Chapter 32 - Yun Xi Is Back
Chapter 32 Yun Xi Is Back
At seven o’clock in the evening, the Huo Clan’s old mansion became lively, and bursts of laughter came from the living room.
“Yunxi is getting more and more beautiful.” Zhuang Xinran smiled gently and gave a gift box, “This is a gift for you!”
Huo Yunxi blinked her fan-like eyelashes and sparkled like a fairy. She took the gift and smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Sister Xin Ran. Sister Xin Ran is also very beautiful!”
Zhuang Xinran smiled at Liu Yan and said, “Auntie, look how talkative Yunxi is!”
Liu Yan loved her the most, and Huo Yunxi had been studying abroad, so she wanted to hold her daughter in her hands when she came back. Hearing Zhuang Xinran ‘s words, her eyes turned into crescent moons. “Yunxi’s mouth has always been very sweet!”
“Who told me to inherit my mother’s good genes?” Huo Yunqi smiled and blinked his eyes as he looked in the direction of the door. “Why aren’t Big Brother and Sister-in-law here yet?”
Liu Yan’s expression immediately changed. Because Huo Yunqi’s face had been cold for many days when she went to look for Xia Luobing last time, Liu Yan definitely wouldn’t feel that her son was wrong. Thus, she put all the resentment on Xia Luobing’s head and determined that she was the one who instigated it.
“Yunxi, you just came back. There are many things you don’t know.” Zhuang Xinran accurately captured the displeasure in Liu Yan’s eyes and said to Huo Yunqi, “Yun Qi and Xia Luobing haven’t had their wedding yet. Isn’t she your sister-in-law?”
Huo Yunqi blinked her fan-like eyelashes and said innocently, “She is my sister-in-law after receiving the marriage certificate!”
Zhuang Xinran looked embarrassed, laughed dryly, and took two mouthfuls of coffee.
“Yunxi!”
“Big brother!”
Huo Yunxi snapped back to her senses. Seeing the person at the door, she jumped up from the sofa and pounced over. However, the target was not Huo Yunqi but Xia Luobing.
“Sister-in-law? You’re sister-in-law?!” Huo Yunxi hugged Xia Luobing excitedly and said, “You’re even prettier than a photo! Why aren’t you wearing a police uniform? I’ve seen pictures of you wearing a police uniform before. It’s so cool!”
When he was still abroad, Huo Yunxi had seen the valiant Xiao Luobing on the government website of C City. At that time, he admired her very much. Later, when he found out that Xiao Luobing had become her sister-in-law, he was really excited!
Xia Luobing looked at Huo Yunxi , who was almost hanging on her body, with a face full of black lines. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Huo Yunqi didn’t say that her sister was so lively!
Seeing how embarrassed Xia Luobing was, Huo Yunqi purposely put on a face, “Yunxi, big brother is still here!”
Only then did Huo Yunxi let go of Xiao Luobing and threw herself back into Huo Yunqi’s embrace, hanging around Huo Yunqi’s neck as if she was a child. “Big brother, I’m going to miss you to death!”
“Alright, everyone is here. It’s time for dinner!” Liu Yan looked at her son and daughter with pride.
Feng Shuo would definitely not participate in such a family banquet!
Huo Zhengxiong came out of the study and looked at his daughter with a loving expression, “How old are you? You’re still crazy!”
Huo Yunxi stuck out his tongue and tilted his head to look at Xia Luobing, “Sister-in-law, how did you get tricked by my brother?”
The corner of Xia Luobing’s mouth twitched. She was indeed tricked, but did this girl need to speak so directly? She didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
It was Huo Yunqi who saw Xia Luobing’s awkwardness and patted Huo Yunqi’s head, “Sit down, stop messing around!”
“Big brother, you’re biased!” Huo Yunqi purposely pretended to be sad and said, “Mom and Dad, big brother hit me!”
The corner of Xia Luobing’s mouth curled upwards. Huo Yunqi’s sister was really interesting!
Seeing that Huo Yunxi was so familiar with Xia Luobing, Zhuang Xinran was as anxious as a cat’s claw, but she could not keep a dignified smile on her face, “Yunxi, do you like the gift from sister Xinran? If you don’t like it, I’ll give you something else!”
