Lin Shanchu’s smile deepened.

“We’re a family. What’s there to lose?”

Yun Jin was very touched as he said, “You’re really my biological sister.

Zhouzhou should learn how to be a younger brother.” “Learn to be a younger brother?”

A low and magnetic male voice suddenly came from the door.

Everyone turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou walking in through the door.

Huo Xunzhou was wearing a black woolen coat with a neat suit underneath while walking in the night wind, looking even colder.

Yun Jin swallowed and forced himself to maintain his composure. “Zhouzhou, what brings you here?”

However, he was already honestly hiding behind Lin Shanchu.

While hiding, he whispered to Lin Shanchu for help, “Sister, help me.”

Holding back her laughter, Lin Shanchu met Huo Xunzhou’s cold gaze and asked, “What brings you here?”

Huo Xunzhou’s gaze softened almost immediately.

The considerate assistant, He Xiang, had the habit of preparing a set of clothes and flats for Lin Shanchu in the car.

Lin Shanchu had just attended the brand event and put on the flats that He Xiang had prepared after getting into the car. Standing in front of Huo Xunzhou, the height difference between the two of them became obvious.

She had to look up to see Huo Xunzhou’s face.

Huo Xunzhou bent down slightly to match her height, not letting her look up at him so strenuously.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to our house for dinner?” There was a subtle hint of complaint in his tone.

“You’re busy with work.” Lin Shanchu chose to conceal the fact that she had sought Yun Jin’s help.

Huo Xunzhou raise his eyebrows as he replied, “No matter how busy I am, I still have time for a meal.”

“I’ll definitely call you next time,” Lin Shanchu said coquettishly as she pulled his hand.

Huo Xunzhou’s gaze softened instantly.

Yun Jin suddenly leaned over and raised his wrist to show off his wristwatch to Huo Xunzhou. “Zhouzhou, do you think my new wristwatch looks good?” Lin Shanchu felt her blood run cold when she heard Yun Jin’s words.

Huo Xunzhou was such a petty person. If he knew that she was the one who gave him the wristwatch, he might get angry at her.

Huo Xunzhou replied, “Ugly.”

Yun Jin knew that Huo Xunzhou would say that.

“Tch.” He clicked his tongue and pretended to be puzzled. “It’s ugly? I think it looks good! You don’t agree with your wife’s aesthetic standards that much?”

Lin Shanchu was speechless. She only asked a small favor from Yun Jin, but Yun Jin wanted her dead.

Huo Xunzhou immediately grasped the key information in Yun Jin’s words.

Wife?

He turned to look at Lin Shanchu. His voice was the same as usual, but his tone was a little cold.

“Did you give him the wristwatch?”

“I was negotiating a new endorsement for the past two days. The brand owner asked me to pick a wristwatch and send it to me…”

Lin Shanchu tried to explain herself, but under Huo Xunzhou’s increasingly cold gaze, her voice became softer and softer until she finally stopped talking.

Huo Xunzhou said unhappily, “So, you gifted Yun Jin the only wristwatch that the brand owner gave you.”

“The brand’s series isn’t suitable for you, so I gave it to Second… Yun Jin.” Under Huo Xunzhou’s watchful gaze, Lin Shanchu forcefully rephrased the word “Second Brother” to Yun Jin.

Yun Jin was confused.

She kept calling him “Second Brother” earlier, but why did she wimped out when Huo Xunzhou was here now?

Pretending not to see Yun Jin’s gaze, Lin Shanchu held Huo Xunzhou’s hand and whispered to him, “Actually, I bought you the most expensive wristwatch of this brand.’

Huo Xunzhou looked down at her and his expression softened slightly.

Noticing his expression, Lin Shanchu thought that he was about to be pacified.

Hence, she continued to coax him.

“I think that wristwatch is very suitable for you. Yun Jin’s watch is a free gift, whereas I spent a lot of money to buy yours. I’m only willing to spend so much money on you…”

Although these words sounded suspicious, Lin Shanchu was speaking the truth.

Huo Xunzhou was different from the others.

She was willing to spend money for him.

She had her eyes on that wristwatch before. She thought of going to the offline store in a few days to take a look at the actual item before deciding whether to buy it or not.

Huo Xunzhou’s gaze softened, but his smile did not reach his eyes, making him look very relaxed.

“Where’s the wristwatch?”

Lin Shanchu was stumped by the question. However, she quickly came up with an idea. “I had to pre-order it. It’s out of stock recently. I’ll receive it in two days. ”

Huo Xunzhou asked, “Two days?”

“I’m not too sure…” Lin Shanchu blinked as she said, “Maybe two days at most.” Huo Xunzhou patted her head and replied, “I’ll wait for the gift in two days then. ”

Lin Shanchu nodded. “Alright.”

“It’s getting late. I’ll take you home,” Huo Xunzhou said as he looked at the time.

When Yun Jin heard that they were going home, he leaned over and said, “It’s not even 9:00 p.m. yet. Why are you going home? Sister, come with me. I’ll take you out to have fun!”

Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes at Yun Jin as he asked, “Whom are you calling Sister?”

“Your wife,” Yun Jin replied as his heart skipped a beat under his gaze.

The words “your wife” were too pleasant to the ear, so Huo Xunzhou treated him slightly better. “Call her Shanshan.”

Yun Jin called out obediently, “Shanshan.”

Lin Shanchu took Huo Xunzhou’s hand and blinked innocently.

Then, Huo Xunzhou led Lin Shanchu out.

Lin Shanchu turned around and waved ers phone at Yun Jin, indicating for him to contact her.

Yun Jin made an “OK” gesture.

Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu to her apartment and leaned over to help her unbuckle the seatbelt.

Lin Shanchu was already used to Huo Xunzhou’s thoughtfulness. She obediently raised her hand so that he could unbuckle the seatbelt.

Number 1357, who was sitting in the rear seat, smiled like an old father when he saw this scene.

“Huo Xunzhou, do you want to come up for a bit before leaving?”

Upon hearing Number 1357’s voice, both Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu turned to look at him.

A hint of doubt flashed across Huo Xunzhou’s expression.

Lin Shanchu’s face was sullen and helpless.

As expected of the sweet novel system. It loved sweet things and sweet dramas. It even wanted to create opportunities for her and Huo Xunzhou.

If it had done its job well, perhaps the sweet novel would not have turned into an angst novel.

Lin Shanchu looked away and turned to Huo Xunzhou. “Come up for a bit.” Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment and nodded.

After going upstairs, Number 1357 went back to his room. He even called He Xiang away, leaving the room for Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu.

“How’s your uncle?” Huo Xunzhou asked Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu thought about it and said, “He’s fine.”

She looked calm on the surface, but she was conflicted on whether she should tell Huo Xunzhou about Number 1357.

If she told Huo Xunzhou, what should she say to make it easier for him to accept this fact?

Huo Xunzhou seemed to have read her mind.. Then, he leaned forward slightly and looked into her eyes before he asked, “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”
