Ling Nuan had some guesses in her mind.
But she wasn't quite sure, so she wanted to borrow the brain of her sugar daddy.
The sugar daddy caught on.
"How much tuition are you willing to pay?" the sugar daddy asked straightforwardly, getting right to the point.
Ling Nuan, quite familiar with the routine, directly blocked Huo Linsheng's lips. Mimicking Huo Linsheng's previous actions, she pried open his teeth and entangled his tongue.
Ling Nuan was a good student who wasn't ashamed to ask questions, and it was the same when it came to kissing.
Huo Linsheng, who had initially shown little interest, was gradually intrigued.
When the kiss ended and Ling Nuan pulled back, she asked with a beaming smile, "Is this a down - payment okay, Teacher Huo?"
The address "Teacher Huo" was so charming that it could melt one's heart.
Huo Linsheng was quite taken with it.
Although he liked it in his heart, on the surface, he still had to bargain.
"Too many people these days default on the remaining payment and run away. I can't trust you," Huo Linsheng said.
Ling Nuan thought to herself, I can't trust you either.
What if the teacher runs away after she pays the tuition?
"Does Teacher Huo always do business in such a self - centered way?" Ling Nuan protested, but her soft tone sounded more like a seduction.
Huo Linsheng laughed, "It depends on the situation. Now that you're begging me to teach you, the terms are up to me."
Ling Nuan angrily reached out and pinched Huo Linsheng hard.
But unfortunately, Huo Linsheng didn't show any reaction at all, while Ling Nuan felt a bit of pain in her hand...
Huo Linsheng chuckled and grabbed her wrist. "A teacher's time is precious. Have you made up your mind, Student Ling?"
Student Ling had no chance of refusal.
Not to mention the things she wanted to inquire about, regarding the matter of Zhang Wang, she was still counting on Fang Chao to investigate.
Moreover, their relationship was already far from innocent. Did it really matter if they went a step further?
Ling Nuan reached out and pulled Huo Linsheng's tie towards her, as if she was about to kiss him.
But Huo Linsheng was quicker. Before Ling Nuan could kiss him, he picked her up in his arms.
Ling Nuan was momentarily dazed. Then she saw Huo Linsheng carry her and place her on the desk in front of him. After that, he stepped back and didn't make any further moves.
"The tuition is a bit expensive. Just this might not be enough," Huo Linsheng bent down and pointed at Ling Nuan's lips.
After saying that, as if to prevent Ling Nuan from suddenly kissing his finger, he quickly withdrew his hand, giving Ling Nuan no time to react.
Ling Nuan was so angry that she almost laughed. What kind of person was this!
He made her take the initiative, and then added more conditions?
Huo Linsheng stood in front of her, a couple of steps away, looking at her leisurely, waiting to see her performance.
Ling Nuan was wearing high - heels, which were now hanging on her feet. She gently wiggled her toes, and the high - heels dropped to the ground.
With the distance between them, if Ling Nuan reached out to grab, it would look so awkward. So she simply propped her hands on the desk, lifted her foot, and pressed the tip of her toe against Huo Linsheng's leg, slowly moving it up until it landed on the fabric that was already a bit bulging, and gently stepped on it.
The step wasn't very hard, and it didn't hurt. In fact, the bulge in the fabric became even more obvious.
Ling Nuan curled her lips. While continuing to wiggle her toes, she asked Huo Linsheng, "Teacher Huo, is this tuition okay?"
Huo Linsheng stared at Ling Nuan with a rather complicated look.
He wasn't such a beast that he would be driven by lust when her younger brother was still missing. It was just his habit to tease her like this. Who would have thought... Ling Nuan would give him such a big surprise?
"Okay," his voice sounded a bit hoarse due to arousal.
Under Ling Nuan's seduction, Huo Linsheng was already on the verge of losing control, but he still held on on the surface.
He didn't stand there anymore. Instead, he pulled over the chair behind him and sat down.
Ling Nuan was sitting on the desk. In this situation, she seemed to be looking down on him.
She saw Huo Linsheng raise his eyes, his gaze falling on her. He parted his lips and said, "Continue."
Ling Nuan stepped up her efforts and didn't forget her own plan.
"Teacher Huo, I've paid quite a lot of tuition. Shouldn't you teach your student? Otherwise, the student will lose motivation," Ling Nuan started to bargain.
Huo Linsheng gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Taking things slowly is not something that Huo Xiao's brain can come up with."
What would Huo Xiao do?
After getting together with Shen Shaoqing, she never gave Shen Shaoqing a chance to explain things clearly to Ling Nuan and break up peacefully. Instead, she went straight to Ling's mother and insulted her.
Knowing that Shen Shaoqing and Ling Nuan were still entangled after their breakup, she couldn't sit still. On one hand, she instigated Zhao Leli, and on the other hand, she bribed Ling Nuan's uncle and aunt, determined to teach Ling Nuan a lesson.
If Huo Xiao had a bit more brains and could be patient, her relationship with Shen Shaoqing wouldn't have turned so sour in such a short period.
Xun Cong was indeed taken away by someone under Huo Xiao's command. But judging from Huo Xiao's methods, she would probably have threatened Ling Nuan's uncle and aunt to exchange her grandmother for Xun Cong long ago. She would have kept pestering them and forced them to act without giving them any time to react.
It shouldn't have been so quiet. It was only after Xun Yao and his wife came to the door on their own.
As Ling Nuan was thinking, her movements with her foot unconsciously stopped.
Huo Linsheng pinched her ankle, bringing her back to her senses. He reminded her, "Trying to cheat on the tuition?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
Ling Nuan continued and asked, "This really doesn't seem like something Huo Xiao would do. But the one who took Xun Cong away should be Zhang Wang beside her. It can't be that Zhang Wang did it without telling her, right? Moreover, apart from Huo Xiao, I don't think I've offended anyone else who would target my cousin."
Huo Linsheng glanced at her and replied, "No matter how stupid a person is, they still have a pair of ears."
Huo Xiao was stupid, but it didn't mean that everyone around her was.
"No matter what the method is, the purpose and result are the most important," Huo Linsheng reminded.
As long as one thought about what Huo Xiao's purpose was and developed one's thinking from that point, it wouldn't be difficult to get close to the truth.
In the end, it was all about being unfavorable to Ling Nuan.
She took Xun Cong away but didn't plan to use Xun Yao and Zhao Shuting to capture Ling Nuan's grandmother. Where else could she cause harm to Ling Nuan?
"She's stalling for time and causing trouble for me," Ling Nuan had already had some guesses in her mind. At this moment, she voiced her speculation while observing Huo Linsheng's expression.
"Since you've already guessed it, don't you know what she wants to do?" Huo Linsheng counter - questioned.
Ling Nuan nodded. This time, she really understood.
"Can you pay the remaining tuition now?" Huo Linsheng never forgot about his own interests.
Ling Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She had just been casually stepping on him while carefully controlling the strength, not daring to use too much force. But Huo Linsheng seemed to be enjoying it. There was a distinct glint of desire in his eyes, softening his usually cold and unapproachable aura. With his good looks, he really resembled a male seducer at this moment.
Even though they had slept together many times, Ling Nuan was still a bit tempted.
She even felt a physical reaction.
The temperature in the study was rising rapidly. Ling Nuan felt hot and had an urge to untie her clothes to get some air.
However, before she could act, the phone on the desk vibrated, shattering the charming atmosphere into pieces.
"Answer it. Then continue," Huo Linsheng didn't even bother to look at the phone.
Ling Nuan took a quick glance.
The caller ID was Fang Chao.
