Chapter 33 - 33: Not Daring to Be Presumptuous on His Turf
Huo Anya looked flustered at this moment. She quickly wiped away her tears and hurried toward Mrs. Huo's estate.
Huo Qinglin also stepped out of the main hall, his cold gaze fixed intently on the opulent, three-linked luxury villas not far away.
That was Huo Yanting's home.
Huo Qinglin's eyes darkened with a sharp intensity as he strode briskly toward the grand entrance of Huo Yanting's villa.
Impatience overtook him, and he broke into a run.
At this moment, Huo Yanting, fully satisfied, was tidying himself up, his gaze lingering on the woman lying unconscious on the bed.
Her long, jet-black, waist-length straight hair was seductive, cascading over the pillow. It highlighted her flushed cheeks, still tinged with the remnants of passion, making her even more entrancing.
Her snow-white body was barely covered by a thin blanket draped around her waist. Her slender, fair legs and partially exposed upper torso teased the senses, reigniting the fire Huo Yanting had just managed to suppress.
His Adam's apple moved twice sensually as he swallowed, suppressing the rekindling flames within himself. He sauntered into the bathroom unhurriedly to cool off with a shower.
The ferocity of his actions moments ago furrowed his brows tightly.
He had lost count of how many times he had claimed her, as though unleashing every ounce of suppressed desire accumulated over his twenty-eight years directly onto her.
She had already fainted from exhaustion, yet he had not shown her any mercy.
It was only when he himself was utterly drained that he finally let her go, satisfied.
After showering, Huo Yanting threw on a gray bathrobe, planning to head downstairs for a glass of water.
Suddenly, a tall man strode into the doorway.
"Big brother, still awake so late?" Huo Qinglin asked with a hint of a grin.
Huo Yanting's expression remained as usual, calm and composed, but inwardly he sneered. He already knew the reason for his visit.
"Just finished up some work and was about to sleep," Huo Yanting replied with his usual impassive demeanor.
"I truly envy you, big brother, for the level of trust and respect you've earned from Grandpa," Huo Qinglin said absentmindedly, offering polite flattery that lacked any real sincerity. His sharp, calculating eyes subtly scanned the surroundings for any clues.
The living room was impeccably arranged, devoid of any disarray.
Huo Qinglin frowned ever so slightly, the anxiety within him mounting.
Perhaps Lin Banxia was in one of the rooms upstairs.
"Heard you've been pursuing the eldest daughter of the Lin Family. Quite the leisure pursuit, Second Brother," Huo Yanting remarked mockingly, not sparing him any pleasantries.
Huo Qinglin's expression shifted momentarily, but he suppressed his anger, maintaining a playful tone. "Big Brother has Grandpa's special favor. Naturally, I too want to seize any opportunities to contribute to the Huo Family."
"Having ambition is a good thing," Huo Yanting said, originally intending to head to the dining area for water.
Yet Huo Qinglin's arrival caused him to halt by the staircase. He leaned lazily against the banister, radiating a casual indifference.
"Big Brother, just finished showering?" Huo Qinglin masked his irritation and asked with a cordial smile.
"What exactly do you want to talk about? Get to the point," Huo Yanting snapped, not in the mood for small talk.
Huo Qinglin furrowed his brows slightly and joked, "Actually, it's a small matter. My girlfriend, Banxia, had a bit too much to drink at home and might have wandered into the wrong house in her stupor. I've been looking for her everywhere. I wonder if Big Brother has seen her?"
"Why would your woman be in my house?" Huo Yanting's expression darkened instantly. His sharp gaze was both commanding and intimidating.
Huo Qinglin let out an awkward chuckle, not daring to openly confront Huo Yanting.
"Of course, I trust Big Brother wouldn't have hidden Banxia. I just worry that in her muddled state, she might have accidentally stumbled into your room. Would it be alright if I went upstairs to check? I'm really worried about her," Huo Qinglin said cautiously, his sharp eyes closely observing Huo Yanting's reaction.
If there was even the slightest crack in his composure, Huo Qinglin would immediately confirm that something was going on between him and Lin Banxia.
Huo Yanting's expression sank further, his voice now icy cold. "What do you take me for?"
"Big Brother, don't misunderstand. I simply want to go upstairs and take a look," Huo Qinglin said, offering an apologetic smile at the sight of Huo Yanting's darkened face.
Huo Yanting, however, responded with a frosty chuckle, his stance unyielding. "What if I say no?"
"Big Brother, don't put me in a difficult position. We're family, after all. You know I'm genuinely worried about her. If, by chance, she disturbed your rest, that would be entirely my fault," Huo Qinglin said smoothly, though his heart trembled with unease.
Huo Yanting's refusal to let him search upstairs—wasn't that proof he had something to hide?
