Chapter 428: After Shanshan Knows About This, She Will Feel Even More Sorry For M

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lin Shanchu finished work that night, Huo Xunzhou drove over to pick her up.

The moment she came out, she saw Huo Xunzhou standing in front of the car.

In the cold winter, Huo Xunzhou was wearing a tweed coat and a woolen scarf and standing tall under the light, looking very handsome.

Huo Xunzhou had contacted her in advance before coming over. She knew that Huo Xunzhou was coming to pick her up, so she ran out as soon as the event ended. He Xiang even chased after her to put on her down jacket.

He Xiang was chasing after her to help her zip up her down jacket.

“Sister Lin, the zipper of the down jacket isn’t…”

She saw Lin Shanchu suddenly run in a certain direction and realized that it was Huo Xunzhou.

Now that Huo Xunzhou was here, she did not have to do anything.

Naturally, someone would take care of the zipper on Lin Shanchu’s down jacket.

Just as this thought popped up in He Xiang’s mind, she saw Huo Xunzhou catch Lin Shanchu, who had thrown herself into his arms. Then, he lowered his head and zipped up her down jacket while saying something with an unhappy expression.

They were quite a distance away, so He Xiang could not hear what Huo Xunzhou said. She guessed that he must be reprimanding Lin Shanchu.

It was because Lin Shanchu looked a little indignant.

She had been by Lin Shanchu’s side for a long time and could already see the pattern.

Huo Xunzhou reprimanded Lin Shanchu according to the situation. If Lin Shanchu was in the wrong, she would obediently listen to the scolding and pretend to be obedient to quell Huo Xunzhou’s anger so that he would not be able to continue scolding her.

If Lin Shanchu was not in the wrong, she would be indignant and go against Huo Xunzhou.

Lin Shanchu had to wear a formal dress to attend events. He Xiang was afraid that she would be cold, so she brought a thick and warm down jacket that reached her ankles.

Looking down at Huo Xunzhou, who was squatting in front of her and zipping her jacket, she pouted and retorted, “I’m not cold.”

Huo Xunzhou stood up and zipped her up. He reached behind her head and gently pulled out her hair from her down jacket.

After doing the series of actions, he looked up at her with his beautiful charming eyes and said, “The lowest temperature today is -10 degree Celsius.”

If one’s tone could be measured by temperature, Lin Shanchu felt that his tone earlier was also -10 degree Celsius.

“I know!” Lin Shanchu snorted, still not convinced.

The -10 degree Celsius in Capital City was worlds apart from the-10 degrees Celsius in Xu City. She did not feel that cold at all.

She did not know why Huo Xunzhou was so nervous. He had been in Xu City before.

Huo Xunzhou opened the car door to the passenger seat and shoved her in.

The next second, Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of Number 1357 and said, “Hurry up and come over.”

“Don’t come over,” Huo Xunzhou said as soon as Number 1357 lifted his foot.

Speechless, Number 1357 paused and walked over.

He only listened to his daughter.

After all, she was his biological daughter, and he only had one daughter.

However, there could be many sons-in-law. As long as the daughter was not satisfied, they could be replaced.

“Shanshan, tell him not to come over,” Huo Xunzhou said to Lin Shanchu with a complicated tone after a moment of silence.

Lin Shanchu asked hesitantly, “Is it really okay not to bring him along?”

Huo Xunzhou said firmly, “It’s okay.”

Number 1357 was already behind Huo Xunzhou. As a sweet novel system, shipping a couple was his life’s work. No one could stop him from shipping a couple.

He quietly approached Huo Xunzhou and lowered his voice. “If you don’t let me come with you guys, I’ll tell my daughter that you’re being punished for resisting the plot restrictions.”

Huo Xunzhou turned around and looked at Number 1357 with some confusion. When he understood that who was his daughter, he abruptly smiled.

“Whatever. After Shanshan finds out about this, she will feel more sorry for me.”

“…”

Number 1357 looked at Huo Xunzhou in disbelief. Why would the daughter like such a sinister man?

Leaning against the window, Lin Shanchu poked her head out and asked, “What are you two talking about?”

Huo Xunzhou turned around and said gently, “He said he’s not going.”

Lin Shanchu raised her voice and asked Number 1357, “Really?”

Number 1357 said indignantly, “I’ll drive and follow you.”

Huo Xunzhou had no objections to this reply.

It was fine as long as he did not disturb their private moment in the car.

When Huo Xunzhou got into the car and drove away, Number 1357 followed behind them in a car.

Lin Shanchu looked back and laughed. “Number 1357 is quite stubborn.”

Huo Xunzhou replied, “Just like you.”

He remembered that Number 1357 called Lin Shanchu his daughter behind her back. He wondered if Lin Shanchu knew about this.

When Huo Xunzhou was waiting for Lin Shanchu outside just now, he turned on the heater in the car. After he locked the window, the car was as warm as spring.

Lin Shanchu leaned against the seat as if she was spineless and said lazily, “Why did you have to wait for me outside even though the heater was on in the car?”

Huo Xunzhou asked with a smile, “Didn’t you want to see me as soon as you came out?”

Lin Shanchu heard his words and turned half her body towards him.

“Brother Xunzhou, you’re so full of sweet-talks now.”

“Brother Xunzhou only speaks from his heart.”

The smile in Huo Xunzhou’s voice deepened.

Number 1357, who was in the car behind, could vaguely feel Lin Shanchu’s emotional fluctuations and was extremely anxious.

What did the man do in the car to make his daughter so agitated?

Could it be that they were secretly kissing while waiting for the traffic lights?

Oh gosh! f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

He was actually absent for such a sweet scene!

The more Number 1357 thought about it, the more depressed he became.

…

It was getting late, so Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu to a dress shop to choose a gown for tomorrow’s engagement party.

They could not spare time to go out for dinner, so he ordered a meal in advance.

When it was time for dinner, Lin Shanchu called Number 1357 and He Xiang to dine together.

It was freezing outside, so there was really no need for them to wait outside. He Xiang was her assistant and they were close. As for Number 1357…

He knew all her secrets, so he could be considered a close person.

After dinner, someone came over to guide them to pick out the gowns.

Another staff member walked up to Huo Xunzhou and asked respectfully, “Mr. Huo, do you want to go to the lounge for tea?”

They had seen many men accompanying women to pick out gowns, but most of the men found it troublesome to pick out gowns and would stay in the lounge to drink tea, so they thought Huo Xunzhou was the same.

“No need.” Huo Xunzhou rejected the staff member’s suggestion. Then, he stood up and reached out to Lin Shanchu, holding her hand as they went to choose a gown.

The staff member looked surprised, but then he nodded with a smile and said, “Mr. Huo, feel free to order us if you need anything.”

Huo Xunzhou had arranged everything before he came and even asked them to send him the gown designs. He picked out a few designs that Lin Shanchu might like.

Both He Xiang and Number 1357 were supporters who were biased in favour of Lin Shanchu. No matter which gown Lin Shanchu changed into, both of their eyes would light up and say that it was very beautiful, nice and suitable.

Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked, “How about this one?”

Huo Xunzhou looked her up carefully before he replied, “Mmm, very nice.”

“…”

What was the difference between this answer and the other two? It was just an additional process of sizing her up.
