“Take him to the ancestral hall. Don’t let him out until he’s reflected on his actions. Otherwise, he won’t be going to school or work.”
“Yes, Master Huo.”
Huo Qi approached Huo Ningxi and said with respect, “Young Master, this way please…”
“I’m not going!” Huo Ningxi opened his eyes wide and gasped for air like a distressed beast. “This is a dictatorship!” he screamed at Huo Yunque’s back as he walked away.
These words made Huo Yunque stop. He turned around with a smile. “Dictatorship?”
“Yes, that’s right! The Huo Family has always listened to you. Whenever I do anything that you don’t like, you lock me in the ancestral hall! You’re so much older than Song Yaoyao, how do you know that she genuinely likes you and not your power and money?”
“Ahem…” Huo Qi was terrified as he quickly glanced at Huo Yunque and pulled Huo Ningxi out. “Young Master, what are you saying? Hurry and apologize!”
“No,” Huo Ningxi closed his mouth shut.
The power resonating from the man was like an earthquake pressing down on him.
Huo Ningxi felt nervous. He actually regretted what he said right after he said it, but he wasn’t about to back down and apologize.
“Ha—”
Huo Yunque waved his hand, gesturing for Huo Qi not to be so anxious.
He walked back and stood in front of Huo Ningxi.
Huo Qi let go of Huo Ningxi and retreated.
The powerful aura made Huo Ningxi’s heart tighten. His face scrunched up and his hands clenched.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hit you.”
Huo Yunque patted his shoulder. “You’ve grown up. Since you refuse to listen to me, you should move out from today onward.” His lips parted as he calmly instructed, “Huo Qi, go pack his bags.”
“Small Uncle…”
Huo Ningxi was shocked. He didn’t expect Huo Yunque to be so decisive.
The truth was, he did not actually think that Huo Yunque was a dictator. Although he was strict, he only did it for his own good. In Huo Manor, he had never mistreated him.
He felt bad on the inside. His throat twitched and he turned his head; he wanted to apologize but he had too much pride.
“Did you finally realize how good she is?”
This sudden question made Huo Ningxi’s heart sink. He pressed his lips together and slowly nodded his head.
At this moment, there was a slight chuckle.
“Indeed, she’s really good. I really like her.”
After speaking, Huo Yunque turned to leave. His voice was deep and cold. “Even though you may be speaking the truth, I coincidentally have everything that she wants…”
Whether it was money, power, or status, Huo Yunque had all of it.
In this country, it was impossible to find another person who was more suited.
Moreover…
If she was after appearance…
Huo Yunque wasn’t narcissistic, but sorry, he also fitted the bill.
Master Huo, you are being too ruthless!
Huo Qi watched as Huo Ningxi’s face turned pale after listening to Huo Yunque’s response.
He shook his head. This time, he really did start to pity him.
“Young Master, let’s go.”
Huo Ningxi stumbled backward a little. Fortunately, Huo Qi held onto him just in time.
“Huo Qi.”
The youth’s voice sounded sad and helpless.
“Do you think Song Yaoyao genuinely likes Small Uncle?”
Huo Qi couldn’t bear to tell him the truth. But just as he was about to open his mouth to respond, Huo Ningxi suddenly burst into laughter.
“Forget about it. Why am I asking you this? You are one of his men. You will definitely side with him.”
“Huh?”
