C3 A Moment of Warmth
"Stop!" Before Huo Ting could finish his angry words, the car suddenly tilted to the right and hit the brakes. The car still hit something.
Jiang Xiaohan slammed on the brakes, and his body moved forward, almost crashing into the windshield. Looking ahead, he saw a branch that was blown off by the wind blocking his way.
"SHIT!" He then took out an umbrella from the drawer, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Through the window, Jiang saw Huo Tince bending over to move the branch. She quickly opened the car door and walked to Huo Tince's side.
"What are you doing down here!" Huo Tenzhao stood up and placed the umbrella on Jiang Xiaohan.
"Let me see, what happened?"
When Jiang Xiaohan saw Huo Tince covering her with the umbrella while his half of his body was wet, he leaned over and picked up the towel he had just handed her to help him wipe the rain off his face.
Perhaps this action had misunderstood something, or perhaps Jiang Xiaohan was now soaked in sweat and was really mesmerizing. All of a sudden, Huo Tince reached out his free arm and put it around Jiang Xiaohan's slim waist.
Jiang Xiaohan's heart was thumping hard as he fell into Huo Tince's arms again. She felt her face burning.
Huo Tince turned Jiang Xiaohan's body to face him, then bent down slightly and lowered his head.
Huo Tince's strong manly aura enveloped her, and Jiang Xiaohan's mind went blank. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at her, his eyes deep and gentle. His handsome face with distinct features was constantly magnified in front of her, approaching her, and then moving closer to her …
God, how could there be such an intimate moment between him and her? Did he know what he was doing? Jiang Xiaohai felt his face grow hotter, and she thought it must be redder than a cooked shrimp.
Huo Tince's lips were about to land on Jiang Xiaohan's red lips when Jiang Wenxin's figure flashed through Jiang Xiaohan's mind. In that instant, Jiang Xiaohai suddenly became clear-headed, and she turned her face to the side, avoiding Huo Tinzhi's kiss.
Then, she tried to break free from Huo Tince's embrace, saying softly but firmly, "Huo Tince, don't be like that."
Jiang Xiaohan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Huo Tince again. He was afraid that if he did, she would lose the courage to refuse him and fall into his arms.
However, if she were to raise her head now, she would definitely see the same defeated expression on Huo Tencai's face as a year ago.
After a moment of silence, Huo Tince's cold voice rang out from the top of her head, "You don't like it?"
Jiang Xiaohan felt his heart tremble, and his body stiffen. How could she not like him? She had been secretly in love with him for ten years! She had always dreamed of this moment, but she couldn't …
"Yes." Afraid that his secret had been discovered, Jiang Xiaohan nodded his head firmly.
"So, you still love him?" Huo Tince stared at Jiang Xiaohan. His tone was as cold as snow, as if that moment of tenderness had never existed.
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaohan spoke with all his might. Who knew how much pain she had to endure in order to be able to calmly say these words, "Besides, I know that the person you love has always been your sister."
The next moment, Huo Tince threw the umbrella on the ground and dragged Jiang Xiaohan back to the car with a sullen face.
He was silent the whole way. The car was so quiet that only the sound of raindrops hitting the window could be heard. Huo Tince held onto the steering wheel with both of his hands, while veins bulged on the back of his hands and his knuckles turned white. He drove very fast as if he was venting something …
Jiang Xiaohan sat motionlessly in his seat. Out of the corner of his eyes, he peeked at the gloomy face of the iceberg. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart and couldn't breathe. Needless to say, she knew why he was so angry all of a sudden.
Because just now, she mentioned her elder sister …
