On the other side of the ambiguous flower wall, the two of them hugged each other tightly. Under the cover of the night and the commotion of the banquet in the distance, their figures were covered by the moonlight, making them look especially intimate.
Jiang Weiyang was still sitting on the other end, feeling angry. Little did she know that she was less than five steps away from finding her target.
“Huo Yichen!” Murong Qiao called his full name angrily.
Huo Yichen grunted in response, but he didn’t stop pinning the other party’s hands behind her back. Then, he planted dense kisses behind her cheeks and ears.
He really missed her too much and felt that he had to cherish even this second. However, it was a pity that the gown she was wearing today couldn’t leave any traces. He could only kiss some secret places and restrain his possessiveness.
He gently stretched out his fingertips to touch this softness.
Huo Yichen buried his head in her neck and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “…I can’t
wait anymore, Qiaoqiao.”
He couldn’t wait to be intimate with her. He couldn’t wait to live with her. He couldn’t wait to put their names together and truly have her.
However, Huo Yichen was still rational and knew that he should follow the plan.
in any case, most of the plan had already been carried out. The remaining part was only for a better future.
The melodious music that suddenly came from the banquet symbolized the beginning of the second half and reminded Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
They didn’t have much time left.
“My brother and your father might be done talking. Should we go back? Or stay
a little longer?” Murong Qiao asked him.
When she spoke, she had to tiptoe and whisper, afraid that someone nearby would discover their existence. However, this action was cute, and Huo Yichen couldn’t help but smile and kiss her again.
Huo Yichen reached out to help her tidy up her clothes and smoothen out the mess he had made just now.
“Let’s go back. Otherwise, your brother will probably kill me,” he joked. Moreover, if he didn’t go back now, Huo Hong would become suspicious. In Huo Hong’s eyes, his son’s relationship with Murong Qiao was not that good. Murong Qiao nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble Young Master Huo to lead the way?”
Her words and tone had returned to how they were at the banquet just now.
She was really able to switch freely.
The relationship between the two of them became much more distant from these words. Huo Yichen also curled his lips into a polite smile.
When the two of them returned to the banquet, just as they had said before, Huo Hong and Murong Chen had already returned to the venue. From afar, the two of them seemed to be chatting happily.
‘■Big Brother, I’m back.” Murong Qiao held Murong Chen’s arm and greeted him sweetly.
Murong Chen’s attention turned to her. After glancing at his Little Sister’s usual expression and not noticing anything wrong, he nodded slowly and glanced at Huo Yichen beside him.
Murong Chen was habitually concerned about her. “Did you have fun?”
“…Yes,” Murong Qiao replied half a beat later.
It was not intentional. It was Big Brother’s words that reminded her of how
“exciting” the situation was just now.
Huo Hong was very happy. “It’s good that you’re having fun. I’m afraid that my son is very quiet—”
He patted Huo Yichen’s shoulder. It looked like the two of them were very close father and son.
Other than Big Brother Murong Chen, who was calm and serious, the other three really had some potential as actors.
“There might not be much fun in the Huo Family. I’ll get him to bring you out to shop another day,” Huo Hong said with a smile.
From the moment Murong Qiao appeared, Huo Hong’s topic had blatantly landed on Murong Qiao.
Everyone could tell what he meant. Murong Qiao was wondering why she felt that Huo Hong’s att.i.tude towards her was suddenly better and kinder. Then, she received her Big Brother’s calm gaze.
Huo Hong’s att.i.tude towards Murong Qiao was naturally different. After the conversation in the study, in his opinion, Murong Qiao was equivalent to half a daughter-in-law of the Huo Family, so the situation was naturally different. Murong Chen didn’t want to hear Huo Hong talk about his Little Sister, so he deliberately looked around and mentioned the other “Young Master Huo . -I remember that Huo Xiuyuan seems to have also been nurtured by you. Why don’t I see him?” He seemed to mention it casually.
He did not say the word “son”. Many people knew about Huo Xiuyuan’s existence, but they also knew that Huo Hong didn’t really take him in as a son, so he used the word “nurture”.
At the mention of Huo Xiuyuan, Huo Hong’s face stiffened for a moment. “That useless thing is not even half as capable as Huo Yichen. There’s no need to care about him.”
Huo Hong didn’t think about it at first, but when Murong Chen mentioned it, he remembered that he had not seen Huo Xiuyuan at the banquet.
Moreover, Huo Yichen was standing here. It was as if he was comparing the two of them in front of Huo Hong, making Huo Xiuyuan look even worse.
Huo Hong was displeased, but it was not good to show it on such an occasion. He felt that Huo Xiuyuan was becoming less and less outstanding. If he had to say something, the only advantage he had was his obedience.
The butler walked over and leaned over to whisper into Huo Hong’s ear.
“…Alright, I understand.” Huo Hong nodded.
Huo Hong turned to look at Murong Chen. “Sorry, an old friend is here too. Excuse me.”
This banquet was not only to “connect” with the Murong Family. It could be said that Huo Hong valued the opportunity to talk to Murong Chen alone more. With Huo Hong’s departure, many people who were eyeing them covetously rushed forward. They were all here for the three of them.
Murong Qiao’s plan to escape was foiled by this scene. She could only stand beside her Big Brother with a smile and answer the person from time to time.
Nan Hao saw this scene.
He had just finished serving a gla.s.s of wine and was about to go to the kitchen to replenish it but he couldn’t help but take a second look when he pa.s.sed by. The gown was gorgeous and the lights were dazzling. Murong Qiao, who was standing in the crowd, was even wearing a small crown on her head.
Like a princess.
And he was a waiter.
Such a description appeared in Nan Hao’s heart, and he felt an indescribable emptiness and loneliness.
He pursed his lips and stopped in his tracks. He stared at his glowing sister and suddenly forgot about the work he originally wanted to do. He took out his phone and secretly took a photo of Murong Qiao.
Before the Nan family declined, Nan Hao had learned a little about photography, so the photos he took were still very good.
His slender and beautiful sister was so beautiful that she didn’t look like a real person Even if she only existed in the form of a photo on the cell phone, she was still so precious that Nan Hao couldn’t bear to touch her. He only stared at her seriously.
This photo was also sent to Nan Xuan and Nan Jin by Nan Hao.
But now that it was late at night, the sky was covered in darkness. Nan Xuan and Nan Jin were lying at the table and working overtime.
The life of a social animal couldn’t be too good. Now that it had returned to being ordinary, without Nan Kang, Nan Xuan became even more motivated and calculated his future.
He no longer needed to work so many jobs, so he simply kept his main job and planned to work harder. In the end, he would be promoted this year and earn more money.
When his cell phone beeped, Nan Xuan was still in a daze. After slowly reading a line of words, he realized that this was a special notification for Nan Hao. Because of the hospital surgery and Nan Kang’s two episodes, Nan Xuan set different ringtones for Nan Xuan and Nan Jin, afraid that some would be ignored while he was immersed in his work.
“He’s still awake…” Nan Xuan muttered.
He picked up his phone, thinking that something had happened again. However, after unlocking the screen, he saw a picture lying in the chat box. Nan Xuan recognized it at a glance. It was Murong Qiao..
