When the waiter came in to serve the meal, he saw a man sitting in front of a woman. His deep gaze was focused on her, and his eyes were filled with infatuation.

The girl didn't seem to notice.

It was the first time she had seen a man looking at a woman she liked like this.

The waiter gently placed the dishes on the table and gently said, "Sir, all the dishes you have ordered have been served. Is there anything else you need?"

Huo Jin Ze's gaze was fixed on An Xia from the beginning to the end, a faint smile was hidden at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't answer.

The waiter looked somewhat enviously at An Xia before he finally couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker. He was really engrossed in watching this.

"If you keep looking at it like this, sir, your wife will be embarrassed."

Her voice brought Huo Jin Ze back to reality, followed by a cold gaze, like a cold knife aimed at the waiter's heart.

"Get out."

His voice was cold and terrifying, his eyes even more so.

The attendant was so frightened that his body trembled. The smile on his face stiffened at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He hurriedly lowered his head and left the room.

The waiter's figure disappeared at the door, and a trace of annoyance appeared in Huo Jinze's eyes, making him furrow his brows in annoyance.

What did he just do?

He was actually absent-minded because of this woman who had betrayed him before?

Heh, what a joke!

Turning his head to look at An Xia, the gentle look in his eyes vanished as his cold gaze fell on her.

His sharp gaze was too cold. An Xia quickly felt something amiss. Sensing his gaze, she hastily took back her chopsticks and obediently put them on the table.

Her hand had just withdrawn when the man's low voice came from the other side. "Shouldn't you say something?"

What was about to happen had to happen after all.

An Xia's lips tightened into a line as she looked down at her pinching fingers for a while. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, "Sorry, I shouldn't have secretly taken your photo. However, I really didn't send that photo to the media."

Huo Jinze looked at her raised face, which was filled with stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat.

He picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it with his lips. He took a deep breath and blew out a cloud of white smoke before giving a cold smile. "You should apologize, but that's not it."

The moment his last word fell, a cruel smile bloomed on his face. That smile was like that of a demon's, causing people to feel fear, but it also contained a bit of an evil seduction.

That smile of his seemed to be able to lure a young girl into hell. Even if it meant eternal damnation, she would still willingly follow it. It was all for the sake of seeing that smile on his face.

An Xia was unconsciously attracted by his smile, and her mind was filled with questions.

She didn't know what he was talking about.

What else had she done to hurt him?

While An Xia was trying to recall her name, her phone suddenly rang. It was Tang Lu.

Why did she call her so quickly?

When the call connected, Tang Lu's anxious voice came from the other side of the line, "Xia Xia!" Can't you get a new phone? The hospital just called you but didn't manage to get through! Your father was pushed into the emergency room! I'm on my way to the hospital! "

It was unknown how many years her phone had been in use for. It was common for her to have no signal.

When An Xia heard this, her rosy face turned white and her mind went blank. Only after a long while did she react. She was so nervous that her hands were slightly trembling. "I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, she immediately stood up and ran out, ignoring everything else.

"Halt!"

Huo Jin Ze's cold voice came from behind her, followed by the cold chill that came from the man's body.

It was only then that An Xia remembered that she had hastily forgotten something. With an anxious expression, she turned around and hastily explained, "Mr. Huo, if you want to punish me, can you do it another time? I have something urgent to do right now! "

After saying so, she hurriedly ran towards the door. Just as she took a step out of the door, a man's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

She subconsciously dodged to the side, but the man suddenly stopped her at the door. It was clear that he didn't want her to leave.

"Did I say you were allowed to leave?"

Huo Jin Ze's low voice sounded again from behind him.

An Xia wanted to run out, but the man grabbed her shoulders and lightly pulled her in front of Huo Jin Ze.

Amidst the smoke, the man's handsome face had a hazy expression. Even the ethereal smoke couldn't hide the sharp gaze behind the smoke.

His ice-cold gaze fell on her body, causing An Xia's heart to beat wildly. She looked at him with pleading eyes. "I beg you, please let me leave. Something happened to my father!"

Indeed.

He was right.

Huo Jinze's eyes flashed a look of understanding, from the moment she insisted on having a relationship with him, he had already sensed that something wasn't right and had someone investigate the situation.

However, he didn't expect that the stubborn girl would actually drug him for his father.

Luckily Qiu Ye Xuan let her sleep in the same bed as him, what if it was another man?

Would she do the same?

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with rage.

"Come here."

He gave the order in a low tone, placed the cigarette between his fingers, and took another drag.

An Xia felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't know if it was because he was already so terrifying when he was angry, but just now, she felt a murderous intent coming from his eyes.

She was intimidated by his aura and gripped her hands nervously as she slowly approached him. There was only unwillingness in her eyes.

Huo Jinze looked at her timid appearance and her firm eyes, and found it funny in his heart.

He just liked to see her like this. Even though he was scared to death in his heart, those eyes would always stare at him like that.

He turned his body slightly to face her, the hand holding the cigarette clapping lightly on his left leg. "Sit down."

"Mr. Huo, I …"

Her bright eyes were tinged with tears of anxiety, and the watery light that swirled in them added a little purity to her dark eyes.

"Hmm?"

The man's threatening voice was heard. Her shoulders quivered, and she didn't dare to disobey as she walked over.

She sat slowly and hesitantly on his lap. Her body swayed unsteadily, and an arm had to rest on his shoulder for support.

Just as she sat down, the man's warm palm landed on her waist. He took a drag from his cigarette, his fingers loosened, and the cigarette fell to the ground.

Huo Jinze raised his eyes to look at her nervous face, and the corner of his mouth raised into a satisfied smile, "Okay, now you can properly apologize to me."

"I …"

An Xia bit her lips as the tears of humiliation in her eyes finally flowed uncontrollably.

She had brought this upon herself.

From start to finish, it had been her who had provoked this man. She had no right to be angry, and could only endure the torment he inflicted on her.

This was the price of her mistakes.
