Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Chuan didn’t expect Feng Xinyao to come over, but when she thought of her close relationship with the Chen family, she wasn’t surprised.
“Thank you, but there’s no need. My clothes today are not very suitable for riding a horse.” Murong Qiao tactfully rejected Feng Xinyao’s invitation.
Her attire today didn’t take into account the riding activity, let alone the fact that it was Feng Xinyao’s invitation. This girl was not a good person.
If not for Third Brother’s reminder. She probably wouldn’t know how Feng Xinyao was scheming against her right now.
“Don’t worry, we have extra clothes here for you to change into. I’ll bring you to change.” Feng Xinyao kindly suggested a solution.
She didn’t seem to notice that Murong Qiao was trying to reject her tactfully. She smiled brightly and looked at her sincerely, as if she wanted to help.
Murong Qiao really couldn’t handle Feng Xinyao’s warm welcome. In the end, she could only nod and agree to change into a riding outfit.
Seeing that Murong Qiao had agreed to change her clothes, Feng Xinyao also revealed a happy expression and followed, as if she was happy that she had another playmate.
Murong Chuan, who was standing at the side, saw everything, especially Feng Xinyao’s warm and persistent hospitality, which made him feel a little frustrated.
Feng Xinyao wasn’t a person with good intentions.
Murong Chuan could tell this. When he saw his Little Sister being pulled away by her, he felt that nothing good would happen. He was a little worried about Murong Qiao’s safety.
Seeing Murong Qiao follow Feng Xinyao to change, Murong Chuan followed her worriedly.
“Big Brother, I’ll go in and change first,” Murong Qiao said before entering.
Murong Chuan didn’t say anything and nodded in response.
Feng Xinyao was standing beside him, making Murong Chuan not want to say a word. The brothers of the Murong Family knew very well what kind of person Feng Xinyao was.
Murong Chuan didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in these infighting, let alone let his Little Sister be hurt.
“Long time no see, Third Brother.” Feng Xinyao didn’t intend to be quiet. She pretended to greet Murong Chuan familiarly, as if the two of them were very close.
Now that Murong Chuan was with her alone, she naturally didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity.
Given their relationship, the term “brother” feels forced, but unfortunately. However, it’s frustrating that whenever Feng Xinyao speaks, it’s treated as a matter of course..
Murong Chuan’s face was cold and he didn’t say anything. His gaze landed on the door where Murong Qiao had disappeared and he didn’t look at her.
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Feng Xinyao felt even more uncomfortable, but she continued to pester him as if she didn’t feel awkward.
“I recently went to Hui University to attend school and have been waiting for your cla.s.ses. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen you once…” Feng Xinyao’s tone was regretful as she looked at Murong Chuan with admiration.
If outsiders saw this scene and saw Feng Xinyao being so enthusiastic about someone, they would think that the two of them had a good relationship.
The two of them were like ice and fire. Feng Xinyao spoke tirelessly, but Murong Chuan didn’t say a word.
After talking for a long time, Feng Xinyao felt that her mouth was about to dry up. Seeing that Murong Chuan was ignoring her, she felt a little indignant.
Was it so difficult for him to take a look at her?
She was about to die of embarra.s.sment, but Murong Chuan didn’t look her in the eye. Even for someone with very thick skin, she felt somewhat awkward.
At this moment, the sound at the entrance attracted Feng Xinyao’s attention.
“Young Master Huo, this is the horse ranch.” The attendant brought Huo Yichen to the horse ranch and left tactfully.
The changing room was very close to the entrance of the ranch. It was close enough for Feng Xinyao to hear the attendant speaking to Huo Yichen.
Feng Xinyao looked at Huo Yichen with a burning gaze.
Feng Xinyao had naturally heard of Huo Yichen’s name and knew that he was the heir of the Huo Family. She just didn’t expect to meet him here today.
Seeing Huo Yichen’s face today made Feng Xinyao’s heart race. She had never seen such a good-looking person before.
