‘Did that dog eat something wrong? Shouldn’t he be full of disdain towards me? Did I win him over with that bowl of noodles?’
‘Or is it that… he has been bewitched by my beauty?’
“Second Brother, when will you return to China?” Huo Qingyuan asked while packing up, reluctant to leave.
However, she wasn’t unwilling to part ways with him. After all, she had always been scared of him since they were children.
She just hadn’t had enough fun yet and wanted to spend more time with her best friends here.
As the heiress of a wealthy family, Huo Qingyuan was a famous socialite in the US as well, and she even enjoyed a high status.
Most of the socialites in the circle were liberal, just like Anna.
Actually, apart from the circle of scions, the socialites were wild and unrestrained too. Many daughters of upstarts would often try to suck up to them in order to become socialites.
Once they were given the title of “socialite”, they would feel a sense of superiority.
“I’ll be back during the New Year. I doubt your bad company of friends would have the time to meet you.”
‘How is that possible? I’m the heiress of the Huo family!’
Huo Qingyuan pursed her lips and said, “Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is really popular now. Do you remember Tang Qing who brazenly flirted with her in front of you at Grandpa’s birthday bash? And the Best Actor titleholder, Zhuang Heng, who has a cute appearance that many girls adore.”
Huo Xishen finally looked away from his document.
“Second Brother, I asked around and found out that Second Sister-in-law likes handsome guys.”
Huo Xishen humphed coldly.
‘Anyone who isn’t blind can tell that.’
“Second Sister-in-law likes tender-looking guys like Zhuang Heng who seems vulnerable and has the potential of being a boy toy. Second Brother, do you know why she’s working so hard to earn money?” With a mysterious expression, Huo Qingyuan continued, “Its because she plans to buy a house and get herself a boy toy…”
Huo Xishen raised his thick eyebrow and pressed his lips together without saying a word.
Huo Qingyuan was a little anxious.’I’ve already said so much. Doesn’t Second Brother feel a little conscious of crisis?’
‘When we return, they’re really going to be miles apart from each other. I’m not worried that Second Brother would get involved with other women, but Second Sister-in-law puts me ill at ease!’
‘If Tang Qing or Zhuang Heng, or even Zhao Xinchen manage to win her heart, you’re going to cry, Second Brother!’
“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is displeased with you in the first place. If Tang Qing or Zhuang Heng try to bribe her with money, she’ll definitely leave you.”
Huo Xishen still didn’t say anything. He looked at Huo Qingyuan with a deep and profound gaze and a mysterious glint in his eyes.
Huo Qingyuan suddenly felt something was wrong. ‘Why did I feel a chill down my spine?’
She turned around…
“Oh my God!”
Her heart ricocheted and her legs grew weak.
“Second… Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?”
Yan Jinyi stared at her sinisterly with an extremely gentle smile. “I didn’t know Qingyuan knows me so well, it’s really an honor.”
Huo Qingyuan smiled awkwardly and said, “Hehe, it’s because I love you too much, Second Sister-in-law. So, I want to know everything about you, Second Sister-in-law.”
‘Love?’
Huo Xishen looked up.
‘The Huo siblings are all such dogs.’ Yan Jinyi thought to herself.
“What’s so good about soft and tender boys? I prefer vicious and crafty old foxes.” After saying that, she glanced at Huo Xishen charmingly and continued, “Like your second brother.”
Huo Xishen’s hand stiffened when he was holding the document.
Huo Qingyuan blinked and opened her mouth slightly, in disbelief.
Yan Jinyi leaned close to Huo Xishen and sat down beside him. Just as she was about to put her hand on his shoulder, he stood up with a calm expression.
Despite missing the opportunity, Yan Jinyi didn’t get angry and instead said, “Men like Mr. Huo who get shy after being teased are the best.”
