Other than feeling envious, what else could Mu Jing say?
He silently turned his head to look at his wife. “Wifey, I want to…”
“Hmm?” Xia Rao raised her eyebrows as she held back a smile. “Do you want to change your wife?”
“Cough, no, no, no! I don’t want to!”
He looked toward the stage. The girl had just jumped into the man’s arms. She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she said something to him. Her smile was like a flower, and her eyes were as bright as the stars.
The scene was as beautiful as a painting.
Snap, Snap…
Xu Yue took a series of photos and calmly put her phone back into her pocket.
Mu Jing suspected that Huo Yunque had saved the galaxy in his previous life. He was old, uninteresting, and he was always cold, yet he could actually find such a cute and ethereal girlfriend.
How did he achieve this? With his face?
He had no idea that he had actually guessed correctly.
The so-called love-at-first-sight was mostly lust.
What he didn’t expect was that the first one to lust was Song Yaoyao.
Grandfather Huo appeared beside Huo Ningxi out of nowhere. He put his hands together and looked at the man and woman hugging each other happily.
Huo Ningxi tilted his head and saw the familiar face.
It felt as if a lifetime had passed since he last saw Grandfather Huo at the Huo Manor.
He knew that Grandfather Huo did not like to stay at home ever since Grandma passed away. Previously, it was because of Grandfather Shen that he decided to stay at the hospital, but apparently, Grandfather Shen had been discharged, so there was indeed no need for him to stay there anymore.
“Grandfather…” Huo Ningxi lowered his eyes and muttered.
“Huh? Ningxi, what have you been busy with recently? You don’t even come to the hospital to see me anymore.”
Elder Huo patted his shoulder and smiled kindly.
Huo Ningxi pursed his lips. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the girl who was hugging the man in the distance. It was as if she owned the whole world.
However, in Huo Ningxi’s eyes, it was as if everything had fallen apart. From then on, nothing would be attractive to him again.
Elder Huo understood. He sighed and said, “Ningxi, you have to learn to let go.”
Huo Ningxi had heard this from countless people. However, when he heard it from Elder Huo again, he still wanted to laugh.
The truth was, he had already tried it. His laughter was worse than crying. “Grandfather, if it was so easy to let go, there wouldn’t be so many lovesick men and women in the world.”
“Ningxi, you’ve hit a dead end.”
Elder Huo shook his head. He narrowed his eyes as if he was immersed in some kind of memory. After a long time…he smiled and said, “Sometimes, fate only lasts for a moment. Maybe the two of you were fated in the beginning. Unfortunately, you let it go. Ningxi, you didn’t hold onto her, so even if you regret it now, you can’t blame anyone else.”
“But…” Huo Ningxi’s eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they cracked. He gritted his teeth like a cornered beast. “But why my uncle?”
Song Yaoyao could be with any man, but why his uncle?
Why the man who was so high up that he could only look up to him and never reach in this lifetime? He stood so high up that no one could surpass him.
And he snatched his woman away from his arms.
Grandfather Huo looked at him and shook his head in disappointment.
“Ningxi, the Huo Family allows failure, but we don’t allow complaining after failure.”
He looked at Huo Yunque and Song Yaoyao again and walked towards the greenhouse with his hands behind his back. His deep voice was mixed with wind, making it hard to hear clearly.
