Chapter 780: Limited Gentleness
Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking of the changes in Huo Yichen’s company previously, although the other party had not mentioned it recently, Murong Qiao was always a little worried sometimes.
Huo Yichen was not the kind of person who would talk about his worries.
After thinking about it, Murong Qiao decided to make a trip to the Huo Corporation.
She was extremely familiar with the way to the Huo Corporation. The security officers and front desk all recognized her. Murong Qiao took the elevator up.
However, the first person she saw after walking out of the elevator was not
Huo Yichen, but a man who looked a little old.
“h.e.l.lo, Young Miss Murong.” The other party seemed to know her and greeted her.
Murong Qiao’s gaze landed on the other party’s obviously unfamiliar face and she only nodded in response.
Her intuition told her that this person was not showing her kindness. It was more like she was something intriguing.
Xu Dong, who was standing in front of Murong Qiao, didn’t care about this person’s coldness towards him.
Huo Yichen, who had just come out of the conference room, saw Xu Dong standing in front of Murong Qiao. Because his back was facing him, he couldn’t see the other party’s expression clearly.
Ye Zhen, who was following Huo Yichen, looked up and saw his President s expression turn cold. Then, he strode in a direction.
Seeing Huo Yichen appear behind Xu Dong, Murong Qiao’s first reaction was to look at him. Then, she opened her arms and threw herself into his arms.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming here?” Huo Yichen looked down at her.
Murong Qiao chuckled. “It’s probably… a surprise inspection?” However, the targets of surprise inspections were usually the boyfriends. At most, she was too worried.
On the other hand, Xu Dong, who was standing at the side just now, had already left by the time Murong Qiao finished speaking.
Huo Yichen sensed her gaze and glanced at the spot where Xu Dong was standing just now. He didn’t say anything. Instead, he let go of her arms and held her hand as they walked towards the office.
After the two of them left, the quiet secretary’s area erupted again.
Like a pot of boiling water, everyone turned into rising bubbles and exploded after seeing their President pull Madam into the office.
“I’ve never seen the President being so gentle before. Indeed, only Madam can enjoy this limited edition gentleness.”
“I’m so envious. When can I have such love—”
“Wake up. Society animals don’t get to enjoy beautiful love.
No matter what the discussion outside was, Murong Qiao couldn’t hear it through the door.
“That person just now didn’t give me a good feeling.” Murong Qiao recalled the
Xu Dong she had seen and mentioned it casually.
Huo Yichen nodded, admitting that she was right. “He’s someone experienced from the board of directors. He can be considered an opponent.”
“He caused trouble for you?” Murong Qiao stretched out her fingertips to hook his palm. She sat beside Huo Yichen and watched as the other party was distracted by the doc.u.ments.
“You haven’t told me any of this—”
She dragged her voice slightly, like she was complaining.
However, Huo Yichen only sighed indulgently and reached out to cover Murong Qiao’s palm. As he warmed the other party’s hand, he explained softly.
“Talking about good news is called sharing. Bad news will only add to the worry, so there’s no need to say it.”
He only hoped that Murong Qiao would be happier and not worry about him. “I can take care of these myself. There’s no need for you to worry with me.” Huo Yichen was not saying this casually.
He had already unknowingly grasped a portion of evidence against Xu Dong.
“Oh you only talk about the good things.”
It was unknown if that sentence had poked Murong Qiao’s funny spot, but she couldn’t help but laugh.
Huo Yichen’s matter-of-fact expression made this seriousness even more solemn.
“Alright, as long as you’re fine.” Murong Qiao patted his shoulder.
She tilted her body and lay on Huo Yichen’s thigh, looking up at him.
It was clearly a death angle, but she had to admit that Huo Yichen’s face was really flawless from any angle.
As she looked, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but close her eyes.
She had been too tired recently, so much so that it was rare for her to relax. Sleepiness surged up uncontrollably.
Seeing that Murong Qiao was asleep, Huo Yichen softened the sound caused by his movements and gently removed the doc.u.ment. Then, he took his coat from the side and draped it over Murong Qiao to prevent her from catching a cold.
Perhaps because she sensed Huo Yichen’s scent on the coat, Murong Qiao’s breathing, which had just lightened, completely calmed down and she fell into a deep sleep.
The sky outside the window seemed to follow suit. Even the clouds slowed down, like a silent oil painting with comfortable colors.
After meeting Murong Qiao, Xu Dong turned around and took the elevator out of the company.
Huo Xiuyuan sat in the back of a black car and parked by the roadside. From time to time, he would look at the entrance of the Huo Corporation, as if he was waiting for someone.
Kelly sat beside him. It was rare that she didn’t make a fuss. She was probably a little tired from playing for the past few days. At this moment, she was looking at her cell phone and talking to someone.
About a minute later, Huo Xiuyuan saw Xu Dong appear at the door and patted Kelly’s arm gently.
“I’m leaving. I can’t send you back today,” Huo Xiuyuan said softly. Kelly nodded in boredom. She had long known about the other party’s arrangements today. However, seeing that the other party opened the car door and left without hesitation after saying that, Kelly swallowed the words she wanted to say.
She felt that ever since Huo Xiuyuan returned to the country, he didn’t seem to be as enthusiastic about her as before.
Kelly stared at his back in confusion as she thought about this question. However, while a brief doubt rose in her heart, she dismissed it.
“How is that possible?” Kelly seemed to be answering her own question. Thinking of how Huo Xiuyuan had already agreed to marry her when they returned, Kelly couldn’t help but smile foolishly.
She turned around and picked up her phone to ask the person on the other end of the line.
[What do you think about holding two weddings?]
[I’ve seen a Chinese-style wedding and think it’s very beautiful. I want to hold one too. Daddy, come and attend too, okay?]
Kelly sent a message to her father, but the other party was always busy, so he didn’t answer immediately.
Fortunately, Kelly and the other party had already adapted to this form of interaction over the past few years, so she was very happy.
Perhaps she should ask Huo Xiuyuan for his opinion. It was too arbitrary for her to decide alone.
Kelly belatedly thought in frustration and recorded this matter in her memo. She had already begun to plan the various styles of the wedding. Was it because Huo Xiuyuan had no intention of returning to the country with her? After walking out of the car, his heart was filled with his conversation with Xu Dong. The two of them had arranged to meet today, but Kelly had been pestering him, so he had no choice but to change the venue to the entrance of the company.
He walked along the road and met Xu Dong’s gaze from afar. Then, the two of them nodded silently. It could be considered a greeting. Xiuyuan saw Xu Dong sitting in the car beside him. He was already prepared to wait there..
