Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal

Chapter 29 Intimate Contact! ? The ill-intentioned Master Huo?

The familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere instantly slowed Meng Shu's heartbeat.

She instinctively gripped the man's arm tightly, as if afraid he would disappear again.

Huo Qilin, sensing her intention, had a faint emotion flash in his eyes.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Huo Qilin's room.

The spacious room is understated and simple, reflecting the owner's taste.

Huo Qilin glanced at the woman clinging tightly to his arm and said coldly, "Let go!"

Meng Shu then realized what had happened, her pretty face flushed, "I'm sorry."

Huo Qilin looked at the woman, who was soaking wet, and said, "Go to the bathroom."

Meng Shu was startled, crossed her arms, and quickly refused, "No need."

Huo Qilin sneered, "Don't worry, I'm not so beastly as to lay a hand on a little girl."

Meng Shu muttered to herself, "I'm not a child."

"Still talking back? You're not even eighteen yet."

"I'll be eighteen in just one month."

Huo Qilin raised an eyebrow and suddenly moved closer to her, "Then do you know how old I am?"

Meng Shu subconsciously took a step back. "I know, you're twenty-seven."

"You knew I wouldn't live past twenty-eight and still agreed to marry me? Didn't you know I wouldn't live past twenty-eight?"

Meng Shu, as if possessed, covered the man's thin lips, "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense."

Only then did she realize that the man had grabbed her hand.

The man looked down at her, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. "Tell me, what do you want, money or status?"

Meng Shu raised his head and regained his composure.

Her clear, cold eyes met those dark pupils.

"I've said it before, I don't want anything, I just want to be your wife, I have no other intentions."

After a long silence, the man uttered a few words, "You can get lost now."

Huo Qilin frowned. Why wasn't the little girl reacting?

I turned my head and saw her with tears in her eyes.

She was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her.

Huo Qilin, however, only felt mocked.

I thought she was extraordinary, but she's nothing special!

"Do you know you're afraid now?"

Meng Shu cried because she saw the yellow roses in the room, which were blooming beautifully, but they immediately brought back memories of her past life.

Meng Shu clutched her chest, feeling an unbearable pain in her heart, and her vision gradually blurred.

A sense of guilt welled up within me.

The three words I wanted to say in my past life and future, and in the future, finally have the chance to be uttered: "I'm sorry."

Huo Qilin seemed surprised that she would apologize for no apparent reason.

He paused slightly, his gaze falling suspiciously on her tearful eyes.

After several seconds, she finally spoke, "Miss Meng, is it that force isn't working, so you're trying a softer approach?"

Meng Shu felt a pang of sadness and shook her head frantically, "No, that's not it."

Huo Qilin felt completely bewildered, but there was nothing he could do about it.

At that moment, the pretty little girl was shedding tears.

The reddened tip of his nose and the fine hairs on his face that stood out under his tears were so endearing that they stirred something deep within him.

After a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "If you cry again, I'll throw you out."

His gaze shifted to the wound on her neck, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. "Does it hurt?"

Meng Shu hurriedly stopped her tears and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."

"come over."

Huo Qilin's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Lost in his memories, Meng Shu turned around instinctively upon hearing the sound, only to bump directly into Huo Qilin's arms.

"What? Is this a flirtatious offer?" A voice with a half-smile rang out from above.

Meng Shu was startled to find him right behind her and quickly took two steps back. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Huo Qilin smiled. "Didn't you say that you'd be my wife sooner or later? It's just a matter of throwing yourself into my arms. After all, there are more intimate things to do, right?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shu suddenly had a blush-inducing image flash through his mind.

She suddenly became shy.

This little girl changes her tune every now and then.

Well, it really is... quite unique.

I just hope this specialness isn't something that's faked.

Huo Qilin concealed his emotions and said calmly, "It's nothing, you can leave now."

After saying that, he planned to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shu reached out and tugged at his sleeve, saying in a cute but fierce tone, "You can't leave!"

Huo Qilin stopped and said teasingly, "What, are you planning to take a bath with me?"

Meng Shu blushed deeply, hurriedly shook her head, and then turned her face away to hide her shyness.

Huo Qilin smiled slightly and lifted his foot to leave.

Unexpectedly, Meng Shu grabbed his arm and said anxiously and earnestly, "Um, today is your birthday, and I have a gift for you."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Huo Qilin's eyes, and he raised an eyebrow slightly, "How did you know it was my birthday today?"

Noticing Huo Qilin's scrutinizing and suspicious gaze, Meng Shu felt as if he were being seen through, and was quite at a loss.

Meng Shu coughed lightly. She couldn't very well say that they were husband and wife in their past life, so how could she not know his birthday?

Besides, he did a lot of bad things to me while drunk on my birthday.

Now is not the time to daydream.

Suppressing her strange thoughts, Meng Shu's eyes darted around, and her expression became clear. "Grandpa told me."

Huo Qilin nodded, without suspecting anything.

He then extended his beautiful left hand and said, "Give it to me."

Meng Shu was all smiles.

Unexpectedly, after searching his entire body, he couldn't find the bracelet.

Immediately, her delicate brows furrowed.

Where did my bracelet go?

Could it be that it was left in that room?

"Um, wait a minute."

Unexpectedly, Huo Qilin reached out and stopped her.

Under Meng Shu's questioning gaze, he took out a bracelet made of Hetian red jade, "Is this it?"

Meng Shu was taken aback, blinking her big, watery eyes, "How did it end up with you?"

Huo Qilin smiled and said, "Tell me first, where did you get this?"

Meng Shuxiu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Don't worry, this thing wasn't stolen, much less robbed."

Huo Qilin stared directly at Meng Shu, a scrutinizing glint in his eyes. "Hetian red jade is very rare, costing at least 300,000 yuan per gram. This bracelet must be worth at least tens of millions."

Meng Shu bit her lip and remained silent.

Huo Qilin fiddled with the bracelet, saying, "I won't accept anything from unknown sources."

Meng Shu's expression changed. "Fine, I'll tell you."

"I won this money by gambling on stones."

Huo Qilin was taken aback. "You know how to gamble on stones?"

Meng Shu nodded obediently.

"Who taught you this?"

“My master.”

She doesn't seem to be lying.

Huo Qilin frowned. "Could it be that the famous jade gambling guru from a few days ago is you, little girl?"

Meng Shu stared with innocent, wide eyes, appearing pure and naive.

"Perhaps, maybe, possibly, is that right?"
