The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

18. She Would Always be an Obedient Girl

Translator: 灵芝11

When a man hated a woman, she was wrong to laugh, cry, and even keep silence.

Even if she died, he would not forgive her!

Huo Xiu secretly clenched her fists and looked up at him, “I’m not carrying the torch for brother Yijun.”

Her voice was very soft, but she exerted every ounce of her energy because she didn’t want to be misunderstood again. She had already understood the meaning of love. She absolutely did not love Yijun.

Huo Lang stared at her with a mocking smile, and the coldness behind his eyes became deeper.

“Do you mean that you’re not in love with him, but he is with you?” Huo Lang squinted like a cheetah, which was lazy, aggressive, vicious but gentle, making people’s hair stand on end.

He stroked her face, it felt good. Her face was fair and translucent, her lips were red, and her eyes were bright. She was indeed a beauty, whose smile could enchant men. Was she trying to prove her charm to him?

“I… I don’t know!” She replied, after thinking about it. Yijun always liked to tease her. Did it mean he loved her?

“How pure you are!  No wonder Yijun is enchanted by you. I can stop Yijun from loving you. Are you willing to cooperate?”

Huo Lang’s sudden politeness made her stunned. Perhaps Uncle believed what she had said.

“As long as you don’t get angry, I am willing to do everything.” She really wanted to get his recognition and affection, so she would never let go of any chance.

“Do you want to ingratiate yourself with me?” Huo Lang’s voice suddenly became mild. If she listened carefully, she would discover that there was hidden danger.

Of course he wouldn’t believe that she just tried to get love and care from him as her ambition was hidden in her heart under the skin and flesh. And even if he cut open her chest, he might not see through her. Beneath her pure appearance, she hid a deliberate conspiracy.

She wanted to have a higher status in this family, just like her mother, who could withstand any humiliation in order to get what she wanted and rocket to a top status, and then turned into a vicious woman from a pitiable look.

“Uncle, please don’t hate me.” Huo Xiu mustered her courage to speak her mind, hugging Huo Long like a child who wanted to get paternal love.

Would their relationship be on the mend? She would always be an obedient girl!

Her height was only at his chest and she wrapped her skinny arm around his waist. She felt unbelievable at her own boldness. Perhaps she was too eager for that. Seeing that Huo Lang was not angry, she thought he had accepted her. It was the first time that she had been so close to him for so many years. As expected, Uncle’s embrace was very warm. She liked the smell of him!

“Is that enough?” Huo Lang dragged her away. “You have got what you wanted. It’s my turn now.”

He took her hand and strode towards the door.

Huo Xiu followed him confusedly. ‘Where is Uncle going?’

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Yijun, who had been worried in the room, craned his neck and just happened to see them go downstairs. He quietly followed them.

The garden was painted white with moonshine. In the moonlight, their shadows were lengthened.

Huo Lang was smearing her face with mud little by little. His motion was soft as if he was making up her face, a makeup that suited her. He wore a bright smile, and his starry eyes were like the reflection of light from a blade.

Uncle was smiling, it was good-looking. But a feeling of heartbreak was spreading. The air was full of the smell of mud. What Uncle wanted was to make her look ugly!

“Xiu.” Huo Lang called her intimately, “Never think about being with Yijun. You don’t deserve him!”

Yijun, who was peeking aside, felt his emotions churning. His hands were slowly clenched into fists.
