Chapter 39

Mrs. Huo, you want to thank me?

Huo Shiting paused and didn’t continue on this topic. He looked at the time and ordered Lin Long, “Tell her to come over to the car later.”

Jiang Yubai felt that the ‘her’ mentioned should be the sister-in-law he had never met.

15 minutes later.

Ye Beisheng bent her back and quietly walked to the back door. Like a thief, she ran to the front of a car and looked left and right. After making sure that no one was around, she got into the car as fast as she could. Ye Beisheng then heaved a sigh of relief, as if she had just put on a silent play.

Huo Shiting’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “It seems like Mrs. Huo has a strong desire for performance art.”

Ye Beisheng almost choked on herself.

Was this man mocking her actions before she got into the car?

She straightened her back. “Your car is too luxurious. If my classmates see it, they might make up stories. I sneaked into the car for the sake of your own reputation!”

“Ohhh…”

Huo Shiting leaned back in his chair and pushed a lunchbox over.

Ye Beisheng instinctively swallowed her saliva.

“Ninth master….you came here to send me food?!”

“Mrs. Huo, you look like you have been badly mocked earlier. Would you still be going to the cafeteria for food?”

Ye Beisheng had originally planned to have a casual meal in the cafeteria. After all, she had no sense of taste, so it didn’t matter what she ate.

But now, Huo shiting actually sent her food!

Plus, Huo Shiting didn’t know the effect of her kissing him. Of course, he couldn’t know that she was treating him as an antidote.

Ye Beisheng thought about it for three seconds before she suddenly raised her head and smiled. Her voice was so sweet that it was intoxicating.

“Ninth master~”

Huo Shiting’s lips curved up slightly.

Ye Beisheng lowered her head and looked at the lunchbox. Inside was an abalone that had been meticulously cooked by the chef of the Misty Mountain Villa.

What was the taste of abalone again?

Although she had eaten it all these years, she had never tasted it.

With such a great opportunity in front of her, Ye Beisheng finally couldn’t hold back her excitement. “Ninth master, I’m so touched that you’re here to bring me food!”

Huo Shiting’s eyes were cold and he replied, “Is it?”

She tried her best to make her smile look gentle and beautiful. “Then, to express my gratitude to you, why don’t…..?”

“You want to express your gratitude to me?” Huo Shiting’s voice was faint.

Ye Beisheng was excited when she heard this. “Of course!”

The man chuckled and suddenly turned his head. “Mrs. Huo, how do you want to express your gratitude?”

“Well, this…..Of course, I…”

Ye Beisheng suddenly paused.

Although she felt that she was rather shameless, she was still embarrassed to say that she wanted to kiss him as a sign of gratitude.

Huo Shiting’s smile grew.

The man tapped the leather chair lightly with his fingertips. He did not rush her but Ye Beisheng felt pressured.

Finally, she gave in to the smell of the food and closed her eyes, facing a social ‘death’.

“Ninth master, we’re already a married couple. How else can we thank each other? Am I right?”

Huo Shiting didn’t even lift his eyelids and his voice was deep as he said, “Since Mrs. Huo wants to thank me, shouldn’t I decide what I want to have in return?”

Ye Beisheng thought that there was nothing wrong with him saying so.

Even if Huo Shiting didn’t want a kiss as a thank-you gift, she could still say that a kiss was an additional gesture.

“Ninth master, please tell me!” Ye Beisheng nodded her head seriously.

Once he’s done, Ye Beisheng would be able to enjoy her delicious abalone.

The man’s lips suddenly curled up and the smile on his lips grew bigger.

As if he had thought of something funny, his Adam’s apple rolled up and down before he slowly spoke.

“Then, Mrs. Huo, remember this. In the future… you are not allowed to kiss me.”
