"Let's go home first. I'm fine." Gu Ruochu restrained herself. To begin with, she did not know the truth of the matter. Secondly, she had not figured out how she would confront him.
This was the first time she had dealt with such a situation. It was inevitable that she would be in a mess.
Huo Nanchen did not force her to say anything more. He continued to hold her hand stubbornly and said calmly, "I can't possibly report every time I touch you in the future, can I?"
"What are you talking about?" Gu Ruochu retorted.
When she heard his tone, Gu Ruochu gave up on her reflexive struggle. However, her slight unnaturalness and stiffness made her silent eyes look a little dangerous.
"Let's go home." Huo Nanchen's tone was gentle. He did not want to say anything that would upset her. He placed his hand on Gu Ruochu's shoulder and led her into the car.
A soft kiss landed on Gu Ruochu's forehead. At that moment, Gu Ruochu's heart trembled slightly.
Fortunately, the car arrived at the Huo residence in less than half an hour.
"Huo Nanchen, do you like children?" Gu Ruochu asked before getting out of the car. He was stunned for a few seconds before he pressed his hand against her forehead and chuckled, "What? Do you want to have a child with me?"
"If I were to one day ask you to choose between me and a child, who would you choose?"
"What do you mean?"
Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows. Before she could react, his hand had already slid down onto her stomach. He looked as if he was about to descend. "You're already thinking about competing with a child before you even have a chance to have a child. Huh?"
Huo Nanchen's mood was clearly much better when he saw her bashful expression. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
His body was always warm, powerful, and even hot. Gu Ruochu could not push him away. "Stop it. Everyone's back. Don't do anything rash."
"All right." He finally let go of her.
Nanny Zhang and a housekeeper were standing guard at the door. They looked over and asked, "Young Master, Young Madam, you're back?"
"Is someone here?"
The housekeeper nodded. "Young Master An Shaosi is here. He's been waiting for you for quite some time."
Huo Nanchen was displeased with his sudden visit. He nodded and said, "All right, I'll be there in a while."
Gu Ruochu saw that he was busy at that moment, so she decided to calm down and think things through.
She did not expect him to hold her hand as soon as she took a step forward. His deep eyes were fixed on her.
"Aren't you busy?"
"I'll teach you a lesson when I get back." He leaned over and kissed her on the side of her face a few times. Before she could react, he had already left.
"..."
Gu Ruochu was in a bad mood, but she could not resist when she saw the warm look in Nanny Zhang's eyes. "Nanny Zhang, I'm going upstairs first. I don't really feel like coming down for dinner. Can you help me send my dinner upstairs?"
"Sure, I'll go make whatever the Young Madam wants."
"Just fix some noodles. I don't have a good appetite," Gu Ruochu instructed before heading upstairs. Even though the Young Madam had said that she did not have a good appetite, Nanny Zhang still wanted to make something delicious for Gu Ruochu.
Huo Nanchen saw An Shaosi sitting on the sofa. He strode in with his long legs and stood still. "Why are you looking for me so late in the night?"
An Shaosi turned around when he heard the commotion. He said playfully, "It seems that I've disturbed someone's sexual desire. However, this matter is rather important. It has something to do with your wife."
"What?"
"A few days ago, I found out that your wife has a secret bank account. A large sum of money has been transferred into her account all year round. I did some research, and found that last time, a million dollars were transferred into her account before she got into the car accident," An Shaosi said. "The person who transferred the money is very smart. He moved the money twice before it finally landed in your wife's account. Can you guess the identity of the person who gave your wife such a large sum of money?"
