"Business trip?" She looked at Huo Shiqian's face, his visage ever so handsome and composed as always.
Perhaps it was due to Huo Shiqian's excessive composure that, despite the muddy rural roads, she couldn't shake the feeling that they had just strolled out of a riverside willow-tree-lined path from a date.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, what nonsense am I thinking! She shook her head to dismiss this amusing fantasy.
Her thoughts returned to the right track.
For some reason she always felt that Huo Shiqian's sudden appearance in Ling County wasn't as simple as just a business trip.
"Was it a coincidence that you saved my uncle on the road?" Finally, Xia Chuyi looked up at him and voiced her biggest question.
Huo Shiqian stopped walking, turned his head to look at her revealing a faint smile, then lowered his head and asked softly, "What do you think?"
She also stopped and met his gaze.
