After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, the fake heiress binds herself to a rough-looking man

Huo Li stared at her.

Jiang Yu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Huo Li grabbed her hand and leaned down to kiss her fingertips.

"Jiang Yu".

"Um?"

"Stay away from Huo Ming'an from now on."

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes: "Do you even need to tell me? I feel like washing my eyes with disinfectant whenever I see him."

Huo Li said, "He didn't just want to harass you."

Jiang Yu's smile faded slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"The locator is just the first step," Huo Li said calmly. "He wants to know where you went and who you met."

Jiang Yu felt a chill on her back.

Huo Ming'an didn't like her.

There was no affection in those eyes, only possessiveness and calculation.

"Why is he staring at me? I'm not the real daughter of the Jiang family anymore, nor am I his marriage partner."

Huo Li's eyes darkened.

"Some people don't care whether it's worth it or not, they only care whether they can get it."

Jiang Yu understood.

She winced in disgust: "Is he sick?"

"Um."

Huo Li answered decisively.

"My brother had someone throw away that bouquet of flowers. If the GPS tracker is still in the trash can, what if he takes it back?"

"Won't."

How did you know?

Huo Li said calmly, "Someone's watching."

Jiang Yu paused.

"Who?"

"friend."

Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes: "Your friend's business scope is that wide too?"

Huo Li didn't explain, only saying, "Jiang Yu'an's people threw the flowers at the mall's garbage disposal point, and before Huo Ming'an's people even got there, the flowers were intercepted."

Jiang Yu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

"So he really sent people back to look for it?"

"Um."

Huo Li looked up at her: "The locator wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. He had prepared it."

Jiang Yu frowned in disgust.

"Is he sick?"

He is quite ill.

Huo Li lowered his voice: "So if you see him in the future, don't be alone with him. Don't accept his things. And don't be soft-hearted."

Jiang Yu muttered to herself, "Why should I be soft-hearted towards him? I'm not the Virgin Mary."

Huo Li glanced at her.

Jiang Yu immediately added, "I promise, I'll stay 800 meters away from him."

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

"3:20."

Upon hearing the time, Jiang Yu immediately wilted.

"The rehearsal starts at six, and I need to be back by 5:30 at the latest."

"Two more hours."

Huo Li said.

Jiang Yu cautiously took a half step back.

"What do you want to do?"

Huo Li looked down at her.

"I'll take you out to eat."

Jiang Yu: "..."

She felt a sense of relief, but also a strange sense of loss.

Huo Li noticed the change in her expression and chuckled, "What did you think I was going to do?"

Jiang Yu immediately bristled: "I didn't think anything!"

"She blushed."

"It's hot. There's no air conditioning here."

Huo Li saw that she was being stubborn and didn't expose her.

Before opening the iron gate, he listened carefully to the sounds outside.

Only after confirming that no one was around did he pull Jiang Yu outside.

The small truck was parked outside the logistics area.

Huo Li pulled a plastic bag out from behind the driver's seat.

Inside was a cup of milk tea, two boxes of oden, and a bag of small cakes.

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up.

When did you buy it?

"You just ordered takeout before you came."

Jiang Yu took the milk tea, inserted the straw, and took a sip.

Sweet.

It's icy.

She was about to praise him when Huo Li stared at her.

"Drink less iced drinks."

Jiang Yu paused, then asked, "Then why did you buy it iced?"

"You like to drink it."

She bit the straw, and her heart suddenly softened beyond belief.

What's wrong with this man?

He verbally disciplined her, but in reality, he indulged her.

She whispered, "That's against the rules."

Huo Li didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Yu handed him the oden. "You can have some too."

Huo Li took it, but first put the fish balls into her box.

Jiang Yu looked up at him: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"You eat."

"Are you treating me like a pig?"

"You're too thin."

Jiang Yu snorted: "I'm just managing my figure."

Huo Li glanced at her.

His gaze swept over her slender waist and then quickly moved away.

