Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly, looking displeased.

He ignored Huo Chaosheng’s words. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Lin

Shanchu.

“Come and sit down.”

His tone was gentle and polite, sounding a little distant.

Lin Shanchu walked over without saying a word.

Li MO, who was sitting next to Huo Xunzhou, subconsciously stood up to give up his seat when he saw Lin Shanchu coming over.

Huo Xunzhou calmly held his arm.

Lin Shanchu took a seat opposite Huo Xunzhou.

“Miss Lin,” Li MO greeted her.

Lin Shanchu smiled at him.

Nan Mu, who was sitting on the other side of Huo Xunzhou, asked Lin Shanchu, “Did the interview go well?”

“It went smoothly,” Lin Shanchu replied.

Although Qi Cheng had attended big occassions before, he had never attended such a private dinner with all the big shots.

He sat down obediently with He Xiang at the side.

Huo Chaosheng was the last to sit down.

He sat beside Lin Shanchu.

“Look at what you want to eat.” Huo Xunzhou’s charming voice sounded deliberately gentle as he handed the menu to Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu looked up at Huo Xunzhou, she was sizing him up.

Huo Xunzhou did not usually speak like this.

Whether he was happy or not, Huo Xunzhou usually spoke in a very indifferent tone.

Occasionally, there would be some emotional fluctuations and subtle differences in tone. However, one could hardly notice it without listening to it carefully.

At this moment, Huo Xunzhou’s deliberate gentleness did not make her feel close to him. Instead, it made him seem distant.

Lin Shanchu took the menu and said, “Thank you.”

Huo Chaosheng stroked his chin and said unhappily, “Third Brother, you’re biased and don’t even give me the menu.”

“Don’t you have hands?” Huo Xunzhou snorted.

“Alright, alright, I’ll take it myself. I’m not as beautiful and doting as Sister Shanshan after all.” Although Huo Chaosheng was sighing, there was no hint of unhappiness in his tone.

Lin Shanchu calmly heard every word of the conversation between the two people.

There was nothing wrong with their conversation.

As a bystander, Lin Shanchu even felt that Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were fairly close brothers.

Back in the training camp, Huo Chaosheng would behave himself as soon as Huo Xunzhou opened his mouth.

Huo Chaosheng was very disciplined in front of Huo Xunzhou.

As for Huo Xunzhou’s attitude towards Huo Chaosheng…

Lin Shanchu could not understand them.

In short, there was something strange about the way these two brothers got along with each other.

Huo Xunzhou was also a little puzzled.

Lin Shanchu was annoyed for some reason. She stomped on Huo Chaosheng’s foot under the table and said, “I told you I have a name.”

Huo Chaosheng immediately begged for mercy. “Alright, alright. I won’t call you Sister Shanshan, okay!”

Lin Shanchu moved her foot away.

Huo Chaosheng smiled at her, then turned around and said smugly, “You don’t know how silly this sister of mine is. When I went to Lu Corporation, she didn’t know that Lu Shiyuan was about to lay hands on her. Fortunately, I appeared in time to save the damsel in distress!”

As he spoke, he stared at Huo Xunzhou the entire time, not letting go of any of his expressions.

Nan Mu and Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou at the same time.

Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and looked at Lin Shanchu with concern. “If you need my help, just let me know.”

Huo Xunzhou was a restrained deep thinker.

The more polite and generous he was without concealing himself, the more distant and indifferent one felt about him.

Lin Shanchu suddenly understood why she felt that Huo Xunzhou was acting weird.

It was because Huo Xunzhou was deliberately distancing himself from her.

She thought about it carefully. It seemed that Huo Xunzhou had been deliberately distancing himself from her ever since Huo Chaosheng appeared.

However, she also intentionally kept her distance from Huo Xunzhou, so she did not realize this early on.

Not only that, Huo Chaosheng had been deliberately testing her relationship with Huo Xunzhou since just now.

When Lin Shanchu figured it out, her tone became cold. “I can deal with it myself.”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. “That’s good.”

Huo Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and scanned Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu back and forth.

However, both their expressions were so cold that Huo Chaosheng could not tell anything in the end.

Huo Chaosheng put his hand on Lin Shanchu’s chair and said with a smile, “You can look for me if you need anything. I love helping others the most, especially my beautiful silly sister.”

“Waiter, we’d like to order.” Lin Shanchu did not deign to deal with this pervert.

Huo Chaosheng was not annoyed. Instead, he said with admiration, “My sister has a strong character.”

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

What a lunatic!

During the dinner, Huo Chaosheng never stopped.

He was either helping Lin Shanchu to pick up the food or chatting with others.

At first, he talked to Huo Xunzhou, but Huo Xunzhou ignored him. He then talked to Lin Shanchu, but Lin Shanchu ignored him too. He talked to Nan Mu later.

He did not feel awkward and started chatting with Nan Mu.

He looked like a cheerful and talkative normal person.

While chatting, he did not forget to continue helping Lin Shanchu pick up the food.

Lin Shanchu returned the food to him, but he continued to pick more food for her.

The more Lin Shanchu rejected him, the more excited he became. “Don’t be shy. Eat more.”

Lin Shanchu was very annoyed.

She stared at the bowl in front of her, trying to calm herself down.

She realized that her temper was getting worse.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many people around, she would have poured the food in the bowl on Huo Chaosheng’s head.

Just as Huo Chaosheng was about to place another food that he had picked up into Lin Shanchu’s bowl, a whim struck her. She passed the food to Huo

Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment and looked up at Lin Shanchu.

However, Lin Shanchu did not look at him.

She was smiling at Huo Chaosheng. “You’re the younger brother. Why don’t you give your third brother some food?”

Li MO saw his big brother tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

Not to mention his big brother, he even felt annoyed for Miss Lin.

‘My third brother…” Huo Chaosheng turned around with a grin, but he fell silent when he met Huo Xunzhou’s cold gaze. “Eat your meal properly.”

Huo Xunzhou’s deep voice was as cold as his eyes.

Huo Chaosheng finally calmed down.

The dinner ended in a strange harmony.

When they left the private room, He Xiang carefully pulled Lin Shanchu’s arm.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Shanchu asked her.

He Xiang said awkwardly, “Sister Lin, I… I need to go to the restroom.”

There was also a restroom in the private room, but He Xiang was too embarrassed to go there.

It was her first time in a place like this, and she could not find the restroom for a while.

Lin Shanchu was relieved as she said, “I’ll take you there.” She greeted Qi Cheng and took He Xiang to the restroom.

She greeted Qi Cheng and took He Xiang to the restroom.

She came out of the restroom nd waited for He Xiang outside.

He Xiang probably had an upset stomach because she did not come out after a long time.

Leaning against the wall, Lin Shanchu lowered her head and played on her phone.

By the time she noticed a group of drunkards approaching, someone was going to bump into her.

There were too many people blocking the way. Since she had nowhere to hide, so she could only turn her face away and stretch out her arms to protect herself.

However, to her surprise, that person did not bump into her.

Bang!

Lin Shanchu looked at the drunkard lying on the ground. She then turned around with a blank expression, only to see Huo Xunzhou..
