Chapter 1841: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (45)

After Huo Heng came over, Qiu Zhi made a lot of delicious food.

The family ate in the hall.

When Huo Heng saw Xia Cha, he did not say anything to her. Even his gaze rarely fell on her.

Xia Cha naturally noticed his change.

From the looks of it, her words earlier had indeed angered him.

Since she had already made him angry, why had he still come to her house?

Soon, Xia Cha knew why he had come to her house. He planned to invest in Wenfen County. There were many fruit trees there that were suitable for the environment here. He asked Xia Zhenyuan go over and see what he needed. He could arrange for them to be sent over.

The business at the farm was getting better and better. The demand for fruits was also huge. If there were different types of fruit trees, it would attract more customers.

Xia Zhenyuan naturally needed it. “Young Master Huo, you’re too considerate.”

Xia Zhenyuan was in a good mood. He took out the good wine at home and drank one glass after another with Huo Heng.

Xia Cha realized that Huo Heng was not like the rumors she had heard in the past. Rumor had it that he was frivolous, mediocre, and arrogant.At the dining table, he proposed some suggestions for improvements in the villa to Xia Zhenyuan. They were all very meaningful and practical.

He did not look like someone who only had a superficial appearance.

When they were eating and drinking, it was slow and elegant. It felt like they were having a high-end meal when dining with him.

When men drank, it would not end so quickly. After the Xia sisters finished eating, they went to the courtyard to enjoy the night breeze.

Xia Cha and Xia Xing sat on the swing while Xia Lan pushed them from behind.

“Did you guys notice? Young Master Huo isn’t as bad as the rumors say. His speech and temperament are pretty good,” Xia Lan said.

Xia Xing nodded. “In the past, we heard rumors and were prejudiced against him. After interacting with him, we realized that we had misunderstood him.”

Xia Cha looked at the stars in the sky and did not speak.

Xia Xing nudged Xia Cha with her elbow. “Cha Cha, why aren’t you saying anything? You’re Young Master Huo’s fiancée!”

“I don’t want to be his fiancée. No matter how good he is, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Cha Cha, are you really not moved by such a beautiful face?” Xia Xing looked at Xia Cha in confusion.Xia Cha retracted her gaze from the night sky and looked at Xia Xing, “Why should I be tempted? I don’t like him like that. Second Sister, do you like him?”

“What, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t like him!” Xia Xing lowered her eyes and her ears turned red. Luckily, there was no light in the courtyard and the dim light hid her embarrassment.

…

Qiu Zhi went to the courtyard and called Xia Cha into the house.

Xia Cha glanced at Xia Zhenyuan, who was still drinking, but was obviously drunk, and Huo Heng, whose handsome face had a hint of intoxication. She could not tell if he was drunk or not. “Mom, why are you looking for me?”

“Your dad drank a lot with Young Master Huo. He won’t be able to drive home tonight. Go and make your bed so that Young Master Huo can sleep. You can sleep with your elder sister or second sister tonight.”

“Mom…”

“Hurry.”

Xia Cha took a set of clean bedsheets from Qiu Zhi’s room and changed them swiftly.

She took her bag and was about to leave when she realized that the man, who was still in a drunken stupor, had unknowingly leaned against the door.

One of his long legs was slightly bent against the wall, his deep eyes looking at her deeply.Xia Cha’s scalp went numb from his stare.

She quickly lowered her head and hugged her bag, preparing to leave.

When she passed by him, she heard him chuckle softly. Then, he said, “Tang Tang, you are mine. You will always be mine.”

Xia Cha rushed into Xia Lan’s room.

She closed the door and leaned against it.

Her heart was beating faster than she could control.

She didn’t understand why her heart was beating so fast…

However, he seemed to have called Tangtang just now…

Could it be that he made her his fiancée because she looked like Tangtang?

…

After her heart rate returned to normal, Xia Cha put down her bag, took out a change of clothes from inside, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.After showering, when she passed her room, she heard the man calling for Tangtang again.

Again and again.

Xia Cha’s heart felt like it had been gently poked by something.

She walked toward the room.

The first three buttons of the man’s shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his exquisite collarbones and his firm chest.

He was half lying on her bed, with a pillow behind his back and a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes were closed and she couldn’t tell if he was asleep or not.

His long legs were propped on the ground and it looked like he had nowhere to put them.

Xia Cha saw that the cigarette ash from the cigarette in his mouth was about to fall onto the blanket. She quickly took a paper box to catch it.

After catching the cigarette ash, she put down the box and realized that something was wrong. She looked up and realized that the man had opened his eyes at some point.

Those long and narrow amorous eyes were covered with faint traces of red blood.

He just looked at her without saying anything.Xia Cha saw the cigarette in his mouth and was worried that he would set her room on fire. She stepped forward and removed the cigarette from his mouth.

“I don’t want my room burned to ashes.”

The man narrowed his eyes and scanned her from head to toe. In the end, his gaze landed on her small oval face. “Tangtang, my throat is dry. Get me a glass of water.”

Xia Cha frowned, “Young Master Huo, I’m Xia Cha.”

The man smiled evilly. “I know. You are my Tangtang.”

This man must be crazy!

“Go on, get me a glass of water.”

He closed his eyes again.

Xia Cha turned around with a straight face and poured a glass of water.

When she brought it to his side, she angrily wondered why she had to listen to his instructions.

“The water is here.”

The man didn’t move.

Xia Cha lowered her eyes and looked at him. He seemed different from usual when he was drunk.

A few strands of slightly messy hair fell on his forehead. His long and narrow eyes were lowered, making his eyelashes look long and dense. His nose bridge was straight, his scarlet lips were well-defined, and his jawline was thin and firm… He was indeed like a handsome man from a comic book. From his facial features to his outline, one could not find any flaws.

At this moment, he had a faint tiredness, laziness, dejection, but also an indescribable feeling of satisfaction.

Perhaps hearing her voice, he lifted his eyes and looked at her. His thin lips moved and his voice that came from the depths of his throat sounded in the quiet space. “Feed me.”

Xia Cha glared at him angrily, “Young Master Huo, don’t push your luck.”

Xia Cha put down the cup and prepared to leave. However, the next second, her slender wrist was firmly held by the man’s long and strong hand.
