Only the three of them were in the office, and Huo Xunzhou was standing silently at the side. When Lin Shanchu said those words, the office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
However, this silence only lasted for two seconds.
Shortly afterwards, Lin Suguang said calmly, “Yes.”
His expression was unusually calm without any sign of lying.
The more flawless he was, the more Lin Shanchu found it strange.
She did not know that her uncle could control his emotions and expressions so easily, as precisely as a designed precision instrument.
Huo Xunzhou did not interrupt their conversation and walked over with two glasses of water.
When he placed the glass of water in front of Lin Shanchu, he reached out and held her shoulder in a comforting voice.
“Drink some water.”
Lin Shanchu still frowned as she nodded slightly.
Huo Xunzhou reached out and stroked the creases between her eyebrows. Then, he turned around and placed another glass of water in front of Lin Suguang.
Right after the glass was put down, Lin Suguang said unhappily, “I want hot cocoa.”
Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes.
Lin Suguang had been acting strange after waking up from his injuries.
Even Lin Shanchu did not drink something as sweet as hot cocoa, but Lin Suguang wanted to drink it?
“Alright.” Huo Xunzhou responded in a low voice and went to call someone to bring in a cup of hot cocoa.
Soon, the hot cocoa was served.
Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu sat side by side, watching Lin Suguang drinking hot cocoa with relish.
Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked him softly, “Do you think there’s something wrong with my uncle?”
Xunzhou replied, “Yeah.”
Lin Shanchu continued, “He’s been in this state after he returned home. His taste has changed drastically. Do you think he might have been possessed?”
“I don’t think a plot like soul possession would appear in an angst novel,” Huo Xunzhou said after a moment of contemplation.
Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she asked, “So what’s the problem?”
Huo Xunzhou’s eyes were fixed on Lin Suguang.
“You have to ask him.”
After finishing the hot cocoa, Lin Suguang looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu staring at him.
He said seriously, “You two can come closer.”
Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice, “Why should we get closer?”
Lin Suguang raised his eyebrows and looked like he did not want to talk to Huo Xunzhou. “Just come closer already.”
Lin Shanchu looked at Lin Suguang in shock.
Wasn’t he a little too arrogant?
Although her uncle was a little picky about Huo Xunzhou before, his attitude towards Huo Xunzhou improved a little after he found out that Huo Xunzhou had acquired Lu Corporation and given it to her.
When both parties met with their guardians last time, her uncle and Huo Xunzhou had a drink and the two of them got along well.
Although some things had happened in the between, her uncle’s attitude towards Huo Xunzhou should not have changed so much all of a sudden.
Huo Xunzhou gave her a look, trying to signal her to calm down.
He asked Lin Suguang calmly, “What happened on the day of the cocktail party?”
“I don’t remember.” Lin Suguang yawned, looking sleepy.
When Huo Xunzhou was about to ask another question, Lin Suguang closed his eyes and crossed his arms, as if he was ready to sleep.
Huo Xunzhou stared at Lin Suguang for two seconds before pulling Lin Shanchu to the side. “Is he like this at home?”
‘Yes.”
Lin Shanchu told Huo Xunzhou about his unusual behavior at home.
Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said cautiously, “I know a good psychiatrist. I can take your uncle there if necessary.”
Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu were indeed family. They gave her the same idea.
Lin Shanchu shook her head lightly without a word.
When she was at home, she had some doubts about Lin Suguang, but she was more inclined to believe that there might really be something wrong with his mind.
However, Lin Suguang took her to see Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was not restricted by the plot despite the presence of a third person, so she thought that this matter was not that simple.
“Uncle asked me to come and find you.”
Lin Shanchu briefly explained how Lin Suguang had asked her to go on a date with Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou glanced in Lin Suguang’s direction.
Lin Suguang leaned back on the sofa as if he had fallen asleep.
Even though he was asleep, he did not relaxed his crossed arms and sitting posture.
“If we can locate Lu Shiyuan, we may be able to find out what happened after the cocktail party on that day, but…” After a pause, Huo Xunzhou continued, “I haven’t heard from Lu Shiyuan.”
After Lin Suguang’s accident, Huo Xunzhou had been arranging for people to look for Lu Shiyuan.
However, there was no news of Lu Shiyuan after several few days of searching.
At night, the three of them went out for dinner.
Lin Shanchu handed the menu to Lin Suguang, and he ordered several plates of desserts.
A couple was dining at the table next to them. They kissed each other and were extremely intimate, whereas Lin Suguang watched them with relish.
After he finished watching the couple, he turned to Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou and lectured them. “Watch and learn.
Lin Shanchu asked, “Learn what?”
Lin Suguang replied, “You guys should do what you should do in a relationship.”
Stunned, Lin Shanchu asked, “Here? Now?”
Lin Suguang hurriedly nodded.
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
Huo Xunzhou made a fist and placed it against his lips as he chuckled.
Fortunately, a waiter came over with desserts.
Lin Shanchu said hurriedly, “Uncle, the desserts you ordered are here. Hurry up and eat.”
She did not mind kissing someone under the watch of the onlookers, but at least she wanted the atmosphere.
After that, whenever Lin Suguang wanted to speak, Lin Shanchu would frantically put food on his plate.
“Eat!”
Lin Suguang, who was arrogant when talking to Huo Xunzhou, was gentle and obedient in front of Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu told him to eat, so he obediently continued eating without saying anything.
After dinner, Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang home.
“Call me if you need anything,” Huo Xunzhou instructed Lin Shanchu when they arrived downstairs.
“Got it,” Lin Shanchu responded and was about to turn around and leave, but Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand.
“What are you doing?” Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion and asked, “Is there anything else?”
After glancing at Lin Suguang who was playing on his phone, Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.
He let go of Lin Shanchu with a smile on his face.
He inadvertently looked up and met Lin Suguang’s gaze.
Lin Suguang smiled as he looked at them with sparkling eyes.
The smile on Huo Xunzhou’s face gradually faded and his expression darkened.
Then, he looked down at Lin Shanchu and said, “Shanshan.” “Hmm?”
“Can you ask Yun Wu to come and stay with you for a while?”
