Shen Yaowei sneaked into the courtyard from the back door. Along the way, she paid special attention to being invisible and quietly returned to her room.
She pushed open the door a crack and slipped in. Shen Yaowei closed the door quietly and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yaoyao, where have you been?”
At this moment, Huo Junhan’s voice sounded behind her.
Shen Yaowei trembled and slowly turned to look behind her. She realized that Huo Junhan was sitting by her bed and staring at her expressionlessly.
Shen Yaowei’s heart pounded, and her eyes widened. “Junhan, why are you back so early…”
Huo Junhan didn’t answer Shen Yaowei’s question. He stood up and slowly walked towards her.
Shen Yaowei lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak. She rubbed her hands back and forth, thinking of a way.
Huo Junhan stood in front of Shen Yaowei and lowered his head to stare at her faintly. The shadow cast by his figure completely enveloped her.
Shen Yaowei felt a great pressure. Then, she opened her arms and hugged Huo Junhan’s waist, pressing her fragrant body against him.
She first rubbed against Huo Junhan’s arms before Shen Yaowei looked up and said pitifully, “Junhan, I was wrong. I just wanted to help you. Besides, 1 didn’t come back late on purpose. I met a very strange man on the street…”
Shen Yaowei quickly told Huo Junhan the entire process of meeting that man word for word.
Huo Junhan listened and didn’t speak for a long time.
Feeling Huo Junhan’s aura that was as deep as the night, Shen Yaowei lowered her head and stared at her toes.
From Huo Junhan’s angle, he could see the top of Shen Yaowei’s head and her hair.
She looked a little cute.
Huo Junhan’s gaze softened. He turned around and walked to the tea table to sit at it.
Shen Yaowei quickly followed him to the tea table and poured a cup of tea for Huo Junhan. She handed it to him with both hands. “Junhan, have some tea.” “Who taught you your martial arts?” Huo Junhan took the teacup and asked calmly.
Shen Yaowei sat opposite Huo Junhan and said, “My mother has a lot of books.
I learned them from books.”
She wasn’t lying about that.
She had learned some things by herself because of Huo Junhan.
But there were also many things that she had learned from reading.
“You believe what that person said?” Huo Junhan asked again.
Shen Yaowei thought about it carefully before answering, “I don’t believe him completely. After all, I don’t know him either.”
Huo Junhan stared at Shen Yaowei’s fair face and frowned slightly.
He actually couldn’t see through Yaoyao’s appearance.
Why was that?
“Junhan, is the Imperial Preceptor the most powerful fortune teller in our Northern Kingdom?” Shen Yaowei hesitated for a moment and asked Huo Junhan.
She could feel that something was wrong between the Imperial Preceptor and Junhan. She wanted to clarify this matter.
Previously, she was still worried that she didn’t have a suitable opportunity to approach the Imperial Preceptor. Now, she did.
The aura around Huo Junhan instantly turned much colder. He looked at Shen Yaowei faintly and said, “So what if he is? Do you want him to read your fortune?”
“If you don’t like me to look for him, then 1 won’t look for him,” Shen Yaowei said bluntly. She smiled brightly at Huo Junhan. “I don’t want you to be unhappy.”
Looking at Shen Yaowei’s smile, Huo Junhan clearly felt as if his heart had been gently touched by something warm and soft, successfully dissipating the coldness in his heart.
He tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand and slowly said, “I’m not unhappy. If you want, I’ll bring you to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence tomorrow..”
