“Thank you, Mom.”
“Of course. You promised me that you would live in peace after getting the shares. You won’t cause trouble for your second brother and third brother anymore. When the time comes, you have to sign it.”
“Alright, no problem.” Huo Zizhen replied with a smile, her attitude almost devout.
However, what could she do? The things that made Madam Yun’s heart ache would probably happen one after another.
The banquet at Deer Pavilion was a separate buffet. However, Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao didn’t show up. Instead, they went to Deer Pavilion Pier and booked a candlelit dinner on the beach. Lin Wanli had also heard from Mother Xu that Deer Pavilion was strictly controlled. It was vast and sparsely populated, but the scenery was beautiful and they could see grand fireworks. sne ana Huo Jiuxlao naa Deen togetner ror so long, Dut sne cnan’t seem to nave any romantic memories. Therefore, Little Sweet Wife spent a lot of money to treat Master Xiao to a luxurious meal on the beach. No matter what happened at the Xu family’s birthday banquet tomorrow, at least tonight had nothing to do with them.
There was only one dining table on the vast beach, but it was beautifully decorated. The entire place was wrapped in white gauze, but inside was an ocean of red roses. When Lin Wanli held Huo Jiuxiao’s hand and walked over, she couldn’t help but exclaim.
She had never been romantic before, but it turned out that romance was not bad.
Coupled with the fact that it was dusk and the ambiance lights were on, Lin Wanli smiled and thought to herself.
[No wonder women love these things.]
However, Master Xiao had no interest in the food on the table. He sat down on the sofa and pulled Lin Wanli over to sit on his body.
“I’m cold.” Master Xiao was shameless.
After saying that, he lifted Lin Wanli’s chin slightly and kissed her. At this moment, the sea breeze blew past, bringing with it a chill. In addition, the white veil floated and the fragrance of roses assailed his nostrils, so Huo Jiuxiao couldn’t help but deepen the kiss. Immediately after, fireworks lit up on the embankment not far from the two of them. It was grand and brilliant, instantly illuminating the night sky where the two of them were intimate.
After the kiss, Lin Wanli wrapped the two of them in a blanket and looked at Master Xiao to ask.
[Still cold?]
“What do you think?” Huo Jiuxiao’s expression was filled with lust. When he looked at Lin Wanli, he wished he could eat her up.
[But I’m hungry.]
“It’s okay. You eat, I eat you…”
The two of them were making use of the time to be romantic in the hotel, while Huo Shengyuan and Xu Wennuan were harboring ulterior motives in the Xu family. Tomorrow was a very important day for the two of them. However, after what had happened in the past two days, Huo Shengyuan could no longer be confident.
Mu Qingya was still angry at him, and Huo Shengyuan didn’t have the patience to coax her. In his opinion, this was Mu Qingya’s fault, and she was throwing a tantrum. This was completely inconsistent with her status as the daughter of a wealthy family. Besides, he was confident that he was the dominant figure in his relationship with Mu Qingya, so he believed that even if he didn’t coax her, Mu Qingya would obediently digest her emotions.
After Mu Qingya calmed down, she did think a lot. She knew that she had made many mistakes, so she wanted to reconcile with Huo Shengyuan. However, when she came out of the bathroom, she realized that Huo Shengyuan had left her alone in the dining room. Mu Qingya was even angrier. After bringing Huo Shengyuan back to his room, she questioned him. “Do you even treat me as your wife?”
“Of course, you are my only wife.”
“But why don’t I feel it? I’m angry, but you don’t even come to coax me. You left me alone for dinner?” Mu Qingya was so angry that she laughed. “Aren’t you being too self-righteous?”
“Qingya, we used to get along very well. Even if there were disputes and unhappiness, we could still calm down and make a decision that was beneficial to both sides.” Huo Shengyuan said calmly.
“That was in the past.” Mu Qingya felt like she was about to explode. “Forget it, I have nothing to say to you.”
After saying that, Mu Qingya dashed out of the door. She had planned to tell Huo Chengyuan about the pavilion and Su Yuanchao, but now it seemed that there was no need for that. It was also because she didn’t tell Huo Shengyuan about these two things that Huo Shengyuan would lose face at tomorrow’s birthday banquet.
However, didn’t he deserve it?
After Mu Qingya ran out of the room, she went to the dining room with tears in her eyes. She didn’t know where to go after that, so she hid in Xu Huiwen’s original room.
When Mother Xu passed by, she saw that the lights were on. She opened the door and walked in. She saw Mu Qingya in her daughter’s room, her eyes still red. She understood a little. “There are other guest rooms.”
“I’m sorry, Auntie. I just missed Huiwen and came over to take a look.” Mu Qingya hurriedly explained. Even at a time like this, she was still unwilling to let go of her self-esteem. She was even more unwilling to let outsiders see that she and Huo Shengyuan were quarreling. After all, who would want others to see that they were unhappy?
“Up to you then. Rest early.” Mother Xu didn’t insist and turned to leave.
Huo Shengyuan was not someone who would love his wife sincerely. In his eyes, any relationship was just a mutual exchange of benefits. She thought that Mu Qingya should have known this long ago. How could she still cry for such a cold-hearted person? She really couldn’t understand.
Then, she thought about Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao. The two of them were being romantic and intimate in the hotel. That was what a normal couple should be like. Of course, Mu Qingya wasn’t worthy of pity. She wasn’t worthy of sympathy for her pride and vanity. Since it was all for benefits, who was she pretending to be affectionate for?
How lamentable.
Who knew what kind of big scene these two pitiful people would cause tomorrow..
