Chapter 231 The Scumbag’s Change of Heart
Chu Tingting was overjoyed and immediately picked up the glass of wine on the table. "Yan Ting, I offer you this toast. Thank you for helping me find a job."
Yan Ting smirked coldly in his heart. This Chu Tingting might seem innocent and naive, but her methods were certainly seasoned and cunning.
He had merely said he would look into it, never promised to actually arrange the job for her. Yet, with this toast, she was acting as if her success was already guaranteed.
Lin Banxia had turned into an unemployed drifter. Early in the morning, she grabbed a bucket and a shovel, intending to loosen the soil and pull weeds in the garden.
She used to do such tasks often alongside her grandparents. By now, she was extremely skilled at it.
While she was bent over pulling weeds, suddenly, Aunt Lan walked over hurriedly. "Banxia, Second Young Master Huo has come. I couldn’t stop him, he’s already inside!"
Lin Banxia looked up briefly and said to Aunt Lan, "Aunt Lan, go about your business. It’s okay!"
Huo Qinglin spotted Lin Banxia from afar. She was dressed in the simplest casual clothes, wearing a white sunhat and a pair of waterproof shoes—looking completely like a countryside girl. If it weren’t for her delicate and beautiful face still tugging at his heartstrings, he might’ve questioned whether his constant thoughts of her lately were some kind of madness.
Lin Banxia’s face was slick with sweat, and a few playful strands of black hair stuck to her fair, snow-white skin. It made her appear even more radiant and pure, exuding an almost primal beauty.
Huo Qinglin stood before Lin Banxia, looking down at her from above. His eyes radiated warmth and intensity.
"Banxia, I really didn’t expect you to have been married to Yan Ting. You two truly managed to keep it hidden from everyone in the world," Huo Qinglin said with a touch of ridicule.
