Chapter 287: Wariness
Huo Tian did not understand what was going on. She did not know what Xi Cheng was planning to talk to Si Huan about, but he did not answer even if she asked. This piqued her curiosity even more.
Hence, Huo Tian could only ask Si Huan.
It just so happened that Si Huan was coming to the Ding Family’s house. Ding Rong had ordered customized clothes for the entire family. Ding Chen and Huo Tian’s dresses were a set. After the dance partner was changed, the clothes needed to be modified.
Hence, Si Huan came to the Ding Family’s house to do a fitting. Huo Tian changed into a gown and she stood together with Si Huan, who was wearing a suit. She was instructed by Ding Rong to walk around. The two of them were like dolls and had no right to rebut. They could only obediently let Ding Rong dress them up.
Huo Tian felt both helpless and bored. While Ding Rong was exchanging opinions with the designer, she quietly asked Si Huan, “What did Dad say to you? Why didn’t he tell me no matter how much I asked…”
Si Huan glanced at Ding Rong and realized that she was focused on talking to the designer and wasn’t paying attention to him and Huo Tian. He carefully whispered into Huo Tian’s ear, sounding aggrieved, “Uncle Xi warned me not to take liberties with you while we dance. Do you think I’m such an immoral person?”
Huo Tian was also very helpless. She sighed and said, “Seriously, how could Dad say this to you? It’s not like he doesn’t know your character. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Huo Tian could complain that Xi Cheng was making a mountain out of a molehill, but Si Huan didn’t dare to express his dissatisfaction towards Xi Cheng. Moreover, Xi Cheng was right. He had designs on his daughter to begin with, so it was even more impossible for him to go against him.
Because of his guilty conscience, Si Huan whispered to put in a good word for Xi Cheng, “Uncle Xi cares too much about you, that’s why he’s wary of any guy who appears in front of you. This is very normal.”
With that, Si Huan looked at Ding Rong, who was still busy. He couldn’t help but feel agitated and continued to speak suggestively in a soft voice, “If I had a daughter like you, I would also chase away all the boys who appear beside my daughter. For those who can’t be chased away, I can only diligently warn them not to have any thoughts that they shouldn’t have.”
After Si Huan said that, he saw a thin layer of redness appear on Huo Tian’s cheeks. Then, he was glared at by the girl whose cheeks were slightly flushed.
Huo Tian’s heart seemed to have been scorched by Si Huan’s words and his fixed gaze, and her face couldn’t help but heat up. She threw a glare at Si Huan, but from the smile on Si Huan’s face that didn’t reduce in the slightest, Huo Tian realized that her glare didn’t seem to have any lethality.
She added, “You mean that you have thoughts that you shouldn’t have?”
“Uh…” Si Huan met Huo Tian’s fixed gaze and his expression, which had always been calm and collected, also fluctuated slightly. He had long had such thoughts and he didn’t have a shy personality, so he nodded and admitted Huo Tian’s questioning without any embarrassment, “That’s right, I have thoughts that I shouldn’t have. That’s why Uncle Xi is so wary of me. ”
Si Huan’s gaze seemed to be filled with warmth. Huo Tian felt her cheeks, which were already slightly red, become even hotter. Under Si Huan’s anxious gaze, Huo Tian was the first to be defeated and she averted her gaze.
Looking at Huo Tian’s fair and flushed cheeks, Si Huan felt that his fingertips were a little itchy. He couldn’t help but raise his arm, wanting to touch the flushed skin on her face. However, when the delicate touch of the girl’s skin came into contact with his fingertips, Si Huan realized in time that his action seemed to be too rude. He quickly pretended to be tidying Huo Tian’s hair and tucked a strand of hair by her cheek behind her ear.
Huo Tian couldn’t help but shudder then glare at Si Huan angrily and shyly.
The atmosphere between the two of them gradually increased in intimacy..
