Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Even if Qin Yuan was unwilling, he still had to do what he had to.
In order to not let his little lady boss lose her temper, Qin Yuan arrived at the airport half an hour early.
While waiting in the hall, he remembered when the two of them had been together, Huo Yu would pick him up in advance every time he flew to country M.
She could instantaneously locate him in the crowd and would rush over to give him a big hug.
Qin Yuan lowered his eyes, feeling a little dejected. Those days had truly happened a long time ago…
“Little Yuan? Why are you alone?”
Suddenly, Qin Yuan heard Huo Yu’s voice.
Qin Yuan looked up, and the light in front of him was somewhat blocked. A young girl in short-sleeved shirt and shorts had already walked up to him.
“Where’s my brother?” Huo Yu looked around.
“He can’t pick you up in someone else’s name. I came alone.”
Hearing Qin Yuan say that he was alone, Huo Yu instantly fell silent.
When there were other people around, the two of them could perform very well. It was like the two families had always thought that they did not have feelings for each other, but in reality, it was still a little awkward when they were alone together.
Huo Yu looked at Qin Yuan and changed the topic. “You can just send me to the Huo family’s villa later.”
Huo Yu wanted to ease the atmosphere, but Qin Yuan felt even more awkward when she said that. He hesitated for a long time before saying, “Brother Huo said to let you stay at my place.”
“What?”
Huo Yu’s voice went up a few decibels, attracting the attention of the people around them.
Huo Yu met the gazes of the others and laughed. She pulled Qin Yuan out of the airport quickly.
“Qin Yuan, what did you say? My brother asked me to stay at your place?”
Qin Yuan felt better when he saw that Huo Yu was more surprised than him.
“Yes! Your brother asked you to stay at my place.”
“No way! Little Yuan! Didn’t you protest to my brother?” Huo Yu asked in disbelief.
Qin Yuan sat in the driver’s seat and said, “When have either of you ever heard me protesting?”
Huo Yu knew that there was no arguing with her brother. She let out a long sigh.
Her brother had really committed a sin. He insisted on pushing his sister into the fire pit.
If something happened to them while they lived together, how would her brother take responsibility?
Qin Yuan glanced at the calm Huo Yu in the mirror. In the past, when he was with Huo Yu, he would see Huo Yu’s smiling face from time to time. However, after that, when he would occasionally be alone with Huo Yu, she would always have this cold look on her face. She did not chat nor speak much.
Suddenly, Huo Yu seemed to have thought of something and said, “Previously, you told me that my sister-in-law has my brother eating from her hand. Is that true?”
“It’s true. Brother Huo and sister-in-law have changed a lot since they got married.”
Qin Yuan’s heart, which had leapt up because Huo Yu had taken the initiative to talk to him, instantly sunk back down again.
“Didn’t you see it that day? Brother Huo’s look when he saw sister-in-law’s text message.”
“I saw it,” Huo Yu replied as if she had sensed something.
“My brother has really changed a lot. He used to be like a robot, thinking about how to expand the Huo family’s business every day. So what if it’s the number one company in the world? He won’t be able to spend all the money he earns. When he departs from this life, he will go as he came — with nothing.”
Qin Yuan was amused by her words. He had always liked Huo Yu’s contented and happy personality.
Being with her would be very relaxing. Without too strong a desire for material things, he would stop and appreciate the beauty around him.
Huo Yu would find joy in simple things and share it with him, allowing him to experience life with her.
“You’re right.” Qin Yuan smiled.
Huo Yu raised her eyebrows. In the past, Qin Yuan always liked to disagree with her, but today, he had undergone a transformation? He was going along with her.
“Oh right! What did you mean when you said you wanted to work for my brother in the name of pursuing her? Is that girl like a damsel in distress? Does my brother have to help her with everything?”
The first sentence had just ignited the little flame in Qin Yuan’s heart, but the second sentence had extinguished it. He thought that Huo Yu was jealous, but who would have thought…
“Not really. It’s just that sister-in-law’s constitution is a little special and she often encounters trouble.”
In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Qin Yuan still explained.
“Isn’t that just a damsel in distress? ! I have to tell my brother to be careful. It wouldn’t be good if he gets entangled by a woman of unknown origin,” Huo Yu said with a serious expression.
Qin Yuan was at a loss for words when he mentioned this. Back then, he was almost set up by the damsel in distress.
