After saying goodbye to Huohuo, Bai Sheng headed toward the barbecue restaurant.
Just now, he had seen the forced smile that crossed Huohuo's face when she heard the words "family." Could it be that Huohuo's relationship with her family wasn't very good either?
Bai Sheng thought about it and decided he should apologize to Huohuo tomorrow. Once he thought about it that way, her running off without looking back just now made sense.
As he thought, he unknowingly arrived at the barbecue restaurant. It was already very late, but Bai Sheng saw Guinevere still going in and out of the shop entrance.
When Guinevere saw Bai Sheng approaching, she wiped the sweat from her face and waved at him.
"Hello, Boss! Where's Boss Lady? Didn't she come with you?"
After speaking, Guinevere looked behind Bai Sheng again, confirming that Huohuo really hadn't come along.
"Guinevere, Huohuo isn't Boss Lady. You're overthinking it."
Bai Sheng explained.
"Huh, is that so? I thought you two had come to Chang Le Tian on a date."
Guinevere sounded a little disappointed.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Remember, don't say things like that to Huohuo anymore. Her timid little heart can't handle being teased."
He couldn't be sure what exactly he was to Huohuo in her eyes. A friend? A benefactor? Whatever it was, he definitely wasn't her lover. Otherwise, her face wouldn't have flushed with anger when she was misunderstood back then.
Judging from the information Bai Sheng had seen online, Huohuo had definitely gotten angry because she was misunderstood and gone "red-hot." She simply hadn't dared show it in front of him, her benefactor.
There was a saying—what was it again? "A maiden's blush surpasses a whole series of vulgarities." And Huohuo had practically been steaming at the time.
