She bumped right into his embrace, nearly half-hugging her as they walked towards the elevator entrance.

“Huo…”

“Xiaowu and the others are behind!”

Shen Shuci instinctively wanted to look back, but the man pressed his voice low, “Don’t look back!”

Forceful and allowing no refusal—

Then, the two of them entered the elevator in an extremely intimate embrace, heading for the underground parking garage.

Once inside the elevator, Shen Shuci’s face was so red it looked like smoke was about to erupt from her cheeks.

What the hell was going on? Things were getting more and more complicated.

“They didn’t follow us,” Huo Qinqi said, looking down at her.

“Mm,” Shen Shuci took a deep breath, feeling like this might be the death of her.

This feeling, akin to having an affair, was truly unbearable.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were in another store, still looking at wristwatches. There was a great selection of women’s watches, and she was considering buying one for Shen Shuci.

“Auntie’s birthday is coming up soon, I don’t know what to get her…”

“A watch would be nice.”

“What do you think of this one…”

**

The Huo family was getting impatient waiting in the underground parking garage.

Huo Qinqi shopping was always quick and efficient. Paying and checking out never took more than 5 minutes, and now he had been gone for almost an hour. Even a trip to the restroom wouldn’t take this long unless constipation was an issue.

“Should we go up and check? Surely nothing’s happened.”

“I’ll stay here, you go look.”

Just as the two were dividing tasks, they saw Huo Qinqi stride out of the elevator, and the next second, Shen Shuci followed him out.

They were both dumbfounded!

Weren’t they supposed to be buying a watch? Why was Miss Shen here too? Shouldn’t she be at work at the company? How did she end up here?

The two of them hurriedly got out of the car…

“Am I seeing things?”

As soon as he said this, he got a hard kick from the person beside him.

“Fuck, what the hell are you doing?” He dared not exclaim and just had to bear it.

“Does it hurt?”

“Let me kick you, and you tell me if it hurts.”

“That proves it’s not your eyes playing tricks; it’s real!”

Soon they were in the car, and as it sped away from the mall, Shen Shuci finally let out a sigh of relief…

And at that moment, Huo Qinqi’s phone vibrated again, “Hello, Zeyan.”

The call was from Qi Zeyan.

“Do you have time right now?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Didn’t you mention you wanted to adopt a cat a while ago? A work colleague of mine, their cat just had a litter of kittens, they’re about a month old now. They’re asking around on social media if anyone wants to adopt kittens, so I reserved one for myself. They all look pretty nice. I’ll send you some photos of the kittens later; if you like one, I’ll give you their contact details. You can go directly to their place…”

Qi Zeyan glanced at the person beside him, “I’m a bit busy here and can’t come with you, but he should be free tomorrow.”

“That’s fine.”

Huo Qinqi hung up and soon received some photos on his phone.

Shen Shuci vaguely heard something about a cat from Qi Zeyan, and her curiosity was piqued, “Are you thinking of adopting a cat?”

“Mm.”

“What breed?”

Huo Qinqi passed his phone to her; the kittens were all very lovely. Shen Shuci’s eyes instantly lit up, “These aren’t very old, are they?”

“Which one do you like?”

The Huo family members were completely baffled…

Had it already progressed to this stage?

“You’re asking me?” Shen Shuci liked all of them.

“I can’t decide.”

“I don’t know how to choose either, they’re all adorable.”

“Do you have plans after work tomorrow?”

“I don’t.”

“I’m going to pick up the cat, if you’re interested, you could come with me.”

“Okay.” Shen Shuci ultimately gave in to temptation.

The Huo family’s worldview was toppled yet again…

Were things really this blatant now?
