Chapter 278: 280 Sister-in-law (1)_1
The depth of his eyes was too profound, like a deep, ancient pond, ever ready to swallow her whole!
Che Huan snapped back to reality, quickly averting her gaze, "I’m sure many people have told Mr. Huo that he’s very handsome, haven’t they?"
Huo Jinnan elegantly took a drag of his cigarette, "You’re the first."
"..." Che Huan looked at Huo Jinnan. Had she? She definitely hadn’t said it!
Reflecting on her words just now, it seemed she indeed meant that. She bit her lower lip and remained silent.
As they approached Hanyu Hotel, Huo Jinnan slowed down, parked the car, and walked over to the passenger side.
Just as Che Huan was unbuckling her seatbelt, she saw that he had already opened the car door. She slowly got out of the car and stood silently to one side.
Huo Jinnan glanced at her hand.
Che Huan seemed to understand what he meant, and her fingers involuntarily curled up!
"Take my arm," Huo Jinnan said as he looked at Che Huan, his voice imbued with a magnetic charm.
Che Huan instinctively reached out, just about to take his arm, but then she thought of the scene her uncle might see, and slowly took her hand back behind her.
Huo Jinnan placed his palm on her shoulder, pulled her entire body towards him, and suddenly bent down to kiss her.
Che Huan stood there, forgetting to react. Looking up at him, she met his serious gaze and suddenly felt dizzy to an extreme degree.
Had he gone mad?
Could it be he actually wanted to marry a woman who’d been married before? The ex-wife of his own nephew?
Even if some records had been thoroughly erased, they both knew the truth! After all, certain things had truly happened!
Her breath was being stolen little by little until Che Huan felt like she couldn’t breathe. Only then did Huo Jinnan move away, looking down at her and forcefully placing her hand onto his arm, sweeping his intense gaze over her cheeks.
Che Huan averted her gaze and bit her lip. Although the fabric of his suit was cool to the touch, her palm still felt as if it had been scorched.
Huo Jinnan walked into the hotel with Che Huan arm in arm.
Che Huan looked down at his gleaming shoes and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, "Why?"
Huo Jinnan glanced at Che Huan and said, "Once tasted, always wanted."
Che Huan understood his meaning and thought back to that night five years ago, to that transformed "nightmare." A flush quickly spread across her face, and even the tips of her ears turned quietly red, "I used to think you weren’t a bad person..."
"I never said I was a good one," Huo Jinnan replied, looking towards the reception to announce the reserved private room.
Seeing Qin Shaojin there as well, he was a bit surprised, "You came out yourself?"
Qin Shaojin’s gaze fell on the affectionately posed pair, not a trace of surprise showing. Huo brother’s flirtations were never apparent, yet always so classy!
Che Huan’s face turned red, and she forcefully withdrew her hand, silently sitting down next to Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan glanced at Qin Shaojin.
Qin Shaojin looked to Du Bin beside him, "Huo Brother, this is Du Bin."
Du Bin looked at Huo Jinnan, stood up, and greeted, "Huo Brother, sister-in-law."
Huo Jinnan sat there, took another drag of his cigarette, and looked in Che Huan’s direction.
Upon hearing the word "sister-in-law," Che Huan’s ears began to burn. Responding seemed wrong, but so did saying nothing. She looked up and gave Du Bin a smile.
Huo Jinnan shifted his gaze, focusing on Du Bin as the three of them began discussing the car accident case.
Che Huan listened from the side, unable to get a word in.
...
After discussing the case and having a late-night snack, they returned to the hotel at eleven o’clock at night.
As the car stopped at the hotel entrance, Che Huan got out and saw Che Zhiqiang and Old Lady Che standing to the side.
