Mrs. Huo Pretends to be Weak Every Day

Chapter 27

What did she say before she went to bed?

Ye Beisheng’s expression froze and she quickly hid her gun, “What are you talking about, Ninth master? I’ve never seen a gun before. I’m just curious.”

Huo Shiting ignored her lie.

From the way she took the gun to the way she put it on her waist, it was clear that it was not her first time getting her hands on one.

The gentle and soft-spoken eldest young lady who had been chased out of the country by the Ye family for ten years actually knew how to use a gun.

The Ye family had probably made a mistake.

The way she held the gun looked like someone he had seen before.

It was a pity that that person had long been buried and would never appear again.

Ye Beisheng quietly slipped away with her beloved pistol. Huo Shiting then glanced at the servant and said in an emotionless voice, “Remember to send her to the housekeeper. You know what to do next.”

Lin Long nodded his head.

In the evening, Huo Shiting flipped through the last page of the contract in the study. He suddenly looked up and said in a calm voice, “Where’s Ye Beisheng?”

Lin Long had no idea why the Ninth master suddenly asked about his wife but he still answered honestly, “Madam mentioned that she is feeling tired from today and had gone to bed.”

Did she go to bed?

Huo Shiting frowned. “What did she say before she went to bed? ”

Countless questions appeared in his head. After a moment of silence, Lin Long thought about it hard before asking, “Madam….is there anything that she’s supposed to say?”

Huo Shiting retracted his gaze.

Ye Beisheng kept saying that she loved him. He even helped her deal with the people who were looking for trouble but instead of thanking him, she went to bed.

Lin Long looked at the time and it was already 12:30 am.

The Ninth master had already finished his work, so why wasn’t he heading off to sleep too? Why was the Ninth master still sitting at his desk? Lin Long couldn’t even get off work even if he wanted to.

Ling Long was a handsome man and he didn’t want to go bald at such a young age. He wanted to go home and catch his beauty sleep.

Hence, Lin Long hesitated for a while before deciding to speak. “Ninth master, since you have already finished everything for today, can I…”

‘Can I get off work and go home?’

However, before he could finish his sentence, Huo Shiting suddenly raised his eyes.

“Does she know that the housekeeper and the servants have been kicked out of the house?”

Lin Long was utterly confused.

As an assistant, he didn’t know much and didn’t dare to ask anything. He could only answer honestly, “She would have known about it…..?”

After all, the new housekeeper had already reported herself to Madam and she would have known about Aunty Chen’s dismissal.

Huo Shiting’s face darkened.

That’s great. She knew everything and even accepted a gun from him, but she didn’t say anything.

Lin Long looked at the Ninth master for some time and suddenly had a bold guess.

Could it be that the Ninth master was waiting for Madam to come over and thank him personally?

The Ninth Master actually waited until lunch until now?

Seeing that the Ninth master’s face was getting darker and darker, Lin Long gulped with hesitancy. “Master, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”

“Then don’t.”

Lin Long was speechless but he still decided to risk it. “Ninth Master, the more you pamper a woman, the more she takes advantage of you. You can’t just please her, you have to let her know that you don’t have to have her. If she doesn’t know when to thank you for what you have done, you…”

“You think I’m trying to please her?” Huo Shiting interrupted.

Lin Long was speechless. Wasn’t that true?

As a subordinate, he was nervous and horrified at the moment. He chose his words carefully. “No, no, no! How can you say that you’re trying to please her, Ninth master? You’re doing this for love. What I mean is that you didn’t have to spoil Madam in such ways today…”

“For love?”

Huo Shiting suddenly got up. The man was hiding in the dark and his expression couldn’t be seen, but his voice was cold.
