Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing that Nan Hao was here for Murong Qiao, Huo Yichen looked at the people around him.
“With me by your side, you don’t have to be afraid.” Huo Yichen whispered in Murong Qiao’s ear to rea.s.sure her.
It was obvious that Nan Hao wouldn’t be dismissed easily today.
Murong Qiao’s vexed mood strangely improved after hearing his words. Perhaps it was really because she was at ease. She glanced at Nan Hao and nodded after thinking for a moment.
“Let’s talk somewhere else.” With Huo Yichen by her side, Murong Qiao was not afraid of Nan Hao’s tricks.
Nan Hao naturally had no objections. After hearing Murong Qiao’s agreement, he even heaved a sigh of relief and took the lead.
The three of them left the dormitory building and gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.
They left just like that?
Many people had the same thought.
Where is the confession? Where is the romantic scene?
They thought that they would witness the birth of love, but they did not expect two boys and a girl to be involved. Before they could figure out the story, they saw that the three of them had already disappeared.
No matter what gossip was going on in the dormitory building, Nan Hao, Murong Qiao, and Huo Yichen found a relatively quiet place. There was no one here.
Seeing that Nan Hao had stopped, Murong Qiao stood in front of him and waited for him to speak.
Nan Hao looked at Huo Yichen, who was standing behind Murong Qiao, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.
“I’ll wait for you there.” Huo Yichen didn’t insist on staying. After telling Murong Qiao where he would be, he turned around and left.
After Huo Yichen left, Nan Hao looked at Murong Qiao.
“You’ve been doing well recently.” Nan Hao naturally couldn’t immediately say that he wanted Murong Qiao to help his family. He only looked at Murong Qiao’s state and said.
Murong Qiao seemed to be living better after leaving the Nan family. Nan Hao had to admit this.
“If that’s all you want to say, then forgive me for not staying here to chat with you.” Murong Qiao was even more impatient when she saw Nan Hao beating around the bush.
She was about to leave when Nan Hao finally revealed his true motive.
“Recently, the family’s business hasn’t been very good. After all, you were once a member of the Nan family. Say a few words to President Murong,” Nan Hao said bluntly. “Help the Nan family tide over the difficulties.”
Nan Hao’s meaning was very clear. Murong Qiao also understood the other party’s intentions.
However, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but find it funny when she heard the other party say that. At the same time, she was angry that the other party didn’t forget to make use of her.
Nan Hao seemed to be relieved after saying this. In his opinion, how could Nan Qiao not help her father?
Unfortunately, the person before him now was Murong Qiao, not Nan Qiao. “Why do 1 remember something else?” Murong Qiao looked at Nan Hao meaningfully and said slowly, “Didn’t Nan Kang say that he wouldn’t take the Murong family’s help even if he was going to die?”
As soon as she said this, Murong Qiao seemed to have broken some kind of restriction in herself.
“Where’s Nan Kang’s tough temper? Did he forget how he treated our mother and our maternal grandfather?” Murong Qiao stood there without moving, but her words became more and more aggressive.
Nan Hao was stunned by these words. He stood there and looked at Murong Qiao, who seemed to have become a different person. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Seeing that Nan Hao was at a loss, Murong Qiao snorted.
“And you.” Murong Qiao turned to Nan Hao. “Didn’t you say that you won’t want to see me ever again?”
Murong Qiao’s words were like ruthless slaps to Nan Hao’s face, making his expression turn ugly.
Nan Hao had indeed said these words himself. Because he disliked Murong Qiao, Nan Hao didn’t want to come over to look for her at all.
Hearing Murong Qiao’s words, Nan Hao clenched his fists and wanted to run, but Nan Kang’s order seemed to have taken root under his feet, making Nan Hao unable to move.
“Now that you’re standing here and taking the initiative to look for me and ask for my help—” Murong Qiao’s words became heavier. “Don’t you feel very embarra.s.sed?”
In Murong Qiao’s opinion, Nan Hao’s behavior was simply ridiculous.
He was standing here now, making his former self look like a joke.
“Enough!” Finally, Nan Hao spoke, his expression extremely embarra.s.sed.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to help, but you don’t have to mock me like this!” Nan Hao, who was provoked by Murong Qiao’s words, finally couldn’t stand Murong Qiao’s verbal attacks and the double torture in his heart.
After saying that, he didn’t say anything else and walked past Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao snorted coldly as she watched Nan Hao leave in a hurry.
After Nan Hao left, Huo Yichen walked over and looked at Murong Qiao worriedly, only to find that the other party’s mood didn’t seem to be as bad as he had imagined.
“I’m not upset,” Murong Qiao said when she saw that Huo Yichen was worried.
She was no longer the Nan Qiao of the past.
“It’s just that when I see that they are still having designs on me, I can’t help but feel unhappy.” Murong Qiao told the truth. She had grown up a lot, but when she saw the Nan family, her mood subconsciously worsened.
However, after finally chasing Nan Hao away, Murong Qiao could return to the dormitory.
“Alright, I’ll send you back.” Seeing that Murong Qiao was not sad anymore, Huo Yichen smiled and walked with her towards the dormitory.
On their way back to the dormitory, they happened to pa.s.s by Hui University’s field. The two of them walked slowly on the lawn.
The two of them seemed to have an unspoken mutual understanding as they walked side by side without speaking.
A light breeze blew and the orange clouds scattered in the sky one after another. With the cover of the trees by the roadside, the sunlight was divided into wisps, allowing people to see the dust dancing in the air.
The cool wind carried away the heat of autumn. Their two shadows, one high and one low, were reflected in front of them. They intertwined with each other as they walked, looking exceptionally harmonious.
Murong Qiao didn’t say anything as her gaze landed on their intertwined shadows.
“Qiaoqiao, I meant what I said this morning.” Huo Yichen turned to look at Murong Qiao.
“I like you.” He suddenly stopped. “I’m not joking. I’m also not lying. Those are all from my heart.”
Murong Qiao stopped in her tracks at a loss. She looked at Huo Yichen’s serious eyes in a daze. The heat on her face gradually rose, and her heart seemed to beat faster.
Huo Yichen didn’t look like he was faking it, but Murong Qiao recalled the scene of her being chased away by the other party.
She slowly stepped back and distanced herself from Huo Yichen, allowing her scattered rationality to return. However, the heat on her face seemed to be unable to subside.
The sadness that surged up could not be dispelled for a moment, but the feeling of her heart beating a few beats faster still lingered. Murong Qiao looked away from Huo Yichen’s eyes.
“I’ll go back first.” The two emotions intertwined, causing Murong Qiao to be in a rare mess and she could only hurriedly leave after saying this.
Only Huo Yichen was left standing there, watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance.
The image of the two of them taking a walk together was quickly captured by the other students on the field and posted on the forum.
Ever since Huo Yichen’s shocking words in cla.s.s, almost all the students of Hui University knew of the existence of Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen.
Now that they saw the two of them standing together again and the atmosphere seemed very ambiguous, they immediately took a photo.
Seeing that there was more dog food to eat, everyone on the forum discussed whether Huo Yunshen had successfully wooed her.
The students paid more attention to the progress of their relationship than Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen did. They couldn’t wait to know how far they had progressed..
