Chapter 400: Long Time No See
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
The two of them didn’t expect to see each other here.
This was really a surprise.
Then, before Murong Qiao could say anything else, her lips were sealed by Huo Yichen and she softened in the other party’s arms.
It was unknown if it was because they had not seen each other for a long time, but Huo Yichen seemed to be more domineering than before. Even his kisses were like an army pressing down on a city. Murong Qiao could barely breathe.
His palm was pressed against Murong Qiao’s slender waist. As his thoughts surged, even the temperature of his palm became hot. It tightened around her slender waist, making it impossible for Murong Qiao to escape his control.
Huo Yichen had not seen Murong Qiao for too long, so it was difficult for him to suppress the desire to hold her in his arms. His dark eyes were filled with surging emotions, as if he wanted to swallow the entire person in his arms.
“Wu!” Murong Qiao was almost out of breath.
In the end, she had no choice but to bite Huo Yichen’s lips harder to give herself a moment to catch her breath.
Murong Qiao felt that her mouth must be swollen. “Are you going to suffocate me to death?”
“How could that be?” Huo Yichen replied.
But looking at the gaze that was still on Murong Qiao’s lips, it was obvious that he was still unsatisfied.
Murong Qiao gently touched her lips with her fingertips. Fortunately, he didn’t bite them.
However, Huo Yichen’s gaze had never left her since he entered. He looked at every strand of Murong Qiao’s hair and every inch of her skin greedily. The more he looked at her, the more beautiful she seemed. She was clearly a face that had long been engraved in his heart, but he felt even more amazed. He felt that even one look from Murong Qiao made him unable to help himself…
“The Huo Family and the Murong Family have a joint work project.” Huo Yichen suppressed his desire in the end. “I’m the person in charge.”
He still explained a little, allowing Murong Qiao to understand why Huo Yichen was here.
As they spoke, Huo Yichen sat beside Murong Qiao and couldn’t help but hug her. He buried his head between Murong Qiao’s shoulder and neck and greedily absorbed her unique fragrance.
“I really want to end this quickly,” Huo Yichen said gloomily.
It was rare for him to shed his cold expression. He only opened his heart to Murong Qiao, but he didn’t say anything about his busy life during this period.
Murong Qiao hugged him back but felt that this was not enough. Then, she turned her head gently and kissed the side of Huo Yichen’s face, as if she was comforting him.
“It’s fine. You don’t have to be so anxious. I can wait for you.” Murong Qiao chuckled.
Huo Yichen was unwilling. “I want to marry you as soon as possible.”
If not for the sake of inheriting the Huo Family and giving Murong Qiao a grand wedding, Huo Yichen would not have cared about Huo Hong’s expectations and the Huo Family’s huge Corporation.
From the beginning to the end, he only had Murong Qiao in his heart.
“But you can’t damage your body,” Murong Qiao said.
She stretched out her hands and held Huo Yichen’s face. She slowly lifted him up and turned him around so that he could look into his eyes.
The shadow under the light covered his eyes, leaving only a little clarity. However, this also made Murong Qiao see that only her own shadow was left, as well as his focus and love for her.
Murong Qiao suddenly calmed down. “I’m going to cry if you work so hard for me.”
She spoke half-jokingly, but her tone was a little serious to hide the sourness and joy in her heart.
Huo Yichen looked at her steadily. He saw Murong Qiao’s flushed face and the blush on her snow-white skin that gradually spread to her slender and fair neck.
“If you cry, I can only coax you.” He laughed helplessly.
After not seeing her for so long, how could Huo Yichen bear to say anything harsh to Murong Qiao? He was only willing to follow her lead.
Murong Qiao wanted to laugh at his words, but his eyes had just been dyed red by his emotions. He looked a little like a little rabbit with red eyes.
The fire that had just been suppressed began to recover bit by bit.
However, the occasion and atmosphere were not right. Huo Yichen’s rationality also remembered that he still had something important to do.
In order to divert his attention, he simply reached out to take an orange and peeled it. He also removed all the white threads from the orange petals and stuffed them into Murong Qiao’s hand, using the excuse of hydrating her before crying.
Murong Qiao laughed at his words. “Didn’t Huo Hong investigate you?”
“It’s just that there’s been no movement recently,” Huo Yichen replied. “It’s best to wait for me to take control of the Huo Family.”
In the face of the strongest wealth and power, all schemes and lies would be useless.
“I’ve been busy with many things in the company recently, and I have to prepare a thesis…” Murong Qiao said.
With Huo Yichen by her side, she would never feel bored. Her mind could always think of the next topic before the topic ended, allowing her to talk endlessly.
Murong Qiao half complained and half enjoyed telling Huo Yichen about the trivial matters of life, especially when the other party replied seriously and attentively.
“Why don’t you come to my house for dinner tonight? I originally planned to go home with Big Brother.” Murong Qiao invited.
However, Huo Yichen had no choice but to refuse. “I still have to go back to the company. If I go to the Murong Family, Huo Hong will definitely find out.”
He had only come today to report the progress of the project. It was already a pleasant surprise to see Murong Qiao.
With his long-awaited longing relieved, Huo Yichen felt much more motivated.
“That’s true…” Thinking of the Huo Family, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but sigh.
Huo Yichen, the heir who had returned halfway, had blocked the plans of countless people. If anything happened, he would probably become the target of public criticism.
As the two of them spoke, steady and rhythmic footsteps approached from the door, accompanied by the secretary’s report. When they heard “President Murong”, it was not difficult to guess the ident.i.ty.
“Big Brother—” Murong Qiao greeted Murong Chen as soon as he entered.
Her energetic voice and tone made it difficult for people not to see that she was in a good mood.
Murong Chen rubbed her head. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming? You’ve waited for me for so long.”
He had just heard from his secretary that Murong Qiao was here, so he was not surprised to see his Little Sister. He was just annoyed that he had been in the meeting room for too long and made Murong Qiao wait for so long.
Murong Chen reached out and hugged her, but then he frowned. “Why do I feel like you’ve lost weight again?”
“I didn’t tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise.” Murong Qiao smiled until her eyes curved. “I’ve lost weight recently. I look better if I lose some weight.”
“Aren’t I quite cute now?” Murong Chen retorted.
Huo Yichen stood behind Murong Qiao and met Murong Chen’s eyes, who was hugging his Little Sister.
“Looks like I’m not the only one who received a surprise?” Murong Chen teased his Little Sister softly.
No one heard this, but Murong Qiao, who was being teased, blushed. She was still a little embarra.s.sed in front of her Big Brother.
The secretary had already tactfully retreated when the siblings met.
Murong Chen looked up. “Let’s talk business first. We’ll go home later.”
The first sentence was directed at Huo Yichen. It was a little anxious, but the second half was naturally directed at his Little Sister. Even his tone was much gentler.
“There are still a few problems in the project that need to be resolved…” Huo Yichen was not vague.
The two of them sat on both sides of the desk. When they talked about serious matters, the aura around them became much more serious. Murong Qiao was engrossed.
No wonder they said that serious men were very handsome.
Staring at Huo Yichen’s sharp profile, Murong Qiao felt this deeply..
