Xun Ting was taken aback and couldn't help but think of the time she blurred this man's face. Could it be that he saw it and was bothered that she hadn't exposed him?
But……
"Speechless?" Huo Lin stared directly at the woman with his dark, unfathomable eyes. He had never intended to hide her existence, yet she was unwilling to expose him.
Was she afraid his presence would hinder her relationships with other men? Or did she simply not want to have anything to do with him?
Xun Ting was taken aback. This man didn't mind their relationship being exposed? So he was angry today because she didn't mention him on Weibo?
Thinking of this, she felt a strange warmth in her heart and couldn't help but look up at the man, using her usual tactic of showering him with compliments.
“My darling~ So...so you love me, I never knew...They say I'm not good enough for you, I'm afraid...I'm afraid you think so too, so I didn't dare to reveal our relationship.”
Gu Zhu couldn't help but praise the young mistress in his heart. She really knew how to be charming. Any man would probably soften his heart if he heard such words.
Besides, he's already fallen in love with Master Huo, so his anger has probably dissipated long ago.
"Is that so?" Huo Lin looked down at the woman. Her face was full of flattery, without a trace of sincerity. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
She's always been good at flattery. Even though she could tell it was fake, she still felt happy. Being swayed by someone's emotions is not a good thing.
Huo Lin frowned subconsciously.
"Of course!" Xun Ting answered eagerly. Anyway, if you made a mistake, you just have to flatter the villain. Villains are always easy to please, and she has always known this.
"Listen carefully, I'll only say it one last time: you deserve it," Huo Lin said in a deep voice.
His already fierce face looked even more frightening without a smile, yet he exuded a serious and earnest air that made people believe him.
"Yes, yes, listen carefully!" Xun Ting nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She was sure that if she didn't listen carefully, this man would definitely be unhappy.
A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
For the first time in my life, I had someone I wanted to like unconditionally.
"Let's go." Huo Lin stretched out his large hand in front of her, his sharp eyes looking directly at her.
Xun Ting reached out and placed her hand on the man's chest without hesitation, a smile still playing on her lips.
As the man led her into the villa, she kept a wary eye on the dog. Although the dog was staring at her, it didn't dare to move under Huo Lin's direct gaze.
She isn't afraid as long as the dog doesn't get close.
After entering the villa, Huo Lin did not let go of the woman's hand. Instead, he turned around, looked down at her, and asked calmly, "Why are you afraid of dogs?"
Xun Ting froze instinctively at the movement in her hands. Why was she afraid of dogs...? She remembered something from a long, long time ago, and then gave a bitter smile.
"It's all in the past, it doesn't matter anymore."
Huo Lin keenly noticed something was off about the woman's face. She was fearless in all things but unusually afraid of dogs, and he absolutely did not believe that there was nothing wrong with her.
If she really doesn't want to talk about it, it's not good to force her. After all, it would be painful for her to tear open the scabbed wound again. "If you're still afraid, you haven't gotten over it."
Xun Ting paused instinctively, realizing that being afraid meant there was no past.
It may never be over.
Her other hand, which wasn't in the man's hand, unconsciously clenched into a fist, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.
