Chapter 458 - 458: Did These Two Guys Fight Against Each Other?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Qingya slept in Xu Huiwen’s room last night and didn’t wake up early. Firstly, she was afraid of being mocked by her acquaintances. Secondly, she wanted to wait for everyone to go to the dining room before going back to her room to wash up. Thirdly, she didn’t want to see Huo Shengyuan.
After thinking about it last night, she still felt that she shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. She didn’t even get to see Huo Shengyuan clearly before she married herself. It was fine if she was married, but she didn’t ask for three letters and six betrothal gifts, nor did she ask for a grand wedding. Was it because of this that Huo Shengyuan thought he was her only choice and that she was easy to bully? Mu Qingya’s imagination ran wild for the entire night, but she still couldn’t figure it out.
She couldn’t forgive Huo Shengyuan just like that. A clay man could still be a little angry, let alone the daughter of the Mu Family. But if she didn’t forgive him, what if Huo Shengyuan really didn’t come to coax her? Were they going to continue to have a cold war like this?
She wanted to leave the Xu family now.
So, she gave Huo Shengyuan another chance. If he still didn’t come to coax her after breakfast, she wouldn’t have to give him any face. She was a legitimate daughter, a noble young miss. Did she have to kneel and beg an illegitimate child to love her?
Knowing about the conflict between them, Mother Xu couldn’t help but ask when she saw Huo Shengyuan at breakfast, “Where’s Qingya?” Why isn’t she here for breakfast?”
“She’s not feeling well.” Huo Shengyuan replied with a sour expression.
“Since she’s not feeling well, as her husband, you should pay more attention to her. I’ll get the servant to bring her some breakfast in the room later.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Huo Shengyuan was a man of business. He said one thing and did another. He wouldn’t beg a woman and let Mu Qingya threaten him. The reason why he married Mu Qingya was because he fancied that she was a lady from a wealthy family. She wouldn’t throw a tantrum over such a matter and wanted to use marriage to make a man compromise. In the end, she revealed her true colors not long after the marriage.
Mother Xu knew that he wouldn’t care about Mu Qingya at all, so she asked the servant to send breakfast to their room. Initially, Mu Qingya was still sulking after washing up. When she saw the servant deliver the food, a look of surprise appeared on her face, thinking that the man didn’t seem to be so heartless. However, the servant’s next words sent her to hell.
“Madam was afraid that you wouldn’t feel well, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some light porridge.”
“Did your Madam send it over?” Mu Qingya confirmed once again.
“Yes, Miss Mu.” The servant then left the room, leaving Mu Qingya disappointed. She shouldn’t have harbored any fantasies, she shouldn’t have…At this moment, she felt that she was right. Then, she quickly packed her things and ran to stop the servant from earlier. She asked her to tell Mother Xu that she was not feeling well and had to leave Deer Pavilion first.
“But Miss Mu, there’s a doctor in the Xu family. Should we…”
“No need. I only see my family doctor.” Mu Qingya’s attitude was very firm, and the servants had no choice but to go to the dining room and tell Mother Xu that Mu Qingya was leaving.
Mother Xu smiled and walked up to Huo Shengyuan. “Shengyuan, did you have a conflict with Qingya?” she asked.
“No, Auntie.”
“But Qingya wants to leave Deer Pavilion and slept in Huiwen’s room last night.
Aren’t you a little too cold to your wife?” Mother Xu was deliberately serious. She was naturally angry with a dog like Huo Shengyuan. “If you want to coax her, you can go after him now. It’s not too late.”
Huo Shengyuan was clearly furious, but he still didn’t show it. Mu Qingya had gone too far on such an important occasion, but after careful consideration, he got up from the dining table and chased outside the Xu family’s main door.
Mother Xu snorted coldly and walked to Lin Wanli’s side to sit down. Then, she whispered a few words into her ear.
“What?” Lin Wanli laughed after hearing this. “Are these two people fighting against each other?”
“That child isn’t a good candidate for a husband. He doesn’t look like the kind of person who would compromise for a woman. I wonder what’s going on in the Mu Family’s daughter’s head.”
“Then does my Master Xiao look like him?” Lin Wanli took the opportunity to ask.
Mother Xu looked at Huo Jiuxiao a few more times and nodded. “He seems to be willing to risk his life for you.”
The words he said at the lakeside yesterday represented Huo Jiuxiao’s attitude towards relationships. He was generous and magnanimous. He would never let her down or owe her anything. Love was everything.
“But I don’t want him to risk his life. I just want him to live well.”
Mother Xu heard some of the rumors that had appeared in the Xu family this morning and felt that it was very ridiculous. She wanted to punish those servants who gossiped, but Lin Wanli told her not to alert the enemy. Since someone liked to play these humiliating games, they had to bear the consequences.
They were about to go into battle, but Huo Shengyuan had an internal conflict.
Given Huo Shengyuan’s temperament, wouldn’t it be worse than killing him to coax Mu Qingya?
[Master Xiao, how many good shows have you watched quietly early in the morning?] Lin Wanli tilted her head and asked the man beside her.
Huo Jiuxiao scooped a bowl of soup for her and placed it beside her hand. Then, he leaned close to her ear and said, “It’s more than you can imagine.”
[Is it noisy?]
“Noisy, but you’re here. I can endure it.” Master Xiao had already mastered a set of automatic shielding functions. In the past, he had no goals and just muddled along, so everything he heard was very noisy. However, it was different now. With a purpose and a goal, he would listen to it in a targeted manner. After focusing, it would not be so noisy. Of course, the most important thing was that his little sweet wife was by his side.
She smiled and looked forward to it, and his mood was as high as a newlywed.
On the other side, Huo Shengyuan finally managed to stop Mu Qingya. He didn’t expect this woman to have the guts to give up halfway. When the white car was forced to stop, he got out of the car and dragged Mu Qingya into his car.
“What are you doing? Are you crazy?” Mu Qingya struggled and shouted.
“Do you know what kind of occasion it is today? Do you want to leave me alone at the birthday banquet and be laughed at by everyone?” Huo Shengyuan pressed Mu Qingya down and said, “Do you know how embarrassing I was at the restaurant just now? I can’t even control my own wife.”
Mu Qingya glared at Huo Shengyuan. Her eyes were red and tears were flowing out. “I want to go home! Huo Shengyuan, you can stay here by yourself. I don’t have to act with you. I’m still the daughter of the Mu Family without you, but you’re nothing without me.”
“We agreed to take down the Huo Corporation together and achieve supreme glory. Qingya, why did you forget our agreement? You’re my wife. I just want you to follow in my footsteps. We’ll definitely get what we want. Do you understand? Come back with me. After today, I’ll promise you one condition.
You can say whatever you want.”
This was Huo Shengyuan’s biggest concession.
Mu Qingya sighed, feeling that she had really fallen into the hands of such a heartless person..
