Chapter 748: He’s Never Lost Control Like This in His Life
Borrow his chef for a bit?Isn’t that the same as saying, borrow his woman?
Huo Tingzun grumpily refused, "No way..."
Unexpectedly.
Xiao Bailu squeezed to the door, her eyebrows curving with a charming smile, "Hey handsome, do you need a chef? How much per hour?"
The young man outside the door also laughed, "Sure, however much you want, I can pay. Money is not a problem."
The young man spread his hands, "After all, here I’m just a rich man."
Xiao Bailu laughed so hard she almost bent over, "Hahaha, you’re really funny, handsome."
Young man: "So, pretty chef, do we have a deal?"
"Deal!"
Xiao Bailu said, clapping her hands and walked off with him.
Huo Tingzun stood there flabbergasted, watching as a stranger effortlessly took Xiao Bailu away, it was simply absurd.
But, to openly ask her to stay, he couldn’t swallow his pride.
He slammed the door in frustration.
Returning to the couch, he took a big gulp of West Lake Longjing tea.
Only to scald himself and splatter it all over the coffee table.
He took a deep breath, feeling like he had never lost control like this in his life.
Damn it, why should he care who this silly woman goes with?
She can act foolish if she wants, best if she gets abducted and sold off and never returns—just as well, he’s been wanting her to quit, can’t stand her hanging around, now he finally gets his wish.
He huffily turned on the TV to the news channel.
It was all about Qingcheng and its dire conditions.
Patients.
Expert teams.
Overcrowded hospitals.
A severe shortage of vegetables and daily necessities.
As Huo Tingzun watched.
A thought involuntarily drifted through his mind.
"Vegetables have increased tenfold in price, yet this silly woman goes to cook for people for a bit of money? Asking how much per hour as if she’s selling herself. Can she have some dignity?"
Then another thought drifted by.
"What kind of meal is she cooking for that dandy? Braised pork rice? Or a dish I haven’t tried?"
And then a string of thoughts followed.
"What will they do after eating?"
"Will she stay and eat with him?"
"Doesn’t she cook quickly, why isn’t she back yet?"
"She must be flirting with the guy!"
Huo Tingzun couldn’t stand it any longer and turned off the TV with a "click".
He started heading towards the door.
But, he paused just after opening the door.
Was he going to knock on the door downstairs?
Just to bring her back?
Huo Tingzun, have you gone mad?
Realizing he was about to do something even more out of control, Huo Tingzun stood stiffly at the door, his always handsome face looking a bit stormy.
As a high-profile lawyer, a CEO controlling the fate of an entire group, he couldn’t allow himself to become an out-of-control man.
He stood there in silence for a long time before slowly turning back, each step back indoors feeling unbearably heavy.
He even forgot to close the slightly ajar door.
Who knows how much time passed.
The sky was completely dark, stars twinkled through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
The door was finally pushed open with a "creak—".
"Huh? Why is the door open?"
"And no lights on?"
"Is the jerk not here?"
Xiao Bailu walked in puzzled, flipping on the crystal light in the living room with a "click".
And then she saw the silent man sitting on the sofa.
She let out a scream, seeing it was Huo Tingzun, she held her chest, "Damn, why are you sitting there like a zombie with no lights and door open, I thought we got robbed."
She sighed in relief and was about to head to her bedroom.
But heard Huo Tingzun chuckle coldly, "Jerk?"
