Shen Yan's eyebrows arched as she smiled and she patted Yan Jinyi's back gently. "I heard you went to the police station, what happened?"

"Nothing, I was just there to answer some questions. How long do you plan to stay this time, Shen Yan?"

Shen Yan's smile stiffened as a touch of despondency flashed in her eyes. Although it was fleeting,Yan Jinyi saw it.

She reckoned that it must have something to do with Huo Chengyu.

'Are the Huo brothers all the same?'

'What else can they do other than hurt women?"

Yan Jinyi glared at Huo Xishen and Huo Zihang with a sharp gaze.

Both of them were confused.

"I'll leave after the New Year, we're almost done with preparing for the fashion show next year. Jinyi, if you're interested, will you do me the honor and model for us?" Shen Yan asked in a soft and tender voice.

Yan Jinyi nodded and said, "It's alright, I won't charge you a fee."

It was rare that Yan Jinyi would be willing to work for free.

Huo Zihang looked at Shen Yan with some jealousy.

'Why? Can't handsome men enjoy the same benefits that pretty women do!?!'

"Sister-in-law, you were away for so long and I missed you so much. I have so much to say to you in private. You don't mind letting me sleep in your room tonight, do you?" Yan Jinyi asked in a sweet and coquettish voice.

Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan looked at Huo Xishen in unison.

Huo Xishen removed his jacket and hung it on his wrist, still looking as aloof as ever.

"Darling, Sister-in-law needs to get some rest."

Yan Jinyi glared at him and retorted, "I'm not going to disturb her."

After thinking about it, Shen Yan decided to turn her down. "I heard that Xishen has only recently returned too. Jinyi, you've been away from him for a long time too, you two should spend more time together. Why don't we talk after you're done with work in the day?"

Yan Jinyi was displeased.

"Alright then, rest early, Sister-in-law. Feel free to call me if there's anything."

Huo Xishen watched Yan Jinyi go upstairs and then turned to look at Shen Yan again. "Sister-in-law, you seem to have a good relationship with my wife."

"Jinyi is quite clingy with me. She's a good girl, Xishen, you have to treasure her."

Huo Xishen nodded and headed upstairs too.

It was already in the wee hours of the morning and Yan Jinyi was really sleepy. After a simple shower, she was just about to lie down on the bed when the door to her room was suddenly pushed open.

Huo Xishen had already changed into his pajamas and entered calmly.

"What are you doing?"

"It's cold," he said as he glanced out the window.

"Darling, you need someone to warm you up."

"Huh?" Yan Jinyi squinted.

Huo Xishen walked over to the big bed and sat down. "I can do just that."

'Do what? Warm me up?'

Yan Jinyi stared at Huo Xishen for a long time before laughing insidiously. "Mr. Huo, it turns out you're so eager to cuddle with me. Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Darling, please mind your words."

He just wanted to try to curb his physical discomfort.

"What's there to mind? Mr. Huo, don't you want to make love to me?"

Yan Jinyi got into an extremely alluring pose.

She had a lithe and slender body. With a smile on her pretty face, she said, "Since you've taken the initiative to come here tonight, I'm fine with it."

After saying that, she quickly climbed onto the bed and snuggled up under the duvet. Supporting her head with one hand, she said, "I'm ready, come on."

"…"

Being the gentleman he was, Huo Xishen lifted the duvet and occupied only a small side of the bed, leaving a large space between the two of them. It was as if there was a galaxy keeping them apart.

'Huh?'

Yan Jinyi raised her brows and inched over to pin him down beneath her when she saw that he had closed his eyes and was about to sleep.

She propped herself up above him with her arms and Huo Xishen met her glistening eyes as soon as he opened his.
