The man didn't answer. His gaze flickered to the courtyard gate. He raised a hand and patted her on the bottom, a smirk playing on his lips. "Because someone's here."
When Huo Jingyuan's large hand touched her bottom, her eyes went wide as saucers, and her cheeks flushed red in an instant. "Huo Jingyuan, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
'He actually spanked me.'
'The absolute nerve of him.'
"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—"
Just then, a knock sounded on the iron gate.
Wen Ci, her cheeks still flushed, turned to look toward the sound. She saw Su Guilan standing at the gate. Though it wasn't locked, she hadn't entered without permission and was waiting outside.
Wen Ci frowned.
She really disliked it when the Jiangs came and disturbed her peaceful life.
Huo Jingyuan nudged Wen Ci with his elbow and whispered, "Let her in."
"Mm."
