CHAPTER 243: CHAPTER 243: UNWILLING TO LET HER GO

Lin Banxia shook her head, filled with self-reproach and regret. "It’s not like that. Once something’s broken, it can’t be fixed."

Seeing her dejected and upset expression, Huo Yanting didn’t know how to comfort her. He could only reach out once again, pressing her small head into his embrace.

"Later, when you meet my grandfather, bring up the matter of compensation. If he refuses to compensate, tear up that agreement, understand? What I want most right now is to break that agreement."

Lin Banxia tilted her head up, her beautiful eyes staring directly into the man’s deep gaze, which held an intense and fervent affection.

The spot where her heart lay suddenly ached.

"I’ll go see what your grandfather says first..." Lin Banxia suddenly lost the courage to look him in the eye. She felt as if she owed him more and more.

"No matter what my grandfather says, you have to make him terminate the agreement. From now on, you and your pear garden will be under my protection." After saying this, Huo Yanting lifted her chin and pressed his fiery, passionate lips onto hers.

Lin Banxia’s mind went blank; the only sound lingering was his last two sentences.

She had to admit, she had really done something stupid.

Back when she had a hidden marriage with Huo Yanting, her pear garden had always been safe. Maybe it was because everyone knew she was his woman and thus gave her a degree of respect.

But now, just when she thought the pear garden was secure enough, it had still suffered destruction.

As the deep kiss ended, Lin Banxia’s breathing was uneven. She gasped for air, weakly leaning against the man’s chest.

Huo Yanting, on the other hand, felt his body grow increasingly warm. His large hand lingered lightly on her slender waist as he struggled to suppress his discomfort.

Once his breathing finally steadied, he murmured, "Go now. My grandfather should still be in his office."

"Mm!" Lin Banxia’s breathing had also normalized. She nodded and attempted to leave his embrace.

But as soon as she took two steps, the man caught up from behind and held her tightly in his arms again with his large hand.

Lin Banxia froze entirely. She tilted her head to look back, and her lips, which had just been kissed, were once again enveloped by his aura.

This time, he kissed her with incredible tenderness!

Lin Banxia felt as though her entire body was about to go numb. Her slim legs were on the verge of giving out. This man... he seemed very experienced.

But Huo Yanting wasn’t particularly experienced. He was simply acting on his emotions. Watching her leave his arms just now created a hollow feeling of dissatisfaction within him. So, he couldn’t help but pull her back into his embrace, kissing her again to soothe the discomfort.

"Isn’t that enough? I really have to leave this time!" Lin Banxia felt as if she might collapse in his arms; all her strength had been inadvertently stolen by him. Half-laughing, half-crying, she asked him.

The man’s deep, magnetic laughter resonated by her ear. Mischievously, he pinched her little cheek. "Go ahead, I’ll let you off this time for real!"

Huo Yanting’s voice was utterly husky, to the point where Lin Banxia felt like just hearing it might make her pregnant.

She couldn’t help but curve her lips upward, suddenly realizing that all the grievances she had suffered today had vanished into thin air.

Blushing, Lin Banxia quickly walked away.

She arrived at the door of the chairman’s office, where an assistant helped announce her presence.

Old Sir Huo, upon hearing that Lin Banxia had come to see him, his dignified expression grew even more solemn.

Soon, he asked the assistant, "Who brought her up here?"
