Chapter 313: She Was Indeed Notorious for Her Misdeeds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu never expected to hear such words from Huo Xunzhou, especially when he spoke so seriously.

Lin Shanchu helplessly asked, “Am I such an irresponsible person in your eyes?”

Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows, revealing an intriguing smile.

He did not say anything accusatory.

However, he looked at her as if he was looking at a heartless woman.

Lin Shanchu reflected on what she had done to Huo Xunzhou.

When she kissed Huo Xunzhou to extend her life, it was true that she did not want to take responsibility and just wanted to be a freeloader.

It was her fault.

Later. she thought that she did not want to hold Huo Xunzhou back because

her days were numbered. Hence, she did say a lot of hurtful things to him.

Thinking of this… She was indeed notorious for her misdeeds.

Lin Shanchu sat up straight and spoke slowly after careful consideration.

“I don’t think it’s a good time for an official announcement, but we can tell our friends about our relationship first. What do you think?”

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Huo Xunzhou’s expression.

“That works too.” Huo Xunzhou looked like he was going to settle for second best, making Lin Shanchu feel like she had mistreated him.

“There’s no time like the present. How about we treat them to dinner tonight?” Although Huo Xunzhou sounded like he was asking her, he already picked up his phone and was about to make a call.

There was nothing wrong with his words. She had nothing else to do tonight anyway.

Therefore, Lin Shanchu nodded.

“Alright.’

Then, Lin Shanchu watched as Huo Xunzhou made a series of calls on his phone.

He made phone calls to Nan Mu, Yun Wu and even Li Mo.

When Huo Xunzhou made the last call, his tone was particularly boastful, but Lin Shanchu couldn not guess who it was.

However, she did not ask further questions.

After Huo Xunzhou finished the call, he looked at her with a smile and reminded her gently, “Your turn.”

Lin Shanchu felt like she was being pushed to the edge.

Huo Xunzhou and her circle of friends overlapped severely.

Other than Qi Cheng and He Xiang, the only person Lin Shanchu needed to inform was Wen Huan.

Wen Huan answered the call enthusiastically.

When Lin Shanchu invited him to dinner in the evening, Wen Huan agreed without hesitation.

She phoned Qi Cheng and He Xiang, but she could not get through. They were probably discussing something on the phone.

When Lin Shanchu returned home after meal, she realized that there was no one at home.

She called He Xiang.

This time, He Xiang finally answered the call.

“Sister Lin?”

“Where did you go?”

“I… just went out to buy something.”

Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that He Xiang’s tone was a little off, so she asked, “When are you coming back?” “I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu called Qi Cheng.

“Brother Qi, let’s have dinner together tonight. I have something important to tell you.”

“Alright.”

“Oh right, Brother Qi…”

“Is there anything else?”

Lin Shanchu wanted to ask if He Xiang had looked for him, but in the end, she bit her tongue. “It’s nothing. See you tonight.” He Xiang returned home shortly afterwards.

He Xiang bought a lot of things.

Xiang had bought a lot of things that she did not lack.

Lin Shanchu rummaged through the fridge and said calmly, “I haven’t eaten the yogurt I bought last time, and there’s still a lot of beef…”

He Xiang was someone who had a subsistence lifestyle and had a lot of life experience. Every time she went shopping, she would buy whatever the house lacked.

“So there’s still more… I forgot.” He Xiang was a little annoyed.

Lin Shanchu smiled. “It’s fine. If you hoard more, you can go out less.” After packing up the things, He Xiang started cleaning.

Curling up on the sofa, Lin Shanchu held the remote control to change the channel.

WHen He Xiang came over to wipe the coffee table in front of Lin Shanchu for the third time, Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but stop and size her up.

He Xiang was focused on wiping the coffee table, as if she did not realize that she had wiped the coffee table twice.

After she finished wiping the coffee table, she went to wipe the shelf next to her again.

There was something wrong with He Xiang.

She was absent-minded.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at He Xiang for a while. Only then did He Xiang sense her gaze and look up at her.

“Sister Lin, what did you say?”

Lin Shanchu clearly did not say anything just now.

“Let’s go to Yong Shui Pavilion for dinner tonight.” Lin Shanchu chuckled.

He Xiang paused before she asked, “Can I not go?”

“Just go.” Lin Shanchu advised, “I have something important to discuss with Teacher Huo.”

He Xiang, who had been depressed for the entire afternoon, finally cheered up.

“Great!”

At night.

When Lin Shanchu and He Xiang went to Yong Shui Pavilion, Nan Mu and the others already arrived.

Yun Wu stood up and came over as soon as she saw Lin Shanchu.

“Shanshan!”

Yun Wu sat down beside Lin Shanchu and complained to her softly, “Third Brother suddenly called me to have dinner with him. I almost rejected him. He didn’t even tell me that you would be coming.”

“I would have called you if I had known earlier,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.

Yun Wu asked, “What do you mean?”

The door to the private room was pushed open again. The person who came in this time was Wen Huan.

“It’s lively, isn’t it?”

Wen Huan still had a camera hanging in front of his chest. It seemed that he had taken photos of some celebrity for scandals.

He Xiang sat beside Qi Cheng and whispered something to him.

Lin Shanchu smiled and waved at Wen Huan. Then, she reached out to support the chair beside her. “Come quickly and sit.’

Wen Huan hugged his precious camera and sat down. “You’ve got something good to announce?”

‘You really understand me too well,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.

“What good news?” Yun Wu asked as she leaned over.

Lin Shanchu replied, “You’ll know when your Third Brother comes.”

“Huo Xunzhou?” Wen Huan asked.

Seeing Lin Shanchu’s nod. Wen Huan’s face revealed a look of understanding.

He then replied indifferently, “Oh.”

Ever since Huo Xunzhou wormed information out of him last time, Wen Huan felt that the image of his idol had collapsed and he was still a little unconvinced.

Wen Huan carefully examined Lin Shanchu for a moment before asking softly, “How have you been recently?” “I’m pretty good.” “You look much better.”

“Really?”

Lin Shanchu touched her face in surprise.

At this moment, Yun Wu called out from the side, “Third Brother!”

Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou being pushed in by Li Mo.

Chu Gushen also came in with Huo Xunzhou.

“Lawyer Chu.” It turned out that Huo Xunzhou made the last call to Chu Gushen in the afternoon.

“Miss Lin.” Chu Gushen’s smile was a little forced, as if Huo Xunzhou had forced him to come over.

Yun Wu stood up and gave up her seat to Huo Xunzhou.

“Are you close to Lawyer Chu?” Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou in a low voice.

Huo Xunzhou did not comment. Instead, he turned to look at Chu Gushen and said, “When we get married, he will be the first one to receive an invitation.” Lin Shanchu was speechless. Why did he talk about marriage again?

There was a moment of silence in the private room.

“You guys…” Nan Mu asked.

“We’re dating,” Huo Xunzhou said solemnly while holding Lin Shanchu’s hand..
