Chapter 214: Swearing Sovereignty

Murong Qiao saw Huo Yichen the moment she went downstairs. He was standing far away at the other end of the banquet, and there were many people gathered around him.

At the banquet, the attention was divided into two, with Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen each taking half.

“Big Brother.” Murong Qiao walked quickly to Murong Chen.

Murong Chen was chatting with a business friend. When he saw Murong Qiao coming over, he turned sideways and helped to tidy up her slightly messy hair.

“This must be Young Miss Murong.” The man standing at the side looked at her with a friendly gaze.

He said that because he had never seen the iron-faced President Murong so gentle to someone.

If those Young Misses saw this scene, they would be extremely jealous.

Moreover, according to the news, 80% of the speculations were about choosing a husband for Miss Murong. At the thought of this, he looked at Murong Qiao with even more interest.

“Hello,” Murong Qiao greeted.

Seeing that his business partner had brought the topic to Murong Qiao, Murong Chen’s eyebrows twitched. He turned around and stood in front of Murong Qiao, covering Little Sister’s petite figure completely.

“Why don’t we talk about the business we just talked about?” Murong Chen looked at him.

He didn’t want to interfere with his Little Sister’s relationship, but at the very least, he couldn’t let some people with ulterior motives come into contact with Qiaoqiao.

Murong Qiao took the opportunity to sneak a look at Huo Yichen.

However, Murong Qiao found that the other party was also looking at her. He was clearly still talking and calmly answering the person in front of him with a glass of wine, but Murong Qiao could feel Huo Yichen’s attention on her.

While she was hiding behind Murong Chen, Murong Qiao winked at him. The light in her eyes rippled, and her red lips puckered up lightly. Her eyebrows also raised slightly, as if she was kissing him from afar.

Huo Yichen naturally saw what Murong Qiao was doing. He had arrived at the banquet early today and locked onto her almost the moment Murong Qiao appeared.

After seeing Murong Qiao’s antics, he almost couldn’t suppress the corners of his lips that were about to curl up.

“Young Master Huo is really mature and steady. He’s so outstanding at such a young age…”

The person who spoke to Huo Yichen didn’t notice anything wrong at all. He even rushed to flatter him. At this moment, he was just racking his brains to say flattery.

As for Huo Yichen, he didn’t listen to what that person said at all as all his attention was on Murong Qiao.

It hadn’t been long since the winter break, but when Huo Yichen saw that she could still secretly tease him at the banquet, he couldn’t wait to pull her into his arms and kiss her until they couldn’t breathe.

The two of them pretended to be distracted as their gazes collided in the air. It was as if sparks could fly.

Murong Qiao felt Huo Yichen’s gaze on her. That gaze enveloped her from top to bottom, making her heart beat faster.

“Why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell?” Murong Chen asked worriedly.

He turned around unintentionally and saw that Murong Qiao’s face was a little red. Thinking that Little Sister was not feeling well, he frowned.

Murong Qiao quickly waved her hand and replied. “It’s okay, Big Brother.”

She pretended to be obedient in front of Murong Chen, but when Murong Chen turned around, she would look at Huo Yichen from the corner of her eyes.

“Big Brother, I’m going to the washroom first,” Murong Qiao said.

Murong Chen nodded and didn’t notice anything wrong.

Murong Qiao then left the banquet and walked to the corridor beside the front hall. Huo Yichen’s gaze followed her, and then he saw Murong Qiao slowly stop at the door.

She turned around and looked in Huo Yichen’s direction. She blinked gently, and the smile on her face pierced the softest part of his heart.

Before Huo Yichen could react, Murong Qiao disappeared around the corner.

Huo Yichen could no longer stand still. He pursed his lips and said, “Excuse me.”

After saying that, he left the front hall along the corridor without looking at the person in front of him.

It didn’t matter what the excuse was. Huo Yichen just wanted to see Murong Qiao as soon as possible.

He could still control his pace at the banquet and deliberately slow down, but as soon as he left the banquet, he walked quickly and chased along the corridor where Murong Qiao had just left.

Murong Qiao was waiting for him at the end. Not long after, she could see Huo Yichen.

“Huo…”

Before Murong Qiao could speak, she was covered by a shadow in the next second and felt a softness on her lips.

“Ugh…”

She immediately widened her eyes and looked at Huo Yichen’s face that was suddenly close to hers. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her mouth.

At such a close distance, Murong Qiao could see Huo Yichen’s thick and long eyelashes even more clearly, as well as his cold but sharp eyes. His carefully styled hair became much messier because of his anxious movements. A few strands of hair fell from his forehead, breaking the calmness on his face.

Murong Qiao was kissed too suddenly. Huo Yichen’s hands held her cheeks, making her unable to retreat. As a result, from her fair shoulders to her earlobes, they were completely red.

Huo Yichen looked up at her. “Focus.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand appeared in front of Murong Qiao and covered her vision, forcing her to close her eyes.

However, with her vision stripped away, the other sensory feedback was even more obvious.

She could feel the heat emanating from Huo Yichen’s body, his invasive aura, and… their hearts beating faster and faster in sync.

The moment they hugged, Murong Qiao didn’t resist at all, as if she had confirmed his authoritativeness. She had let Huo Yichen pull her into this scorching atmosphere. His rapid and powerful attack then brought her broken thoughts together.

The softness and fierceness mixed together in this kiss, making her unable to resist. Murong Qiao could only tighten her body, trying to ignore the wild thoughts in her mind.

This kiss was especially long, making Murong Qiao almost unable to breathe. However, she gladly took off all her armor.

Huo Yichen.

There were only these three words left in her mind. She was practically nestled in his arms, so obedient that one’s heart would unconsciously soften.

Huo Yichen too didn’t let go of her until she was out of breath.

Only then was Murong Qiao able to breath in the fresh air and leaned against him weakly.

He rested his chin on Murong Qiao’s hair and was in a good mood. “Long time no see.”

He had been separated from Murong Qiao for the past few days. If it weren’t for the belief in his heart that supported him, he would have gone crazy from missing her.

“It hasn’t been long,” Murong Qiao whispered back.

Her voice was barely audible, but Huo Yichen heard her clearly.

He let go slightly and looked down at her. “Talking back to me?”

There was a hint of teasing in Huo Yichen’s words. The empty corner obviously made him relax a lot. He also shed his coldness towards Murong Qiao and opened up his exclusive heart.

He tightened his grip on Murong Qiao and kissed her cheek with a smile. In the end, he kissed her lips again, but he was much gentler than before.

Cheng Jie, who had come to the banquet, happened to see this scene.

He originally wanted to find Murong Qiao to improve their relationship, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find her earlier. He didn’t expect to bump into her while walking casually around instead.

“Tsk.” Cheng Jie frowned unhappily.

Unfortunately, he came at the wrong time. Seeing Murong Qiao in another person’s arms, Cheng Jie couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.

Moreover, he knew who that person was. It was the heir of the Huo Family, Huo Yichen..
