Xia Cha was still fuming when a servant came up to report, “Madam, Young Master, Miss Zhou is here.”
Huo Heng frowned slightly.
He had not gone for the blind date. He had also asked Jian Ming to contact Miss Zhou and send her an apology message. Why had she come to his house?
Huo Heng walked toward Xia Cha. Xia Cha ignored him and hid behind Xia Chuan. She stuck her head out and said with a tense face, “Don’t talk to me. Go deal with your love affairs first.”
Huo Heng was speechless.
Jian Yi immediately reacted. She held Xia Cha’s hand and comforted her, “Cha Cha, I’ll only recognize you as my daughter-in-law. Don’t worry, our Heng’er is as stubborn as me.”
Xia Cha walked to the staircase and looked down.
The woman was wearing an apricot-colored coat. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her figure was slender and exquisite. She looked very elegant.
Xia Cha glanced at the woman’s face.
What she saw shocked her.
Wasn’t she the woman who had crossed the road earlier and knocked into their car?
At the hospital, that lady had wanted to give her a diamond bracelet.
Could she be Miss Zhou?
Huo Heng had never seen Miss Zhou before, but when he saw her in person, he felt that she did not match the lively and cheerful appearance that his grandmother had described.
However, he did not have any thoughts about Miss Zhou. Her personality was none of his business.
Xia Cha couldn’t hear what Huo Heng said to Miss Zhou as they walked toward the back garden.
Jian Yi was afraid that the relations.h.i.+p between Xia Cha and Huo Heng would be ruined by Miss Zhou, so she pulled Xia Cha downstairs.
Jian Yi wanted to bring Xia Cha to the back garden, but Xia Cha refused. Jian Yi had no choice but to wait in the living room with Xia Cha.
About ten minutes later, Miss Zhou ran from the garden to the living room with tears streaming down her face.
When she saw Jian Yi, she greeted the latter. While she was a little surprised to see Xia Cha and Xia Chuan, she didn’t say anything and ran out with tears in her eyes.
It was obvious that she had suffered a blow.
Xia Cha was worried that something would happen if Miss Zhou ran out like this. Xia Chuan was the same. He frowned and said to Xia Cha, “Cha Cha, I’ll go and take a look at her.”
Xia Cha nodded.
Huo Heng came to the living room from the backyard.
Everyone in the living room stared at him.
It was as if he had done something evil to Miss Zhou.
“Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t say a word to Miss Zhou. When we reached the garden, she told me that she had a boyfriend overseas, but her parents didn’t agree to her relations.h.i.+p, so they agreed to a blind date without her permission.”
“She went on a blind date today to clarify things with me, but she b.u.mped into her boyfriend on the way. His boyfriend was with another girl. Miss Zhou studied abroad and never told her boyfriend about her family background. Her boyfriend thought that she was just from an ordinary family background and secretly dated a woman with good conditions.”
“Miss Zhou came over and tell me that she’s not in the mood to talk about boyfriends for the time being. I’m not her type either.”
Xia Cha did not expect Miss Zhou to meet such a bad boyfriend.
No wonder she was so distraught and tearful.
…
Jian Yi asked Xia Cha to stay for dinner.
After eating, Xia Cha suggested visiting Grandma Huo.
Huo Heng accompanied Xia Cha.
When Old Madam Huo saw Xia Cha and Huo Heng coming over together, she knew that both of them had feelings for each other. A smile appeared on her loving and old face.
Old Madam Huo clasped Huo Heng’s and Xia Cha’s hands together. “Cha Cha, if Huo Heng bullies you in the future, I will not let him off even if I die.”
“Grandma, what if the little girl bullies your grandson?”
“Grandma will agree wholeheartedly.”
Huo Heng was speechless.
…
After leaving the Old Madam’s ward, the sky gradually darkened.
Xia Cha called Xia Chuan and he replied, “Miss Zhou asked me to be her driver for a day. She’s drinking and singing at the KTV now. I’m afraid something will happen if I leave.”
Xia Chuan was honest and upright. He had never been in a relations.h.i.+p before, so he was purely protecting Miss Zhou. After all, he was a good person!
“Brother, protect Miss Zhou well. When she doesn’t want to drink anymore, send her home.”
“Okay, then you have to protect yourself. You can’t let Young Master Huo take advantage of you on your first day with him, okay?”
Xia Cha blushed, “Brother, what nonsense are you spouting? It’s not that easy to take advantage of me.”
…
After Xia Cha ended the call with Xia Chuan, she realized that Huo Heng was not by her side.
Xia Cha walked to the entrance of the hospital and saw Huo Heng.
He was not alone. There was a woman standing beside him.
“Brother Heng, it was my fault four years ago. I shouldn’t have broken up with you out of spite. Back then, you were having an affair with another woman. I lied to you out of anger that I had a new boyfriend.”
“Actually, I don’t. You’re the only one in my heart.”
“I’m the girlfriend you dated for the longest time. I know that I’m different in your heart. These few years, I’ve worked hard to improve myself and become an Internet celebrity.”
“Can you give me another chance? I promise I’ll listen to you.”
“Brother Heng, I love you. I really love you…”
When Xia Cha heard the woman’s words, gooseb.u.mps appeared on her arms.
Gosh, was she acting in a soap opera?
But…
The woman’s words reminded Xia Cha of Huo Heng’s bad reputation.
The woman wanted to hold Huo Heng’s hand, but before she could touch him, he stopped her with a fierce look in his eyes.
The woman realized that Huo Heng had changed a lot compared to four years ago. He used to be a playboy with an unruly appearance.
But now, every movement of his carried a n.o.ble and elegant aura. Even if he was smiling, no one would think that he was a frivolous and promiscuous man.
With one hand in his trouser pocket, Huo Heng said calmly, “The Huo Heng of the past is already dead. The Huo Heng now doesn’t like you.”
Huo Heng walked toward Xia Cha.
The woman wanted to chase after him, but she saw Huo Heng standing in front of a beautiful girl. His slender hand held her hand and pulled her into the car.
In the car, Xia Cha glared at Huo Heng with a tense expression. “I don’t want to like you anymore.”
Huo Heng’s face darkened.
“How many girlfriends have you had in the past? You can’t even count them with your fingers!”
Huo Heng said, “The only person I’ve liked in four years is you.”
Xia Cha looked into his eyes and pursed her lips, “Who knows if you will cherish her after you win her heart?”
He held Xia Cha’s hand in his palm. “We’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. Do you dare?”
Xia Cha retracted her hand. “I’m not at the age to get married yet. Besides, who gets married right after they get together?” She had just started to like him. It was far from the point of love or marriage.
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha’s flushed face. He curled his index finger and gently scratched it.. He smiled lazily and said, “So be it. Why are you blus.h.i.+ng?”
