Chapter 440: What Are You Barking About?

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Originally, when Murong Chen said that he wanted to respect the wishes of his Little Sister, Huo Hong frowned.

This was because Huo Yichen had told him previously that he had been in contact with Murong Qiao for a while but had made no progress.

However, when he heard that her suitor had to be worthy of Murong Qiao, a smile appeared in his eyes.

“Of course, of course. It’s good for young people to interact more,” Huo Hong said casually.

His mind raced as he thought about what Murong Chen had said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had nothing to worry about.

Someone that was worthy of Murong Qiao… Only Huo Yichen fit the bill.

Among the younger generation, only Huo Hong knew that no one was more capable than Huo Yichen, and no one could beat him in terms of background…

No matter how one looked at it, Huo Yichen was the best choice. Murong Chen must be trying to hint something to him by saying that.

Moreover, as long as the hardware requirements had been met, the feelings could be nurtured with time. In any case, since Murong Chen’s intention was already expressed so clearly, Huo Hong had some thoughts in his heart.

“Relationships naturally have to be nurtured slowly. I won’t interfere too much in my Little Sister’s love life,” Murong Chen said calmly.

As he spoke, Murong Chen suddenly remembered that he had warned his Little Sister not to get close to Huo Yichen.

Who would have thought that these two people would secretly date behind his back for so long?

Now that he occasionally thought of this matter, Murong Chen still felt a headache coming on. He even thought that it would be a pity if his Little Sister didn’t work in a secret intelligence agency since she was so good at hiding things.

As for the marriage, Murong Chen and Huo Hong had fully explained what it meant to play Tai Chi.

“Little Sister is still young now, so there’s no hurry for her to get engaged. The person she likes naturally needs to be considered…”

Murong Chen perfectly portrayed a brother who doted on his Little Sister.

He said this to avoid Huo Hong’s plan, lest the other party continuously schemed to push this matter and looked at Murong Qiao with interest.

His Little Sister and Huo Yichen’s engagement ceremony and Huo Hong’s arrangement for the marriage alliance between the two families were two completely separate matters.

What Murong Chen wanted was for Huo Yichen to marry his Little Sister as the head of the family. He wanted her to live a happy life in the future, not become a product of benefits and become a bargaining chip for Huo Hong.

Huo Hong naturally understood that he couldn’t be anxious in this matter. “The juniors should decide this matter themselves. However, there’s a new project at the company recently. I wonder if you’re interested…”

He took a step back in order to advance, so he didn’t show his ugly table manners. Instead, he started talking about business politely.

After all, he had already achieved his goal today.

Huo Hong learned his answer from Murong Chen. After the banquet ended, he instructed Huo Yichen to nurture his relationship with Murong Qiao. At most, they could just “get together” in other ways.

Moreover, it was indeed too rushed to arrange a marriage now. The Huo Family’s atmosphere was tense now. When they sensed that Huo Hong wanted to support Huo Yichen, they were a little restless. If they joined forces with the Murong Family at this time, it would probably become the fuse for something.

In any case, the two people upstairs were chatting happily.

Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen, who were still at the banquet downstairs, took this opportunity to whisper to each other. It was also interesting.

However, the two of them had to act in front of the other guests. It would be even more annoying if someone went forward to talk to them.

This was also the shortcoming of the banquet. Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen decided to go somewhere else.

“Go through the corridor at the side. You can go straight to the garden behind the Huo Family. We’ll meet there.” Huo Yichen pointed the way for her.

In terms of the Huo Family’s layout, Murong Qiao, who had just arrived, was naturally unfamiliar with it. After Huo Yichen pointed out the simplest path for her, he ostensibly said that he wanted to go to the toilet and separated from the others.

He wanted to take another path to avoid arousing suspicion if the two of them disappeared together.

“Young Miss, I’ll lead the way for you.” The Huo Family’s butler walked over.

Murong Qiao recognized that this butler was the one she had seen in the hospital last time. She couldn’t help but smile and thank him.

This was also arranged by Huo Yichen to prevent anything from happening to Murong Qiao when she walked around the Huo Family alone.

However, nothing happened to Murong Qiao, but Huo Yichen encountered an unlucky person.

He had just come out of the washroom. When he turned around after washing his hands, he saw Huo Xiuyuan standing at the door and leaning against the wall, staring at him unhappily.

His face was sinister, and his eyes were dark. He stood there and stared at Huo Yichen for an unknown period of time, or perhaps he saw the other party walking alone and stuck close to him.

“What is this? Smug?” Huo Xiuyuan snorted.

He took two steps forward and stood in front of Huo Yichen. “You’re the main character of today’s banquet. Countless young ladies pestered me just now to introduce them to Huo Yichen.”

“You’re really likable.” Huo Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, but his gaze was unfriendly.

They were clearly nice words, but when they came out of Huo Xiuyuan’s mouth, they sounded sarcastic.

Huo Yichen’s expression didn’t change. Just his height alone was enough to make him feel oppressed. Then, he slowly wiped his hands dry, as if he didn’t care about Huo Xiuyuan at all.

This made Huo Xiuyuan feel extremely humiliated. He gritted his teeth in anger when he saw Huo Yichen’s smug expression.

He had been hiding in the dark during the banquet and naturally saw Huo Hong’s enthusiasm towards the Murong Family. However, the more he acted like this, the more it proved how much Huo Hong cared about Huo Yichen.

This was not what Huo Xiuyuan wanted to see.

“I hate seeing you like this the most. You think everything is under your control…” Huo Xiuyuan sneered.

He raised his chin slightly and spoke with an extremely arrogant attitude. At least on the surface, he was far more arrogant than Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He would rather leave more time to interact with Murong Qiao than listen to Huo Xiuyuan’s useless words here.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, Huo Xiuyuan shamelessly stepped over and blocked in front of him.

“Why? Are you in a hurry to see your little lover?” Huo Xiuyuan smiled faintly.

He naturally knew about Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao long ago. Seeing that Huo Yichen didn’t talk to him and was about to leave, he knew that he was going to look for Murong Qiao.

The disdainful way he addressed Murong Qiao made Huo Yichen successfully divert his attention to Huo Xiuyuan. His dark eyes moved, and the moment he met Huo Xiuyuan’s gaze, the other party’s heart palpitated.

Huo Yichen suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed. “Huo Xiuyuan—”

He suddenly grabbed Huo Xiuyuan’s collar and pressed him against the wall with one hand. His gaze was indifferent, and even his tone was light and playful.

“What are you barking about?”

This shocked Huo Xiuyuan greatly. His mind turned white for a moment, as if he did not expect Huo Yichen to attack directly.

Huo Yichen’s cold and handsome face was expressionless. The strength in his hand seemed to be able to strangle him to death. The older Huo Xiuyuan could not break free even if he wanted to.

It was rare for Huo Yichen to choose a rough and straightforward solution to Huo Xiuyuan’s waste of his time here.

This idiotic dog barked wildly, annoying him.

He knew the Huo Family like the back of his hand, and there were no surveillance cameras here. Only the two of them knew what had happened.

“You’d better behave yourself.” His dark eyes swept over and he clicked his tongue impatiently..
