Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 66 - 62: Boss Huo’s Gaze at Xingguang Is Not Innocent (Part 2)
Jiang Heng is different from those idle rich kids in West Continent City. He has a positive image, graduated from an international prestigious school, and has strong self-discipline.
Xiahou Shang has always had interactions with Jiang Heng, knowing him for many years, and has never heard any bad gossip about Jiang Heng.
This shows that Jiang Heng is a very good romantic partner.
Xiahou Shang sincerely thinks Jiang Heng and Xu Xingguang are very well matched, so he gave Jiang Heng Xu Xingguang’s phone number without her permission.
That wedding feast marked the beginning of this ill-fated romance.
When he learned that Jiang Heng’s first love, the white moonlight, had her illness under control, and Xu Xingguang’s situation became dangerous, he, out of guilt, then hired international assassins to protect Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang felt Xiahou Shang’s apology, and she said: "Jiang Heng excels at camouflage. Since he came prepared, it’s understandable that brother-in-law would be used by him. You don’t need to apologize to me. In this whole matter, at most, you acted as a matchmaker."
"The one who really should apologize and admit wrong is Jiang Heng." Xu Xingguang took another sip of her drink and playfully winked at Xiahou Shang, saying: "Of course, if you really feel sorry, then please give my senior sister double the love."
"That’s a must."
The three of them drank and talked about old times.
Zhang Zhiyi noticed Xu Xingguang frequently turning her head to watch the boats on Yun Meng Lake, thinking she wanted a lake trip, so he suggested: "Sitting and drinking is boring, how about taking a boat ride around the lake for sightseeing?"
Xiahou Shang thought this suggestion was good, "I think so."
Zhang Zhiyi asked Xu Xingguang, "Shall we go?"
Xu Xingguang nodded, "Sure."
There’s a private dock at the back of the bar, and they can take the bar’s boat for a lake ride. The three of them carried their drinks onto the boat, which sailed to the center of the lake and happened to meet Ye Mingluo and Huo Wen’an’s boat.
"Doctor Ye?" Xiahou Shang recognized Ye Mingluo, quickly stood up to greet him.
Ye Mingluo held a box in his arms, exchanged a few words with Xiahou Shang, and then looked at Xu Xingguang. "Miss Xu, why are you here too?"
He didn’t expect Xu Xingguang to have a connection with Xiahou Shang as well.
Zhang Zhiyi took the initiative to introduce: "Xingguang is my junior sister, as close as sisters to me. She was even the only bridesmaid at my and Brother Shang’s wedding."
"I see." Ye Mingluo turned his head to complain to Huo Wen’an: "That son of the richest man in West Continent City met Xu Xingguang at that wedding. Tsk tsk, the beginning of an ill-fated romance."
Huo Wen’an seemed not to hear Ye Mingluo’s words, continually observing Xu Xingguang.
Though not long ago, the two of them had a casserole dinner together, yet seeing Xu Xingguang now, Huo Wen’an felt somewhat unfamiliar.
Tonight, Xu Xingguang was wearing a purple silk long dress, with a white knitted shawl on her shoulders, her long curly hair lazily draped over her shoulders, and her lightly made-up face looked more delicate and charming.
It was the first time Huo Wen’an saw Xu Xingguang in a dress, and for a while, he was lost in his gaze.
The two boats quickly moved away from each other, and Ye Mingluo, seeing Huo Wen’an losing his soul after seeing Xu Xingguang, teased him: "Spring is here, our A Zui’s heart is just like the lake water, rippling." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Huo Wen’an didn’t bother to respond to Ye Mingluo. He withdrew his gaze and turned to enter the cabin.
Ye Mingluo followed him in, stuffed the box into Huo Wen’an’s arms, and sat beside him, like jokingly asked him: "A Zui, if you could live, would you pursue Miss Xu?"
Huo Wen’an remained silent.
"You just pretend." Ye Mingluo pointed at his own eyes and said: "I’m an experienced man, with sharp eyes. Your gaze towards her is not innocent."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wen’an finally reacted. He turned his head to gaze at Ye Mingluo for a moment before showing a look of frustration. He whispered, "If you can see it, can she? Can she see it too?"
So his feelings were so obvious?
