Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“All boys? Who else is there besides ?”
These words were clearly ant for Lu Ning to hear. Lu Ning looked at him, then ignored him.
Hearing her phone ring in the room, she went back to get it.
The call was from Lin Ci.
Lin Ci was hesitant and did not say much. Lu Ning felt that sothing was wrong; after asking a few questions, she hung up without saying anything.
Puzzled, Lu Ning walked to the cafeteria with her phone.
Lu Bai handed her the chopsticks.
“Why do you look so frustrated?”
“l don’t know what’s wrong with Little Ci, but she’s stuttering.”
Lu Ning still felt that sothing was wrong and sent a ssage to Lin Ci to ask her what was wrong.
Lin Ci took a long ti before she replied that she was fine.
As she ate, she ssaged Lin Ci.
After dinner, when Lu Ning took her things to the balcony, she spotted Huo Jinyan’s car at the entrance of the alley from afar.
Stunned for a mont, she took out her phone and sent a ssage to Huo
Jinyan.
Lu Ning: [Where are you?]
Huo Jinyan: [I’m at ho.]
Lu Ning: [Liar.]
He was stunned for a mont. When Lu Ning saw Huo Jinyan get out of the car, she stood by the car and waved at her.
Huo Jinyan: [You saw ?]
Lu Ning knew that he could not see the balcony from that angle, but he knew that she was there.
Lu Ning: [Yeah.]
Huo Jinyan: [Get back in. It’s cold outside.]
Lu Ning looked over again before turning around to leave.
Lu Ning: [Huo Jinyan, are you afraid?]
Huo Jinyan made a video call. Lu Ning was shocked and hurriedly ran back to her room with her phone.
When she returned, she closed the door and switched to a voice call before picking up.
Huo Jinyan’s voice imdiately ca from the other end. “Yes, I’m afraid. I want to feel more at ease.’
He really could not settle down. Sothing like this had happened near Lu Ning, so he could not ignore it. He could only feel more at ease if he was relatively close to her.
Lu Ning was not a fool either. She knew that Gu Chen and the others had placed many people around her to protect her in secret. Recently, she could sense that there were more people around her; it was probably because of Huo Jinyan.
With their lineup, unless she had walked into the thieves’ den herself, there was no way she would be snatched away.
Lu Ning lay on her side on the bed with her phone beside her.
She did not speak for a long ti, and the phone was silent.
“Huo Jinyan.”
She called out.
Huo Jinyan imdiately replied in a deep voice, “Yes, I’m here. Go to sleep.” He seed to be able to see what she was doing.
Lu Ning had indeed started to feel sleepy as she lay on the bed. She had clearly just woken up not long ago, but she was already sleepy again.
Perhaps it was because she was suddenly bored and did not know what to do, coupled with the fact that she was exhausted from thinking about things.
She could hear Huo Jinyan’s breathing. Then, Lu Ning really fell asleep peacefully.
Hearing the gradually calming breathing from the phone, Huo Jinyan smiled and placed the phone beside him. His hand that was flipping through the docunts beca even more ticulous.
The flipping sounds were so soft to be almost inaudible.
The anxiety he felt reading through the docunts gradually also cald down, after he listened to Lu Nings breathing.
He frowned slightly as he looked at the thing in his hand.
He took a deep breath and gripped the corner of the docunt tightly with his fingertips.
His knuckles had turned white; it was not peaceful in the capital.
Because of the gun Huo Jinyan had sent last ti, Huo Shi had been staying in line now. However, those people who had been coveting the Huo family’s fortune had begun to extend their claws recently.
The Huo family had been standing strong in the capital for so many years..
Who knew how many people secretly hoped for them to collapse…
