Chapter 112: Young Master, are you seducing me?

  "I'd rather be lonely, don't come to comfort or hug me now; just let me suffer alone, hurt until I'm about to go crazy... if I don't die, it's fine..."

  Tong Mai hummed a tune while scrubbing the dishes in the living room with all his might.

  This is a typical case of making the best of a bad situation.

  Otherwise, she would have to spend these twenty-nine days with a bitter face and sighs.

  No, today is another new beginning, to be exact, only twenty-eight days and a few hours are left...

  "I'm lonely and it's fine, you really don't need to come into my memories and smile..."

  "That's enough, Tong Xiaomai! What kind of rotten song are you singing? It's deafening, stop it right now... You're not lonely enough, huh? You keep singing 'lonely, lonely is good', it's infuriating just listening to it!"

  Mrs. Huo dug her ears repeatedly, looking extremely angry.

  "Old lady, this isn't a rotten song, it's a very nice song. You shouldn't not appreciate it."

  How annoying, why on earth would there be such a nagging old man? Shouldn't all elderly people be calm and gentle? But the Hos just have to produce some extreme ones...

  Think about it, she got up early in the dark today. If she doesn't sing a song to boost her spirits now, she's likely to fall asleep.

  Besides, her voice is a standard good voice

  "What...what kind of good song is this, are you not bored enough or do you intentionally want to sing to annoy me?" Old Lady Huo habitually tapped her cane a few times and deliberately picked on Tong Mai.

  "I'm not as petty as you think, why would I want to make you angry? If I made you angry, my salary would be greatly reduced by half, so...I won't do such a stupid thing." Look, her performance today has already improved more than yesterday.

  Tong Mai's face broke out into a sly smile, but in fact, this smile was not bad at all, on the contrary, it reflected her lovely side.

  Mrs. Huo snorted, her face full of disdain. "You've already made me angry now. Do you know that from now on, you're absolutely not allowed to make a racket early in the morning? I mean it, did you hear?" She warned sternly, pursing her lips and adjusting her glasses with an extremely serious expression.

  "I know, if you don't look for me for a day, I'll know you're not feeling well," Tong Mai muttered discontentedly. She had almost completely lost her personal freedom, and even humming a tune was forbidden to her.

  Damn it, this hellish life...

  "Alright then, go and get on with it. Come to my room after you've finished cleaning," Old Lady Huo turned around, twisting her waist as if she was delighted, preparing to leave.

  "Ah...... what are you going to your room for? Can't you say whatever it is here with me?" Tong Mai was puzzled, could Old Lady Huo really be "Lace Edge"?...

  Endless thrill gathered on Tong Mai's head, she found that this question... really needs to be investigated.

  "What's so surprising, coming to my room is that shocking? I tell you to do something, just do it, don't drag your feet and mutter to yourself," Old Lady Huo put on a spoiled rich old lady face, glaring fiercely at Tong Mai.

  Do...

  Now Tong Mai is extremely sensitive to the word "do", her nerves are tense, and it's easy for her to think of scenes where she's entwined with Huo Yize, instantly feeling a burning heat all over her body.

  "I'm lonely, it's okay... I'm lonely, it's okay..."

  Old Lady Hu ignored her and hummed a phrase she had just learned from Tong Mai all the way back to her room.

  This song... really suits her mood at this age, doesn't it?

  Tong Mai heard her singing, and his goosebumps couldn't help but fall to the ground. "I finally know what it means to have a broken throat today," he said, referring to Old Lady Huo's throat.

  "Master... good morning," the butler's face was immediately filled with surprise as soon as he saw Huo Yize appear, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. "Master, you're back so early, is there something urgent?"

  These two days, the young master has been running to Xueyuan quite a few times, and he would occasionally pop out.

  At the same time, Tong Mai, who was sweeping the living room, felt his heart beat involuntarily faster at the moment he saw Huo Yize appear. Of course, this wasn't a feeling of being smitten, but an abnormally intense sense of fear.

  Whenever he appears, her heart beats faster and she becomes nervous...

  Hiding... what else can she do? Tong Mai pretended not to see He Yi Ze, ignoring him, while secretly sneaking out.

  If she had known that working as a maid at the Huo's would mean constantly running into Huo Yize, she wouldn't have agreed to it in the first place. But now that she'd already sold her labor here for two days, leaving halfway through would be too much of a loss...

  Huo Yize noticed Tong Mai's retreating figure, "I'll go find her," he walked straight in the direction of Tong Mai...

