Chapter 364: Number One Priority

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Faced with Murong Chen’s many questions, Huo Yichen pursed his lips and thought for a moment before giving his answer very cautiously.

He looked at Murong Chen. “I’ll treat her better than anyone else.”

“It’s not driven by benefits. It’s just because I really like her.” Huo Yichen’s words were powerful.

He retracted his gaze and said what he was thinking under such circ.u.mstances.

Huo Yichen took a deep breath. “It’s true that I’m the heir to the Huo Family, but I don’t really listen to Huo Hong’s orders.”

“Although I’m still in school and the company I manage is far inferior to an existence like Shengjing Group,” he said honestly, “the Huo Family can’t restrict me. The direction of the company’s development has already been determined. After graduation, it won’t be long before there are results.”

It was clearly a weak situation, but when it came from Huo Yichen’s mouth, it was like a slowly unfolding grand plan, allowing him to paint a future scene for Murong Chen.

“You don’t have to worry about Huo Hong controlling me,” Huo Yichen suddenly said.

He seemed to have made a decision. “It’s more appropriate to say that from the beginning, I decided to return to the Huo Family… for Qiaoqiao.”

In order to be worthy of her.

This was also his original intention for agreeing to return to the Huo Family to be the heir. Huo Yichen had never forgotten this.

This sentence successfully dispelled Murong Chen’s remaining doubts and made him believe Huo Yichen a little.

“I only hope that the Huo Family’s matter doesn’t involve Qiaoqiao,” Murong Chen said after hearing him finish.

He looked at Huo Yichen steadily and naturally saw the sincerity in his eyes. He also knew in his heart that the other party was not lying.

After being in the business world for so many years, Murong Chen still knew how to tell if a person’s words were sincere.

Huo Yichen frowned. “1 promise.”

The powerful promise made Murong Chen’s expression improve a lot. However, he clearly still had his own considerations about the Huo Family.

“I believe your love is sincere.” Murong Chen relaxed a little. “But whether you can bring happiness to Qiaoqiao is another matter.”

He revealed a hint of approval, but he didn’t say too much.

Murong Chen’s fingertips landed on the table. The rhythmic knocking also drove the thoughts in his mind. His gaze swept past Huo Yichen, who did not look discouraged, and he was reluctantly satisfied with him.

“She’s the number one priority in my heart,” Huo Yichen replied.

Whether it was difficult or not, Huo Yichen’s feelings for Murong Qiao could withstand any test.

It was not the Huo Family or anything else. It was just Murong Qiao. She was the most important existence in his heart.

Murong Chen stared at him for so long that Huo Yichen thought that he was going to say something to him. Then, he saw Murong Chen suddenly laugh.

“Then we’ll have to wait for time to give an answer.” Murong Chen ended the topic lightly.

He was willing to give Huo Yichen a chance. He only hoped that the other party would not let him down.

The conversation in the study did not last long. However, the tense state of his heart made Huo Yichen feel as if a century had pa.s.sed.

When he came out of the study and planned to look for Murong Qiao, he did not expect to be intercepted halfway.

Just as he walked down the corridor and turned a corner, he saw the door of the room beside him half open. Then, someone suddenly appeared and pulled him in by the collar.

“What’s going on between you and Qiaoqiao? Who suggested to start dating first? When did you like her?”

A series of questions that seemed to want to knock someone out rushed towards Huo Yichen’s face.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down and looked at the person pulling him. He matched the other party’s straightforward and frowning appearance with Murong Qiao’s Fifth Brother, Xian Yu.

His personality was even more straightforward than he had expected, Huo Yichen evaluated in his heart.

Seeing that Huo Yichen didn’t answer, Xian Yu tugged at him again. “Tell me the truth!”

It was not easy for him to find an opportunity to secretly pull Huo Yichen to his room. He simply wanted to ask all his questions in one go.

“We dated for a year. I confessed first. It was a long time ago… I probably fell in love with her in high school.” Huo Yichen answered his question helplessly.

He endured the discomfort and looked down at Xian Yu’s hand that was still grabbing his collar. “So, can you let go?”

Being grabbed like this and not retaliating was already Huo Yichen’s greatest tolerance.

“Hmph.” Xian Yu snorted.

Seeing that Huo Yichen’s att.i.tude was so good, he did not make things difficult for him. After letting go of his collar, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and blocked the door tightly. It seemed like he had no intention of letting him leave.

“You had designs on her so long ago? You beast!” He cursed softly.

Xian Yu did not have the self-awareness to entertain guests well at all. He looked at Huo Yichen as if he was looking at an enemy, his face clearly guarded.

However, he had to admit that even in the entertainment industry that he had been in for a long time, Huo Yichen’s face was so good that others could not compare to it at all.

Huo Yichen naturally heard Xian Yu’s words. “1 only admired her at the time. I confessed to her after we went to university…”

He originally wanted to explain more clearly, but when he met Xian Yu’s gaze, he felt that his actions seemed to be defending himself, so he stopped halfway.

The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. It was better not to provoke this person.

“In that case, you’re progressing quite quickly? You even proposed.” Xian Yu gritted his teeth.

He was not blind. He had already seen the rings on Huo Yichen and his Little Sister’s hands when they first met today.

Huo Yichen could only agree. “I wanted to give Qiaoqiao a surprise on her birthday.”

Then, he honestly explained how he proposed and how many friends he invited. He even told Xian Yu which store he bought the ring from.

“And she agreed to it?” Xian Yu’s eyes widened.

After hearing Huo Yichen’s proposal process, Xian Yu felt even angrier.

On that birthday night, they were all asleep. Meanwhile, Little Sister happily accepted Huo Yichen’s proposal without anyone knowing. Most importantly, he was not even present!

After missing an important moment in his Little Sister’s life, Xian Yu wished he could find a time machine to send him back in time.

Huo Yichen nodded under Xian Yu’s sharp gaze and very rationally did not say anything else to anger Xian Yu.

Xian Yu narrowed his eyes and his gaze shifted to Huo Yichen’s face. He immediately thought of those celebrities in the entertainment industry who messed around.

Hence, he blurted out, “If you dare to betray Qiaoqiao and cheat on her, I’ll kill you.”

After all, he was in the entertainment industry and had seen all kinds of men and women.

Huo Yichen was so handsome. Xian Yu didn’t care if he was clean or not. Many girls would definitely stick to him. Xian Yu knew very well that men were playboys.

“I only like Qiaoqiao,” Huo Yichen emphasized solemnly.

It was clearly a promise that Xian Yu wanted to hear, but when he noticed the other party’s intimate address of his Little Sister, Xian Yu’s mood couldn’t help but worsen.

Xian Yu gritted his teeth and glared at him. “You’d better continue to be like this.”

“If I catch you making Qiaoqiao sad…”

Such a good sister had been stolen by Huo Yichen. No matter how Xian Yu thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.

“I won’t do such a thing,” Huo Yichen said firmly.

He didn’t say anything else, but this sentence landed in Xian Yu’s ears with an extremely serious att.i.tude..
