After attending the cocktail party and shopping in the mall for quite some time, Gu Ruochu felt that her ankles were beginning to ache slightly.
Fortunately, these shoes fit her size. Otherwise, she would have suffered even more. She frowned and reached out to rub her ankles.
Huo Nanchen looked at her and his gaze fell on her ankles.
Suddenly, he crouched down and held one of her ankles and massaged it. The thin layer of calluses on her well-defined toes carried his warm breath.
"You're running in high heels, do you want to hurt your feet?"
Gu Ruochu subconsciously tried to pull back her leg but he held on tightly.
Huo Nanchen raised his eyes to look at her when he saw she was throwing a tantrum over the incident. He did not seem to mind. "Is that male celebrity that good-looking? So what if he's good-looking? Am I not several times better-looking than him? You can look at me whenever you want and you can feel me up close. You can do whatever you want."
He spoke as if he was coaxing a child, but his tone was still serious.
He leaned closer and she could sense his impeccable aura. He was indeed very good-looking and he had no blind spots. However, she had not been after Jin Ye because of his good looks.
"I'll show you."
"Huo Nanchen!"
Gu Ruochu subconsciously stepped back. In the past, she was the one who usually made him angry. Now, the shoe was on the other foot and she was furious with him.
"Be good."
Huo Nanchen reached out and pulled her into his arms. The smile on his lips disappeared in an instant.
Why wasn't she obedient? Her legs were hurt and she couldn't run from him.
Uncle Wang watched as the Young Madam was carried back into the car. He waited for them to get into the car before deliberately raising the car's partition between the driver and the back seat passengers.
It was as if he was saying, "I'm out of your way now, you can do whatever you want."
Gu Ruochu was taken aback.
Huo Nanchen sat by her side and calmly picked up her foot and placed it on his leg. His large hand continued to rub her ankle in a delicate and gentle manner.
Gu Ruochu could not break free after a few kicks. She finally gave in and allowed the warmth to spread from her feet to her entire body.
"..."
Huo Zijun sat on the sofa and stared at the door expressionlessly. His eyes did not blink and he had something tightly gripped in his hand.
"Big Brother, Big brother, don't thank me too much this time. Little brother will help you get in touch with your sister-in-law as soon as possible. When you wake up tomorrow and want to kill someone, your little brother will already be in the southern hemisphere. Hmph!"
Huo Zijun mumbled to himself while revealing his standard white teeth. He was getting restless.
"Second brother, what are you looking at?"
Huo Zirui had woken up at noon and lazily dragged himself downstairs. He could not help but ask when he saw Huo Zijun's expression.
Huo Zijun, who had a guilty conscience, was shocked. He patted his little heart and rolled his eyes. "Go! Do what you need to do. This has nothing to do with you."
'Damn, this fellow better not ruin my plans.'
However, Huo Zirui could not be fooled. The more he looked at Huo Zijun, the more he felt that there was something fishy going on. He poured himself a glass of ice water. "Second Brother, you must be waiting for Gu Ruochu and Big Brother. Why? does mom want you to be a god-like helper for Big Brother and his wife?"
"If it's not that, what else can I do?" Huo Zijun laughed as he tried to muddle through the situation. He knew that his little brother hated Gu Ruochu. If he were to tell him what he was up to, he might expose him and his mother would be very disappointed.
Huo Zijun suddenly opened his palm and the mysterious object he had been concealing fell from his hand.
Huo Zijun quickly picked it up but his brother had already seen it.
Huo Zirui's face twitched and he had the urge to give himself a slap.
"Is that Chun medicine? Mom is so harsh."