  "I'm not worthy of your attention, can't I just hide?" Tong Mai muttered to herself as she turned her head back and rushed forward. Luckily... he didn't catch up, it seemed he wasn't looking for her. Just as she was secretly rejoicing, a cold voice rang out above her head, "Are you that afraid of me?" He had never thought that Tong Mai was afraid of him, she had enough courage to provoke his authority.

  However, at this moment, she actually started playing hide-and-seek with him. The cold intent that flashed in He Yize's eyes was enough to lower the air around them, and due to this chilly temperature, Tong Mai had no choice but to look straight at him.

  He was clearly behind her, but in a flash, he had slipped to her front like a ghost...

  The originally proud and complacent mood of Tong Mai was shattered in an instant, scattering into pieces.

  "Master, what's the matter with you? You've been bothering me every day... Do you have any intention of seducing me?"

  She's pretending to be cute on purpose, knowing that He Yi Ze dislikes her this way, so she deliberately shows him the side of herself that he dislikes, and naturally, he will retreat...

  "Stop showing off in front of me, I have something to talk to you about," the simple two sentences revealed his current anger, and countless flames flowed out from his scarlet eyes. He habitually pinched her wrist, as if he was going to twist it off.

  "It hurts... it hurts... let go, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it directly, I'm listening. What's with your attitude all day? You always find excuses to come to my room, am I wrong for saying you're tempting me?" Tong Mai replied with a straight face and a bad tone, as if only he had the right to be in a bad mood, why couldn't she get angry too?

  These two days' performance, she thought she had done enough, but he insisted on picking on her, obviously trying to provoke her into "foul play".

  "You're in no position to speak seductively, I'll find you today, it's all your own doing..."

  "That's enough, I don't need you to keep reminding me. At the beginning, it was my fault for tempting you, I know, I know everything. If I had known that you were Huo Yize, the young master of the Huo family, and Yin Yuqi's fiancé, I would have stayed far away."

  In fact, what happened in London had always been a deep wound in her heart. Every time she calmed down and thought about it, she would blame herself for being rash and impulsive...

  Otherwise, how would I have gotten into such big trouble when I returned home?

  Anyway, no matter what Tong Mai said, Huo Yize seemed dissatisfied. His handsome face was overcast with dark clouds. "Last time, I didn't take any safety measures. You'd better not get me into trouble. Handle it yourself."

  Because of entanglement with Yin Yuqi, suddenly thought of Tong Mai, so it was early in the morning that came to the Huo family...

  But now he's a bit unclear whether he wants to see her or just simply warn her.

  "Depend on..."

  The word "yì" is quite unattractive.

  She thought it was something big, but it turned out to be for this.

  "Huo Shao Ye, don't worry, your seed will absolutely not stay inside me. First, I'm not a naive 15 or 16-year-old girl, I know what birth control pills are; second, even if I get pregnant, isn't there something called induced abortion? I'll definitely go and get rid of it." Her words were extremely casual, as if she didn't take this matter seriously at all.

  To be honest, she really didn't know if that thing called painless abortion was truly painless. Just thinking about going to the hospital for an abortion... wow, her whole body felt like it was being pierced by needles, intense pain, and fear arose.

  Tong Mai stared at Huo Yize, with more anger and hatred in his eyes.

  This guy who doesn't wear a condom, this irresponsible male, should be dragged out and minced into meat sauce...

  Upon hearing this, Huo Yize's face changed drastically, turning green and purple by turns. A raging fire had already ignited at his chest, scorching and tormenting him. "With your nonchalant attitude, you must have done it several times before," he said with a sour tone, trying to appear as if he didn't care, but the words that came out of his mouth were absolutely not indifferent...

  Tong Mai didn't think so, did he not know what he had done or hadn't done? Shouldn't he be very clear about her body? Tong Mai tilted his head and refused to look at that despicable face.

  "Speak," he growled in a low tone, increasing the volume.

  "What do you want me to say, and what kind of answer do you want to hear? Alright, tell me, please clearly tell me, what kind of response from me would make you slightly satisfied, I can say it according to your meaning."

  Tong Mai's response thoroughly shut up He Yi Ze's mouth.

  He really didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear, anyway, as long as she spoke, as long as he looked at her, he would involuntarily feel inexplicably annoyed and irritated, yet he desperately wanted to hold her tight, fiercely kiss her, fiercely possess her...

  "You'd better be smart and not cause me any trouble. If you provoke me, you'll bear the consequences." The low, husky voice was full of warning and sharpness, his dark eyes fixed on her, allowing no room for even a hint of arrogance.

  "I received your warning, don't say there won't be any trouble, even if there really is trouble, I will be the first to run into the hospital and solve it myself, no need for you to remind me, this reminder of yours is completely unnecessary."

  He thought he was a good seed, but the lady wasn't interested...
