Chapter 8

Mrs. Huo, are you in love with me?

“Who hit you? Is there anyone else here besides me?”

Ye Beisheng sighed and put down her chopsticks. The moment the housekeeper stretched out her arm, Ye Beisheng kicked her away. Ye Beisheng’s voice was filled with desolation as she said, “If you don’t want me to spew any nonsense, then get lost. You came so early in the morning to annoy me. Did you think that I didn’t have enough time to exercise, and you’ve decided to volunteer as part of my warm-up routine today?

“Plus, you couldn’t even take a soft kick from me, don’t you think that you’re a little too useless? I was excited about nothing.”

“You … once the Ninth Master wakes up, he will never let you get away with this!” The housekeeper roared angrily.

Ye Beisheng replied unhurriedly, “There’s nothing I can do about it. Whose fault is it that he is still asleep? I’m going to sleep with the Ninth Master, you’re not coming with me, are you?”

Ye Beisheng pushed open the door of the master bedroom. The housekeeper’s eyes seemed to be filled with poison, but she didn’t dare make a sound that could awaken the Ninth Master and left with an ugly expression.

Ye Beisheng snorted softly as she looked at the man on the bed. She then recalled what the housekeeper had just said.

She couldn’t help but feel angry, and then slowly, she showed Huo Shiting her middle finger.

“It’s already so late and you’re still sleeping. Did you get control of the Huo family’s business by sleeping with them?”

Huo Shiting’s heart suddenly itched.

Ye Beisheng did not come in because the housekeeper had challenged her authority.

Instead, she wanted to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

She narrowed her eyes and stood by the bed, slowly moving closer.

Huo Shiting… should be fast asleep, right?

It shouldn’t be a big problem for her to kiss him while he was asleep.

Ye Beisheng’s mind was in a dilemma. On the one hand, the Ninth Master would undoubtedly expel her if he discovered she had secretly kissed him. On the other hand, she had her mind fixed on enjoying her delicious breakfast. Ye Beisheng finally gritted her teeth.

She would be able to coax him if he got mad.

Being able to taste something was a solution that she could only discover by chance.

Ye Beisheng took a deep breath and planned to leave after a quick kiss. She did not expect, however, that as she leaned over and her lips were about to touch his…

Huo Shiting opened his eyes.

The man’s eyes were filled with laziness, and his voice was low and hoarse, “Mrs. Huo, what are you doing?”

Ye Beisheng’s mind instantly went blank.

There was still a cold touch on her lips. She was bending over, and her head was so muddled that she didn’t know what position to assume. She just laid on Huo Shiting and looked at him for a few seconds.

“Mrs. Huo?” Huo Shiting repeated himself.

Ye Beisheng’s face was filled with embarrassment. She did not know why, but she suddenly felt nervous, as if she had been caught having an affair with her husband.

But what was there to be afraid of?

The housekeeper outside kept calling her a vixen, so she had to do something that lived up to that title, right?

Ye Beisheng gulped and smiled guiltily under his oppressive gaze. “Can’t you tell? I’m trying to improve our relationship as a married couple.”

Huo Shiting’s adam’s apple bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice, “I remember that Mrs. Huo was madly in love with Huo Yanling yesterday, and today you want to improve our relationship. Could it be that Mrs. Huo has fallen in love with me so soon?”

Ye Beisheng’s smile froze for a moment, and her face immediately turned red. She straightened her neck and closed her eyes as she spoke with a death-like tone.

“Ninth master, what on earth are you saying? Is there anyone who didn’t love a few scumbags when they were young? I’ve realized that you’re a thousand times better than Huo Yanling! Isn’t it normal for me to fall in love with you?”

Huo Shiting sneered and didn’t seem to care about her.

Although Ye Beisheng had yet to kiss him, staying in the room was obviously not a good choice.

She gave a stiff smile and got up carefully.

However, she didn’t expect to lose her balance and accidentally fall back into his arms.

Huo Shiting’s voice was deep and hoarse. “You’re trying so hard to come back into my arms. Mrs. Huo, you must have fallen in love with me.”
