Song Yunshu, who was inexplicably dragged out by Huo Cen, didn’t even have time to react before she was brought out in a daze.

She thought that Ruan Peiting was still in the house. Would it be bad for them to leave her behind for no reason?

However, when she smelled the fresh air outside, the feeling of nausea that had been weighing on her chest and making her want to throw up disappeared instantly.

While the man wasn’t paying attention, she took two deep breaths.

Looking around at the lush green surroundings, her body and mood were unprecedentedly relaxed.

Huo Cen glanced at the girl behind him without batting an eyelid.

He didn’t say anything. His dark eyes were deep and unreadable emotions brewing within them.

They walked into the yard.

Finally, the man stopped in a secluded corner.

Due to inertia and a momentary lack of attention to the man in front of her, Song Yunshu ended up accidentally bumping her head into his back.

Huo Cen’s back was broad and sturdy.

Her head was knocked so hard that she almost saw stars. Her footsteps subconsciously took two steps back before she stopped.

“Aren’t you looking where you’re going?”

Huo Cen’s tone wasn’t gentle, and even faintly carried a hint of anger.

Song Yunshu dare not to speak out her anger.

She could only lower her head pitifully.

As one of her hands was still held by Huo Cen, she could only raise her other hand and rub her sore head that had been hit.

She felt extremely aggrieved.

If he hadn’t pulled her along and stopped without saying a word, she wouldn’t have bumped into him.

This man was simply a domineering tyrant.

He had fully demonstrated the phrase ‘calling out a thief’ to the fullest.

Huo Cen saw that she did not speak, and the frustration in his heart grew.

He roughly took her hand off her head and glanced at her.

“I’m not a metal plate. I won’t kill you if you bump into me.”

“Yes, yes, if you kill me. You could just find another wife who can serve you!”

Song Yunshu couldn’t hold back and raised her head to glare at him fiercely.

Along with the anger she had received from Ruan Peiting, she poured it all on Huo Cen.

She had never seen anyone speak like this. Not only did he not say any comforting words, but he also stabbed her heart with a knife.

Did he think that others were fools if they didn’t get angry?

Huo Cen saw that she finally showed a second expression on her face other than docility, and the anger that had accumulated in his heart instantly dissipated.

He was used to seeing her pretend to be obedient and docile. Now that he saw her like this, he could not help but feel strange.

“Not pretending anymore?”

The man’s eyes narrowed with a smile, teasing her with his gaze. The laughter never stopped.

Song Yunshu was stunned for two seconds, then she coughed awkwardly and quickly moved her gaze away to look elsewhere.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Huo Cen chuckled.

His voice fell into Song Yunshu’s ears, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was ticklish, like a feather lightly brushing against her ear, causing her to tremble.

“It’s time to go back for breakfast! If we don’t eat it, it would get cold soon.”

Song Yunshu turned around and fled.

She was like an eel that could not be caught. was slippery and impossible to catch.

However, because she was new here, she wasn’t familiar with the terrain here. Song Yunshu, who had barely taken two steps, had no choice but to turn around again.

She looked at the person standing not far behind her with his arms crossed and looked at her calmly.

Song Yunshu hesitated, her fingers twisting the fabric of her clothes. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke up again.

“Um, aren’t you going to leave yet?”

Huo Cen walked over to her, unhurriedly, and dropped his hands.

“I’m not in a rush. If you’re in a hurry, you can go back first.”

With that, he swaggered off in another direction.

Song Yunshu was speechless.

She knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her.

However, due to Huo Cen’s status and the fact that she had no choice but to be subservient under his roof. She had no choice but to follow behind him, albeit reluctantly, as they walked toward an unknown destination.

Song Yunshu trailed behind him obediently.

After an unknown period of time, Huo Cen’s cold voice suddenly came from the front.

Every word fell into her ears clearly.

He said, “Just forget what Ruan Peiting said earlier. You don’t have to take it to heart. I grew up with my grandfather. Those old-fashioned rules of the Huo family don’t apply to me, and they certainly don’t apply to Qiuya Garden either.”
