CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 132: HAS HUO YANTING COME TO RESCUE HER?

He wanted to pursue Lin Banxia again. But this time, it wasn’t just because of the land deed—he realized this woman had sparked his interest, making him want to win her over and taste her sweetness.

When he heard that Lin Banxia had come to the company early in the morning with Huo Yanting, he couldn’t wait to find her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw her delicate figure enter the pantry.

It was as if even the heavens were giving him a golden opportunity, so he followed her in and casually closed the door behind him.

"Banxia, I’m sorry. I’ve been too cold to you before. I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a boyfriend. I hope you can give me another chance. I know where I went wrong, and I promise I’ll change," Huo Qinglin said to Lin Banxia with an emotional and earnest expression, his eyes showing a trace of sincerity.

Lin Banxia thought this man had trapped her here to do something improper.

But she never expected that this man would actually beg her for another chance.

Weighing her options, Lin Banxia felt that provoking this man might not lead to a good outcome. So instead, she decided to play mind games with him.

"Is this really what you think?" Lin Banxia also feigned a sorrowful expression.

Seeing her reaction, Huo Qinglin immediately felt hopeful, his expression turning even more genuine. "Of course, Banxia. I truly like you. It’s just that I used to be so self-centered, not understanding what it truly means to love someone. It wasn’t until you left me that I realized love requires effort and care."

If Lin Banxia hadn’t spent three years married to him, she might have believed this man’s words to be genuine.

Unfortunately, Lin Banxia had seen through him. His nature was inherently evil, rotten to the core. No matter how well he concealed it, he couldn’t change who he was.

Thus, Lin Banxia smirked coldly to herself.

"Qinglin, I didn’t expect you to say something like this. Actually, I did like you once. It’s just... now, does saying things like this even matter?" Lin Banxia sighed deeply.

"It matters, Banxia. As long as you agree to start over with me, everything will matter." For the first time, Huo Qinglin naively believed Lin Banxia might give him a chance.

Lin Banxia turned to fill a cup with water. Tilting her head back to drink, her beautiful eyes darted around mischievously.

"I’m not sure if I have the courage to start over again." Lin Banxia said these words deliberately to keep him hanging.

Huo Qinglin immediately took two steps forward. "Banxia, you can do it. As long as we still have feelings for each other, everything can begin again."

When Lin Banxia saw him move closer, her heart tightened instantly. She was genuinely afraid this man might suddenly do something inappropriate to her.

"Let me think about it for a while. My mind is such a mess right now. Is that okay?" Lin Banxia pretended to remain calm as she spoke.

"What is there to think about? I know you still love me deep down." Huo Qinglin was so confident because Lin Banxia had once shown him an intense, passionate love.

Lin Banxia felt him draw even closer, his breath brushing against her ear. She instinctively wanted to move away, but the man grabbed her hand abruptly.

Just as Lin Banxia was about to break free, the pantry door was suddenly kicked violently several times, shattering as it crashed down.

Lin Banxia was so startled she immediately covered her ears, while Huo Qinglin stood frozen in shock.

By the doorway stood an imposing, towering figure—it was Huo Yanting.
