Chapter 226 - They"re All Actors
At the same time, Huo Siyu and Huo Xuan arrived in the capital.
Qin Hao went to pick them up personally.
After walking out of the airport and seeing Qin Hao"s car, Huo Xuan ignored it. He grabbed Huo Siyu"s wrist and walked towards the car that the Huo Family branch had prepared for him.
Qin Hao just looked at them, or rather, at Huo Siyu without saying a word.
He had a straight face and looked proper and honest.
Huo Siyu couldn"t bear to see Qin Hao like this. "Brother."
Huo Xuan was forced to stop, "What?"
.
"Qin Hao specially rushed to the airport from the army to pick me up. Even if I don"t take his car, I should greet him first."
Huo Xuan didn"t respond.
"Brother, you can"t bully him just because he"s honest and quiet."
Huo Xuan sneered. It was true that he spoke little, but honest?
Forgive his poor eyesight!
He couldn"t tell!
How could an honest person deceive his sister into cohabiting? He had clearly bought an apartment for his sister near the Imperial Capital University, but his sister was unwilling to stay there!
Would an honest person make such a name in the army?
Would an honest person be close to Yin Jiujin?
To think that he still felt that his sister"s past was not simple. She was so easily deceived. She was clearly very innocent.
No, he had to watch her more!
He couldn"t let his sister be deceived by Qin Hao, this fake person!
However, he still let go of Huo Siyu"s hand.
Seeing Huo Siyu running towards Qin Hao"s car, Huo Xuan felt very upset.
His sister was about to become someone else"s before he could even get her to warm up to them.
Huo Siyu leaned against the window of Qin Hao"s driver"s seat and asked with a smile, "Qin Hao, why are you here? Didn"t I say that I"m with Brother and you don"t have to pick me up?"
"I"m on leave today."
"Aren"t you going back tonight?" Qin Hao asked naturally, as if that villa had long been their home.
"No, I"m staying at the apartment Brother bought tonight. It"s the apartment near the school. I brought you there last time."
"How long will you stay in the capital?"
"We"ll be in the capital before the new year."
However, Qin Hao acted like he was asking casually and didn"t ask further. He only said, "Get in. I"ll send you there."
"But my brother called someone to pick us up."
Qin Hao stopped talking and just looked at her.
An honest person would not express their grievances, but Huo Siyu could tell.
Her heart softened. "Alright, I"ll talk to Brother and take your car over."
However, Qin Hao suddenly grabbed her hand and Huo Siyu was stunned.
In the next second, Qin Hao lightly kissed the back of her hand.
Huo Siyu was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand.
However, she met Qin Hao"s smiling eyes.
When he smiled…
How should she put it? He no longer looked prim and proper. His eyes seemed to have magic as they sucked people in.
Huo Siyu suddenly felt that the back of her hand was burning hot, and so was her ears.
"Y-you…"
It wasn"t that there were no more intimate actions than this. The two of them lived together, so how could there not be some hugging and kissing? However, she was the one who took the initiative every time. She felt that teasing an honest person like Qin Hao was especially interesting.
Especially when she saw Qin Hao"s honest face turning red from her teasing, she felt that it was especially fun.
Why did Qin Hao…
…become so seductive?
Was he flirting?
His gaze was no longer dull. It was also inexplicably attractive, making her mind almost sucked in.
However, when she looked up again, it was still the familiar Qin Hao.
Did she see wrongly just now?
"Do you… not like it? If you don"t like it, I won"t do it next time…"
"No, no, no… I"ll go call my brother."
She turned and fled, but she didn"t see the faint smile on Qin Hao"s lips.
Hence, an honest persona was actually rather useful.
She did not suspect anything.
However, he could not remain proper and honest forever. Otherwise, she might forget that she had a fiancé.
She did not inform him in advance when she returned to South City.
If he had not investigated her whereabouts in private and found out that she had booked a flight to the capital today and called her last night to pretend to ask, she probably would not have planned to tell him that she had come to the capital this time.
Since she dared to provoke him, she had to be prepared to be tied to him.
She couldn"t ignore him like this.
"Brother…"
Huo Xuan, who had personally witnessed Qin Hao taking advantage of Huo Siyu, glared at Qin Hao with fiery eyes. Qin Hao actually didn"t avoid his gaze and smiled at him smugly.
"…" Huo Xuan.
He dared to provoke him after taking advantage of his sister!
If he had known earlier, he wouldn"t have let Qin Hao take Rainy away when she was drugged…
At the thought of this, Huo Xuan"s expression froze.
If he didn"t let Qin Hao take her away, wouldn"t his sister be taken advantage of by others? Qin Hao was at least legitimate…
Hmph, even if it was legitimate, even if he had allowed Qin Hao to take Rainy away back then, he still disliked Qin Hao!
"What?"
Huo Siyu coughed dryly. She was a killer after all. She had restrained the uneasiness that arose because of Qin Hao just now. She did not look abnormal.
"It"s like this. Since Qin Hao is here, why don"t we take his car over? Otherwise, he"ll have made a wasted trip."
"Who cares about him!" Huo Xuan felt extremely jealous.
They were not even married, but she was already siding with outsiders.
"Let"s go!" He pulled her towards the car that was waiting for them.
"But…"
Huo Xuan didn"t say anything and just held his lips and started coughing.
This cough was terrible and he couldn"t stop at all. It was as if he was about to pa.s.s out from coughing and his face was frighteningly pale.
