Chapter 150 - 150: Get Huo Chengyu To Come Down And Apologize To My Snacks
Huo Chengyu looked at Huo Qingyuan.
Huo Qingyuan quickly shook her head to clarify. "No, no, it"s not me. It"s Second Sister-in-law. She likes snacking whenever she"s watching television dramas. These are all for her."
"Second Sister-in-law?"
"That detestable wife of Xishen"s?"
Huo Chengyu looked around and asked, "Where"s your second sister-in-law?"
"Second Sister-in-law must be sleeping at this hour. Big Brother, why didn"t Sister-in-law return with you? I miss the food she cooks."
At the mention of his wife, Huo Chengyu frowned and said, "I don"t know. Tell the servants to put all these snacks and tidbits away."
Huo Qingyuan shook her head vigorously.
Unsure of the reason for her reaction, Huo Chengyu glanced at Huo Qingyuan and the maids.
They were all feigning ignorance.
"Qingyuan, what"s going on?"
"Big brother, I"m really, really sincerely reminding you that Second Sister-in-law"s things should never be touched. If she"s angered, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Oh?"
Huo Chengyu was immediately interested. "Since when did my timid sister-in-law who always has an insignificant presence become so ferocious?"
"What about those stuffed toys?"
Huo Chengyu pointed to the rows of stuffed animals on the TV cabinet.
"Second Sister-in-law said that our home looks too empty, so she decided to add some cute little stuffed toys to make it look more warm and homely."
"Second Sister-in-law again..."
All of a sudden, Huo Chengyu glanced at one of the display shelves and asked, "Where is my golden skull?"
"Big Brother, Second Sister-in-law said that thing looks bizarre and scary. She doesn"t want the girls at home to be scared, so she got Uncle Zhang to put it away in your room."
Huo Chengyu pushed the frame of his gla.s.ses up with a hint of playfulness on his face.
"This sister-in-law seems really nosy."
"Put those snacks away, they"re unhealthy," Huo Chengyu instructed before heading upstairs.
Recently, Yan Jinyi had been smitten with a hunk from Thailand and finished watching a cheesy and cliché drama that revolved around a handsome CEO. She only went to bed at 4 am.
The sun was already shining bright when she woke up. She slowly got out of bed and washed up before heading downstairs in her slippers. "Huo Qingyuan, open a bag of chips for me. I want the pumpkin-flavored one."
Holding the book, Huo Qingyuan"s hand trembled and she said, "Second Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Shall we have Western food for lunch?"
Yan Jinyi had already walked towards the sofa and sat down. When she saw the empty coffee table, she frowned and turned around to look at the cabinet behind her. "Where are my snacks?"
"Big Brother is back."
Yan Jinyi looked at Huo Qingyuan and stayed silent.
"Big Brother is very similar to Second Brother in certain aspects. They don"t like mess and clutter at home."
After a moment, Yan Jinyi finally asked, "So? What does it have to do with me?"
"…"
"Second Sister-in-law, let"s put the snacks in the wine cellar, there is still a wall of shelves in the wine cellar that are empty!"
Yan Jinyi came to a sudden realization. "Did he take away my snacks?"
"d.a.m.n it."
"Where is he?"
"What?"
"What"s your big brother"s name again?"
Huo Qingyuan stammered a little. "Huo-Huo Chengyu."
"Where is Huo Chengyu?"
"He"s upstairs."
Yan Jinyi slapped her palm on the table and exclaimed, "Go get Huo Chengyu to come down and apologize for my snacks!"
"Second Sister-in-law, are you serious?"
"Big brother is not Third Brother, he"s very powerful!"
"Big Brother is not only good at fighting, but he"s also a medical professor. He can easily give you trouble!"
"Why? Do you miss Huo Zihang"s feather duster?"
"Second Sister-in-law, the snacks really haven"t been thrown away. Uncle Zhang placed all of them in the underground cellar."
Pulling a long face, Yan Jinyi said, "Put them back where they used to be."
