Chapter 872: I Want You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Jing took the last sip of his black tea, completely forgetting his earlier declaration of disliking sweets. His face remained impassive as he said, “This is the most flavorful dessert I’ve ever had in my life. It’s sweet but not overly so, and it’s not sticky. It’s simply delicious. If only I had a wife who could cook like this!”

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he received a sharp look from Su Shen. Su Shen’s voice was cool and detached as he said, “Eat slowly, don’t choke. Also, isn’t your engagement already settled? Don’t dream about things that are impossible.”

Huo Jing stood up, pointing a finger at Su Shen, intending to give him a good scolding. But as he rose, he remembered that Su Shen’s wife and child were present, and he sat back down, turning his head away, ignoring Su Shen.

Su Shen was truly unbearable. He had married a young wife and was so smug about it. Huo Jing thought that Su Shen must have accumulated a lot of good karma in his life, having taken down so many drug dealers, to have such a wonderful woman as his wife. Although Huo Jing was annoyed, he had to admit that Su Shen deserved it. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The next moment, Huo Jing felt a wave of frustration. He too had taken down a fair share of drug dealers and saved numerous hostages. Although he couldn’t compare to Su Shen, he had also accumulated good karma. But his good karma had led him to be engaged to Hu Jie, a woman who looked down on him. She appeared superior on the outside, but was actually very weak inside. It was laughable, but Huo Jing didn’t need her approval.

Huo Jing was somewhat looking forward to the future. The marriage between the Huo and Shen families, his and Hu Jie’s respective families, had already been arranged. Hu Jie looked down on him, and he was curious to see whether she would go through with the marriage. It was an interesting thought…

Seeing Huo Jing stewing in his frustration after being rebuked by the older man, Gu Zi felt helpless. Trying to smooth things over, she said, “You men, you don’t know how to hold your tongues. It’s better when you two don’t talk. Brother Huo, if you like these desserts, I’ll make some for you once Su Shen is discharged from the hospital. Consider it a token of my goodwill.”
