An Jiaqing’s eyes were already filled with tears.

Now that she was so anxious, tears as big as beans began to fall.

Song Yunshu put down her hand. Half of her face was still swollen, and her expression was cold.

It was as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with her.

“Qingqing!”

An Linghe reminded An Jiaqing again.

His tightly furrowed brows showed his temper that was on the verge of exploding.

Cao Qin immediately pulled her daughter and used her eyes to signal her to apologize.

An Jiaqing was furious, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and apologize to Song Yunshu unwillingly.

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, she turned around and ran upstairs.

Huo Cen’s eyes remained deep when he saw this.

“The old mansion is still waiting for us to go back for lunch, so we will be leaving soon.”

Song Yunshu looked at Huo Cen in surprise.

Go to the Huo family’s old mansion?

Why didn’t she know about this beforehand?

It was too sudden. She wasn’t prepared at all.

Huo Cen met her questioning gaze and was not in a hurry to explain.

Instead, he nodded calmly at An Linghe and walked out of the house with Song Yunshu in his arms.

An Linghe stood up and wanted to ask them to stay, but it was too late.

Huo Cen and Song Yunshu disappeared from his sight.

At that moment, he did not care if they had left or not and kicked the sofa heavily.

With his hands on his hips, he was obviously furious.

Unable to find a vent for his frustration, he could only turn to Cao Qin, who looked troubled and conflicted, and he yelled loudly.

“It’s all your fault for raising such a reckless daughter, who ruined everything.”

An Linghe had just finished speaking when a dog barked outside the villa.

They looked at each other and were shocked. They immediately stood up and went out of the villa.

… …

Outside, Song Yunshu bent down and was about to get into the car to leave when a poodle suddenly rushed out from the backyard and pounced straight at her. Its head bumped into Song Yunshu’s feet.

The sudden appearance of the dog scared Song Yunshu so much that she instinctively stepped back.

Huo Cen was behind her.

Song Yunshu subconsciously turned around to look at him when her back bumped into a warm and broad chest.

Song Yunshu’s eyes were filled with panic and confusion.

Huo Cen’s expression darkened. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

The poodle bared its teeth again, revealing a fierce look.

It opened its mouth and barked a few times.

Then, it pounced on Song Yunshu, unwilling to give up.

Seeing this, Huo Cen lifted his foot.

He kicked the mad dog away without hesitation.

He did not give it any chance to get close.

After the poodle was kicked away, it barked twice on the ground. It looked at Song Yunshu and wanted to approach again, but hindered by Huo Cen, it could only circle around her.

Huo Cen placed a hand on Song Yunshu’s back.

His expression was gloomy as if he wanted to eat someone.

The chauffeur immediately got out of the car and chased the dog away.

However, this vicious dog was really ferocious. It did not give anyone a chance to get close at all.

An Linghe, his wife, and An Jiaqing arrived late.

When An Jiaqing saw Song Yunshu throwing herself into Huo Cen’s arms, she was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.

She shouted, “Xiao Guai!”

Xiao Guai immediately turned around and rushed to her feet with a whine.

An Linghe first glared at his daughter.

Then, he pretended to walk to Huo Cen and the others and asked with a simulated voice.

“Yunshu, are you alright?”

When Song Yunshu heard An Jiaqing and An Linghe’s voices, she lifted her head from Huo Cen’s embrace.

When Song Yunshu realized that their actions were unusually ambiguous, she immediately took a step back in panic.

She shook her head with a pale face.

An Jiaqing was half-squatting on the steps with one of her hands gently stroking Xiao Guai’s body.

“Xiao Guai is usually very obedient. I’m afraid it smelled something that it hates today.”

As she spoke, her cold and venomous gaze fell on Song Yunshu.

It was as if her eyes were filled with poison, as if she wanted to devour Song Yunshu alive.

Song Yunshu met her gaze and clenched her fists.

When she was young, she had been bitten by An Jiaqing’s puppy once. From then on, she was extremely afraid of dogs.

The dog that had bitten her was killed by a passing car when a servant took it out for a walk.

Although An Jiaqing cried sadly at the time, Song Yunshu felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

Xiao Guai was bought by An Jiaqing not long ago.

This dog was usually tied up in the backyard. Today, it was released for some reason and coincidentally ran straight toward her.

It was hard not to suspect that everything was premeditated.

She couldn’t help but look at An Jiaqing.

It was a cold and straightforward gaze.

“You can’t even control a mere animal. Mr. An, you really have a good upbringing.”
