Xu Ying clenched Huo Chen's collar with both hands, her whole body pressed against him. She could clearly hear Huo Chen's heartbeat, pounding non-stop just like hers.
Xu Ying's face grew increasingly hot. After steadying herself, she quickly pushed away the man holding her, her cheeks red as cooked shrimp.
Huo Chen wasn't much better off. He breathed heavily, suppressing the ripples in his heart, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Be careful when walking."
Xu Ying, panicked like a little deer, her eyes dazed, quickly nodded her head and followed Eldest Sister-in-law Xu back to the Zhao Family.
Huo Chen followed her, "I'll come to see you tomorrow, and we'll take down the Wu family together."
Xu Ying turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of estrangement, "I can do it alone."
Huo Chen said nothing, turned around, and his broad back disappeared into the snow.
Xu Ying held the umbrella in her hand, only then remembering she hadn't returned it to Huo Chen.
