Chapter 467: Flowers for You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before everyone could gossip about the results, the few people gathered together heard footsteps approaching.
Hence, everyone hurriedly changed from slacking off to returning to their seats almost instantly and pretending to work diligently to prevent themselves from being discovered.
However, Huo Yichen had no time to look at them now. He was only focused on chasing after Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao, who was a little jealous, walked really quickly. When Huo Yichen chased after her from the office, she was already in the corner and getting on the elevator.
Helpless, Huo Yichen could only press the elevator beside him.
The two of them flashed past like the wind, shocking everyone. They even saw their President lose his composure for the first time and chase after a girl in a hurry. The few people who were gossiping just now were shocked.
‘You… can you pinch me?” The colleague tugged at the person beside him.
Was he dreaming? Otherwise, why would he see his President chasing after a girl in such a hurry?
The person who was pulled pinched his colleague without hesitation. After hearing the cry of pain, everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream. They looked at each other and realized the surprise in their eyes.
“So, the girl you mentioned just now is that person?” someone asked.
To be honest, she was indeed beautiful. She was better-looking than anyone she had ever seen.
“I did see the person, but this—”
Her answer was hesitant. She was clearly shocked by the scene just now.
“Then… what’s going on? Young Miss Jiang, this person, and our President Huo…”
The gossipy words suddenly stopped because the familiar and forceful sound of high heels approached.
Then, everyone saw Jiang Weiyang leave with a dark expression.
As for Ye Zhen, who finally came out of the President’s office, he bore the gossipy gazes of everyone on the 40th floor.
“Special Assistant Ye, what’s wrong with President Huo?” Someone at the side asked boldly.
Ye Zhen glanced at him. “Work hard. If you gossip again, your salary will be deducted.”
This sentence made everyone stop talking. At least, no one dared to talk about it anymore. They all lowered their heads and looked at their computers.
However, no one knew what they were thinking.
The elevator descended rapidly.
Murong Qiao looked down at the white rose bouquet in her hand, still recalling the scene she had just seen.
Although she knew, jealousy was not something she could control. Thinking of how Jiang Weiyang had deliberately approached Huo Yichen just now, Murong Qiao still felt a little sour in her heart.
Ding!
The elevator door opened.
Murong Qiao walked out and was about to tell the girl at the front desk to give the flowers to Huo Yichen when she realized that she had pressed the wrong floor after leaving the elevator.
She had mistaken the first floor for the basement. Facing the underground parking lot of many cars in front of her, she couldn’t help but have a headache.
Forget it, she would just take a taxi after walking out of the parking lot.
Murong Qiao was about to leave, but before she could act, she was pulled back by Huo Yichen, who was chasing after her.
She was caught off guard and fell back because of Huo Yichen’s strength. After her brain reacted, she realized that she had already been pulled into the car.
“I’m sorry, Qiaoqiao. It’s my fault for not pulling away from Jiang Weiyang in time,” Huo Yichen apologized sincerely.
His gaze was filled with apology and frustration as he looked at her deeply.
That focused gaze on her made Murong Qiao feel as if her entire body was burning. An indescribable heat rose from the bottom of her heart bit by bit, and then it enveloped her entire body.
She turned her head away from him, her mouth still stubborn. “There’s no need to explain.”
It was ironic.
Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows and immediately judged Murong Qiao’s thoughts.
“Of course I have to explain,” he replied seriously. Then, his tone became serious. “What if someone secretly drops the pearls?”
“Who—” Murong Qiao blushed in embarrassment and immediately turned around to retort.
How could she do such a childish thing? She definitely wouldn’t drop the little pearls. She was clearly just jealous.
However, when she turned around and met Huo Yichen’s gaze, she immediately fell silent.
The beautiful peach blossom eyes at the corners of his eyes were especially bright. His eyes were so clear that they only contained her figure as he looked at her steadily.
The distance between them gradually shortened, and even her breathing became hot.
Every time Murong Qiao saw Huo Yichen’s face, she felt that there was no one so good-looking, and this was no exception.
She felt her face heat up, and her voice involuntarily softened.
“Why are you so close?”
It was completely different from the aura just now. She didn’t look fierce and even seemed a little soft.
Huo Yichen’s handsome face was filled with seriousness. “I want to apologize to you.”
He said it too seriously, and there was no hint of glibness in his tone at all. His voice at the end was low like a hook, inadvertently teasing the listener’s heartstrings.
Murong Qiao pursed her lips and suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up. She deliberately ignored him with a serious expression.
Seeing that she was silent, Huo Yichen lowered his body again, as if he wanted to hug Murong Qiao intimately. He looked down from above and held her waist with one hand as he pressed her towards him.
This action pressed down the white roses that Murong Qiao was still carrying, making a sound that attracted Huo Yichen’s attention.
He glanced sideways at the flowers, then turned his gaze back to her with a smile.
“These flowers are for me?”
“It’s not.”
Murong Qiao retorted stubbornly in the next second.
However, Huo Yichen saw his name written on the card on the bouquet.
“I originally wanted to look for you to surprise you tonight. I’m sorry to disturb your mood. I promise this won’t happen again.”
Huo Yichen had promised that he had never had time to deal with Jiang Weiyang’s matter. Now that it had affected Murong Qiao, he naturally wouldn’t tolerate it.
Murong Qiao looked up at him steadily.
Just as Huo Yichen thought that she was still stubborn, he heard Murong Qiao mutter in an extremely low voice.
“…The flowers are for you.”
If not for the fact that she had been relying on her self-control to keep a straight face, Murong Qiao wouldn’t have been able to withstand this attack. Just the fact that Huo Yichen was so close to her made her feel her heart soften.
A chuckle suddenly came from above.
Murong Qiao looked up and saw the lights outside the car faintly refracting in, cutting the dark space into black and white. A deep and gentle fragrance enveloped it, and the white shirt outlined the beautiful and strong human curves of the person in front of her.
Everything seemed to become blurry and ambiguous. Even the clear colors in her vision were mottled, leaving only a kiss that pecked her eyes like a feather.
Murong Qiao subconsciously closed her eyes and focused. She couldn’t be bothered to listen to what Huo Yichen seemed to say in a low voice. She was held tightly by the other party’s warm palm and waist, leaning close to feel this passion.
The atmosphere became hazy. Even Murong Qiao’s lips and teeth opened slightly, allowing the enemy to enter the city and begin a gentle plunder.
However, Murong Qiao had closed her eyes, so she didn’t see the flames burning in Huo Yichen’s eyes. She didn’t see the expression of forbearance and enjoyment on his face.
However, the initiative was taken. Just as Huo Yichen was about to end this passionate kiss and wanted to leave, Murong Qiao took the initiative and bit his lip.
He saw the light in the eyes of the person below him in the darkness, and he also saw that her lips, which had been swollen by his kiss, were even more beautiful. Coupled with her loose black hair and the skin exposed by her half-open collar—
Huo Yichen closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about the whiteness, but the image in his mind was even clearer..
