Chapter 27

Huo Qiao didn't intend to start a conversation with the other party, so he turned around and walked towards the gate.

Shen Muqian frowned slightly, paused, and finally lifted his heels up.

The two walked in tandem.

Looking at the slender figure in front of him, Shen Muqian somehow felt that Huo Qiao had changed.

When she saw him in the past, her almond eyes were full of brilliance.

But now, Huo Qiao looked at him coldly and distantly.

It was like looking at an unrelated stranger.

A trace of indescribable irritability suddenly emerged from the bottom of Shen Muqian's heart.

Could it be that what she said on the phone last time was true?
Did she really empathize with fifth master Xie?

However, soon Shen Muqian felt that he was worrying too much.

This must be another way for Huo Qiao to deliberately attract his attention.

Thinking of this, Shen Muqian couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when he looked at the girl.

I hope that Huo Qiao will be more sensible later, and don't do anything that will misunderstand Ruoxuan.

Go into the living room.

The gorgeous and extravagant decoration style made Huo Qiao dizzy for a moment.

There are two people sitting on the other side of the sofa, they are the Huo family and his wife.

"Qiao Qiao, why are you standing at the door?" The woman in a dark green delicate satin dress was the first to notice Huo Qiao's arrival, with a gentle smile on her face.

However, this smile suddenly froze when he saw Shen Muqian following behind.

Mother Huo frowned: "Did you come together?"

"Auntie, you misunderstood." Shen Muqian smiled politely, "I just happened to meet Qiao Qiao at the door."

Huo Mu's complexion improved.

The middle-aged man who was over forty took a sip of the tea on the table, and said casually, "Come in and sit down."

Huo Qiao's expression remained unchanged, and he walked over.

Shen Muqian was two steps behind her.

After both of them were seated, Mother Huo asked softly, "Mu Qian, have you had lunch yet?"

Shen Muqian replied with a gentle attitude: "Auntie, I have used it."

Huo's mother smiled and said, "You are here to find Ruoxuan, right? She is spending..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I haven't eaten yet." Huo Qiao leaned lazily on the sofa, with a soft voice.

Mother Huo, who was interrupted, looked a little unhappy, and looked up at the time: "What time is it, how could it be possible that you haven't had lunch yet?"

Huo's mother was sure that Huo Qiao was deliberately disrupting her chat with Shen Muqian.

Huo Qiao only turned his head and glanced at Father Huo, his apricot eyes drooping slightly: "I'm afraid that if I come back late, you and Dad won't want me."

Hearing this, Huo's mother's face was slightly stiff, and her expression was annoyed: "What are you talking about, child?"

Then he raised his voice and ordered the servants to prepare lunch.

"Qiao Qiao, tell us the truth, have you offended fifth master Xie?" Mother Huo said seriously.

"No." Huo Qiao shook his head, but his wandering eyes betrayed her.

"Idiot!" Huo's father snapped, "Marrying fifth master Xie was the way you chose in the first place. No matter how unwilling you are, you can't show half of it in front of fifth master Xie."

Huo Qiao replied dissatisfied: "But he is a sick man. In the three days since I married him, he has been admitted to the hospital several times."

Huo's father stared at her like an eagle: "Does Fifth Master Xie go to the hospital these few times have anything to do with you?"

Huo Qiao bowed his head in silence, as if he had a guilty conscience.

"You!" Huo's father suddenly became angry, and his tone was cold, "Fifth Xie can die of illness or die naturally, but the only thing is that you can't be mad at you. Are you trying to kill the Huo family?"

"Is it my fault that he is in poor health?" Huo Qiao whispered back.

"Huo Qiao!" Mother Huo's tone suddenly became more serious, "You are already married, you can no longer be as unruly and willful as before, you understand?"

"Fifth Xie has a special status. If you make a mistake, not only will you be in danger, but even our Huo family may be in danger."

Huo Qiao's expression froze, apparently frightened by what Huo's mother said.

It took a while to come back to his senses, and he said in a muffled voice: "Got it."

At this time, there was the sound of slippers trampling on the stairs, and the soft tone was a bit shy.

"Mom and Dad, is Brother Muqian here?"

