Chapter 29
Su Ningxi said while looking around, thinking about how to escape.
It was impossible to run out from the door, she was far from the door, and the door had been closed. She couldn't open it at all.
There is always a way out for people, luckily there was a tree next to her. She waited for the right moment, ran over and climbed up the tree swiftly. She only felt that she was faster than monkeys, and didn't know that she had the talent for climbing trees!
Looking at the tigers below craning their necks looking at her, Su Ningxi felt what it was like to be stared at fiercely for the first time. Her heart was thumping wildly and it took a long time to calm down.
"Who's there?" She was about to move to a more comfortable position when she heard a voice.
"Ah..."
The voice came so suddenly that Su Ningxi slipped as she didn't have a steady foothold. She held tightly onto a tree branch with both hands, her feet dangling in the air.
She took a glance downward and saw several tigers walking towards her like crocodiles smelling blood. She was so frightened that her soul almost left her body. Sweat was coming out of her forehead.
"Help! Help, help..." She closed her eyes and shouted for help continuously. Her legs were curled up tightly, afraid that the tigers would bite her feet.
A whistle sounded. The ferocious tigers just a second ago scattered away the next second.
Seeing the tigers leave, Su Ningxi finally let out a breath. She thought to herself that she must thank the person who saved her properly later. He was like her reborn parent. If not for him, she would probably have died in the tigers' mouths by now.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the tiger park." A man walked over and looked at her like a thief. He was in charge of managing the whole tiger park, yet someone still trespassed right under his nose.
"Don't say so much first, can you save me down first?" Su Ningxi said breathlessly. She was about to let go as she couldn't hang on much longer. She had exceeded her limit.
"If you don't say who you are, you can wait to fall down and feed the tigers!"
"Don't, don't... I'll say, I'm the young mistress of the Huo family." Seeing that the man was about to leave, Su Ningxi revealed her identity. Just now she was still grateful to him, but now her gratitude was all gone.
"You're the young mistress?" The man's tone was full of surprise.
Could it be that she came with the young master? No one else could open this door.
Su Ningxi rubbed her badly hurt leg and said, "Of course I walked in. How else could I have flown in!"
The man...
Su Ningxi asked, "Who are you?"
The man replied in not very standard Mandarin, "Replying to young mistress, I am Young Master Huo's subordinate called Bai Zhi."
Su Ningxi, "What? What did you say your name was? Bai Chi (Idiot)?"
The man nodded.
Su Ningxi couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Haha... Haha... What were your parents thinking giving you this name? I'm laughing to death, haha..."
Bai Zhi didn't say anything, just looking at Su Ningxi laughing wildly, also not knowing what she was laughing at. Was his name that funny?
After a while, Su Ningxi crawled up from the ground and complained, "Is your boss a pervert? What's the point of keeping so many tigers? Can't eat them, not fun to play with either, and so vicious."
Bai Zhi didn't say anything. He didn't dare speak badly of his Young Master behind his back.
At this moment, at the Huo residence.
Huo Yuchen sat at his desk, looking at the monitor which showed the same scene as the tiger park. He already knew when Su Ningxi trespassed into the tiger park. Huo Yuchen could hear Su Ningxi and Bai Zhi's conversation very clearly.
Su Ningxi's performance refreshed his understanding of her. Ordinary women would definitely be scared to cry in this situation, but she still had the mood to joke around. As expected of someone from the slums, very different from those delicate young ladies from rich families.
That night when Huo Yuchen returned, Su Ningxi had just come down the stairs, limping.
Su Ningxi didn't want to be with him. Every time she was with him, the aura from his body made her feel suffocated.
She couldn't advance or retreat, so she had to reluctantly greet him. "You're back!"
Huo Yuchen glanced at her leg and nodded slightly before withdrawing his gaze.
Su Ningxi...
Would it kill him to say something! Why was he always so unapproachable, with a long face all day as if she owed him millions?
She pouted and walked down from upstairs.
Just as she sat down in the living room, Huo Yuheng also came back from outside with a drawing board in his hands. He greeted Huo Yuchen, "Brother."
At the same time, he glanced at Su Ningxi. This woman had tough luck, able to come back unharmed from the tiger park.
Seeing that he had no intention of greeting her, Su Ningxi took the initiative to wave her hand. "Yuheng classmate, good evening!"
Huo Yuheng shifted his gaze away, with no intention of responding to her.
Su Ningxi...
Looks like he really dislikes her!
Huo Yuchen said, "Go wash your hands then come for dinner."
"Okay," Huo Yuheng put down the drawing board on the table and headed towards the washroom.
Su Ningxi looked at the drawing board on the table and asked, "Is your younger brother an artist?"
Huo Yuchen replied, "Ask him yourself."
Su Ningxi...
Forget it if he doesn't want to talk. The two brothers have the same attitude.
"This should be Second Young Master's belongings right? Let me bring it to his room." Wang Ma walked over and said.
"Don't touch my stuff." Wang Ma had just picked it up when Huo Yuheng hurriedly ran over.
The sudden voice frightened Wang Ma, causing her hand to shake and the sketches to flutter all over the place.
Wang Ma felt very guilty and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry Young Master, I just wanted to keep it for you."
Huo Yuheng didn't say anything. He squatted down to pick up the sketches on the floor.
One of them landed at Huo Yuchen's feet. Huo Yuchen picked it up casually to take a look. It was an unfinished sketch, just a rough outline. It seemed to be a girl.
"Give it to me." Huo Yuheng snatched the sketch from Huo Yuchen's hand. His careful manner was as if he was holding not a sketch but a priceless treasure.
Huo Yuchen had never seen him so nervous before. The person he drew must be very important to him! "Your girlfriend?"
Huo Yuheng's hand paused as he was keeping the sketch. A trace of loss flashed across his eyes as he replied, "No."
Su Ningxi was very curious what the girl he liked looked like. Judging by his expression, he must love that person a lot!
"Is that so! Let me take a look too." As she spoke, she tried to snatch the sketch from his hand.
When Su Ningxi's hand reached out, Huo Yuheng dodged first.
In their tussle, Su Ningxi suddenly grunted softly.
