A man and woman alone in one room, surely they must have lost control long ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there, she suddenly started letting her thoughts run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping out of her thoughts, Huo Yishan shuddered instinctively, looked up, and saw Li Yuan approaching with a glass of juice, handing it over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the glass of juice, Huo Yishan hesitated for a few seconds before taking it, drinking several gulps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make yourself comfortable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yishan glanced suspiciously at him, “I know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said that and walked toward the sofa, enjoying the room as she went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan holding a cup of tea, looked emotionally at her fair side profile, his gaze gentle and warm like jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the kitchen door, Xia Ximeng leaned against the frame.
