Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

"Snapped."

The studio light flickered on, and the sudden brightness startled Ruan Xingchen for a moment. Facing the many gazes, he gave an awkward laugh, "Why... why are you all here?"

This scene seemed like she had bullied her little sister so arrogantly that she made her cry, and she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

"I, I'm here to call my sister-in-law for dinner..." Huo Qianqian was also a little stunned and responded stutteringly.

"We heard crying..." Yu Feng swallowed dryly and said blankly, "We were afraid something might happen, so we followed Mr. Huo up to take a look."

Huo Yan was the last one to go upstairs in the small elevator at home. At this moment, his eyes were deep and his expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He turned his wheelchair and came over.

Could it be that there was some misunderstanding and you wanted to seek an explanation for your sister?

Seeing that his expression seemed a little gloomy, Ruan Xingchen subconsciously explained: "I don't know why, this just..."

"Boss Huo." Xiao Bai took a step forward, as if afraid that he would hit her: "Han Xing is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding..."

"Get out of the way." Huo Yan stared at him with cold eyes. Although he was shorter than the other man because of the wheelchair, his gaze was naturally stern as if he was looking down on him.

Xiao Bai's face darkened, and he refused to give in: "No one can bully her in front of me."

Huo Yan's expression suddenly became uglier. Without saying a word, he leaned forward, grabbed Ruan Xingchen's right wrist with his big hand, and pulled her forward.

Ruan Xingchen was dragged in front of him.

He took out a snow-white handkerchief from his coat pocket, slowly spread out her palm and wiped it gently.

Perhaps she accidentally got some paint on her fingertips when she was modifying the painting just now.

Ruan Xingchen lowered his eyes, a rare look of embarrassment: "You want to wipe my hands... I can do it myself."

"What else?" Huo Yan raised his eyes slightly under his sword-like brows, a faint smile oozing from his eyes. He asked in return, "Do you think I want to hit you?"

That's not it.

Ruan Xingchen thought that he might not be able to beat her.

When it comes to fighting, she has never been afraid of anyone.

Xiao Bai watched the interaction between the two, and seeing that Huo Yan had no intention of hurting her, she froze in place with a sad look in her eyes.

Her eyes seemed to pass over him inadvertently, and Huo Yan hummed softly in his heart. After wiping her hands, he did not let go, but just held her hand lightly, holding her white and slightly cool palm in his palm.

Ruan Xingchen ignored Huo Xiaoning's cries, noting the subtle movement in his ears. He frowned in pain, "What should I do?"

"She'll be fine after crying for a while." Huo Yan was remarkably calm and said calmly, "Let her cry."

Since the eldest brother has spoken, naturally no one else will say anything more.

Instead, Huo Qianqian ran over and brought over a pack of tissues, and roughly stuffed them into Huo Xiaoning's hands: "Wipe it. After that, you can continue crying."

It’s okay to cry ugly, but don’t accidentally let your snot and tears get into your mouth.

Huo Xiaoning didn't stop crying. She hugged the tissue tightly, turned around and threw herself into her sister's arms, then continued to howl.

"Hey, hey, hey, tears! Snot! You wiped them on me!" Huo Qianqian was like a cat with its fur standing on end. Her whole body was stiff and she almost jumped up. She wanted to hide but couldn't. She opened her hands blankly and used every cell in her body to demonstrate what it meant to be at a loss.

She subconsciously looked at Ruan Xingchen for help, but her sister-in-law was watching the scene with a smile and had no intention of lending a helping hand.

Huo Qianqian gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and really gave it her all: "Cry, cry, but don't cry into your ears...you're going to go deaf."

She pushed Huo Xiaoning's head in disgust, and her hand, which was frozen in mid-air, hesitated for a moment. Recalling what she had seen others do before, she gently patted the bony back of her sister who had almost no presence in the past.

This was a completely new experience for the two sisters.

Although they are not much different in age, they are not born of the same mother and have not had any contact since childhood. The two sisters are like strangers and will not even say hello when they meet in the same house.

It was not until this moment, hugging each other, as if relying on each other, that they vaguely understood what it meant to be blood-bound.

Although she said she was disgusted, Huo Qianqian did not refuse again. The always spoiled and impatient eldest daughter was so patient for the first time, and her hand never stopped patting Huo Xiaoning's thin back.

At this moment, everyone else just let them hug each other quietly without anyone disturbing them.

Huo Yuanzhou's heart was filled with a complex restlessness again. He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly. Finally, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, turned around and went downstairs to pour a cup of warm salt water.

This always bored, world-weary young man had an awkward expression on his face. He stuffed the water cup to Huo Xiaoning's lips and said, "Drink some salt water before you continue crying. It's too unpleasant to cry if you cry yourself hoarse!"

Suddenly, a full cup of water was pushed at her lips. Huo Xiaoning, who had been crying and shouting and had indeed consumed a lot of water, subconsciously opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

"Gudong, gudong, burp."

The sound of swallowing water was accompanied by a brief hiccup, and the scene was silent for a moment.

"Pfft."

Huo Xiaoning was the first one to laugh at herself. She grabbed a few tissues to wipe away her tears and snot, her face flushed red as she stamped her feet, "Second brother!"

The others suddenly reacted and looked at each other, not knowing who started laughing first.

Huo Xiaoning's cheeks turned red from laughing, but she didn't cry anymore. Instead, she smiled softly with her lips pursed, and her eyes were shining with a light she had never had before.

The always cold Huo family seemed to be filled with laughter and joy that only ordinary families could have for the first time.

Huo Yan slightly closed his palms.

Her fingers were beautiful, but not very delicate, and there were thin calluses on her fingertips from working hard to make a living.

She walked out of the slums and entered the Huo family with a mysterious look, bringing the worldly atmosphere, sunshine, rain, and hope.

How can one be so virtuous?

He closed his eyes gently, held her hand almost reverently, and placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.

Ruan Xingchen, who was originally smiling, was suddenly stunned. She turned her head to look over and couldn't tell for a moment whether it was his lips that were burning or the skin on the back of his hand that was burning that made her curl her fingers.

Meeting his bottomless eyes, she felt her heart tremble and beat a little too fast.

Everyone was immersed in the relaxed atmosphere and having fun, and no one noticed the sudden ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.

Xiao Bai, who was infected and couldn't help but smile, looked around subconsciously. When he noticed this scene, the smile gradually disappeared, and the light in his pupils seemed to gradually go out.

Huo Yan seemed to have sensed something and glanced over, his eyes revealing a coldness that showed that they both knew what was going on.

Xiao Bai looked away.

"Okay, it's late." Ruan Xingchen smiled and clapped his hands: "It's time to eat. Let's go downstairs."

It was already much later than the usual dinner time, and everyone felt a little hungry. Upon hearing this, they all went downstairs in a crowd.

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "You guys go down first. I'll take a break and accompany Mr. Huo in the small elevator."

After saying that, he tilted his head and smiled: "Mr. Huo, you won't mind, right?"
