Chapter 67 - 67: 067, providing unsolicited help often means they’re up to no good.
Huo Jingshen returned to his room, greeted by the sound of running water.
He shut the door and glanced around without thinking.
This was the bedroom he used to live in. It’s small, so the bathroom is also small, the shower was located facing the door.
So, at this moment, through the semi-transparent frosted glass door, the warm light inside the room projected directly.
It was somewhat suggestive.
Cough,cough.
Unfortunately, the timing was off.
The little girl is slightly wounded and needed a few more days to recover.
He coughed lightly, walked over to the coffee table, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
Soon, the room was filled with a faint smell of tobacco, the lure of nicotine slightly calming him, but it did not last long…
A click, the room door was opened, and Su Wanwan stepped out.
Seeing Huo Jingshen smoking over there, Su Wanwan also froze.
What the-!
She thought Huo’s old man would have at least an hour’s business talk with him, but it ended quickly.
But going back now seemed to be too much, after all, they were already married.
So she blinked, calmly walked to the table and sat down, applying skin toner.
Through a thin cloud of smoke, Huo Jingshen squinted at her.
After bathing, her long black curly hair was pulled into a high bun.
After Su Wanwan finished her skincare routine, she turned around and met someone’s bottomless gaze.
She was taken aback momentarily.
She hurriedly got up to find her pajamas.
This afternoon, Aunt Liu had sent a suitcase which Su Wanwan half squat to reach for and rummaged through for her nightgown.
Smelling the pungent smoke, she stood up abruptly and slammed the suitcase shut, “Can’t you refrain from smoking in the bedroom? Show some courtesy, won’t you?”
After saying that, she waved the nightgown in mid-air, “You should take a bath, you stink! You’ve gotten the smell of smoke all over you!”
“Okay.” Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, stubbed out the cigarette, “Don’t put on your pajamas yet, I’ll help you apply the medicine later.”
Su Wanwan:”….”
She really admired his way of speaking, which was inappropriate for children. He stayed calm while her face turned beet red.
If this were a battle of thick-skinned, she’d have lost for sure!
Huo Jingshen chuckled, stopped teasing her, and got up to go into the bathroom.
While he was showering, Su Wanwan hurriedly changed into her pajamas and took out yesterday’s medicine bottle.
She decided to apply the medicine herself.
It’s better than letting him take advantage of her!
While she was figuring out how to apply it, her mobile rang again.
This time it was a local unknown number.
Su Wanwan answered impatiently, “Hello!”
“Wanwan, it’s me.”
“Who are you?”
“It’s me, your cousin, can’t you recognize my voice?” Qiao Zixin’s passionate and coquettish voice came.
Qiao Zixin?
Su Wanwan wondered, “What’s up?”
This cousin had always had little interaction with her and was closer to Su Yanyan.
As a matter of fact, other than Grandpa Su, the entire Su family had always disliked Su Wanwan.
“I was thinking – you’ve been back for a while and as your cousin, I haven’t even invited you to a meal. I thought I should. Do you have time tomorrow? I want to invite you and brother-in-law for a meal.”
“A meal?” Su Wanwan smiled, “No need.”
Perhaps not expecting her outright refusal, Qiao Zixin stammered for a bit before immediately saying, “Not free tomorrow? Then you set the time – I’m always available.”
Su Wanwan leaned leisurely against the headboard, sensing that her enthusiasm was a little strange.
Why would a relative who has never been fond of you suddenly invite you to dinner?
Ha!
Undue favor, suspicion of trickery!
“Cousin, don’t you have to work?”
“My job is pretty easy, and my boss isn’t strict. My office is near World Trade Sky City.. Let’s find a place nearby and you and brother-in-law let me know when you are free, okay?”
