Chapter 410.’ The Highest Romance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In short, An Nuo and Ruan Ying had s.n.a.t.c.hed Murong Qiao away for lunch. Although it was called s.n.a.t.c.hing, Murong Qiao actually had no objections to this. She even indulged the two of them in planning their actions.

It was too sinful to reject other people’s kindness.

“Just don’t read those comments online. They’re too… bad.” Ruan Ying held it in for a long time before this adjective popped out.

Murong Qiao tapped her forehead with her fingertips in amus.e.m.e.nt and said helplessly, “I’m really not affected.”

“I know.” Ruan Ying took a bite of the small cake she had bought. She said eloquently, “I’m just making myself feel a little ritualistic.” “Actually, I originally imagined that you would be comforted by An Nuo and me, and then cry and hug each other…” From Ruan Ying’s tone, she seemed to be a little regretful.

Murong Qiao looked at her in a speechless manner. “What nonsense television drama did you watch again?”

It was not her fault that she said that. It was because after Ruan Ying found out that An Nuo was an actress and Murong Qiao was the boss of an entertainment company, she said that she wanted to know more about the two of them.

In the end, she found a list of recommended dramas and her thoughts became strange.

An Nuo glanced at Ruan Ying. “It’s most likely a melodrama. She seemed to have sent me a link to complain the day before yesterday.”

Ruan Ying had good intentions, but her taste in dramas… Forget it.

“Hmph.” Ruan Ying took a fierce bite out of An Nuo’s favorite cake.

An Nuo still had to manage her figure. She was not as brazen as Ruan Ying and Murong Qiao. Fortunately, she controlled the amount of dessert she bought at the beginning and didn’t waste any food in the end.

This afternoon was probably the most relaxing time for Murong Qiao.

As she shopped in the afternoon under the bright sunlight, she was surrounded by the occasional noisy voices of An Nuo and Ruan Ying. She didn’t have to think about the company doc.u.ments and school curriculum that could crush her. She felt light-headed.

“I think this yellow one looks very good. It’s so cute.”

“The clear blue color is more beautiful! It’s white and easy to match with other colors, and the texture is high-end…”

The waistline of this piece is so well retracted. It’s simply tailor-made. If I don’t buy it, the heavens won’t tolerate it!”

“Speaking of which, the cheongsam next door is quite good-looking. Why don’t we go take a look…?”

An Nuo and Ruan Ying occasionally argued over a piece of clothing. Although they would buy it in the end, it didn’t stop them from arguing about each other’s sense of aesthetics.

In the end, Murong Qiao was caught between laughter and tears as she looked at the countless clothes the two of them had chosen for her and left the mall. The sky gradually turned from blue to orange’. The afternoon was still short, but more than half of it had been consumed by shopping.

It was rare for the three of them to stop shopping. They found a famous and beautiful park nearby and sat on a chair to watch the sunset in the distance.

“I’ve never been so happy before,” Ruan Ying said first.

When she was m the Ruan Family, Ruan Ying was always protected and looked after by everyone. Although she was doted on, the Ruan Family’s parents valued her safety more than anything else.

Ruan Ying often felt a little breathless, but today, when she went shopping with An Nuo and Murong Qiao and queued up to buy snacks, it made her feel novel and happy.

Murong Qiao reached out and ruffled her hair. “Then we can come a few more times in the future.”

“I agree too,” An Nuo said.

An Nuo held Murong Qiao’s arm and leaned her head on Murong Qiao’s shoulder. She was relaxed and comfortable.

The three of them sandwiched Murong Qiao. An Nuo and Ruan Ying sat on both sides, sticking close to Murong Qiao.

Perhaps because they were tired, the three of them didn’t speak after chatting for a while.

They watched as the sun slowly set from the horizon and was covered by the tall buildings in the distance. Only a thin and warm yellow light could be seen through the gap. The refracted light was beautiful and not too dazzling.

The park also gradually quietened down from its playfulness. Even their moods calmed down, as if they were enjoying a short period of time that belonged to them alone.

“Then what are you going to do tonight?” Murong Qiao asked.

At the mention of night, An Nuo and Ruan Ying were strangely silent.

An Nuo spoke first. “…Tonight… I have some arrangements.”

“I’ll talk about tonight’s plans tonight,” Ruan Ying added.

Murong Qiao sensed their vague words. “What’s going on?”

She sensed that there was something wrong with An Nuo and Ruan Ying’s expressions, but her attention was attracted by the familiar and calm voice coming from behind.

“Qiaoqiao.”

Murong Qiao turned around and fixed her gaze on the person who called out to her.

Huo Yichen, who should have been busy in the company and immersed in doc.u.ments, appeared in front of her like a miracle.

Before Murong Qiao could even think of what to say, she got up and hugged the other party.

“Aren’t you…” She looked up at Huo Yichen hesitantly.

Huo Yichen smiled. “There’s nothing much going on at the company today.”

He didn’t know how long he had spent rushing his work to free up this night.

Ruan Ying and An Nuo had already quietly left and didn’t disturb the sweet time that belonged to the two of them. This was because the two of them had agreed at the beginning to look for Huo Yichen to give Murong Qiao a surprise. Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen to sit down. “I was wondering why Ruan Ying and An Nuo were behaving so strangely just now.”

She smiled and understood the situation.

“How’s your cooperation with my brother recently? He didn’t make things difficult for you, right?” Murong Qiao asked again.

If not for the fact that she was afraid that her Big Brother would be jealous, Murong Qiao really wanted to ask her Big Brother about Huo Yichen’s recent situation.

Now that her Big Brothers were not around, Murong Qiao decisively sided with Huo Yichen.

“It’s nothing. It went quite smoothly.” Huo Yichen smiled. “Or rather, it’s because the collaboration went smoothly that even Huo Hong has become less vigilant recently.”

After all, he was half a brother-in-law. After seeing Huo Yichen’s outstanding ability, Murong Chen didn’t want to make things difficult for him. Instead, he was very accommodating in terms of cooperation. It could be said that there were no problems between the two sides.

When the company’s spies relayed this situation to Huo Hong, the other party naturally thought that Murong Chen was very satisfied with Huo Yichen.

He had not forgotten why he had sent Huo Yichen to Murong Chen in the beginning. Now that he knew that Murong Chen was satisfied with Huo Yichen, Huo Hong looked forward to his son’s performance even more.

“It’s a pity that I can’t relax yet. I still have to go back after spending the night with you. Huo Hong has been looking for me very often these past few days,” Huo Yichen said indifferently.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with calling his father by his name.

Or rather, he had never treated Huo Hong like a father. Other than the fact that the other party had given birth to him, Huo Yichen felt that he was no different from a stranger.

Ever since he returned to the Huo Family, he had already endured a lot. Even a wolf should bare its fangs. Now that he had stepped into the company and started to seize control of the power, Huo Yichen began to implement his plan. Murong Qiao only listened to Huo Yichen quietly and didn’t find it annoying. She even asked questions from time to time. When she heard Huo Yichen explain to her seriously, she felt her empty heart gradually fill up.

Even just sitting together and chatting like this made Murong Qiao feel satisfied.

“Speaking of which, I’ve been very busy recently. There’s a lot of work waiting for me to deal with in the company. Recently, I have to follow the production team for filming. Fortunately, the female lead actress is very smart,” Murong Qiao couldn’t help but say.

It was rare for her to say so much, but when she faced Huo Yichen, countless topics popped up from her mouth.

Murong Qiao roughly understood why the desire to share was the highest level of romance..
