Chapter 1158: Extra Chapter Twenty-Three

Huo Chengyi was visibly taken aback.

Adults always overcomplicate things, to the point where they can no longer see what’s most essential.

Sometimes, the innocent words of a child reveal the profound truths of life.

"I understand, I’ll give it some serious thought," Huo Chengyi replied to his son.

"Okay, then I’m going to play with Little Susu now. You can chat with this auntie."

As a show of full support for his dad’s romance, Huo Ting made himself scarce, leaving both the time and space to his dad and the person trying to pursue him.

"Pff—" Sheng Wushuang couldn’t help but burst out laughing: "Your son is so cute, nothing like the rumors!"

Sheng Wushuang had heard about Huo Ting’s notorious reputation as the young bully of the Capital City, but after interacting with him, she felt the rumors were quite misleading—the young master was actually reasonable!

After laughing for a while, Sheng Wushuang looked up to find Huo Chengyi staring at her with deep, inscrutable eyes and a serious expression that made it difficult to guess his feelings at that moment.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I had a good talk with your son, I didn’t do anything inappropriate," said Sheng Wushuang.

Then she reminded him, "Now that you can’t use your son as an excuse anymore, what will you use to avoid me?"

"What do you actually like about me," asked Huo Chengyi.

He could think of countless reasons why other women admired him, but Sheng Wushuang was different.

She was neither short of money nor in need of power or status.

Her stunning appearance, graceful figure, exceptional ability, and a business acumen that put men to shame.

"Huo Chengyi, have you been single for so long that you’ve lost insight into yourself?" Sheng Wushuang said with a laugh.

Then she suddenly reached out, her delicate fingers grasping Huo Chengyi’s tie, and pulled it towards her.

"Huo Chengyi, how many times do I have to tell you that I like you? Or, are you expecting some other sort of confirmation?"

Her breath was warm against Huo Chengyi’s neck, the ambiguous words infused with an unmistakably teasing intent.

Sheng Wushuang tiptoed, her hand hooked around his neck, and she leaned in to offer a passionate kiss.

Huo Chengyi stood still, not responding, but he didn’t push her away either.

Sheng Wushuang, the verbal warrior, ended what was called a passionate kiss quickly after just a few pecks.

Just as she was about to pull away and end this cheeky behavior, a hand from behind gripped her and pulled her back in.

Then an even hotter kiss landed, leaving Sheng Wushuang completely stunned.

When the kiss ended, Sheng Wushuang gasped for air for quite a while.

Lin Yushan stood behind a hydrangea bush, staring at the scene in disbelief.

During dinner, He Beimu took advantage of the Qin Family gathering to inform the old master, Qin, and the old mistress about his upcoming long trip and his hope that the Qin Family would find someone to temporarily replace him.

"It’s fine, you go handle your things, we’ll arrange for someone else; you don’t need to worry," the old master, Qin, immediately responded to reassure He Beimu.

They needed a bodyguard, but they knew that He Beimu had to settle his family’s vendetta first.

Then the old master, Qin, turned to Qin Yunzhi and asked, "Third son, you have many under your command; see if you have any reliable martial experts to spare."

"Me!"

"Me!"

Before Qin Yunzhi could answer, Qin Yujiang and Qin Yuhe raised their hands at the same time, volunteering themselves.

"Are you two up for it?" the old master, Qin, questioned his grandsons’ abilities with skepticism.
