The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

2. Another Spoiled Girl

Translator: Shirley-Zou

Huo Xiu bent down to carefully pick up her school report, but her eyes fell on Huo Lang’s shiny black leather shoes.

So was Uncle Lang still wearing leather shoes in his own bedroom?

Uncle was too elegant!

But when she picked up her school report, her clear eyes turned gloomy.

She had excellent grades and got full marks in every subject, which was shown clearly in her report.

But it seemed that Uncle didn’t even care to look at her grades and he signed his name unemotionally.

She had thought that as long as she had learned every subject well, Uncle would pay more attention to her. The barest hint of his smile was enough to lift her spirit.

However, he would not even do that!

“Thank you, Uncle!”

Huo Xiu thanked him in a low voice and felt happy in her heart all the time. After all, Uncle didn’t turn her down and signed his name for her, didn’t he?

She thought she couldn’t be too greedy and ask for too much.

She would become better and better. She believed that through her efforts, Uncle would definitely begin to like her.

Her thin figure left the room and walked towards the stairs.

“Uncle…”

Behind her, there came the same childish voice, which made her stop involuntarily. She turned to look at her with strong envy on her face.

This voice was with a soft and baby sense, which was different from hers.

It was sweet, but Huo Xiu felt extremely sour and bitter when she heard that.

Still at the door of that room, there was a little girl in a pink princess skirt with a doll in her arms.

The little girl seemed to have just woken up. Her red face was as cute as an apple, which made people can’t help but want to take a bite.

Huo Lang quickly walked out of the room, gave a kiss on the little girl’s soft face, and said in a soft voice, “Dear Xue’er, what’s the matter? Why did you wake up after such a short nap?” His spoiling tone seemed extremely different from the usual, which made him sound completely like another strange person.

“Xue’er had a nightmare of a big grey wolf! I was very scared.”

The little girl hooked Huo Lang’s neck and kept rubbing her cheek against his chest. She acted cutesy and said.

“Don’t be afraid, my darling Xue. Uncle will help you drive away the big grey wolf, okay?”

Huo Lang coaxed her in a soft voice. He gently patted the little girl’s back and comforted her.

“OK, with Uncle here, Xue’er won’t be afraid of the big grey wolf.”

Her soft voice made Huo Lang smile brightly, and then he held the little girl up in his arms to walk to her room.

Huo Xiu was very familiar with this scene. After envy, she felt very disappointed.

She also wanted to be held and coaxed by Uncle like Huo Xue.

When she had a nightmare, she wanted Uncle to stay by her side and help her drive away the demon in her dreams.

So she tried her best, hoping to attain the same spoil.

However, she always felt disappointed, so the level of her expectations was dropping. Now, as long as Uncle could show a smile to her, she would be happy for a long time, and even the demons in her dreams wouldn’t disturb her.

When Huo Lang turned around, he saw the skinny little figure at the stairway. His eyes were filled with thirst and envy.

But it also made him feel more and more disgusted.

When he turned around, his cold voice was like a sharp sword, stabbing at the little girl without hesitation, “Go down quickly!”

The little child didn’t even dare to make any sound of footsteps. She carefully stepped down the stairs, for fear that she would disturb him.

Huo Xiu walked into her messy room, and a tinge of gloom and coldness rushed over.

The yellowing light was not as bright as the star in the night, but it was also a kind of comfort, which slightly warmed her icy and cold heart.

It was more of a cellar than a room.

The small window was almost the size of a bowl. As long as the moon slightly moved, the light would disappear. It was moist and cold all year round, accompanied by the smell of wood decay.

The most complete furniture in the room was a small single bed, as well as the table and chair with no feet and many holes.

Except for this, there were all kinds of trash.

Shattered wood, buckets, the broom, the swob, and so on.

Even the thin bedsheets on the bed were stiff and cold, which were not enough to make her warm.

But in Huo Xiu’s heart, it was also a shelter for her. She had been living here for four years since the age of five…
