Chapter Thirteen A Lifetime of Goodbyes

  "Wheat, sit down! You just ate and you're already full? Listen to Yiyu talk about the interesting things in London... Hmm, Wheat, didn't you also live in London for a long time? Look at what Yiyu said is interesting, is it the same as what you think is interesting in London?"

  Yin Yuqi suddenly seemed to remember that the London where Xiao Mai studied and the London mentioned by Huo Yize were actually the same place.

  Tong Mai's lips curled up in an awkward arc, his inner panic infinitely expanding. "I don't think London is interesting at all, a very unremarkable place." He swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down.

  On her opposite side, Huo Yize's face had a subtle smile, an untamed and unpredictable one, as well as an unignorable awe...

  In fact, he is not as calm and gentle as he appears on the surface, but rather cold-blooded and ruthless to a certain extent.

  It was only when he was with the Yin family that he perhaps truly regarded them as his own, so in front of them, he shed a bit of his coldness and ruthlessness.

  Tong Mai's eyes secretly measured him, pondering his thoughts.

  "There is a very famous pub in downtown London, I don't know if your sister has been there?"

  Huo Yize's gaze fell on Tong Mai, giving her an inescapable feeling that forced her to make eye contact with him. His rich and sonorous voice was pleasant to listen to, but it also carried a daunting majesty.

  He seemed to be intentionally playing a psychological game with her, slowly and deliberately, every sentence, every word, was designed to push her out of control...

  Tong Mai bit her lip, her heart beating abnormally irregularly.

  Her silence earned her the focus of everyone's gaze.

  Chen Yuhua really didn't like the look of her, "Needless to say, she must have gone! And isn't it just spending your dad's money recklessly? It's not her own earnings, how can she be stingy?"

  These words were filled with thick contempt, and he glanced at Tong Mai with disdain.

  Tong Mai subconsciously clenched his fists and had an urge to vent.

  Extravagance?

  In all these years, apart from paying her tuition fees, Yin's father had not given her any living expenses. All of it was earned by herself through part-time jobs. Even if she were to splurge, she would be spending her own money.

  So what if I went to a pub? Was it bothering her or something? The most depressing thing was that the first time I went, I actually ran into Huo Yize and all that stuff happened afterwards...

  "I've never been there." She threw out a few icy words, her tone seemingly repressed anger.

  Even if Huo Yize knew she had been there, she still boldly told a lie.

  But as soon as she finished speaking, her face turned from crimson to pale in an instant, fearing that Huo Yize would expose her.

  "Oh..." He slightly raised his tone, still with an evil charm and elegant demeanor, just like that night...

  Tong Mai's whole body was tense, really wanting to leave quickly. She had a feeling that if she stayed here for another moment, she would definitely trigger a heart attack. It was simply too torturous.

  "What a pity... The wine there is truly exceptional." He withdrew his gaze and continued to eat the food on his plate with great refinement.

  Lies...

  Tong Mai let out a loud sigh in her heart, is this considered passing? It should be. Finally, she had a little bit of courage to lift her head and look at him.

  The first time I saw him, he was eating, and he looked so good, his every move exuded a charming aura.

  "Really? Next time you go to London, can I come with you too?" Yinyuqi leaned in close to him, exuding a sweet and feminine scent, her face filled with a bright and cheerful smile, as if she had no worries at all, only happiness and joy surrounding her like a princess.

  Tong Mai saw it, and for a moment, she was absolutely jealous, with a sour feeling in her chest.

  However, her fate was different and she didn't have anything good to be bitter about...

  "Hmm." Huo Yize nodded in agreement.

  Tong Mai's gaze fell on him once again.

  A luxurious suit, exquisite attire on him, at first glance, seems to be a very steady and introverted man, however, upon closer inspection, what pours out from him is more of a majestic, awe-inspiring, and regal aura...

  What kind of man is he? How could she possibly provoke him? But she did, and now all she can hope for is to escape unscathed.

  Tomorrow's interview, she must perform well. Once hired, she will immediately move out of the Yin house and say goodbye to this place for life, and most importantly, never see him again...
