Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby

“Oh?”

Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows. He turned around and saw a person whose face was covered with notes; his face could not be seen clearly.

He put his hand on his forehead. “Who is that?”

“Grandpa Shen’s grandson, Shen Xun,” Song Yaoyao explained.

“What about them…?”

He drew a circle with his fingers, his eyes full of interest.

“My classmates are all very stupid. It’s boring to play with them.” Song Yaoyao sighed. “I guess, it’s lonely to be at the top!”

“Oh? So confident?”

Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously.

“I’ll play with you when we get home.”

Song Yaoyao felt excitement stirring. She raised her chin and agreed proudly, “Okay! Let’s be clear in advance. I won’t let you win!”

“Okay.”

Huo Yunque curled his lips and rubbed the tape mark on her face with his fingers. “But the bet has to be changed.”

“Changed? Changed to what?”

Shen Hongyang sent another batch of guests away with a big smile on his face. Huo Yunque was willing to attend the banquet tonight, which was a big favor to the Shens.

Huo Yunque’s gaze swept past the front, and only the two of them could faintly hear his deliberately low voice.

“The loser will have to fulfill a request from the winner no matter what it is…”

His magnetic, dark, and hoarse voice rang in her ears, touching her soul, and triggering the beast inside of her. Her eyes rolled; she could already taste victory.

She nodded quickly. “Alright! Let’s bet! Whoever goes back on their word will be a little pig.”

Huo Yunque was waiting for this sentence. He silently curled his thin lips.

“Alright.”

“Mr. Huo, I’m really sorry. I was too busy today, so…”

“No worries.”

Shen Hongyang smiled and started chatting with Huo Yunque.

In the distance, Song Rui’s family of four had already decided to leave. Their status was not worthy of Shen Hongyang personally sending them off. Song Rui originally planned to go over and bid them farewell, however, when he saw the group of people standing at the door, he was stunned.

“Is that…Yaoyao?”

It had been a long time since he last saw her, and he almost could not help but look at the daughter who had been neglected all this time.

She seemed to have grown a little taller. It was said that a woman would change as she grew older. The moon-white qipao outlined her increasingly graceful curves. Her black hair was pulled up, and one could already see the beauty of a woman.

Song Rui was naturally no stranger to the man beside her. Who did not know of the commotion he had caused at the banquet?

At this moment, she stood quietly beside the man. The two of them clearly did not have much interaction, but no one doubted their relationship.

At that moment, the man took the coat from his bodyguard and gently put it on her shoulder. The two of them seemed to say something softly to each other. Song Yaoyao’s back was facing the crowd, so he could not see her expression, but he was sure she was smiling because Huo Yunque’s usually cold and indifferent eyes had ripples of a smile, gentle and loving.

He wrapped his arms around her shoulders like a guardian, glancing at her from time to time before talking to the person next to him.

Unknowingly, his daughter had strayed so far and became unreachable.

The man next to her was like a king, surrounded by stars, looking elegant.

Even though he looked so young, and the big shots around him were old enough to be his elders, one could vaguely see their respect for him when they conversed.

In the business world, seniority was nothing. The most real thing was power and status. This was the reason why people could submit to him.

Zhou Manli looked towards the voice. When she saw Song Yaoyao’s back, her eyes flashed.

“Let’s go and say hello.”

Song Rui walked over.

Zhou Manli said uncomfortably, “If you want to go, go by yourself. I’m not going.”
