Of course, Xue Zhou could recognize Huo Yuan Ze's voice. Although it was just a sentence of "Where are you?", Xue Zhou's expression became quite gloomy.
Jiang Xun quickly turned off the speaker mode, so Xue Zhou couldn't hear the following words. As he watched Jiang Xun walk out, both his hands under the table clenched tightly.
Xue Zhou waited for a long time, but Jiang Xun still hadn't returned. Just as he was about to get up to look for her, the door suddenly opened.
Glancing up, Xue Zhou saw Huo Yuan Ze instead. His expression was as frosty as ice and when his cold eyes landed on Xue Zhou, it contained a mixture of anger and ridicule.
"Why are you here? Where's Xiao Xun?" Xue Zhou's brows furrowed tightly, while his gaze glanced behind Huo Yuan Ze with a trace of disappointment and worry visible in his eyes.
Huo Yuan Ze noticed his expression. He uttered coldly, "She left."
"If she left, then what are you doing here?" Xue Zhou was too lazy to keep up the harmonious facade with him.
Huo Yuan Ze flintily questioned, "Why did you meet up with her?"
Xue Zhou lowered his eyes, "Can't I meet up with her? Did President Huo forget the relationship between me and Xiao Xun? I watched her grow up."
"I haven't forgotten, rather I think there's a problem with your memory. From what I learned, she hasn't been in contact with the Xue family for quite some time now. Since she has no relationship with Xue Yuan, she has even less of a relationship with you."
"So what, the relationship between her and me is not something you can compare to." Xue Zhou gritted his teeth and spoke provocatively.
"Overestimating your own ability." Huo Yuan Ze sneered.
"What do you mean?" Xue Zhou glowered.
"I'm warning you, don't pester her." Once Huo Yuan Ze finished speaking, he turned and left without looking at him again.
Xue Zhou abruptly stood up. He stared at Huo Yuan Ze's back with a gloomy expression in his eyes.
...
On the road back, Huo Yuan Ze drove while Jiang Xun sat in the passenger seat.
The atmosphere was a little stifling. Huo Yuan Ze's expression were gloomy and terrifying the entire time, causing Jiang Xun to secretly glance at him from time to time.
Half way through, Jiang Xun nervously probed. "Uncle Huo, you're angry?"
"Why meet up with Xue Zhou behind my back?" Huo Yuan Ze's emotionless appearance made Jiang Xun anxious.
"I, I didn't go behind your back…" Jiang Xun whispered.
Huo Yuan Ze sternly glanced at her, which instantly made Jiang Xun feel goosebumps rise on her whole body.
Jiang Xun immediately behaved, "I… … I was afraid that you would get angry, so I didn't tell you, and-and I did plan to tell you. When I went out in the morning, I had wanted to tell you."
Jiang Xun took the initiative to bring up the morning incident. Huo Yuan Ze naturally recalled the flaws Jiang Xun intentionally revealed in front of him and believed her slightly. After all, if Jiang Xun didn't show any clues, Huo Yuan Ze wouldn't know that they were out for dinner in the short term.
"Afraid that I'll be angry, so you went out to eat with other men alone?" Huo Yuan Ze laughed coldly.
Jiang Xun bit her lip, feeling a bit wronged, "It's only a meal together."
"He took the initiative to invite you?" Huo Yuan Ze asked casually.
Jiang Xun only hesitated for two seconds before immediately nodding, "He said he would treat me."
Huo Yuan Ze scoffed out of anger, "He invited you and you just agreed?"
Jiang Xun opened his mouth and said a little embarrassingly, "Not exactly."
"Then what is it?" Huo Yuan Ze simply parked the car on the side of the road. After the engine was turned off, he placed both his hands on the steering wheel and stared at Jiang Xun's eyes with a serious face.
"He said he knew that I had also been accepted to that drama, so he wanted to discuss with me about the role. After all, I have no experience in acting, so he can teach me." Jiang Xun timidly peeked at Huo Yuan Ze.
Huo Yuan Ze hmphed, "And you just believed everything he said? Asking him to teach you acting?"
Jiang Xun pursed her mouth. Knowing the reason wasn't on her side, she didn't say anymore.
Huo Yuan Ze's chilling eyes fell on Jiang Xun as he took a deep breath, like he was restraining his anger. The air was quiet for a few seconds before he quickly started the car and continued to drive forward.
Jiang Xun narrowed her mouth and whispered, "Actually, it was not because of this that I agreed to meet him."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't reply.
Jiang Xun pitifully looked at him, "I only went to clearly tell him that I only like you now and have already given up on him."
Huo Yuan Ze's mind went into disarray and almost forgot to turn. When he returned to his senses, he had already passed an intersection.
Jiang Xun continued to whisper, "Don't be angry, okay? I'm afraid of this appearance of yours."
"What are you afraid of?" Huo Yuan Ze said in a deep voice.
"Afraid you'll ignore me, your appearance is extremely scary."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't even look at her, "Your Big Brother Xue Zhou is not scary. He's very gentle, why don't you go find him?"
