The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

13. Another Two Years Passed in a Flash

Translator: 灵芝11

When the girl matured, she was like a pearl in the shell finally washed away its exterior surface and revealed its lustre.

She was as white as a fluorescent lamp and as bright as the sunlight!

Another two years passed in a flash!

Huo Xue had long naturally curly hair, while Huo Xiu still wore short hair, who had gradually been used to that hairstyle.

Their figures also began to slowly develop at puberty, just like the buds are getting ready to burst. Their breasts began to bulge slowly but was not obvious! And their skin was fair touched with pink rather than pure white, indicating that they were entering upon the adolescence.

Huo Xiu was slightly taller than Huo Xue. Though she wore short hair, she had beautiful and charming features which made her look like a pretty teenage boy from afar. Moreover, many of her clothes were given by Wen Ziyang, so she looked more like a teenage boy!

Even the sun was overshadowed by her bright smile. The servants discussed in secret that it was undeniable that Miss Xiu was more beautiful than Miss Xue as beauty still could be found in her even though she had no fine clothes or long hair.

The little girl gradually had her own thoughts. She had something unknown at age six, and she had something unknown at the age of ten, but now she understood everything!

Huo Xiu understood that no matter what she did, Uncle would never like her as if he was born to hate her. Strangely, she was unable to hate him. When seeing him, she still felt affectionate and thirsted for his concern and love, which probably was also innate, just like his hatred!

Huo Xue was precocious. The most important thing in the exclusive private school was not to compare the academic achievements but the family fortune. She became the undisputed princess in school, giving herself airs like an arrogant peacock! Surrounded by many boys, she had learned about the relationships between men and women long ago. She became more and more fond of clinging to Huo Lang because she knew that no one would be more outstanding than Uncle. She enjoyed the pursuit of boys, pretending to be very obedient in front of Huo Lang and staying in his arms like she had done at the age of six, but her feeling for him had changed!

Hearing that the servant praised Huo Xiu was beautiful, she was very angry!

On this day, Wang went to look around in the garden, finding Huo Xiu squatting down in flowering shrubs. Then she strode toward her!

“Miss Xiu, Sir just called and said that a guest would come today. Pick some flowers to decorate the living room and some fruit as well…”

Huo Xiu, who was weeding in the garden, stood up with the weeds in her hand, asking curiously, “Who is the guest? It seems that there has never been any guest coming!” She had never seen any relatives or friends since she came to the Huo family.

“Why would I know? You’d better go and do it quickly.” Mammy Wang moved her plump body and left again. ‘Alas! Though they are both human beings, their fates are totally different. Miss Xue is getting gussied up upstairs and wears the best clothes to welcome the guest. Similarly as an adopted daughter, Miss Xiu is doing the housework.’ Wang felt sad for her. ‘Even it is a puppy, he should have had affection for her for so many years. Miss Xiu was actually a pretty good child!

Huo Xiu wiped the sweat off her face, putting the weeds aside. She wished she had time to pick the flowers to decorate the living room and then to pluck the fruit from the tree.

Holding the freshly picked flowers, she stood at the door looking inside. The guest had already come and was sitting opposite Uncle. He looked much older than Uncle and somewhat bore resemblance to him.

“Lang, the company runs very well in recent years. You are indeed a genius in this field. Thank you very much for not giving up.” Huo Fan, the eldest son of Huo family, had refused to take over the company and eloped with his girlfriend many years ago!

At that time, Huo Lang was only 13 years old. Since Huo Fan left, Master Ji was so angry that he had a stroke and died soon. The 13-year-old Huo Lang had to shoulder the heavy burden of his family. He managed the company while studying. When all the people thought that Huo Group would go bankrupt, it had developed, reorganized and transitioned at an astonishing speed in the past five years.

The 14-year-old Huo Lang spent more than one year finding out the problem of the company and then began to carry out drastic reorganization. He closed the branch without income, turn to investing other emerging industries and introduce the new management approaches. Under his management, the first entertainment company he bought had already become an international media company, and the five-star chain hotel he invested had also achieved impressive results around the world. In addition, the electric industry he entered had also been prosperous recently.

He was an independent thinker and handled affairs in a decisive manner.

He was ranked as the best CEO of the year on Forbes at the age of 18!

A beautiful teenage boy sat in the tree, lowering his head to look at the “beautiful teenage boy” under the tree with his eyes filled with a fascinating and elegant smile. His blond hair was fluttering in the wind with petals, and he had a guitar on his back.

Huo Xiu stood under the tree with the cornflower in hand, which represented  the beautiful encounter!

No wonder this guest looked a little like Uncle as he was Uncle’s elder brother. Huo Xiu stood outside the door holding flowers, pondering if she should go inside.

“Why are you so slow? The guest is already here. Take the flowers in and replace them!” Seeing Huo Xiu standing outside the door foolishly, Mammy Wang gave her a shove. Actually, the guest came ahead of time, and Mr. Huo Lang must have made the call when they were on the way.

Huo Xiu hurriedly nodded and stepped into the living room carefully, trying not to make any sound. She crept to the vase and replaced what was inside with fresh flowers! She wanted Uncle to notice her as well as was afraid that she would be seen by Uncle. Such an ambivalence was getting stronger and stronger!

Huo Lang caught a glimpse of her. In fact, he had already noticed her since she stood at the door and had thought it was a boy at a glance. What happened to her clothes? Where did she get the boy’s clothes? His eyes were following her!

Huo Xiu could not help secretly peeking at Huo Lang. When she had eye contact with him, she hurriedly looked away and felt her heart pounding in her chest

for fear or something else. However, Why did she also feel strangely happy?

After arranging the flowers in that vase, she carefully went out in silence, desperately avoiding being discovered by anyone!

After she left, Huo Lang turned his head and smiled at Huo Fan.

“Brother, you wouldn’t have come back from England just for expressing your thanks, would you?” He asked, taking a sip of green tea. He didn’t believe that his elder brother, who had been away for so many years and now turned up suddenly, would specially come back to visit him.

Huo Fan seemed to have something on his mind, but he was hesitant, “Lang…actually…”

“Fan, we are family. There’s nothing you should hide from me. Just say whatever you want!” Huo Lang seemed to be able to tell something from his elder brother’s depression.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Huo Fan summoned up his courage and said to Huo Lang, “Can… you help me take care of Yijun?”

Huo Lang was a little surprised. “Where are you going, then?”  He suddenly had a nasty feeling. ‘Fan asked me to take care of nephew, then where is he going?’

“I’m going to do something very important. Don’t ask me what it is. Only you can help me take good care of Yijun. Promise me!”

“He is the descendant of the Huo Family and also my nephew. Of course I will take good care of him. Don’t worry!” Huo Lang had to reassure him first. ‘What on earth had happened to my brother?’

Huo Xiu came to the orchard again holding a basket. Under the apple tree, she stood on tiptoe to pick the apple.

Next to her was a big banyan tree, which was like a natural umbrella.

“Tiny tot, give me an apple!”

Huo Xiu was startled by the sudden voice. Where did the voice come from? She looked along the direction of that voice.

On the tree sat a cute boy, who had fair skin, exquisite and beautiful features, blond hair, a pair of clear and bright eyes, as well as thin and pink lips.

He was looking down at her while she was also looking up at him. They were destined to get entangled in the future during the time they looked at each other!
