Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 15 She Gives Him a Different Feeling

"Mr. Huo, what do you mean by telling the truth? Every word I've said is true. As for going to the hospital, I don't need to. People like me, born into a poor background, aren't that delicate. My leg feels much better now, I can drive myself home. Goodbye!" Lin Banxia cautiously and carefully scanned the man's deep eyes, then tugged at the corners of her mouth to force a smile as she spoke.

But she was terrified that her guilty demeanor would once again be seen through by this man.

"My grandmother seems very concerned about your injury. If I don't take you to the hospital for a checkup, I'm afraid I won't be able to give her a proper explanation." Before Huo Yanting finished speaking, the cigarette between his thumb and index finger was flicked straight out the window. The engine roared to life, and the black Bentley shot out from the gilded gates of the Huo Family mansion.

Lin Banxia's face turned pale with fright. She bit her lip tightly, lowered her eyelids, and her eyes darted about uneasily.

What should she do?

She was going to be entangled with this Huo Yanting—how could she get rid of him?

He was deliberately making things difficult for her, demanding she tell the truth. This man was truly terrifying.

She'd thought she could trick everyone and that her acting was convincing enough.

Yet everything had been seen through by Huo Yanting, and her immature tricks probably weren't even worth noting in his eyes.

"Stop the car! I really don't need to go to the hospital. Let me out!" Lin Banxia panicked as the Bentley sped onto the main road, heading toward the city's hospital at breakneck speed.

She was scared—terrified. She had just faked her fall intentionally. It was a staged fall. Her leg didn't even have a scratch, let alone a fracture.

If they went to the hospital, the truth would be completely exposed. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

All the scenes she'd performed for the Huo Family would be ruined, and once Huo Qinglin found out she did it on purpose, he'd probably beat her to death.

"Tell me the truth, and I'll help you keep up your act." Huo Yanting's tone was cold and hard, leaving no room for negotiation.

His words completely stunned Lin Banxia. She turned her head, her black, bright eyes fixated on his impossibly handsome and chiseled profile.

"How did you figure out I was acting?" At this point, pretending to be naive was pointless.

Clearly, everything about her had already been thoroughly seen through by this man.

A sense of defeat surged within her.

Lin Banxia bit her lip in frustration. Why did this man have to be so sharp? Couldn't he just leave her a way out?

"First, your expressions are too exaggerated. Second, your stupidity is far too obvious."

"You..." Lin Banxia had been called stupid many times in her life, but somehow, this man calling her stupid stung the most, making her feel especially indignant.

The man slammed his foot on the brake. The car lurched to a sudden stop by the roadside.

His sharply defined, strikingly handsome face turned toward her, and those narrow, deep, enigmatic eyes glinted teasingly, as if mocking her—"Are you proud of how ridiculously stupid you are?"

"Huo Yanting, am I paying back a debt from a previous life? Is that why you're mocking me like this?" Lin Banxia ground her teeth in fury.

Watching her puff up like this, the man glanced at her fair and delicate little face now tinged with a rosy hue, her lively, clear eyes flickering with flames.

Vivid. Fiery. Full of defiance.

There weren't many women who could catch Huo Yanting's attention, but oddly enough, this woman—without stunning beauty or extraordinary talent—managed to pique his interest.

"Lin Banxia, are you ready to tell me now why you're targeting my cousin?" Huo Yanting's thin lips curved into a cryptic smile.

Lin Banxia only found this man far too dangerous and decided she had to stay away.

Thus, she resolved not to tell the truth.

But lying wouldn't work either—this man's sharp eyes would catch on immediately.

"I didn't deliberately target him. I brought him a hot water bottle because I genuinely couldn't afford anything else." Lin Banxia put on an earnest expression.

"You're my cousin's girlfriend, for better or worse. Doesn't he give you any money?" Huo Yanting scrutinized her, trying to distinguish truth from lies.

"He's always buying me this and that, but he hasn't given me any cash." Lin Banxia responded honestly—Huo Qinglin sent her gifts, but no money.

"You can't just ask him for it?" Huo Yanting took a second look at her, almost impressed.

"I don't have the face to ask. I'm not a beggar. Besides, even if he gave me money, I'd still have to consider whether to accept it." Lin Banxia suddenly felt noble and righteous. Yes, from now on, she wouldn't take a penny of Huo Qinglin's dirty money.

"Are you trying to show off your pitiful dignity to me now?" Huo Yanting sneered derisively.
