Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby


1163 Huo Ningxi’s Engagement

Song Yaoyao wanted to hide the bug from Huo Yunque. He had to deal with so much work every day, and it was already very tiring. Song Yaoyao did not want him to worry about it anymore.

But in the end, Huo Yunque found out.

Then again, what could be hidden from him?

Song Yaoyao was detained at home and she could only travel between Huo Manor and the studio. Other than Huo Si, who was always protecting her, the number of guards nearby had doubled.

As long as they wanted to, not even a fly could get close to Song Yaoyao.

Song Yaoyao participated in the animation competition to pass time, not to win a prize. Besides, she didn’t know how she compared to everyone else.

On the draft paper, two furry little kittens were raising their claws and pouncing on butterflies. One had white socks, and the other had a crescent moon on its head.

This competition was limited to a month. What Song Yaoyao wanted to do was not complicated. It was a short film with a healing element. After a few days, the work was basically done, and she did not have to go to the studio every day.

The door to the study opened, and Song Yaoyao was sitting cross-legged on Huo Yunque’s chair, drawing.

Familiar footsteps approached, and Song Yaoyao looked up. “Gege, you’re back!” She curved her eyes, holding the pen and smiling extremely sweetly.

In her dimples, there seemed to be endless honey, soft and sweet.

Huo Yunque raised his hand and pinched the back of her neck. “How long have you been sitting? Get up and move.”

“It’s only been a while…” Song Yaoyao replied perfunctorily. She noticed that Huo Yunque’s phoenix-like eyes were slightly narrowed, and his aura was gradually becoming dangerous.

She immediately stood up. “I know, I know!”

Uncle Zhang must have betrayed her again!

Huo Yunque sat down, pulled her onto his lap, and pinched her soft little hand.

Song Yaoyao shifted her gaze and it landed on the desk. “What’s this?”

She curiously grabbed it. It was an invitation card, red and very festive.

It was for an engagement ceremony.

[Betrothed: Huo Ningxi and Zhongli Xue]

“Huo Ningxi?” Song Yaoyao was surprised. She turned to look at Huo Yunque. “He’s getting engaged to Zhongli Xue?”

The last time they met, Zhongli Xue insisted that she and Huo Ningxi were just friends. Now, a little while later, the two of them were getting engaged.

She remembered the time when she went for a walk and bumped into Zhongli Xue and the others. That night, outside the window, the girl could not hide her sad and unwilling words.

“Yes.”

Huo Yunque’s expression was indifferent as he stroked Song Yaoyao’s soft hair.

“Do you want to go?”

Song Yaoyao flipped through the invitation card. There was a small photo of Huo Ningxi and Zhongli Xue in the middle. The pretty girl in the photo was nestled in the young man’s arms with a bright smile. Song Yaoyao had rarely seen her like this. Even Huo Ningxi had a faint smile on his lips.

No matter who came to see them, they would feel that they were a good couple.

A perfect match made in heaven.

“If you want to go, of course.”

“Tsk…”

Song Yaoyao seemed to have thought of something. She threw the invitation aside and turned to face Huo Yunque. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder intimately.

“Huo Ningxi’s taste is as bad as ever.”

“It’s bad, but not that bad.”

“What did you say?” Song Yaoyao did not hear Huo Yunque’s amusement and turned her head in surprise.

“I said…” Huo Yunque suddenly pinched her sharp chin and kissed her on the lips. “This.”

Song Yaoyao was caught off guard by his sudden attack. Her little face was slightly red and she nestled in his arms in embarrassment. She had forgotten what Huo Yunque had just said.

“You really are…”

…

Huo Ningxi’s engagement party was held in the most luxurious hotel in Feng City.

Song Yaoyao arrived in the evening. The parking lot outside the hotel was already filled with luxury cars of all kinds, and all the guests coming and going were dressed up.

That was right, Zhong Li had been doing a lot of things recently, and he had gained a firm foothold in the country at an extremely fast speed.

Moreover, he was also well-versed in the ways of dealing with people. While making money, he also did not forget to do charity and attract investments for the country. Hence, business was going smoothly. Even if his methods were a little harsh, people could only sigh; the younger generation was indeed formidable.

The weather had not completely warmed up in spring. Song Yaoyao was wearing a custom-made qipao in a graceful and elegant light pink. It did not look too formal, but instead, she was like a budding rose, exuding an elegant temperament from the inside out. Looking at her, one could almost feel the elegance emanating from her body.

Wearing a coat, she walked into the hotel holding Huo Yunque’s arm.

As the protagonist of the day, Huo Ningxi had arrived early. He wore a very solemn white suit with a tie, giving him a youthful aura, like a prince.

He was the male lead of the original novel after all. In terms of appearance, he was indeed outstanding.

Song Yaoyao only took a quick glance at him before she averted her gaze.

On the other side, Huo Ningxi had already noticed them. He whispered something to the person beside him and walked towards them.

“Uncle.”

Huo Ningxi seemed to be very surprised. “I didn’t expect you to come to my engagement. I’m very happy.”

Huo Qi stepped forward with a smile and handed their present to the person beside him.

“Young Master, congratulations!”

Huo Yunque’s eyelids drooped. He paused for two seconds before he said flatly, “Congratulations.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”Huo Ningxi smiled even more happily. He turned his head and looked at Song Yaoyao. “Thank you too, Auntie.”

What?

Song Yaoyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Ningxi seriously for the first time.

Was he out of his mind? He was actually willing to call her Auntie?

“Go in first, I’ve already arranged the seats for you.”

Huo Ningxi led them in.

Huo Yunque’s arrival made the onlookers even more confused. Did the uncle and nephew of the Huo Family have a falling out, or did they not?

If they did not, then why did Huo Yunque kick Huo Ningxi out of the family business with such quick precision?

But if they did, why did he come to attend Huo Ningxi’s engagement ceremony?

“Mr. Huo, you’re early. I thought you wouldn’t come.”

When they entered, a voice interrupted them from the side. It was deep and husky. Even if there was a smile when it was spoken, people still did not like it.

A man in a suit walked over with a smile on his face. He was clearly talking to Huo Yunque, but his eyes were very quick as he scanned Song Yaoyao’s body.

Song Yaoyao frowned slightly and leaned closer to Huo Yunque.

His eyes were very flirtatious, as if they had materialized and were tracing her body.

“Gege,” Song Yaoyao tugged at the corner of Huo Yunque’s shirt and whispered, “I’ll go look for Huo Tianrou and the others first. I’ll look for you later.”

Huo Yunque narrowed his eyes and shook hands with Zhong Li. A few seconds later, he withdrew his hand.

“Okay, go.”

He gently tucked the hair on Song Yaoyao’s forehead behind her ear and pinched the back of her neck. “Be careful.”

“Okay…”

Song Yaoyao habitually rubbed her cheek against the back of his hand. Halfway through her action, she suddenly realized that there was an unlikeable person watching her.
