Sticking to Mr.Chairman in This Life-Chapter 1024: Are You Okay?

After extinguishing the cigarette, it seemed like something was amiss. He glanced at the cigarette that was already stubbed out in his hand and finally raised his hand to toss it into the nearby trash can.

Su Ge had already walked over by then.

Huo Jialin glanced at her indifferently, "It’s you."

"Yes." It was still early, and Su Ge directly sat down beside Huo Jialin.

As soon as she sat down, she noticed that the man beside her seemed to tense up.

Then, seemingly subconsciously, he shifted his body sideways, deliberately keeping a distance from her.

Su Ge didn’t mind, rubbing her hands on her knees as she looked at the plum blossoms not far away and spoke softly, "Are you alright?"

"Of course." Huo Jialin replied almost without thinking.

Perhaps he answered too quickly, which made things slightly awkward.

The faint scent of plum blossoms wafted through the air. After a while, he finally asked Su Ge back, "How about you?"

"I’m doing well too." A faint smile appeared on Su Ge’s face as she turned her head to look at him.

It was only when she turned her head that she realized, at some point, Huo Jialin had also shifted his gaze towards her.

Their eyes met, and he obviously panicked for a moment, quickly turning his face away.

"I’m sorry."

Su Ge suddenly apologized.

Then Huo Jialin seemed to let out a cold laugh, "Sorry for what? Is there anyone who needs to apologize between us?"

"I should have told you from the beginning that I have a boyfriend."

The cold wind blew through the yard, and Su Ge clenched her hands tightly on her knees.

"Ha ha." Huo Jialin laughed again.

Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, Su Ge lowered her head, "Maybe I shouldn’t bring up this matter anymore."

Since he had already let it go, it had become a thing of the past.

Bringing it up would be meaningless.

The yard became quiet again for a while, the sound of the wind blowing was exceptionally clear.

"Do you know when I first felt something for you?" Amidst the sound of the wind, Huo Jialin’s voice rang out again, distant and with a hint of gentle sorrow.

"Perhaps, it was during that chance encounter on the street?"

How could Su Ge forget?

The first time Huo Jialin saw her real face, he said she was the girl who made his heart race.

Huo Jialin’s interest in her began the first time he saw her real face, didn’t it?

"No." Who knew Huo Jialin would deny it outright.

"Not?"

Su Ge looked at him strangely.

If not that time, when was it?

She clearly remembered when she went shopping with Huahua and ran into Huo Jiaqi, who approached her and said she was the girl who made his heart race at first sight.

"Do you truly think men only care about appearances?"

Huo Jialin finally didn’t avoid Su Ge’s gaze and turned his face towards her, looking directly into her eyes.

If not, then what?

Su Ge thought to herself but didn’t dare to voice it aloud.

When she first went to the Huo Family, how did Huo Jialin treat her, and after he learned about her real appearance, what was his attitude then?

Maybe not all men only care about appearances, but Huo Jialin seemed to care a lot about appearances.

"You were the first girl I confessed to on the street. Do you really think, after all these years, I’ve only ever seen one pretty girl like you?"

Su Ge didn’t quite understand what Huo Jialin meant, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"From the moment you entered the Huo Family, I had some interest in you." Huo Jialin looked away, speaking somewhat self-deprecatingly, "But that look after your makeup, I really found it hard to accept."