She could clearly see that Xia Luobing had come empty-handed, so she would not let go of any chance to attack Xia Luobing .
Sure enough, Liu Yan glanced at Xia Luobing without a trace, but she said to Huo Yunqi, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen Yun Xi. Don’t you have any gifts as a big brother?”
Huo Yunxi had already brought over a gift from Zhuang Xinran . It was a Swarovski bracelet with six pink diamonds embedded on it. It was luxurious and gave off a noble aura. It matched Huo Yunxi’s temperament very well.
“Xin Ran’s eyesight is very good. He is also diligent!” Liu Yan nodded her head in satisfaction. She thought in her heart, if there was a girl like Zhuang Xinran as her daughter-in-law, it would be really comfortable.
“Pa!” Huo Yunqi threw a car key to Huo Yunxi and said, “Didn’t you like the Phantom of Rolls-Royce the most? This is for you!”
Huo Yunxi grabbed the key and kissed Huo Yunqi on the face, “Brother, you’re so nice!”
Zhuang Xinran ‘s words came in at the right time and were directed at Xia Luobing, ” Miss Xia , Yunxi has already called you sister-in-law. You should have prepared a present, right?”
All of a sudden, the eyes of the people at the dining table were fixed on Xia Luobing , as if they wanted to see through her!
“Sister-in-law hasn’t had a wedding with brother yet. Of course, I’ll give you a present when you arrive at the Huo Clan!” Huo Yunqi hopped over and stuffed a gift box into Xia Luobing’s hand. “Sister-in-law, I made this myself!”
Xia Luobing opened the box doubtfully. Zhuang Xinran also stretched her neck and saw that it was a pair of glazed ceramic dolls. The male doll had a cold expression and the female doll was dressed in police uniform. She was very heroic, completely following Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing’s example.
“Little girl!” Huo Yunqi nodded in satisfaction.
Huo Yunxi stuck out his tongue at Xia Luobing and looked at Zhuang Xinran , “Sister Xin Ran, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were coming today, so I didn’t prepare a gift for you. Don’t be angry!”
Zhuang Xinran was extremely unhappy, but he could only smile to show that he didn’t mind. He tightened his fingers and stared at Xia Luobing, “Miss Xia really didn’t prepare a present for Yunxi, right?”
Hateful woman, you really go against her everywhere!
Xia Luobing really wanted to grab Zhuang Xinran and throw him out, so as to avoid being an eyesore here.
“Yunxi, this is for you.” Xiao Luobing unfolded her palms. It was a platinum necklace, especially with a bullet hanging on it. After polishing, it looked very delicate. “I heard your brother say that you want something like this.”
At first, Xia Luobing really didn’t believe it at all. Whose daughter liked it, but Huo Yunqi insisted that it was the most suitable one.
At this moment, Huo Yunxi ‘s eyes lit up and he understood that Huo Yunqi was right!
“How beautiful!” Huo Yunxi shook Xia Luobing’s arm coquettishly, “Sister-in-law, you are so good to me!”
Although Huo Yunxi was delicate, she had always dreamed of being a policeman. However, due to Liu Yan’s obstruction, she was sent to the United States to study and was completely unlucky with the police academy. Hence, when she heard that Huo Yunqi had found a policeman to be his wife, she immediately ran back from the United States.
“Alright, alright, let’s eat!” Huo Zhengxiong looked at his daughter and smiled, “It’s rare for a family to gather together.”
After dinner, the servant placed fruit in the courtyard. Huo Zhengxiong and Liu Yan went upstairs to rest. Huo Yunqi and the three women were chatting in the courtyard.
Huo Yunxi grasped Xia Luobing’s hands and continued to pester her to tell police stories. The strange questions made Xia Luobing’s head stand on end.
“Aiya, sister-in-law, alright, don’t always frown!” Huo Yunxi blinked his eyes and smiled as he shook Xia Luobing’s arm. He used his gaze to signal her to look at Zhuang Xinran , “Sister-in-law, you must be on guard against her!”
Xiao Luobing was stunned for a moment.
Of course, she didn’t like Zhuang Xinran , but seeing Huo Yunxi and Zhuang Xinran ‘s familiar and friendly appearance, she should have known each other a long time ago and had a good relationship with each other. Why did she say that now?
