Sofia had never felt so aggrieved before.
Ever since she spoke to Huo Yichen, the other party never paid attention to her. He didn’t even look at her once, as if he had completely ignored her.
“Where do you want to go next?”
When Sofia heard Huo Yichen ask Murong Qiao and was about to walk over, she saw the two of them walking in the other direction.
The close atmosphere between the two of them couldn’t be interrupted at all.
On the other hand, after Murong Qiao’s gaze swept past Sofia, she looked to the side with interest. It was a huge pendulum that stimulated screams.
“How about that?” She pointed to the large pendulum beside her.
Huo Yichen naturally followed her. Holding Murong Qiao’s hand, he led her over to buy tickets.
It didn’t matter what they played. The most important thing was that Murong Qiao was happy.
Sofia stood at the side. When she followed Murong Qiao’s finger and looked at the pendulum, she immediately thought of her physical condition.
No matter what, she definitely couldn’t take this ride.
She did it on purpose?
Sofia’s gaze landed on Murong Qiao’s back. She frowned and bit her lower lip.
But before she could think further, Sofia hesitated for a moment and saw Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao walking further and further away. Sofia could only follow.
The closer they were to the area of the pendulum, the louder the screams of the people.
Seeing Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao at the end of the line, Sofia was so disgusted that she didn’t want to go over.
She had to wait so long with these commoners to buy tickets, and she had to be exposed to the sun. When had she fallen to such a state?
“Guess if this little princess will retreat?”
Murong Qiao suddenly held Huo Yichen’s arm and whispered into his ear with a smile in her eyes.
Huo Yichen held her waist without changing his expression to prevent Murong Qiao from having a hard time standing. “If you don’t like it—”
“I hope she gives up on her own,” Murong Qiao said.
As she spoke, she looked past Huo Yichen and at Sofia, who was standing behind him. Suddenly, she planted a kiss on the side of Huo Yichen’s face.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows. Seeing Sofia’s extremely ugly expression at that moment, she couldn’t help but smile.
If she was chased away once or twice, she would still come back. She wouldn’t do such a thankless thing. As long as she made Sofia give up, that would be the end of the matter.
Murong Qiao was thinking about this and didn’t notice Huo Yichen’s happy expression after she kissed him.
Huo Yichen raised his other free hand and touched the spot that Murong Qiao had just kissed. Then, he felt the envious or jealous gazes of the men around him. His mood, which had been ruined by Sofia, suddenly improved a lot.
Perhaps it was not a bad idea to let Sofia follow them? Huo Yichen suddenly changed his mind and even began to look forward to the upcoming journey.
“Actually, I’ve been here a few times before. Why don’t I recommend a few fun rides for you?”
In the end, Sofia walked over and pretended to be friendly to Murong Qiao.
She was a VIP here. When the time came, she could casually bring the person to a haunted house or something like that and get the employees to split the two of them up. The rest of the time would naturally belong to her and Huo Yichen.
But Murong Qiao didn’t buy it. “It’s fine. We’re just here to play.”
“I’ve played with my friends several times when I was in the country.”
Murong Qiao suddenly mentioned, “Speaking of which, how’s your company?”
She changed the topic to Huo Yichen, but she was really just asking casually.
After all, Huo Yichen seemed to have been by her side for the past few days and was not busy with business.
“It’s fine. I don’t have to appear.” Huo Yichen shook his head. “How about we go across and take a look at the things there after this?”
He pointed at the street opposite. Murong Qiao followed his gaze and saw a few beautiful shops selling souvenirs.
“I almost forgot.” Murong Qiao patted her head.
The last time she shopped, she had only picked out a few people’s gifts.
The topic of their conversation was not something Sofia was familiar with.
Whether they were talking about the company, friends, or domestic matters, it was not her place to interrupt.
This situation continued for the rest of the day.
Sofia felt like an uncountable third wheel standing between the two of them, watching the two of them show off their love from the beginning until they returned to the palace.
She couldn’t interrupt, let alone play the games.
Even if Sofia wanted to find a time to talk to Huo Yichen when Murong Qiao left, she couldn’t find any progress with Huo Yichen’s uncooperative attitude.
When the three of them returned to the palace together, Murong Qiao held Huo Yichen’s arm and chatted and laughed. On the other hand, Sofia returned to her room with an angry expression.
“I reckon that she probably doesn’t have the appetite to eat the rest of the dinner.” Murong Qiao watched Sophia walk away and told Huo Yichen secretly.
After all, she had worked so “hard” today. Sofia must be full of anger.
Huo Yichen stroked her smooth long hair and smiled dotingly, as if he was silently indulgent.
Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen had gone out to play for the entire day today, and Sofia had also gone out to follow them for the entire day. However, when she returned to her room angrily and pushed open the door, the first thing she met was not her sister’s gaze.
It was Queen Elvi’s serious gaze.
“Where did you go, Sofia?” Elvi’s question was powerful.
The anger and resentment in Sofia’s heart immediately disappeared when she saw Elvi. She even felt a little guilty.
Ever since she was young, she had almost never been discovered by Elvi. Only this time—
As for Mira, who was originally pretending to be her, she stood silently at the side.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious and stagnant. Queen Elvi’s gaze seemed to carry some kind of oppression as it approached Sofia. She had a disapproving guess, as if she had already seen through her thoughts.
“Mom—” In the end, it was Sofia who took the initiative to speak in a soft voice.
After all, she had always known how to calm Elvi’s anger. It was the same this time.
Sofia walked over and half-squatted beside Elvi’s leg, looking up at her.
“I went out to play and walked to many places today. I even…”
Elvi interrupted her attempt to change the topic. “Did you go to look for those two guests?”
She knew her daughter best.
In fact, it was Mira who took the initiative to tell her mother that she had discovered Sofia’s escape today.
After agreeing to her Little Sister’s request to impersonate her, Mira always felt a little uneasy, especially when she found out that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao would be going out to play today. Mila understood that she had helped her Little Sister do evil again.
Unlike Sofia, Mira knew that this was wrong, so after a moment of hesitation, she found Celestia and explained the situation, asking her to explain this matter to Queen Elvi.
Sofia had always been the worst at lying in front of Elvi, so her answer was only silence..
