Chapter 196

The moment Xiao Wang saw Huo Wu, a warm smile immediately surfaced on his face. “Miss, Mr. Huo is waiting for you in the car!”

Huo Wu was stunned at his words. “My big brother – he is also here?”

Xiao Wang nodded vigorously. “Yes, Mr. Huo has been here all night. Miss, get out of the car.”

Huo Wu and Susan glanced at each other, and Susan exclaimed, “Ah Wu, why are you looking at me? Since Mr. Huo is here, then you should go over first.”

Huo Wu nodded. “Sister Susan, then I’ll treat you to the late-night snack I owe you next time.”

“Sure!”

Huo Wu got out of the nanny car and then boarded Huo Yusen’s exclusive car.

The interior of the car was not lit and appeared somewhat dim.

The only faint light in the car was coming from outside.

But even if Huo Wu couldn’t see, she knew that the one sitting next to her was Huo Yusen.

His presence was too strong to be ignored.

When Huo Wu didn’t see Xiao Wang, she asked in a voice that sounded strange even to her ears, “Big Brother, why isn’t Xiao Wang getting in the car?”

Huo Yusen’s magnetic voice slowly echoed inside the car. “He has to wait outside for a while.”

Huo Wu replied, “Oh.” She wanted to find a more comfortable position to sit in, but just then, she suddenly sensed a warm body approaching in front of her.

Huo Yusen’s unique fresh scent caressed her face.

Following it was an intense invasive breath.

Huo Wu blinked. “Big Brother?”

A chuckle escaped from Huo Yusen. His compliment caught her off guard, but he uttered it so naturally, “You are beautiful tonight.”

Her bright red dress set off her skin as smooth as a gel. The strong contrast between white and red left people a strong visual impact, making her seem overwhelmingly stunning.

Huo Wu’s eyes bent with her smile. “Thank you.”

“I was there to hear your acceptance speech.”

Huo Wu softly ‘hmmed’ in reply.

When she delivered that award speech, she was truly devoted and sincere, but hearing Huo Yusen mention it just now, she was quite embarrassed.

After all, there was a passage in it where she specifically paid an ode to him.

This paragraph was also misinterpreted by some media as her confession.

Huo Yusen slowly placed his hand behind Huo Wu’s neck, looked at her and chuckled. “Speaking of which, I also have you to thank.”

His laughter ended on a raised note, somewhat low and somewhat exhilarating.

Hearing this, Huo Wu cried out in astonishment and then stammered, “Big Brother, y-you want to thank me too?”

At that moment, Huo Yusen approached her a little closer. At this time, his fresh breath became more and more pronounced.

This kind of scent was pervasive.

It instantly enveloped Huo Wu’s entire body.

Huo Yusen spoke with a smile, “Yes.”

The cramped interior space of the car at the moment simulated the same dark environment of the elevator yesterday.

Only a glimmer of light penetrated from outside.

But tonight was still a little different from last night.

Last night, there were several other passengers in the elevator besides the two of them.

But now, there were only two of them in the car.

Only him and her.

Huo Wu raised her eyes, trying to make out Huo Yusen’s eyes in the dark.

Deep, focused, serious.

Huo Wu almost forgot how to breathe.

Her eyes were wide open as she looked back at this incomparably charming pair of peach blossom eyes.

Deep in his eyes, stars seemed to glitter, mesmerizing her.

After a while, Huo Wu reacted and asked nonchalantly, “Big Brother, what do you want to thank me for?”

Huo Yusen let out a terse laugh.

He stuck his mouth to Huo Wu’s ear and said word for word, “I want to thank you for appearing in my life.”

“Thank you for getting close to my heart.”

“Thank you for filling my life.”

At first, Huo Wu felt quite moved.

He said he was grateful that she appeared in his life.

But gradually, she felt that something was not quite right.

His last two sentences bore some kind of ambiguity.

What did he mean, she got close to his heart?

What did he mean, she filled his life?

The last two sentences – did they mean what she thought they meant?

When that possibility popped up in Huo Wu’s mind, the temperature of her face slowly heated up, and her heartbeat increasingly accelerated.

“Ah Wu, you…”

Huo Yusen wanted to say something else, but at this time, the car window was knocked on a few times, and the person outside yelled vigorously, “Hey, hey, is anyone in there? Quickly drive the car away. You are blocking the road, and the other cars cannot pass!”

As soon as the person’s complaint fell, Xiao Wang got into the driver’s seat and said in embarrassment, “Mr. Huo, there’s a traffic jam outside… I…”

Huo Yusen slowly backed away from Huo Wu. He pinched his eyebrows with his hands and said in a tone, betraying no joy or anger, “Let’s drive.”

Xiao Wang looked straight ahead. “Yes! Mr. Huo!”

It wasn’t until Huo Yusen’s breath drifted away that Huo Wu’s heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

What did he want to say just now?

Unfortunately, it was interrupted by the person outside the car.

Huo Wu calmed herself down for a moment before saying, “Big Brother, please drop me off at my school. I’m staying at school.”

Huo Yusen looked down at her and gave a muffled grunt. “Okay, wait for me to take you home.”
