Chapter 164 Not Enough
Lu Wan lowered her eyelids and said nothing.
Huo Beiting hugged her for about ten seconds and then let her go.
"I'll pick you up later."
"good."
Lu Wan agreed.
Huo Beiting reached out and rubbed her head before leaving.
Lu Wan stood there and watched him get into the car.
"The person has already left, what are you still looking at?"
Gu Nanyue suddenly appeared behind Lu Wan and said something that obviously scared Lu Wan.
"I just... I just think the scenery in the yard is beautiful."
Lu Wan explained somewhat awkwardly.
"Really? Is this the first day you discovered that my yard is beautiful?" Gu Nanyue looked at Lu Wan's guilty face, "Wanwan, sometimes people still have to face their own hearts and be brave."
If Wanwan was afraid of Huo Beiting and didn't like him before.
But now, she clearly had developed a liking for him.
But she didn't dare to face her own heart.
"Face your own heart..." Lu Wan seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes, just do whatever you want to do. You only come to this world once. Don't look back or think too much. Just do what you want."
The midday sun was very strong. Gu Nanyue took Lu Wan's arm and turned back to the house.
Lu Wan fell into deep thought.
The party didn't disperse until the evening.
Lu Wan was the last one to leave.
Huo Beiting came to pick her up in person after finishing work.
Gu Nanyan watched the two people's car drive away, and couldn't help but say, "Why do I always feel that Wanwan seems to be hiding something in her heart."
Shen Boyan didn't say anything, but took Gu Nanyan's hand.
Gu Nanyue couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
"The weather is getting hotter day by day. Xiao Mumu's early childhood education class will start its holiday in a few days. Should we find a place to escape the heat?"
Although it is not as hot here in Yujing Villa as in the city, it is still a bit hot during the day.
There are some places suitable for summer vacation near Rongcheng.
The family can go on a short vacation.
"Well, can you make time in your schedule?"
Gu Nanyue had no problem with time, but the man in front of her was a very busy man.
"A week should be no problem."
After all, he can work remotely.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
Gu Nanyue leaned her head on his shoulder obediently.
It's fun to go on vacation as a family.
Although Yujing Villa is extremely prosperous, after staying there for a long time, I still want to see the scenery elsewhere.
On a midsummer night, the wind is also hot.
After Huo Beiting sent Lu Wan to Chenxi Apartment, he still skillfully escorted her upstairs.
"Although the weather is hot, you should not turn on the air conditioner too low at night, as it is easy to catch a cold."
Lu Wan was opening the door when Huo Beiting's deep voice came from behind.
Lu Wan didn't respond, just nodded.
She opened the door and walked in first.
There was no movement behind.
Lu Wan hesitated for two seconds, then turned around and looked at the tall figure standing at the door. "Why don't you come in and sit down?"
Huo Beiting looked at her and said nothing.
Lu Wan quickly found an excuse, "Well, I noticed that you didn't drink any water while driving all the way. Come in and have some water."
"good."
Huo Beiting originally planned to leave directly, but he still walked in.
Lu Wan quickly poured him a glass of water.
When Huo Beiting took it, his fingers touched Lu Wan's fingers intentionally or unintentionally.
Her body seemed to be electrocuted and she quickly retracted her hand.
"No murals recently?"
Huo Beiting held the water cup in his hand, looked around Lu Wan's apartment which looked like a studio, and asked casually.
"No..." Lu Wan poured herself a glass of water, holding the glass in both hands and sitting next to Huo Beiting, "I don't plan to paint for the time being."
"Are you scared by what happened last time?"
The man's dark eyes looked deeply at her.
Lu Wan didn't say anything, but nodded anyway.
If Mr. Huo hadn't appeared in time, she didn't know what would have happened.
She is so useless that she can't protect herself.
Since she had no ability to protect herself, she would not put herself in danger.
"If you really like it, I can help you introduce clients."
Huo Beiting drank the water in one breath and put the cup down calmly.
"Really?" Lu Wan's eyes lit up instantly.
The clients introduced by Mr. Huo are definitely reliable.
After all, there aren’t many people in the entire Rongcheng who aren’t afraid of him.
"But everything I do is conditional." Huo Beiting looked at her meaningfully.
Lu Wan met his eyes and slowly put down the cup in her hand.
Maybe it was because both of them drank today, the air was filled with the intoxicating smell of alcohol.
Lu Wan sat closer to him as if possessed by a ghost. Looking at the man's cold and handsome face, she couldn't help but move closer to him and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "Is this okay?"
The girl's sweet voice rang in his ears and in the dark night, and Huo Beiting's throat rolled quickly twice.
"not enough."
He raised one of his big hands and held the girl's cheek. After scratching her delicate skin with his fingertips, he kissed her.
Lu Wan did not break free, nor did she struggle. Instead, she closed her eyes and slowly responded to the man's kiss.
The kiss lasted for a long time in the silent and hot night.
When they separated, the girl leaned on the man's shoulder, breathing heavily.
The man's expression seemed very forbearing.
He was even so patient that one could see the bulging blue veins on his clenched hands.
But he didn't dare to do more.
He understood one thing: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
In a moment of impulse, he scared the little white rabbit that was approaching him and made it turn around and run away.
After Lu Wan recovered, she left the man's arms.
She grabbed a pillow and hugged it in her arms, her cheeks flushed and she buried her head and refused to speak.
"Then I'll go back first."
Huo Beiting raised his hand to check the time. He still had some official business to take care of when he got back.
"Um."
Lu Wan still kept her head down, not daring to look at him.
Huo Beiting tugged at his tie again, said nothing more, and stood up and left.
Only after the door closed did Lu Wan raise her head.
Her rosy lips were slightly swollen, with some breath still remaining on them.
Lu Wan frowned slightly, her expression looking a bit struggling, but in the end she let out a sigh of surrender.
It was a long time before she picked up her phone and logged into Weibo.
I found the pinned link and sent a message: [There are many ways to heal yourself in this world. In addition to painting, I seem to have found another way.]
About an hour later, the other party replied with a message: [I think so too]
Lu Wan looked at the message and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Did he find other ways to heal himself, too?
It’s great that the two of them who are in the darkness together will eventually have their own light.
And that light will become brighter and brighter.
In a private mansion.
Huo Beiting held up his phone and stared at the last two messages in the dialog box.
That cold face seemed to be gradually softening.
