Chapter 94: Nan Qiao Slapped the Big Villain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yichen turned around when he heard no reply.
He realized that it was Nan Qiao standing behind him.
The girl standing at the door came against the light. At this moment, the sun was rising. Under the sunlight, the girl’s hair was suffused with a warm golden color. It was so dazzling and bright.
Huo Yichen reined in his emotions and stood up. “Why are you here?”
“I…” Nan Qiao didn’t know what to say.
Without Huo Yichen’s cover, there was a black and white photo in the middle of the living room. It was Mother Huo.
In the end, she could only say, “I’m here to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
The dead could not be resurrected. Nan Qiao wanted to comfort Huo Yichen, but when she thought of the pain of losing his mother, she could not say anything.
Huo Yichen poured a glass of water for Nan Qiao and invited her to sit on the dilapidated sofa.
Huo Yichen’s heart was already broken. He couldn’t put up a front in front of Nan Qiao anymore and bore his pathetic situation to her.
In Nan Qiao’s eyes, the value of all their assets probably couldn’t compare to that of her clothes.
Huo Yichen had once heard people talking about the shirt Nan Qiao was wearing. That shirt alone seemed to cost more than 100,000 yuan.
Nan Qiao didn’t know why Huo Yichen’s mood plummeted. It seemed like it started when he saw her. Did he really not want to see her?
Nan Qiao held the cup in her hand and lowered her head, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes. She just wanted to do her best to help.
“Why are you the only one in the house?” The atmosphere between the two of them was too awkward, so Nan Qiao took the initiative to change the topic.
However, it seemed like this topic was even more difficult to continue the conversation.
It was awkward.
“You can choose not to answer…” Nan Qiao felt that this question had already encroached on his privacy, so Huo Yichen definitely wouldn’t want to reply, so she quickly added this sentence.
“It’s not that hard to say. The relatives at home are scared that we would want to borrow money from them. Now that my mother is gone, they won’t come.”
In the eyes of those people, if they came they would have to give money. This kind of money would not be returned, so they naturally would not come.
Moreover, they were even more afraid that he would ask them for money when they came to the funeral.
Nan Qiao bit her lips carefully.
“Do you need money now? If you do, I can…”
“I don’t need it.” Huo Yichen’s black eyes were like the best obsidian in the world. They were bottomless as he stared at Nan Qiao.
His fingers tightened bit by bit. Even if he starved to death, he would never borrow a single cent from Nan Qiao.
This was his last bit of dignity.
“When are you sending Mother Huo off?” Nan Qiao was nervous. She knew that Huo Yichen would never take her money. If she insisted on giving him money, it would arouse Huo Yichen’s disgust, so she never mentioned it again.
“Nan Qiao.” Unexpectedly, Nan Qiao was pulled into Huo Yichen’s arms and hugged tightly.
Feeling Huo Yichen’s tight grip on her arms, which was enough to hurt her, Nan Qiao deliberated for a moment. In the end, she did not shake off Huo Yichen’s arms. Instead, she reached out and hugged Huo Yichen back.
At this moment, Huo Yichen probably needed a hug.
How sad must he be when his only relative passed away?
Huo Yichen’s body stiffened when he felt Nan Qiao hug him back. Then, he hugged her even tighter.
“Thank you.”
Thank you for bringing me the only light when I was at my most desperate.
With Nan Qiao in his arms, Huo Yichen could easily smell that the girl’s fragrance didn’t smell like it came from perfume. Instead, it smelled like her natural body fragrance.
The smell was elegant and unique. He was almost addicted to it.
He reluctantly let go of her after a long time.
Nan Qiao patted Huo Yichen’s back twice.
“Don’t be too sad. She won’t want to see you like this either. After being tortured by illness for so many years, it might be a relief for her.”
Nan Qiao leaned her head against Huo Yichen’s neck and comforted him attentively. She didn’t notice that her hair was rubbing against Huo Yichen’s neck. The gentle teasing made Huo Yichen even more reluctant to let go.
But in the end, he had no choice but to let go.
“Go back. Don’t ever come here again.” Huo Yichen suppressed his emotions and pushed her away.
He looked down, not daring to meet Nan Qiao’s eyes.
“Can I come to see Auntie off tomorrow?” Nan Qiao didn’t know why Huo Yichen suddenly pushed her away. She felt that it was a little strange, but she still asked obediently.
Huo Yichen sneered, and a hint of impatience appeared between his brows.
“There’s no need. You and I are not of the same kind. There’s no need to pretend. I don’t need your pity at all. Do you think I’m a cat or a dog? When you pity me, you can just reward me with a bone and kick me away as soon as the novelty wears off?
I’ve seen many young ladies like you who do kind deeds on a whim. Get lost and don’t come back again.”
Nan Qiao’s face darkened. What did Huo Yichen mean?
Although her initial motive for getting close to Huo Yichen wasn’t pure, she had already treated him as her real friend.
If that wasn’t the case, why would she ask Teacher He to give Huo Yichen the 20,000 yuan bonus she received from participating in the show in a subtle way. How could this man suddenly change his attitude like that?
Nan Qiao felt a lot of anger and grievance surge in her chest for no reason. Her pearly white teeth gently scraped across her lower lip.
“I understand that you’re in a bad mood today, but please don’t say such hurtful words again. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Nan Qiao attributed the change of mood to the fact that Huo Yichen had just lost his mother.
She tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She wasn’t going to argue with him.
“Don’t you fucking understand? I told you not to come again.” Huo Yichen suddenly approached Nan Qiao and grabbed her chin. His grip was so strong that Nan Qiao’s cheeks hurt. “Since you insist on following me shamelessly, I’ll have a taste of you rich young ladies.”
Huo Yichen’s last words were close to Nan Qiao’s ear and only for her to hear.
There was a hint of magnetism in his low and hoarse voice, making one blush.
However, the occasion was not suitable.
When Nan Qiao heard this, she felt as if all the blood in her body was frozen.
Nan Qiao wanted to push Huo Yichen away, but Huo Yichen locked Nan Qiao’s arms tightly and bit her ear.
Nan Qiao used her school bag to hit Huo Yichen and then kicked him in the knee. She kicked Huo Yichen away, looking embarrassed and angry. There was even some hatred and humiliation.
“Pa!”
Nan Qiao slapped Huo Yichen hard on the face.
With tears in her eyes, she turned around and ran away..
