Chapter 211: Holding A Banquet To Meet Her Lover


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Seeing that it was from Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao didn’t need to think to know why.


Today, the news that Fourth Brother threw the trophy to her had spread like wildfire on the Internet to the point Murong Qiao’s Weibo was almost bombarded.


She picked up the call and started to explain before the other party could say anything.


“It’s all nonsense on the Internet. The person who threw the trophy to me was my Fourth Brother.” Murong Qiao spoke quickly. “I was only there to attend the Fashion Week..”


After she finished speaking, she realized that there was no sound coming from the other end of the cell phone. Hence, she immediately felt uneasy and asked.


“Huo Yichen?” Murong Qiao called out softly. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”


After she finished speaking, the other party did not immediately reply and Murong Qiao felt a little uncertain.


Huo Yichen only hummed in response.


Hearing Murong Qiao’s anxious clarification of the misunderstanding, the discomfort in Huo Yichen’s heart disappeared.


“Nothing much.” Huo Yichen’s voice was a little low, but it sounded light. “It’s just that I haven’t heard your voice in a long time.”


“I’ve missed you,” he said.


In the past few days spent in the Huo family, Huo Yichen had always been tense and didn’t dare to relax. The pressure was like a huge rock pressing on his heart and he could only catch his breath when he was on the phone with Murong Qiao.


The magnetic voice pa.s.sed through the line and entered Murong Qiao’s ears like a spark igniting wisps of heat, making Murong Qiao’s face turn red.


“I miss you too,” Murong Qiao replied softly.


This was the first time she had said something so straightforward. She even hid in her room and whispered to Huo Yichen so softly that he almost couldn’t hear her.


It was true that she was shy, and it was also true that she missed him. It hadn’t been long since the winter break, but Murong Qiao had already started to miss the time when they went to school together.


Huo Yichen’s low laughter came from the phone and his slightly hoa.r.s.e voice hooked Murong Qiao’s heart like a cat’s paw.


When he heard Murong Qiao’s words, he could imagine her blushing, which made him want to see her more.


“I’m sorry I can’t be with you now, Qiaoqiao.” Huo Yichen softened his voice.


At this moment, Huo Yichen softened. He was totally different from when he was in the Huo family, like ice melting into clear water.


Their feelings for each other were strong. With just a few words, they warmed up a lot.


“I usually take good care of myself. You don’t have to worry about me.” Murong Qiao’s voice softened unconsciously.


“Two days ago, I found a pair of siblings with good qualities and they’ve both signed with my company. The filming of Wulin Universe is also about to begin…” Murong Qiao’s thoughts raced.


She also knew that Huo Yichen was very busy, so she rarely took the initiative to call him to disturb him. However, it was rare for Huo Yichen to take the initiative to talk to her today and hence, Murong Qiao couldn’t hold back her words and said whatever was on her mind.


Murong Qiao talked about many interesting things that she had been holding back.


Huo Yichen was also considerate enough not to interrupt her. He listened to Murong Qiao’s recent life in silence. Even if he wasn’t by her side, it was as if he had experienced these things with Murong Qiao.


The desire to share your experience with your lover was the highest level of romance.


“The way Shi Yang hugged the piglet when he was practicing was actually a little funny…” Murong Qiao’s mouth was dry in the end.


The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became. It was obvious that she was in trouble.


However, Huo Yichen noticed her slightly hoa.r.s.e voice and stopped the conversation.


“Qiaoqiao, I’m going to get busy,” he said deliberately.


But in fact, it was because Murong Qiao had been talking for too long. Huo Yichen was afraid that her throat would feel uncomfortable the next day.


As for whether he was busy or not, Huo Yichen had already completely ignored the servant who came to urge him a second time.


“Alright then.” Murong Qiao said goodbye reluctantly.


“Yes.” Huo Yichen laughed. “I’m glad to hear you telling me so much. Remember to drink some water later.”


He also wanted to share his life with Murong Qiao, but his days in the Huo family were almost the same every day, and most of them were not good, so Huo Yichen naturally didn’t want Murong Qiao to know how depressing his life was.


The call lasted for more than ten minutes before it was finally ended by the two parties. Murong Qiao stared at the black screen of the phone and her happy mood was mixed with a little sadness.


She wondered how long it would be before she could see Huo Yichen again.


Murong Qiao pursed her lips and wanted to sigh. She then sat on the bed for a while and waited for the faint blush on her face to subside before planning to go out.


When she walked to the door and placed her hand on the door handle, an inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in her heart.


If she couldn’t see him, why couldn’t she create an opportunity?


“Brother!”


Murong Chen, who was still eating, turned around when he heard the voice. He saw his Little Sister running down the stairs with sparkling eyes.


“Slow down. Don’t fall.” Murong Chen quickly got up when he saw her running so fast.


At this moment, only Murong Chen was downstairs as Fourth Brother Yan Xiu had finished eating and returned to his room.


Murong Qiao pounced on Murong Chen and suggested the idea she had just thought of.


“I want to hold a banquet!” That was what she thought.


Ever since she returned to the Murong family, she had never taken the initiative to hold a banquet or appear in the upper-cla.s.s society. This had always made others very curious about this Young Miss Murong.


In the past, Murong Qiao had never thought of this because she found it troublesome, but she had just finished a call with Huo Yichen when she thought of this.


He could invite the younger generation of the other families to the banquet. Huo Yichen was the heir of the Huo family, so he should come to attend no matter what.


Moreover, this way, she wouldn’t have to avoid her Big Brother and would have a suitable reason to meet Huo Yichen. It was simply the best of both worlds!


“Of course, it’s fine if you want to do it.” Murong Chen did not doubt it.


He had wanted to do it when Murong Qiao first came home, but he had been worried about Murong Qiao’s own thoughts.


Of course, it was better for her to take the initiative to ask now and thus, Murong Chen naturally raised both hands in agreement.


Hence, they settled the matter without much discussion. Murong Qiao didn’t need to worry about the banquet herself as Big Brother Murong Chen and Uncle Yang would be in charge of the banquet.


The news that the Murong Family was about to hold a banquet spread to everyone’s ears faster than the wind. Especially when they heard that it was organized by Young Miss Murong, they became even more interested.


It was rare for the Murong family to hold a banquet, so everyone naturally wanted to attend. Those who were invited would feel honored.


In addition, Murong Qiao was the organizer, so many upper-cla.s.s families had their guesses. They wondered if she was going to choose her husband for this banquet.


Because the banquet needed time to prepare, Murong Qiao also helped in the planning, so she couldn’t reply to Zheng Yue’s message in time.


Seeing that Murong Qiao had been a little cold these few days, Zheng Yue could not figure out what she was doing.


“Maybe she’s very busy…” Zheng Yue sighed.


Murong Qiao was a young heiress. She might be at afternoon tea or attending some upper-cla.s.s banquet. At the thought of such a luxurious and relaxed scene, Zheng Yue immediately felt a trace of envy.


Every time she thought of Murong Qiao, Zheng Yue couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous..
