Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Xiuyuan didn’t expect Huo Ya to know about this contact number.
Kelly didn’t know about this cell phone number. This was a number he had used to contact others while he was hiding overseas. He only ignored the fact that Jiang Weiyang had known about it previously. He didn’t expect her to tell others about it now.
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, but I haven’t received a response.” After confirming that it was Huo Xiuyuan, the grievance in Huo Ya’s tone was instantly revealed.
After all, after Huo Yichen sat in the position of President of the Huo Corporation, Huo Ya had really been worried about Huo Xiuyuan for a long time.
However, the other party had disappeared without a trace. Huo Ya wanted to find him but could not. Therefore, she could only bury this worry deep in her heart and only gradually revealed it today.
Huo Xiuyuan brushed her off casually. “Yes, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
After all, Huo Ya was useless to him, and Huo Xiuyuan didn’t intend to spend his current energy on her.
Moreover, if Kelly discovered that Huo Ya liked him—
At the thought of that possibility, Huo Xiuyuan frowned and killed this development in his mind.
It had been a long time since Huo Ya liked him when they were young, but Huo Xiuyuan had always kept her hanging and didn’t respond.
The two of them had been childhood sweethearts since they were young. However, in order to stabilize his ident.i.ty as the heir, Huo Xiuyuan needed the family to help him. That was why he responded to Huo Ya’s feelings from time to time so that she would continue to pursue him.
However, at this point…
Thinking of the power behind Kelly and her father who could crush him to death with a casual sentence, it was impossible for Huo Xiuyuan to have anything to do with her.
He couldn’t wait to cut ties with the other party.
“Are you very busy? I’m sorry, I didn’t know I was disturbing you.” Huo Ya apologized profusely when she heard Huo Xiuyuan’s words. “Are you still overseas? Dad and I haven’t heard from you.”
“I said—” Seeing that she was still asking him, Huo Xiuyuan frowned impatiently.
His originally good plan was interrupted by Kelly, and Huo Xiuyuan was a little angry. Just as he was about to flare up, Huo Ya suddenly appeared and pestered him to ask about this phone number, making him feel a headache.
Huo Xiuyuan was about to say something to Huo Ya when he glanced into the distance and saw Kelly waving at him.
The other party’s blond hair, blue eyes, and foreign appearance were too conspicuous in the crowd, so he instantly noticed her existence.
“I’m hanging up.” Huo Xiuyuan ended the call this time, not giving Huo Ya any chance to reply.
After turning off the phone, he turned around and welcomed Kelly, who had walked up to him. “I’m sorry for having you come to look for me.”
“The sun is so hot. Let’s find a place to rest first so that you won’t get sunburnt.” He smiled and instantly returned to his usual considerate appearance. There was no sign of the anger that was about to flare up on his face just now.
Kelly looked at him curiously. “Were you on the phone just now? With whom?”
“She’s just a company a.s.sistant. Don’t worry about it.” Huo Xiuyuan smiled, as if he wanted to forget about this matter.
However, he knew Kelly’s temper very well, so after Huo Xiuyuan finished speaking, he took the initiative to take out his phone to unlock it and even handed it to her.
Everything had happened so suddenly that Huo Xiuyuan couldn’t delete the call record Huo Ya had just made.
In other words, if Kelly really wanted to see it, everything he had just done would have become a lie.
“Take a look if you want.”
Seeing him like this, Kelly lost her curiosity. She shook her head and pushed the phone back without seeing the screen.
“Of course I believe you. How about we go to the side and buy an ice cream first? When I came, I saw a store with a long line. It might be delicious.”
Kelly thought of the way she had come just now and pulled him over.
If Kelly had really chosen to take another look at the phone screen just now, she would have realized that the most recent call was from an unfamiliar number and not Huo Xiuyuan’s so-called a.s.sistant.
Unfortunately, Huo Xiuyuan’s initiative had deceived Kelly, so she didn’t think too much about it.
It could only be said that it was not advisable to trust someone too much.
Kelly pulled Huo Xiuyuan behind her and pointed in the direction she had just come from. She didn’t notice that Huo Xiuyuan had taken out his phone the moment she turned around. With one hand, he skillfully deleted the record of the call from Huo Ya. Then, he put his phone into his pocket with a calm expression before following Kelly.
Ye Zhen sat at the side and took in these scenes one by one. Then, he gathered them into information and reported them to his President.
He originally wanted to come and see what the board of directors and Huo Xiuyuan were up to. He didn’t expect to be pleasantly surprised.
Thinking of the girl Huo Xiuyuan had indulged in just now, Ye Zhen sent the photos he had taken on his phone to the President.
At that moment, Huo Yichen had just arrived home with Murong Qiao and was preparing dinner.
It was rare for them to reach home early, so the two of them were much more relaxed this time.
The kitchen had become Huo Yichen’s territory, and Murong Qiao was delegated to sitting in the living room and eating the fruits Huo Yichen had just washed for her very leisurely.
The phone on the coffee table vibrated slightly. Murong Qiao glanced at it and called out to him.
“Ah Chen! Your phone is ringing.”
Huo Yichen’s voice came from the kitchen. “Open it and take a look.”
“My hands are a little dirty—” Murong Qiao looked at herself. Her fingertips had turned pink from eating the dragon fruit just now.
Huo Yichen, who originally had no intention of coming out, went to the side and brought back a pack of wet wipes when he heard this. He sat beside Murong Qiao and helped wipe her hands clean, as well as tidy up the fruit platter that was a little messy because of Murong Qiao.
After wiping it, Huo Yichen reached out to look at the message from his cell phone.
Ye Zhen’s summary report was short and effective. The key information could be obtained at a glance.
After Huo Yichen saw the photo, he first noticed the meeting between the other party and Xu Dong. Then, he realized that there was a photo of a blonde girl behind it.
He had no impression of the blonde girl, but when he saw Huo Xiuyuan find Xu Dong as soon as he came out, several possibilities immediately surfaced in Huo Yichen’s mind, as well as the movements of the two of them after they joined forces.
“Is it about the company?” Murong Qiao noticed his subconscious frown again.
She didn’t want to see Huo Yichen depressed because of these things at such a young age, even though Huo Yichen was very handsome no matter what.
Huo Yichen nodded and admitted, “Sort of. Don’t worry too much.”
“By the way, I’m going home with An Nuo tomorrow. I won’t be able to come back for sure.” Murong Qiao suddenly remembered what had happened between her and An Nuo and told Huo Yichen.
She had indeed not returned to the Murong Residence for a long time. It was just that she had been worried about her Third Brother’s injuries recently, so she couldn’t help but go back tomorrow.
“I wonder how Third Brother is doing at home. I’ll go back and take a look.” Murong Qiao thought of her Third Brother, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Although Murong Zheng said that it was nothing serious, even after a period of time, the scene of Murong Chuan being injured was still vivid in Murong Qiao’s mind, making her tremble with fear..
