Chapter 109: Who Is This Inconsiderate Person?
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
It was the first time Huo Yunshen had been to a market and it was a refres.h.i.+ng experience for him. The people there were kind and they had even treated him and Xu Xiyan like a real couple!
Of course, he would like to come again, and often.
Xu Xiyan glanced at him and said helplessly, “Because you’re too handsome. It felt like I was taking advantage of your good looks for some extra veggies.”
In fact, Xu Xiyan didn’t want people to pity them just because Huo Yunshen was in a wheelchair. She didn’t want those sellers to give them free vegetables because they thought she and Huo Yunshen were having a hard time.
She was not there to beg for food; Huo Yunshen, even less so.
Huo Yunshen stared at her for a few seconds, then said softly, “If that’s the case, we should go to the supermarket next time.”
The supermarkets were not as chaotic as the vegetable market, and there wouldn’t be as many gossiping women.
“Well, okay,” Xu Xiyan agreed.
Back at Shengs.h.i.+ Yujing, Xu Xiyan cooked and prepared a table full of dishes. When she was done, Xu Xiyan called Huo Yunshen for dinner.
“Let’s open a bottle of wine and celebrate your successful signing today.”
Huo Yunshen retrieved a bottle of Romanée-Conti from the wine cabinet and uncorked it, pouring each of them a gla.s.s.
The two picked up their wine gla.s.ses and gave a toast. When they were about to take a sip, the doorbell rang.
Huo Yunshen frowned. Who was this inconsiderate person knocking at the door, ruining their pleasant moment together at dinner?
“Someone’s here? Shall I go see who it is?”
Xu Xiyan exchanged looks with Huo Yunshen, then put down her wine gla.s.s and went to the living room to open the door.
Scarcely a moment later she came back in a panic. “Oh no! Your third sister is here! I gotta hide! You go open the door!
“…”
Huo Sanyan is here?
He thought Xu Xiyan might have seen a ghost.
Before Huo Yunshen could open his mouth and say anything, Xu Xiyan was already gone.
After a brief moment, Huo Yunshen reluctantly went over and opened the door, his face as dark as a storm.
“Why are you here again, sis?”
He blocked her pa.s.sage through the door, not wanting her to enter.
Huo Sanyan was carrying a bottle of yogurt drink and a bag of food in her hands.
“What do you mean ‘why am I here again?’ It’s been a long time since I visited you, okay? Brother, don’t you see? I brought so many delicious foods for you! Are you not going to let me in?
“No. Keep the food for yourself.”
Huo Yunshen tried to slam the door shut but Huo Sanyan had stretched out an arm and a leg into the opening. She looked at him sideways through the crack as she strained to keep the door open. “Broo…please…let me in, I have something very important to tell you.”
“Speak!”
“I’ll tell you…if you let me in!”
Huo Yunshen was losing his temper. “What if I won’t?”
Huo Sanyan was adamant. She had nothing to lose. “If you don’t let me in, I’ll just sit here and wait!”
Huo Yunshen badly wanted to tell Huo Sanyan: If this goes on, your brother’s happiness will be destroyed in your own hands? Okay?
He rolled his eyes, “Fine, I’ll go get a chair for you.”
b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Are you really my brother? Huo Sanyan thought.
Huo Yunshen was determined to keep her out, but there was no way she was giving up now.
Huo Sanyan thumped at her chest and stomped her feet as she cried out, “My dear brother, how could you be so heartless to me?
“Is this how you treat your own dear sister? Do you even know what I’m feeling? I feel so cold that my heart is freezing over…Do you remember that when you were still a child, you had a high fever? The fever was so bad that you were delirious! If I hadn’t found you, you would be dead by now! Now you’ve grown up and completely forgotten my kindness! Oh, my dear brother, why do you refuse me so? I might as well take my own life…”
Huo Yunshen was already tired of her. He turned around and said, “Fine, wait here. I’ll bring you a knife.”
“…”
