Chapter 296 Wang Qing and her daughter really don't have much of a brain.
"Mr. Huo, Miss Liu,"
Upon hearing the commotion, Xu Zhiyuan immediately broke free from the crowd and strode over.
He caught a glimpse of Xu Xiaofan's angry yet dejected expression, and understood the gist of the matter. He glared at Xu Xiaofan and reprimanded him sternly:
"Xiao Fan, what are you doing? Get out of here right now!"
Xu Xiaofan was startled by her father's sudden appearance and scolding. She dared not look Xu Zhiyuan in the eye and could only slink away.
Xu Zhiyuan watched his daughter's departing figure and sighed inwardly. He knew that his daughter had always harbored fantasies about Huo Muchen, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. He could only try his best to guide his daughter to face reality.
Turning back, Xu Zhiyuan gave Huo Muchen and Liu Shiyin an apologetic smile:
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Liu, I'm so sorry, Xiao Fan is young and doesn't know any better. She's caused you trouble."
Huo Muchen nodded slightly, saying nothing more, while Liu Shiyin smiled gently, indicating that she didn't mind.
"Uncle Xu, it's alright,"
Seeing that the two men did not seem to blame him, Xu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and then invited them to continue attending the banquet.
"Is it not so scary after all?"
Huo Muchen and Liu Shiyin stood side by side on the balcony of the banquet hall, gazing at the night view outside. The city's neon lights twinkled under the night sky, like countless stars adorning the darkness.
Huo Muchen gently swirled the red wine in his glass, took a sip of the rich liquid, a smile playing on his lips, and turned to Liu Shiyin, asking softly.
Liu Shiyin nodded gently and replied:
"You're definitely not afraid. They're all just flattering you and trying to please you. But as long as you're here, I feel very at ease."
Upon hearing Liu Shiyin's reply, Huo Muchen didn't speak, but simply smiled. He reached out and gently pulled Liu Shiyin into his arms, the two nestled together.
"Wang Qing and her daughter really don't have any brains."
Huo Muchen gently put down his wine glass, turned around and looked at the mother and daughter who were mingling among the guests in the banquet hall, his eyes revealing disdain and contempt.
He shook his head slightly and continued:
"Wang Qing is ruthless and never considers the consequences of her actions, but her impulsiveness and recklessness often make things worse. Her daughter, on the other hand, is a hopeless romantic. A few sweet words can make her completely swayed, while a few harsh words can drive her crazy. She has absolutely no judgment."
Huo Muchen's words were full of sarcasm towards the mother and daughter.
He raised his glass again, took a small sip of red wine, and glanced at the mother and daughter once more. He watched them move effortlessly among the guests, their faces adorned with fake smiles, and a cold laugh crept into his heart.
"But she's quite happy. When she does something wrong, her mother helps her deal with it. Look at the way Uncle Xu looks at her; it's full of affection."
Looking at the loving family of three, Liu Shiyin said with some sadness,
Aren't you happy with me?
Huo Muchen's question startled Liu Shiyin, who then quickly replied:
"You know I love you very much, and of course I rely on you so much because I feel happy."
“Everyone’s happiness is different. We can’t just see what others have and ignore what we have. When my parents come back, I’ll take you to meet them. They really like girls and will definitely love you very much.”
Huo Muchen kissed Liu Shiyin's forehead and said,
"Your parents..."
"Mr. Huo, may I speak with Miss Liu alone?"
Just as Liu Shiyin was about to ask some questions about Huo Muchen's parents, she was interrupted by Xu Zhiyuan, who suddenly appeared.
"Don't worry, it'll only be a few words. I'll take good care of her."
Seeing Huo Muchen's cold and hesitant gaze, Xu Zhiyuan quickly said,