Huo Yunxi was as smart as a little fox. She could guess what Xia Luobing was thinking from the expression on her face. She rolled her eyes and said, “She treated me well because of my brother. When we were young, she treated me well when my big brother was around. If my big brother wasn’t around, she would throw me aside! Hmph, she thought I was too young to remember!”
Seeing the little girl pouting, Xia Luobing couldn’t help but laugh. He patted Huo Yunxi ‘s head and said, “I really didn’t see that you have such a grudge! Be careful when dealing with you in the future!”
Xia Luobing liked Huo Yunxi ‘s true appearance very much and felt that she was much friendlier than Xia Luoxin.
“Sister-in-law, hurry up and go!” Huo Yunxi pushed Xia Luobing and urged anxiously, “Look at her pestering my brother again!”
Xia Luobing turned around to look. Indeed, Zhuang Xinran was looking up at Huo Yunqi. From Xia Luobing’s point of view, she could see the perfect outline of a woman’s face. Her eyes were filled with emotion. Against this night, she was truly charming!
“Sister-in-law, you go!” Huo Yunxi urged anxiously, pushing Xia Luobing, “Quickly get rid of her!”
The corners of Xia Luobing’s mouth twitched, and his face was full of black lines. This girl had watched too many police movies, right? She could easily annihilate others. Wasn’t this society a mess?
“Yunxi has grown up.” Zhuang Xinran smiled gently and placed the fruit plate in front of Huo Yunqi, “It’s getting more and more beautiful.”
Huo Yunqi said “yes”, but the expression on his face did not react at all, which made Zhuang Xinran feel very frustrated.
“Yun Qi, you may have misunderstood me.” Zhuang Xinran hesitated. She had always remembered Feng Shuo ‘s words. She wasn’t sure if Huo Yunqi really knew that she was the mastermind behind the last photo incident. She probed and said, “Did someone say something to you?”
Huo Yunqi looked in the direction of Xia Luobing and Huo Yunxi . Seeing the speculation in their conversation, his gaze became much warmer. He casually replied, “What did you say?”
Zhuang Xinran hesitated for a moment before raising his head and smiling at Huo Yunqi, “Nothing much. The Ten Miles Golden Beach cooperation project will start soon. The Zhuang Clan is Huo Clan’s biggest partner. Shall we hold a banquet to celebrate?”
Over the years, because of the Huo Corporation’s thighs, the Zhuang Corporation’s development was getting better and better, leaving both the Xia Corporation and Dow Corporation far behind.
“Alright, watch the arrangements!” Huo Yunqi nodded, got up and walked towards Xia Luobing and Huo Yunxi , leaving Zhuang Xinran in place.
” Xia Luobing , I want to see how long you can be proud of yourself!” Her eyes, which had just been so lovely, instantly turned gloomy, and her scarlet fingernails pinched into her flesh, ” Xia Luobing , I want to see how much longer you can be proud of yourself!”
“Bing Bing, I’ll take you home.” Huo Yunqi snatched her back from Huo Yunxi , glanced at the indignant little girl, and said with a spoiled smile, “There will be a banquet in a few days. I’ll bring you along.”
Hearing Huo Yunqi’s words, Huo Yunxi ‘s wrinkled face turned a little better. She blinked at Xia Luobing reluctantly and pouted, “Sister-in-law, you must also participate! Also, you must remember what I told you!”
Xia Luobing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he knew that the little girl was doing it for his own good. He nodded and said, “Yes, I know!”
“What?” Huo Yunqi had a puzzled expression on his face. The two of them seemed to have just met, right? They had already formed an alliance so quickly?
Xia Luobing threw a big white eye at Huo Yunqi, not stingy with his own mockery: “President Huo’s peach blossom is too good, Yunxi told me to be careful of a peach blossom coming out of the wall!”
” Huo Yunxi !” Someone had a black line on his face and was about to go berserk.
“Sister-in-law, you’re not righteous!” Huo Yunxi looked pitifully at Xia Luobing and ran away. He waved to the two of them in a safe area and said, “Let’s go!”
She was alone and could not watch them show their affection. However, if she attended the reception, she should be able to see him, right?
But he hadn’t seen her in three years, did he still remember her?
