The Romance Of Mr. Walton-Chapter 48
Huo Tingshen walked in front of her and handed the flowers to her: "Congratulations, the defense is over."
She extended her hand and received the flower. "Thank you."
"Why are you so dispirited? Isn't the reply to the essay ideal? In my opinion, you are someone who can never go wrong. "
She tried her best to control her emotions. She pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Huo Tingshen frowned. "Looks like you really have something on your mind. What's wrong?"
Wen Qing was slightly surprised. He was the first person who could tell from her expression that she had something on her mind. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
Because the more painful the situation was, the more she would disguise herself because she didn't know what to do. She would make herself look no different from an ordinary person.
Mother once said, the strongest thing in the world is not steel, but the human heart.
As strong as your heart is, your world is as strong as it can be.
Mom also said, do not let people easily see your weakness, that way, you will become very easy to bully.
The cell phone in her bag rang.
She lowered her head and opened her bag before taking out her phone to take a look.
Seeing that it was Gao Moran, she directly hung up and threw it back into her bag.
She still hadn't decided how to face him.
Huo Tingshen raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going to answer the phone?"
"I don't want to."
She took a deep breath. "Thank you for the flowers. I'll go back first."
She was about to go into the house.
Huo Tingshen pulled her wrist, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
His voice was so authoritative that she couldn't help but look back at him.
Seeing the mist in her eyes flicker, he frowned, "Speak, if you don't speak, who will help you?"
She raised her delicate and beautiful eyes. "Can I still use your embrace?"
With that, she stepped forward, holding the flower in one hand and putting her other hand around his waist. She then pressed her cheek against his shoulder.
For a moment, she really thought that if she continued to be alone, she would go crazy.
She forced herself to calm down in his arms.
His arms were so warm, so warm.
"Huo Tingshen, can you touch my head and tell me that I'm fine?"
Huo Tingshen lowered his head to look at her, who was in his arms, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
He put one hand around her waist, the other gently stroking her hair, his chin resting on her head. "With me here, you'll be fine."
Her heart shrank, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.
Yes, if her mother were still alive, she would have been comforted.
If Dad... It was just an ordinary father who loved her. At such a time, he would probably tell her, 'Don't be afraid, the heavens are falling down and you still have a dad!'
It's okay, it's going to be okay.
She turned her head slightly and rubbed her eyes against his chest.
She didn't want anyone to see her tears.
But in front of him, she couldn't seem to control herself.
The phone in his bag rang again.
She ignored him. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
Huo Tingshen asked, "Did that Gao Moran bully you again?"
"Do you know," she spoke slowly, "I really, really put in a lot of effort. Everyone said that I was smart and that I had the talent to study, but only I knew where that talent came from. I clearly relied entirely on my teeth to persevere and work like a madman.
When people play, I'm working. While others sleep, I am learning. The reason why I work so hard is because I hope that one day, I will be able to realize my dream. But now, they have trampled on my only dream. "
"Who, who are they?" Huo Tingshen hugged her tightly and felt angry inside.
"Principal, she asked the woman who robbed my boyfriend to take my place as a teacher."
Huo Tingshen raised his eyebrows. The one who dared to provoke her was a daughter-in-law from the Gao family with eyes on top of her head.
"If I was replaced because my grades were not good or my ability was insufficient, I would admit that the current situation makes it impossible for me to understand why the rich and powerful can trample over the future of others like this."
Wen Qing seemed to have thought of something and left his arms. She took two steps back and looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Qing breathed heavily, "I almost forgot, Huo Tingshen, you are a real capitalist too. If you occasionally meet with our principal, it means that your relationship should be pretty good."
She shook her head. "I actually told you about this. Do you really think I'm laughable now?"
Huo Tingshen raised his eyebrows: "Are you done talking now, you're going to destroy the bridge after crossing the river? The one who comes first to ask for comfort, is you. "
"Sorry, it's my problem. I didn't think of you as Huo Tingshen just now, I just ??" She sighed: "Forget it, I'm not in a good mood today, so I'm not suitable to talk. Huo Tingshen, you should go back first."
She turned around to enter the house. Huo Tingshen hugged her, "Wen Qing, I always thought you were very smart. But now, it seems that you aren't."
She looked back at him.
He smirked. "You don't even know how to seize the opportunity that is right in front of your eyes?"
She frowned and thought for a moment.
Huo Tingshen stared at her. If it was an ordinary woman, she would have begged for his help in a cute ma
er.
However, she actually treated him as an accomplice of her enemy.
He wanted to pry open her head and see what was in it.
"I think you've become a nerd from studying. Have you never thought that I could help you? Don't forget, I still owe you a favor."
Wen Qing knew that these words were tempting.
However, she clearly knew in her heart that her relationship with Huo Tingshen must end.
If they continued to pester like this, it would only get more and more chaotic.
She had never begged for anyone's consolation, but in front of Huo Tingshen, she did it subconsciously.
He had to admit that this was a charming man. He could easily make her let down her guard.
But what if she let down her guard?
She was afraid that her future would be harmed, so she chose to retreat to her original position and protect herself.
She looked at him with alienation in her eyes, "You don't owe me anything. Just as you said, I was the one who took the initiative that night. I won't use my mistake to make you pay. I'm still the same old saying, Huo Tingshen, please keep your distance from me.
If you think that I am different from the girls you know and want to hunt me down as a prey, then please give up on that idea because I can't afford to play your game. In this lifetime, I will not have anything to do with rich people like you. "
Hearing her words, Huo Tingshen tilted his head and smiled. This woman couldn't be more obvious.
She really did despise him.
However, this little girl had overestimated herself.
Could it be that if she told him to give up, he would really give up?
What a joke, he was Huo Tingshen.
He hugged his arms and laughed calmly: "The reason why you are resisting against the rich and my approach, could it be because of Bai Family?"
She frowned, it had been a long time since he mentioned Bai Family. Why is it that today ??
"What, are you afraid that your identity as an illegitimate daughter of Bai Family will be discovered?"
