Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 524 - 505: Make Him Recognize His Place

Nightfall arrived, and after having dinner at Mrs. Huo’s residence, Lin Banxia walked back to the villa alone.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows beside her, blocking her path.

As soon as Lin Banxia saw him, she knew who he was. She stared at him warily, "Huo Qinglin, what do you want now?"

Under the streetlight, Huo Qinglin gazed at her luminous, delicate face, and felt an overwhelming urge to step forward and kiss her.

"Banxia, I love you... I really love you!" Huo Qinglin, drunk at the time, saw Lin Banxia as breathtakingly beautiful. He couldn’t resist the impulse to hold her tightly and kiss her fervently.

Lin Banxia quickly stepped back several paces, anxiously looking around, then snapped angrily, "Huo Qinglin, are you out of your mind?"

"I *am* out of my mind, Lin Banxia. I can’t forget you, and it’s tormenting me!" Huo Qinglin hastily moved several steps forward, his arms almost grabbing her shoulders. Lin Banxia ran away in panic.

"Huo Qinglin, stop right there!" Lin Banxia was furious. She hadn’t expected Huo Qinglin to act drunk and cause trouble here again.

Huo Qinglin, having completely lost his sense of reason, took several long strides to block her way. The next second, he had forcefully pulled Lin Banxia into his arms.

His lips incessantly tried to meet hers, but Lin Banxia struggled furiously, refusing to let him succeed. "Huo Qinglin, if you dare to hurt me, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life."

Just as Lin Banxia felt she was nearing a breakdown, a sudden angry shout rang out: "Qinglin, what are you doing? Let go of your sister-in-law!"

It was Mrs. Huo, accompanied by several servants. She had just remembered to discuss the betrothal gifts and was planning to look for Lin Banxia.

Unexpectedly, midway there, she saw her younger grandson gripping Lin Banxia tightly, clearly intent on misbehaving. Mrs. Huo was livid.

"Go! Pull this vile brat off her for me!" Mrs. Huo, trembling with anger at Huo Qinglin’s refusal to let go, immediately ordered the servants around her.

Lin Banxia was stunned with fear. Seeing Mrs. Huo approach made her even more uneasy.

Two servants walked up and used all their strength to pry Huo Qinglin’s hands away from Lin Banxia.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" Huo Qinglin yelled furiously, his eyes red with rage.

Lin Banxia anxiously stepped in front of Mrs. Huo, "Grandma, he... he’s drunk!"

"I know that!" Mrs. Huo’s face was dark with anger. She then turned to another servant nearby and said, "Go bring me a basin of water. Wake this little bastard up for me!"

The servant immediately went to find a basin, quickly returning with ice-cold water.

"Mrs. Huo, should we really pour it?" The servant hesitated, knowing Huo Qinglin was the second young master.

"Pour it!" Mrs. Huo, thinking of what he had just done to Lin Banxia, barked the command without hesitation.

The servant poured the water directly onto Huo Qinglin’s face. The icy shock instantly cleared Huo Qinglin’s clouded mind.

"Grandma, it’s so cold!" The first thing Huo Qinglin felt after snapping back to clarity was the chill—so cold it felt as if his bones were about to shatter.

Mrs. Huo angrily struck his leg with her cane. "Unfilial child, do you even realize the vile act you just committed?"

"It’s just holding her, kissing her—that’s all! I remember everything!" Huo Qinglin retreated several steps after being hit on the leg with the cane.

Mrs. Huo trembled with rage. "Banxia is your elder brother’s wife, your future sister-in-law. You despicable, disgraceful thing! If I catch you behaving improperly toward Banxia again, I’ll beat you to death!"
