Chapter 17
Who Will Huo Shen Choose?
....
An Xiaowan suddenly jolted out of her dismal thoughts and stared wide-eyed at Huo Shen.
This man… Was he not here to make life difficult for her?
Why is he helping her now?
An Xue had thought that if Young Master Huo said something, An Xiaowan would never dare to disobey him.
But before she could even feel happy for An Xiaowan’s predicament, she heard Huo Shen’s words and her entire being froze.
“Young Master Huo… it is the caddie’s job to retrieve b.a.l.l.s… ”
However, Huo Shen remained silent, his eyes reflecting a dark abyss. Without speaking anything else, he reached behind for the ball bucket brought over by his caddie, pulled out his golf club, walked over to his starting position, and waited.
Lu Yange knew Huo Shen did not like talking to strangers. So he added, “Since you are the one who wants this precious ball, it is only natural that you retrieve it. Aren’t you worried that the caddie may hurt your precious little ball!”
A look of mischief flashed across his eyes.
An Xue held her breath and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was afraid she might offend the two supreme masters before her.
Everyone present knew of Huo Shen and Lu Yange’s ident.i.ties and status.
If anyone wished to continue surviving in this Capital, it was imperative to not offend them.
Chen Yinian stepped forward to stop An Xue and offered to go instead for her. “Let me retrieve the ball. I can do it faster. Xiao Xue may take too long, and we don’t want to keep President Huo waiting.”
Huo Shen’s stood still, his gaze unmoving. He stood there with an indifferent and cold expression.
Lu Yange looked at Huo Shen and shook his head. “You’re not taking Brother Huo’s words seriously, are you? Whoever he says shall retrieve the ball, will be the one going.”
When Huo Shen says something, n.o.body dares to say otherwise.
So what if he says something unreasonable?
Who dares to talk back?
Who dares to reject?
For he is the most dignified and feared Young Master of the Capital!
“But…” Chen Yinian had something to say, but An Xue held him back.
Her face was pale as she nodded and said softly, “I will go and retrieve the ball.”
After saying that, she walked towards the buggy parked at the side.
Finally, An Xiaowan’s grievances were addressed. She smiled and reminded An Xue, “An Xue, didn’t you say that buggy has broken down? For the sake of your own safety, I think you’d better go on foot.”
An Xue bit her lip, her face burning with embarra.s.sment.
She cannot take back what she said earlier because Huo Shen and Lu Yange might have heard it as well.
An Xue could only be furious in her heart but did not dare to utter a word.
Wen Biyu and everyone else became silent, and no one dared to say anything. They were afraid to even look at the handsome and exquisite man.
Lu Yange raised his eyebrows. “Ms. An Xue, shouldn’t you get going?”
“I-I am going now.” An Xue lowered her head, and hurriedly ran away.
After seeing An Xue leave, Lu Yange immediately broke the silence as he chirped happily, “Let’s not just sit there, let’s have a game. You are free to set your rules, two people in a team.”
Lu Yange looked over at Huo Shen and said, “I want to play against you. Who do you want as your partner?”
Lu Yange’s eyes were arched upwards, twinkling with amus.e.m.e.nt as he smiled.
Lu Yange knew very well that Huo Shen disliked having physical contact with strange women, or playing matches with them. He also abhorred being dragged down by others in a game, so he often played solo.
Yet now, Lu Yange took the risk of suggesting team play.
All the ladies were excited as their eyes lit up at the possibilities.
If they are chosen by Huo Shen to play a game with him, it would be a golden chance for them to connect and get to know him better. What a great thing that would be!
In this Capital, every rich heiress wanted to have connections with the Huo Family and enter the family.
Huo Shen has always been elusive and mysterious, and he was never interested in attending banquets and events. Hence, the opportunities to come into contact with him were very rare.
Who will Huo Shen choose?
While everyone looked on eagerly with antic.i.p.ation, Huo Shen appeared calm. His long, slender arms swung his golf club lightly, and his eyes looked straight at An Xiaowan.
“Come over here.”
Huo Shen’s elegant and sensuous voice made An Xiaowan’s ears buzz lightly.
Just as his words fell, a golf club was brought over to An Xiaowan.
