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

Zhong Shaoyang couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You're just licking their boots, and you don't even notice that they're paying any attention to you? People like us, from small families, don't even look down on us. Some people only have eyes for wealthy families like the Huo family."

Yun Duo and the other two looked at each other, and anger could not help but appear in their eyes.

It is their own business to envy and admire Ruan Xingchen. Can this be called bootlicking?

What's more, they are not fools.

During their interactions, Ruan Xingchen always treated them gently, politely, approachably, and equally.

He didn't even give them any disrespect just because they were brought by Zhong Shaoyang.

This kind of magnanimity and bearing is completely different from the current sarcastic and mean Zhong Shaoyang.

"Even if we act like bootlickers, it's out of our own volition."

Wu Mingming and Zhong Shaoyang didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, so he turned his face and said rudely, "It's better than some people who act like lickspittle for others and are looked down upon by others."

We are in the same circle, who doesn’t know who?

He eagerly confessed his love to someone at the engagement party, just to see if Ms. Ruan would pay any attention to him?

"Wu Mingming, what do you mean!"

Zhong Shaoyang's face turned pale and he roared, "Speak clearly to me!"

"Are you afraid of what others will say about what you did?"

Yun Duo sneered and retorted, "You can't pursue her, so you slander her behind her back. You're really something. Ms. Ruan is very nice. We can tell what kind of person she is!"

"Why waste time talking to him? This kind of man only sees what he wants to see. No matter how hard you try, you can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep."

Tian Qing looked disdainful and pulled her two best friends along: "Ignore him. Let's go, let's stop playing."

"Playing with this kind of person will shorten your life by ten years."

Wu Mingming nodded, took out his phone, tapped it twice, and sneered, "The expenses of the three of us for this trip have been transferred to Master Zhong's account. Let's settle and never see each other again."

The three of them turned around and left without giving any face at all.

Zhong Shaoyang's face was pale and his eyes were extremely scary.

There were red blood vessels all over their bodies, as if they wanted to eat them alive.

In the end, he could only suppress his anger and emotions reluctantly.

"It's incomprehensible. As a friend, I tried to give them some good advice, but they didn't appreciate it. It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing how kind a person is."

After complaining angrily, he forced a smile and turned to the others, saying, "Let's ignore them. If they don't want to play anymore, we'll go have some fun. This farm stay has a lot of other activities. Why don't we go..."

"Master Zhong."

Before he could finish his words, a girl interrupted him with an embarrassed look on her face. She smiled dryly and said, "Well, we suddenly had something to do. So, we'll leave for today... Let's meet again another time."

The people around her nodded.

Once someone started speaking, others followed suit.

"Sorry, Master Zhong. Something urgent happened at home. Let's play together another day!"

"I feel a little unwell, so I'll take my leave now."

"Hey, look at my memory. I suddenly remembered that I had a dinner appointment. I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhong."

Almost everyone is leaving.

Knowing that Zhong Shaoyang is likely to treat them as fools, who would be willing to stay here?

It is already a sign of their upbringing that they can avoid falling out with each other.

What’s more important is that the family still doesn’t know Zhong’s true identity!

They have to go back and have a good talk with their father.

How did things turn out like this in such a short time?

Zhong Shaoyang's eyes were filled with confusion, and he anxiously tried to persuade him to stay: "This...we haven't finished discussing this yet! How about we have a meal and settle this?"

He did not forget his mission on this trip.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that not only was his goal doomed to fail, but it would also implicate Zhong Dingguo.

The Zhong family is destined not to wait for a fool who is both stupid and rich.

It would have been fine if he hadn't said these words. As soon as he said them, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and ran even faster.

"Let's talk about this later!" Everyone said vaguely, "It's not a small matter. We still need to discuss it with our family!"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to tell your family and wanted to show them your achievements?"

Zhong Shaoyang had a bad feeling in his heart, and later realized that these "friends" who coaxed him to invest in him seemed to have changed their minds.

He was at a loss and extremely anxious.

He forced a smile and said jokingly, "We agreed to invest quietly and then surprise everyone."

"Oh, isn't that just a casual remark?"

Everyone laughed dryly, "I should discuss this with my family. Otherwise, my dad will break my legs when I get home."

"That's right, we're not kids anymore. It's too childish to still be talking about rebelliousness."

"Alright, Master Zhong, we really have something to do. We'll take our leave now!"

"Let's split the bill today. I've transferred the money to you, Mr. Zhong."

Soon, the once bustling venue was empty.

Zhong Shaoyang was bewildered. He grabbed the slowest walker and couldn't help asking, "What on earth is going on?"

Why are you all regretting your decision out of the blue?

The man didn't expect that he was a beat slow and was in a dilemma for a moment.

After a while, he sighed, patted his shoulder, and said vaguely: "Mr. Zhong, it's not that we are not good friends. It's just that none of us are fools..."

He waved his hands, broke free, and ran away.

Zhong Shaoyang stood there in a daze.

What do you mean?

Could it be that they knew?

No, not possible!

The news was kept secret, and they invested a lot of money to create the current momentum.

How could they possibly discover it?

He tried to convince himself again and again, but his heart was already panicking. He wiped his face vigorously, then turned and left.

Even though Ruan Xingchen didn't see Zhong Shaoyang's predicament with his own eyes, he could guess it.

She's not focusing on that right now.

Huo Qianqian and her two siblings went to get tools, and she and Huo Yan held hands and walked towards the lake where they were going to fish.

Stop under a lush banyan tree.

This banyan tree is obviously quite old, with lush branches and leaves, and countless offshoots, like a scene from a fairy tale.

It blocks the scorching sun and protects the green grass.

Ruan Xingchen tilted her head to look at Huo Yan, her eyes full of clear smiles, and there seemed to be a little hook in her eyes.

"What are you looking at, madam?"

Huo Yan's throat went dry when she looked at him, and his Adam's apple rolled. He asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, Mr. Huo is still as handsome as ever."

Shaking his head with a smile, Ruan Xingchen corrected him: "No, it should be more handsome."

What do you say?

Huo Yan looked at her doubtfully.

"When I was shooting arrows just now, I was looking at Mr. Huo the whole time."

She stretched out her white hand and pressed him against the thick tree trunk.

Ruan Xingchen looked up at him, her bright face exposed without any cover, including her loving and focused eyes: "Looking at you makes my heart beat faster, I just want to kiss Mr. Huo."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him twice on the lips.
