Chapter 369: Sweet Trap
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Knowing that Murong Qiao was waiting for her, An Nuo hurriedly came out from the other end of the corridor and saw Murong Qiao at a glance.
She pounced on her. “Sorry, sorry. Did you wait long?”
An Nuo’s breath carried a little wine fragrance. She didn’t drink much, but she couldn’t drive under the influence of alcohol, so she could only ask Murong Qiao if she could pick her up.
Murong Qiao was still looking at Huo Xiuyuan and didn’t react for a moment, so An Nuo followed her gaze.
“Wait, you’ve fallen in love with someone else? Didn’t you act like you were very set on one person not long ago?” An Nuo sneered.
She had also seen Huo Xiuyuan and the girl, so she mocked them.
However, Murong Qiao felt relaxed. “It’s better to change the target so that it won’t be annoying.”
There were so many discussions about her love life on the forum that it could be used to publish several books. Among them, Huo Xiuyuan occupied the main bulk.
“I feel like that girl looks a little familiar…” An Nuo seemed to have thought of something, but she couldn’t say it.
Murong Qiao retracted her gaze and didn’t look anymore. “Ah Chen is waiting downstairs. Let’s go.”
She was not in the mood to pay attention to Huo Xiuyuan, let alone make Huo Yichen wait.
“Let’s go.” An Nuo nodded and held Murong Qiao’s arm.
The two of them stopped paying attention to Huo Xiuyuan, but Huo Xiuyuan had noticed her when Murong Qiao came.
When he saw Murong Qiao standing not far away from him, his heart tightened, afraid that the other party would ruin his plans.
“What are you looking at?” The girl, Ruan Ying, asked him.
She tilted her head and looked at Huo Xiuyuan, her movements indescribably delicate.
Ruan Ying followed Huo Xiuyuan’s gaze. “Do you know that girl?”
She only saw Murong Qiao’s blurry back view. Her tone was curious and a little jealous.
Huo Xiuyuan hurriedly came back to her senses. “No, she just kept looking over.”
He didn’t want Murong Qiao to ruin his plan. It wasn’t easy for him to trick Ruan Ying.
He casually made up an excuse. Seeing Ruan Ying’s eyes filled with love, he immediately diverted her attention.
“Alright, then you’re not allowed to look at her anymore,” Ruan Ying demanded.
This Young Lady’s delicateness and willfulness were all displayed on her body. Ruan Ying even dared to pull Huo Xiuyuan.
Huo Xiuyuan smiled gently. “The most beautiful girl is standing in front of me. How can I bear to look at others?”
Ruan Ying immediately blushed, and her blunt edge disappeared.
“You’re used to saying beautiful things.” She pouted and pretended to be angry.
However, such a move was very useful to a girl like Ruan Ying. It was also deliberately done by Huo Xiuyuan.
Ruan Ying was the target Huo Xiuyuan had chosen. She was the key to Huo Yichen’s downfall in the future.
In the industry, other than the Huo Family, which was ranked first, and the Murong Family, which was ranked second, the Ruan Family was third.
As for Ruan Ying, she was the most favored existence in the Ruan Family. She was the precious daughter of the Ruan Family, and they would give her whatever she wanted.
Ruan Ying, who had a pure personality and had been doted on since she was young, was innocent. Under Huo Xiuyuan’s deliberate approach under the guise of a “coincidence”, she quickly fell for him.
Or rather, Huo Xiuyuan’s sweet words and methods were simply a blow to Ruan Ying.
“It’s so late. Shall I take you home?”
He restrained the scheming in his eyes and turned to look at Ruan Ying. Then, he turned into an elegant Young Master and raised a smile that tempted Ruan Ying as he asked gently.
As long as he could take down Ruan Ying, Huo Hong would definitely look at him in a different light. As for Huo Yichen… what was he?
Huo Xiuyuan’s mind was racing.
Meanwhile, Murong Qiao and An Nuo had just left the hotel and were sitting in Huo Yichen’s car.
“I feel like I’m eating dog food,” An Nuo complained to Murong Qiao with a smile.
