Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Zheng stood in front of Huo Yichen and met his calm gaze. He felt that Huo Yichen looked much calmer after not seeing him for a while.
“Let’s go. This isn’t the first time we’ve met each other.” Murong Zheng’s tone was casual.
Huo Yichen walked beside him with a polite smile on his lips. When he saw that it was Murong Zheng who came out to receive him, he had a premonition that this trip to the Murong Family would not be easy.
“How’s her health recently?” Murong Zheng suddenly mentioned this. “I happened to not be in the hospital on the day of the low fever and she didn’t tell me when she came back.”
That day when Little Sister entered the hospital, not only did Murong Zheng not receive the news at all, but seeing that Murong Qiao clearly didn’t intend to tell them much and wanted everyone to be at ease, Murong Zheng couldn’t ask further.
However, it was obvious that after staying in the swimming pool for so long, Murong Zheng was still worried that his Little Sister’s body would have any hidden problems after developing that low fever.
Huo Yichen was stunned. “She’s fine.”
“I found her in time. Coupled with the fact that Qiaoqiao’s physique is very good, the doctor said that she would be fine after eating more to nourish her body,” he replied truthfully.
After saying that, Huo Yichen took out his phone and found the test report he had specially taken a picture of at that time. He handed it to Murong Zheng to take a look.
Murong Zheng only took a few glances and had a rough idea. “It’s good that she’s fine.”
After he found out, he didn’t ask further.
However, Huo Yichen inexplicably felt that Murong Zheng’s attitude towards him was much more relaxed than before. If there was anything different, it should be that his words were not as… sharp as before?
As the two of them spoke, they reached the entrance of the Murong Residence in a few steps. Uncle Yang was already waiting at the door. When he saw Huo Yichen, his eyes seemed to light up.
“Hello, Young Master Huo. Just call me Uncle Yang.” Uncle Yang greeted first.
Huo Yichen had some knowledge of this butler. Previously, when he chatted with Murong Qiao, she would occasionally talk about this butler, so his expression softened.
“Hello, I’m Huo Yichen.”
After greeting them, Huo Yichen walked into the Murong Residence and passed by the front hall used to hold banquets. Only then did he finally see a familiar person.
“You’re here!” Murong Qiao’s tone rose when she saw him.
Third Brother, Murong Chuan, sat at the side and took a sip of fruit tea. He looked at Murong Qiao, who immediately couldn’t sit still, and didn’t mention his Little Sister’s performance of staring at the door just now.
Huo Yichen caught Murong Qiao, who was pouncing on him, and stroked her soft hair. The corners of his eyes relaxed and he chuckled.
Murong Zheng stood at the side with his arms crossed. “Are you done hugging?”
“…Cough.” Murong Qiao’s body stiffened.
Murong Qiao almost forgot that they were not in school. She pouted and slowly retreated from Huo Yichen’s arms under the gaze of her Big Brothers, but her hand still held his silently.
“Eldest Brother is probably in the study now. 1’11 call him over to eat,” Murong Zheng said and walked upstairs.
Murong Qiao held Huo Yichen’s hand and sat on the other end of the sofa. Uncle Yang happened to take some fruits and pastries and placed them on the coffee table.
Uncle Yang smiled happily. “There’s still 15 minutes before lunch. Young Miss, you guys chat first.”
It was rare for the Murong Family to have a new guest, and it was Murong Qiao’s boyfriend. Uncle Yang was very happy.
“Long time no see,” Murong Chuan spoke first.
He put down the cup in his hand and looked at Huo Yichen. The other party was peeling a beautiful orange and feeding it to Murong Qiao.
Huo Yichen smiled. “Is it inappropriate to call you Teacher?”
His joking tone made the atmosphere much more harmonious. Murong Chuan also smiled, not intending to make things difficult for him.
“We’re not in school. Just be more casual.” Murong Chuan told him to relax.
Murong Qiao whispered to Huo Yichen, “Fourth Brother might not be awake yet. Xian Yu and Big Brother should be coming down soon…”
As she muttered, she did not forget to look upstairs. Just from her performance, it made people feel that Murong Qiao seemed to be even more nervous than Huo Yichen.
At the same moment, Murong Zheng knocked on Xian Yu’s room upstairs.
“Is Huo Yichen here? I’ll—” Xian Yu’s anxious voice came from the room.
Then, the sound of running footsteps approached the door. Murong Zheng, who was standing in front of the door, saw Xian Yu open the door with a whoosh. After realizing that it was him, his face turned into a disappointed expression.
“Why is it you?” Xian Yu snorted.
He thought that Uncle Yang or Little Sister was here to look for him, but as soon as he opened the door, he met this beast doctor’s eyes, dispelling half of Xian Yu’s interest.
Xian Yu tugged at the clothes he had just tidied up and wanted to close the door in frustration, but Murong Zheng raised his hand to stop him.
“He’s here. He’s downstairs.” Murong Zheng’s expression was calm and concise.
He’s here?!
Xian Yu stopped in his tracks and instantly perked up. “I’ll go now!”
Almost at the same time, Xian Yu brushed past Murong Zheng and rushed out.
“You…” Before Murong Zheng could finish speaking, he watched Xian Yu’s figure disappear around the corner.
After sighing silently, he followed.
He also wanted to see what kind of person could snatch his Little Sister’s heart away and make her speak so seriously last night!
However, before he could rush downstairs to meet Huo Yichen, he met his Eldest Brother Murong Chen, who had just come out of the study, at the corner of the corridor.
The other party saw that he had just come out of the study and when he heard the commotion, he glanced at Xian Yu.
“…” Xian Yu stopped silently.
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other. Xian Yu could be said to be as quiet as a chicken.
Murong Zheng, who rushed over later, saw this scene and also saw the faint crease between Murong Chen’s eyebrows.
“Why are you running so fast?” Murong Chen asked in a low voice.
Xian Yu suddenly stopped. He didn’t even dare to adjust his breathing too obviously. Hearing this question, his face secretly turned bitter.
He couldn’t possibly tell his Eldest Brother that he wanted to see Huo Yichen and have an “in-depth interaction” with him, right?
“I called him for lunch.” In the end, it was Murong Zheng who explained.
Fortunately, Murong Chen only asked casually. After telling Xian Yu to calm down, he went down the stairs first.
After Xian Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he thought to himself that this beast doctor still had a conscience, but he couldn’t help but ask.
His tone became a little fierce. “Why didn’t you tell me that Big Brother came out just now—”
“You ran too quickly and interrupted me. Are you blaming me?” Murong Zheng replied calmly.
Xian Yu glared at him. “You did it on purpose!”
Although there was no evidence, based on their familiar personalities, Xian Yu was sure that the other party must have deliberately watched him embarrass himself.
If this was any other time, Xian Yu would have fought with Murong Zheng. However, considering that his Little Sister and Huo Yichen were both downstairs and it was almost time for lunch, Xian Yu didn’t choose to argue with Murong Zheng.
“Qiaoqiao—”
Xian Yu’s energetic voice came from upstairs.
Murong Qiao subconsciously looked up and saw Xian Yu walking down the stairs quickly. In the next second, he appeared in front of her.
At this moment, other than Yan Xiu, everyone in the living room was sitting around the coffee table.
Murong Chen and Murong Chuan each occupied an armchair. Murong Chuan sat on the long sofa, and opposite him were Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
“Make way, 1 want to sit too.” Xian Yu poked his Little Sister’s arm.
Murong Qiao moved to the side helplessly and amusedly, sticking close to Huo Yichen to make way for her Fifth Brother..
