Lu Ning looked at him. She was flustered, but she looked calm on the surface.

“Teacher Huo, there’s no way you can explain yourself if you’re seen like this.”

Huo Jinyan looked at her and took a step closer.

“There’s no need to explain.”

His voice was low.

Only then did Huo Jinyan understand—that even if you tried your best to avoid suspicion, rumors would still spread. Even if there was nothing, people would still say all kinds of things.

He had thought that letting go was the best choice to protect her.

However, he did not expect that sometimes, some people would believe what they had only imagined.

If that’s the case, why should I be so conflicted?

If they would eventually treat her like that, then so be it.

There has to be someone by her side to protect her and love her, so why can’t it be me?

Would they do better if I left it to someone else?

Might as well do it myself and protect her with all my might. Can I not protect her?

He could not give her up to others, nor did he want to.

I will never let go of this person in front of m e!

Lu Ning looked at him. She still did not understand what he meant and did not know what he wanted to do.

Her back slowly pressed against the wall, and the hand at her waist felt warm.

“You still haven’t forgiven me?”

Lu Ning was stunned and looked at him.

Huo Jinyan leaned closer again. “Are you still angry?”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. She pushed him with her hands on his chest and blinked helplessly.

Then, she looked up at him. “Teacher Huo…”

Huo Jinyan stared at her with a burning gaze. Lu Ning could clearly see her reflection in his eyes.

Huo Jinyan turned his head, his voice and breath brushing against her ear.

“I won’t be your teacher for much longer.”

When Lu Ning heard his deep voice say this, she felt an itch behind her ear.

Lu Ning looked at him in all earnest.

For some reason, Lu Nings heart raced.

You won’t be my teacher anymore… ? So what?

She did not understand.

However… if he was no longer a teacher, there was so much more he could do.

Huo Jinyan brushed away the hair in front of her eyes. His movements were slow and gentle, his feelings unspoken.

Lu Nings fingers trembled slightly when she saw his actions, and she gradually lost her strength.

She suddenly choked, unable to say a word.

She suddenly realized that she could not handle Huo Jinyan like this.

Huo Jinyan’s fingers touched her ear, and his voice came again. “You asked

Jingzhi to call me Uncle?”

Lu Ning was stunned. The sudden change in topic caught her off guard.

“Huh?”

She subconsciously let out a voice.

For some reason, looking at Huo Jinyan at this moment, Lu Nings calmness was gone.

She blinked and asked softly, “Is there something wrong with that?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her and smiled.

He leaned closer to look at her, his breath spraying on her face.

“Of course there is.’

His voice was slightly raised at the end. He was very close, and his ambiguous aura enveloped Lu Ning.

It made her drift off for a moment.

Huo Jinyan looked at the necklace in her hand and took a step back. Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he picked up the necklace in his hand and gently undid it.

The next moment, he walked over again and put the necklace on her neck. The cold touch made Lu Ning subconsciously shudder her shoulders.

Huo Jinyan’s closeness made her hold her breath again.

He stood very close to her as he fastened the necklace on the back of her neck, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

His gaze landed on her smooth back.

From this angle, he could see a faint scar on her back..
