Huo Heng’s voice was very soft and only he and Xia Cha could hear it.
Xia Cha widened her bright black eyes and looked at Huo Heng in disbelief.
Huo Heng raised his hand and knocked her head lightly. “I’m joking.You’re not as pretty as your sister.”
Xia Cha realized that this person was here just to make her angry.
Huo Heng stopped teasing her and looked at Xia Chuan. “What are you doing in Yan City?”
Before Xia Cha could stop Xia Chuan, Xia Chuan said honestly, “Cha Cha came ti repair her jade pendant.”
Without them saying anything, Huo Heng already understood why Xia Cha would sing at the Sixth Master’s place.
“The repair outside is not reliable. I know a very good repairman. I can guarantee that he will do a good job.”
Xia Cha pursed her lips. “Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Huo…”
Guessing that she was going to reject him, Huo Heng said to Xia Chuan before she could, “Some jade shops will swap the real thing, and the success rate of repair is not as high as my friend’s.”
“Besides, it’s already late. The two of you will not be allowed to stay in a hotel since you’re not of age. It’s not safe to stay in a small hotel. Do you dare ti bring your sister to an unsafe place?”
Xia Chuan shook his head with a blush.
If he was alone, he could even sleep under a bridge, but with Cha Cha around, he could not stay in a dangerous place.
“Brother, I’m not afraid.”
Xia Cha felt that this Young Master Huo was more dangerous than a bad person!
“Cha Cha, Young Master Huo has a n.o.ble status and is knowledgeable. He won’t lie to us.”
Xia Cha was speechless.
Because of Xia Chuan’s strong request, Xia Cha had no choice but to hand the broken jade pendant to Huo Heng.
Xia Chuan was right. With Huo Heng’s status, he would not cheat them on the jade pendant!
After coming out from the barbecue stall, Huo Heng said that he was taking them to find his friend. In the end, the car drove to a villa.
Jian Yi had been on a business trip for the past two days and was not at home.
The butler was surprised to see Huo Heng bringing two plainly dressed children over.
Huo Heng instructed the butler, “Arrange a room for them.”
Huo Heng entered the study after giving his instructions.
Xia Chuan had never been to such a luxurious and stylish villa. There was shock in his eyes, but he did not dare to look around the place.
When they arrived at the guest room, Xia Chuan was extremely reserved. He looked at Xia Cha behind him. “Cha Cha, I feel like I’m in a palace.”
“Brother, that’s because you haven’t seen anything better.” Xia Cha herself was shocked when she heard this.
Had she seen anything better than this?
“Miss Xia, this is your room.”
The butler brought Xia Cha to another guest room.
Xia Cha’s reaction was much calmer than Xia Chuan’s.
The butler prepared clean pajamas for them. Xia Cha thanked him and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
After showering, Xia Cha thought of the jade pendant. Although Young Master Huo would not cheat her of a jade pendant with his status, it was very precious to her mother.
She would only be at ease after she met the repairman.
Xia Cha came out of the room.
After asking the butler and finding out that Huo Heng was in the study, Xia Cha went to look for him.
The butler said that Huo Heng’s study was at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Xia Cha walked over.
Arriving at the study, Xia Cha knocked on the door.
No one responded.
The door of the study was not closed tightly. Xia Cha pushed the door open and looked inside. “Young Master Huo?”
There was still no response.
There seemed to be the sound of a song inside. Xia Cha glanced at the projection on the wall.
There was a period drama on the screen. It was broadcasting a plot where the newly crowned concubine needed to dance.
Xia Cha looked at the woman slowly walking out on the screen. She was slightly stunned.
This woman gave her a very familiar feeling.
Watching the woman dance, Xia Cha forgot where she was.
Her fingers started to pose and dance with the woman on the screen.
Her slender fingers and slender waist were as soft as a snake’s. Even though she was wearing pajamas, she could still dance like the woman on the screen.
The woman on the screen acted coquettishly. Her last action was to cover her face with her slender fingers, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
Xia Cha followed the woman’s action, her slender fingers covering her face, her slightly upturned phoenix eyes swirling with a natural charm.
Huo Heng went to the bedroom to take a doc.u.ment and returned to the study. What he saw was Xia Cha dancing with Xia Tang, who was acting as the concubine.
His long and feminine upturned eyes could not help but narrow slightly.
Countless memories surged into his mind and attacked his heart.
Tangtang…
When she went on stage and sang the main song in Tangtang’s alb.u.m beautifully, he was already sure that she was Tangtang.
Now that he saw her dancing, he was only amazed, but not surprised.
After Xia Cha finished dancing with the beautiful concubine on the screen, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She turned around and saw the man who had appeared at the door of the study.
After returning to the villa, the man changed into a white V-neck t-s.h.i.+rt. His exquisite collarbones were slightly exposed and his hair was not as formally styled as it was outside. It was slightly messy and covered his forehead, making his facial features even more handsome.
He looked at her and narrowed his eyes.
Xia Cha could not understand the meaning in his eyes, but she could feel that he was not looking at her, but at someone else through her.
Xia Cha did not know what was wrong with her. As she watched the woman on the screen dance, she had started dancing unexpectedly and had even been caught by Young Master Huo.
Xia Cha lowered her head, her heart thumping wildly.
No matter how bold sge was, it was still awkward to be seen by others.
“I, I…”
Huo Heng saw through Xia Cha’s thoughts and smiled. “You danced very well.”
Xia Cha looked down, not daring to look at him again. She did not say anything and ran away in panic.
…
Xia Cha returned to her room and calmed down after a while.
Lying on the pillow and smelling the faint fragrance, her eyelids became heavy.
After she fell asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, she was sitting in a car and the car suddenly lost control and kept rus.h.i.+ng down the cliff.
Someone seemed to be calling her. “Tangtang, Tangtang…”
…
Huo Heng came to the guest room where Xia Cha was and went to the bed. When he saw the girl on the bed, who kept shaking her head, her small hands gripping the bedsheets tightly, as if she was extremely afraid and nervous.
There was a lot of sweat on her forehead. Huo Heng took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Sensing her fear, he held her hand tightly. “Tangtang, don’t be afraid.”
The girl who had fallen into a nightmare slowly quietened down.
Her breathing returned to normal.
Huo Heng pushed her sweaty hair away and touched her forehead lightly.
“Tangtang, I will protect you this time.”
