Chapter 26 Superfluous Person
Zhuang Xinran held the plate and froze there, the smile on his face petrified with pride.
Liu Yan’s face darkened as she looked in Xiao Luobing’s direction and said stiffly, “Braised fish is also prepared happily.”
Xia Luobing’s eyes fell on the attractive red-roasted fish and avoided Huo Yunqi’s chopsticks. She smiled and said, “There are too many thorns. I don’t want to eat them.”
She could directly target Zhuang Xinran , but she still had to maintain respect and courtesy towards Huo Yunqi’s mother.
A well-behaved dealer’s eldest young miss ran to someone else’s house to be a cook, that was enough!
Yunqi didn’t seem to understand what Xia Luobing meant. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Then I’ll help you pick out the Thorn.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire dining table instantly became quiet. Not only Zhuang Xinran , even Huo Zhengxiong , who didn’t pay much attention to the fights between women, looked at his son suspiciously. Was this still Huo Yunqi?
Huo Yunqi was the dream lover of a woman in C City, but he never brought a woman to public places. He also acted ruthlessly against women who were trying to curry favor with him like autumn winds sweeping away leaves. Zhuang Xinran was a good example.
It was precisely because of this that the people at the dining table looked at Huo Yunqi with astonishment on their faces, while Zhuang Xinran was so angry that she wanted to strangle Xia Luobing to death in minutes.
She looked better than Xia Luobing , knew Huo Yunqi longer than Xia Luobing , and the strength of the dealer was on par with the Xia Clan. Why did she, Zhuang Xin’ran, risk her power to obtain something that was easily snatched away by Xia Luobing ?
She was unwilling! Unwilling!
“Bing Bing, I’ve already picked out the fish bones. I can eat them now.” Huo Yunqi carefully placed the tender white fish on Xia Luobing’s plate and said warmly, “What else do you want to eat?”
Xia Luobing’s eyes flashed, and she lowered her head to eat the fish, feeling touched in her heart.
Ever since her mother died, Huo Yunqi was the first person to pick out a fish bone for her. Even Feng Shuo had never done this before.
Seeing the emotions in the woman’s eyes, Huo Yunqi sighed in his heart. This woman was a paper tiger that was strong from the outside, but was actually more fragile than anyone else.
“Eat more if you like!” Huo Yunqi’s voice became softer and softer as he said half-jokingly, “I’ll pick out a fish bone for you!”
Xia Luobing blushed and raised her head to face Huo Yunqi’s smiling eyes. She stuck a mouthful of fish in her mouth and forgot to swallow it. Why was this guy so abnormal today?
Zhuang Xinran saw the interaction between the two of them. Her rationality was on the verge of collapse. However, she was the general manager of the Zhuang Clan. She was not a brainless vase. She immediately smiled at Liu Yan, who had a dark face. “Auntie, Yunqi and Luo Bing have such a good relationship. I didn’t know that Yunqi was so good at taking care of people.”
Xia Luobing rolled his eyes at Zhuang Xinran and sow discord!
Sure enough, Liu Yan, who originally did not like Xia Luobing, ‘s expression immediately collapsed. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and stared at Xia Luobing and reprimanded, “Yun Qi has already worked very hard to manage the company during the day. As a wife, she should take good care of him!”
Liu Yan had always regarded Huo Yunqi as more important than her own eyes, so how could she tolerate her son taking care of a woman she did not like!
Xia Luobing did not answer back, but obediently nodded her head, “Alright.”
She didn’t want to be cheated by Zhuang Xin Ran. Anyway, if she said something nice, she wouldn’t die. She, Xia Luobing , had always been able to bend and stretch.
“Yun Qiyue, eat more fiber vegetables. It’s good for your health.” Xia Luo Bing gently helped Huo Yun Qi pick up the dishes. “The seawater is polluted now. How dirty is this shrimp?”
It was rare to see Xia Luobing being gentle, so Huo Yunqi naturally had to cooperate. He smiled and nodded, “You’re right!”
Zhuang Xinran ‘s face turned green and pale. Liu Yan’s face was also ashen. Just as she was about to explode, Huo Zhengxiong stared at her and could only suppress the anger in her heart. After a meal, several people had their own thoughts. In the end, it was rare for them to calm down and eat sullenly.
After dinner, the housekeeper gave the fruit. Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing naturally loved each other. Zhuang Xinran was so angry that her nose was about to smoke.
“Yunqi, I met Xin Ran and brought her here today. Take her home later.” Liu Yan handed a piece of watermelon to Zhuang Xinran . “Today, Xin Ran was so busy that she was exhausted.”
Huo Yunqi did not even look at Zhuang Xinran . He concentrated on peeling the lychee and handed it to Xia Luobing. He said indifferently, “I want to send the ice home. Let the driver send Miss Zhuang back.”
He knew that his mother could not accept Xia Luobing, but no matter what, she was his wife. How could she be bullied by another woman?
Xia Luobing raised her eyebrows and smiled. She also stuffed a litchi into Huo Yunqi’s mouth and smiled at Zhuang Xinran . “Miss Zhuang must be tired from coming all the way here.”
He had to come to the Huo Clan to get busy at home. Didn’t he ask for it?
Zhuang Xinran naturally understood what Xia Luobing meant. Her face turned green and pale. She gritted her teeth and said, “I have a tutor who came to see my aunt, unlike some people who casually get a marriage certificate from a man!”
