Chapter 279: Mr. Huo Gets Jealous
Lin Banxia bit her lower lip, suppressing the bitterness inside, and said lightly, "I’m not hurt, weren’t you here to comfort me?""That’s far from enough..."
"It’s enough, this is enough!" Lin Banxia wasn’t greedy because she knew some outcomes were destined not to change. Her mood gradually calmed down.
Yan Ting lowered his eyes, his gaze deep and unreadable. His thin lips gently kissed her head, "I’ll make it up to you. What do you want?"
"What do you take me for?" Lin Banxia suddenly lifted her head from his embrace and then pushed him away.
Yan Ting was stunned!
Lin Banxia felt a slight turmoil inside, but her tone was very firm, "I don’t need your compensation, and you shouldn’t say this to me again in the future."
Yan Ting frowned. He understood this woman’s fiery nature. Did the word ’compensation’ just hurt her pride?
"Sorry... I didn’t mean it that way." He sighed slightly, flustered and uncertain about how to comfort her.
Lin Banxia hated this messy feeling, so she could only keep her voice steady as she responded, "It’s okay. Some things are destined not to change, and I’ve accepted that."
"What things can’t be changed? What are you talking about?" At this moment, Yan Ting focused on her every word and gesture, even her tone, leaving him at a loss.
Lin Banxia’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively bit her lip. What nonsense was she spouting? How could she let Yan Ting know the outcome?
"Nothing, I mean... Anyway, the rumors about your engagement are out, and I won’t think too much about it. Don’t worry about me being hurt; my heart isn’t that fragile." Lin Banxia immediately patched up her words with a lie.
Yan Ting reached out, gently smoothing her hair by her ear, his voice soft and deep, "I won’t get engaged to her. You have to believe me."
"I believe!" Lin Banxia answered with utmost certainty. She truly believed him.
Yan Ting laughed softly and uncontrollably, "Why do you trust me so much? Silly!"
Lin Banxia laughed self-deprecatingly, "I also wish I could be a little silly sometimes, not so smart. Unfortunately, my brain is naturally good..."
"Banxia, that’s enough!" The man interrupted her self-flattery with a low laugh. The next second, her petite body was once again pulled into his embrace, "Let me hold you for a while!"
Lin Banxia certainly wouldn’t push him away. She also wanted to quietly feel the warmth and security of his embrace.
"Was it your grandfather who spread this news online?" A muffled inquiry came from the woman in his arms.
At the mention of this, Yan Ting’s body suddenly tensed, gently pushing the woman in his arms back a little. Under the dim light, he stared intensely into her eyes and asked, "Did Huo Qinglin confess to you?"
Lin Banxia was stunned, her beautiful eyes blinked twice, "He’s confessed to me many times, but rest assured, I’ve always rejected him."
"The last time he confessed, did you feel he was like a different person?" Yan Ting knew that Huo Qinglin never took confessions seriously. Whenever he fancied a woman, he’d repeat the same lines multiple times.
"Like a different person? I didn’t feel anything; he’s still the same bastard, hateful!" Lin Banxia really hadn’t noticed if Huo Qinglin’s tone changed that day from usual. She despised him so much that she didn’t want to listen to him speak at all.
Yan Ting knew Lin Banxia genuinely detested Huo Qinglin and believed that this time she hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
"Why ask me like that? Do you suspect there’s something between him and me?" Lin Banxia was a bit perplexed.
Yan Ting said lightly, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask."
