Huo Jiling looked at Li Muyao’s fair and smooth hand and then at her slightly squinted eyes. He froze for a second and reached out his right hand to shake hands with her. “Hi, I’m Huo Jiling. A pleasure to meet you.

“I fully support your strong defense and counterattack just now.

“Girls should indeed pay attention to their safety at all times. You did a great job!”

“Correct, correct! Hahaha, I told you I was just defending myself. If I hadn’t punched him, I would be taken advantage of! Hehe, I’m glad you didn’t think I’m a violent girl.

“Oh right, would you like to testify for me?

“He harassed me!”

Since the guy agreed and supported her beating the jerk.

Li Muyao was immediately emboldened. To give the jerk a lesson, she must start from the things he was afraid of.

Hehe, she suddenly seemed to have found the way to take revenge on Qin Bing, the jerk who kept pestering her in her previous life.

“Manager Qin, I think you need to apologize to Miss Li Muyao. When you have the chance to meet again in the future, you should keep a safe distance of two meters from Miss Li Muyao.

“Do you think I’m right?” Huo Jiling turned around with his back facing Li Muyao. His handsome face, which smiled warmly at Li Muyao, immediately became serious. He even stared at Qin Bing without the slightest bit of temperature in his eyes and there was no room for Qin Bing to reject him in his words.

“Right, right, right, Mr. Huo, you’re right. I’m sorry, Miss Li.

“It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have had any evil intentions towards Li Muyao. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.

“Next time, I’ll definitely make a detour when I see Miss Li.

“No, right now. I’ll leave right away. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Qin Bing was frightened by Huo Jiling’s fierce gaze and was drenched in a cold sweat. What cute pretty girl? What love at first sight? His life was more important!

Huo Jiling was a young master from Jin City. Even Qin Bing’s parvenu father couldn’t afford to offend him, let alone an incapable trust-fund baby who deceived little girls like him.

Qin Bing kept apologizing to Li Muyao, saying that he was sorry and he would leave now. He even bowed ninety degrees to Li Muyao. He ran away with the speed and the messy, wretched look as if he was chased by a wild predator, escaping the dangerous area.

Li Muyao was completely dumbfounded. The psycho Qin Bing had pestered her for a few years in her previous life, forcing Li Muyao to change her working location a few times. In the end, she went from the South to the North to avoid him. Before she died, Qin Bing still kept sending packages to her salon to scare her from time to time, saying that he would be her boyfriend for the rest of his life.

That crazy jerk in her memory, who she couldn’t get rid of even if she beat him and scolded him, was easily scared away by something this handsome guy said?

Did that make sense?

Besides, this handsome guy, Huo Jiling, didn’t say anything harsh to Qin Bing, that crazy jerk.

Why… This was inexplicably a bit… Um, Li Muyao just felt so unfulfilled?

No, it didn’t feel like that as well. What was that?

The jerk Li Muyao couldn’t avoid and get rid of in her last life ran away just like that once she was reborn before she could officially do anything?

“Are you okay?”

Huo Jiling saw Li Muyao space out looking in the direction where Qin Bing left, so he couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of her to bring her attention back.

Nobody saw Huo Jiling clench his right fist behind him anxiously as if he was trying to retain the warmth left after he shook Li Muyao’s hand just then.

Li Muyao looked at his brown eyes under the glasses as she blinked and immediately smiled. “I’m okay. I was just startled by that so-called Manager Qin just now.

“I’ve never thought being pretty is so dangerous.” Alright, Li Muyao must admit that she was a bit thrilled when this handsome guy protected and supported her after he saw her beat Qin Bing, that jerk.

She was really worried that he would see her as a violent girl.

Li Muyao was actually a pretty, gentle fairy.

“Yes, girls should protect themselves all the time. Being harassed like that, they should fight back bravely like you did. Of course, if there are a lot of people, it’s safer to call the police for help first.

“Oh, is it not so good if I call you Muyao?”

Huo Jiling asked the girl in front of him with a shy and nervous look. His body even froze for a second when the girl looked at him.

“No, no, just call me Muyao. Besides, my name is for people to call me! Your hands look really good. Hehe, do you want to sit here and rest for a while together?

“Just now, I saw that you helped the elderly shampoo their hair like me.

“You’re quite professional.”

Li Muyao had always had a natural good feeling towards people who seemed friendly at first sight, not to mention the handsome guy in front of her, Huo Jiling, was wearing the same sportswear as her. He also had a sense of justice and he fully supported Li Muyao to protect herself bravely as she was a beautiful girl. He even asked her to fight back using violence.

Hm, and he had a cute baby face.

Hm, and a beaming smile like the sun.

Hm, and a pair of beautiful hands.

Huo Jiling listened to what Li Muyao said and sat opposite to her, but he immediately stood up again once he sat down. “Muyao, wait here for a while. I’ll be right back.”

Li Muyao saw Huo Jiling run away quickly and then run back again with a small medicine box in his fair, slender arms. He put it in front of Li Muyao.

Huo Jiling knelt before Li Muyao. He opened the medicine box with his strong fingers and took out a bottle of unknown cream. He explained to Li Muyao as he applied it on her hands, “This cream was made by my grandma. It doesn’t have a strong smell, just a little floral fragrance. It’s especially effective if you use it as a hand cream. You girls should like it.”

A simple smearing action seemed extraordinarily elegant when Huo Jiling did it.

When Huo Jiling’s warm and slender fingers left Li Muyao’s palms, she even put her hands near to her nose and smelled after hearing what Huo Jiling said. Her eyes immediately brightened. “Oh God! It’s the smell of rose and jasmine, my favorite!”

“I’m glad you like it, Muyao. I’ll give you a bottle. I still have a lot at home. There aren’t many caring, kind, and hardworking girls like you. It’s worth the money for you to use this to protect your hands.”

Huo Jiling took out a white porcelain bottle from the small medicine box and put it in Li Muyao’s hands with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Li Muyao couldn’t even say something polite to reject him.

In the end, Li Muyao could only accept it and say thank you to him, until Color Hair ran over with anxiousness on his face, destroying the romantic atmosphere around Li Muyao and Huo Jiling.

“Sister Yao, are you okay? I heard that a wretched man harassed a pretty girl here just now. I thought you’d be the most beautiful girl among everyone here today, so I was worried something happened to you.

“Are you alright?

“Sister Yao, who is he?!!!”

Color Hair knew about Li Muyao’s fighting skills, but he was still worried that Li Muyao would be taken advantage of.

When he ran here to have a look, he saw Li Muyao sitting so obediently and quietly. With her pretty face, she stared at the hands of the man kneeling in front of her like a crazed fangirl.

Yes, Color Hair also knew that Li Muyao had a little-known quirk.
