Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 448 - 423: Jun, Were We Acquainted Before?
Suddenly, Huo Shaojun let out a cold laugh, tossed away the cigarette butt in his hand, and turned to walk out of the bathroom.
His gaze, indifferent and barely noticeable, swept over the woman sitting with her knees hugged on the sofa. Huo Shaojun didn’t walk over but instead headed straight toward the study.
"Huo Shaojun!" A woman’s tear-choked hoarse voice sounded from behind him.
Huo Shaojun paused, tilted his head, and looked at her coldly.
Jian Liangtong’s shoulders trembled as she bit down on her swollen lips, staring at him with resentment, "This is rape! I’m going to report you!"
"Rape?" Huo Shaojun laughed, though the laughter was extremely cold and cruel, "With fingers?"
"..." Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes flashed with humiliation but were also extremely disgusted by the cruelty and sarcasm on his face at this moment. She said through clenched teeth, "Yes, you..."
"But the one who enjoyed it was you." Huo Shaojun sneered contemptuously.
Wha-what?
Jian Liangtong’s eyes widened.
"Have you ever seen a rapist whose motive for committing the crime is to please others rather than himself?" Huo Shaojun said.
"..." Jian Liangtong nearly burst into tears.
This is clearly a strong argument! Twisting words and forcing logic!
"Huo Shaojun, how can you be so shameless!" Jian Liangtong covered her eyes, crying in accusation.
He made it sound as if she was willing for him to "please" her with his fingers. Isn’t that shameless!
Listening to her crying, Huo Shaojun eventually frowned, pursed his lips, and refrained from saying anything more to provoke her, yet he didn’t leave either.
Jian Liangtong vented for a while, then suddenly got up from the sofa and walked straight toward the door.
Huo Shaojun’s brow furrowed tightly, and he took a few quick steps to clasp her arm from behind.
"Let go of me!"
Jian Liangtong reacted more intensely. At the moment Huo Shaojun grabbed her arm, she used all her strength to shake him off and continued toward the door.
Huo Shaojun’s handsome face suddenly turned somber, and he stepped forward once more, gripping her arm, and growled, "What are you causing a scene about?"
"I can’t afford to provoke you, but can’t I avoid you? I’ll stay far away from you! From now on, wherever you, Huo Shaojun, are, I’ll avoid it. I’m afraid of you, I’m afraid of you, is that enough?" Jian Liangtong’s emotions collapsed, but when she turned to look at Huo Shaojun, her eyes were calm. This kind of calmness wasn’t good!
Huo Shaojun stared at her trembling face, taking several deep breaths.
Aware that what he did to her earlier today was excessive, and his attitude afterward somewhat contributed to her current extreme and uncontrollable emotions.
Closing his eyes briefly, Huo Shaojun frowned at her and said with a hoarse voice, "Stop making trouble, it’s too late today. I’ll send you away tomorrow."
Tomorrow?
Jian Liangtong’s long eyelashes fluttered quickly. She reached up to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes and said through sobs, "I want to leave now."
The sound of Jian Liangtong’s voice was unusually hoarse, like an innocent child who had suffered a great grievance, still heavily nasal, pitiful.
Huo Shaojun noticed her emotions weren’t as intense as before, and his tone softened, but the tears still wouldn’t stop falling, revealing she was holding back her temper.
His heart ached fiercely. Huo Shaojun swallowed down a lump in his throat, gently pulled Jian Liangtong’s wrist to bring her into his arms. Before Jian Liangtong could struggle, he held the back of her neck with his other hand and said softly, "I said it’s too late today. I won’t be at ease if you go back alone."
He suddenly turned gentle, whispering tenderly to her. The grievance in Jian Liangtong’s heart only intensified. Her eyes pressed against his shoulder, sobbing densely, "Huo Shaojun, have we met before?"
Huo Shaojun’s breathing paused for a moment. His cold eyes slowly lowered as he looked at the little woman crying against his chest, his voice husky, "Why do you say that?"
"Sob..."
Jian Liangtong accidentally let out a sob, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand. After sobbing for a while, she barely managed to suppress it, let go of her hand, looked up at him and said hoarsely, "I’ve thought long and hard, and that’s the only possibility. We’ve met before, and I must have offended you. That’s why you hate me, or even... despise me.
You want to take revenge on me, and then you humiliate me like this, and even try in every way to make it impossible for me to survive in the entertainment industry."
Huo Shaojun frowned, "Do you really think I’d do such a low thing?"
"You’ve already done it, yet you won’t admit it. Is it fun for you?" Jian Liangtong stared at him.
Huo Shaojun squinted his eyes, offering no explanation.
If she was convinced he’d done it, then he had done it, right?
Anyway... he didn’t care!
"Think whatever you want."
Huo Shaojun abruptly released her, took a step back, and returned to his indifferent, distant demeanor that kept people at arm’s length.
Jian Liangtong was stunned, a sense of desolation surging in her heart as she pulled her lips bitterly, "Forget it, whether it’s you or not, once Hou Wenxuan’s press conference is held, I’ll be completely banned from the entertainment industry. It doesn’t matter anymore."
Upon hearing that, Huo Shaojun’s eyes deepened slightly, and he said, "It’s late, so rest early."
Rest?
