Chapter 442: Caught Red Handed by Little Sister
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After venting his anger, Nan Hao could be said to be in a good mood. After doing a series of actions, he was about to go back to his work.
In the end, when he turned around, he froze on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning. His limbs were stiff and he didn’t know what to do.
“You, I—”
The moment he saw Murong Qiao standing behind him, Nan Hao’s mind went blank.
He didn’t know which word to use to describe himself. The only thought in his mind was whether Murong Qiao had seen his actions just now.
Murong Qiao crossed her arms and looked at Nan Hao’s nervous and inarticulate appearance. A faint smile flashed across her eyes.
“Let’s talk somewhere else. It’s not convenient here,” she reminded him softly.
The banquet was very close, and Huo Xiuyuan was still in the room. It was not suitable for the two of them to talk.
Nan Hao nodded and went to an empty balcony with Murong Qiao.
His emotions came and went quickly, and Nan Hao quickly calmed down. After coughing lightly in an attempt to hide his embarrassment, he couldn’t help but look up at Murong Qiao to observe her expression and emotions.
“You… didn’t see anything, right?” Nan Hao couldn’t help but ask.
As soon as he said this, Nan Hao first wanted to slap himself.
The sense of accidentally revealing what he intended to hide was too strong, causing Nan Hao to involuntarily spurn his sudden stupidity in his heart.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows, her smiling voice filled with teasing.
“Are you talking about locking the door and throwing the clothes, or deliberately splashing alcohol on people?”
When Murong Qiao said everything that had just happened, Nan Hao’s face turned red.
Murong Qiao counted Nan Hao’s actions carefully and naturally knew that he was venting her anger for her. However, seeing that Nan Hao was silent and couldn’t explain himself and let her continue, she couldn’t help but feel a little amused and gentle.
“I just can’t stand him.” Nan Hao snorted.
When Murong Qiao saw what had happened previously, her heart skipped a beat. Nan Hao avoided his eyes and looked around, not looking at Murong Qiao.
The sequins on the hem of her dress sparkled, and the soft fog fabric that looked very high-grade was so beautiful that it dazzled the eyes. Nan Hao didn’t recognize it and took another look before his gaze was attracted, and his heart drifted away.
Murong Qiao was dressed very beautifully today, like a fairy. Nan Hao had seen her when he entered the venue.
However, he stood in the crowd and moved around with a tray of wine, but he didn’t walk towards Murong Qiao.
The attendant uniform on his body was like an invisible restraint that imprisoned Nan Hao in the distance, making him feel afraid and not dare to approach his shining sister.
One was in the sky, and the other was underground. This was the first time Nan Hao had clearly felt that his Little Sister was so far away from him, as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.
“…Nan Hao?” Murong Qiao’s puzzled voice pulled Nan Hao back to reality.
Nan Hao suddenly came back to his senses. “What?”
Looking at his confused expression, Murong Qiao could only repeat her question.
“Why are you here?” Her gaze slid down to Nan Hao’s waiter uniform.
Murong Qiao could tell what Nan Hao was doing. However, it didn’t make sense for Nan Hao to appear here on such a noble and grand occasion.
Nan Hao lowered his eyes and answered her question honestly, “The boss of the western restaurant recommended me.”
“They said that they were short of people and the salary was tripled, so I came.”
He pursed his lips and when he spoke, he subconsciously avoided Murong Qiao’s gaze.
However, his answer to the question was honest enough. The Huo Family didn’t have enough manpower for Huo Hong’s birthday celebration this time.
In addition, the boss of the western restaurant he used to work at knew the Huo Family, so Nan Hao was recommended to help at the last minute.
On one hand, the salary was tempting. On the other hand, he heard from his boss that the Huo Family would invite many people. Nan Hao thought that he might see his Little Sister, so he couldn’t help but agree.
In the end, they did meet, but this situation was… a little more special than Nan Hao had imagined.
“How’s Nan Jin’s injury?” Murong Qiao couldn’t help but ask.
Ever since the two of them finished eating last time, Murong Qiao had not heard from Nan Jin. This time, she bumped into Nan Hao and couldn’t help but ask.
Hearing Murong Qiao’s question, Nan Jin answered without thinking.
“He doesn’t like to apply medicine himself, but there doesn’t seem to be a big problem these few days.” Nan Jin told the truth and complained to his Little Sister about his Second Brother’s “rebellion” after he returned home.
He only found out about Nan Kang later.
At that time, when he returned home for dinner after school, he saw the wound on Nan Jin’s hand and Nan Xuan’s extremely ugly and dark face. Nan Hao felt that something was wrong.
After learning about Nan Kang and Murong Qiao, Nan Hao’s reaction was even greater than theirs. His eyes were so red that he wished he could go to the police station to look for Nan Kang on the spot.
Murong Qiao curled her lips, clearly in a better mood. “As long as he’s fine.”
“Huo Xiuyuan is a petty person. Be careful,” Murong Qiao reminded him in the end.
After all, Nan Hao’s actions just now were also for her. Thinking of Huo Xiuyuan’s fruitless pursuit of her previously, Murong Qiao didn’t have a good impression of this person from the beginning to the end.
Nan Hao replied gloomily, “I’m going back.”
If he stayed here for a long time and was discovered, he would lose his salary today. Moreover, if he stood with his Little Sister like this and was seen by those gossipy people—
Nan Hao took a step back, not wanting his Little Sister to be affected by those things.
Murong Qiao naturally couldn’t stop him from working part-time to earn money. She still remembered that she was going to look for Huo Yichen, so she couldn’t waste any more time.
Nan Hao immediately walked out, but when he took a step, he regretted not being able to spend more time with his Little Sister. It was clearly not easy for him to see her.
With this thought in mind, he subconsciously slowed down and finally slowly stood still to look behind him.
Murong Qiao hadn’t left yet, and their eyes met.
“…You look very beautiful today.”
Nan Hao added, then quickly turned around and disappeared.
His slightly disheveled back disappeared at the other end of the corridor. Murong Qiao actually saw a hint of fleeing from him.
She laughed unconsciously, feeling much better because of Nan Hao’s actions.
The two of them were in a good mood, but someone was still waiting bitterly in the room. Then, Huo Xiuyuan finally realized that something was wrong and became anxious.
“Does it take half a day to find a set of clothes?” Huo Xiuyuan paced back and forth.
After taking a quick shower, he only wrapped a towel around his body and waited.
In the end, the servant didn’t knock for a long time, making Huo Xiuyuan impatient. Just as he was about to go out, he realized that the set of clothes he had taken off had disappeared.
Huo Xiuyuan frowned tightly. His furious chest heaved violently, but he could not get out.
It was naturally not appropriate to shout for someone to come over. This place was very close to the banquet. If a guest or someone else was called over, the current situation would be even more difficult to explain.
His cell phone and clothes had been taken away. If he went out naked now, wouldn’t he be a joke to those people?
If Huo Xiuyuan really did that, Huo Hong might kill him faster than gossip could spread.
The Huo Family couldn’t afford to lose face like this, and neither could Huo Xiuyuan. He could only stay in his room..