Huo Siyu was so frightened that she was at a loss for what to do. She quickly patted his back. "Brother, what"s wrong? Are you alright? Why are you suddenly coughing like this? Weren"t you fine just now?"
"I-I"m a little cold. I-I"ll get in first."
"Alright, alright. Get in the car first."
She quickly opened the car door and helped him into the car.
The moment he sat down, Huo Xuan, who was coughing non-stop, felt better.
Huo Siyu heaved a sigh of relief. "Is Brother feeling better?"
"Don"t worry. I"m much better."
"Since Young Master Qin wants to pick us up so much, out of courtesy, we should greet him first. Roll down the car window."
Huo Siyu was about to raise her hand when the driver rolled down the car window.
They were Huo Xuan"s subordinates. Other than being a little worried when they saw Huo Xuan, they didn"t say much.
The car window rolled down and Huo Xuan held his handkerchief to his lips and coughed twice before smiling "reluctantly" at Qin Hao in the other car, "Young Master Qin, thank you for making this trip specially. I won"t take your car today. If Young Master Qin is really not busy, just follow behind. Let"s have a meal later. My treat!"
After saying that, he glanced at the driver. The driver received the instructions and hurriedly rolled up the car window and started the engine.
The car drove away.
Qin Hao chuckled.
His car followed.
He didn"t expect Huo Xuan to be an "actor".
They naturally could not eat dinner together. Qin Hao followed them to the apartment and returned to the army after saying goodbye.
He still had some matters to attend to.
***
That night, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin didn"t return to the Yin Family. Instead, they stayed at the Mount West Villa.
When Yin Jiujin brought Yan Jinyu back from touring the Mount West Villa, the servants had already prepared dinner under Liu Ying"s arrangements.
As she ate the food Yin Jiujin had placed in her bowl, Yan Jinyu glanced around and asked, "Brother Nine, have you always lived here in the capital?"
Yin Jiujin paused in his actions. "Yes."
He then picked up some food for her. "With you around in the future, it doesn"t matter where I live."
Looking into his affectionate eyes, Yan Jinyu paused for a moment before smiling. "Yes, I"ll be around in the future."
"Come, Brother Nine, let"s eat first." She also picked up some food for him.
It was very warm and touching.
Not far away, Liu Ying looked and suddenly felt that this cold West Mountain Villa seemed to have become more lively.
Miss Yu was a gentle and pet.i.te person. She was cute and had extraordinary skills.
She could accompany him when he was safe and stand side by side when he was in danger.
The people around Master Nine should be like this.
"By the way, Brother Nine, I have something to tell you."
Yin Jiujin looked at her and waited for her to speak.
"Sister-in-law called me just now and said that the agreement for tomorrow"s shopping is still the same. But the people who are going shopping… Hehe, have increased from two people to four."
Her laughter was very devilish.
Yin Jiujin didn"t ask further. He only smiled helplessly and said, "Don"t worry and play. I can take care of any commotion you cause in the capital."
"Brother Nine, aren"t you going to ask who else are going?"
"It doesn"t matter who it is. As long as the other party dares to harm you, you don"t have to hold back."
After saying that, Yin Jiujin chuckled. "Can"t I tell what you"re thinking? It must be some ignorant people who want to find trouble with you again and you"re bored."
"Do you need me to send two people to follow you secretly?"
Yan Jinyu felt that she was being looked down on and she stared at him
"Since you don"t want to, forget it."
"Be careful. You can"t be careless just because the other party isn"t a cause for concern."
"If you didn"t want to join in the fun, I…"
"Alright, Brother Nine. She"s just an ordinary daughter of a wealthy family. What can she do to me? Just take it that they"re here to relieve my boredom." In fact, she wasn"t just joining in the fun.
She didn"t want to let Qin Jianjia down and also wanted to use this to see if she could find out which family in the capital wanted to kill her so badly.
"Relieve your boredom? Do you feel bored with me?" Yin Jiujin suddenly asked.
"…" Yan Jinyu.
She looked at him speechlessly.
"Why are you talking about this?"
Looking into his eyes that were staring straight at her, Yan Jinyu felt that it was funny. "Brother Nine, I"m not bored at all being with you. Ain"t I just going to meet Sister-in-law?"
She knew it. Yin Jiujin was very clingy. Sometimes, his temper was like a child"s.
He would act coquettishly, get angry, and get unreasonable.
Who would believe her if she told those people who were trembling in fear when they heard Yin Jiujin"s name that Yin Jiujin was actually like this?
She would not believe it either in the past.
"Brother Nine, are you really not going to ask who else is going with us?"
"It"s not important."
Yan Jinyu smiled. "From what Sister-in-law is saying, it seems like they are her stepsister and… the good partner that your mother is seeking on your behalf, the eldest daughter of the Min Family, Min Sisi."
"Everyone knows how Qin Bailu feels about you. As for Min Sisi, what do you think she feels about you?"
"I"m not familiar with her," Yin Jiujin said.
As if he was afraid that she wouldn"t believe him, he repeated, "I"m not familiar with either of them."
"So be it. Brother Nine, why are you so nervous?"
I"m just afraid that you would think too much.
Yin Jiujin flicked her forehead. "Don"t speak. Eat quietly."
"I know, I know. Brother Nine, just say it. Can you stop flicking my forehead? How many times have I said it? I"ll become silly."
"You"re silly to begin with."