Huo Yichen had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His face was handsome and clean. Just by standing there, his cold aura was eye-catching, not to mention his broad shoulders, thin waist, and long legs. His ordinary suit looked like a private high-end suit. His dark eyes made one’s heart race.
Although she was usually surrounded by many promising young men, this was the first time Feng Xinyao had seen someone like Huo Yichen. His sharp eyes and cold temperament made her heart flutter.
This was the person who was worthy of her!
Feng Xinyao immediately began to think about how to leave a good impression on him. Coincidentally, Murong Qiao had also changed her clothes and came out.
“Big Brother, I’m out.” Murong Qiao’s voice came from the door.
The sound of the door being pushed open rang out and Murong Qiao walked out. She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail and was wearing a neatly fitted double-breasted jacket with a diagonal collar. The black fabric was accentuated by white and red lines, highlighting her figure with a slim waistline. The white pants she wore helped to balance the solemnity and gave a sense of elegance. Completing the look were a pair of sleek black boots that added a touch of martial arts heroine to her demeanor.
The scene of Murong Qiao coming out inevitably stunned everyone, and Cheng Jie, who was not far away, saw it as well.
“Young Master Cheng, what are you looking at?” Sensing Cheng Jie’s lack of concentration, Luo Wanbai’s sweet voice sounded.
She asked casually and knew that she wouldn’t get an answer, so she followed Cheng Jie’s stunned gaze and almost couldn’t maintain the smile on her face.
She recognized Murong Qiao at a glance and understood why Cheng Jie couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“Stay here.” Sure enough, in the next second, Cheng Jie tossed her to the side.
The moment he saw Murong Qiao, he couldn’t move away.
Over the years, Cheng Jun had been with numerous women, each one carrying the shadow of Murong Qiao and becoming a subst.i.tute for her. But in that moment of seeing Murong Qiao, Cheng Jun suddenly felt enlightened and finally saw through his own heart.
The girl he wanted all along was Murong Qiao.
Like a th.o.r.n.y rose, her astonishing beauty made her admirers unable to help but want to pluck her and hold her in their palms to savor alone. It made Cheng Jie feel that the more difficult she was to get, the more he liked her.
Cheng Jie walked towards Murong Qiao, and Feng Xinyao also went up to Huo Yichen to greet him.
“I didn’t expect Young Miss Murong to be here too.” Huo Yichen raised his hand to greet her with a smile.
Even his voice was so pleasant. Feng Xinyao thought that Huo Yichen was greeting her. Her face immediately turned red and she was secretly happy. She didn’t expect Huo Yichen to know her.
But right on the heels of that, before Feng Xinyao could put on what she thought was the most beautiful posture, she watched helplessly as Huo Yichen took two steps past her and finally stood still…
In front of Murong Qiao.
In the distance, Cheng Jie, who was about to talk to Murong Qiao, stopped when he saw Huo Yichen beat him to it. His expression was extremely ugly.
“h.e.l.lo, Young Master Huo.” Murong Qiao pretended not to know him and greeted him.
As soon as she came out, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. Then, she saw Feng Xinyao and Cheng Jie, who looked like they had ulterior motives.
“There’s no need to be so distant. Just address me as cla.s.smate.” Huo Yichen smiled docilely, as if he couldn’t see through her bad intentions. However, when he saw Cheng Jie’s aggrieved expression from the corner of his eye, his mood improved a little.
Murong Qiao’s eyebrows twitched. Seeing that Huo Yichen was acting very familiar with her, she felt that he wanted to cause trouble. “Cla.s.smate Huo.”
She had no choice but to follow Huo Yichen’s words. Then, she saw the deep smile in Huo Yichen’s eyes, making Murong Qiao’s ears turn red.
When the two of them interacted, every time she sensed Huo Yichen teasing her, the tips of Murong Qiao’s ears would subconsciously turn red first, then her cheeks would turn pink from embarra.s.sment..