Jiang Xun was stunned. She stared at him, dumbfounded, and didn't say anything for a while. This… …what was this? This seems to be pure and naked jealousy, right? Did she hear it right?
"I... …I didn't mean that, Uncle Huo, you misunderstood." Although Jiang Xun was laughing wildly internally, she still pretended to be apprehensive.
Huo Yuan Ze appeared to be truly furious, even her coyishness didn't work and he just ignored everything she said.
"Uncle Huo, Uncle Huo."
Jiang Xun called him over and over again, but still couldn't get his response.
"Haaa..." Jiang Xun gave a long sigh.
Leaning against the car window, she stopped talking, as if she was melancholy.
After a while, the car finally stopped. Yet, it stopped at the door of Jiang Xun's own villa.
Jiang Xun looked at Huo Yuan Ze blankly.
Huo Yuan Ze announced, "Get off."
Jiang Xun's gaze firmly stared at him, "No, are you trying to drive me away?"
"Get off, go home." Huo Yuan Ze repeated.
Jiang Xun blinked as her mouth pursed and she, dissatisfied, glared at him. When the two locked eyes, both had subtle yet complex emotions in their eyes.
Suddenly, Jiang Xun pounced over to kiss him. Inside the narrow car interior, Huo Yuan Ze couldn't dodge it. He was hugged by her and kissed on the face.
Huo Yuan Ze immediately pushed her away, but as soon as Jiang Xun was pushed away, she would pounce forward again.
Pushed away and then pounced again, time after time, the two of them enjoyed themselves endlessly. However, Jiang Xun quickly felt bored.
She pressed her mouth together and said accusingly. "Uncle Huo, you don't like me anymore!"
This is an affirmative sentence, which contains a tearful complaint.
Her eyes were all red as tears filled her eyes. It seemed like she had been wronged.
"I've already said it, I went to tell him clearly, I don't like him. Why won't you believe me?"
Jiang Xun rarely had the opportunity to act in such an exaggerated scene, so she acted exceptionally earnestly. Yet, she was extremely professional, and didn't give off any trace of excessive exertion, which was realistic.
Huo Yuan Ze finally spoke up, "I didn't not believe you."
"Then why are you ignoring me?" Jiang Xun cried. The appearance of pear blossoms with dewdrops couldn't make people feel any more pitiful. "I'm simply the most pitiable person ever. I don't even have a single relative. I originally thought Uncle Huo would protect me for the rest of my life. It seems I was wrong."
Huo Yuan Ze looked at her helplessly. He had the urge to reach out to help her wipe away the tears, but when he thought of Jiang Xun and Xue Zhou meeting up for dinner behind his back, he became filled with anger. This made him feel both distressed and angry since he felt as if he had never seen through Jiang Xun.
Seeing Huo Yuan Ze was only looking at her without answering like he still hadn't calmed down, she could only use her trump card.
Jiang Xun bit her lip, leaving two marks on her lower lip. He had to admit that this appearance of Jiang Xun was the most beautiful, even Huo Yuan Ze, who is still in anger, can't help but zone out from looking at her.
Jiang Xun reached out and put her hands on Huo Yuan Ze's stomach. She slowly lowered it to Huo Yuan Ze's pants and drilled her head into his embrace. While she called "Uncle Huo" in a coaxing voice, she thought about what to do next.
When Jiang Xun pulled Huo Yuan Ze's pants, she still hadn't forgotten to coax Huo Yuan Ze. She kept kissing Huo Yuan Ze on his face and neck, making that so Huo Yuan Ze's face was full of lipstick. The impulse Jiang Xun felt under her palms of Huan Yuan Ze's lower body was a little scary.
The scorching touch made Jiang Xun's face flush with blood. She falteringly wanted to withdraw her hand, but Huo Yuan Ze held her hand tightly, making her hand press closely to that place just now.
"Scared?" Huo Yuan Ze muttered.
"How is that possible, how can I be afraid?" Jiang Xun snorted, "Uncle Huo, what nonsense are you saying?"
Huo Yuan Ze stared at her as if he could see through her heart.
"Then what do you want to do?" Huo Yuan Ze's voice contained a trace of enticement.
Jiang Xun: "I want to eat you so that you're not allowed to be angry with me anymore."
Huo Yuan Ze burst out laughing, "Are you still a lady?"
"Then am I still not your darling?" Jiang Xun asked, righteously glaring at him.
Seeing Huo Yuan Ze didn't answer, Jiang Xun fumbled and touched his body even more vigorously. Huo Yuan Ze counter-grasped her wrist, "Stop messing around."
"I won't, who let you be this fierce to me and still won't forgive me?" Jiang Xun pouted her mouth, still acting like a willful princess that couldn't be aggrieved at all. "Unless you say you're not angry anymore and will forgive."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't speak, so Jiang Xun bit his earlobe, then licked and kissed it, driving Huo Yuan Ze crazy.
