CIATB Chapter 1204 White Long Mouth
Chapter 1204 White Long Mouth
Huo Yanchen couldn't help but look at Jiang Manman. She was still so innocent and naive.
But he just liked Jiang Manman just the way she was.
In this restless world, everyone is scrambling for their own interests and is inherently cold-hearted, but Jiang Manman considers more things.
She's not stupid, nor is she the type to let someone hurt her go unpunished; she simply doesn't want to see others suffer the consequences.
Huo Yanchen couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Manman had been born earlier and met him sooner, would she have been so warm and illuminating his world during those endless dark days of his childhood?
Huo Yanchen's personality is related to his childhood experiences.
The Huo family was very large; the father alone had several sons and daughters, both from his first wife and illegitimate children.
And then there are the uncles and elders, and their children, too numerous to count.
There is only one Huo family, and only one head of the Huo family. Although the Huo family is not on the throne, the competition for the throne is no different from that for the throne.
He was sent to the arena as a child, and in those dark and dreary days, he had to endure his injuries and transform himself into a wild beast in order to survive.
He was thinking that it would have been great if he had met Jiang Manman back then.
However, when he was eighteen, he did meet a little girl who looked to be only five or six years old and had two little braids.
He had just experienced an explosion, which his brother had arranged for him. Although he was prepared, he still almost died inside.
Besides the explosion, his brother also had people chasing him, determined to kill him. He barely managed to escape and later met a little girl.
At that time, Huo Yanchen was in a box, crying from the pain. When he went out, he met a little girl.
The little girl said she heard someone crying and came over to check. Seeing his disheveled appearance, she thought he was a little beggar. She stuffed the yogurt, candied hawthorn, and some snacks in her hand into his hands, afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat. She also took out her small purse and gave it to him, which contained her savings of several hundred yuan.
Huo Yanchen still keeps that little purse.
He just didn't know who that little girl was.
He investigated later but found nothing. The girl was already very young, and in order to escape the pursuers, he had run into a busy area, making it even more difficult to find her.
However, it was just a minor incident. I thought the little girl was a nice person and didn't think too much about it, after all, she was just a child who was only a few years old.
"Huo Yanchen, what's wrong?" Jiang Manyan looked at Huo Yanchen's expression and sensed that something was wrong with him, so she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Huo Yanchen turned his head and met Jiang Manman's concerned and eager gaze.
At that moment, it felt as if something had struck my heart.
Because these eyes overlapped with those of the little girl, both so bright, as if they were carrying light.
He was twelve years older than Jiang Manman. He was eighteen when she was a young girl...
Is it possible?
Is it really such a coincidence?
Huo Yanchen suddenly wondered if there was even a tiny possibility that the girl from back then was Jiang Manman…
Unfortunately, it's been too long, more than a decade, and there's no way to investigate this matter anymore; it was just a fleeting glimpse at the time.
Huo Yanchen asked, "When you were a child, did you ever go to the lively night market on Changfeng Street?"
"When you were little? How little?" Jiang Manman asked.
"Maybe five or six years old."
This is way too small!
How could Jiang Manman possibly remember what happened back then?
She shook her head: "I've long forgotten. Why don't you ask me if I was still drinking milk when I was two years old? My memory isn't that good. What happened to you on Changfeng Street back then?"
"It's nothing." Huo Yanchen looked ahead again.
Indeed, Jiang Manman was too young at that time. This matter was very important to him, but to that little girl, it might just be encountering a little beggar. She was kind and probably helped more than just him, and she wouldn't have taken it to heart.
"Look at you, you don't say anything, you just have a sour face." Jiang Manman muttered under her breath.
Huo Yanchen is like that, it's like he doesn't have a mouth.
But those lips, perfectly thin and thick, were excessively beautiful.
You've got a mouth all to burn!
"What did you say?" Huo Yanchen didn't hear clearly, but he had a feeling that Jiang Manman was cursing him.
“I didn’t say anything!” Jiang Manman immediately said.
Huo Yanchen sneered: "Don't forget I'm your boss. If you dare to talk bad about your boss behind his back, I can fire you anytime."
"I didn't talk badly about you behind your back, I did it to your face."
"So you admit you were insulting me, right?"
Jiang Manman covered her mouth, this was all a trick!
Although the two spent the rest of the time bickering and arguing, before they knew it, the car had arrived at the Jiang family's villa.
"We've arrived. Get out of the car." Huo Yanchen's tone was indifferent.
Jiang Manman opened the car door: "Thank you for bringing me back."
"Since you're thanking me, then grant me one request." Huo Yanchen pressed his advantage.
"what?"
There are still conditions!
"Mind your own business from now on. Don't meddle in other people's affairs!"
Why meddle in other people's business?
That's a broad scope. What does Huo Yanchen refer to?
Could it be that I'm delivering dinner to Huo Yanchen tonight?
Huo Yanchen didn't like it, feeling that she was meddling in other people's business.
Jiang Manman nodded: "Okay, even if you starve to death from now on, it has nothing to do with me, is that alright?"
Jiang Manman thought that if she stopped interfering in Huo Yanchen's affairs, Huo Yanchen would be happier.
But to her surprise, Huo Yanchen frowned even more, staring at her as if she had committed some heinous crime.
Those eyes were devoid of warmth, more like the calm before a storm, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy, as if he could reach out and strangle you at any moment.
Jiang Manman trembled slightly. Had she said something wrong?
Isn't this what Huo Yanchen wanted?
"You think I'm talking about myself?" Huo Yanchen's tone was terrifyingly heavy.
Jiang Manman was taken aback: "No...isn't that right?"
Huo Yanchen was so angry he laughed, his face turning gloomy, which made Jiang Manman tremble with fear.
"What's going on in your head? I'm telling you about Liang Chen's affairs. In the future, stay out of his business. What he does is not up to you. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Jiang Manman nodded frantically.
It turned out it was because of Liang Chen; she thought Huo Yanchen was talking about delivering food.
Huo Yanchen's voice was loud, and Jiang's father, who was peeking from behind the villa door, frowned. What was wrong with Huo Yanchen? How dare he yell at his daughter so loudly? He had such a bad temper. Manman was so well-behaved; she couldn't possibly have done anything wrong.
You shouldn't marry someone like that!
