Chapter 16

Lin Wan Bai's heart jumped.

He raised his eyes and focused. Sure enough, he saw the outline of a deep face and a pair of deep eyes.

There was the faint smell of tobacco in the air. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that there were cigarette butts on the ground that had not been burnt out. It seemed that they had just been thrown away in a panic.

Because Huo Chang Yuan caught her from below, there were two empty steps in between, and she was almost half-hanging from his body, with his arm wrapped around her sensitive waist.

When the skin on her waist made contact with the firm muscles of his forearm, that feeling of softness …

"Let me go!" Lin Wan Bai struggled.

Huo Chang Yuan also felt it, and his throat started to roll, "Is this how you treat your helper?"

Feeling the muscles in his arm tighten intentionally or unintentionally, with a feeling of friction, Lin Wan Bai was both embarrassed and annoyed, "Let go! "I told you to let me go …"

Huo Chang Yuan looked disdainfully at her for two seconds, then indifferently released her hand.

Lin Wan Bai never thought that he would suddenly let go of her hand. She, who was still struggling, immediately fell down the stairs, hitting her knees and elbows.

In his line of sight, he saw him squashing the cigarette butt on the ground with his leather shoes, picking it up and throwing it into the dustbin, looking down at her with his hands behind his back.

She knew that the blood in his bones was cold. She could tell from the day he could watch her cut her wrist and not stop!

When he endured the pain and wanted to stand up, Huo Chang Yuan suddenly extended his hand towards her without any warning.

Lin Wan Bai turned his head, but did not dodge, and heard his voice asking: "What happened to your face?"

She noticed that his fingers had brushed his long hair out of the side of his face. When he came to the hospital, afraid that his grandmother would be worried, she had untied her ponytail, exposing her swollen left cheek and the five fingers above it to his eyes.

When it moved slightly, it was touched by his fingertip. Aside from the pain, there was also an itching feeling that drilled into his heart …

Before Lin Wan Bai could understand where that itch came from, he heard him ridiculing him, "Another slap for money?"

"…" Her left cheek hurt even more.

The words hit her at the tipping point, and a wave of heat hit her on the forehead.

Thinking about it, it was all thanks to him. If it wasn't for him, Lin Yao Yao wouldn't have been jealous to the point of going crazy early in the morning, provoking Lin Yong Yi's wrath and causing trouble for him.

"This has nothing to do with you!" Lin Wan Bai suddenly slapped his hand away, and retreated a few steps to the side. After opening up a distance, he raised his head, and spoke word by word in front of the sunken eyes, "Mr. Howe, if possible, I hope that we will never meet again!"

Huo Chang Yuan silently watched her figure disappear into the corridor.

After a long moment, he took out a cigarette and lit it. As the smoke rose up, his eyes narrowed.

On the surface of the river, a luxurious cruise ship had broken a river of lights.

Every single suite here was comparable to a five-star hotel. Lin Wan Bai hugged a clean bedsheet as he turned and walked around a corner.

He knocked on the door and used the main card to open up the room.

The view inside was very spacious, and the guest standing inside had his back facing them.

He was very tall and sturdy, and he was on the phone, making monosyllabic sounds.

When Lin Wan Bai walked closer, the firm and resolute side of his face slowly revealed itself before his eyes. Even when facing the light of the lamp, his deep and serious eyes were still as deep as an ancient well.

She thought she heard the sound of someone slapping her face.
