Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Patriarch Yun did not really bear to lambaste Huo Xunzhou.

After criticizing Huo Xunzhou a little, he muttered, “I’m so tired and sleepy.”

Then, he got up and went back to his room to sleep, leaving only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou in the room.

She got up to close the door, but Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms the moment she turned around.

Huo Xunzhou hugged her tightly with a satisfied sigh coming from above her.

Lin Shanchu hugged him in return without a word.

The two of them embraced each other quietly for a while before Huo Xunzhou lowered his voice and said, “You didn’t have to speak up for me in front of Grandfather.”

“No.” Lin Shanchu shook her head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, ‘You were accused in the first place.”

“But I’ve been really annoying recently,” Huo Xunzhou replied emotionlessly in a deep voice.

“I don’t hate you. You’re still my favorite, my favorite Huo Xunzhou.” Lin Shanchu said the word “favorite” twice and emphasized it.

Huo Xunzhou chuckled. “Me too.”

This criticism was not in vain.

“By the way, my uncle could see our chat history.”

Lin Shanchu struggled out of his embrace and looked up at him. Huo Xunzhou helped her tidy up her messy hair and pulled her aside to sit down.

“Yun Wu couldn’t see it, so why could he?”

“I don’t know.”

Lin Shanchu could not figure it out either.

After pondering for a while, Huo Xunzhou asked her seriously, “What was your uncle’s original ending?”

Lin Shanchu’s expression changed slightly and her face paled.

“He was killed by Lu Shiyuan.”

Lu Shiyuan…

Lu Shiyuan was also present at the cocktail party.

Did her uncle go to the cocktail party because of Lu Shiyuan?

Lin Shanchu stood up with a swoosh and said, “My uncle came to look for Lu Shiyuan. ”

She had already tried her best to avoid letting Lu Shiyuan meet her uncle.

However, her uncle took the initiative to look for Lu Shiyuan.

Was this also destined?

Her uncle’s original ending was death. Although Lu Shiyuan no longer had the male lead aura, he still had the help of the system.

Lin Shanchu did not even dare to think about the real purpose of her uncle looking for Lu Shiyuan. She only knew that her uncle really went to look for Lu Shiyuan, he would definitely not get any benefits.

When Huo Xunzhou saw that Lin Shanchu’s expression had changed and looked unusually flustered, he comfortingly held her hand. “Don’t worry too much. Let’s go back to the cocktail party to look for him now.” His voice was gentle, calming down Lin Shanchu gradually.

Lin Shanchu turned around and walked out in a panic. Just as she was about to open the door, she remembered that the plot definitely would not allow Huo Xunzhou to stay by her side.

“I have an idea,” Huo Xunzhou whispered, guessing what she was thinking.

After the two of them came out of the room, Lin Shanchu stayed in the living room and called Lin Suguang while waiting for Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou turned around and went upstairs.

Right after Yun Jin came out of the shower, he saw Huo Xunzhou push open the door and walk straight into his walk-in closet.

Yun Jin’s walk-in closet was colorful and was zoned according to the seasons—spring, summer, autumn and winter. The colors of the clothes also matched the weather and mood.

After taking a glance, Huo Xunzhou knew that it was impossible to pick out a set of plain clothes.

Without hesitation, he casually chose a set and put it on.

Yun Jin wiped his hair and walked over slowly.

“I’m the one who provoked you, not my clothes. Don’t lay your hands on my clothes, or else… I’ll fight you to the death.’

Yun Jin was stunned when he saw Huo Xunzhou finish changing his clothes.

“Didn’t you say that my clothes were rags? Why are you stealing my clothes

Huo Xunzhou corrected him. “I’m borrowing your clothes.”

“Hmph!” Yun Jin snorted. “I’ll lend you the clothes if you call me Second Brother. ”

Huo Xunzhou ignored him and straightened his clothes in front of the mirror.

“Go pick up the motorcycle you posted on your Moments tomorrow.” His tone was so calm that Yun Jin thought he had misheard him.

“You still follow my Moments? I thought you blocked me… Hehe.” After Yun Jin finished laughing, he suddenly reacted. “What did you say? New motorbike?

Really? Don’t lie to me, okay?”

“Forget it if you don’t want it.” Huo Xunzhou went to pick a hat after straightening up his clothes.

Yun Jin ran over eagerly to help him choose a hat.

He took a diamond-studded hat and was about to put it on Huo Xunzhou’s head. “Wear this. This is the most expensive. It suits your noble temperament the most. ”

Huo Xunzhou frowned in disgust. He took a hat without any patterns or decorations and put it on himself. Finally, he put on a scarf.

When Yun Jin saw him pulling a scarf and hat to cover his face, he asked, “”Are you dressing up like this to go out and kill someone?”

“I’m leaving.” Huo Xunzhou ignored him and turned to leave.

Yun Jin followed behind Huo Xunzhou curiously and saw him leave with Lin Shanchu in his arms.

He was suddenly enlightened.

This young couple really knew how to have fun.

“My uncle hasn’t been answering my calls.”

Lin Shanchu called Lin Suguang several times, but no one picked up the phone.

“Don’t panic. You can try calling Miss Jiang,” Huo Xunzhou said patiently in a gentle voice.

“Alright.”

Lin Shanchu obediently responded. Then, she found Jiang Weizhu’s number and called her.

Jiang Weizhu quickly picked up the call.

“Shanshan?”

Jiang Weizhu fluently called her by her nickname now. Lin Shanchu asked directly, “Have you seen my uncle?” Almost immediately, Jiang Weizhu replied, “I didn’t see him.” Something was fishy when she denied it too quickly.

Anxious, Lin Shanchu did not want to beat around the bush with her.

“Tell me the truth,” she said coldly.

“When the cocktail party was about to end, your uncle came to me.

Lin Shanchu turned on the speaker. Huo Xunzhou heard Jiang Weizhu’s words and stepped on the accelerator, speeding up.

Jiang Weizhu’s words confirmed their guess.

Lin Suguang must have gone to look for Lu Shiyuan.

“What happened?” Jiang Weizhu asked her. “Where are you guys? I’ll bring someone over now.”

Lin Shanchu asked, “Are you still at the cocktail party?”

Jiang Weizhu replied, “Yeah.”

Only the waiters were left to clean up the mess in the previously bustling banquet hall.

“Shanshan!”

Jiang Weizhu was still wearing her gown. She jogged over while holding up the hem of her gown.

When she looked at Huo Xunzhou next to Lin Shanchu, she called out uncertainly, “Second Young Master Yun?”

Huo Xunzhou’s figure was somewhat similar to Yun Jin’s. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou had pulled down his hat and lowered his head to cover his face tightly. Hence, Jiang Weizhu could only guess that he was Yun Jin.

Other than Yun Jin, she could not think of anyone else who would dress like this.

Huo Xunzhou just nodded at Jiang Weizhu without a word.

Jiang Weizhu felt that Yun Jin was a little reserved tonight, but she was thinking about Lin Suguang and had no time to overthink it.

“What happened to your uncle?”

“Let’s look at the surveillance footage first.”

Jiang Weizhu turned around and led them to the surveillance room. “I received your call earlier, so I got someone to check the surveillance footage..”
