Chapter 641: Unsolvable Question

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao’s condition at the scene personally, she could feel that the two of them had a good relationship, and she felt much more at ease.

It was good to let her Little Sister give up early.

The path paved with small stones did make Murong Qiao, who was wearing high heels, feel a little uncomfortable, but she was still a guest in someone else’s house.

“The garden is filled with the flowers that Sofia likes…” Mira walked in front and introduced to the two of them.

Originally, every princess owns a portion of the garden. However, because of

Sofia’s favor and the fact that the others had gradually grown up, they simply doted on her and gave the entire garden to Sofia.

The garden in the palace was naturally taken care of by professionals, so it was pleasing to the eye from afar.

However, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but be surprised to see a sea of flowers

but no roses.

“Why don’t I see any roses?” she asked casually.

When she was at the Murong Residence, Murong Qiao had seen that fiery red the most, so she couldn’t help but make connections now.

Sofia frowned and said unhappily, “I’m allergic to roses.

She wasn’t making this up. With Sofia’s personality, she naturally wouldn’t dislike beautiful flowers like roses. It was just that because of her health, she couldn’t make the garden bright.

“Sofia has been weak since she was young,” Mira explained with a smile.

When she said this, there was an imperceptible bitterness. This was because Mila had compromised too much for her Little Sister’s body since she was young.

The others were the same.

Murong Qiao held Huo Yichen’s hand and gently hooked her fingertips in his palm, indicating for him to walk slower. Her high heels were a little high, and she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable after walking for a long time.

The meticulous Mila quickly noticed this. “Young Miss Murong doesn’t look very well. Why don’t I bring you to change into another pair of shoes?” “The road here is indeed not easy to walk on. In addition, you’ve been out for a long time. As a host, I was a little careless.

Mila looked apologetic. “There’s a room right next to the garden. I’ll get someone to get the shoes immediately.

“Then… thank you.” Murong Qiao agreed.

This stone path was really too torturous. It would have been fine if she had walked for a day, but the stones were uneven. Her feet were hurting slightly now. She didn’t need to look to know that they were red from the friction.

Seeing that Murong Qiao had agreed to her request, Mira was immediately delighted and secretly gestured to Sofia.

Sofia naturally understood. She had been following at the side, waiting for this opportunity.

Huo Yichen was about to follow when Sofia suddenly reached out and pulled

him back.

At this moment, Murong Qiao had already left with Mira. She couldn’t turn around, so she naturally didn’t see Sofia’s bold move.

“Wait,” she said to Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen frowned and freed his sleeve from the other party’s hand. “Men and women can’t touch each other.”

Sofia, who had lived in Country X since she was young, had never heard this ancient saying from another country, but she also sensed Huo Yichen’s silent rejection of her.

“I’m sorry, I just wanted to chat with you.” Sofia hurriedly smiled in embarra.s.sment.

It was not easy for them to be alone, and the garden was beside them. When Sofia and the others came, they even specially asked the servants not to disturb them.

Everything was perfect.

However, Huo Yichen’s silence was unacceptable to Sofia, so she took the initiative to speak again.

“It seems like you haven’t taken the initiative to look at me since we met.” Sofia touched the gorgeous princess dress she was wearing. “Could it be that you… Do you think I’m not beautiful?”

She deliberately revealed some vulnerability, wanting to arouse the protectiveness in the man’s bones.

However, that protective desire already had an exclusive owner, so Huo Yichen’s attention and thoughts wouldn’t move for her.

“You can ask someone else about this.” Huo Yichen completely ignored her words.

He didn’t know where Mira had brought Murong Qiao, so he could only wait here.

“But…” Sofia was dissatisfied.

But she had specially dressed up for Huo Yichen.

Thinking about how she had chosen for so long and paid attention to all kinds of details, and now Huo Yichen didn’t even look at her, Sofia felt even more upset.

“I just want your answer, Huo Yichen.” Sofia mustered her courage and walked up to Huo Yichen.

She was very good at making use of her conditions. With her grayish-blue eyes that seemed to be able to accommodate all the stars and seas, she met Huo Yichen’s lowered gaze affectionately and intently.

She was reserved but bold. Her words clearly pointed at Huo Yichen and she leaned in front of him to do this. Her meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

The deliberate distance between them made it seem as if the feeling of the two of them looking at each other had become different. Feeling the restraint of her heart beating faster in her chest, Sofia couldn’t help but blush.

Huo Yichen took a step back without hesitation, dispersing the ambiguous atmosphere that Sofia had specially created. At the same time, he completely avoided the other party’s thoughts.

He looked up at Sofia and replied slowly and firmly.

“There’s no solution to this question.”

The flowers were beautiful and fragrant under the bright weather, but no one appreciated such a beautiful scenery. They bloomed there alone and quietly pa.s.sed their flowering period.

After Murong Qiao followed Mira around to an empty room, the shoes were immediately sent over.

However, Murong Qiao’s observation skills were sharp. She could tell at a glance that Mira, who had brought her over, was not thinking about this at all. “You’re thinking about your sister?” Murong Qiao took the initiative to start the conversation.

Mila was shocked. “Is… is it that obvious?”

“You’ve been looking out of the window.” Murong Qiao pointed out the most obvious characteristic.

She was sitting beside Mira. It was difficult to ignore her.

Moreover…

Thinking of Sofia and Huo Yichen staying where they were, Murong Qiao felt that the princess gave her a bad feeling.

This was a woman’s intuition.

“Perhaps I’m subconsciously worried about my Little Sister. When she’s not in my line of sight, I’ll think more.” Mira hid her thoughts.

She couldn’t help but wonder how her Little Sister and Mr. Huo were doing in the garden.

Moreover, helping her Little Sister “pursue love” like this couldn’t help but cause Mila to feel a lot of guilt, especially when she was facing the other party s fiancee alone.

“I’m done. Let’s go.”

As Murong Qiao spoke, she was about to get up when Mira suddenly grabbed her wrist and brought her back to sit down.

“Let’s—let’s wait a little longer,” Mira said.

She looked around and finally landed on Murong Qiao’s slightly red feet. “Your feet need to be treated too. Otherwise, you’ll definitely feel even worse when you go back.”

She seemed to have found a legitimate reason. Then, she called a servant over to get the spray and some other things.

Murong Qiao naturally could tell that she didn’t mean it. “Princess Mira, you really don’t know how to hide things.”

Everything was clearly written on her face. Even if she didn’t tell her the answer clearly, Murong Qiao felt that she had an answer at hand when she thought of Sofia.

“I—” Mira touched her face.

Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows and looked out of the window hke Mira. Unfortunately, the window was made of translucent gla.s.s, so it could only show a blurry scene.

It was not that she was in a hurry. Murong Qiao sat and watched the servant spray the disinfectant on her wound, feeling rather relaxed.

She trusted Huo Yichen..
