Chapter 361: The Murong Family Choosing a Son-in-law

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Murong Qiao announced the news of her relationship, the warm dinner ended quickly.

“Goodnight, Young Miss.” Uncle Yang smiled as usual.

Among the people who received the news, Uncle Yang was probably the happiest.

He had urged the Young Masters countless times to get a partner, but there was no news. In the end, it was the Young Miss who was the most self-aware in this aspect.

“Goodnight, Uncle Yang.”

Murong Qiao nodded in confusion and walked upstairs, planning to return to her room. Therefore, she didn’t see the gratified expression on Uncle Yang’s face.

She pushed open the door, found her cell phone, and called Huo Yichen.

The call was immediately answered on the first ring, as if someone had been staring at the cell phone.

“Qiaoqiao?” It was Huo Yichen.

There was a hint of panting, as if he had just been exercising.

Murong Qiao coughed lightly. “Big Brother and the others know now.

Coincidentally, everyone is here. Come to my house for dinner tomorrow?” When facing Huo Yichen, this kind of thing was very easy to say. Murong Qiao’s tone even carried a hint of lightness and joy that she herself didn’t notice.

“No problem,” Huo Yichen agreed.

At this moment, he was standing in his room. His other hand, which was empty and not holding his cell phone, gradually clenched. He was so nervous, but Murong Qiao couldn’t see it.

Huo Yichen originally thought that ever since his mother passed away, there was nothing that could make him nervous and value anymore—

But Murong Qiao was different. It was even different from when he went to see his parents.

Murong Qiao could hear the strangeness in Huo Yichen’s voice and couldn’t help but laugh. “Weren’t you so calm previously?”

She couldn’t help but tease Huo Yichen, but her slightly cold hand was still pressed against her burning face, trying to hide the nervousness in her heart. “That’s different…” Huo Yichen replied in a low voice.

The voice coming through the cell phone seemed to have become hoarse. Murong Qiao’s ear that was pressed against the cell phone became a little hot. The temperature on her face also rose. Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and the corners of her lips curled up slightly in joy.

Her attention was attracted by Huo Yichen, so Murong Qiao didn’t notice the footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

The person who walked over was Uncle Yang. He held a piece of paper in his hand and slowly knocked on Young Master Murong Chen’s door.

“Enter.”

Uncle Yang pushed the door open and entered. Then, he saw the Young Master typing on the keyboard. There was a high chance that he was dealing with the company’s matters.

He placed the information beside Murong Chen’s hand. “This is the information you asked me to investigate.”

“Alright,” Murong Chen replied. He picked up the coffee and took a big sip.

Uncle Yang didn’t move. Seeing Murong Chen drink nearly half a cup of coffee at once, he couldn’t help but advise him.

“Drinking coffee is not good for your health.” Uncle Yang frowned.

Murong Chen took another sip without changing his expression. After nodding in agreement, he picked up the information.

There was not much information. Murong Chen skimmed through it. It was filled with all of Huo Yichen’s experiences since he was young. The details were almost seamless.

“The Huo Family…” He sighed.

If that sly old fox Huo Hong knew that his son was with Murong Qiao, he would be very happy.

Uncle Yang understood what Murong Chen meant, but he expressed a completely different opinion.

“This is a good thing.” Uncle Yang agreed with this change. “Young Miss has long passed puberty.”

In other words, since Murong Qiao was treating this matter so seriously, and it was not because she was dizzy with love from her first relationship, as her elders, there was no need to stop her.

Of course, Murong Chen knew it too. “I don’t care about Huo Yichen personally, but the Huo Family is a big problem.”

As the heir who had returned halfway, countless people in the Huo Family wanted him dead. Danger lurked around him in the dark at all times.

As Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen got closer, it was inevitable that she would be targeted by those people and encounter life-threatening dangers. This was what Murong Chen was most worried about.

Murong Chen didn’t want anything to happen to his Little Sister, who had finally returned.

“However…” Murong Chen changed the topic. “If he can’t even deal with the

Huo Family, there’s no need for him to stay by Qiaoqiao’s side.”

He didn’t care about the benefits Huo Yichen brought. As long as he could protect Murong Qiao, it was the most important.

A few lamps in the Murong Residence were lit for a long time tonight. Night slowly fell, and the sky turned into dawn, indicating the arrival of a new day. “Morning, Big Brothers.” Murong Qiao woke up especially early today.

As soon as she went downstairs, she greeted Murong Zheng and Murong Chuan, who were already in the living room.

Murong Chuan nodded in response. “Morning. Are you preparing to go out?” His gaze landed on his neatly dressed Little Sister. Murong Qiao was wearing a casual light pink sweater and jeans. It was obvious that she was going outside. “Huo Yichen might be here soon. 1’11 pick him up,” Murong Qiao explained.

She had just woken up when she saw the news that Huo Yichen would be here soon, so she planned to go straight to the door to wait for him.

Murong Zheng put down the magazine in his hand. “Aren’t you going to eat breakfast?”

“Right, 1 even asked Uncle Yang to leave you a sandwich.” Murong Chuan’s tone suddenly became a little vexed.

If not for Murong Zheng’s reminder, Murong Chuan would have only been looking at his Little Sister.

Murong Qiao’s intention of not eating breakfast was exposed by Murong

Zheng. She was about to say that it was the same to pick Huo Yichen up first before eating when she was interrupted by Murong Zheng standing up.

“I’ll pick him up. Eat at home obediently.” His tone was indifferent, but he didn’t give Murong Qiao a chance to refuse.

Murong Zheng casually placed the magazine on the coffee table and looked at

Murong Qiao, who didn’t move. “Don’t tell me you want to hear me explain how harmful skipping breakfast is to the human body?”

These words successfully extinguished Murong Qiao’s thoughts of struggling.

“Forget it.” Murong Qiao sat obediently on the sofa. “He should be outside by now.”

Murong Zheng replied casually and walked out of the door with his hands in his pockets.

He clearly looked very relaxed, as if he was going for a walk, but Murong Qiao felt that her Second Brother didn’t have good intentions.

Murong Qiao watched as her Second Brother’s back disappeared at the door. Then, her vision was blocked by Murong Chuan’s outstretched hand.

“He knows his limits. He’s just bringing the guy over.” As Murong Chuan spoke, he went to the kitchen to bring the sandwich and placed it in his Little Sister’s hand. “Let’s fill our stomachs first. There’s still a while before lunch.”

The sudden heat in her hand made Murong Qiao relax a little. She looked down at the thin slices of luncheon meat in the sandwich. They were bright and fragrant. Just the smell made her stomach start to rumble.

“Second Brother’s words are very… sharp,” Murong Qiao said vaguely.

The delicious sandwich made Murong Qiao feel much better. She gently bit off a corner and subconsciously looked at the door, as if a familiar figure would appear there in the next moment.

The sound of footsteps came from upstairs. It was so energetic that Murong Qiao could tell that it was Xian Yu.

“He seems to be here.” Xian Yu stretched. “I saw Murong Zheng meet him outside.”

He glanced at his Little Sister, who couldn’t sit still. “Stop looking. I saw the two of them chatting at the door just now.”

This was the first time Huo Yichen had come to the Murong Residence with a different identity. He came ten minutes earlier than expected. Just as he was about to enter, he met Murong Zheng, who had come out to receive him..
