Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering - Chapter 1844
Chapter 1844: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (48)
The man’s thin and handsome jaw was tensed, revealing a complicated emotion.
He exhaled the smoke slowly, his eyes looking even more narrow and deep.
It was obvious that he was unhappy.
“Get in.” He flicked his cigarette ash and went to the driver’s seat first.
Xia Cha stood by the car door and looked at his well-defined side profile through the lowered window. “Why are you looking for me?”
Huo Heng glanced at her and said patiently, “Get in.”
Xia Cha looked into his sharp eyes. She had the feeling that he would not let her go if she did not get into the car.
Xia Cha frowned. She had no choice but to open the car door and get in.
Almost as soon as she fastened her seatbelt, the car sped away.
Xia Cha pursed her lips and looked out of the window.
There was a moment of silence before the man broke it. “Do you like that boy?”
Xia Cha was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what he was talking about. She looked at him and asked, “Who said that I like him?”
“Why are you smiling at him if you don’t like him?”
Xia Cha glared at him and scolded him in her heart.
She was just smiling out of courtesy. Did he mean that smiling meant that she liked him?
Xia Cha did not want to discuss this with Huo Heng. She turned her head to look out of the window again.
Seeing that she was silent, Huo Heng glanced at her.
He glanced at the card in her hand and raised his eyebrows slightly. “What are you holding?”
“It’s nothing.”
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha, who still did not like him after a year. He pursed his thin lips slightly and said, “Little Camellia, don’t forget that you are my fiancée.”
At the mention of the word fiancée, Xia Cha felt extremely disgusted.
She did not like him at all, so how could she possibly want to be his fiancée?
“Young Master Huo, it’s been a year since you asked me to be your fiancée. I really don’t like you…”
Huo Heng interrupted her, the corner of his lips curling into an incomprehensible arc. “You’re still young, you don’t know what liking someone is.”
“What are you holding?” Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha’s beautiful side profile. “It’s okay if you don’t tell me. I can ask that boy.”
In the past, Xia Cha wouldn’t have believed that he would really ask Senior Qi Ran.
However, ever since someone confessed to her a few months ago, that same boy started taking a detour when he saw her the next day. She guessed that someone was watching her every move in school.
She hadn’t asked Huo Heng directly, so she didn’t know what he had done. After all, no one liked to disturb her, and she was happy to have peace.
“There’s a singing competition tomorrow afternoon. Senior knows that I like singing, so he gave me an address and told me to attend the preliminaries.”
When she was still Xia Tang, she liked to sing. Back then, she studied drawing in university and later entered the entertainment industry to be a singer and actress.
She simply loved this career.
But she didn’t have Xia Tang’s memory and was still a young girl around 16 years old. She didn’t know how complex the entertainment industry was.
“Are you planning to go?”
Xia Cha bit her lip and nodded. “I want to go.”
Huo Heng remained silent.
If she only worked in Yan City, he could protect her with his current status and ability.
He was afraid that she would leave his side before he became stronger.
Huo Heng pursed his scarlet lips and didn’t say anything else.
Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng’s serious side profile, not understanding why he was unhappy.
This person was becoming more and more unpredictable!
Huo Heng parked the car in front of a newly opened western restaurant in Yan City.
He had booked a private room before he came.
The manager came forward and led Huo Heng and Xia Cha to the private room.
When Huo Heng stopped the car just now, he saw a few Rolls-Royce limousines parked at the entrance. He asked the manager, “Are there guests?”
The manager replied, “The boss brought them here personally. I don’t know who they are either.”
Huo Heng nodded.
When they passed by a private room, the door opened just in time for the waiter to bring them drinks. Huo Heng glanced inside.
Huo Heng froze.
The owner of the restaurant was not receiving someone Huo Heng was familiar with.
That person was still the same as two years ago. Handsome, mature, noble, and exuding the masculine charm of a mature man.
He was wearing a custom-made white shirt with a stiff collar. When he raised his hand, his expensive cufflinks glistened under the light.
He sat at the head of the table, looking elegant and noble, like a king who ruled this world. The people around him could only bow down to him.
“Young Master Huo, what’s wrong?” the manager asked in a low voice when he saw Huo Heng’s dark expression.
The door of the private room was already closed by the waiter. Huo Heng retracted his gaze and turned to look at Xia Cha.
“I still have something on, so I won’t be having dinner here tonight. I’ll pay for the fees.”
Huo Heng grabbed Xia Cha’s wrist and walked out quickly.
Xia Cha was confused.
Huo Heng’s grip on her wrist was rather strong. She tried to break free from his grip but couldn’t.
“Young Master Huo, have you gone crazy again?”
They walked out of the restaurant.
He shoved her into the car.
There was a bruise on Xia Cha’s fair and slender wrist.
She furrowed her brows, feeling a little annoyed.
Huo Heng sat in the driver’s seat and didn’t start the engine immediately. He held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a cigarette from his cigarette box with the other. After lighting the cigarette, he puffed out smoke.
He had not expected to meet the Huo Family in Harbor City so soon.
He used to have a good relationship with Third Uncle, but later, the latter had fallen in love with Xia Tang too.
He could feel that Xia Tang had a good impression of Third Uncle.
If he hadn’t met Xia Tang first and had a relationship with her before, Xia Tang wouldn’t have rejected Third Uncle’s confession and proposal!
Whether it was Xia Tang in the past or Xia Cha now, she had told him that he was not her type.
It was not that he did not understand that she liked men like Third Uncle!
How many secrets and dark secrets were hidden behind the wealth and power of the Huo Family in Harbor City? Who wanted him dead?
One day, he would definitely figure it out.
However, he was not strong enough to return to Harbor City!
If he was given a few more years, he would definitely be able to develop the Huo Corporation of Yan City into a large corporation, a listed company!
However, before that, he could not let Xia Cha have any contact with the people in Harbor City, especially Huo Third Master.
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha. The little girl looked more and more like Xia Tang now. Her skin was fair, her eyebrows were thin, and her eyes were delicate and classic. He wondered how similar she would be in a year or two when her facial features were fully developed…
Those who were familiar with Xia Tang might be able to find a trace of her in Xia Cha very soon after interacting with her.
“Little Camellia, don’t go for the first round tomorrow.”
In the past two years, Huo Heng had been paying attention to the Huo Family in Harbor City. The entertainment agency under Huo Third Master would organize singing competitions every year. Huo Third Master had come to Yan City personally this time, perhaps to select a batch of singers.