"Hmm, well managed."

Jiang Yu almost choked on the fish ball.

"Huo Li!"

He smiled.

He kissed her on her puffed-up cheek.

Jiang Yu immediately fell silent, like a cat whose fur had been stroked.

She sat in the passenger seat of the van, her toes dangling gently, and suddenly felt that these two hours were precious.

A small ball of light floated out, sighing softly.

[Host, your emotional intensity is rising rapidly. At this rate, you won't be kissing him to prolong your life anymore; you'll be kissing him to prolong your life incidentally.]

Jiang Yu's ears felt hot.

"Shut up."

Did I say something wrong?

Jiang Yu did not answer.

Because she felt the system was right.

After the two finished eating, Huo Li went to wash his hands.

Jiang Yu sat in the car, looking down as she sent a message to Lin Xingran.

Are you busy right now?

Lin Xingran replied instantly.

[What, you've finished your scientific discussion with the mechanic?]

Jiang Yu: [Get lost.]

Lin Xingran: [Come back before 5 PM. Jiang Ruoruo just asked where you went, and I told her you have an upset stomach. She said she was going to the restroom to find you.]

Jiang Yu: "..."

This woman is like a persistent ghost.

Just as she was about to reply, Lin Xingran sent another message.

Also, Huo Ming'an seemed to be talking to some people from the student council backstage at the auditorium. I have a feeling they're up to something.

Jiang Yu's expression slowly turned cold.

When Huo Li returned, he noticed that her expression was off.

"What's wrong?"

"Jiang Ruoruo is looking for me, and Huo Ming'an is also in the auditorium." Jiang Yu put her phone away. "Looks like there really is something going on tonight."

Huo Li's expression darkened.

"I'll take you back."

"No need, you're too conspicuous."

"I'm wearing a mask."

Jiang Yu looked at him.

"Huo Li, I can handle it."

Huo Li remained silent.

Jiang Yu reached out and squeezed his fingers.

"I'm not made of paper. Jiang Ruoruo wants to embarrass me, so I'll show her what it means to shoot yourself in the foot."

Huo Li grasped her hand in return.

"Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

Don't be reckless.

"Okay, Master Huo."

She jumped out of the car, took two steps, and then turned back.

Huo Li stood by the car watching her.

Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly ran back and kissed him on the chin while standing on tiptoe.

It's very light.

They kissed and then ran away.

"This is an extra thank you gift!"

Huo Li stood there, his tongue touching his back teeth, unable to suppress his smile.

Jiang Yu returned to the auditorium at exactly five o'clock.

Lin Xingran was waiting for her at the backstage entrance and pulled her over.

"You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I really would have gone to the toilet to fish you out."

Jiang Yu took a breath: "What's going on?"

Lin Xingran stuffed a formal dress into her arms.

"The thing is, Jiang Ruoruo prepared this for you."

Jiang Yu lowered her head.

Inside the bag was a white evening gown.

The fabric is very thin, and if you look closely, there is a line on the side of the waist that has been cut and then re-sewn.

If the movement is too large, it will definitely crack.

Jiang Yu smiled.

"Good."

Lin Xingran's eyes widened: "This is okay?"

Jiang Yu closed the bag.

"Since she likes giving me clothes so much, I should reciprocate."

Just then, Jiang Ruoruo's soft voice came from the backstage entrance.

"Sister, you're back."

Jiang Yu turned her head.

Jiang Ruoruo stood under the lights, wearing a light pink host dress, with a gentle smile on her face.

Huo Ming'an stood next to her.

Huo Ming'an's gaze lingered on Jiang Yu for a long time.

Jiang Yu hugged the bag of clothes, her smile even sweeter than hers.

"I'm back."

Jiang Ruoruo looked at the bag in her hand.

"Do the clothes fit well? I had these specially prepared for my sister."

Jiang Yu nodded.

"It fits perfectly."

A hint of smugness flashed in Jiang Ruoruo's eyes.
