Sang Xiao Yu raised her head and looked at her watch, muttering to herself in doubt, "It's this late, who could it be?"
"I'm going to open the door!" Qin Si Nian had already stood up and walked towards the profound entrance.
The remaining two of his best friends looked at each other in dismay. Sang Xiao Yu's curiosity increased even further.
When he saw a tall figure appear, he immediately informed her, "Little White, it seems to be Hutong!"
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.
In fact, when the knock on the door came, she had already guessed that it was him.
As the anti-theft door closed, the steady and familiar footsteps drew closer and closer. Lin Wan Bai pretended not to see it as he turned his head slightly to the side and did not take the initiative to look.
It was only when she stood with her long legs by her side that she managed to look out of the corner of her eye.
Only then did he realize that his entire body was drenched and he wasn't even wearing the suit jacket s. On top of that, there was only a thin white shirt, and right now, his entire body was stuck to his body, and his short hair was dripping raindrops.
Lin Wan Bai had already forgotten that she was determined to ignore him and immediately stood up from the sofa.
He raised both his hands faster than his head and wiped the water off his face, feeling extremely pained. "Huo Chang Yuan, how did you get poured out like this? It's raining so heavily outside, don't you know to hold on with an umbrella?"
"I came out too quickly, I didn't have time." Huo Chang Yuan explained as he pouted.
Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai's heart ached even more.
Qin Si Nian took a bath towel and handed it over, he did not forget to help him out, "Wipe them first! It's so late at night and the rain is so heavy, yet you still run over here. Look at you, not a single part of your body is dry! "
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips, and looked at him with eyes full of worry.
"Aunt Li told me that you won't be back tonight." Huo Chang Yuan wiped the towel on her body a few times and looked down at her, "I know you're still angry, but how can I let you go?! Furthermore, how can I sleep with you outside? Dou Dou is waiting for you at home! "
After pausing for a moment, he moved closer and whispered into her ear, "Wangwen, come back with me. I will continue sleeping in the study room."
Lin Wan Bai raised his head and saw those deep and calm eyes. They were currently as soft as a little bun and the light that shone on them added a little pity to them.
Her already weak heart was already beginning to crumble.
"Lil 'White, are you staying tonight?" Sang Xiao Yu asked while smiling at the side.
Lin Wan Bai's fingers clenched, but when he saw the droplets of rain that dripped from his temples, he finally couldn't bear to shake his head. "Uh, no …"
Huo Chang Yuan and Qin Si Nian heaved a sigh of relief.
The former finally brought his woman home, while the latter finally didn't have to leave her.
Huo Chang Yuan held her hand and said gratefully, "Miss Sang, sorry to bother you.
"I am good friends with Lil 'White, you don't have to be courteous with me, Hutong!" Sang Xiao Yu waved his hands, thinking back to the past, Huo Chang Yuan had helped her a lot because of Lin Wan Bai.
"Then we will leave first, Si Nian, you guys rest early!"
After Huo Chang Yuan finished speaking, he led her out of the profound entrance.
When the anti-theft door closed, Qin Si Nian secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid.
The rain didn't seem to be getting any heavier. It was still pouring heavily. The two didn't talk much along the way, only the wipers swinging from the front and back.
After entering the villa, the little bun had already been coaxed to sleep by the Aunt Li. Lin Wan Bai turned his head and said to him, "Take off your wet clothes, quickly go in and take a hot bath!"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded.
About ten minutes later, he came out wrapped in a towel.
When Lin Wan Bai wanted to go in to throw his wet clothes into the washing machine, he saw that Yue Yang had sneezed loudly.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
Huo Chang Yuan shook his head, he took a drag on a piece of paper and said hoarsely, "I might have caught a cold."
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, he could not help but frown.
When he thought about how he had just been severely injured while lying in the hospital, but still hadn't fully recovered yet, the doctor also warned him to take a good rest. What would he do if he caught a cold from the rain …
Lin Wan Bai pulled away the blanket and placed the pillow back on the bed, "Lie down on the bed for a while, I will go downstairs and cook a bowl of ginger water for you and drink the cold water, if not you will have a fever at night!"
Huo Chang Yuan pouted and laid down according to what she said.
Seeing her disappearing at the door of the bedroom, her thin lips slightly parted into an arc.
"Ugh …"
The Bitter Meat Tactic was indeed the most effective method.
Huo Chang Yuan lazily lied on the bed. After all, he had been alone in the study for the whole night.
Very quickly, Lin Wan Bai came back with a bowl of ginger water.
I'm afraid it'll be too spicy. She added some brown sugar and handed it to him.
Huo Chang Yuan did not hesitate, sitting up, he raised his head and drank it all up. When he gave the bowl to her, he did not let go, but used some strength to hug her tightly.
Lin Wan Bai simply wasn't on guard at all, and practically fell on his chest.
She shyly pushed him away, "Let go …"
"I'm not letting go!" Huo Chang Yuan did not let go and tightened it even more.
Lin Wan Bai was about to be stuffed into his body, she could not even breathe, in the midst of struggling, she heard him give her a light kiss on her ear, "Wan wen, I'm sorry."
"I know, it's my fault, my fault." Huo Chang Yuan sighed, her calm voice contained deep remorse and regret, "I'm also very regretful. I misunderstood you at that time, don't be angry, hm?"
Lin Wan Bai slowly pursed his lips.
Raising her head from his embrace, she said while frowning, "Huo Chang Yuan, I am indeed very angry, because what makes me angry is that you think that I betrayed you, which means that you don't believe me at all!"
Lin Wan Bai knew that this was just a misunderstanding.
It was the malice of others that led to their breakup. Other than understanding, she could imagine that when he saw those photos, he was also upset. He was purposely misled into thinking that he had been betrayed by his own woman.
When he thought about how she had relied on his power to carry out her grandmother's funeral, he felt so heartbroken that he didn't know how she had endured it. However, what angered him even more was that he didn't believe himself.
"It's not that I don't believe it." Huo Chang Yuan tried to explain.
Just as Lin Wan Bai wanted to refute him, she heard his low voice continuing, "I just … "Afraid."
"Afraid?" She looked puzzled.
At the same time, he was also very surprised when he said those two words.
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan's eyebrows drooped downwards, his deep and calm eyes seemed to want to suck her in, and he dissected himself to her for the first time, "How did our relationship start? You and I both know that after the transaction, I was not willing to let go of all ties with you, and proposed to date you. But all this time, it has always been me using powerful and overbearing methods to keep you by my side. From beginning to end, you have always been in a passive state within this relationship. "
If I did not force you, you might have chosen him. Therefore, I was naturally afraid, because you have never taken the initiative to express your feelings for me, and even … I never said I liked it. "
At the end, his voice was low and heavy with grievance.
Lin Wan Bai was stunned.
She had never thought that he would think this way.
He clearly seemed to be in high spirits, and there was nothing he couldn't control about his planning. He could handle everything with ease, but when he faced her, he unexpectedly had such an unconfident side to him. Furthermore, he was afraid …
But when she thought back, she really did not seem to have expressed anything.
All along, she had gotten used to his tyrannical feelings. Coupled with her personality, she had very docilely followed his footsteps. Once, he had even unintentionally told her that he liked her …
However, how could he not know that, no matter how domineering he was, if she did not have the slightest bit of feelings for him after the transaction was concluded, how could she agree to his arrangement?
Lin Wan Bai found it funny, but he felt sour in his heart.
"Idiot …"
She raised her head and softly cursed.
This was what Huo Chang Yuan often scolded her before. Just as his face darkened, she suddenly said, "I love you!"
