Chapter 137 "I've satisfied your request."
In broad daylight, under the bright sun, under the clear sky, what nonsense is he spouting so early in the morning?
Jiang Qin glared at Huo Sili.
Unfortunately, Huo Sili's face looked as if it were covered in a wall.
Add to that his thick skin, and it's thicker than a city wall.
Her glare seemed to have no effect on him, and instead gave him the opportunity to meet her gaze.
A small fire was rising in Jiang Qin's heart. If Sister Wu hadn't been standing there, she would have really wanted to give Huo Sili a good beating.
Unfortunately, the reality was that Sister Wu was standing right there, and when Jiang Qin thought about how Sister Wu was one of the old lady's people, she still behaved herself and restrained herself.
Ignoring Huo Sili's words, Jiang Qin continued to eat most of the snacks.
Since he was holding the pastry directly with his index finger and thumb, there would inevitably be a small piece left over after biting into it, which would be inconvenient to eat—if he ate it, it would touch his fingers.
The posture was too ambiguous.
So when Jiang Qin ate the second to last piece, she naturally took a napkin from the coffee table, as if she was about to wipe her mouth and finish eating.
They thought they had it all figured out and could remain unmoved by any external influences.
Little did she know that this person seemed to have secretly "studied" eloquence before she even met him—
Jiang Qin pulled out a tissue, folded it, and was about to wipe her mouth.
Beside her, Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly, his dark, deep eyes falling on her profile, his words sharp and unforgettable.
"You left a piece for me, so you'd let me eat it? You just want to indirectly kiss me like that?"
Sister Wu next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He quickly suppressed his laughter, lowered his head, and looked somewhat frightened, but his smile only intensified, and the fear disappeared within seconds.
She's a professional; unless she really can't help it, hahaha...
After her initial amusement, Sister Wu couldn't help but wonder—what had triggered the Second Young Master? Why was he suddenly so humorous? It didn't seem like him at all; she had never thought he had a sense of humor before.
On the contrary, in the minds of most of the servants in the old mansion who had interacted with the second young master, he was a cold and unapproachable figure who made them feel afraid.
But now, these words made her, a woman nearing fifty, feel a little embarrassed to continue listening.
Could it be that the second young master has really suffered a major shock in something?
Sister Wu looked at Huo Sili and seriously considered the possibility. Thinking that the old lady loved this grandson the most, she couldn't help but worry about Huo Sili.
Jiang Qin was clearly taken aback by Huo Sili's sudden remark.
At this moment, her mind was full of questions, and her eyes clearly showed the question, "Are you alright?"
However, the moment she looked at Horst, Horst, holding the last bit of pastry she had eaten, put it into his mouth right in front of her and finished it.
"I've satisfied your request," he said to her.
Jiang Qin: "?" Huh?
Jiang Qin frowned slightly as she carefully observed Huo Sili's expression and smelled the metallic scent again. For some reason, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Girls are usually more sensitive to the smell of blood after their first period.
Therefore, she could naturally smell that the rusty smell on Horstley's body was blood.
I wanted to rewatch the collection, and I wanted to discuss divorce with him, but neither of these things was really appropriate given the current situation. After all, the wedding dress was something the old lady had to decide whether she liked it or not.
The old lady was never one to lack her own opinions. The main reason she left her on the sofa to choose a wedding dress was that she wanted to keep her there to ease tensions with Huo Sili. Jiang Qin wasn't stupid; she could naturally understand the old lady's intentions.
But sitting with him like this is obviously even stranger.
Jiang Qin paused for a moment, then showed her understanding side.
"You have injuries..."
But he had only uttered five words, not even having a chance to say the final "ma".
Horstley responded quite naturally.
"Yes, the injury is on my back. I can't apply the medicine myself properly. I didn't sleep much last night. Would you like to apply the medicine for me?"
Can she say no? Yes.
However, it is clearly inappropriate to say the word "can" in front of the old lady.
Jiang Qin gritted her teeth and immediately regretted it—it would have been better to just sit and wait for the old lady to finish her prayers and come down.
But there's no going back in life; words spoken can't be taken back.
In particular, Huo Sili stood up in an instant, looked at her as if it were a matter of course, and spoke very naturally.
"Let's go upstairs and help me apply the medicine."
