Chu Tingting let out a self-mocking laugh: "Such an outstanding man—who wouldn’t like him? But liking him doesn’t do any good anymore. Instead of wasting my ti on him, I might as well look for a man who can support my ambition. Daddy, in your opinion, which families currently rival the Huo Family? I’ll find an opportunity to get to know them tomorrow."
Chu Younan looked at his daughter, who had co to her senses, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, now this is the kind of daughter worthy of being Chu Younan’s child. From the mont you were born, your destiny was bound to be extraordinary. I can see that you have ambition."
Chu Tingting curled her lips into a proud smile: "Of course! I can’t let the Chu family na go to waste, Daddy. I’m determined to find a man who loves more than Huo Yanting does—and he must also be exceptional."
"Alright, Daddy will help you find one too!" Chu Younan looked deeply gratified by the light in his daughter’s eyes, as his inner worries finally eased.
For three consecutive days, Huo Yanting hadn’t left the Huo Family estate or gone to the company. Instead, he wholeheartedly stayed ho to accompany Lin Banxia.
The two of them enjoyed their rare monts of solitude together, and the most dangerous day passed amidst their light chats.
Night fell, and Lin Banxia reached out to personally tear off the day’s page from the calendar.
She crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the nearby trash can.
The day of Huo Yanting’s car accident had safely passed. She believed that his destiny might have been altered from now onward.
Yet within Lin Banxia’s heart lingered a faint unease, because she still couldn’t predict what kind of fate awaited them.
Even though she thought they had overco that crisis, was it truly safe now?
On the fourth day, Huo Yanting had already received Grandpa’s urging calls multiple tis.
In the early morning, as sunlight stread into the room, Huo Yanting propped himself up on top of her, his thin lips curling into a smile. In a low voice, he said, "Banxia, I absolutely have to go to the company today. If I don’t, my Grandpa might hold accountable."
Lin Banxia knew how rare it was to have this busy man accompany her for three days, and it was already an extravagant indulgence. Besides, the company was currently swamped with work, and Old Sir Huo, being advanced in age, was struggling to manage everything—it was true that he greatly needed Huo Yanting’s assistance.
"Alright, go ahead—but you must be extra cautious about your safety while traveling," Lin Banxia softly reminded.
Huo Yanting nodded earnestly and replied, "Okay, I promise you—I’ll be extrely careful. Don’t worry about !"
"I’m not worried—I’m scared!" Lin Banxia reached out and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her cheek against the crook of his neck. "Huo Yanting, even though we’ve safely passed the day of your past-life car accident, I don’t know if we’re truly safe now."
"Banxia, no matter what trials destiny throws my way, I will love you—always. Don’t be afraid, alright?" Huo Yanting reached out and tenderly stroked her silky, smooth hair. "Trust , I’ll be fine."
Lin Banxia stood lingeringly by the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, watching the man’s convoy leave.
She let out a soft sigh, then reached up to tap her own head. Perhaps it was due to her pregnancy, but she seed to be overthinking more and more.
With so many bodyguards accompanying Huo Yanting, there shouldn’t be any accidents, right?
She shouldn’t spend all day languishing in anxiety. She’d heard that such tension was bad for the baby’s developnt. She ought to calm her heart and focus on nurturing her pregnancy.
