Chapter 95 - Sharing the Same Room (3)
“I had a meeting over at City Lin . I recalled that your filming location is right here, so I thought I’d swing by,” explained Huo YanXiao simply . Then, he leaned down at all of a sudden, locked onto her eyes and asked, “Qin ZiMing looked for you?”
Nie AnAn’s heart sank a bit . She then nodded and said, “Mmm . ”
“Did he say anything?” asked Huo YanXiao again .
Nie AnAn was going to mention about the engagement, but now with Huo YanXiao looking deeply into her eyes, Nie AnAn’s heart was beating without rhythm . Her mind drew blank all of a sudden and she said, “No, nothing . ”
“I saw him yesterday evening,” said Huo YanXiao with his lips curving slightly upward . There was a hint of cheerfulness in his voice . “AnAn, if he dares bully you again, I will beat him up with you . ”
Nie AnAn’s eyes widened and she looked at Huo YanXiao in disbelief . “Big Brother, so you knew about it?”
“I didn’t exactly see the damage you’ve done to his face . He had a face mask on, but I am sure it looks bad . ” Huo YanXiao sat up straight, stood up, and walked over to sit on the other bed .
“I didn’t see it either . The lights were bad at the time . I left after I struck him . ” Having said that, Nie AnAn felt a bit embarrassed . “I didn’t even remember that I hit him on his face . ”
“That was very well done,” said Huo YanXiao . “He was supposed to be here for this filming, but as he wasn’t presentable, I am here to replace him . ”
Nie AnAn looked up and asked, “Big Brother, do you feel that I am too violent?”
Before she had transmigrated, she had always been taught to be a good girl and the standard for a good girl is to be cute and docile .
Nie AnAn had never been in a fight in her 18 years of life .
“You don’t need to hold back if you were being bullied . ” Huo YanXiao’s imposing manner changed all of a sudden . The way he was looking at Nie AnAn became more serious . “AnAn, no matter who bullies you in the future, you have no need to hold back . I will be there to back you when you hit someone . ”
Nie AnAn’s eyes beamed all of a sudden . “Thank you, Big Brother . ”
Having said that, she finally told him what Qin ZiMing had said to her . “I hadn’t planned on hitting him . But what he said just made me mad . ”
“What did he say?” asked Huo YanXiao gently .
“He said you are only engaged to me because Uncle Qin promised you shares to the Qin’s . And that you would still choose to be engaged to me for the sake of the shares even if you see him and me together . ”
Having said that, Nie AnAn felt that her heart had been suspended into the air . Deep down inside of her, she did have some anticipation and desire for an answer . It was a feeling that she could not quite describe .

After hearing her words, Huo YanXiao paused for a little bit . Then, coldness appeared in his eyes . “I see . ”
Having said that, he suddenly turned to look at her . “Then did you believe him, AnAn?”
Nie AnAn reflexively gripped the blanket under her tightly .
“No, I didn’t . Which was why I hit him,” said Nie AnAn, but her tone has some uncertainty in it .
“I would not trade my marriage for the shares,” said Huo YanXiao as he looked at her . “Our engagement has nothing to do with the Qin’s share . ”
Even though that had confirmed what she had always believed in, hearing it directly from the man in front of her still made Nie AnAn ecstatic .
The blanket had wrinkled under the grip . Listening to the rain outside the window, Nie AnAn wanted to ask more questions .
But Huo YanXiao’s cellphone rang .
It sounded like some work call . He picked up the phone and used a lot of jargon .
Looking at the man’s tall and straight silhouette, Nie AnAn slowly burrowed herself under the blanket . Her lips, now covered up by the blanket, started to curve upward .

After his call, Huo YanXiao saw that Nie AnAn had already settled into the bed . He walked over and turned the light off . “Goodnight, AnAn . ”
“Goodnight, Big Brother,” said Nie AnAn, her voice was muffled under the blanket
It was dark in the room so one’s hearing became particularly alert .
Nie AnAn could hear that the man, not even half a meter from her, sat down on the bed . His breathing was clear and shallow .
