Chapter 223: 223, Invitation, Living Together
As Shi Yuhuan was about to leave, Song Qinghuan’s fearful eyes quivered and she quickly reached out to grab his hand, “Wait!”
Shi Yuhuan turned around, his deep and striking eyes silently watching her.
It seemed as if he was waiting for her to speak.
But, Song Qinghuan didn’t say anything right away, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Shi Yuhuan’s patience was unusually good as he quietly waited for her to speak.
A moment later, Song Qinghuan’s small face turned red. She then hesitantly whispered, “Um… I mean, I find this room a bit scary. I don’t want to stay here. Can I go and stay at my classmate’s house? But it’s quite late, could you please take me to get a taxi?”
Shi Yuhuan remained expressionless, still looking at her quietly. He didn’t say anything to dismiss her, but his demeanor suggested reluctance.
Because he withdrew his hand from hers and took a step back.
As she lowered her gaze, Song Qinghuan bit her lip, a hint of fear slipped off her eyes. She whispered softly, the undertone of her voice begging, “Please, I really can’t stay here tonight.”
Looking back up at him, she saw that Shi Yuhuan’s face remained unchanged, his handsome eyebrows exuded a cold aura that was hard to look directly at. His lips were slightly curled into a lazy smirk, as if saying, “what’s it to me if you’re scared or if you don’t dare to stay here?”
Did he not want to help her and even found it amusing?
Thoughts like these stung Song Qinghuan’s heart, causing a throbbing ache!
She quietly sighed. He was so cold and indifferent and had no feeling for her, there was no way he would consider her feelings.
It was already so late; she knew she could not venture outside on her own, and she was afraid to leave the quiet community to catch a taxi.
Just as she was about to resign herself to stay in the house for the night…
The most terrifying moment should be over by now. Nothing else could be more frightening. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
But then, Shi Yuhuan’s voice suddenly broke the silence, surprisingly gentle and deep, “Clean up and go to the room in the back.”
What he meant was, he wouldn’t take her to her classmate’s house. If she didn’t want to stay here, she should clean up and stay with him in the house at the back.
Song Qinghuan’s bright, pale face looked somewhat stunned, seemingly in disbelief.
The house at the back was off-limits to others, except for the cleaner, Aunt He.
She once suspected that there must be some untold secrets hidden in that house, so she had secretly asked Aunt He about it. But Aunt He kept her lips sealed and refused to divulge anything.
Now that he invited her to stay in that house. Did he have some sort of scheme?
“Are you still sitting there? I’m only giving you two minutes to pack. If you’re slow, you won’t have to come!” Shi Yuhuan’s voice rang out, a command laced with chilly undertones.
Song Qinghuan was still somewhat in disbelief and hunched her delicate body as she asked to confirm, “You’re letting me stay with you in the villa at the back?”
“What? Don’t want to?” Shi Yuhuan returned her gaze with a cold one before he slowly turned around. It looked like he was ready to leave her there.
Quickly, Song Qinghuan reached out to grab the sleeve of his shirt, “No, I’ll go, I want to go.”
She curled her lips into a smile and then she showed her teeth at him.
“Pack quickly,” Shi Yuhuan cast a quick glance at her, his tone still arrogant and somewhat impatient, but his gaze was unexpectedly gentle.
(PS: I got home really late today and started writing this late as well. The New Year is almost here, wishing everyone a Happy New Year.)
