Xia Tang stared at the man in front of her. He was poised and elegant, looking like a misfit as he crouched down and helped her take out her heel.
“Stand properly.”
Xia Tang couldn’t quite hear his voice, so when he pulled her heel out, she shook unstably and placed her fingers on his shoulder to stabilized herself.
Once Xia Tang stabilized herself, she realized what she did and said awkwardly, “Mr Huo, I’m sorry.” She returned the umbrella to him.
Huo Third Master took the umbrella, but continued to hold it over Xia Tang’s head. Xia Tang looked down, her eyes landing on his sparkling but cold silver button. “I’m sorry for troubling you just now, Mr Huo.”
Xia Tang nodded at Huo Third Master, before she wanted to leave.
Huo Third Master spoke slowly, “It’s late now. When Momo marries into your family, we’ll be family too. Let me take you back to the hotel.”
The rain had gotten heavier. Xia Tang didn’t force herself, so she smiled at Huo Third Master. “Thank you.”
Huo Third Master stared at Xia Tang, who smiled politely and obediently, nodding as he led her into his car.
Seeing Huo Third Master bring Xia Tang onto his car, the driver was extremely surprised. From what he remembered, Huo Third Master never approached a woman, not to mention helping a woman pull out her heel. Even a woman from the Huo family wasn’t allowed to sit in his car.
After Xia Tang got on, she sat quietly by her window.
Huo Third Master took out a pair of disposable slippers from the boot and placed it under Xia Tang’s feet. “I saw that the skin of your heels was rubbed raw. I’m sure you’re not comfortable wearing heels.”
Xia Tang glanced at Huo Third Master. After he put down the slippers, he sat on the other side of the car, a galaxy seemingly present between them. Dimmed yellow lights landed on his car, like there was time between them as he looked elegant but distant as well.
He probably did all this because Momo was going to become her sister-in-law!
After she came to Hong Kong, she heard some things about the Huo family in-charge, Huo Third Master. He was cold and distant, never approached women and was one of the golden bachelors many noble women looked up to in Hong Kong.
“Thank you, Mr Huo.”
Xia Tang’s heels really hurt terribly, her heels only feeling better after she changed into the slippers.
It was very quiet in the car. Huo Third Master was a calm and mature person. As the car drove smoothly towards the hotel, Xia Tang was slightly sleepy, so she turned her face out of the window, closing her eyes to take a short nap. She thought that like that, Huo Third Master wouldn’t see her sleep, but her head slowly dropped lower and lower, betraying what she was doing currently.
She looked a little cute.
Huo Third Master’s stiff facial lines softened unconsciously.
When the driver saw Third Master smiling through the rear mirror, he was so scared he almost stepped on the brakes. He had worked for Third Master for many years, but he had never seen the latter smile so gently before.
Did he have interest in that fair and slender girl?
Xia Tang didn’t fall into a deep sleep. Although she was napping, her mind seemed to be in an alert, reminding her to not sleep for too long.
That was why she opened her eyes the moment the car arrived at the hotel.
“Mr Huo, thank you for sending me back.” It was pouring with rain, but Xia Tang couldn’t care too much anymore as she thanked Huo Third Master again before she opened the door and rushed off in a hurry.
It was only when she ran into the lobby that she realized something was wrong. Glancing at her feet, she saw she had run out wearing a pair of slippers.
Her shoes were still in the car…
Xia Tang hurriedly turned around. However, the car that sent her here had already disappeared in the rainy night.
Oh well. It was only a pair of shoes, and it wasn’t worth much money. However, if she specifically asked people for Huo Third Master’s phone number, there might be a misunderstanding that she wanted to approach him…
Never mind, she didn’t want it anymore!
Huo Third Master would probably throw her shoes away after finding them in his car!
…
A black sedan parked in front of the Huo family mansion.
The butler went up to open the car and said politely, “Welcome back, Third Master.”
Huo Third Master hummed faintly as he got out of the car.
The butler followed behind Huo Third Master, noting the pair of pretty and fashionable high heels in his fair and slender hand. It didn’t belong to a big brand, but it looked more fashionable than any other big brands.
When did Huo Third Master ever hold a pair of woman’s shoes?!
The butler stared as Huo Third Master didn’t put the shoes down after he entered the mansion. Instead, he continued to hold onto the shoes and walked down the stairs, looking extremely surprised and shocked.
Whose shoes were Third Master holding?
Just as Huo Third Master arrived at the stairs, the sound of another car parking here rang outside. Not too long later, a slightly drunk Huo Ze was helped in by the butler.
Seeing Huo Third Master who was going up the stairs, Huo Ze waved his hand at the butler, indicating that he didn’t need help anymore. He chased after Huo Third Master unstably. “Third Uncle.”
Huo Third Master stopped, turning towards Huo Ze. “Did you not dare to go home because you drank too much?”
“With Mom’s personality, she’ll nag me twenty four seven. I still feel more at ease at Third Uncle’s place.” Huo Ze smiled devilishly, as he glanced at the pair of high heels Huo Third Master was holding. “Third Uncle, did the sun rise from the west today? Why are you carrying a pair of high heels? Does Third Uncle have someone he likes?”
“It belongs to a small girl.” Huo Third Master smirked, before he turned and went up.
Huo Ze leaned against the stairs handle lazily, staring at the high heels in Huo Third Master’s hands.
Where had he seen those shoes before?
The next morning, Huo Ze got up and went to swim in the pool. Taking in a deep breath, he dived to the bottom of the pool, swimming a couple of meters with one breath as a scene appeared in his mind like lightning.
If he didn’t remember wrongly, the pair of high heels Third Uncle was carrying had been worn by his little lover before?
Huo Ze jumped out of the swimming pool. The servant waiting by the pool flushing as she passed him a towel. Wrapping the towel around his slender waist, he walked to the daybed and took his phone.
After a few taps on the screen, he was calling someone.
A robotic voice stated that the phone was turned off. He then called the hotel Xia Tang was staying at and found out that the Xia siblings had checked out early in the morning.
Huo Ze threw his phone down, rubbing his wet short hair.
A cold smirk appeared on his lips. If the high heels Third Uncle was holding really belonged to her, he would definitely strangle her to death.
…
After they met the Huo family, Junyuan, Xia Mo, Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi discussed and agreed to register their marriage together.
That was why they agreed on a good date and the two sweet couples went to register their marriage.
Once they did, Xia Yanran had also settled her resignation procedures at the magazine agency. Because she couldn’t bear to part with Junyuan and Xia Mo, Xia Yanran suggested for the family to go on a trip together. Both Junyuan and Xia Mo saw it as their honeymoon vacation.
They wanted to bring Xia Tang with them, but Xia Tang had some last-minute work, so she couldn’t go.
