Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Don’t Want to Use Her_1

Huo Qilin patted Cheng Bingbing’s shoulder.

"Don’t overthink it." He said with a certain melancholy, "Even if you could help, with Qingtian’s strong and stubborn character, she may not necessarily accept it."

Isn’t he the best example?

He is a member of the Huo family, and as long as Xia Qingtian agrees to let him help, he could easily ask his older brother, Huo Qichen, to step in. This would certainly solve the problem effortlessly.

However, his help was rejected by Xia Qingtian who refused to accept it.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t say a word.

Huo Qilin thought the atmosphere felt weirdly heavy and avoided further discussion, instead he said, "Fine, let’s talk about Qingtian’s situation another time, let’s deal with today’s tasks first."

Having said that, he held onto Cheng Bingbing’s hand and walked towards the sales department.

Cheng Bingbing instinctively looked at their clasped hands, the corners of her mouth lifting up involuntarily into a smile. Without asking anything, she walked along with him.

The two made their way to the sales office.

The sales manager immediately greeted Huo Qilin as he saw him, "Little Chief Huo, hello..."

Huo Qilin let go of Cheng Bingbing, asking, "Has my brother given you any instructions?"

The manager quickly nodded, "Indeed, he said he’s reserved a few houses for you. You can have your pick, and take whichever you like."

Huo Qilin nodded in approval, "Good."

Then, he turned to Cheng Bingbing, "Didn’t you say you hadn’t found a house you liked before? My brother has left some choices, and if you see one you fancy, it’s yours. What do you think?"

When Cheng Bingbing was let go, she felt as though her heart had been hollowed out.

Gazing blankly at her hand, she didn’t notice what Huo Qilin had said.

Huo Qilin helplessly pressed her shoulder and grumbled, "Comrade Cheng Bingbing, is being with me that boring? Why are you daydreaming so much?"

Cheng Bingbing instantly snapped back to reality, her heart racing when she saw his face up close and felt his breath on her face.

She felt wrapped up in Huo Qilin’s presence, close and intimate.

Even her breath faltered, but she was afraid Huo Qilin would misinterpret her. Desperate to clear things up, she rushed to explain, "I, I don’t find you boring, in fact, I...I find being with you quite interesting. Don’t-don’t get me wrong. I-I keep spacing out because it’s my fault, it has nothing to do with you."

By the time she finished, her eyes were almost turning red from the rush.

Seeing her reddened eyes, Huo Qilin couldn’t help but think of a cute little rabbit he had once had as a pet. Its eyes were also red.

His mother had always disapproved of the rabbit because of germs, wanting to get rid of it, but he always disagreed.

A time he fell ill, his mother blamed the rabbit and took advantage of him being treated in the hospital to dispose of his rabbit without consent.

After that, he never had another pet.

Despite the many years that had passed, Huo Qilin never forgot his little rabbit.

"Silly..." Unable to resist his tender feelings, he ruffled Cheng Bingbing’s hair, turning it into a mess, "I was just teasing you. Let’s go."

Having her hair messed made Cheng Bingbing not cross, instead, she fixed her hair and looked incredibly gentle.

Because she kept spacing out, she still had no idea why they came to the sales office.

Only when she saw Huo Qilin following the sales manager in a particular direction, she listlessly followed them.

Soon, they arrived at the destination—several vacant units.

The properties owned by the Huo family have always been associated with being high-end and of high quality. Given that these units have been approved by Huo Qichen, known to be extremely picky, they certainly must be top-grade among top-grades.

Huo Qilin looked around, quite satisfied with the houses. However, he remembered that today’s goal was to help Cheng Bingbing find a house she liked, and her preference was what mattered most.

"What do you think of this house?" he asked, turning his head to look at Cheng Bingbing.

Cheng Bingbing, having drifted off earlier, didn’t hear what he said at the sales office, and thought he was planning to buy himself a house. So, she looked around carefully, offering her thoughts.

The house was a large duplex, decorated simply yet stylishly, and looked very comfortable and beautiful.

The most important thing was, it also had a large balcony, offering a full view of the most beautiful night scene in A City. In front of it was a very large lake. Standing on the balcony, you could feel a natural breeze laced with the scent of water, which was extremely gratifying.

Imagine, at the end of a long and tiring day, standing or lying on the balcony and looking at the view, all the day’s exhaustion could be swept away.

In a corner, there was even a telescope.

She curiously peered into the telescope but couldn’t see anything. She found it odd and asked, "Huh, why can’t I see anything? Is this just a display model?"

As she said that, and was about to put down the telescope, she was interrupted...

"You’re using it the wrong way!" Suddenly, a warm body pressed against her from behind, who then gripped her hands from behind, "Let me show you."

Cheng Bingbing’s body stiffened momentarily.

When she realized that the person hugging her wasn’t a stranger, but Huo Qilin, she gradually relaxed and allowed herself to be enfolded in his tight embrace.

Huo Qilin patiently showed Cheng Bingbing how to use the telescope.

Very quickly, through the telescope, Cheng Bingbing saw the huge expanse of the starry sky.

"Wow, it’s beautiful!" she couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

It was her first time feeling the vastness of the cosmos and her own minuteness. She was so astounded that she even forgot that the man she liked was embracing her.

She gazed into the telescope for the longest time before she reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

The extent to which Cheng Bingbing liked the place was quite evident. Huo Qilin asked again, "So, what do you think of this place?"

"It’s wonderful..." Cheng Bingbing nodded, still caught up in her excitement, her eyes sparkled as she said, "Whoever lives here will surely feel very happy."

"Since you like it so much, why don’t you buy it?" Huo Qilin suggested.

"Huh?" Cheng Bingbing hesitated, unable to react initially.

Huo Qilin explained, "When we went shopping together last time, I was going to buy something for the baby in your stomach but you said you hadn’t bought a house yet, so there’s nowhere to put anything. That’s why I didn’t buy anything."
