She burst out chuckling.

Huo Chen got up and stood in front of Wen He. Before she could escape, he bent down and trapped her in the narrow space between his arms.

His warm breath smelled of unspoken desire and alcohol. It made her face tingle.

"Wen He, come back to me. I will give you everything you want!"

The alcohol removed the chains that bound him and allowed him to speak his mind.

Wen He was taken aback by his outburst.

For a long time, her body froze like a statue.

Huo Chen waited quietly for her answer, not realizing how tense he was at that moment.

"Huo Chen…"

Wen He felt herself giving in, so she recalled the moment when he hugged Lu Zhaoyang and the silent look he gave her back in the anteroom in the Golden City. Gradually, her resolve came back and she felt calmer.

"Mr Huo, I'm sorry but I don't know you very well, so I cannot oblige."

That was a rejection.
