Chapter 257 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 8

Then she said arrogantly, "Let me touch it."

Huo Chen hesitated for a moment, then, thinking of Miss Xu's relentless nature, he had no choice but to lean back on the sofa and expose his Adam's apple for her to touch.

Yun Qing reached out and touched him, feeling his Adam's apple bobbing under her fingertips. Like a curious cat, she moved closer and closer.

Huo Chen clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly, his breathing sounding suppressed.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her through his slightly closed eyelids, but as if afraid that his gaze would reveal too much emotion, he quickly closed his eyes again.

Huo Chen suppressed the countless dark thoughts in his heart, not wanting his covetousness to become truly sordid.

Yun Qing was completely unaware of how dangerous it was. She was like a cat, yet she was teasing Huo Chen like a cat. After touching his Adam's apple, she reached out and scratched his chin, saying with satisfaction, "You're quite well-behaved."

Ye Liang was constantly worried that Huo Chen would be tormented by Miss Xu again.

So, as soon as Yun Qing came out of the office and left, he rushed into the office immediately, "Huo Chen, are you alright?"

He looked Huo Chen over and, seeing that he was still unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief. Then he asked in confusion, "Why are your eyes so red? Are they inflamed?"

"Wait, why is your neck so red too?"

To be precise, it's the area around the Adam's apple that's red.

He looked Huo Chen over more closely and finally noticed that something was wrong with him.

The suit jacket he was wearing was taken off and piled messily on his lap, his tie was loose, and he was in a tense state, as if he was suppressing something.

And there was some lipstick smudged on his shoulder!

Thinking back to the fact that there were only Huo Chen and Xu Yunqing in the office just now, and Huo Chen is in this state now.

Ye Liang's eyes turned red with anger. "Xu Yunqing actually insulted you like that! Are you... are you alright? Don't do anything rash."

Huo Chen leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, then closed his eyes and said in a deep, hoarse voice, "Shut up!"

Ye Liang was afraid of upsetting him, so he kept quiet, but he also had some doubts in his heart.

Miss Xu doesn't particularly dislike Huo Chen, doesn't she look down on him at all, as if he's some kind of trash, and would want to chop off her hand if she accidentally bumps into him?

What's going on now?

After pausing for a while, Huo Chen got up and walked behind his desk to continue working.

He glanced at Ye Liang, who was still standing there, and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Ye Liang not only didn't leave, but also sat down across from him at the desk, looking worried. "What are you going to do? You just got a girlfriend, what if she finds out..."

He suddenly paused, then exclaimed, "I know! Does Xu Yunqing know you have a girlfriend and can't stand seeing you doing well, so he's deliberately humiliating you like this?"

"This woman is really..."

Huo Chen suddenly looked up at him, his eyes cold and fierce, "Shut up!"

Ye Liang was startled by him.

Huo Chen rubbed his temples, his expression regaining its composure, and said in a softer tone, "It's not what you think. Don't slander the young lady."

Ye Liang stared at him in shock, not caring what had happened, and asked incredulously, "You're protecting Xu Yunqing?!"

Huo Chen lowered his eyes and said, "Chairman Xu is my benefactor."

"I don't believe you for a second! Why didn't you ever defend Xu Yunqing like this before!"

He then examined the suggestive marks left on Huo Chen's body, his expression grave, and stared at him as he asked, "You don't have any feelings for Xu Yunqing, do you?"

He suddenly remembered something, his gaze falling on his hand, "Those teeth marks on your hand weren't also from Miss Xu, were they?"

Huo Chen remained silent.

Seeing his tacit agreement, Ye Liang looked at him incredulously, "Have you forgotten how she's been tormenting you all this time? Are you a masochist?!"

Huo Chen frowned and said, "She's different from before."

"What's the difference? They still boss you around and treat you like a slave to be trampled on and abused at will!"

As he thought of something, his expression grew even more serious. "Are you sure Xu Yunqing isn't just using some new trick to humiliate you? Don't actually fall for it."

Thinking about it carefully, although Xu Yunqing has a bad character, she is really beautiful. She is a pampered young lady from the Xu family, and even her hair exudes exquisite beauty.

If you really intend to seduce Huo Chen...

Then Huo Chen shouldn't be tempted!

Huo Chen was not someone easily tempted by beauty, and he had been repeatedly beaten and humiliated by Xu Yunqing. After Chairman Xu fell ill, he was frequently injured.

He could clearly sense that Xu Yunqing was extremely disgusted with him, and he even felt that if it weren't for the fact that Chairman Xu had indeed done him a favor, Xu Yunqing might have suddenly died a violent death.

How could I suddenly like him now?

Huo Chen calmly replied, "I know what I'm doing."

Ye Liang: ...What do you mean by having a sense of propriety? You've clearly lost your mind!

He looked at Huo Chen and whispered, "You won't abandon the plan for Xu Yunqing, will you?"

Huo Chen remained silent, and Ye Liang's heart sank. He said angrily, "Huo Chen, what kind of bewitching potion did Xu Yunqing give you?"

"You've endured so much for so long, and now you want to give up? What are you thinking?!"

"Even if you really have feelings for Xu Yunqing, once you get the Xu Group, won't she be completely at your mercy?"

Huo Chen frowned, his tone somewhat stern, "Ye Liang, I'll say it again, don't slander the young lady, and don't mention this matter again."

Ye Liang was so angry that her heart ached. "Fine, fine, I don't care anymore. Anyway, I'm not the one being abused! You masochist, I'll just watch how Xu Yunqing continues to swagger around in front of you!"

Huo Chen said in a deep voice, "You don't understand..."

He loved her vibrant, alive, not a withered specimen. She was most beautiful when she was in full bloom, so beautiful that he could restrain his destructive urges.

He didn't want to cut off the nourishment that allowed her to bloom beautifully; she should be pampered and live proudly and unrestrainedly.

He suddenly understood why Chairman Xu, who was always decisive and efficient, always spoiled his daughter to the point of being unprincipled.

Ye Liang chuckled at him, "I don't want to understand!"

However, after he calmed down, he said irritably, "Do as you please. I don't understand, but I respect it."

After all, Huo Chen is no longer a child; he knows what he wants.

He can do what's best for him, but he shouldn't try to control his thoughts just because it's for his own good.

His attitude was so firm, what could he, as his only friend, do? Naturally, he could only support him!

Hopefully, Miss Xu will have even a sliver of pity for him! I swear he won't end up with a tragic fate.

Xue Lan had previously told Yun Qing that Xue Ling should move out.

Xue Lan acted swiftly; by the time Yun Qing returned home, Xue Ling was already moving things.

Yun Qing glanced at it and then went upstairs, not paying much attention.

Xue Ling watched her retreating figure and sneered inwardly. Xu Yunqing's smugness wouldn't last long.
