Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Chapter 349: Going Out on a Date Openly

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Cheng Fanjing was born in the scheming Cheng family, so she was not completely brainless.

She looked a little awkward as she could tell the implict meaning behind Yun Hongru’s words.

However, Yun Hongru was an elder. In addition, he did not say it directly, so she could only pretend that she did not understand anything.

“Grandpa Yun, you are right,” she agreed.

After saying that, she turned to look out the window. “It’s getting late. I should go back. Grandpa Yun, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Get home safe.” Yun Hongru was sitting on a chair, smiling and looking kind.

After leaving the reception room, Cheng Fanjing could no longer maintain the calm expression on her face.

Although Yun Hongru had already retired from the company and handed over all the power in his hands, he had been in the business world for many years and was still a prestigious existence.

The juniors of the various aristocratic families were somewhat wary of Yun Hongru and could not easily offend him.

Cheng Fanjing could only put the blame on Huo Xunzhou.

It was all the fault of that cripple, Huo Xunzhou. He was lost at such a young age. Why did he come back after so many years? Why didn’t he just die out there?

Grandma Yun took the servants to clean up the bedroom for Lin Shanchu.

The bedroom was spacious and had a good orientation.

Grandma Yun instructed the servants to clean up the room while reminding Lin Shanchu, “If you don’t feel comfortable living here or lack anything, you have to tell me…

“Okay, thank you, Grandma.”

As Lin Shanchu spoke, she looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou by the door. Grandma Yun noticed her gaze and looked over. “Xunzhou, you are here.”

Huo Xunzhou smiled but did not say anything. He just stood there quietly.

After a while, when the room was almost ready, Grandma Yun found an excuse to leave, leaving the room for Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou.

There was no one else in the room, so Huo Xunzhou dropped the pretense. He stood up straight and closed the door.

“Why did you close the door?”

Lin Shanchu was sitting on the armchair with her legs crossed. She leaned forward with her elbows on her knees and looked at him.

She deliberately dragged her flirtatious voice, tugging at his heartstrings.

Huo Xunzhou walked over slowly and placed his hands on the armrests on both sides of the sofa, encircling her in front of him. He looked down at her and pressed his body down bit by bit, constantly closing the distance between them.

It was until he could feel Lin Shanchu’s slightly tense breathing. “Don’t look at me with such anticipation. I’m here to talk business with you.”

The joy in his voice was too obvious, making him look particularly unrestrained.

Lin Shanchu’s expression froze as she shouted, “I’m not anticipating it! ”

Seeing the smile in his charming eyes deepen, Lin Shanchu was a little angry. “I did anticipate it, so what?”

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that he wanted to kiss her when he leaned over.

Her boyfriend wanted to kiss her, so what if she anticipated it?

The more Lin Shanchu thought about it, the more she felt that she was in the right. “You’re the one who’s indecent, and you’re blaming me…Mmph…” Before she could finish speaking, the kiss landed on her lips.

Lin Shanchu closed her eyes lightly, lookin satisfied.

She knew it.

He just wanted to kiss her.

The next second, the kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Huo Xunzhou stood up in frustration. “It’s Grandfather.”

If someone knocked on the door, he could pretend that he was not there or that he did not hear it.

“You can tell that it’s Grandpa just by hearing the knock on the door?” Lin Shanchu looked at him with admiration.

“You have no conscience.” Huo Xunzhou reached out and pinched her face as if he was venting his anger. She looked like she had completely pulled herself out of the kiss.

Lin Shanchu frowned and pushed his hand away. “I’ll open the door.” She opened the door and saw Yun Hongru standing outside.

“I heard that Xunzhou is here with you?” Yun Hongru spoke as he looked inside.

Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou, who had already returned to his wheelchair. “Grandpa is looking for you.”

Yun Hongru walked in and handed Huo Xunzhou the invitation card sent by Cheng Fanjing.

“The Cheng family sent an invitation. Do you want to go?”

After Huo Xunzhou finished reading the invitation card, he glanced at Lin Shanchu for some reason. Then, he asked Yun Hongru, “Has Patriarch Cheng recovered?”

“Speaking of which, it’s a superstition. After his daughter was found, his illness really got better day by day.”

Yun Hongru raised his eyebrows and sighed. “It’s really hard to explain superstitions. ”

Yun Hongru suddenly realized that he was like an extra in this room. Hence, he stood up straight with the help of his walking stick and said, “I still have something to do, so I’ll leave now. You guys can continue chatting.”

A young couple was dating in a room with the door closed. An old man like him did not want to stay here and become a third wheel.

Yun Hongru did not even need to use his walking stick. He picked up his walking stick and left quickly.

Lin Shanchu watched him leave and muttered, “Grandpa is really in good health.’

Huo Xunzhou laughed and handed the invitation card to Lin Shanchu. “Do you want to go?”

Lin Shanchu took it curiously.

She flipped the invitation card over and over again and her eyes widened. “Is this invitation card gold-plated?” Was this the so-called high society?

It was so extravagant.

This kind of invitation card, which was ordered in bulk but used only once, turned out to be gold-plated.

Huo Xunzhou laughed and replied seriously, “Yes.”

He asked her to look at the contents of the invitation card, but she first paid attention to its material.

“The rich people in Capital City are too extravagant,” Lin Shanchu said as she sat down beside Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou smiled at her and said, “If you like it, we can have gold-plated invitation cards for our wedding. Alternatively, we can have diamond-plated invitation cards.”

He sounded like he was joking, but he said it seriously.

“You want to marry me so badly?” In Lin Shanchu’s memory, it was not the first time Huo Xunzhou had mentioned marriage.

Huo Xunzhou’s gaze deepened.

Just as Lin Shanchu thought he was going to say something, he changed the topic.

“Are you going?” he asked Lin Shanchu again if she wanted to attend the birthday banquet of Patriarch Cheng.

“Yes.” Lin Shanchu’s eyes were filled with excitement. “I can meet an old friend.”

He wondered how Tang Qidai was doing after she was brought back to the Cheng family.

She wondered if Lu Shiyuan had contacted Tang Qidai.

No, she should be called Cheng Qidai now.

Huo Xunzhou held her hand slowly and said, “Let’s go together.”

“Hmm?” They were going together? Was it appropriate?

Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers that were tightly intertwined with hers. His tone was unusually gentle.

“Shanshan, do you want to hold my hand and go out on a date openly?”

This question was a little sudden.

Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously.

In her opinion, there was not much difference between an open date and a secret date.

In fact, she still found it quite exciting after having secret dates for a long time.

Huo Xunzhou knew Lin Shanchu very well. He knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

Before Lin Shanchu could say something he did not want to hear, he said, “I do..”
