Chapter 422 - 422 : Think Carefully Before You Answer

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Xunzhou crossed his legs and leaned against the back of the sofa, lazily looking at Lin Shanchu.

There was no anger on his face.

He did not say a word.

However, Lin Shanchu could feel that the room was filled with an air of inquisition.

It was not difficult for her to choose whether to confess voluntarily or passively.

Lin Shanchu blinked and explained in a small voice, “I didn’t mean to not contact you about the matter with Cheng Fanjing, but I just didn’t think of you at that time…”

“You didn’t think of me?” Huo Xunzhou repeated the words without even blinking.

Lin Shanchu was dumbstruck.

Although she only thought of Yun Jin at first, she quickly remembered that Huo Xunzhou could also do it.

After all, Huo Xunzhou used to be a hacker.

In the end, she decided to ask Yun Jin for help because she thought that this matter involved illegal operations and the impact on Huo Xunzhou would be quite big if it was exposed.

Huo Xunzhou knew that his guess was correct as soon as he saw her expression.

“Tell me the truth.” He reached out and pinched Lin Shanchu’s face in revenge.

Lin Shanchu felt a little pain from the pinch, but she did not dare to make a scene. She could not hide anything from him anyway, so she might as well tell him the truth.

“I was worried that it would have a bad impact on you if something went wrong and someone accidentally exposed it later.”

Huo Xunzhou’s heart almost melted when he heard her aggrieved words.

He let go of her hand and touched her face. “What’s the point of overthinking it? So what if someone found out? Would I be afraid of them?”

Lin Shanchu shook her head silently.

“What I fear is that you won’t tell me and suffer alone if something goes wrong, and I’ll be the last one to know when something bad happens.”

She was used to fighting alone. When something happened, she would subconsciously take action herself instead of asking him for help.

Huo Xunzhou understood Lin Shanchu’s personality, so he was not particularly angry when he heard about this incident from Yun Jin. Instead, he expected this would happen.

He thought that since she always said that he was petty, he would be petty and not contact her for the next two days while waiting for her to take the initiative to contact him.

Now that he heard her words, his heart softened even more.

He cupped her face and kissed her. “Lin Shanchu, you better remember this. No matter what happens, I hope you can tell me immediately.”

“Alright.” Lin Shanchu blinked and stared intently at him as she replied, “That’s what I think too.”

Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lin Shanchu snorted. “Are you feeling guilty?”

Huo Xunzhou’s eyes flickered as he asked, “Why would I feel guilty?”

Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and said, “He can drive us there.”

Huo Xunzhou wanted to say something but Lin Shanchu interrupted her, “Let’s go. It’s getting late, or else we won’t be able to finish the full checkup in time.”

On the way to the hospital, Huo Xunzhou would keep an eye on Number 1357 as long as Lin Shanchu did not talk to him, as if Number 1357 wanted to snatch his wife away from him.

Lin Shanchu could only keep talking to Huo Xunzhou.

When they finally reached the hospital, Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief.

By the time the results were out, the sky was already dark.

Lin Shanchu was still flipping through Huo Xunzhou’s report when she got into the car.

Huo Xunzhou asked her helplessly, “You still don’t believe the doctor?”

When the report came out, the doctor said that Huo Xunzhou was healthy and there was nothing wrong with him.

At that time, Lin Shanchu asked, “Is there really no problem?”

Fortunately, private hospitals were expensive and the doctors were very patient.

The doctor patiently explained to Lin Shanchu the various tests.

Lin Shanchu believed the doctor’s words at that time.

However, she felt that something was wrong when she left the hospital.

There was nothing wrong with the results of the examination. She trusted the doctor’s professionalism.

Then, the problem lay with Huo Xunzhou.

Lin Shanchu looked intently at Huo Xunzhou.

What was the secret that he had to keep it under wraps?

Huo Xunzhou calmly allowed her to size him up.

After a while, Lin Shanchu put down the report and said, “I believe the doctor.”

She believed the doctor, but not Huo Xunzhou.

“Let’s go have dinner. What do you want to eat later?” Huo Xunzhou smiled.

“Anything is fine.” Lin Shanchu had something on her mind, so her appetite was average and any food was fine.

Lin Shanchu acquiesced to Number 1357 following them, so Huo Xunzhou did not say anything else.

However, when they arrived at the restaurant, Huo Xunzhou booked a table for Number 1357 alone and threw the menu to him. “Order whatever you want to eat. If you have any questions, ask the waiter. Don’t come to us.”

Number 1357 kept quiet.

Huo Xunzhou asked, “Do you understand?”

Number 1357 nodded and replied, “Are you going to pay the bill?”
