Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing Huo Yichen suddenly appear in front of her, Murong Qiao subconsciously curled her lips. Before she could think of anything good to say, she smiled and took the initiative to throw herself into the other party’s arms.

“Ah Chen!” she shouted.

Huo Yichen was already prepared. He opened his arms and caught Murong Qiao before responding.

Murong Qiao hugged him for a long time before looking up. “The busy President finally knows to come and see me?”

She was half-joking. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with smiles.

When she looked at Huo Yichen alone, she was extremely focused.

“Yes,” Huo Yichen nodded honestly.

He hung the scarf he had brought around Murong Qiao’s neck twice and wrapped her tightly. Then, he took out a beautiful bouquet of roses from behind and handed it to Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao was a little puzzled. “Why do you—”

“You said that I’m busy every day.” Huo Yichen flicked her forehead in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Have you forgotten what day it is today?”

With Huo Yichen’s reminder, Murong Qiao turned to look to the side.

It was only at this moment that she realized that the street was surprisingly lively. The shops by the roadside were all specially decorated. There were even advertis.e.m.e.nts with event notices of buy one and get one free for couples.

Pink became the theme of the day, as did roses.

Murong Qiao finally realized. “It can’t be… Valentine’s Day today, right?”

“To be precise, it’s the Chinese Valentine’s Day,” Huo Yichen corrected her with

a smile.

“So.” Huo Yichen stuffed the roses into her arms. “Happy Chinese Valentine’s

Day.”

The fragrance of the flowers stirred her sense of smell the moment they approached, causing Murong Qiao to subconsciously focus on the bouquet in her arms.

The white and pink roses were beautifully wrapped together. There was not an exaggerated amount, but when they were surrounded by white wrapping paper in front of her face and she thought of today’s festival, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but blush.

It was only at this moment that she realized why the little girl would sell her flowers.

“I’m sorry…” Murong Qiao muttered.

Huo Yichen remembered today’s day, but she was so busy that she forgot. She had been working in the company for the past few days and didn’t notice this matter at all.

Huo Yichen raised his hand and ruffled her hair. “You’re telling me this?”

“But it’s not too late now.” Murong Qiao cheered up.

Fortunately, the roses that the little girl had sold her were indeed very beautiful.

Murong Qiao turned around and gave her bouquet to Huo Yichen. “Happy

Valentine’s Day.”

Huo Yichen looked at the bouquet of roses in front of him in surprise, but he still reached out to take it. He held it carefully in his hand and looked at it for a long time.

“I guessed that you’d be getting off work at this time. Why don’t we go eat something first? We can’t let you go hungry, or you’ll easily get gastric problems,” Huo Yichen suggested.

Previously, when he was in school, Murong Qiao had this habit. She always wanted to finish what she was doing first before thinking about other things.

Now that he had graduated, he was mainly busy with the company and could not be by Murong Qiao’s side often. Huo Yichen even wished that he could split himself to stay by Murong Qiao’s side and watch over her at all times.

“Alright.” Murong Qiao nodded in agreement.

For convenience, the two bouquets of flowers were placed in the car Huo Yichen had driven when he came.

“Ye Zhen actually didn’t follow you here.” Murong Qiao couldn’t help but be surprised to see that the driver’s seat was empty.

Huo Yichen said helplessly, “It’s Valentine s Day.

“Ye Zhen also has his own girlfriend. Besides, do I look like the kind of boss who would squeeze his employees dry?” he asked seriously.

Murong Qiao burst out laughing. “No.”

Actually, Ye Zhen originally wanted to follow.

However, Huo Yichen felt that he would be a third wheel even if he came, let alone during Valentine’s Day, so he simply gave him a break.

-What do you want to eat? It’s up to you today.” Huo Yichen held Murong Qiao’s hand and walked on the street.

However, Murong Qiao’s attention was not on the food.

Today was Valentine’s Day, so most people on the streets were naturally couples and some men and women who planned to meet romance by chance. Seeing that many girls beside her were looking over, and their gazes all fell on Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao felt a little jealous.

Hence, she pulled Huo Yichen’s hand and gestured for him to stop.

“Huh?” Huo Yichen turned to look at her immediately. “What’s wrong,

Qiaoqiao?”

Murong Qiao puffed up her cheeks. “I’m suddenly not cold anymore.” With that, she took off the scarf around her neck and wrapped it around Huo Yichen.

The other party had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He looked like a model no matter what he wore. Even with the scarf draped diagonally, one couldn’t take their eyes off him.

After wrapping the scarf around his neck, Murong Qiao suddenly tiptoed and kissed the corner of Huo Yichen’s lips.

He was hers.

As if declaring her sovereignty, the moment Murong Qiao kissed Huo Yichen, she saw from the corner of her eye that many girls looked away in boredom.

It was probably because they knew that this handsome man was taken and his girlfriend was so beautiful that they gave up.

Huo Yichen was also surprised by the kiss at first. Then, he understood what Murong Qiao meant in an instant and smiled.

“Qiaoqiao…” He gritted his teeth helplessly, his low voice adding a hint of ambiguity.

After Murong Qiao finished doing all this, she pretended to be calm and returned to holding hands.

‘■Who asked them to keep looking at you?” she replied with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Huo Yichen couldn’t be angry. He even narrowed his eyes happily because of Murong Qiao’s actions. He regretted that those people didn’t look at him longer.

This way, it would save those boys from thinking about it.

Huo Yichen glanced around subtly and could tell that several boys were coveting Murong Qiao.

“You’ll catch a cold if you stay outside for too long. Why don’t we go to the mall?” Huo Yichen led Murong Qiao to a large mall beside them.

Other than couples, the most enthusiastic people on Valentine’s Day were the merchants.

on such a special day, consumption has also become a way to show off one’s love.

“Hi, we are holding an event in our shop today. Couples can buy it at a 50% discount—”

“Sir, Young Lady, we have a couple activity here and a small gift for the two of you.”

“Big Brother, Big Sister! Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you want to see our store’s…”

Just when Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen walked into the mall and walked towards the elevator, they already saw several activities. There were even shop a.s.sistants who took the initiative to come over and promote their goods.

When Murong Qiao entered from outside, before she could feel the air conditioner and heat in the mall, she sensed the extraordinary enthusiasm of these shop owners.

In order to avoid these “troubles”, Murong Qiao simply pulled Huo Yichen into the elevator and pressed a b.u.t.ton to the seventh floor. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

However, their outstanding looks and temperament still attracted a lot of attention, and they indirectly became the focus of the elevator.

As soon as the elevator opened on the seventh floor, Murong Qiao dashed out with Huo Yichen.

“There’s clearly also Valentine’s Day in the past… Why does it feel so lively today?” Murong Qiao slowly exhaled.

Huo Yichen let her pull him along. “It’s probably because our ident.i.ties are different now.”

After all, they hadn’t been together in the past. They were only focused on their studies and other things. Why would they care about a festival that belonged to couples?

“That’s true.” Murong Qiao admitted with a smile.

She straightened up and looked around. Only then did she realize that the floor she had casually pressed was actually an arcade area..
