Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yichen’s sudden appearance added color to the silent night, making Murong Qiao’s mood much brighter.

According to the original plan, An Nuo and Ruan Ying even suggested asking Huo Yichen to bring Murong Qiao anywhere to play. However, Murong Qiao looked at the dark eye circles caused by Huo Yichen’s exhaustion and finally decided not to go anywhere.

“Where do you want to go?” Huo Yichen asked her with a smile.

The surroundings were so quiet that it was as if only the two of them were left. When Murong Qiao heard Huo Yichen’s voice, her heart strangely calmed down.

She thought for a moment. “This place isn’t far from my house. Why don’t we walk back?”

In the afternoon, she played a little crazily with Ruan Ying and An Nuo, and Murong Qiao was tired.

“Alright.” Huo Yichen agreed readily.

He stood up first, then reached out and pulled Murong Qiao up with him. He didn’t forget to put a coat on her.

It was night after all. It was not good to fall sick from the cold.

Huo Yichen watched as Murong Qiao put a coat on her and helped her zip up her collar. Then, he naturally held Murong Qiao’s hand and placed it in his pocket to cover it.

Her cold fingertips were warmed by this action. Murong Qiao felt the warmth from their interlocked fingers and couldn’t help but clench her fists tighter.

She leaned against Huo Yichen and said in a light tone, “We’re about to be in our fourth year.”

“I feel like time has pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.” Murong Qiao smiled and sighed.

Huo Yichen turned his head to look at her. His gaze was focused and gentle, as if he was infected by Murong Qiao’s smile. He smiled as well.

He continued, “I feel that time is too slow. I can’t wait to marry you and bring you home immediately.”

He was loyal to his thoughts, but he saw Murong Qiao blush because of these words.

Murong Qiao laughed out loud. “If I heard your words when I was in high school a few years ago, I would probably think that I was dreaming.”

Such a cold person was now holding her hand and saying that he wanted to marry her. No matter how she thought about it, this future was very surprising.

“…That’s a good dream,” Huo Yichen said seriously.

“Unfortunately, I can’t do it yet. I still need time with the Huo Family.” At the mention of the Huo Family, Huo Yichen’s brows that had just relaxed couldn’t help but furrow again. “I’m sorry, I still need you to wait a little longer.”

Huo Hong was very vigilant. If he was not fully prepared to take down the other party in one fell swoop, Huo Yichen would not dare to take over the power easily.

This was a battle that he could not lose, and he could not afford the price.

“Don’t. How can you s.n.a.t.c.h my words?” Murong Qiao smiled and changed the serious topic. “I wanted to say that my company hasn’t risen yet. Aren’t you the one waiting for me?”

Her teasing and jokes diluted the melancholy in Huo Yichen’s heart.

Hence, he raised his hand and stroked Murong Qiao’s black and smooth hair. “No.”

He looked at Murong Qiao’s bright smile and recalled the comments he had seen on the Internet about Three Thousand Realms and Moon G.o.ddess. His eyes darkened and he tightened his grip.

But when his finger moved, Huo Yichen touched the ring on Murong Qiao’s finger.

Ever since she confessed her relationship with her Big Brothers, Murong Qiao had kept this ring on his finger openly. It was also as if she was declaring his sovereignty to the others who pursued her.

For a moment, Huo Yichen’s thoughts were taken away by the ring. When he came back to his senses, he had already subconsciously walked to the gate of the Murong family’s house.

“I’m sorry.” Huo Yichen couldn’t help but feel a little vexed.

They had finally met, but they didn’t speak much.

However, Murong Qiao didn’t reply. She only tiptoed and gently pecked his cheek, letting him feel a soft kiss like jelly.

Murong Qiao’s eyes curved slightly. “I’m actually already very satisfied to see you when you’re so busy.”

Huo Yichen looked down at her and saw that Murong Qiao’s feather-like eyelashes were fluttering, as if they could cause the itch and numbness in his heart. Her smiling eyes were focused on him, and the honey-like brown under her eyes matched her thin red cheeks. She looked extremely obedient.

Even when the slightly cold night breeze blew past the two of them, it felt as if it could be tainted with an ambiguous aura that was scorching hot.

“…” Huo Yichen suddenly reached out and hugged her, preventing himself from looking at Murong Qiao.

He was afraid that his defeated rationality would collapse and he would really indulge himself to stay and continue accompanying Murong Qiao. However, the voice in his mind reminded him that the company and the Huo Family were still waiting for him.

The choice between the two sides seemed to be on a balance, but once Murong Qiao’s name was placed on it, it couldn’t be suppressed, making Huo Yichen’s heart tilt towards her.

Unfortunately, now was not the time to relax.

Murong Qiao also hugged Huo Yichen’s lean waist and buried her head in his chest, not saying anything as if they had a tacit understanding.

This scene was really beautiful. When it fell into the eyes of the two people who were secretly watching upstairs, they couldn’t bear to go down and disturb them.

“…I feel like the male and female leads of the novels I read suddenly have a face,” Ruan Ying said softly.

She clearly knew that the two of them couldn’t hear her from downstairs, but she still subconsciously lowered her voice.

An Nuo leaned against the window and looked down. “Isn’t this better than your television drama?”

Ruan Ying thought about those tantalizing and melodramatic television dramas and looked at the two of them hugging downstairs. She nodded in agreement.

No matter what happened on the Internet, those negative comments did not achieve their goal.

Before Murong Qiao went to the production team, she even wondered if the atmosphere would be bad… In the end, when she arrived at the event location, she realized that the situation was the opposite of what she had imagined.

The lively discussion of the production team matched the crowd coming and going. Everyone’s faces were filled with energy. If not for the fact that Murong Qiao had scrolled through Weibo before coming, they would have thought that she was dreaming.

“Boss, you’re here!” Bai Yi waved at her in high spirits.

Director Liu Cheng was staring at the camera. When he heard that Murong Qiao was here, he replied vaguely, but from his expression, he didn’t seem to care much about what was happening on the Internet.

Murong Qiao walked over. “You’re more motivated than I thought.”

“Of course.” Bai Yi nodded. “I’ll definitely do my best to act. This way, I’ll slap those people’s faces when it’s broadcasted.”

“It’s good that you’re energetic.” Meanwhile, Zhanrong also came over and added with a smile.

Zhanrong’s expression was much calmer. “Everyone’s in good condition… Moon G.o.ddess, you don’t have to worry too much. We were actually worried that you’ll be affected.”

As they chatted, Murong Qiao saw the relaxed atmosphere on the production team’s side.

The main reason was that Bai Yi and Zhanrong were both fans of Moon G.o.ddess. Moreover, Murong Qiao was Bai Yi’s boss. Usually, everyone liked her very much. Now that they saw the comments on the Internet, they were all motivated to film the Three Thousand Realms well and shut those people up.

“I hope you’ll satisfy me during the filming later,” Liu Cheng said calmly.

He was an old director and had seen all kinds of film production over the years. He could be said to be the least affected person in the production team.

No matter what the Internet said, Liu Cheng was confident in himself and his production team.

However, such a harmonious scene was not acceptable for a certain someone.

As if she was out of place with everyone, Shang Rou stood in a corner of the production team and looked at the people gathered on the other side with a straight face. She was not in a good mood.

No one in the surroundings dared to come over and provoke Shang Rou, afraid that they would invoke her anger..
