The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

25. Mockery

When the care became a burden and the love became a cumber, would it be him or her who got hurt?

Huo Xiu was dragged out of the dining room. A great stir was caused inside immediately. Huo Yijun not only ignored Jiang Yayan, but also cared for “the help” again. Such a kind master was rare!

“Xue, didn’t you say that she was one of your maids? Why is Huo Yijun being so good to her? This is the second time.” The girl standing beside Xue shouted.

Huo Xue also seethed with anger. There must be something happening between Yijun and Xiu. She began to feel uneasy, but she still tried to explain.

“You don’t know Yijun very well. He can’t stand seeing people in our family being bullied, even it’s just a maid. That’s all.” she insisted.

Jiang Yayan looked at the girl who had been dragged away through the window, and then his eyes fell on Huo Yijun again. The person he hated the most was Huo Yijun. Did he like this ugly girl?  If so, he couldn’t let her go, then.

By the side of the washbasin, Huo Yijun let go her hand and sighed, “The last thing you need is kindness, but unfortunately, you are always so kindhearted, which is worrying. Are you an idiot?” He got more and more inflamed with passion and almost went mad. What should he do with such an idiot who could not protect herself well?

She knew how embarrassed herself was now. Why would he turn up every time when she was in a dilemma?

Looking down at the ground, she said indifferently, “Don’t you trouble yourself about me. You can leave now. Don’t come to me, or hold my hand. I’m nothing to you.” She knew what she had said was too much, but she did not want to smile at him because she would reveal the fact that she did not hate him if she did. Actually, she really wanted to treat him as her elder brother.

“Huo Xiu, you don’t have to pretend at school as Uncle Lang won’t know it anyway!” Huo Yijun wetted his handkerchief and turned around. Noticing that she stepped back far away, he beckoned, “Come on, be a nice girl and let me wipe your face.”

Seeing that she still didn’t move, he went forward to pull her!

She dodged agilely and raised her head, “Brother Yijun, thank you so much for your always helping me, but I don’t want to go back on my words. I promised Uncle that I wouldn’t approach you, so…” Only the eyes were clear and bright on her dirty face, “Please leave me alone!”

She didn’t wash her face. She just wiped it with her hands in front of the mirror, leaving dirty traces, and then she walked outside.

He stopped her and dragged her towards the basin again, “Wash your face clean and let others know how beautiful you are. Why do you submit to such a humble life? Why do you always listen to Uncle Lang? Have you ever thought of resisting? In that case, why can’t you be nicer to me?”

He got the flood of emotion out of him which had been stored up for a long time and he suppressed Huo Xiu, who was small and weak, and wiped the dirty thing off her face gently but stubbornly.

Her skin was as bright and translucent as a crystal, her lips were ruddy and luscious, and her clear eyes were shining! She was so beautiful. He couldn’t help but feel stunned. She had become even more pretty over the past three years.

He subconsciously lowered his head. But she suddenly pushed him away with all her strength and ran ahead. He seemed to see her crying.

She did not cry though she had been jeered at and insulted by others, but he made her cry. How detestable he was for he made such a kind-hearted girl hate him?

He leaned against the door with his eyes full of desolation.
