Huo Xiuyuan smiled with satisfaction as he watched Jiang Weiyang cling to Huo Yichen.

It was worth it for him to reveal so much information about Huo Yichen to Jiang Weiyang.

As long as she delayed him for a while longer, he would have more time to interact with Murong Qiao.

“Excuse me.” Huo Xiuyuan casually shook off the girl beside him.

These heiresses were not as important as Murong Qiao. As long as he could get her help, Huo Yichen was nothing.

Huo Xiuyuan’s eyes darkened when he thought about the power that the Murong family represented.

He walked towards the entrance of the archery range, planning to wait for Murong Qiao to come. He was pa.s.sing by a young master with a female companion.

Huo Xiuyuan recognized that person. He was one of the famous silkpants, Guan Zhuo.

“Thank you for bringing me here, Guan Zhuo.” Feng Xinyao smiled gently.

Feng Xinyao hadn’t received an invitation to Jiang Weiyang’s banquet at all. When she heard that Huo Yichen would come, she had no choice but to think of a way to get in.

Guan Zhuo pretended to be generous. “It’s alright, we’re friends.”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Feng Xinyao’s beautiful face, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

If not for the fact that she had some relationship with the Murong family and was considered pretty, Guan Zhuo would not have helped her.

“Then I’ll go and greet my friends first,” Feng Xinyao suggested.

Now that she was at the banquet, Guan Zhuo was useless.

Guan Zhuo didn’t mind. “Alright, call me if you need anything.”

In any case, Feng Xinyao still had to look for him when she wanted to leave.

The moment Feng Xinyao heard his words, she couldn’t wait to walk towards the other side. Her gaze was even searching for Huo Yichen in the crowd.

It was not that she did not see Huo Xiuyuan just now, but one was a nephew and the other was the legitimate heir. Feng Xinyao did not fancy Huo Xiuyuan at all.

Moreover, she was certain that Huo Xiuyuan was not good enough for her. Only Huo Yichen could make her the future mistress of the Huo family.

“You’re very strong. 1 just want to compete…”

Finally, Feng Xinyao found Huo Yichen in a corner.

However, it couldn’t be a coincidence that someone beat her to it.

Jiang Weiyang.

Feng Xinyao looked at the girl standing beside Huo Yichen and couldn’t help but feel a little jealous and unhappy. However, her face flashed with a standard and polite smile.

“Young Miss Jiang.” She took the initiative to greet her.

Jiang Weiyang turned to look at Feng Xinyao, who was obviously walking towards her. She was sure that she was not familiar with her.

Feng Xinyao smiled as if the two of them were very close. “We talked about archery at the banquet last time.”

“Then it seems that your skills are not bad?” Jiang Weiyang pretended to be cordial.

Her att.i.tude was completely different from how she was when she talked to Huo Yichen. Feng Xinyao felt a lump in her throat.

She smiled and went to Jiang Weiyang’s side. Her eyes seemed to inadvertently look at Huo Yichen. When she saw the sharp lines on his side profile and the arrow in his hand, her heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, she did not lose her composure and put away her thoughts to go to Jiang Weiyang’s side.

Feng Xinyao shook her head. “How can I compare to you, Young Miss Jiang? I really don’t have that talent.”

Jiang Weiyang naturally raised her chin at the flattery, and a trace of pride could not help but appear on her face.

She had been praised since she was young, so she did not lose her composure because of Feng Xinyao’s words. However, her gaze still subconsciously swept in Huo Yichen’s direction, wanting to see his reaction.

However, it was as if Huo Yichen was deaf. He turned a deaf ear to their conversation and did not react.

He didn’t even spare Jiang Weiyang a glance.

She bit her lip in anger and took a step towards Huo Yichen. “So, do you agree to compete with me?”

Huo Yichen frowned when he heard her angry tone.

Although she liked him, she could not suppress her pampered character. It only made people feel that she was too willful.

“Excuse me,” Huo Yichen refused.

Jiang Weiyang alone was enough to make him suffer. Looking at Feng Xinyao standing beside him, Huo Yichen had no intention of staying any longer.

Perhaps it was because he put down his bow and arrow and turned to leave so quickly that Jiang Weiyang and Feng Xinyao did not react in time.

Just as Huo Yichen was leaving, a car drove over.

The black car stopped at the entrance of the archery range. Murong Qiao slowly got out of the car.

As the banquet was not very formal and was more inclined to leisure, she only wore a dress.

It was worth mentioning that this dress was one of the dresses that Fourth Brother had given her previously. It was styled to show off the graceful curves of her body. Just a slight outline of the skirt was enough to make her look exceptionally good.

Murong Qiao walked in briskly. At the thought of seeing Huo Yichen inside, she couldn’t help but be excited.

However, there were always blind people who loved to ruin her good mood.

“Young Miss Murong.” Huo Xiuyuan saw the person he was waiting for from afar.

When he saw Murong Qiao walking towards the door, he took the initiative to show his presence.

Murong Qiao stopped in her tracks. Because Huo Xiuyuan was blocking the middle of the door, she had no choice but to stop.

She turned around and felt frustrated when she saw the person who spoke.

Murong Qiao’s eyes were cold, but she couldn’t force her way past him. She could only look at Huo Xiuyuan.

“Excuse me.” She couldn’t be bothered to say please.

Murong Qiao did not like the schemer who caused Huo Yichen’s accident at all.

Huo Xiuyuan’s perfect smile froze for a moment. He keenly sensed that Murong Qiao seemed to dislike him.

Before he could think about why, he subconsciously stood to the side to make way for Murong Qiao.

Huo Xiuyuan smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Young Miss Murong. Perhaps I offended you in some way?”

A suitable look of doubt appeared on his face.

“I just don’t like you,” Murong Qiao snapped back.

Her tone was honest, with an indescribable sincerity.

It was as if she was sincerely following Huo Xiuyuan’s question and speaking her mind.

Huo Xiuyuan was puzzled, but when he met Murong Qiao’s “sincere” gaze, he was so aggrieved that he could not say anything.

Murong Qiao was going to look for Huo Yichen. She couldn’t be bothered with him and was about to leave.

However, Huo Xiuyuan finally caught up to her. “If I’ve made you unhappy, why don’t I do something to make it up to you?”

He followed and walked beside Murong Qiao, attracting a lot of attention.

Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and told herself that this was a social event and that she couldn’t go overboard.

However, Huo Xiuyuan was too annoying and stuck to her like sticky candy.

“There’s no need.” Murong Qiao rejected immediately.

Her gaze fell on the archery area around her, looking for Huo Yichen.

Huo Xiuyuan was embarra.s.sed by Murong Qiao’s repeated rejections, especially when he walked into the range and was noticed by so many people.

It made him even more resentful of Murong Qiao for not knowing what was good for her.

At this moment, Huo Xiuyuan still did not know that Murong Qiao, who was in front of him, knew about his part in the car accident. He even wanted to please Murong Qiao and consolidate his position in Huo Hong’s heart.

Seeing that Murong Qiao was looking at the archery area, he perked up again.

“I have some experience in archery.” Huo Xiuyuan casually picked up the bow and arrow beside him. “If you’re interested, why don’t I teach you?”

Huo Xiuyuan pretended to be handsome and shot an arrow in front of Murong Qiao in one go.

Especially when he saw the arrow hit the ninth ring, Huo Xiuyuan could not help but be satisfied with his performance.

However, Murong Qiao was not interested at all. She looked away and didn’t pay attention to Huo Xiuyuan’s results..
