Wen Jin shook her head: "No, as you can see, I just won Mr. Liu's case. I'm afraid I don't have that much time to participate in Lizhou Island."

Huo Zunbao chuckled and let go of his hand on her waist: "Miss Wen grew up in the countryside. She has a seriously ill mother and a younger brother who has just reached adulthood. Her father is a gambler. Growing up in such a family, doesn't Miss Wen need more money?"

Wen Jin frowned: "You're investigating me?"

"What? Miss Wen, you are so ordinary, are you afraid that others will know about your background?" He reached out and pinched her chin: "Or is all this fake?"

Wen Jin tried her best to look calm. She stared at him for a long time before she spoke: "Mr. Huo, you are worrying too much. I just have to ensure that the house I designed is completed with quality and quantity. I don't want to violate my professional ethics as a professional designer just for the sake of blindly pursuing more contracts."

"For the sake of professional ethics, you don't want the contract I fed you?" Huo Zunbao raised his lips meaningfully: "It seems that Miss Wen... has never experienced the real suffering of the world."

He had completely doubted her.

Wen Jin clenched her hands tightly, not daring to reveal any emotion. "There are many people in this world who regard money as dirt in order to stick to their bottom line. I think the only one who has never experienced the sufferings of the world is Master Huo. We poor people also have the backbone of the poor. We are not all people who are blinded by money."

"Ha." Huo Zunbao laughed completely. You still don't admit it, right? I'll see how long you can keep pretending, Gu Xiaotong!

"What are you laughing at?" Wen Jin looked at him puzzledly.

"Nothing. I just feel that Miss Wen Jin like this arouses my desire to conquer her as a man. What should I do? It seems that I have really fallen in love with you."

Wen Jin sat up straight and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I just started working and I'm not considering relationships for the time being."

Huo Zunbao heard this, the corners of his lips curled up evilly, and he said nothing more.

The car soon arrived at the place Huo Zunbao mentioned, but it was not the European-style villa he mentioned, but an ink-and-wash Lanting?

What did he bring her here for? Wen Jin was puzzled.

After the car stopped, Huo Zunbao got out first, then walked around the car to the other side and opened the door for her.

Wen Jin hesitated and didn't want to get off the car.

"Mr. Huo, why did you bring me here?"

Huo Zunbao didn't answer, but reached out and pulled her out of the car.

Wen Jin had no choice but to let him pull her towards the elevator.

Arriving at the house where Gu Qishen had lived before, Huo Zunbao's eyes fell on her fair little face, and he reached out and slowly closed the door.

With the sound of the door closing, Wen Jin's body shook involuntarily.

She turned around and was about to open the door and leave, but he raised his arm before her and blocked her way.

"Mr. Huo, what exactly are you going to do?"

Huo Zunbao locked her in his own room, leaving her no room to escape.

His deep gaze fell into her eyes, and he said softly: "I just brought Miss Wen to visit my home. What is Miss Wen thinking about?"

Wen Jin's face suddenly turned red, she blinked twice, and her lips moved for a long time but she couldn't utter a word.

Huo Zunbao chuckled, then took her hand and walked towards the sofa, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. There is only one woman in my heart, and that woman is called Gu Xiaotong."

Wen Jin was arranged by him to sit on the sofa. He looked into her eyes and said, "Except for her, I am not interested in other women."

When Wen Jin heard this, a very complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

Huo Zunbao glanced at her for a moment, then stood up and walked to the bar. "Coffee, please?"

Wen Jin followed his gaze and saw that she had already started preparing coffee powder and tools.

"Okay." She said.

After answering, she turned her gaze to the interior layout of the house, and a thousand question marks flashed through her mind.

Why did he bring her here?

The house was previously decorated by Ye Jianan, who has excellent aesthetic taste. The decoration is simple and elegant Italian minimalist, with high-quality soft furnishings in the details.

Even the trash cans were airlifted from abroad and have unique appearances.

She had never lived here, but the furnishings inside were complete.

Huo Zunbao fiddled with the coffee machine skillfully for a while, then brought out two cups of coffee and walked towards her.

He placed one of the cups next to her and said, "Try the mocha I made."

"Thank you." Wen Jin picked up the cup and took a sip. "It tastes good."

Huo Zunbao raised his eyebrows: "Well, my girlfriend's favorite drink before was Mocha, but I never made it for her."

"Ahem..." Wen Jin almost choked herself, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo."

Huo Zunbao handed her a piece of paper and said, "Wipe your mouth."

"I'm really not your girlfriend." Wen Jin sighed, "You really got the wrong person."

Huo Zunbao chuckled and didn't respond to her words. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Wen Jin thought about it and shook his head.

She was also very curious. As far as she knew, shouldn't this house be in Gu Qiyu's hands?

Huo Zunbao put down his coffee cup and looked at her with burning eyes: "I bought this house from a friend of mine two days ago."

Wen Jin: “Oh.” So that’s how it is.

"Seven hundred million."

Wen Jin looked up at him, eyes full of shock.

It seems to be saying: Are you crazy to spend 700 million to buy a large flat?

If she hadn't received professional training, she would have blurted out this sentence almost without thinking.

Although she didn't say anything, her expression still revealed it.

"Do you think I'm sick?"

Wen Jin quickly shook her head: "I just think that you are quite rich."

Huo Zunbao smiled bitterly: "Aren't you curious about why I can't just buy a villa for 700 million, but have to go to Shui Mo Lan Ting to buy a large flat worth more than 20 million?"

Wen Jin wanted to say: I am not interested and I don’t want to know.

But on second thought, I felt that it was too much to cover up.

So I asked, “I’m curious, but I’m afraid it might seem abrupt to ask.”

Huo Zunbao raised his eyebrows again: "This house was bought by my friend from his beloved woman for 500 million yuan."

"When I first heard about this, I also thought that my friend was just a love-brained person who had money but nowhere to spend it, so he spent 500 million to buy a house worth only 20 million just to pursue a woman."

This was the method Gu Qishen used to pursue Ye Jianan. Wen Jin naturally knew about this. At that time, she was still in XK. When Su Hao told her their story, she was curious about what kind of girl could make her elder brother spend so much energy and time pursuing her?
