Chapter 410: rry Christmas!
The first ti was when he saw her mouth.
The second ti was when he saw her legs.
The third ti was in the office last ti.
Today, it was even more absurd…
“Three tis and you’re out,” but this was already the fourth ti recently.
Too close together!
And too strange!
Because all four tis happened with the sa woman.
This had never happened before.
Although he always prided himself on being flirtatious, Chu Xiuhuang admitted that he had never felt this way about any woman before.
He looked at the photo, his eyebrows furrowed.
He wanted to regain control of his mind, but he found he couldn t.

While soone was questioning himself in the hospital, the bonfire party at the
Phoenix Mountain Hot Springs was also beginning.
Because it was outdoors, and the club’s halfway up a hill, there were no
buildings to block the wind.
The cold wind blew, making the air freezing. Not even the children and their parents, fully bundled up against the harsh cold, could ward it off.
Su Wanwan was also dressed in a thick down jacket, wearing a woolen hat and scarf. Only her eyes and nose were exposed, but…
It was really so damn cold!
Within a short while, she felt her face was about to freeze solid.
If it weren’t for accompanying Ziyang to watch his little girlfriend s performance, she really wanted to run back to the room, soak in the warm bath, and watch a wonderful Arican action movie!
Su Wanwan withdrew her hands into her down jacket sleeves and stuffed them into her pockets. She looked like a bear, but she was still shivering.
In contrast, Huo Jingshen, wearing only a long black coat, stood straight in the
cold wind, relaxed as if he wasn’t cold at all.
Su Wanwan glanced at him.
Glanced at him.
After a while, she looked at him again.
Finally, Huo Jingshen turned his head and looked at her, “What’s wrong?”
Su Wanwan asked, “Aren’t you cold?”
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, then stretched out his hand to start undoing
the buttons of his coat.
Su Wanwan was even more admiring.
Holy moly!
Not only was he not cold, but he was also unbuttoning his coat.
She considered herself to have a good physique, but she didn’t expect…
The next second, Huo Jingshen opened his coat and pulled her into his arms, wrapping her completely in his warmth.
Su Wanwan: “…”
As her head rested on his warm chest, she could hear his steady heartbeat and
his deep mature voice, “Is it warr now?”
Su Wanwan nodded with a smile.
The bonfire in the distance had already been lit, and the Christmas tree next to
it began to shimr and twinkle under the light.
Amid the flickering lights, she couldn’t help but looked up.
The man’s face changed between light and shadow in the flickering light, and because he was so tall, she had to lift her chin very high to clearly see his deep and three-dinsional eyes.
“rry, Christmas!” soone suddenly shouted.
In the dark night sky, colorful fireworks suddenly exploded, one burst following another, crackling with a variety of colors, as if cracking in the bottom of her heart.
A stir in Su Wanwan’ s heart.
Huo Jingshen’s handso brow also furrowed instantly.
Squinting again, he saw that Su Wanwan had buried her face back into his chest.
Not far away, a white figure silently stood, watching the scene for a long ti before finally turning and leaving.

An hour later, due to the extre cold and concerns about the little one catching a cold, the gift distribution ended, and the bonfire party was wrapped up ahead of schedule.
Just as Su Wanwan was following the crowd into the club, soone suddenly
tugged at her arm.
She turned around and was surprised to see Bai Ruwei.
Bai was in a white down jacket with long hair draping over her shoulders. She wore no makeup, looking pure and beautiful.
“Wanwan, can I talk to you for a mont?” Bai Ruwei asked, then turned to Huo Jingshen standing next to her, “Mr. Huo, I only need to talk with Wanwan for five minutes, is that okay?”
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
The two found a corner to sit down in the sofa area on the first floor.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“Wanwan, I really didn’t steal anything,” Bai Ruwei said earnestly.
“I believe you.”
“Do you really believe ?” Bai Ruwei’s eyes welled up with tears, “Wanwan, you’re the only one who believes . But I swear to you, I didn’t steal anything.
I didn’t.”
With that, she started to cry again.
Su Wanwan said honestly, “Maybe it’s just an intuition, but I believe you didn’t
steal anything.”
People who steal, like the maid Jiang that Mo Weiyi had previously, usually have a ntality of seeking petty gain. They are not like Bai Ruwei, who works hard every day to earn her living expenses.
Moreover, she had heard from two girls before that they all ca together. If so, who would be stupid enough to steal from their companions and place it in their own bag?
“Actually, they just wanted to fra , make Zhexi dislike and break up with because Xia Jiani has always liked Zhexi.”
“Are you really with Zhexi?”
Bai Ruwei nodded, “I t Zhexi while working at the club. I accidentally spilled a drink on him. Any other man would have slapped without a second thought, but he didn’t. Later, every ti he ca, he would ask to accompany him for drinks. Only after we got together did I realize he was Mr. Huo’s younger brother.”
After saying this, she looked at Su Wanwan, “Wanwan, you’re not angry with
, are you?”
“What do you an?”
Bai Ruwei bit her lip, “I never intended to compete with you for anything. I had no idea that Zhexi was the third son of the Huo family. I just simply liked him. I didn’t an to hide anything from you…”
“What exactly do you like about him?”
Su Wanwan blurted out.
She didn’t think Huo Zhexi was a decent man at all.
With an outstanding elder brother like Huo Jingshen, and an honest and upright soldier brother like Huo Nuanyang, she found it strange how the Huo family could produce such an irresponsible third son.
Very soon he would be twenty-four but he still wasted his days away. He used to be good friends with Xing Yuyun, and they even shared a woman.
Moreover, it was obvious from what happened at noon today, Huo Zhexi didn’t really care about Bai Ruwei. Perhaps he just saw her as an optional companion.
Of course, these thoughts were kept to herself. Bai Ruwei said, “There’s no reason for love. Once you fall in love, you just do, I can’t control my feelings.
Alright then.
Su Wanwan truly didn’t know what to say anymore.
“Wanwan.” Bai Ruwei spoke again, “So, can you help ?
” Help you with what?”
“Zhexi went ho this afternoon, and no matter how I explain, he won’t listen. Can you help explain to him? I truly didn’t take Xia Jiani’s necklace. I haven’t even seen the necklace, and I went to the restroom at that ti. When I ca back, they claid to have found the necklace in my bag. It was clearly a deliberate setup to fra !”
“Have you told Zhexi these things?”
“He doesn’t believe .”
Su Wanwan helplessly said, “I can’t ddle in your relationship matters. Plus, Zhexi doesn’t really like .”
She and Huo Zhexi never got along. Besides, misappropriating a necklace is a couple’s issue, why should an outsider get involved? And she wasn’t even there. Su Wanwan understood Bai Ruwei’s predicant but persuading others to believe by word of mouth alone seed a bit forced, given she was just an outsider.
“Alright.”
Bai Ruwei gave a bitter smile.
Just as Su Wanwan was about to leave, Bai Ruwei’s voice rang out again, “I’ll never forget what happened today, those two set up for theft and intentionally embarrassed . I won’t let them off!
Su Wanwan was startled. “What are you going to do?
Bai Ruwei glanced around then whispered, “That Li Yu, she’s a student from our school’s Chinese departnt.
She often sses around with n outside, especially at the club where I work.
I’ve seen her ssing around with n in the bathroom. As long as I catch her red-handed next ti, I can completely ruin her reputation!
As for that Xia Jiani, Li Yu is particularly nice to her. I heard her father is a high-ranking military officer, and both her grandparents are influential figures. For such families, the thing they fear most is scandal. As long as I…”
