Chapter 34: Miss Lin

The moment Han Chi opened the door, a red figure barged in and pounced in front of Huo Yuan, hugging him.

“Is Huo Yuan injured? Are you frightened? My poor little Huo Yuan, come here quickly, let Auntie take a look. Where does it hurt? What’s wrong?” Lin Xin hugged Huo Yuan as tears fell.

Huo Yuan was not used to being suddenly hugged. He broke free from Lin Xin’s embrace and leaned into Huo Ce’s arms.

Lin Xin looked up and immediately flew into a rage when she saw Ning Wan. “How did you raise the child? How could you let something so dangerous happen to Huo Yuan? Do you know who Huo Yuan is? Do you know how important he is to the Huo family? How many lives do you have to pay for any mishap?”

Ning Wan looked at Lin Xin in a daze. She was not stunned by her scolding, but she was amazed by the speed at which her expression changed.

[Is there a tap installed in her eyes? These tears come and go as she pleases. How can her face change so easily? Her acting skills are amazing!]

It was no wonder that Ning Wan was surprised. Even she, the Best Actress, felt inferior to Lin Xin’s “emotional change” in a few minutes.

“Say something! Have you gone stupid now? What were you doing earlier?” Lin Xin raised her hand and pushed Ning Wan.

Ning Wan was completely unprepared. She could not help but lose her balance and fall back from the push from Lin Xin.

Huo Ce caught Ning Wan and turned around to put her steadily aside. Ning Wan was still in shock and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Huo Ce’s shirt. She looked at Lin Xin in shock.

“Lin Xin, you’ve gone too far!” Huo Ce said coldly.

Lin Xin was stunned. She never expected Huo Ce to be on Ning Wan’s side.

Ning Wan was just a decoration of the Huo family. Hadn’t he always ignored her existence?

It was precisely because of Huo Ce’s attitude that Lin Xin was never anxious. She knew that Huo Ce’s heart was not with Ning Wan, and she would always have a chance. It was just that the time was not ripe yet.

“Apologize to Ning Wan. You have no right to criticize her. She was the one who protected Huo Yuan with all her might!” Huo Ce protected Ning Wan in his arms and explained coldly.

Lin Xin was even more shocked, but her mind was racing. She quickly tried her best to smile. “I’m sorry, Ning Wan. I was anxious and lost my temper at you. Don’t be angry. Look at my anxiousness!”

She went forward and pulled Ning Wan’s hand out of Huo Ce’s arms as she spoke. “Quickly let me see if you’re injured.”

Ning Wan gently broke free from Lin Xin’s hand and said docilely, “No, I’m not injured.”

[Huo Ce, are you stupid? This woman has been marinated with vinegar. Why don’t you understand? It’s really difficult to put on such a good show even for a Best Actress. It’s a pity that I met a stupid cow like Huo Ce who doesn’t know how to be flirtatious!]

Huo Ce frowned. Why is this wretched girl so scheming? How dare she frame him like this?

Lin Xin held Ning Wan’s hand again and asked about her well-being. Her attitude was very intimate. Those who did not know better would think that the two of them were very good friends!

Ning Wan reached out to wipe away her goosebumps and forced a smile. “Miss Lin, thank you. I’m really fine. It’s just that Huo Yuan and I were a little frightened. I-I have a headache now. I want to rest. Mr. Huo and you must be very busy, right? Why don’t you guys go busy with work?”

A sincere smile appeared on Lin Xin’s face. Not bad. At least she was sensible!

Huo Ce frowned. “We don’t have any work to do. You and Huo Yuan can sleep for a while. I’ll accompany you.”

Huo Yuan’s eyes lit up.

However, Lin Xin said, “Why isn’t there any work? Huo Ce, there are still some problems with the land we’ve taken a liking to. I’m here to discuss it with you. Since Ning Wan and Huo Yuan are fine, why don’t we discuss the details?”

Huo Yuan’s eyes darkened.

However, Ning Wan said gently, “Go do your work. Huo Yuan and I are fine. I’ll take good care of him.”

[Please leave quickly. If you don’t leave, I’ll be annoyed to death.]

Huo Ce could not help but glare at Ning Wan. How dare she despise him?

Ning Wan was baffled by his glare. She could only put on her usual docile mask and lower her head in silence.

Lin Xin burst with joy and her face could not help but become even more pleasant.

[Please leave quickly. Let Huo Yuan and I have a good sleep.]

Only then did Huo Ce’s expression soften. “Take Huo Yuan to rest for a while. I’ll pick you up for dinner tonight.”