She had been sidelining Liu Yan for a long time and had already figured out that Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi were flash marriages. Moreover, Xia Luobing was originally Feng Shuo ‘s girlfriend.
Huo Yunqi’s expression turned cold, but his peeling of litchi did not slow down. He said bluntly, ” Miss Zhuang , it’s better to marry yourself first before meddling in other people’s affairs!”
Liu Yan naturally understood her son. From the expression on his face, she knew that Huo Yunqi was angry. She smiled twice and said, “Yunqi, you young people are joking together. How can you be serious?”
Zhuang Xinran blocked his breath and said angrily, “Our tutor is …”
“It’s getting late. I should go back.” Xia Luobing smiled faintly and said goodbye to Liu Yan, “It’s been a hard day for you.”
Normally, after the two of them got their marriage certificates, Xia Luobing could call Liu Yan “Mom”. After all, Huo Yunqi called her father directly, but she really couldn’t. She only wanted to change her tone after the wedding.
Besides, even if she cried out now, she wouldn’t be happy, so she wouldn’t be able to find a good time for herself if she didn’t hurry up and add more blockages to others.
Huo Yunqi stood up and wiped his hands with a wet towel, “I’ll send you off.”
Xia Luobing took the initiative to take Huo Yunqi’s arm and stopped when she brushed past Zhuang Xinran . Her voice was not loud enough for everyone to hear, ” Miss Zhuang , my husband’s tutor will not casually send a single older female youth home!”
Xia Luobing’s words pierced Zhuang Xinran ‘s heart. In order to marry Huo Yunqi, she was already 27 years old. She was three years older than Xia Luobing. She wasn’t a single older female? !
After leaving the Huo Family villa, Xia Luobing snorted angrily, “I’m a policeman. What kind of eloquent person haven’t seen me before? Those who miss me are really going to die!”
Xia Luobing had been immersed in the joy she had just felt from defeating Zhuang Xingran. She had no idea that her hand was always holding Huo Yunqi’s arm, nor did she notice the curve of the man’s lips when he heard the phrase “someone who misses me”.
Huo Yunqi really wanted to walk her back. The current Xia Luobing was too cute!
“Get in the car!” Xia Luobing let go of Huo Yunqi’s arm and pulled open the car door to sit inside. She waved at Huo Yunqi, who was still standing there, “What’s wrong with you?”
Huo Yunqi lowered his head and looked at his empty arms. A wisp of disappointment slid through his heart. However, he quickly packed up his mood and got into the driver’s seat. In the future, the relationship between him and Xia Luobing had progressed quite quickly!
After Huo Yunqi left, Zhuang Xinran also felt that it was boring. She randomly found an excuse and was driven back by the driver of the Huo Clan. Only Liu Yan, who had a dark face, remained in the living room.
“Do evil!” Liu Yan took a sip of tea and fell heavily onto the table. She gritted her teeth and said, “What’s wrong with being happy? Why did she fall for that uneasy woman?”
Huo Zhengxiong came out of the study with a newspaper and looked at his dark-faced wife. He frowned and said, “Yunqi has always had his own ideas. In the future, don’t let Xin Ran come home casually.”
Liu Yan jumped up from the sofa and glared at Huo Zhengxiong , “Is there something wrong with what I said? How can Xia Luobing compare to Zhuang Xinran ? Look at your son serving her for dinner!” Seeing this made him annoyed!
“Don’t you know your own son?” Huo Zhengxiong also disapproved of their inexplicable flash marriage. However, things were already like this, so he could only accept it. “Alright, alright, let’s go to bed early. What are you trying to do!”
Liu Yan glanced at Huo Zhengxiong , who had turned around and entered the bedroom. She followed him with a dark face. When she reached the stairs, she turned around and looked at the door. It was so late, and her troubled son had yet to return!
The black Maybach stopped at the entrance of the Xia Clan. Xia Luobing unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car when Huo Yunqi grabbed his wrist and said in a low magnetic voice, “Sit down for a while.”
Xiao Luobing’s hand that pushed the door paused for a moment, then retracted it. She leaned over and supported her chin with one hand. Her fan-like eyelashes flashed a few times, and she raised her eyebrows and said, “What’s the matter?”
Xia Luobing also saw Huo Yunqi’s attitude towards Zhuang Xinran during dinner at the Huo Clan tonight. Therefore, she naturally did not think that someone was here to offend her. That was why she became curious. Her wide eyes were even more vivid and beautiful, causing Huo Yunqi to be a little distracted.
There was an English song that Xiao Luobing couldn’t call out in the carriage, creating a romantic atmosphere. Huo Yunqi didn’t say anything and just stared at her. This made Xiao Luobing’s heart slightly uneasy.
“Don’t say anything, I’m leaving!” Xia Luobing pretended to be impatient to conceal his embarrassment and turned his head away from Yunqi’s eyes.
This fellow’s gaze always made her heart tremble.
Huo Yunqi held Xia Luobing’s hand in his palm and helplessly smiled bitterly, “You really know how to ruin the scenery!”
The first time she saw this woman, she was as strong as a superwoman and directly barged into her bed. She remembered that night when she accidentally hit and bumped into each other, Yunqi felt a heat flow in her lower abdomen, and a certain part of her body started to feel uneasy
