Chapter 1874: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (78)
Xia Cha pulled Huo Heng’s hand away from her face. When she let go of his hand, her fingertips brushed against his palm.
Huo Heng felt his scalp go numb.
“Little girl, I couldn’t tell that you were this bad.”
Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng’s charming eyes and smiled. “You can tease me, but I can’t tease you?”
Huo Heng looked into her eyes and said lovingly, “Sure, as long as you’re happy.”
Huo Heng started the engine and drove the car out of the hospital.
“It’s getting late. Come home with me.”
Xia Cha shook her head.
“Hotel?”
Xia Cha shook her head even faster, “I’m waiting for my brother to go home together. I’ve been out for a day. Mom and Dad will be worried.”
“Make a call.”
“I did. I told them I’d be back tonight.”
Huo Heng turned the steering wheel. “I don’t know when Xia Chuan will be able to go back. I’ll send you.”
“There’s no need…”
Before Xia Cha could finish speaking, she was melted by his loving gaze. “Be good.”
Although he sounded a little like he was comforting a puppy, her heart felt sweet.
She acknowledged him softly.
She looked very obedient.
Huo Heng had never seen Xia Cha like this before. He wondered if she would still be like this when she remembered Xia Tang’s memories…
Huo Heng didn’t dare to think too much about it, afraid that he would overthink things. The hard-won sweetness was yet another dream.
On the way back to Wenfeng County, Xia Cha was a little sleepy.
Huo Heng asked her to lower the seat. He turned on the heater and played some light music. After a while, she fell asleep.
In her sleep, Xia Cha had a terrible dream.
She lay in the bathtub, the warm water turning red.
She felt pain, as if someone had stabbed her abdomen with a knife.
Just as she was about to suffocate from the pain, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Her forehead was covered in sweat.
After she fell asleep, her face was facing the car window. Huo Heng did not notice anything unusual about her.
Xia Cha turned to look at Huo Heng.
The faint yellow light from outside shone through the car window and landed on his well-defined handsome face, flickering between light and dark. She looked at his facial features and silhouette, her expression slightly dazed.
At that moment, she had a strange feeling toward him.
She seemed to have known him for a long time.
Xia Cha closed her eyes and thought carefully. They had known each other for four years.
It had been quite some time.
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha and saw her staring at him in a daze. He freed a hand from the steering wheel and held her hand. “What’s wrong?”
Xia Cha shook her head. “Nothing.” Not wanting to talk about that dream, Xia Cha asked, “When are you returning to Harbor City?”
“The flight leaves at eleven tonight. How about you?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
Xia Cha looked down at the man holding her hand and said softly, “Huo Heng, can we keep our relationship a secret for now?”
She had just started her career. If she were to be in a relationship openly, it would have a negative impact.
Naturally, Huo Heng had no objections.
Right now, he was still investigating the culprit who had harmed him back then. If he wasn’t careful, he would be in danger. He didn’t want to implicate her again.
“Okay.”
Hearing that Huo Heng agreed without any hesitation, Xia Cha pinched the back of his hand and said, “Do you want to keep it a secret? After you get together with me, you’re not allowed to indulge in debauchery like before.”
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha’s angry little face and couldn’t help but smile evilly. “I didn’t expect Little Camellia to be so possessive of me.”
…
The car drove to Wenfeng County’s Southern Mountains, where Xia Cha’s house was.
Xia Cha and Huo Heng got out of the car.
“You still have to take the plane later. Hurry and go back!” Xia Cha waved at Huo Heng. “We’ll meet in Harbor City.”
Huo Heng walked up to Xia Cha and opened his arms. “Hug me before you leave.”
Xia Cha looked into the room and saw that the lights were not on. They should be resting. She blushed and jumped into Huo Heng’s arms.
Her heart beat faster when she smelled his refreshing scent.
Huo Heng held Xia Cha’s waist tightly, his thin and firm jaw resting on her slender shoulders. “Little Camellia, pinch me. I’m really afraid this is just a dream!”
His girl had kissed him today, hugged him and had even said she liked him!
Xia Cha pinched his strong arm.
Feeling the pain, not only did he not show any discomfort on his face, but he even gave a flirtatious smile. “Little Camellia, the feeling of having a beautiful dream come true is so freaking awesome.”
Before Xia Cha could say anything, she was lifted up by Huo Heng’s strong arms.
He carried her around in circles.
One round, two rounds, three rounds…
Xia Cha’s head was spinning. “Huo Heng, you can be happy, but don’t do this. I’m dizzy…”
“Then I’ll use another way.”
He bent his head and kissed her.
…
Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi were not asleep. They had heard the sound of a car parked outside and came out to take a look.
Seeing Xia Cha and Huo Heng…
The two of them hurriedly entered the house. Who would have expected Xia Zhenyuan to bump into a chair and make a sound?
Xia Cha clenched her fists and pushed the man away. “Go back.”
“Your parents seem to be awake. I’ll go in and greet them…”
“Don’t do that. There will be chances in the future.”
Huo Heng knew that Xia Cha was shy when it came to relationships, so he did not make things difficult for her. He looked at her lovingly and said, “I’m leaving.”
“Okay, be careful.”
Huo Heng returned to the car. When he left, he saw Xia Cha standing in the yard until the car disappeared.
To him, today felt like a dream.
His girl finally had feelings for him.
…
The next day.
Xia Cha finished her breakfast and went to the orchard to find Xia Chuan.
Seeing that Xia Chuan was wearing a mask and hat, she walked over and took off his hat and mask. Seeing the bruises on his face, her eyes widened slightly. “Brother, who beat you up like this?”
Xia Chuan didn’t want to say it at first, but under Xia Cha’s interrogation, he had no choice but to say, “Last night, I sent Miss Zhou home. A few young men wanted to take advantage of her, so I fought with them.”
“What happened after that?”
“I knocked those people out and sent Miss Zhou home.”
“That’s not right. I remember that you didn’t come back last night.”
“I…” Xia Chuan touched his head and his handsome face turned red.” Miss Zhou treated me as her boyfriend. She hugged me and refused to let me leave. ”
“Oh, I understand.”
“Cha Cha, don’t think too much.”
“Brother, you’re blushing so much at the mention of Miss Zhou. Are you…”
Before she could say that he was in love, Xia Chuan interrupted her, “No, no!”
“I haven’t even said anything yet. Why are you so anxious to deny everything?”
“Cha Cha, how did you become so bad?”
“Brother, if you like her, you should woo her. Miss Zhou has fallen out of love. You should interact more with her and accompany her. Perhaps, she will have feelings for you!”
“Cha Cha, don’t talk nonsense. Miss Zhou is from a wealthy family. I don’t deserve her.”
…
After the New Year’s Day holiday, Xia Cha returned to Harbor City.
Sister Jin called her to the company. “Cha Cha, it’s Star King Entertainment’s annual party in a few days. Have you prepared a gown?”