If she had known that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were together when she sent the message, she would definitely not have disturbed their relationship.
Murong Qiao poked her forehead. “Then eat more. I’ll stuff you to death.”
The journey back was especially fast. Most of the time, it was An Nuo and Murong Qiao talking. Huo Yichen, who was acting as the chauffeur to escort the two of them home, would interrupt from time to time.
When Murong Qiao and An Nuo returned to the apartment, it was already midnight.
“I remember!” An Nuo suddenly said.
Murong Qiao turned to look at her, not understanding her thoughts at all.
“That girl seems to be Ruan Ying. I’ve seen her a few times before, at the banquet,” An Nuo added.
Realization dawned on her. “I was wondering why she looked so familiar.”
“The one from the Ruan Family?” Murong Qiao only had a little impression of her.
She didn’t know much about the matters between the large families, but regarding the Ruan Family, which was ranked third, she still knew a little.
Huo Xiuyuan probably felt that she was difficult to deal with, so he changed his target to please Ruan Ying.
An Nuo nodded. “The Ruan Family has doted on her since she was young. She’s very innocent.”
After saying this, she recalled the scene she had seen at the hotel.
It was not a good thing for someone like Ruan Ying to fall into Huo Xiuyuan’s hands.
Beep, beep, beep—the alarm clock suddenly rang.
An Nuo reacted as if she’d been startled from a dream. “Oh no, oh no. There’s still filming tomorrow. Let’s not talk about it anymore, Qiao. I have to sleep.”
She hurriedly said this and went into the bathroom to wash up. If she didn’t sleep and went to the production team tomorrow with dark circles under her eyes, her acting skills would be reduced.
“Alright, I’m going to sleep too. Good night,” Murong Qiao said to her.
Fortunately, Murong Qiao didn’t think too much about it. It was good enough that Huo Xiuyuan didn’t come to disturb her.
Without his “visit” these few days, Murong Qiao felt that the air in Hui University had become much fresher.
Unfortunately, not everyone could see through Huo Xiuyuan’s hypocritical appearance like Murong Qiao.
Ruan Ying was almost immersed in the gentleness Huo Xiuyuan had specially created for her. She was certain that she had found her destined soulmate in this life.
From the time they met to the time they became familiar with each other to the time they fell in love, Huo Xiuyuan quickly pushed the progress bar forward, but Ruan Ying didn’t know that she had fallen into the other party’s honeyed trap.
Even the Ruan Family had noticed the change in their Young Miss recently. Mother Ruan even called her daughter over to have a heart-to-heart talk and asked her openly and secretly if she was in love.
“Although we haven’t known each other for long, I feel that he’s the one!” Ruan Ying sat beside her mother and expressed her feelings with a red face.
Mother Ruan listened to her daughter’s words seriously, her face filled with indulgence and love.
The flesh and blood borne from her body was nurtured into such an innocent personality. It made the Ruan Family happy and worried. They were afraid that she would be deceived by a few words from someone with ulterior motives.
“Can you tell me about him?” Mother Ruan was as gentle as usual.
Ruan Ying’s eyes lit up. “His name is Huo Xiuyuan. We met at the c.o.c.ktail party a few days ago. He’s a gentleman and very good-looking. When we first met, my heart skipped a beat when we looked at each other…”
At the mention of Huo Xiuyuan, Ruan Ying’s words seemed endless.
“In short, I think it’s him! He’s my soulmate!”
She nodded heavily and said firmly. At the thought of Huo Xiuyuan, she couldn’t help but smile. She even used a more artistic term to describe him.
For the past few days, Ruan Ying had spent almost all her time on Huo Xiuyuan. She was practically glued to him.
Mother Ruan had always indulged her daughter. After learning that Ruan Ying was in a relationship, she asked a little and found out that Huo Xiuyuan was a Young Master from the Huo Family, so she was no longer worried.
That was the Huo Family. If the two young people really got together, it would be considered a strong alliance. More importantly, Ruan Ying also liked him. This was the best of both worlds..
