“Hey! Actually, there’s nothing much to see!” ×
Huo Chubai wanted to refuse, but under Fu Jingyuan’s unfriendly gaze, he couldn’t quite hold his ground.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand over his phone.
“Ahem, Jingyuan, whatever you see, stay calm. Honestly, this really isn’t my fault. I truly didn’t seduce your Ranran. Look, we only became friends this morning.”
“So please don’t blame me!”
“After all, I’m eight or nine years older than her. I’m not shameless enough to be an old cow eating tender grass.”
Huo Chubai’s self-deprecating remark was originally aimed at himself!
But the next moment, he received a look from Fu Jingyuan as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to kill him.
“Ahem, Jingyuan, what’s with that look? I wasn’t talking about you! Unless you, an old man, have those kinds of thoughts about your Ranran?”
Fu Jingyuan, having been hit where it hurt, glared even colder.
When he saw the chat box on the phone where Ji Ran had sent a message, the pent-up frustration in his heart surged up instantly!
What on earth was that little thing sending?
To a man she had just added this morning, asking such an intimate question about what to wear—if that wasn’t wagging her tail to seduce him, what was?
If she dared to ask about clothes now, would she be rolling into bed with him in a few days?
Fu Jingyuan was about to explode with anger!
Why had his Ranran never looked at him like that?
Both he and Huo Chubai were “old men” nine years older. What was he lacking?
Perhaps sensing the fury and menace in Fu Jingyuan’s gaze, Huo Chubai, remembering that the other was on the hunt for a “wild man,” quickly raised his hand to clarify further.
“Jingyuan, you have to believe me!”
“Your Ranran and I really only started chatting today. As for why she sent me such a message, I truly have no idea!”
“Besides, she just turned eighteen. I’m not interested in inexperienced young girls like her. I prefer her older sister—that kind of world-weary, aloof beauty. Chasing someone like that is much more exciting!”
Huo Chubai had been pursuing Ji Nanjin for a long time, but she kept him at a distance, treating him as just a friend, seemingly unmoved.
Huo Chubai was also quite talkative.
He steered the conversation back to Ji Nanjin.
“Jingyuan, tell me, who was the scumbag who broke Ji Nanjin’s heart back then? You’re so close to the Ji Family. Give me some detailed intel, won’t you?”
Unfortunately, Fu Jingyuan’s heart was occupied solely by Ji Ran, and he had never paid the slightest attention to any other woman.
So, Huo Chubai only received two extremely cold responses.
“I don’t know!”
“No comment!”
“Jingyuan, you…”
Huo Chubai wanted to say more—
But he saw Fu Jingyuan’s eyes, red and fixed intently on the chat box with Ji Ran.
Ding. Ji Ran sent another message.
“Mr. Huo, tell me, what type do you like?”
Fu Jingyuan felt like he was about to be driven mad by Ji Ran!
He had initially wanted to type “I like the obedient type,” but suddenly thinking of something, he sneered and replied on Huo Chubai’s behalf with a few bold words.
“I like the sexy type.”
Huo Chubai!!
He was a bit frightened. “Jingyuan, what are you doing? I never said that!”
“Don’t do this. What if your Ranran really dresses like that later?”
“Then I’ll break her legs!”
Almost as soon as Fu Jingyuan’s cold sneer faded, ding—the little girl on the other end of the phone cheerfully replied with a “Okay.”
“Sexy? Hehe, Mr. Huo, you’re in for a surprise.”
Huo Chubai: “…”
He suddenly felt a bit sorry for Ji Ran.
What a poor girl, doomed to her fate.
This was no pleasant surprise—once she met Fu Jingyuan, it would surely be a fright!