Liu Ruoxuan came down from the second floor wearing a white dress. The first thing she saw was Shen Muqian's figure. When she turned her eyes, she saw Huo Qiao.

He stopped suddenly, and then smiled as if nothing had happened: "Qiao Qiao is here too."

Liu Ruoxuan walked up to Shen Muqian and sat down, receiving a gentle smile and an intimate hand from the man.

"Qiao Qiao and Mom and Dad are still here." Liu Ruoxuan blushed slightly, and looked at Huo Qiao with some scruples.

It seems that Huo Qiao's behavior of pouring tea last time left a lot of psychological shadow on Ruoxuan.

Shen Muqian clenched his fiancée's hand distressedly, and looked at Huo Qiao with some vigilance.

I'm afraid that Huo Qiao will go crazy like last time.

However, Huo Qiao acted as if he hadn't seen the interaction between the two of them, and only turned to ask the servant: "Is lunch ready yet? I'm starving to death."

The servant carefully glanced at Madam's face, bowed and replied: "Not yet."

Mother Huo said, "Eat some fruit when you're hungry."

Liu Ruoxuan said in a soft voice: "Hasn't Qiao Qiao eaten lunch yet? There are still some jujube cakes that my mother made for me at noon, how about I go get them for you?"

"Your mother made it for you, you can eat it yourself." Facing the well-behaved and obedient biological daughter, Father Huo's tone was not as severe as when he scolded Huo Qiao just now.

"Your father is right. After eating the cakes I made for so many years, I'm afraid I'm tired of eating them. If you like them, you can keep them for yourself." Huo's mother said softly with a smile.

Huo Qiao's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the family of three indifferently.

Huo Mu didn't know how to make pastries before.

But now she started to learn how to make pastries for her own daughter.

This great maternal love is really moving.

"It's okay." Liu Ruoxuan smiled understandingly, "If I want to eat, mom will make it for me next time, won't she?"

But Huo Qiao was different.

Even if she wanted to eat, Huo's mother would not make it for her again.

For her daughter's understanding, Huo's mother felt extremely relieved, and motioned to Huo Qiao: "You still don't thank my sister?"

"I'm sorry." Huo Qiao said in a calm tone, "I'm allergic to jujube cake."

After saying that, she reached out to grab the fruit on the table.

But Liu Ruoxuan suddenly raised her hand to block her face.

Shen Muqian looked at his fiancee suspiciously: "Ruoxuan?"

Liu Ruoxuan put down her hand embarrassingly, looked carefully at Huo Qiao, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I thought Qiao Qiao would..."

Although the words were not finished, everyone could hear her unfinished meaning.

He thought Huo Qiao was going to bully her again.

Everyone in unison thought of the last time Huo Qiao splashed hot tea on Liu Ruoxuan, and the atmosphere in the whole living room suddenly condensed.

Huo Qiao calmly picked up two grapes, peeled off the skins, and threw the pulp into his mouth: "The taste of these grapes has changed."

Huo Mu said with a bad face: "The fresh grapes that were picked this morning, how could it be possible to change the taste?"

"Then why did I smell of tea?" Huo Qiao casually wiped his hands with a paper towel, "Don't put the broken grapes on display, it's really disgusting."

Father Huo said with a cold face: "The last time you poured tea on Ruoxuan, shouldn't you apologize to Ruoxuan?"

"Father, it's okay, Qiao Qiao didn't do it on purpose." Liu Ruoxuan lowered her eyes in a depressed mood, "It's normal for Qiao Qiao to hate me, I stole Qiao Qiao's original life."

Shen Muqian hurriedly comforted her and said, "Ruoxuan, what nonsense are you talking about? These belong to you in the first place, if you want to take them away, it's also..."

It was also Huo Qiao who took away the life that originally belonged to you.

"Huo Qiao." Huo's father said in a low voice, with undeniable strength, "Apologize."

I don't know if it's an apology for the tea splash last time.

He still apologized for robbing Liu Ruoxuan of her 20-year life as a young lady.

Or both.

Huo Qiao sat expressionlessly, with a frosty glint in his apricot eyes.

Her voice was cold: "Why don't you explain clearly what you want me to apologize for."
