Chapter 455: Such a Little Sister Is Cute Too

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The meaning was very clear. The key to the marriage was Murong Qiao.

“That’s true. Young people all have their own thoughts.” Huo Hong gave a fake smile.

At this moment, the butler was holding a few cups of drinks and slowly placed them in front of Murong Qiao, considerately letting the other party choose.

But Murong Qiao didn’t even look at it.11 m hungry.

She made another request, causing Huo Hong to become impatient.

Could it be that she thought that this was her house? She took everything she wanted and didn’t have the slightest awareness of being a guest?

Huo Hong never expected Murong Qiao, whom he had met a few times and thought was not bad, to have such an unacceptable image after interacting with her.

However, he didn’t know Murong Qiao well, so he naturally didn’t know that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him. He only felt that she was very troublesome and had one request after another.

■If you don’t mind, why don’t I ask the kitchen to prepare lunch earlier?” Huo

Hong’s expression softened, and there was no anger on his face.

He was a sly old fox. His eyes shone brighter than anyone else’s when he smiled.

As he spoke to Murong Qiao, his gaze swept past Murong Chen from time to time. Seeing that the other party seemed to turn a blind eye to Murong Qiao s pampered attitude and even seemed to be indulging her, he couldn’t figure out what these two people were thinking.

However, when he thought about how the Murong Family had taken the initiative to meet this time, Huo Hong felt that this might be a test for the Huo Family. After all, Murong Chen was famous for doting on his Little Sister.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble to prepare lunch. I’ve been losing weight recently.” Murong Qiao touched her stomach. “I want to eat the pastries from the south street in the city. I want freshly baked ones.

When he heard the first sentence, Huo Hong thought that Murong Qiao had finally become more sensible and didn’t intend to make any more ridiculous requests. In the end, when he heard that Murong Qiao turned around and wanted to eat the pastries, his face couldn’t help but darken.

When the butler, who had been secretly observing at the side, saw this change in topic, he couldn’t help but smile.

When they met previously, Murong Qiao’s polite and smiling appearance was clearly very likable. Now, she looked like a different person in front of Huo Hong. The butler was much happier when he saw Huo Hong suppressing his anger.

“Young Miss Murong—” At this moment, even the butler standing beside her pretended not to be able to stand it anymore.

The butler was about to say something when Huo Hong forced a smile and raised his hand to stop him.

If not for the engagement…

Huo Hong waved his hand with a fake smile. “Arrange for someone to buy it.” He instructed the butler, suppressing the anger in his heart. His gaze was fixed on Murong Qiao, and he simply didn’t intend to coax Murong Qiao blindly. He turned around and talked about serious matters.

“We can’t talk about marriage rashly. If you have any requests, we can discuss

it.” Huo Hong mentioned this matter again.

He pretended to be magnanimous and looked at Murong Qiao. He was a good elder and clearly supported their marriage.

However, Murong Qiao was unhurried. She took a sip of the fruit juice that the butler had just served and said leisurely.

■But I think it’s a little early for both of us to get married now.” Her tone was hesitant.

Murong Qiao even said logically, “I haven’t thought about getting married so early….”

She lowered her eyes and paused before adding, seemingly a little nervous.

Hearing that Murong Qiao didn’t want to get married, Huo Hong’s heart skipped a beat and he planned to calm her down. Since she was already here, he had to let the two of them get married.

“Could it be that you’re still in a cold war?” Huo Hong pretended to be an experienced person and changed the topic. “Actually, it’s normal to have some conflicts in your relationship. It’ll be fine as long as the two of you talk it out.”

He thought that Murong Qiao was angry at Huo Yichen and said this deliberately.

After all, Murong Qiao had just complained that Huo Yichen had not replied to her message for the past few days. Huo Hong, who had placed Huo Yichen under house arrest, was a little annoyed.

“It’s not like that.” Murong Qiao shook her head.

She looked up at Huo Hong and said timidly, “Can I call you Uncle Huo?”

“Of course.” Huo Hong couldn’t wait to get closer to her and listened to her with a smile.

Even Huo Xiuyuan’s jaw dropped when he saw this. This was because other than treating his biological son, Huo Hong had never shown such a kind expression. He could be said to be a good elder.

“Uncle Huo.” Murong Qiao placed her hands on her legs and pretended to consider. “I actually think Huo Yichen’s personality is a little stuffy, like a block of wood.

Actually, it’s quite good to just date for now. I’m not quite accustomed to the speed of this arrangement.

Friction is naturally a common thing, but in the current situation, I feel that marriage is still quite far away from us…

Murong Chen sat at the side and watched his Little Sister talk to Huo Hong seriously.

Every point of her analysis was logical and reasonable. It even made sense.

Moreover, there were many things that Huo Hong could not refute, as if they were really true.

The corners of Murong Chen’s mouth curled imperceptibly as he muttered in his heart.

■I wonder when she has become so eloquent.’

It’s fine. This side of his sister was also cute.

The three people sitting in the front hall had different thoughts. Murong Qiao told Huo Hong her opinion even more seriously than when she was writing her thesis. Huo Hong suppressed the impatience in his heart and nodded with Murong Qiao. Beside him, Murong Chen’s mind was wandering, and his mind was filled with his Little Sister.

While Murong Qiao and Huo Hong were chatting, the butler who had been sent away to send people to buy pastries began to take action.

After Murong Qiao’s arrival, most of the Huo Family moved to satisfy Murong Qiao’s requests. The entire family was busy.

After the butler agreed to the request, he left through the main door on the surface. Then, he walked to a blind spot that Huo Hong could not see and turned around to return through the side door. He followed the shortest route to the study.

The butler walked silently around the guards patrolling the corridor and arrived at the door of the study.

Seeing that someone was coming, the guard at the door of the study reached out to stop him without thinking.

“No one is allowed to enter the study today,” the guard reminded coldly.

The butler stood still and said unhurriedly, “The family head sent me to pick up a document.”

When he heard this voice, the guard’s reaction was a beat slower. Only then did he realize that the person who came was the butler.

“Sorry.” The guard hurriedly apologized and moved aside. “I subconsciously-” “It’s fine.” The butler looked businesslike. “Is there anything unusual?”

The guard hurriedly shook his head. “We’re all watching. Other than you, no one else came.”

“Alright, I understand. Watch carefully.” The butler reminded him.

He didn’t show any anxiety. After confirming that things were as usual, he entered the study.

The guard didn’t suspect anything. With the butler’s identity, he was not in a hurry at all. No one would expect the butler to help someone escape.

The butler pushed open the door and entered the study. He went straight to his destination and walked to the desk where Huo Hong often sat. His hand fumbled under the table for the switch.

There was a hidden safe here. Huo Hong had always liked to store things here. Only his and the butler’s fingerprints could unlock it.

Beep—

An almost imperceptible notification indicated that the safe had been unlocked.

The butler opened the door of the safe and indeed saw Huo Yichen s identification and bank card inside.

He took out the folder he had long prepared and placed the documents and other things inside to hide. Then, he carefully cleaned up his traces and confirmed that there were no mistakes before leaving..
