Chapter 638: 403 Destroy the Blind Date: Snatch the Cellphone, Pull the Little Hand_2

“Alright.”

Shen Shuci admitted that the man Xi Fangli introduced was decent, but she felt no spark, and there was nothing

she could do about it. However, out of politeness, she could only be courteous.

Watching the two of them leave, the Huo family was already panicking...

This Yu Wei and their Jinsang were completely different people. He was sociable, whereas someone might barely

get ten words out of Jinsang during a whole meal with Shen Shuci.

Miss Shen and Mr. Yu seemed to be “enjoying their conversation” quite a bit. And now, as a “lone man and a lone

woman” heading to the courtyard of the Jiang family, which was right next to a small grove—practically a dating

sanctuary.

Anything could happen...

The walls of their house were about to be brought down.

“Xiaohuo, stay for dinner tonight. | haven't eaten with you in so long.” The old lady smiled at Huo Qinqi.

He nodded in agreement.

“I really wonder how those two are getting along? Now that | look at them, they seem rather well-matched.”

With the two concerned parties gone, the old lady felt free to express her thoughts.

“Yu Wei is a good kid. Anyway, Shuci will definitely not suffer following him,” Xi Fangli said with a smile, “It’s just

that this girl is a bit cold in temperament, | don’t know what Yu Wei thinks of her.”

“From the moment she cin, that young man’s eyes were practically glued to her. | think they have a

chance.” If she could facilitate a good match in her own household, the old lady naturally would be happy to see

it happen.

“Though Shuci is young, she is mature and stable, and also beautiful. | think that young man is quite satisfied

with her.”

“He was a bit nervous at first, but later it was he who kept finding topics to talk about. You can tell by the way he

speaks—he’s interested. Don’t worry, this matter has promise.”

After hearing the old lady’s words, Xi Fangli smiled in relief, “I'll take your good words to heart.”

Huo Qingi lowered his head and took a sip of his tea. The tea had long since gone cold, but taking it down burned

like fire...

It was harsh on the throat, uncomfortable!

ok

On Shen Shuci’s side, although she agreed to the elder’s request for a stroll, their lack of familiarity made the

situation somewhat awkward. Fortunately, Yu Wei was good at making conversation, helping to reduce the

embarrassment.

“Miss Shen, no need to be nervous. Just think of it as making a new friend.”

Yu Wei was indeed very satisfied with her. He had always liked mature, quiet, and independent girls, and Shen

Shuci nearly met all his requirements.

“Mhm.” She nodded her head, as her phone in her pocket vibrated twice which she then took out to look.

A message from Huo Qingi: [Need help?]

Shen Shuci wasn’t foolish; she understood what he meant. But in this situation, what could he do to help her?

[How can you help?]

However, after sending the message, it vanished like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any response.

Moreover, being alone with Yu Wei and staring at her phone was not very polite, so she put the phone back into

her pocket and ignored it.

Back in the living room, Huo Qingi glanced at the message on his phone, then walked out with his phone in hand.

He always acted decisively and unpredictably, and with his special profession, unless he spoke of it, even Jiang

Jinsang wouldn't ask about his actions.

Xi Fangli continued discussing with the old lady whether Yu Wei and Shen Shuci were suitable, while Jiang

Jinsang, uninterested in the conversation, went to help in the kitchen.

“Why did you cin? Where is Huo big brother?”

“He might have to reply to swork-related calls, so he went out with his phone.”

“He’s always so secretive,” Tang Wan said with a laugh.

After all, few inquired about Huo Qingi’s affairs.

The people of the Huo family assumed he had simportant phone call. Though they followed him out, they

kept their distance, as they couldn't listen if it was a work-related call.

But following him outside, they saw him scanning the front courtyard before heading straight to the back.

Not far along, they spotted Shen Shuci and Yu Wei, with their backs to him, facing a magnolia tree, seemingly

deep in conversation...

Approaching the enemy quietly, lying in ambush, and concealing oneself were all part of the essential training.

Coupled with the rustling of the wind through the trees and the dimming sky casting mottled, slanting shadows,

as he approached, neither of the two noticed.

The Huo Family members stood not far away, frowning slightly.

“Do you guess what our master is going to do? Duel with that man?”

“Then he might end up dying a pretty gruesdeath.”

“He and Miss Shen aren't that sort of item yet, so what's he doing rushing over there? After all, the other guy is

her matchmaking candidate, our master doesn’t have any official standing...”

The people of the Huo Family murmured to themselves, suddenly feeling that their master, when it cto Shen

Shuci, seemed to have no standing at all.

Had it been an ordinary situation, Shen Shuci might have noticed his approach, but she truly did not know how

to handle such a scene and was racking her brains to find a way out. Yu Wei, however, was still speaking

eloquently, requiring her attention, so she didn’t notice the person behind her getting closer and closer.

“Miss Shen, how about... we exchange contact information? If you're free this weekend, I'll treat you to dinner.”

“You don’t usually have many recreational activities, and it’s not too good to always stay at home. I'm always

running business trips and am quite familiar with Beijing; | know a few restaurants that are very good.”

Yu Wei was very direct, not at all hiding his fondness for her.

Finding a suitable match on a blind date wasn’t easy, so naturally, he wanted to seize the opportunity.

Shen Shuci was somewhat aloof by nature, so he could only be more initiative.

Shen Shuci nodded politely and just pulled out her phone when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone

approaching. As she looked up in a daze, a long arm reached out from behind her and directly snatched her

phone away.

Only then did Yu Wei notice Huo Qingi, “Huo sir?”

The people of Beijing, even if they did not know him, had certainly heard his name, and moreover, he had

greeted Xi Fangli after entering the house.

“How did you get over here?” Shen Shuci had sent him a message, and then he hadn't replied. She never

thought he would cin person.

“Do you need her contact information?” Huo Qingi looked toward Yu Wei.

The man was too tall, his back against the setting sun, and as day turned into night, the overlapping light and

shadow cast a sinister hue over the entire woods.

His huge figure loomed over, and that sense of oppression made it hard to breathe.

He was utterly unconcerned about exerting a formidable presence over him.

“We're just...” At this moment, Yu Wei was a bit dumbfounded. “Just chatting.”

What was he jumping out for?

“You might as well talk with me.”

As he finished speaking, Huo Qingi suddenly reached out and took hold of Shen Shuci’s...

Tightly clutching in his hand, domineering and possessive display.

Shen Shuci was bewildered, while Yu Wei was even more frightened.

Yu Wei was not stupid. The words he had just said were not quite right, and now this action was even more...

“1, 1, well...” Yu Wei was clearly in a state of disarray.

Honestly, Huo Qingi was probably someone he could never cinto contact with in his life. The Hexi Huo

Family, they were quite legendary. What was going on now?
