"no, i'm fine."

"aren't you afraid?" he didn't believe it.

"then hurry up and come back, stop playing outside, you don't even know how much i miss you." huo xiwen's voice became choked with sobs.

how could she not be afraid? just a moment ago, she was almost afraid that she would have to hand it over to someone else.

if it wasn't for housekeeper zhang knocking on the door, if he forcefully wanted to have something happen to her, with her ability, she wouldn't be able to stop him.

"alright." chen yanzhuo said as he hung up the phone.

after putting down the phone, she sniffed and suppressed the grievances in her heart. she turned her head to look at fu mujun who was on the sofa and smiled, "my mommy is so slow."

"aunt was concerned about you, so she talked about you. did she say when she would be back? " fu mujun asked.

"maybe a few more days. she seems to be having a good time abroad." "no," she replied.

"what a pity. i want to see her as soon as possible." fu mujun shook his head.

"you'll see her when she comes back, but don't scare you, my mommy might be nagging." huo xiwen joked.

"for the sake of marrying you, i'm not afraid of anything." he looked at her affectionately.

huo xiwen looked at him blankly, then laughed again.

fu mujun sat down for a while, then his phone suddenly rang. he got up and went to the side to answer a call. he then turned around and said to huo xi wen, "xi wen, it's getting late. i have to go."

at this time, huo xiwen acted as if he was reluctant to part: "are you going to leave now?"

"yes, the a.s.sistant just called. the company has an emergency to deal with." fu mujun said.

"it's already so late and you still have to work. it seems that the boss has worked very hard." huo xiwen's tone was filled with heartache.

"alright, rest early." fu mujun said as he pinched her white cheeks, "hurry up and go upstairs to sleep for beauty."

"i'll send you out first." huo xiwen put his arm around his arm, looking extremely intimate. meanwhile, the hand that was near the pocket of his shirt held the diamond earring that he had quietly taken off his ear just now when he was on the phone.

he slightly straightened his finger and the earring slipped into his pocket through the gap between his fingers.

she did all of this in a mysterious manner that no one noticed. fu mujun didn't even know where he was, and from this moment onwards, he was locked onto.

she walked him to the door, watched him get in the car, and watched him leave. huo xiwen was about to turn back into the house when a figure flashed around the corner beside the iron gate, and before she could clearly see who it was, she was pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.

"chen …" she opened her mouth to call out his name, but in the next second, his warm lips closed around hers, preventing her from making a sound.

his kiss was overbearing, as if it wanted to take over her entire body and swallow her whole. however, the force was so gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

huo xiwen's mind was blank. before she could even feel his kiss, he had already let go of her.

"did you just kiss me?" raising her head, she looked at him blankly with her watery eyes, as if she had yet to recover from that kiss.

"nope."

"no?" she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. "what was that just now?"

"punishment!" his voice was very low, but there was a hint of indescribable s.e.xiness in it, causing her to feel a bit infatuated.

"punishment? then punish me again. i didn't fully feel it just now. " huo xiwen pouted, then moved in front of him.

chen held her face in his hands, both angry and amused. "do you know how dangerous it was at the beginning?"

"i know, but there's nothing i can do. he suddenly barged in, and i didn't even have time to react." recalling the scene that happened in the bedroom, she felt her scalp tingling and her entire body feeling uncomfortable.

"it seems that your home isn't too safe." he raised his head and looked at the luxurious villa in front of him. now that madam huo wasn't here, there was almost no one in this mansion who could stop fu mujun's actions.

"yeah, i told you. "then are you going to take me to live with you?" huo xiwen blinked in front of him, begging him to take her in.

"my home is more dangerous."

"it's not dangerous, your home is the safest." she leaned into his arms, slightly coquettish.

"xi wen, you know what i mean by danger." chen yanzhuo looked at her with a serious expression again.

"alright, i know what you want to say. can you not look at me like that? i was frightened today. shouldn't you comfort me? " huo xiwen puffed up her cheeks with a wronged look on her face.

"how do you want me to comfort you?" he asked, amused at her shameless behavior.

"yes, let's do the same punishment again." huo xiwen blinked his beautiful eyes and said with a naughty smile.

"xi wen, you're a girl, you should be more reserved." chen yanzhuo said in a serious tone.

"i know, don't worry. i'm very reserved towards others, but you're the man i like. i don't want to be reserved." "kiss it," huo xiwen said, standing on tiptoe and pressing his face to his cheek. "just kiss it, okay?"

chen yanzhuo simply couldn't refuse her request. in fact, he wanted to kiss her more than ever, but that kiss just now was a momentary impulse, and it was already irrevocable. and now, if he continued like this, wouldn't it be like giving her a signal, encouraging her to continue attacking him?

"it's getting late, let's go inside." resisting the urge, he pushed her away, opening up a safe distance from her and speaking to her.

seeing this, huo xiwen felt somewhat disappointed. however, she also knew that the relationship between them had advanced by leaps and bounds, based on what had just happened. she couldn't be too anxious.

at least, the current chen yanzhuo didn't reject her approach like before.

"i just put the earring in fu mujun's pocket, i think it might be helpful to you guys to follow him, he just picked up a phone and left, there seems to be something urgent, you can see where he went." at this time, huo xiwen suddenly thought of something important and said to him.

hearing this, chen yanzhuo's expression slightly changed, "okay, you can go back and rest. i will take care of the rest."

huo xi wen nodded and looked at him again: "chen zhi zhuo, you …" "be careful."

chen yanzhuo's deep eyes stared back at her. at this moment, he seemed to discover something from the depths of her eyes.

did she know who he was?

that was why he was so thick-skinned and kept pestering him.

he could think of no other reason to make her what she was.
