Chapter 21: Saying Goodbye to Huo Yichen

"Aren"t you going to tell him? That kid asked about you when you weren"t here these past two days. Unfortunately, I don"t know the reason either. Although the two of you usually don"t talk much, I"m not blind. The two of you clearly know each other. Are you chasing after that kid?"

Nan Qiao was surprised that Huo Yichen had taken the initiative to ask about her situation. She did not listen to the rest of his words at all, so she nodded.

"Go and talk to him. Look at how compatible the two of you are. I hope you two can get married soon." The boss gestured with an ambiguous gaze. Someone from the kitchen came to look for the boss, and he could only leave first.

Nan Qiao was stunned when she heard the last sentence.

What was going on?

However, Nan Qiao still went to greet Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen entered the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Nan Qiao followed.

She said, "I won"t be working here anymore."

Huo Yichen only paused for a slight moment, so fast that the naked eye could barely register it.

He did not respond.

"Something happened to my family recently, so I didn"t come here to work and won"t come again in the future. But we"re still friends, right?"

Huo Yichen"s slender and beautiful fingers were washed away by the water. He tilted his head, his eyes filled with mischief.

"Who"s your friend?"

Nan Qiao smiled and said, "Aren"t we friends? After all, it"s been some time since we"ve known each other. Moreover, we"ve even seen each other"s parents before."

The girl stuck out her tongue playfully and joked with Huo Yichen. Her high ponytail fluttered along with her swing. She looked very lively.

Initially, Huo Yichen wanted to answer her, but when he thought about how she might be teasing other men in the same way…

His eyes darkened and ignored her.

"Huo Yichen, are you really ignoring me? Then I"ll be leaving?"

"Hurry up and leave. Don"t get in the way," Huo Yichen said with a bored expression. His long legs stretched over Nan Qiao and he pa.s.sed by her, taking away a breeze and leaving behind his lingering warmth.

Nan Qiao bit her lip, her face red. It was unknown if it was because she was angry.

The corners of her eyes were a little red. Was this person"s heart made of steel? They were colleagues for so many days and he still treated her so coldly.

Bye then!

Nan Qiao turned around to leave the coffee shop.

The plate in Huo Yichen"s hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Huo Yichen squatted down to clean up. "Boss, I"m sorry. You can deduct it from my salary."

The boss only clicked his tongue a few times and did not say anything.

He stood at the side and stared at Huo Yichen with a wicked smile.

This kid had been here for a long time and had never made a mistake before.

Now that Nan Qiao was leaving, he actually broke a plate.

And he was still pretending, trying to hurt the little girl"s heart.

When Murong Chen saw her walking over from afar, he hurriedly got out of the car to welcome her.

However, when he saw that she looked like a withered eggplant, he asked with concern, "What"s wrong? Why did you make yourself unhappy?"

Nan Qiao composed herself and smiled. "It"s nothing. Let"s go home."

"Alright, go home with Big Brother."

Murong Chen held Nan Qiao"s hand and walked to the car. When the a.s.sistant saw this scene, he clicked his tongue in wonder.

In the past, the President could not stand women at all. Who would have thought that the President would actually dote on his sister so much?

They had to hold hands even when they were crossing the street. He completely treated the Eldest Miss like a child.

As soon as they opened the house door, Nan Qiao was welcomed with a huge wave of fragrance. The 12-meter-long table was filled with food again. There was Western and Chinese cuisine this time. There were all kinds of specialties, including fruits and snacks. There were enough dishes to open a snack street.

Her brother placed his hands on Nan Qiao"s shoulders and bent down to ask her, "What does the little princess want to eat tonight?"

Nan Qiao choked on her own saliva and coughed twice.

"I, there"s no need to go this far. I can eat anything."

"No, you"re the little princess of our Murong Family now. You"re no longer the pitiful girl from the Nan Family of the past. You definitely have to eat what you like."

"But…"

Wasn"t this too luxurious?

This was simply a buffet at home!

Nan Qiao then proceeded to choose her favorite food.

After dinner, she went upstairs to do her homework. It was not dark yet, so she planned to sit on the balcony and do her homework.

Pressing the remote control, the antique balcony was completely retracted, turning into a completely bright floor-to-ceiling gla.s.s window.

She took in the beautiful scenery downstairs and opened the window. A faint fragrance of flowers wafted into Nan Qiao"s nose.

Downstairs was a huge flower bed filled with all kinds of flowers. The closest was a large area of roses.

The smell of roses was naturally stronger.

Doing homework in such an environment made Nan Qiao"s mood improve.

In another room decorated in black and white, Murong Chen sat in front of the computer as if he was checking some information.

The content displayed on the computer"s search bar was:

What things should a boyfriend do for his girlfriend?

As soon as he searched it, he found a long article. Murong Chen read it with relish and memorized it in his mind. He was even more serious than when he was in school.

As long as he remembered all of this, he could do whatever other men could for his sister. This way, his sister would not be so easily tricked away by other men.

At night, Nan Qiao had already returned to her room and turned on the lights. The light was so bright that even if a needle fell to the ground, it could be seen at a glance.

The entire room was lit up without any blind spots, as if it was daytime.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door, and she replied crisply, "Please come in."

It was Murong Chen who entered. Murong Chen was holding a tray with a bowl on it.

"Qiaoqiao, are you hungry? I"m here to bring you supper. I saw that you didn"t eat much tonight and so I made porridge for you. Try it and see how it tastes."

Her brother carried the bowl to Nan Qiao hopefully.

Nan Qiao took a mouthful and smiled as expected. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into small crescents, revealing her clean teeth. "It"s very delicious. I like it very much. Thank you, Big Brother."

Murong Chen: "!"

He felt as if his heart had been struck by something just now.

His sister was so sweet!

If such a sweet sister was kidnapped by someone else, he would be sad for a long time.

Murong Chen took out a rose from somewhere and gave it to Nan Qiao.

"This is for our little princess. I hope she can sleep well tonight."

Nan Qiao took a sniff. "It smells so good. Thank you, Big Brother."

"Then rest early after you finish your homework. Call me if you need anything. Goodnight, Little Princess."

"Alright, goodnight, Big Brother." Nan Qiao held the rose with a smile on her lips. The rose was placed under her nose. When she lowered her eyes to smell it, the hair on her temples hung down gently and landed on both sides of her face.

Murong Chen only felt that his sister was so gentle and cute now. He really wanted to pinch her tender face.

Such a cute sister, the Nan family actually had the heart to bully her!
