Huo Junren closed his eyes, speaking in an almost self-muttering tone: “Shao Pingxi, do I not understand you enough, or…”
Had his understanding of her deviated and become incorrect?
Taking advantage of the dessert shop still being open, Shao Pingxi went there after work.
Unexpectedly, she had just sat down when she heard a shocking message from the owner.
“What?” Shao Pingxi doubted she had heard correctly. “Boss, are you saying someone suddenly invested a fortune to buy this dessert shop? And this new owner is…”
Huo Junren?
“Exactly!” The owner laughed happily, his face full of joy like after a rain.
“After Mr. Huo bought this place and became the new owner, he even called me, saying collecting rent was too troublesome, and told me to give him a VIP status of half price for desserts in the future, which could count as the monthly rent! I was stunned for a minute after hearing this!”
“Huo Junren… really… said that?” Shao Pingxi couldn’t believe the person who called the owner was Huo Junren himself.
Why would he know the dessert shop was facing a business crisis? Even more puzzling was why Huo Junren would help the owner?
This had nothing to do with him, right? He could have completely ignored it!
“Of course!” The owner couldn’t stop smiling. “In my fifty-one years, Mr. Huo is the kindest-hearted person I’ve ever met!”
When people mentioned Huo Junren, they usually associated words like “iron-faced” and “ruthless”, and “kind-hearted” seemed almost unrelated to him.
But during their relationship, she had also believed that beneath his cold exterior was a kind heart. Until she was abandoned, and that “belief” shattered completely.
However, today that “belief” emerged again in her heart—
Gently bandaging her wounds, pulling her back from the panic cliff in the elevator, taking good care of Klans, suddenly buying the dessert shop and renting it to the owner at zero rent, resolving the shop’s closure crisis…
What kind of man was Huo Junren? Had she… truly understood him?
Her understanding of him seemed severely insufficient…
So, the incident a year ago when he suddenly turned cold and ruthlessly abandoned her, might it possibly…
Shao Pingxi dared not continue thinking, afraid of unnecessary expectations, and then disappointment.
The next day was a weekend, and Shao Pingxi didn’t need to go to work.