Just how big of a heart does she need to have to rest in peace?
Jian Liangtong lowered her head, her back leaning against the door panel, slowly sliding down as she hugged her knees, burying her head between her legs, speaking in a muffled voice, "You can go rest. I’ll leave on my own when dawn breaks.
Also, if I’ve offended you before, I apologize. After I leave here tomorrow, I’ll keep my promise not to appear in front of you. If we happen to run into each other, I’ll turn around and leave immediately."
At this moment, Jian Liangtong felt powerless, even with a light on above her, she only felt darkness.
She didn’t know what she did to provoke the man in front of her; perhaps the reason was hidden in her lost five years of memory, but who’s to blame for her not remembering? She accepted it!
The moment her feet suddenly hung in the air, aside from her body instinctively stiffening, Jian Liangtong remained very quiet.
Huo Shaojun lowered his eyes to look at her, but she stubbornly shut her eyes tightly, refusing to meet his gaze. Glancing at her tightly pressed pale lips, Huo Shaojun furrowed his brows and carried her towards the bedroom.
It was already the latter half of the night after all the commotion, and Jian Liangtong, showing a reckless demeanor, no longer planned to cause trouble.
So when Huo Shaojun carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed, then he too lay down beside her, Jian Liangtong showed no objection.
She turned her body, facing her back towards Huo Shaojun, and closed her eyes at ease.
Huo Shaojun stared at the back of Jian Liangtong’s head, her soft breathing proving that she was by his side at this moment, yet the position of his heart felt painfully empty.
Jian Liangtong actually wasn’t as calm and composed as she appeared; she couldn’t sleep, her ears involuntarily perking up slightly, listening to the movement behind her.
A hand suddenly placed on her left chest, inside there seemed to live a restless deer, jumping all the time.
There was sparse noise behind her, a heat source slowly approached her back.
Her waist was enveloped by a long arm reaching from behind, suddenly pulling her into his strong chest.
Jian Liangtong’s back stiffened slightly, and her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, her breathing slightly erratic as she looked back.
Something warm and moist lightly touched her ear, causing goosebumps to rise on her arm, hearing him say, "Sleep."
Jian Liangtong felt a dry throat, the heart under her palm beat faster and faster, beyond her control.
Jian Liangtong closed her eyes in terror, what’s going on?
Jian Liangtong didn’t shut her eyes all night; as dawn broke, she tried to remove the long arm that had been draped over her waist all night, but as soon as her fingers touched the firm arm, her waist suddenly tightened.
"Sleep a bit more." The man’s sleepy, lazy voice came from behind.
Jian Liangtong’s fingers paused on his arm, her head turned slightly as she softly said, "I want to go to the bathroom."
"..." The man furrowed his brows, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clearly irritated.
Jian Liangtong’s lips trembled, her voice diminishing even more, "Urgent."
Huo Shaojun, his face taut, released his arm, turning his back to her with evident irritation.
Jian Liangtong pouted, got off the bed, and headed to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Jian Liangtong finished her business, stood in front of the wash basin, turned the tap on, and splashed cold water on her face.
She glanced at the white and blue rinsing cups on the wash basin, her eyes paused at the white cup for a second, Jian Liangtong slightly lowered her lashes and walked out of the bathroom.
Exiting the bathroom, Jian Liangtong glanced towards the bed, seeing the man who had turned over intending to continue sleeping now sitting on the bedside smoking sporadically, making her jump.
Huo Shaojun cast her a gloomy glance, took a heavy drag of his cigarette, and crushed the butt heavily into the ashtray.
Jian Liangtong watched, suddenly feeling her neck ache, as though he was grinding her neck instead of the cigarette butt.
A full-grown adult, and still this grumpy upon waking?!
Jian Liangtong inwardly complained, quickly escaping the master bedroom.
Huo Shaojun, seeing this, was expressionless, stood up, and walked to the bathroom.
Huo Shaojun walked from the bedroom to the living room, seeing Jian Liangtong already standing at the entrance with her bag, holding the remote control.
His cold eyes turned chilly, Huo Shaojun walked to the fridge, opened it, took out a bottle of soda, unscrewed it, and drank most of it with his head tilted back, his drinking posture was slightly cool!
Jian Liangtong felt somewhat embarrassed, her face reddening to the point of dripping blood, awkwardly looking at Huo Shaojun, her tone extremely embarrassed, "That, um, this remote is pretty advanced, huh."
It’s just a remote control, yet she didn’t know how to use it?!
She pondered for ages and couldn’t manage to open the door, eventually being caught red-handed!
Jian Liangtong’s forehead could be written with two words: shameful!
Huo Shaojun glanced at her insipidly, knowingly asked, "What are you doing with a remote control?"
"..." How could Jian Liangtong not know he was deliberately mocking her?
So she refused to yield, stubbornly saying, "I’m studying it."
Huo Shaojun nodded, walked to the coffee table in front of the sofa, bent over to pick up a black iron box that held cigarettes, opened it, took out two batteries, and tossed them onto the coffee table.
Jian Liangtong stared at the two batteries on the coffee table for a few seconds, suddenly flipping over the remote control, prying open the back cover, only to find it empty, without batteries!
Jian Liangtong held her breath till her throat, but she had to endure it!
