It was the tea room in a villa. A good-looking girl in a school uniform was staring at the cold man in front of her in disbelief. “Huo Quan, what the f*ck did you just say?”
“Don’t swear like a trooper, Miaoke.” Huo Quan’s voice was gentle as he talked calmly.
“What the f*ck…” Li Miaoke raised her voice again.
“You heard what I just said rather clearly.” As Huo Quan put down the exquisite teacup in his hand elegantly, his deep gaze fell on Li Miaoke. Then, Li Miaoke instantly stopped talking.
Yes, she did hear it clearly. But she became so frightened and angry just because she had heard it clearly! She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Yet, how could she calm down at such a thing?
“Huo Quan, are you out of your mind? You actually want to marry me? I haven’t even celebrated my 18th birthday yet, but you’re already 25 years old! You’re seven years older than me! You’re robbing the cradle! Do you know how shameless you are?”
“Are you done?”
Huo Quan’s gaze was as indifferent as ever.
Li Miaoke, who was still fuming with anger, suddenly stopped talking as if someone had pressed the pause button on her. She quietly took a step back. At this moment, Huo Quan said, “Come up to me.”
Hearing that, Li Miaoke leaped backward like a frightened kitten and said, “No! I’ve already made my point clearly just now. Since you’re so smart, you should get what I meant, right?”
Huo Quan nodded. “I get it.”
“Since you understand, why do you still ask me to go over?” Li Miaoke knew that this man would not stop until he achieved his goal. So, she tried to persuade him. “Brother Huo, look at you. You have already graduated with a Ph.D., but I haven’t even entered college. And I haven’t even graduated from my high school…”
Huo Quan interrupted her expressionlessly with a conclusion, “You’re not graduated because you’re stupid.”
Li Miaoke burst into anger as she shouted, “I’m stupid? You said that I was stupid? Yeah, right! You’re smart. You, Huo Quan, are the smartest person in the world. No one can compare to you, right? Look at me. Since I’m so stupid, why do you want to marry me? Why did you come up with this idea? You…”
“Are you thirsty?” Huo Quan asked calmly.
Li Miaoke paused her anger for a moment. She smacked her lips and nodded. “Yes, indeed, I am a little thirsty.”
“The tea is ready. Come and have a try.” Huo Quan tapped the teacup in front of him.
Li Miaoke nimbly ran to Huo Quan’s side. She picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp. It was the top-quality West Lake Longjing Tea, but she drank it as if an ox was drinking water. She did not taste anything at all.
A faint smile flashed across Huo Quan’s eyes. He put down the teacup and asked in a gentle voice, “Why don’t you want to marry me?”
Li Miaoke held the teacup in her hands as her eyebrows furrowed. “I’m so young. Why do I have to get married at an early age? Moreover, I have been dreaming about beautiful love. If I get married now, how can I pursue my dream?”
As she mumbled, Huo Quan’s face was getting gloomier while Li Miaoke did not notice it.
“You want to pursue love? Is there anyone you like?” Huo Quan asked faintly.
“No, not yet!” As someone being raised by Huo Quan, Li Miaoke could instinctively sense that Huo Quan was not in a good mood. She quickly shook her head and said, “The ultimate reason why I don’t want to marry you is that I don’t think I’m worthy of you. You’re so outstanding, and you’re the head of the Huo family. But I’m just a young high school student. I…”
“But you’ll be the hostess of the Huo family after we get married. Then you will become a dignified person.” Huo Quan looked calm as he said it, and no one could not tell whether he was happy or angry from his dark eyes.
Li Miaoke was speechless. For a moment, she lost her words to refute him. Meanwhile, Huo Quan thought that her silence meant that she agreed. Therefore, he made the decision. “Then, it’s a deal. We’ll get engaged on your eighteenth birthday.”
Li Miaoke looked at him in confusion. What?! Why did he suddenly decide to get engaged with her? Did she agree with that?
Huo Quan’s lips curled as he said, “We’ll go back to your place tonight.”
Li Miaoke nodded in a daze. Yet, after she nodded, she suddenly realized what Huo Quan had said. “Wait, wait a minute! What did you say just now? Go back to my place? Why are you going to my place?”
Huo Quan swept the dust on his suit pants that didn’t exist in the first place and slowly moved closer to Li Miaoke. Li Miaoke couldn’t help but lean back, raised her hand, and gestured at Huo Quan to stay away. “If you have something to say, then just say it. Don’t get so close to me.”
Huo Quan acted as if he didn’t hear anything and continued to approach Li Miaoke. Just as Li Miaoke was about to get up and dodge him, Huo Quan said faintly, “Miaoke, if you continue to avoid me, I’ll get angry.”
Li Miaoke froze on the spot. She wasn’t afraid of anything except Huo Quan getting angry!
“Brother Huo…” Whenever Li Miaoke called Huo Quan like that, she meant to have admitted defeat. And Huo Quan’s heart would be softened every time he heard her call him that way. Unfortunately, Huo Quan did not let her off this time. As Li Miaoke looked at him with a shocked gaze, his tall body slowly pressed her down. Before Li Miaoke could react, his lips suddenly pressed against her soft lips…
