Master's Little Girl Has Grown Up

"…" Jiang Ci was speechless.    

Huo Fei raised his eyebrows, "Then why did she apologize to you even in her dreams? Even my brother doesn't have this kind of treatment!"    

Jiang Ci said, "Then you have to find the problem in yourself."    

Huo Fei, "…"    

The two of them did not waste any more words and walked upstairs.    

In her dreams, Huo Yan trembled as she looked at Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci looked at her with his cold eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you do this? Why did you hide the child from me?"    

Huo Yan trembled all over and her mind went blank. Other than saying sorry, she didn't know what else to say.    

She was so scared, so scared of this Jiang Ci.    

There was no one around. The coldness that he was emitting seemed to freeze all the blood in her body, as if he was going to throw her into a bottomless abyss!    

"Sorry… I'm sorry…"    

She did not know how long this dream had lasted. She suddenly woke up and looked at the crystal chandelier above her head, trembling.    

After a long time, she finally realized that it was just a nightmare.    

She sat up and noticed that the blanket on her body was gone, and Jiang Ci was no longer around.    

It was probably because her brother had returned and covered her with the blanket when he saw that she was asleep. The two of them should be in the study room upstairs.    

Thinking about the dream and Jiang Ci's expression in the dream, Huo Yan still felt a lingering fear.    

The Jiang Ci in her dream was too scary. She couldn't help but think, if one day Jiang Ci knew the truth, would he be as angry as he was in her dream?    

No! She definitely wouldn't be able to take it.    

She absolutely did not want Jiang Ci to know all of this.    

After a while, footsteps came from the stairs.    

Huo Yan turned her head and looked at the stairs. Jiang Ci and Huo Fei had come down from upstairs.    

"You're awake." Huo Fei said, "You can even fall asleep like this. Did you stay up late last night again?"    

"No."    

Huo Yan looked at Jiang Ci. The fear in her dream still hadn't faded. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him again.    

"Mr. Ci and I need to go out for a while. Are you staying here or going back?" Huo Fei asked.    

Huo Yan looked at the time and replied, "I'm going back."    

"Alright, I'll send you back first."    

"There's no need. I can go back myself." As she spoke, Huo Yan stood up and was about to leave.    

"Wait." Jiang Ci suddenly said.    

Huo Yan immediately stopped and turned around to look at her. She whispered, "What's wrong, Mr. Ci?"    

Jiang Ci walked in front of her and said softly, "Yan Er, I really don't like strangers approaching me, but I didn't mean to blame you for what happened at noon. Don't think too much about it."    

"Oh."    

"Let your brother send you back."    

Huo Yan subconsciously nodded. "Mmm."    

Jiang Ci glanced at Huo Fei. "I'll go over first. You can come back after sending Yan Er off."    

"Mmm, is Chi Yi here yet?"    

"We're here. Just wait outside the door."    

The three of them walked out of the door and Jiang Ci and Chi Yi left.    

Huo Fei sent Huo Yan back to her apartment.    

In the car, Huo Fei suddenly said, "When you make friends in the future, you have to be careful. That woman at noon obviously came for me and Jiang Ci. Can't you tell?"    

Huo Yan muttered, "... I can tell. In the future, I will keep a distance from her."    

"Jiang Ci's attitude is not to you, but to her. You don't have to blame yourself too much."    

"Okay."    

"You're apologizing even in your dreams. You really..."    

"What!" Huo Yan interrupted him, "What do you mean by even in your dreams?"    

Did they hear what she said?    

"When you were dreaming, you called him by his name and said sorry." Pausing for a moment, Huo Fei said seriously, "Yan Er, tell me the truth... Do you have any other meaning for Jiang Ci?"    

"No!" Huo Yan replied decisively, and then said, "Brother, what are you thinking about! I'm just treating Mr. Ci as my brother, just like you."    

Huo Fei snorted, "You don't care about my feelings that much!"    

Huo Yan, "... After all, he is not as close as a biological child. Brother, can you stop imagining things?"    

Huo Fei stared at her for a moment, then said, "That's good."
