Huo Yu clicked her tongue and let go of Qin Yuan’s collar. She rolled her eyes as if she had just noticed something.
“Sister-in-law? Brother, you have a girlfriend?” Huo Yu asked in shock.
Seriously? The impossible had happened?
“Not a girlfriend, a wife,” Qin Yuan corrected her.
Back then, he had only said that it was a lover, but Huo Zhen had been on his case for a few days.
Huo Yu’s eyes were wide open.
“W…wife? Brother, when did you get married? I’m your sister! You didn’t even inform me! It can’t be! There’s no news of your marriage in Jing City!”
“Didn’t you investigate? You didn’t find out about this?” Luo Tao calmly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
“What investigation? I just happened to hear that you were in C city, so I rushed back. Where do I have the time to investigate anything about you.” Huo Yu rolled her eyes at Luo Tao.
“I got married under someone else’s identity.” Luo Tao explained briefly.
Seeing Huo Yu’s utter confusion, Qin Yuan had the decency to explain things to her.
“Brother Huo got into a car accident earlier. Through a convergence of errors, he accidentally took over someone else’s identity and married sister-in-law.”
Huo Yu widened her eyes in surprise. What era was this? How could there still be such a thing as a marriage under someone else’s identity?
“I say, brother, you’re too irresponsible! If the girl finds out that you’re a substitute, she’ll definitely want to kill you!”
“It’s not that bad! Our brother Huo is not lacking in the department of finances, looks, and physique. If sister-in-law finds out about brother Huo’s true identity, won’t she be overjoyed?”
Huo Yu rolled her eyes at Qin Yuan, saying, “Let’s not talk about whether it’s the right thing to do. Just say, after the matter is exposed, can my brother marry her? Moreover, my brother replaced that person. How will those two continue with their lives after my brother leaves? Or maybe the girl will develop feelings for my brother. Once my brother leaves, she will ask you if you are a scumbag.”
The two men in the room were rendered speechless by the young girl’s words. Luo Tao frowned. “I will marry her.”
“Marry her? What do you think will happen if two people from different strata of society get together? Brother, you grew up in the Huo family. Don’t you know what circles you move around in?”
“How many Cinderella romances have you seen in the capital? Moreover, Cinderella is not an ordinary person! She is the daughter of a noble family.”
Luo Tao’s face was gloomy after hearing Huo Yu’s words. Back then, he had had no choice but to fulfill the engagement because he had to hide his identity and did not want to make a big deal out of it.
“I will decide on matters relating to my own marriage.”
Huo Yu saw that Luo Tao’s expression was really bad, so she did not dare to say anything more. Qin Yuan gave her a look that told her she was on her own.
The room was silent for a moment. Qin Yuan and Huo Yu were like two little quails who had had their mouths sealed shut. They did not dare to say anything more.
Luo Tao broke the silence and asked Huo Yu, “Have you returned to Jing City?”
Huo Yu shook her head. “No, I came directly to your place. I told Grandpa I’ll be back in a few days.”
“Go back as soon as possible. Don’t let Grandpa worry.”
“Alright!” Huo Yu answered reluctantly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Tao got up and was about to leave. Suddenly, a text message notification sounded from his phone.
Huo Yu and Qin Yuan looked at the source of the sound at the same time. Therefore, the two of them witnessed the appearance of the face-changing master.
Huo Yu widened her eyes and nudged Qin Yuan with her elbow. She asked, “Who is this person?”
Qin Yuan accepted it much more quickly. It was not the first time he had seen Luo Tao’s face-changing.
“Your brother.”
“Who sent him the message?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it’s sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law? The girl who got tricked by my brother?”
“Yes.”
Huo Yu and Qin Yuan were well-coordinated with each other, as if they were singing a double act.
After Luo Tao finished typing, he turned around and looked at the two of them coldly.
“You have nothing better to do?”
The two of them instantly covered their mouths and shook their heads in unison.
This time, Luo Tao did not say anything and directly left Qin Yuan’s office.
“Little Yuan, I really didn’t see wrongly earlier. That’s my brother? How can he be so gentle? Could it be that he’s been replaced by someone else?”
Qin Yuan did not know where Huo Yu’s imagination was going, so he could only helplessly say, “Unfortunately, I’m telling you, that’s Huo Zhen. After getting married, he became like this. We’re all used to it.”
