Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Xiuyuan chose a good time.
Huo Hong was not at home, and the servants had been sent away. It was enough for him to teach Huo Yichen a lesson.
“Wu!” He suppressed the taste of blood in his mouth, his expression indescribably ugly.
Unfortunately, it was the opposite of what he had expected. It was not him who beat Huo Yichen up, but Huo Yichen who completely crushed Huo Xiuyuan.
Fighting and demeanor were basically two different words. Huo Yichen fought like a maniac. His clenched fists landed on Huo Xiuyuan’s face continuously with such force that it made people feel like he was trying to beat him to death.
He held Huo Xiuyuan’s hair with one hand and smashed his head against the wall again and again. He used so much strength that the veins on the back of his fingers could be seen clearly. The muffled sound landed on the wall along with the dark red blood, blooming with red plums dotted Huo Xiuyuan’s dizzy vision.
“You overestimate yourself,” Huo Yichen sneered.
His tone was calm, but his grip on Huo Xiuyuan did not loosen. He held the other party firmly. If he sensed any resistance, he would instantly suppress it.
He tightened his grip slightly. “Stay away from her.”
Huo Xiuyuan was pulled up by Huo Yichen and had no choice but to look up at him.
“Are you warning me?” Huo Xiuyuan smiled.
He was clearly the one being suppressed, but when he looked at Huo Yichen, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, there was an excited and crazy light.
He laughed so hard that the blood couldn’t be suppressed. It gradually flowed out of the corner of his mouth, but the overflowing taste of rust made him even more awake from the pain.
Huo Xiuyuan said playfully, “What do you think Huo Hong will do if he finds out about your relationship?”
“He likes the Murong Family so much…” The more Huo Xiuyuan spoke, the brighter his eyes became.
Huo Xiuyuan had long known about the mission Huo Hong had given him.
With a person like him who only cared about benefits, if he knew that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao were already engaged, he could do anything.
Huo Yichen’s expression did not change. He bent his leg and brought it down on Huo Yichen’s back, breaking his arrogance and grabbing his neck.
“You’d better keep your mouth shut.” He tightened his grip.
Seeing that Huo Xiuyuan’s face was red and he was almost out of breath, his eyes widened as if he was about to suffocate to death, Huo Yichen let go happily.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly in anticipation. “Otherwise, I don’t mind helping you.”
Huo Xiuyuan suddenly shivered. The words he wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat as he looked at Huo Yichen in fear.
The moment he was strangled just now, he could clearly feel that Huo Yichen really wanted to kill him mercilessly. It was the closest he was to death.
“…” Huo Xiuyuan subconsciously shut his mouth.
Seeing him immediately cower, Huo Yichen scoffed coldly and let go of his restraints. He turned around and left the living room.
However, when this laughter landed in Huo Xiuyuan’s ears, it was like a slap to his face. It carried a burning pain as it mocked the humiliation of being pressed to the ground and beaten up.
“He’s just a bastard child that was found later…” Huo Xiuyuan stared at Huo Yichen’s back as he left.
Just as he was about to scold more, the pain in his throat reminded him of Huo Yichen’s threat just now. Huo Xiuyuan forced himself to get up and return to his room with a dark expression.
He didn’t want to admit that he was afraid of Huo Yichen’s threat, but it wouldn’t do him any good to tell Huo Hong about him and Murong Qiao.
If Huo Hong found out that these two were together, it would only make him value Huo Yichen more…
At the thought of that situation, Huo Xiuyuan pounded the table, feeling even more frustrated.
The most important thing now was to find another helper, one that could completely crush Huo Yichen.
In the next few days, Huo Xiuyuan seemed to be really frightened and almost never appeared in front of Huo Yichen.
Even Murong Qiao felt that her life was much quieter.
It was already evening, and the students rushed out of the school gate towards the snack stalls outside, cheering for Friday.
Murong Qiao held her book and watched as a black car slowly drove over not far away. In the end, it stopped in front of her and the window was slowly lowered, revealing the familiar side profile of the person in the driver’s seat.
“Let me send you home?” Huo Yichen opened the car door for her.
Murong Qiao smiled faintly. “You’re here.”
She sat in the front passenger seat and casually placed her bag at the back. Before she could turn around, her face softened.
“Wu!” Murong Qiao was caught off guard as he looked at the handsome face that was magnified in front of her.
Huo Yichen kissed her cheek. “They can’t see us from outside.”
He leaned over and kissed her a few times before stopping. Seeing the blush on Murong Qiao’s face, he chuckled and sat back in his seat. He started the car and left the school gate and the crowd.
Ever since Murong Qiao was trapped during swimming class last time, Huo Yichen would come over to pick her up whenever he had time. Seeing this, Murong Chuan divided the work with Huo Yichen. Whoever was free would come and pick her up.
“Are you hungry? Why don’t we go buy some food to fill your stomach before we go home?” Huo Yichen asked.
Swimming was still very exhausting. It was not a comfortable experience to sleep hungry at night.
Murong Qiao touched her stomach. “Don’t. 1’11 gain weight easily if 1 eat at night.”
There were a lot of celebrities under her now, so Murong Qiao herself was starting to consciously want to manage her figure.
“No, I think you look cuter with more flesh,” Huo Yichen said seriously.
Murong Qiao was about to reply when her attention was attracted by the vibration of her cell phone.
[Qiaoqiao, 1 ate and drank with the production team. Are you free to pick me up? ] It was a message from An Nuo.
The sky outside the car window was already so dark that the stars couldn’t be seen clearly. There were also fewer people on the streets. Seeing An Nuo’s message, Murong Qiao immediately agreed.
It was already so late. Even if a beautiful girl took a taxi home, she would inevitably encounter bad people.
[Address.] MurongQiao replied.
After typing, she looked at Huo Yichen. “We might have to change our route.”
An Nuo quickly sent her the address of the hotel. It was not far from Murong Qiao’s current location.
Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen explained the situation slightly and the two of them immediately changed their route to the hotel.
The production team that An Nuo was eating with was very generous. The hotel they booked looked dazzling from the outside. It was a famous five-star hotel in the vicinity. Just the luxury cars at the entrance alone cost hundreds of thousands or millions.
Business was at its best at night.
Murong Qiao got out of Huo Yichen’s car. “I’ll go in first. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
After receiving Huo Yichen’s response, she walked into the hotel.
The exact address An Nuo gave was on the fourth floor. Murong Qiao found the location and waited, but she didn’t expect to see Huo Xiuyuan.
The other party was dressed in a suit and stood beside a girl with a glass of wine in his hand. They seemed to be chatting happily.
“No one has ever praised me like this.” A beautiful female voice sounded faintly.
The girl’s appearance reminded Murong Qiao of an exquisite doll. Her big eyes were black and white, and her good-looking and pure face was innocent. Coupled with her beautiful light yellow dress, the skirt swayed with an indescribable mischievous color.
Huo Xiuyuan’s smile deepened and he said something, causing the girl to blush even more. However, she couldn’t help but secretly look at Huo Xiuyuan. She was clearly very happy from his teasing.
No wonder he hadn’t come to harass her in the past few days. Murong Qiao understood..
