Chapter 262 - "Only one person can call him Big Brother Huo in this world and that's me." (2)

Her cheeks were a pinkish color and there were shyness in her limpid, black eyes. She couldnt hide how happy she was.

Huo Sishen, on the other hand, did not take a seat but just looked at her from top down.

Have lunch with me?

A cold sarcastic feel came out from between his thin lips.

It seems that Miss Luo still doesnt think that the Luos current situation is bad enough.

Luo Pingting turned pale immediately.

Big Brother Huo, I know the rumors were all fabricated. I trust you as much as Chuchu does.

Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.

Luo Pingting thought he had believed her and gave her a chance to explain herself. She wanted to start immediately.

Second Brother Huo had mentioned in the past that you dont like to interact with others.

Which was why I had never approached you.

She lowered her head and her cheeks somewhat red.

Which was why she failed to notice the sarcasm in Huo Sishens eyes.

Big Brother Huo, you have been taken care of Chuchu since she was a child and you also take care of all of her friends. You have always been nice to us. You cant possibly be someone whod curse others. Im sure those are all accidents.

Luo Pingting grabbed onto the napkin.

Chuchu and I always hope that youd be able to move on from that. We only want you to be fine.

My parents, nevertheless, never allowed me to get close to you.

The contempt on Huo Sishens face thickened.

Now that the Luos had come crashing down, they could no longer spare the time to watch over Luo Pingting.

Youve invited me to go and play the piano at your place, to entertain you, said Luo Pingting, blushing. Big Brother Huo, I, I am more than happy to do that, except for Gu Shishi

Luo Pingting gritted her teeth as she got to that point.

You and I are not related. Im afraid thatd make your fianc jealous.

She had always been warned by the elderlies at home to stay away from the Huos; otherwise, itd bring about bad luck and unfortunate events.

She had been staying away this entire time but the Luos went belly up anyway. And her dad was arrested on top of that!

She, Luo Pingting, had lost everything overnight. She was worse than Gu Shishi, a peasant, and being walked over by her!

And now Big Brother Huo had asked her to go to his place to play the piano. What was the meaning of that? Had he finally noticed her?

He wanted to get close to her?

She had nothing now. Not job and no father to protect her!

And Big Brother Huo tossed out the life-saving rope to her at this moment. What was his intention? To save her, of course! To get her out of her dire situation!

Huo ChuChu was right all along. If her brother truly cursed people, then the first one to be affected with be his darling sister!

Why would it be his father and grandfather who were barely home?

That was to stay that those were all accidents!

Gu Shishi was still very much alive right now and herself, Luo Pingting, was born to be rich. She was naturally lucky and curses wouldnt work on her!

All she could do right now was to hold on to this cold and restrained man who was so handsome that she had fallen in love with him since she was 15 years old.

He was aloof. His maturity was so attractive. That was something that Huo Wencheng would never measure up to!

During times like this, not even Wushuang could help me. Even Uncle Gu, who was close to my dad could only comfort me. Big Brother Huo, you, you are the only one whos willing to help me out.

As she was talking, Luo Pingting almost moved herself.

Anyone who was willing to be nice to her at this point must be her suitor!

Other than her, who else could relate to the feelings of being abandoned by everyone else that Big Brother Hou had gone through?

Even her best friends had abandoned her. All her mother was doing was to cry all day long. She was so useless and Luo Pingting felt so isolated and helpless!

Overnight, there was nothing left. She was drowned by the feeling of desperation, fear, and it was so suffocating

Exactly like what he had been through back then!

You are the only one who can understand what I am going through right now, Big Brother Huo.

Thank you.

There were tears in Luo Pingtings eyes.

Huo Sishens lips shut tightly.

His eyes became colder and colder.

But before he was able to say anything, he heard a voice.

Luo Pingting? You are here

It was Chen Kexin who was surprised.

She quickly interrupted Luo Pingting pouring out her heart.

Huo Sishen looked up, displeased, but his cold eyes paused.
