There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 67.2

Hearing a pitifully pleading tone from Huo Jun?

Could it be that he had knocked his brain silly?

Despite such internal grumbling, Qin Ke still didn’t struggle away again.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, there was a knock on the door of Huo Jun’s bedroom from outside. Yan An’s voice, tinged with a hint of playfulness, came through—

“The sun is high in the sky, darlings. Are you planning to sleep through today’s dinner as well?”

Qin Ke, being extremely shy in this regard, felt her cheeks heat up upon hearing this. She lightly pushed Huo Jun.

“Sister Yan An has come to urge us.”

After saying this, Qin Ke paused, tilted her head up, and looked at Huo Jun with a confused and innocent gaze, “How did they know you were awake?”

“…” Huo Jun let out a light, displeased click of his tongue near her neck. “Probably because they came to disturb us earlier this morning without any sense of propriety.”

Qin Ke was helpless.

Twenty minutes later.

Qin Ke and Huo Jun, having finished washing up, finally appeared together in the main building’s dining room.

The only thing that surprised Qin Ke and Huo Jun was that Huo Shengfeng, who should have been on a business trip abroad, was also present.

Huo Jun frowned slightly, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t speak, only pulling Qin Ke to sit on one side.

While Huo Jun could ignore it, Qin Ke couldn’t.

After coming to her senses, she politely greeted.

“Hello, Uncle.”

“Mm.” Huo Shengfeng, sitting at the head of the table, seemed to have no objection to his son casually bringing a girl to the dining table. He even looked at Qin Ke with what could be described as a gentle expression.

Qin Ke wasn’t surprised by this either.

Although she hadn’t had much contact with Huo Shengfeng in her previous life, in the few impressions she had, Huo Shengfeng was a person completely different from his son Huo Jun in terms of personality – at least the personality he displayed outwardly.

Compared to the Huo family’s status and power, he looked excessively gentle. In Qin Ke’s memory, she couldn’t recall ever seeing Huo Shengfeng angry or enraged.

But of course, she wouldn’t naively believe that Huo Shengfeng was as gentle and harmless as he appeared.

Qin Ke lowered her eyes, suddenly realizing that her hand was still being held in Huo Jun’s palm – in front of everyone else at the table.

Qin Ke’s face heated up, and she discreetly tried to pull away – originally intending to break free, but Huo Jun, sensing her attempt, only held on tighter.

Qin Ke felt both annoyed and helpless.

Seeing that Huo Jun completely ignored Huo Shengfeng’s presence, Huo Jingyan couldn’t help but frown slightly. After a few seconds, he spoke in a calm tone.

“Young Master Zhonglou, Mr. Huo has specifically cancelled all his appointments to rush back for you.”

Huo Jingyan didn’t say more, stopping there, and then looked meaningfully at Huo Jun after speaking.

But Huo Jun had no reaction, as if he hadn’t heard Huo Jingyan’s words at all.

Qin Ke didn’t say anything.

Huo Jun’s past events were ones she hadn’t experienced or participated in, so she didn’t feel she had the right to mediate, nor would she try to interfere in his relationships with others based on Huo Jun’s feelings for her.

The dining room fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

Huo Shengfeng folded the newspaper in his hand and handed it to a servant nearby. He looked up at Huo Jun, his expression unreadable.

“This afternoon, have the family doctor give you a full body check-up.”

Huo Jun didn’t look up.

By now, the first course had been served in front of everyone. Huo Jun cut a piece of the appetizer bread with his knife and fork, and naturally placed it on the plate in front of the girl beside him.

Only after doing this did he respond without even lifting his eyelids, “No need, I won’t die.” His tone was cold.

Hearing Huo Jun’s choice of words, Huo Shengfeng frowned slightly, “You were unconscious for two days.”

“…” Remembering something, Huo Jun’s hand holding the knife and fork suddenly paused in mid-air. After a moment, he came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and spoke with a hint of light mockery, “Oh, no wonder I only want to eat now, not talk.”

Huo Shengfeng paused.

Clearly, he was also at a loss with this only son of his.

The rest of the lunch ended in silence.

After confirming that Huo Jun’s body indeed had no major issues, Huo Shengfeng immediately went to the airport after the meal – Huo Jingyan hadn’t exaggerated, the market development in Country B was at a crucial stage, and he had put aside who knows how many matters to rush back personally.

As soon as Huo Shengfeng left, the atmosphere at the dining table immediately relaxed.

Yan An looked towards the two, her gaze falling to the area hidden by the table –

“I’ve been wanting to ask, did you two become conjoined twins after sleeping once?”
