Chapter 360: Confession
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Murong Qiao say that she had something else to talk to them about, Xian Yu was the first to look up at her. His eyes were filled with questions, as if he didn’t understand why his Little Sister’s tone was a little hesitant.
“Could there be some other secret that’s been hidden from us?” Xian Yu guessed boldly.
These words. .h.i.t Murong Qiao’s heart.
However, when Xian Yu said that, he thought that it was something similar to the Moon G.o.ddess’s ident.i.ty. He didn’t expect Little Sister to be in a relationship.
Murong Qiao’s hand that was holding the fork paused. “Indeed.”
“Huo Yichen and 1 are in a relationship,” she said lightly.
Xian Yu was mentally prepared. After Murong Qiao finished speaking, he pretended to be calm and waved his hand.
“Oh, 1 thought—what did you say?”
Halfway through his sentence, Xian Yu reacted.
The dining table suddenly fell silent after Murong Qiao finished speaking.
“I said, I’m in love.” Murong Qiao exhaled and repeated, “With Huo Yichen.”
The moment these words were said, she felt her heart lighten and she suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Murong Qiao looked up and met Big Brother Murong Chen’s gaze. She could see the surprise that flashed across his eyes and subconsciously felt guilty.
“Big Brother, I’m serious,” she added softly.
Murong Chen did not say anything. He just silently put down his chopsticks and looked at his sister, who was not joking. He suddenly had an expected feeling in his heart.
He asked in a low voice, “When did it start?”
“Last year,” Murong Qiao replied honestly.
After knowing the time, Murong Chen was silent for a moment before he slowly exhaled. It was unknown if it was a sigh or something.
Other than Murong Chen, Xian Yu, who didn’t know anything, couldn’t hold it in.
“Y-y-you! You’ve dated him for so long and didn’t tell me!” Xian Yu exploded.
He looked at Murong Qiao with an accusing gaze and a hint of grievance.
Xian Yu looked at Murong Qiao. “You guys—”
“Xian Yu,” Murong Chen called out to him faintly.
Xian Yu instantly became obedient.
However, from his expression, it was obvious that he had a lot to say to Murong Qiao. However, because of Big Brother Murong Chen’s words, he sat obediently on the chair.
However, when he thought about how that person called Huo Yichen had secretly kidnapped Qiaoqiao from his hands, Xian Yu felt like he was about to explode with anger.
If he saw that guy…
Xian Yu gritted his teeth secretly as dozens of ways to make the other party suffer appeared in his mind.
“I’ve told you before.” Murong Chen suddenly mentioned, “The Huo Family isn’t a good choice.”
When he went to Hui University to look for Murong Qiao previously, Murong Chen even mentioned this matter to her alone. He didn’t expect that he still couldn’t guard against it in the end.
As soon as he mentioned this, Murong Qiao’s eyelashes fluttered. She lowered her eyes and stared at the food in front of her for a long time before speaking.
“I know that the Huo Family isn’t good, but… the Huo Family being a bad place doesn’t mean that Huo Yichen isn’t good,” Murong Qiao said.
She had thought about this a long time ago. “I knew him before he returned to the Huo Family.
He’s not like what Big Brother thinks. Even though he was later affected by entering a large family, I still believe that he’s still the same Huo Yichen I know. I also believe that his love for me is real.
Although it’s a little presumptuous, 1 actually agreed to his proposal on the night of my birthday…”
In a moment of carelessness, Murong Qiao said a lot without even realizing it.
However, she didn’t plan any of this. She just opened her mouth and seeing her Big Brother’s gaze on her, she subconsciously said it smoothly.
Throughout her long speech, no one present interrupted Murong Qiao.
Even the liveliest of the five, Xian Yu, did not disturb her. He sat in his seat and looked at Murong Qiao’s expression in a daze. Seeing the brightness in her eyes, he was speechless.
“…I’m sorry to say so much at once.” Murong Qiao stopped belatedly, but the smile on her face widened.
It was like a begonia flower that had finally found an existence to bloom for.
However, this did not save the gradually worsening mood of the Big Brothers and the flash of regret in their eyes as they looked at their Little Sister.
After all, it had not been easy for them to find their sister. This fresh cabbage had not been raised for long before it was… stolen. As her Big Brothers, their thoughts were inevitably complicated.
However, Murong Chen could naturally see the serious expression on his Little Sister’s face and her tone as she tried her best to win everyone’s approval.
This was a little difficult…
Murong Chen sighed silently in his heart. After a long silence, he thought of what to say.
“As long as you like him.” He nodded. This was also Murong Chen’s original intention of wanting his Little Sister to be happy.
As long as it was something Murong Qiao liked, the Murong Family could sweep away all the other troublesome consequences for her. Even if it was an existence like the Huo Family, Murong Chen would consider the possibilities.
However… when he thought about how his Little Sister had been kidnapped just like that and even secretly agreed to the other party’s proposal, Murong Chen felt a headache coming on.
Murong Zheng was expressionless as usual. He just waited for Murong Qiao to finish speaking and confirmed that she was not intoxicated by puppy love, and he nodded silently in agreement.
Just because he didn’t say anything didn’t mean that he had agreed to their relationship. His Little Sister liked this boy so seriously, so as a Big Brother, he naturally wouldn’t say anything. However, it was different for Huo Yichen.
Like Murong Zheng, the other four Big Brothers were all calculating in their hearts.
They had to find an opportunity to test Huo Yichen.
“Then, Big Brothers, did you agree?” Murong Qiao asked tentatively.
Before anyone could answer, Murong Qiao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. “Then let’s find a time to have a meal together?”
She had not forgotten her original goal.
However, Murong Qiao probably didn’t expect that her words happened to echo the intentions in the hearts of her Big Brothers.
“Sure.” Murong Chen didn’t think much about it and agreed.
Then, it was Xian Yu’s turn. “I want to see him too!”
“We’ll meet eventually. Let’s make an appointment.” Murong Chuan looked as if he had expected this.
Murong Zheng also nodded, indicating that he was fine with it. Then, he looked at Yan Xiu. The latter was silent for a moment before nodding.
“Then let’s set it at noon tomorrow.” In the end, it was Murong Chen who decided the time.
Just now, he was still thinking about when to test Huo Yichen. His Little Sister even personally handed over this opportunity.
Murong Qiao replied instinctively, “Alright, I’ll send him a message… Eh?”
She sounded puzzled at the end of her sentence before reacting.
Wasn’t this agreement… a little too straightforward?
Murong Qiao met Big Brother Murong Chen’s calm eyes and suddenly had an ominous feeling, as if someone was about to suffer.
“Alright, it’s decided then.” Murong Chen stood up.
He didn’t even look at the dinner in front of him. After saying the arrangements, he lost his appet.i.te.
Originally, it was a warm moment for the family to have dinner together. After hearing that his Little Sister had secretly dated for a year behind their backs, Murong Chen wanted to digest the news for a period of time.
After Murong Zheng meticulously chewed the stipulated number of times, he slowly swallowed the food and put down his cutlery.
“Then I’ll say goodnight in advance. 1’11 rest too.” He was the second to leave.
Xian Yu looked at his Eldest Brother and Murong Zheng’s departing figures in confusion. “So early?”
He seemed to be half a beat slower. At this moment, he was still digesting the fact that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were dating.
However, Murong Qiao acutely sensed that her Big Brothers had agreed to the appointment too swiftly, and there was even a faint sense of antic.i.p.ation in their tone.
Murong Qiao looked at her Third Brother, who had yet to leave. Seeing that the other party’s smile was especially “gentle”, she subconsciously swallowed her question..
