Chapter 456 Can I Trust You?

Chapter 456 Can I Trust You?

"You bought me so much, are you trying to please me?" Huo Sinian said this, but his hands betrayed him as he picked up the clothes and led her upstairs. "Tell me, what is your wish?"

"This is a return gift for the ring you gave me." Lin Tan made up a random excuse, as long as it could get her off the ground.

As they were talking.

She deliberately showed him the ring on her middle finger.

Huo Sinian spoke slowly and deliberately, with a hint of sarcasm: "Using my money to give me a return gift?"

“It’s not my fault.” Lin Tan chatted with him naturally, and an uninformed person would probably think they were a real couple. “It’s because you won’t let me go out to film that I have no money.”

Hearing her rebuttal, a hint of emotion flickered in the depths of Huo Sinian's eyes.

For a moment, he couldn't tell if Lin Tan was acting or if her emotions were genuine. Her acting skills were always excellent, but it was difficult to judge the sincerity of her tone alone.

But this is the first time it has been so vivid.

Was it because he gave her the ring that she came to her senses, or did she know she couldn't win against him and chose to compromise?

Almost instantly.

Huo Sinian rejected these ideas.

If she truly went along with him, she wouldn't be Lin Tan.

Once upstairs, Huo Sinian tried on all the clothes. They fit perfectly, and the well-tailored coats accentuated his handsome physique.

Lin Tan showered him with compliments.

Seeing her like this, Huo Sinian took a step towards her, raised his hand, and placed his warm palm on her face, stroking it: "You have good taste. Considering the gift you carefully selected, I will have a nutritionist come over tomorrow to start preparing your three meals a day for pregnancy."

"Okay." Lin Tan showed no sign of surprise.

Huo Sinian's rough fingertips were warm: "Really good?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Tan stared straight at him with her fox-like eyes, her gaze pure and untainted.

"Weren't you quite resistant before?" Huo Sinian exposed her, wanting to see how she would react. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

“It’s not rejection.” When Lin Tan was about to deceive someone, her eyes, words, and emotions were all perfectly executed, leaving no room for criticism. “It’s worry.”

Huo Sinian: "?"

Huo Sinian: "Are you worried I'll ruin your career?"

A chill ran through Lin Tan's heart.

have a look.

Even though he knew that what he was doing was hurting her, he never let her go.

"Of course not." Lin Tan suppressed her emotions and reached out to hug his neck. "I'm worried that it was just a joke on your part. Children are different from other things. I hope that it was something you thought about seriously."

Hosnianton is there.

His eyes met hers; each harbored their own secrets, yet their faces showed utter love for the other.

“That’s a life,” Lin Tan continued. “I don’t want you to suddenly tell me you can’t accept him after I get pregnant, and that I have to get an abortion.”

Huo Sinian suddenly smiled.

Lin Tan's heart tightened.

Have we been discovered?

"You've gone through all this trouble to find out what that ring means?" Huo Sinian asked.

Lin Tan looked at him without saying anything.

Huo Sinian: "It means exactly what you think."

Lin Tan: "I don't quite understand."

"Haven't you always wanted a formal title? This is it." Huo Sinian placed his other hand on her waist and gently kneaded it. "The day you use your earnings to buy me a gift, I'll take you to get our marriage certificate and make you the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family."

Lin Tan's heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't just a flutter of the heart, it was a sudden jolt.

She understood all too well what it meant for Huo Sinian to tell her so bluntly that getting a marriage certificate meant.

He is not a person who likes to express his thoughts.

He used to treat her as a lover, a canary or a parasitic vine. Both of them knew that the improper relationship would end one day, perhaps she would find evidence to escape him, or perhaps he would get tired of playing with her and let her go.

No matter what, we will eventually part ways.

But now, she's not sure...

"You should know what the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family represents," Huo Sinian said, looking into her eyes and enunciating each word clearly.

"Didn't you say that with my status, it would never be possible?" Lin Tan couldn't calm herself down, so she made up a reason to hide her true emotions. "Why the sudden change..."

Huo Sinian: "I'm the one who calls the shots in the Huo family now."

When you have no power, you can only slowly maneuver around it.

Now that he has the right, since she wants it, he will give it to her.

Perhaps she envied Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan's relationship, or perhaps she wanted to see if he would be honest with her and give her the status and stability she wanted, so that she could change her mind about leaving.

"What about your parents?" Lin Tan asked, hesitating to finish her sentence.

“I’ll handle it,” Huo Sinian said. “You just need to stay by my side as before.”

Lin Tan remained silent.

Huo Sinian asked, "Not satisfied?"

Lin Tan boldly said, "In the past, my phone was never monitored."

She wanted to take a gamble.

If she wins the bet, Huo Sinian will no longer monitor her phone, and she can collect evidence without worry, and talk to Jiang Ruan. If she loses the bet, she'll at most be tormented by him for one night.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy.

Huo Sinian stared at her without saying a word.

"I was just saying it offhand." After waiting for a while without getting the answer she wanted, Lin Tan spoke again, "It's getting late, if you're trying to conceive, you should wash up and go to bed."

Huo Sinian stared at her: "Lin Tan."

"Hmm?" Lin Tan looked up, her fox-like eyes gentle and generous, and her light-colored clothes made her look even more serene.

This is exactly the kind of woman Huo Sinian likes.

Well-behaved, sensible, and gentle.

"Can I trust you?" Huo Sinian asked.

Lin Tan: "What do you mean?"

Huo Sinian pulled her close to him, leaning down to close the distance between them: "Don't lie to me."

Lin Tan's back stiffened.

“Otherwise I’ll break your legs and lock you in this house, so you’ll never be able to leave this house again,” Huo Sinian said slowly.

Lin Tan tried to say something.

Huo Sinian released her waist, opened the door, and told the group, "From now on, you are only responsible for Lin Tan's safety. You don't need to monitor her for anything else."

Bodyguards and assistants: "Yes."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Tan's eyes.

Did you win the bet?

“I’ve given you what you wanted,” Huo Sinian said to her, his expression as gentle and refined as ever. “What I want, you can decide.”

After saying that...

Huo Sinian left the room and went to the study.

The moment he sat down, he took off his glasses with his long, slender fingers and rubbed his tired brow.

He felt like he was going crazy.

He actually told her his true feelings and even wanted to marry her.

He could have maximized his benefits by marrying into other powerful families, but he made such a foolish decision.

Ultimately, he attributed everything to Huo Zhizhou.

"One is influenced by one's company," and it's normal for him to be a little affected after spending more than half a month with someone obsessed with love.

After figuring all this out, he paused for a few minutes, letting all his thoughts settle and regain their composure. Then he took out his phone and made a call.

At the same time.

On Huo Zhizhou's side.

When he saw the call from his brother, he naturally answered by sliding the answer button: "Hello."

Huo Sinian: "When are you coming back?"

Huo Zhizhou: "We don't have that plan for the time being."

Huo Sinian: "?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Didn't Dad tell me to get back custody of Sui Sui and the divorce settlement?"

"You want to come back?" Huo Sinian bluntly exposed him without giving him any face.
