The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

The look was so cute and adorable that it instantly made the originally still "statue" come alive.

Huo Wenze turned his head as if nothing had happened, looked ahead, and said in a calm and steady voice, "Nothing."

Wenrou raised her hand and gently wiped her face, full of confusion. She really couldn't figure out how she had offended this cold-faced god again. She could only sigh inwardly, sit there obediently, and say no more.

"Shu Bai. Didn't you say that your old-fashioned fiancée was coming to the city today? Why don't you go to pick her up, but instead you're drinking here alone?" Zeng Shaoqi saw his friend drinking alone in the dance hall, and knowing that he was upset about his engagement, he couldn't help but teasing him.

Huo Shubai's brows were tightly knitted together, as if they were twisted into an unsolvable knot. He looked at his friend with helplessness and frustration in his eyes. He smiled bitterly and said, "Shaoqi, please stop teasing me. Your parents are both open-minded people. How could they be forced to marry a traditional woman with bound feet, like me, who is full of old ideas?"

Zeng Shaoqi and Huo Shubai met when they were studying abroad. Both of them had studied abroad and did not agree with the feudal dregs.

Therefore, mentor Zeng Shaoqi understood Huo Shubai's feelings. If his family forced him to marry a woman of that era with bound feet, he would also be unhappy.

What's more, he knew that Huo Shubai already had someone in his heart.

"Speaking of which, does Liu Jia know that you are already engaged?" Zeng Shaoqi couldn't help but become curious when Huo Shubai's sweetheart was mentioned. He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

Huo Shubai was startled when Zeng Shaoqi asked this, and quickly said, "Shaoqi, please don't tell Jiajia. I will cancel this engagement sooner or later. Jiajia is straightforward and doesn't tolerate any injustice. If she knew I was engaged, she would definitely not be with me."

Zeng Shaoqi rolled his eyes and said rudely, "You're talking as if you're already with Liu Jia. As far as I know, Liu Jia hasn't agreed to be with you yet, right?"

Speaking of Liu Jia, Huo Shubai couldn't sit still. He didn't bother to argue with Zeng Shaoqi anymore, so he just sat up and said, "Okay, drink slowly by yourself. I'm going to find Jia Jia!"

After saying that, he actually strode away without any hesitation, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing his friend forget about friendship for the sake of beauty and leave so abruptly, Zeng Shaoqi was speechless.

Huo Shubai walked out of the dance hall, and a cold wind blew in his face, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and the drunkenness instantly dissipated a little.

He raised his hand to smooth his messy hair, then fished a candy from his pocket, peeled off the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth. The sweetness spread, at least suppressing the alcohol in his mouth. After calming down a bit, he hurried towards the martial arts gym run by Liu Jia's family.

Liu Jia's father opened a martial arts school and taught some apprentices, and Liu Jia naturally knew some boxing and kicking skills.

As soon as Huo Shubai stepped into the martial arts hall, he saw Liu Jia, dressed in a neat suit, practicing martial arts with his senior brother in the training ground.

Liu Jia was agile and strong, and his punches and kicks were full of vigor. He fought with his senior brother to a standstill, and every move showed his heroic demeanor.

Huo Shubai stared at her in amazement, as if he was under a spell. In his eyes, a woman as unrestrained and free-spirited as Liu Jia was exactly what a woman in this new era should be like.

In fact, Liu Jia had already noticed Huo Shubai, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but she still pretended to be angry.

Seeing him coming, Liu Jia deliberately stopped her moves, raised her eyebrows and looked at him with pretended impatience, muttering, "Why are you here again?" Although her tone was a bit coquettish, it actually concealed a hint of joy.

Her senior brother didn't understand what was going on and thought Huo Shubai had disturbed his junior sister's martial arts practice. He frowned and asked, "Why is that pretty boy here again?"

Liu Jia hurriedly waved to his senior brother and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you practice first, I'll talk to him." After that, he walked towards Huo Shubai.

When Huo Shubai saw this, his eyes instantly lit up like stars, as if he had seen a rare treasure.

"Jia Jia, I really can't let you go. It feels like a long time since I last saw you. I'm looking forward to seeing you more often." Huo Shubai's eyes were full of affection, his eyes were slightly red, and the sweet words flowed out like a flood that broke through the dam.

Liu Jia listened, her cheeks flushed slightly, her heart felt like it was filled with honey, but she still kept on complaining: "Humph, you only know how to say these nice things, who knows if you really mean it or not."

In fact, she knew in her heart that Huo Shubai's feelings for her were real, but as a girl, she had to be a little polite and could not agree easily.

Huo Shubai was so anxious that he kept waving his hands. He took a step forward and almost shook Liu Jia's hand, but quickly retracted it and stammered, "Jia Jia, I swear to God, my heart for you is as clear as the sun and the moon. If you don't believe me, I'll take my heart out and show it to you."

Seeing his look, Liu Jia burst out laughing and raised her hand to gently hit his shoulder: "Go away, who asked you to open your heart, it's scary." Although it was a reproach, her eyes were full of smiles.

Huo Shubai was overjoyed when he received this somewhat intimate response. He was like a happy little bird, asking Liu Jia all sorts of questions and chirping non-stop.

Meanwhile, in another corner of Shanghai, the Huo family mansion stood majestically, resembling a stately castle. With a gentle demeanor, Huo Wenze slowly arrived at the mansion's gate in his shiny black sedan.

Huo Wenze strode in and asked the housekeeper, "Where is Huo Shubai?"

The housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. He took the package from Wenrou's hands with both hands, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully: "The second young master went out early in the morning and has not returned yet."

Huo Wenze frowned when he heard this, with an unhappy expression on his face. This Huo Shubai really disregarded the interests of the Huo family. He only thought about love and freedom all day long, which made people confused.

But the more he acted like this, the more the elders of the Huo family liked him and indulged him.

Huo Wenze didn't want to mention Huo Shubai anymore. Instead, he turned to Wenrou and said, "I asked the housekeeper to prepare a bedroom for you in advance. It's on the second floor, just on the same floor as Huo Shubai. When he comes back, you two can have more opportunities to spend time together and slowly cultivate your feelings."
