Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal

As they spoke, Meng Shu handed over a teacup with the Chinese flag on it.

Upon hearing this, Mi Gonghao almost lost control of his expression.

After a long while, she took a deep breath before accepting the teacup.

The moment he saw the pattern, his face turned ashen and his whole body trembled.

"How was it?" Meng Shu smiled broadly.

Mi Gonghao, suppressing his shame and indignation, gritted his teeth and took a sip, "Not bad."

“If Miss Mi Gong is interested, I can teach you openly and honestly. After all, you can’t get the proper way by always resorting to underhanded theft. Don’t you think so?”

Hearing Meng Shu's veiled sarcasm, Mi Gonghao's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

As Old Master Huo watched this scene, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

This girl said everything she wanted to say.

He has both courage and wisdom; I knew I hadn't misjudged him!

However, if I don't stop it, things might get ugly.

Thinking of this, Old Master Huo said in a calm tone.

"Miss Mi Gong, it's normal that you can't compare to Shu Ya in tea ceremony."

After all, this is something from our Chinese ancestors, so there's no need to feel embarrassed.

Mi Gonghaoxiang suppressed her emotions and said, "Grandpa Huo, I am ashamed of myself. However, Miss Meng is truly extraordinary. May I ask what her identity is?"

Old Master Huo smiled and said, "Miss Mi Gong, this is Qilin's soon-to-be wife, my granddaughter-in-law, Meng Shu."

Although Mi Gonghao knew about this beforehand, it was only after hearing it from Old Master Huo that he realized it was true.

Her heart ached, and she could barely maintain her smile.

Thinking about the purpose of this trip, Mi Gonghao's expression became serious.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Huo's next move almost broke Mi Gonghaoxiang's defenses.

“Miss Mi Gong, you don’t need to come with me. Let’s go to the main hall. Shuya is enough for you here.”

Although Mi Gonghao was extremely unwilling, he still nodded.

After bowing, he slowly withdrew from the tea room.

a long time.

Old Master Huo said calmly, "Shu'er, do you know why I kept you behind alone?"

Meng Shu's gaze was unwavering, and he said with absolute certainty, "Huo Qilin."

"A clever girl, she understands things very quickly."

Old Master Huo stared at Meng Shu, his gaze sharp. "You must have heard about Qilin's situation, right?"

Meng Shu met Old Master Huo's gaze and nodded calmly.

"Are you willing to marry him, share his glory and his shame, and never leave him?"

After a moment's thought, Meng Shu said in a serious tone, "Grandpa Huo, you may not believe what I'm about to say, but I still have to say it."

Grandpa Huo gestured for her to continue.

"I, Meng Shu, was born for Huo Qilin. I would give anything for him, even my life, let alone marry him.

Meeting Meng Shu's ardent and unwavering gaze surprised even the usually composed and seasoned Old Master Huo.

This girl doesn't seem to be lying, but these words are too harsh.

After a long silence, Old Master Huo said seriously, "I understand."

"Grandpa, I know it's hard to believe such words, but they are all from the bottom of my heart, without a trace of pretense."

Grandpa Huo gave Meng Shu a complicated look and waved his hand, "Shu girl, you can go out now."

"Yes, Grandpa Huo."

After Meng Shu left, Old Master Huo looked at the screen with a smile and said in a strong voice, "You brat, you can come out now."

Immediately, a tall, handsome man with an extraordinary bearing stepped out; it was Huo Qilin.

"So, you brat, are you satisfied with the wife your grandpa chose for you?"

Huo Qilin said indifferently, "She's just a hypocritical little girl, a con artist with a mouth full of sweet words. Is that all it took to fool you?"

"You brat, you deserve to be single all these years!"

As he spoke, Old Master Huo pointed to the side and smiled meaningfully, saying, "You should go and see what Shuya left for you before making a decision."

Huo Qilin smiled dismissively, remaining unmoved.

Urged on by Mr. Huo, she walked over gracefully, her every move exuding nobility and elegance.

Beside the coffee table.

His gaze fell on the teacup, and a hint of something unusual flashed across his handsome and calm face.

Then, he picked up the teacup with the Qilin pattern, rubbed it back and forth between his palms, and smiled slightly.

"So, kid, are you tempted yet?"

Huo Qilin slowly put down his teacup, a cryptic smile appearing in his eyes.

Grandpa Huo smiled knowingly, his expression showing a hint of joy. "Since the young lady has taken the initiative to come, you should go and meet her. A real man shouldn't be impolite."

Unexpectedly, Huo Qilin calmly uttered two words, "I won't see you!"

Old Master Huo said with a look of utter disappointment, "You brat, she's your betrothed! What kind of attitude is this?!"

Huo Qilin curled his lips into a smile. "We're not officially married yet, are we?"

Old Master Huo gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Let's talk about it after tonight."

Old Master Huo's expression changed. "Are you worried?"

Huo Qilin smiled slightly and said, "Yes, but no."

"Qilin, what do you plan to do if Shuyatou... after tonight?"

"She—can only be mine!"

After saying that, Huo Qilin turned and left.

Only then did Grandpa Huo feel relieved.

at night.

Meng Shu stayed overnight at Huo's residence.

The maid, Aunt Lin, led her to a guest room.

Although it's called a guest room, both its location and the interior decoration and furnishings are in her preferred style.

It was obviously prepared in advance for her.

Meng Shu's eyes stung slightly, and her chest felt burning hot.

Although she did not see Huo Qilin today, she was slightly disappointed.

But it doesn't matter, since she's already here, Huo Qilin can't stay away forever, right?

Since his rebirth, Meng Shu has been plotting various schemes and has never had a proper rest.

Seeing her familiar surroundings again made her feel much more at ease.

Meng Shu walked towards the bathroom.

in the bathtub.

The fragrance of flower petals, the sweetness of milk, and the aroma of steam.

Meng Shu soaked his body in the water, humming a little tune.

The aroma is wonderful, it's so comforting.

She relaxed completely and, in a daze, drifted off to sleep.

Hot water steams, the fragrance of flowers lingers, and the beauty sleeps soundly.

This scene is so moving that it's hard not to be touched.

In a daze, a cool breeze blew by.

The petals on Meng Shuyu's shoulder were blown away, revealing a glimpse of spring on her chest.

Suddenly, she felt a chill and tried to open her eyes to see what was happening, but she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

Soon, a pair of large hands wrapped around her soft, boneless waist.

Immediately afterwards, she fell into an embrace that still retained a slight chill.

The fragrance emanating from her arms was both familiar and strange.

Meng Shu was placed on a clean, soft bed.

In a daze, a large, bony hand roamed over her cheeks, neck, collarbone, and waist, sending a shiver down her spine.

Suddenly, a man's clear, cool voice rang out.
