Chapter 377: She Said… To Play With You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ruan Ying led Murong Qiao around the long line and walked in through the VIP passageway.
“These are your tickets.” The man waiting here handed over two tickets.
He looked like a refined type, and the nameplate on his chest indicated his identity as the owner of the amusement park.
Ruan Ying took the ticket and stuffed it into Murong Qiao’s hands.
The ticket was dyed in black and gold. One didn’t need to look carefully to know that it was very noble.
“A roller coaster or a drop ride? 1 remember there’s also bungee jumping and a haunted house. They’re all very fun.” Ruan Ying picked a few exciting rides as soon as she came in.
Usually, she didn’t dare to play these rides alone, but it was different now.
Looking at Murong Qiao beside her, Ruan Ying subconsciously held her hand and walked forward, no longer afraid.
Murong Qiao looked at her excited expression. “As long as you’re not afraid.” “How can 1 be afraid! I’m super strong!” Ruan Ying patted her chest.
She tried her best to establish a perfect image in front of Murong Qiao.
Unfortunately, when the roller coaster really rose to a great height and overlooked the crowd that had almost shrunk to ants below, people often couldn’t control their reactions.
“Ahhhhhh—”
A deafening scream sounded in Murong Qiao’s ears.
She felt the wind blow past her face. Ruan Ying, who was beside her, grabbed her arm tightly. She even nervously increased her strength as the coaster flipped over, looking like she was facing death calmly.
She was completely different from her confident appearance at the beginning.
After coming down from the roller coaster, Murong Qiao didn’t change much. On the other hand, Ruan Ying had gone to the toilet twice and returned with a pale face.
“Ahem… It was an accident.” She tried to save her face.
Murong Qiao handed her a bottle of ice water. “For you.”
Ruan Ying didn’t stand on ceremony. She took the water and took two sips, feeling much more energetic.
“I think I can still fight.” Ruan Ying fanned herself with her hand. Now, she could fight again.
Murong Qiao pretended to be skeptical. “Really?”
Ruan Ying naturally couldn’t lose. She immediately expressed that she could try the drop ride.
As for the results… the two of them only played sport rides in the end.
For example, Ruan Ying was unwilling to even take a step into the Haunted House.
The friendship between the girls had warmed up miraculously. After only a day in the amusement park, Ruan Ying couldn’t stop calling out “Qiaoqiao”.
She treated people warmly, straightforwardly, and readily. After interacting with her for a long time, Murong Qiao subconsciously became infected and often smiled.
Fate was so magical. In just a day, the two of them exchanged contact information and quickly became friends.
However, no matter how bright the weather was, it couldn’t compare to the gloomy atmosphere of the Huo Family.
Ever since the engagement was canceled, Huo Hong’s temper had become much more unpredictable. Huo Xiuyuan was even locked up at home and was not allowed to go out at all.
“Going out will only embarrass the Huo Family.” These were Huo Hong’s words.
Ruan Ying’s action of canceling the engagement in public embarrassed Huo Hong. She had pulled his face to the ground and stepped on it, looking down on the Huo Family.
Huo Yichen was brought to the study by Huo Hong to talk.
“You’ve been doing well in the company recently.” Huo Hong relaxed his eyebrows.
After what Huo Xiuyuan had done, Huo Hong found Huo Yichen extremely pleasing to the eye.
Huo Yichen was as calm as ever. He didn’t look happy even after being praised, which made Huo Hong admire him even more.
“In that case, you’ll be in charge of this project.” Huo Hong then pushed out a document.
Huo Yichen had been home for so long. It was time for him to try his hand.
Huo Hong naturally had his own considerations. Seeing Huo Yichen’s growth after returning home, even Huo Hong had to admit that his son was extremely talented.
His body was no longer as good as before. Even if his vitality looked fine, there was no guarantee that an “accident” would happen one day.
Huo Yichen lowered his eyes and took the document. “Alright.”
He took it and flipped through it. He didn’t show it on his face, but he was a little surprised.
Huo Yichen knew that this project was of a new piece of land recently developed by the Huo Family. The project was related to the government and that made it invaluable.
Huo Hong really valued him so much that he even let him try it out.
“…Don’t disappoint me.” Huo Hong waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Whether it was his bloodline or ability, Huo Xiuyuan was far inferior to Huo Yichen.
Even if Huo Yichen was an untamed wolf, he was still his son. Moreover, he had gotten someone to investigate Huo Yichen some time ago and didn’t find anything.
Huo Yichen left the study and returned to his room. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Young Master?” It was the butler outside.
Huo Yichen let him in, but his eyes were fixed on the document in his hand.
He was in a rare good mood. “Huo Hong let his guard down. This is a good time.”
Huo Yichen had placed the equipment that interfered with the surveillance cameras in his room early in the morning, so he had no qualms talking to the butler.
“If Huo Xiuyuan finds out that he’s benefiting you instead, he’ll probably go crazy with anger.” The butler’s tone was smiling.
Huo Hong had asked the butler to call Huo Yichen to the study just now, so he knew Huo Hong’s decision.
Huo Yichen’s thoughtful gaze landed on the document and he began to plan his future actions.
If he didn’t do anything with such a heaven-sent opportunity, he would be letting down Huo Hong’s good intentions and Huo Xiuyuan’s “effort”.
In the next few days, everyone’s lives seemed to have returned to normal.
The waves regarding the engagement gradually disappeared, and Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen returned to school. However, the time they spent with each other had decreased a little. In its place were the two of them appearing in their respective companies.
“Boss, these are new documents.”
“There’s also this batch that needs you to take a look…”
“We’ll have an impromptu meeting in the morning and an interview in the afternoon, as well as two brands coming to discuss cooperation with us.”
Jiang Chi’s report almost made Murong Qiao react.
As soon as she returned to the company and saw the documents piled up in her office that were almost half the height of a person, her vision darkened. She wished she hadn’t come.
Unfortunately, she was a poor boss. Not only did she have to review these documents, but she also had to sign them. Murong Qiao had to pay attention to them.
“Boss—” Jiang Chi pushed the door open and entered again.
Murong Qiao looked up in resignation. “Another document?”
Her tone was much weaker. When she said this to Jiang Chi, she didn’t forget to sign her name on the document in her hand.
“No.” Jiang Chi shook his head. “A Young Miss called Ruan Ying came to the company and said that she… wanted to play with you.”
He gave a concise report.
Murong Qiao was confused for a moment. “Ruan Ying? Let her in.”
She hadn’t seen the other party in a few days after returning to school. She didn’t expect Ruan Ying to actually chase her to the company.
“Yes,” Jiang Chi agreed.
Not long after he went out, Ruan Ying pushed the door open and entered.
“Qiaoqiao!” She leaned over to Murong Qiao.
Ruan Ying was carrying several bags in her hand. She looked like she had just finished shopping.
Murong Qiao looked at her. “Why didn’t you get someone to carry it for you?”
The Ruan Family treasured Ruan Ying so much that they brought at least two people to protect her when they went out.
“These are all for you,” Ruan Ying said matter-of-factly.
She placed a few bags on the ground, revealing the clothes and accessories inside. Just by looking at the brands on the bags, one could tell that they were expensive.
“After thinking about it carefully, 1 realized that I haven’t given you anything since we met. So, I went shopping before coming,” she said..
