Chapter 738: Chapter 738: She Admits She Misses Him
What does he mean he doesn’t want to do anything with her???
Xiao Bailu, who hadn’t drowned in the bathtub, felt like she was going to die from frustration at his infuriating words.
This damn man, damn man, he’s really infuriating.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her wet and chilly robe, and retorted defiantly, "I think this might not be my problem. Maybe it’s you, President Huo, who has some issues in certain areas."
Huo Tingzun’s face turned even darker, "Say that again?"
Xiao Bailu, calm and collected, replied, "A woman is dressed like this, and you say you have no reaction. Doesn’t that just prove you’re not a man? Or maybe an incapable man? It’s really a bit pitiful... Oh! What are you doing..."
Xiao Bailu was just about to calmly and unhurriedly throw insults at Huo Tingzun, this damn man, without using curse words.
Who knew.
The man suddenly, without warning, grabbed her by the nape and chin, and kissed her fiercely!
The world seemed to come to a standstill.
The clock stopped ticking.
The air stopped flowing.
Her brain went offline, and she couldn’t breathe...
Such familiar, intimate breath. His kiss was just like it had been years ago, hurried, forceful, and aggressive.
In that instant, Xiao Bailu felt as if she was transported back to three years ago.
He was still the man who cherished her above all, who would pluck the stars for her and not mistakenly the moon, who would immediately transform into a great roc to let her fly into the sky.
Before she knew it, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
She admitted it, how much she missed the Huo Tingzun from three years ago, who adored her beyond words.
Not this damn man now, who had a child with another woman and was about to marry.
A tear slid down her fragrant cheek, landing at the edge of the man’s lips.
The man paused for a moment.
His tongue tasted the tear on her cheek.
Salty, bitter, cool.
He seemed to suddenly awaken, pushed her away, turned his back on her, and adjusted his slightly disheveled suit.
He had just kissed her.
What spell had he fallen under, that he would suddenly kiss her?
Even though this dim-witted woman said those infuriating words, he could have clearly ignored them and let them slide.
Why did his body in that instant act on its own, doing the spontaneous act of leaning in to kiss her?
Huo Tingzun felt out of control of himself.
He took a deep breath, said nothing, and turned to walk out of the bathroom.
Even as Xiao Bailu hurled a towel, a bar of soap, and shower gel at his back, causing him intermittent pain, he didn’t utter a sound.
He really needed to seriously reflect on himself.
How despite agreeing to share a presidential suite with this dim-witted woman, had things spiraled out of control tonight, bringing him to her bathroom, rescuing her in person, and out of anger, kissing her?
Clearly, he could have sent her to sleep in the corridor.
Clearly, he had four other bathrooms he could use.
Clearly, he didn’t have to rescue her; he could have called hotel staff to handle it.
Clearly... he shouldn’t have kissed her; he was about to get married, after all.
Huo Tingzun pinched the bridge of his nose, his whole being emanating an indescribable sense of irritation.
==
Since that unexpected midnight incident where Huo Tingzun barged into the bathroom and inexplicably kissed her, Xiao Bailu has been ignoring the man.
Breakfast was delivered by the hotel kitchen.
Both of them ate in their own rooms.
In the morning, Huo Tingzun was on the phone discussing business, so Xiao Bailu stayed in her room counting the sheep on the ceiling.
Lunch was again delivered by the hotel.
By the time dinner rolled around,
With the third quick meal delivered by the hotel, Huo Tingzun finally couldn’t take it anymore and knocked on her door, "Come out for a moment."
