Chapter 336: Jealousy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No one noticed when Huo Xiuyuan left the venue after losing the competition.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Huo Yichen. Huo Xiuyuan should be glad about this, but he felt more humiliated.
He didn’t expect to lose to Huo Yichen in front of so many people.
Huo Xiuyuan walked out with a dark expression, but when he turned the corner in a hurry, he bumped into a woman.
“All!” The female voice sounded familiar.
Huo Xiuyuan looked up and saw that the girl had lost her composure and was about to fall to the ground.
He instinctively reached out to help her up. At the same time, he recognized her.
“Feng Xinyao?” Huo Xiuyuan recalled her face.
Huo Xiuyuan had seen Feng Xinyao when he was idle with a few of his good friends. He had some impression of Feng Xinyao’s face and her relationship with the Murong family.
Feng Xinyao was a little anxious. “I’m sorry…”
She had just used the excuse of going to the toilet to lie down. When she came out, she could not find Jiang Weiyang. Now that she had asked someone, she was about to look for her, but she did not expect to bump into someone else.
“Are you going to look for Huo Yichen?” Huo Xiuyuan exposed her thoughts.
Huo Xiuyuan had a lot of foresight when it came to people like Feng Xinyao. Hence, when he saw how anxious she was and how she looked at the competition, he guessed it.
Feng Xinyao frowned and looked at Huo Xiuyuan. “You…”
She naturally recognized Huo Xiuyuan. A hint of disdain flashed across her eyes. She looked at Huo Xiuyuan’s curled lips and scheming eyes and felt that something was wrong.
“He’s gone. It’s useless even if you go,” Huo Xiuyuan said casually as he leaned against the wall.
The corner was remote, and there was no one else around except him and Feng Xinyao. Huo Xiuyuan looked at Feng Xinyao’s enthusiastic attitude towards Huo Yichen and suddenly had a plan.
Feng Xinyao disliked him, but because of Huo Xiuyuan’s status, she could only suppress her impatience.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” she retorted coldly.
Huo Xiuyuan scoffed. “You’re pretty good at pretending.”
“I won’t beat around the bush. Aren’t you interested in Huo Yichen? I can help you.” He offered.
Feng Xinyao was puzzled. “You?”
It was not that she doubted Huo Xiuyuan’s words, but it was obvious that his offer was not one-sided.
Feng Xinyao was more concerned about what he needed her to do.
Fortunately, Huo Xiuyuan did not leave her hanging. After saying that, he immediately made his request.
“Murong Qiao is my goal. We can work together,” Huo Xiuyuan said.
He was still unhappy when he saw Huo Yichen stop him in front of Murong Qiao.
However, after the competition ended, he also noticed that Huo Yichen walked towards Murong Qiao immediately. Although he didn’t know how the two of them were progressing, it was disadvantageous to him no matter what.
At this moment, Feng Xinyao bumped into him.
The doubt in Feng Xinyao’s eyes dissipated a little.”… Sure.”
She knew the relationship between Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao. If Huo Xiuyuan could help her pull Murong Qiao away, it would be an opportunity for her.
Huo Xiuyuan was very satisfied with her tact. At the same time, he was thinking about how to gain Murong Qiao’s favor later. The banquet would end in a while.
To be honest, Murong Qiao was wearing down Huo Xiuyuan’s patience every time she rejected him.
He took a deep breath and lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in them.
If Murong Qiao really wouldn’t give him face… he wouldn’t mind using force.
He didn’t believe that Huo Yichen would fancy a used shoe.
Feng Xinyao and Huo Xiuyuan reached an agreement to form a temporary partnership.
However, no one paid attention to what was happening around the corner. At this moment, many people’s attention was focused on another place.
Huo Yichen, who had just won the competition, was pestered by Jiang Weiyang to compete. Murong Qiao was standing a few steps away, and it was obvious that she was looking at Huo Yichen. It was inevitable that people would form some thoughts after seeing two women looking at a man like that.
However, because of their identities, no one around dared to follow them brazenly. They could only watch from afar and could not hear their conversation.
“Why can’t you compete with me when you competed with Huo Xiuyuan just now?” Jiang Weiyang was a little angry.
She had been talking for a long time, but Huo Yichen seemed to have made up his mind and wouldn’t give in. This more or less made Jiang Weiyang a little frustrated.
This was the first time in her life that Jiang Weiyang had met someone who repeatedly rejected her.
Huo Yichen’s reply was so cold that Jiang Weiyang wondered if he was a robot.
“I don’t have to answer you,” he said calmly.
Now that Huo Xiuyuan was not around, Huo Yichen could not be bothered to pretend. Even if his relationship with Jiang Weiyang soured, Huo Hong would not do anything. At most, he would punish and reprimand him.
Jiang Weiyang felt uncomfortable with his words. Her eyes were red with anger. She felt that Huo Yichen was extremely insensitive. She had even invited him like this.
But in the next second, the man she thought was insensitive walked slowly to Murong Qiao and started talking to her with a smile.
“You’ve been here for a long time? 1 didn’t see any messages on my cell phone.” He was a little vexed.
He was occupied by Jiang Weiyang just now, so he didn’t pay attention to the door. He didn’t expect to miss Murong Qiao coming in.
His apologetic tone softened Murong Qiao’s heart, and she shook her head.
“I just reached. Your archery posture just now was so handsome,” she praised softly.
He was really handsome. She even thought that her nose was going to bleed.
Murong Qiao’s face was slightly red, and the bangs on her forehead were slightly curved. She tucked them gently to her ears. From Huo Yichen’s angle, she looked extremely obedient.
He wanted to kiss her.
This thought popped into Huo Yichen’s mind at an inappropriate time, but he secretly sighed in his heart that this was a social event.
Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen stood together. They obviously didn’t hold hands or hug each other, but they gave off an atmosphere that was difficult for ordinary people to integrate into.
The two of them were so intimate that the people in the distance might not be able to see them clearly, but Jiang Weiyang was standing at the side, so it was difficult not to see them clearly.
She bit her lip angrily and looked directly at Murong Qiao’s face. She suddenly understood who the girlfriend Huo Yichen said he was going to find was.
But Jiang Weiyang didn’t think that she was inferior to Murong Qiao.
However, what concerned her more was Huo Yichen’s completely different attitude towards her.
She had asked him so many questions just now and tried her best to think of what he liked, to say to please him. It was rare for her to take the initiative to please someone, but Huo Yichen still looked like an iceberg.
But…
Jiang Weiyang looked at Murong Qiao with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Murong Qiao just stood there and a smile appeared on his face. His tone was warm.
“If you like it, I’ll teach you over there,” Huo Yichen casually mentioned.
Originally, he wanted to deal with Huo Hong’s request. If he could make Murong Qiao happy, that would be what he was most willing to do.
Murong Qiao’s eyes lit up. “You said it.”
Seeing Huo Yichen hold his breath and shoot an arrow, Murong Qiao was tempted. At the same time, she became interested in archery.
The two of them spoke in a naturally intimate tone, as if they didn’t see Jiang Weiyang at all. As they spoke, they walked towards the other side.
As for Jiang Weiyang, she did not go up and ask for trouble.
There were plenty of opportunities. She wasn’t interested in asking for trouble in front of Huo Yichen.
Watching Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen walk away, Jiang Weiyang decided to talk to her father about her and Huo Yichen.
Since she liked him, she had to get him.
In any case, if she acted coy, her father would agree to anything..
