Chapter 504: Don’t Come Over!!

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Xian Yu returned with a wet towel and sat beside Murong Qiao.

Just as he opened the packaging, he felt two very straightforward and unconcealed gazes looking in his direction.

Xian Yu followed his senses and looked back, meeting the girl’s timid gaze and the boy’s vigilant gaze.

“…Big Brother?” Murong Qiao called him.

She saw Xian Yu suddenly stop and look over in confusion. She realized that Xian Yu was looking in a certain direction, so she followed his gaze.

But unlike Xian Yu, Murong Qiao looked over and frightened the little girl so much that she took a step back.

Murong Qiao touched her face strangely. Do I… look very fierce?

Then, before Murong Qiao and Xian Yu could react, she saw the slightly older boy pull the little girl and run away.

“I thought they knew you.” Xian Yu pondered.

Murong Qiao pushed him angrily and joked, “Fifth Brother, it’s more like they know a big star like you.”

At most, she had some fame as an author. She doesn’t even appear on television. How could she compare to Xian Yu’s popularity?

This time, Xian Yu didn’t reply. Instead, he reached out to help his Little Sister clean up the mud on her hair and face. There was no hurry to change her clothes later, but girls definitely liked to look beautiful.

While the siblings were sitting in a corner and slacking off, the second battle in the mud arena had just begun.

Lu Qizhi protected Sannas and faced Nan Jin and Ran Heng.

What was worth mentioning was that not only was Sannas completely unaware of the compet.i.tion, but he was even cowering and protecting his hair.

In the end, as soon as the referee shouted for the match to begin, Lu Qizhi fought one against two and defended his boss’s dignity with a bitter expression.

“Sannas: Don’t come over!!!”

“Ran Heng’s side: The ultimate attack is defense.”

“Wuwuwu, Nan Jin’s cold face is simply too s.e.xy… Quick, grow it out!! What a disappointing body!”

“Lu Qizhi, tragic.”

Image was Sannas’ greatest weakness, and it was the kind that was openly displayed in front of everyone.

Ran Heng didn’t have the habit of suffering, so he naturally wouldn’t spoil the other party. He immediately used all his strength to cooperate with Nan Jin.

After Nan Jin found out that the opponent he was matched with was not Murong Qiao, he used 120% of his strength.

Other than his Little Sister, he naturally had to prioritize the contract he had signed before coming. Nan Jin was still very aware of this.

“Have mercy! Have mercy ah ah ah—”

For a moment, the entire square was filled with Lu Qizhi’s wails.

As for Sannas, after his hair was smeared with mud, his eyes went blank and he sat paralyzed on the edge of the mud arena.

“Thinking about Life.jpg”

“On that day, Sannas lost what was most important to him. [Smoke]”

“Nan Jin is the number one in the world!!! Kekeke!”

“A strong female boss is really too awesome. Hehe, Big Sister, please look at me!!!”

The comments flowed for a moment. The number of comments increased exponentially, making the executive director’s mood improve.

After the first round ended, Nan Jin, Ran Heng, Xian Yu, Murong Qiao, Qin Huan and Du Guoqing were promoted.

The lot naturally had to be drawn again, but there was still a bye.

Under Nan Jin’s slightly nervous gaze, the two teams matched up this time were Nan Jin and Qin Huan.

Murong Qiao looked at the blank lot in her hand and waved at Xian Yu happily.

“As expected, your luck is better.” Xian Yu praised without thinking.

Murong Qiao’s face heated up. “No, Fifth Brother, your talent is elsewhere.”

The second round didn’t have anything to do with them, so Murong Qiao got up and walked around, looking at the environment of the village nearby.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still bright, she went to familiarize herself with the terrain to avoid getting lost when she went out these few days.

Most of the roads in the village were dirt roads that were very uncomfortable to step on. The uneven stones made one feel a little uncomfortable after taking a few steps.

Murong Qiao took a few steps to the side and nimbly jumped up to step on the small mud wall at the edge. From this height, she looked into the distance and saw the mountain peaks behind the village. From afar, it looked different.

She stared at it for a while before an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. Hence, she hurriedly took out her phone and started recording.

The phone screen lit up, allowing Murong Qiao to see several unread messages.

There were 12 from Huo Yichen, nine from An Nuo, and three from Yang Xin.

Murong Qiao’s eyebrows twitched. Only then did she remember that she had set off from home in the morning. From the moment she got into the van, she had only been focused on writing and reading doc.u.ments. She didn’t log into her social media account. Then, when she arrived at the village, the signal wasn’t good, so she didn’t remember to look at her cell phone.

She hurriedly typed a few messages to reply, but before she could send the messages, the screen turned black. It was a call from Huo Yichen.

“Ah Chen?” Murong Qiao picked up first. “I’m recording a show today…”

Her tone was a little awkward. She scratched her cheek and stared at the ground under her feet in embarra.s.sment.

After all, for the sake of filming a show, she had forgotten about her boyfriend. No matter how she thought about it, it was very…

“I know,” Huo Yichen replied softly.

At this moment, he was sitting in the President’s office, his gaze fixed on the computer screen in front of him.

If Ye Zhen saw that cold and silent expression, he would probably think that his President was looking at some confidential doc.u.ments.

However, what was playing on the screen was the live-stream of “Spring Breath Peachfield”. It occupied the entire screen and one could even see the dense barrage of comments floating past the top.

Murong Qiao was stunned when she heard the answer. “You know… Wait.”

“Ah Chen, don’t tell me you’re… watching the live-stream?” A bold guess appeared in her mind.

At the thought of Huo Yichen opening the live-stream and watching her “fighting” with Xian Yu in the mud…

Hiss, she finally understood what the netizens always meant by digging out a cave from awkwardness.

If it were her, digging out a seaside villa would not be a problem!

Huo Yichen nodded. “Ye Zhen saw it.”

The President pushed the blame to his a.s.sistant without any psychological pressure.

“That’s fine.” Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. “I saw the message you sent me just now. Are you going on a business trip?”

She had roughly seen it just now and only caught a glimpse of Huo Yichen reporting to her that he was going out for a few days to discuss a collaboration.

“Yes, take good care of yourself,” Huo Yichen admitted.

However, he originally wanted to have a meal with Murong Qiao before he left. Now, it seemed that he didn’t have the chance.

He was clearly the President of the Huo Corporation now, but seeing that his girlfriend seemed to be busier than him, he was caught between laughter and tears.

At this moment, Murong Qiao had also guessed it. She hurriedly took the initiative to ask guiltily, “Then I’ll look for you when I come back?”

“Alright, it’s settled then.”

Huo Yichen agreed and glanced at the time. “I have to go. There’s still half an hour before takeoff.”

“Alright.” Murong Qiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

This appearance attracted Xian Yu’s attention, but when he walked over, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s call had already been cut off.

“Why are you secretly here?” Xian Yu deliberately patted her shoulder from behind.

Murong Qiao was shocked. She turned around and widened her eyes. When she realized that it was Xian Yu, she relaxed her tense body.

“I was on the phone with Huo Yichen.” She mouthed to her Fifth Brother..
