“President Huo, why are you sitting with such a stern face?” His sudden silence caught Shao Pingxi’s attention.
What scheme was he plotting to torment her now? Bring it on! She wasn’t afraid!
Huo Juren did not answer, simply reaching out to take the wine bottle beside her.
“What? President Huo wants to have a drinking contest with me?” Shao Pingxi raised a charming smile, though heaven knew she could barely smile at all! If not for her proud self-esteem holding her up, she would have been crying out in pain from her extreme stomach discomfort long ago.
“Don’t drink anymore,” he said in a low voice.
“What?” She doubted she had heard correctly, her water-like eyes widening slightly.
“I said, don’t drink anymore.” He swept away all the culprits and accomplices that could make her body uncomfortable – the wine glass, bowls, chopsticks, food – everything beyond her hand’s reach.
“Don’t drink?” As if hearing an alien language, an unbelievable surprise bloomed on Shao Pingxi’s beautiful face. “President Huo, I didn’t mishear, did I?”
The person who had made her eat spicy Korean food and drink strong liquor was precisely him.
Huo Juren did not respond, his handsome face cold and carrying an inexplicable message.
Shao Pingxi looked at him in confusion, doubt overwhelming her entire body.
Why? Why? Why?
No matter how many times she asked, Shao Pingxi could not make sense of it.
Why was she asking why? Hadn’t Huo Juren’s everything become unrelated to her long ago? After he had so coldly abandoned her… Shao Pingxi questioned herself.
Her heart seemed to respond to her questioning, suddenly surging with intense pain.
Why did it still hurt? Her heart, since being thoroughly wounded by him more than a year ago, should no longer be capable of pain…
Only today did she realize – her heart could still hurt, for him.
I’ll translate the text into English, following the specified requirements:
“I dare say, it’s definitely an imported item!”
“I wonder what it would feel like to race with it?”
Huo Junren furrowed his brows, clearly displeased with these inappropriate small-time thugs appearing at this moment.
Pushing open the car door and stepping out with large strides, Huo Junren looked down condescendingly at the thugs, who seemed like insignificant ants.
