Chapter 128: Chapter 128 He Enjoys Being Misunderstood

After breakfast, Lin Banxia brazenly sat herself in Huo Yanting’s private car.

When Huo Yanting’s car drove out of the villa gates, six black sedans were already waiting outside. Inside the cars were over a dozen of his bodyguards, along with his assistant, Qi Han.

Seeing this grand spectacle, Lin Banxia didn’t dare to ask too many questions.

The reason for Huo Yanting’s cautious approach to safety was because, in his youth, he had been in a car accident. The car had rolled into a mountain ravine, yet he miraculously survived, sustaining only a leg injury. It’s said that ever since then, Huo Yanting never traveled without bodyguards by his side.

What Lin Banxia did know about the incident was limited, but she was unaware of an important detail: After the crash, young Huo Yanting had been pulled from the wreck near the pear garden by Mr. Lin, who had been cutting wood nearby. The car had exploded shortly after due to a fuel leak.

When their car passed the city’s largest mall, Huo Yanting ordered the convoy to stop.

Lin Banxia gave him a grateful look. "You should go to the office first. I’ll hurry up and catch up with you later."

"I’ll go up with you," Huo Yanting replied nonchalantly.

"Ah... No need, I’ll pick something on my own."

"The clothes women wear are meant for men to see, aren’t they? I don’t trust your taste," Huo Yanting said with a tone of unwavering determination.

Lin Banxia froze for a moment, unable to come up with a retort.

In the end, she couldn’t reject the man’s company. The two of them walked through the mall’s main hall, but Lin Banxia’s eyes were drawn only to the more mid-range stores.

Just as she made her way toward one of those stores, her arm was suddenly grabbed by the man.

At that moment, Qi Han, standing beside them, respectfully informed, "Young Master, the fifth floor has already been cleared out."

Lin Banxia’s beautiful eyes widened instantly upon hearing this. The fifth floor was renowned as the luxury goods area.

What did Qi Han mean by "cleared out"?

Huo Yanting nodded slightly, pulling Lin Banxia into the elevator.

"Huo... Husband, why are you dragging me upstairs? I can just pick a few sets here on the first floor," Lin Banxia whispered softly.

Huo Yanting coldly replied, "My woman is not allowed to dress poorly."

Lin Banxia blinked in surprise, taken aback. "But... aren’t we supposed to keep our marriage a secret? We agreed to a hidden marriage, didn’t we?"

"A hidden marriage is one thing. Whether you choose to be my woman is another," Huo Yanting responded calmly.

"Aren’t they the same thing?" Lin Banxia’s heart began to race.

Huo Yanting patiently explained, "Of course not. Working under me will undoubtedly lead others to suspect our improper relationship. I won’t say we’re married, but I certainly won’t deny there’s something between us."

Lin Banxia was dumbfounded. How could this man be so shameless?

"Oh, by the way," Huo Yanting added lazily, "I almost forgot. Once we’re done picking out clothes, let’s head to the civil affairs office and get the certificate sorted. That way, we won’t have to worry about anything dragging out."

He spoke as if registering their marriage was merely a spur-of-the-moment whim.

There wasn’t even a hint of serious contemplation.

Lin Banxia was left utterly speechless by his overbearing ways.

The fifth floor was the city’s most extravagant shopping haven, frequented by debutantes and socialites. It was a place home to dedicated luxury brand boutiques from all over the world.

Lin Banxia had been there once before, but only to accompany her cousin, Lu Huan Ning, on a shopping trip. She had her eyes on a particular outfit but refrained from buying it because it was too expensive. Back then, the floor was bustling with wealthy young women coming and going. Today, however, the space, typically alive with customers, was eerily devoid of people.

Except for a handful of enthusiastic sales associates standing at the entrances, the only ones on the floor were Lin Banxia, Huo Yanting, and their entourage.

Lin Banxia felt both overwhelmed and incredulous by the attention and exclusivity she was receiving.
