The atmosphere was a little stiff.
“…Professor Murong?” Murong Qiao called out slowly.
She could not be blamed for this reaction. The timing that Third Brother chose to appear was quite awkward.
Murong Qiao’s hand was still on Huo Yichen’s neck, wiping his sweat intimately. Meanwhile, Murong Chuan looked over with a faint gaze, making Murong Qiao feel that something was wrong.
Compared to Murong Qiao, who could still address him to ease the awkwardness, Huo Yichen sat stiffly at the side and was sized up by Murong Chuan’s gaze.
Especially when he saw that his Little Sister was still wearing Huo Yichen’s coat, Huo Yichen even felt a faint killing intent in the air.
Murong Chuan had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were even curved with a smile. He clearly looked very amiable, but the other two felt a chill run down their spines.
Murong Qiao slowly retracted her hand. “Um, I’ll leave for a while.”
She said softly to Huo Yichen before getting up to look for Murong Chuan.
After all, the other party’s smiling gaze made her hair stand on ends. No matter how she thought about it, he looked angry.
Time couldn’t wait for them. Afraid that something unexpected would happen on Murong Chuan’s side, Murong Qiao stood up and quickly walked towards Murong Chuan. In a few steps, she ran to his side and stood still, a fawning and guilty smile on her face.
Seeing Murong Qiao go over, Huo Yichen frowned and immediately stood up to follow, afraid that Murong Qiao would be reprimanded by Murong Chuan.
However, before he could take a step forward, he was stopped from moving by Murong Chuan’s gaze.
The coldness in his eyes rose to a freezing point. When he looked at Huo Yichen, his gaze was clearly hostile, as if he was saying, “Get lost.”
Murong Chuan had completely different att.i.tudes towards his Little Sister and the person who pried her away.
“…” Huo Yichen frowned and did not say anything.
Murong Qiao immediately sensed that Huo Yichen seemed to want to follow them and secretly followed behind Murong Chuan, signaling him not to follow.
If Huo Yichen really came with her, Murong Qiao felt that the scene of her Third Brother getting angry would definitely be comparable to the end of the world.
Fortunately, Huo Yichen stopped in the end and let Murong Chuan and Murong Qiao leave together.
The two of them distanced themselves from the basketball court and finally stopped at the small park at the other end of the field.
“What’s going on? Tell me.” Murong Chuan spoke first.
Murong Chuan saw the photos of his Little Sister and Huo Yichen being taken and placed on the forum, as well as their intimate posture just now.
At that moment, how could he still be in the mood to make soup? His Little Sister was about to be pried away!
Murong Qiao braced herself and said, “It’s… as what you saw?”
She sounded a little tentative and carefully observed Murong Chuan’s expression, feeling uncertain.
Murong Chuan raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything, indicating for her to continue.
“We like each other, and then he confessed to me and we started dating…”
Murong Qiao explained the situation of the two of them clearly, but her voice became softer and softer. When she mentioned that she had come to watch Huo Yichen play basketball today, her head hung to her chest.
Murong Chuan looked at his Little Sister, his expression darkening. “When did it start?”
Previously, when he saw the two of them together in the library, Murong Chuan thought that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were only close to each other.
In the end, they even started dating right under his nose.
“Winter?” Murong Qiao subconsciously mentioned the day Huo Yichen confessed.
Then, she realized that the time that the two of them started liking each other should have happened earlier.
However, when she saw her Third Brother’s dark expression, she still felt that she should swallow this part and not add on to it.
When he heard Murong Qiao say that it started in winter, Murong Chuan actually wasn’t surprised.
“Actually, I’ve always wanted to tell you.” Murong Qiao scratched her cheek guiltily. “It’s just that I didn’t find a chance—”
She did think so in her heart. As for the illusory ‘chance’, it should not be her fault, right?
Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and looked aimlessly at the lawn beside her, trying her best to hide the fact that she was secretly in a relationship. Her hands were subconsciously clasped in front of her.
Seeing Murong Qiao mention this, Murong Chuan almost laughed out of anger and nearly had a heart attack.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger rising in his chest. “You go back first.”
He was afraid that if Little Sister stayed any longer, she would see the side of him that had lost his composure. Moreover, Murong Chuan did not want to appear too controlling when it came to the issue of dating.
“Alright.” Murong Qiao nodded obediently.
When she heard her Third Brother ask her to leave, she heaved a sigh of relief and even felt a little glad.
Watching his Little Sister turn around and leave, Murong Chuan slowly exhaled and took out his phone to call Murong Zheng.
The phone only rang for a short time before it was answered.
“h.e.l.lo?” Murong Zheng replied.
Murong Chuan said what he had just heard without hesitation. “Little Sister is in a relationship.”
Murong Zheng’s hand that was holding the phone paused.
“In a relationship?” he asked.
Murong Chuan summarized, “She started dating that kid from the Huo Family last year.”
His tone was calm, but Murong Zheng, who was familiar with the other party’s style, could still hear a hint of gritted teeth in Murong Chuan’s tone.
“I’m doing an experiment. I’ll call you back later. As for Little Sister… we’ll talk when we get home,” Murong Zheng replied.
Murong Chuan agreed and ended the call. He put his hands in his pockets and left the place where he was originally standing.
No matter how he looked at it, it was not a small matter for his Little Sister to be in a relationship with Huo Yichen of the Huo Family.
Murong Qiao, who had been chased away by Murong Chuan, returned to the basketball court. Huo Yichen was still waiting for her.
“It’s fine.” Murong Qiao took the initiative to hug him and comfort him.
Facing Huo Yichen’s worried gaze, Murong Qiao sighed and remembered her Third Brother’s terrifying expression before he left.
No matter how she thought about it, it did not seem like he was fine.
Third Brother had discovered their relationship in such a way, making Murong Qiao more or less at a loss.
She pursed her lips and walked towards the school gate with Huo Yichen. “We might not be able to eat dessert today.”
When Murong Qiao mentioned the topic just now, she looked at Huo Yichen apologetically. She didn’t want her mood to affect the other party.
“Alright.” Huo Yichen nodded in agreement and did not ask further.
He only held Murong Qiao’s cold hand with his warm and dry palm, trying to make her feel better.
Seeing that Murong Qiao was a little distracted, Huo Yichen pulled her into his car and sent her home.
The next day was Sat.u.r.day. Murong Qiao had a new appointment at the last minute.
Fourth Brother, Yan Xiu, said that he wanted to design some clothes, so she had to go over and let him take the detailed measurements of her body.
Murong Qiao followed the address sent by him and found a design shop. She found her Fourth Brother’s studio and knocked on the door.
“Fourth Brother?” she asked softly.
The door opened in the next second, and the person standing behind it was Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu did not speak. After Murong Qiao entered, he turned around to get his usual tools.
Murong Qiao obediently found a place to stand to avoid touching anything.
“Stand properly,” Yan Xiu said.
He patted Murong Qiao’s shoulder and stood in front of her, planning to measure her shoulder data.
However, when he looked down, he saw a circular arc of light flickering under Murong Qiao’s neck.
Murong Qiao was wearing a V-neck inner lining today. Coupled with the fact that she was here to look for her Fourth Brother, the necklace with the ring was wrapped around her neck unguardedly, and Yan Xiu saw it clearly..
