Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1915 - Huo Ze and Xia Tang (119)


Chapter 1915: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (119)

Seeming to have not expected someone to barge in, the principal and the rest looked at Xia Cha and Ah Ning in surprise.

Xia Cha and Huo Heng’s eyes met.

His eyes were dark, the ends of his eyes thin and his eyebrows raised slightly.

She could not tell what his emotions were, because he quickly looked away and turned to Ah Ning, who was beside Xia Cha.

Ah Ning was a popular young hunk and had held concerts for tens of thousands of people. Faced with such a situation, he remained calm and collected.

Seeing the dean and the rest’s gazes, he straightened up and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m just trying to avoid my fans with my lyricist.”

The principal naturally knew Xia Cha and Ah Ning.

Xia Cha had beem an outstanding student of Harbor City University, and Ah Ning was the guest they had invited for the performance.

So it was to avoid the crazy fans.

The principal nodded. “Ah Ning, did you just say Student Xia is your lyricist?”

Ah Ning looked at Xia Cha who was beside her and said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to Camellia. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today.”

The principal had heard Ah Ning’s song before. He had a good voice, but of course, it was also thanks to the mastermind behind the lyrics and melody.

He had even praised the producer called Camellia at first, saying that she was very talented.

However, he had not expected it to be Xia Cha from their school.

The principal walked over and introduced her to Huo Heng.

After introducing Ah Ning, they shook hands and then introduced Xia Cha.

Xia Cha had regained her calmness. Hearing the principal introduce her to Huo Heng, she reached out her hand and smiled. “Hello, President Huo.”

Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha. Because of the proximity between them, he seemed to smell the faint fragrance of camellia on her.

He raised his long and well-defined hand and shook her lightly.

The moment her hand touched his, Xia Cha’s heartbeat sped up.

It was like an electricity current had passed through her.

It was a short handshake and he quickly retracted his hand.

He was not very cold, nor warm, like he was treating a familiar stranger. “Hello.”

To be exact, they had not seen each other for a year and a half.

He had become the person in-charge of the Huo Corporation, while she had also retired and became a songwriter.

Naturally, Xia Cha could not leave early for the party as the representative of the exchange students.

After leaving the library, Xia Cha found several roommates.

Roommate A got Xia Cha from the library and asked her in a gossipy manner, “Cha Cha, did you see the principal, President Huo, and the rest? I heard that President Huo wants to donate a new library to the school. It’s going to cost so much spend…”

Roommate A stretched out her hand and made a number.

Xia Cha thought of how he acted like a stranger when she shook hands with Huo Heng and felt like she had been bitten by ants.

Xia Cha shook her head, signalling herself not to think too much.

Their fate was over and this was how it was meant to be.

Didn’t the past her want him not to disturb her peaceful life?

The party started at seven.

Xia Cha found her seat.

She sat in the third row.

Huo Heng, the principal, and the rest sat in the first row.

Ah Ning and several invited stars sat in the second row.

Xia Cha could see the man in the first row if she looked up.

He had taken off his suit jacket and was wearing a tailored white shirt. His back was against the seat and his short black hair was cut neatly.

The lines from his neck to his shoulders were smooth and thin. The principal was talking to him and he had his head tilted sideways, the side of his face like it was meticulously drawn by a painter.

The other seat beside him was empty and not long after, a woman in a gown came over.

Although Xia Cha had stepped back behind the scenes, she was still familiar with most people in the entertainment industry.

The woman who came over was a famous singer in Harbor City. Her status and experience were incomparable to a young hunk like Ah Ning who had just debuted.

After the queen came, she greeted Huo Heng and the principal.

Xia Cha forced herself to look away.

The party started. Xia Cha heard the host call her name and stood up, walking toward the stage.

When she was still Xia Tang, she had held concerts in a stadium with tens of thousands of people and also received an award at an international stage. Logically speaking, there was nothing to be nervous about in front of everyone’s gaze.

But tonight…

She looked down and it seemed like she could glance at the man in the first row. His long legs were crossed elegantly and his right hand was tapping lightly on his knee. He looked up at her on the stage.

She knew that this was the basic respect a member of the audience should give.

But there was still a trace of nervousness in her heart.

Xia Cha took a deep breath and adjusted herself into her ‘work’ state.

After she finished speaking, Xia Cha exited the stage amidst the warm applause.

Ah Ning gave her a thumbs up and she smiled at him.

After returning to her seat, Xia Cha focused on the performance and did not look at the men in the front row.

Xia Cha left the banquet venue early.

The night breeze was slightly chilly. She hugged her arms and rubbed them.

Walking out of the campus, Xia Cha received a message from her roommate.

They were asking her out for supper.

Xia Cha had not slept well last night and had not rested for the entire day. She was a little tired now.

She replied to her roommate.

As she continued to walk forward, a horn suddenly sounded.

A black Bentley stopped beside her.

The car window slowly rolled down and a handsome face appeared in front of her.

Xia Cha met the man’s eyes, thinking about what she should say to him.

Instead, he spoke first. He was not as indifferent as he was when he met the library, and he smiled. “Shall we go back?”

His expression and attitude was rather frank.

They were so honest that they looked like friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

They were really just friends.

Xia Cha smiled back at him. “Okay.”

“I’ll drive you.”

Xia Cha pursed her lips. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but if she rejected directly, it would seem like she was hiding something.

Xia Cha walked to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and got into the car.

She gave the address of the apartment she had bought when she was still Xia Tang.

The car started and drove for several meters before stopping again.

He looked sideways at Xia Cha.

Xia Cha looked out of the car window and noticed his gaze. She was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

Huo Heng suddenly turned sideways and his slender arm reached out toward her.

The man’s light and pleasant smell mixed with the faint smell of tobacco wafted to her nose.

Xia Cha’s long eyelashes fluttered and her heart beat faster.

Her gaze landed on the man’s chest. Because of his movement sideways, the fabric of the shirt was pressed tightly against his chest, showing the outline of his firm and muscular chest.

Xia Cha looked away and saw his Adam’s apple.

There was a soft click as he fastened her seatbelt.

The man was already seated and starting the engine.

Xia Cha’s fingers held the seatbelt and she leaned against her left heart. She could still feel the fast and chaotic heartbeat under her palm.

She looked at his side profile and said softly, “Thank you.”

She had actually forgotten to buckle her seatbelt, but he could have just reminded her. Why did he have to help her buckle her seatbelt?
