The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

7. Fairyland on Earth

Translator: Shirley-Zou

The immutable and frozen life made the time pass a little faster.

Three years later, the princess and the Cinderella in the castle were nine years old!

The princess could eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes. Everyone would coax and hold her when they saw her.

Huo Lang also held her in his palms and tried to protect her. He would give her exactly what she wanted.

The Cinderella ate the remains of a meal and dressed in an old-fashioned manner. Everyone avoided her and scolded her.

Huo Lang even refused to even look at her. Sometimes, he even forgot that there was such a person at his home.

The difference was not weakened by the loss of time. On the contrary, it was unchanged!

The villa of Family Huo was huge, which was with beautiful scenery and like a fairyland on earth.

There were orchards, gardens, and swimming pools…

From the spring of every year, the season when they began to be busy, all gardeners performed their duties and took care of the fruit trees and other flowers and grasses in the courtyard.

Maybe she didn’t know what the outside world was like. There were only the orphanage and this place in her memory.

She didn’t know when the Huo Family started living here. But there was a time when she went out with Mammy Wang, they didn’t go far away and only walked around near the villa.

Only then did Huo Xiu know that there were still some villages in the periphery where lived many farmers, many of whom were the gardeners of the Huos. The salary they earned could only enable them to live a life with just enough food and clothing.

Over the past three years, she had become more and more fond of the life in the utility room, and she also adapted to the indifference of everyone and the indifference of Uncle Lang.

But she had never given up. She always believed that Uncle would like her and be willing to talk to her gently one day.

Huo Xue went to the best kindergarten in the city. Every day, she would dressed up and be escorted by Huo Lang.

At that time, Huo Xiu had also already gotten up, but she had to work in the garden.

In the evening, Huo Lang would personally go to pick up Huo Xue and accompany her to have dinner and play. It was not enough to let servants serve her, so he even coaxed and fed her by himself.

At that time, Huo Xiu had to push with other servants at one place to eat the coarse food together, which was left by others.

Although her life was bitter, she was happy to occasionally have a look at Uncle.

When she finished her work, she would go to her favorite place, the garden house, where flowers never withered away. It was the most beautiful scenery in the villa.

Uncle and Huo Xue would also go there and they usually comfortably lied on the sofa in the middle of the garden house to enjoy the sunshine. Uncle would tell Huo Xue stories.

Huo Xue had ever seen them secretly and imagined with envy in her eyes that the girl beside Uncle would be her. She even could imagine the scent of Uncle, which was the aroma of happiness.

One day, Mammy Wang cautiously brought forward the idea of letting Huo Xiu go to school before Huo Lang went out.

“Go to school?” There was a gleam of puzzlement flashing in Huo Lang’s eyes. Well, he had forgotten about this matter.

“Yes sir, Miss Xiu is also nine years old. It happens that the primary school nearby begins its term. Is she also…”

There were primary schools in the nearby villages, but the facilities of them were much worse than those of the primary schools in the city. The nearby villagers would send their children there to study.

Huo Lang closed his laptop and said coldly, “Let her come here!”

“Yes!” Mammy Wang replied respectfully and hurriedly turned around to walk out.

She had never told this matter to Huo Xiu. After all, she didn’t know whether Master would agree.

That girl should be working in the orchard now.

Under the grape trellis in the orchard, Huo Xiu rolled her sleeves and greedily took a breath of the fresh air. She looked at the glittering and translucent dew on the grapes and smiled happily. She carefully held them with her hands, skillfully raised the scissors to crack them, and placed them in a basket beside her.

The cheerful smile on her face didn’t disappear when the dew wet her hair.

There was a clear voice coming from the intercom pinned on the waist of a servant not far away, “Please take Miss Xiu to meet Master in his study!”

The servant turned to look at Huo Xiu and repeated the words from the intercom in a high voice.

Huo Xiu heard it when the intercom rang, and she was very nervous and excited.

Did Uncle want to meet her?

Uncle finally took the initiative to meet her!

Huo Xiu happily picked up the basket and ran quickly towards the castle, ignoring the mud splashing from her feet.

Her dark blue clothes fluttered up and down along with her movements. Her soft black and bright hair fluttered in the air, and the sunshine spread on her like covering her with gold. She was like a forest elf, even though her clothes were not beautiful.

But right now, she was still the most beautiful elfin!

“Mrs. Wang!”

When Huo Xiu ran to the door, breathing heavily, Mammy Wang was waiting for her.

She called her obediently.

Although Wang didn’t like her, just like other servants, Huo Xiu became dependent on her over the years. She felt that Wang was her only relative in the castle.

“Hurry up and go in. It’s inappropriate to keep Master waiting!” Wang nodded, took the basket in her hand as a natural sequence and urged her.

Huo Xiu calmed down her nervous and excited expression and walked in the study.

She was afraid of smudging the carpet, so when she entered the door, she didn’t even have time to change into the slippers, and she went into Huo Lang’s study barefooted.
