Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mrs. Huo immediately sat down beside Mr. Huo, looking worried. She ran her hand down his chest and said worriedly, “Hubby, calm down first. Don’t harm your body from getting angry…”
Then, Mrs. Huo turned to look at Huo You and scolded just like the countless times she had cooperated with Mr. Huo in the past, “Huo You, look at how angry you made your father. Was there something wrong with what your father scolded you about? It’s fine if you don’t reflect on yourself, but how can
you say things that hurt his feelings?!”
After giving Huo You a scolding, Mrs. Huo realized that she was angry about the slap she received in the car. She had clearly made up her mind to teach Mr. Huo a lesson so that he wouldn’t dare to touch her casually, but just now, Mrs. Huo had cooperated with Mr. Huo to scold Huo You instinctively.
Which part of her looked angry from that?
Mrs. Huo looked at Mr. Huo and their gazes met. As expected, Mrs. Huo noticed the guilt and satisfaction in Mr. Huo’s eyes. He was satisfied with her performance and felt guilty about the slap he gave her in the car as if he was venting his emotions. Mr. Huo held Mrs. Huo’s hand and squeezed it gently,
giving her an indiscernible smile.
Then, Mr. Huo looked at Huo You again and continued to put on the airs of a father who was extremely sad because his daughter had rebelled. He sighed and said, “Huo You, I know you have complaints about your mother and me, and I also know that you’re unwilling to get engaged to He Yu. Your mother
and I have given it careful consideration and feel that the marriage agreement was indeed rushed. It just so happens that because of Miss Hill’s birthday banquet, your engagement banquet didn’t go as planned. Why don’t we take the chance to cancel the marriage agreement? You can find another fiancé
you really like. Wouldn’t that be good?”
Huo You propped her chin on her hand and sneered in disdain. She looked coldly at Mr. Huo, who was wearing the smile of a loving father. “Since you’ve said that, you must have taken a liking to another partner to arrange for a political marriage. Why don’t you tell me about their conditions? Maybe they’ll
be able to move me.”
Mr. Huo gave Mrs. Huo a look, gesturing for her to talk to Huo You about this. After all, this was a topic related to love and marriage. As her mother, Mrs. Huo was more suitable to talk about this to Huo You.
Looking at Mr. Huo’s urging gaze, Mrs. Huo felt sadness in her heart. She turned around and looked at Huo You, who seemed to be covered in thorns. She forced a smile and said, “Youyou, at the banquet today, Dad and Mom got to know several young talents…”
Although Mrs. Huo’s words were fluent and her expression was natural as she described the basic information about those young talents, her mind was replaying a debate they had at home before Huo You came back.
When Mr. and Mrs, Huo had just returned to the Huo Family’s villa, Huo Feng had been back for a while. He had changed into soft and comfortable home clothes and was leaning against the kitchen door, acting spoiled to the female cook inside, clamoring for her to make supper for him.
“Auntie Liu, you don’t know how hungry I am right now. I can even eat an entire cow by myself…”
The female cook, Auntie Liu, liked Huo Feng very much. She chuckled and asked, “I heard that it’s a banquet organized by a world-class top-notch wealthy family. Why didn’t they let the guests eat till they were full?”
Huo Feng’s throat was slightly hoarse. He complained in a voice that was changing in the puberty phase, “Just because this is a banquet organized by a world-class top-notch family, which guest wouldn’t take it seriously? All of them went to attend in formal attire. With the tailored and fitting suit ‘m
wearing, my stomach would swell up just from eating a little. Even if the food at the banquet is all good dishes by Michelin chefs, I wouldn’t dare to eat too much.”
Auntie Liu’s heart ached very much and she quickly said, “Young Master, you’re growing. How can you go hungry for so long? Hurry up and go out to take a seat for a while. I’ll make you a bow! of small wontons to fill your stomach…”
‘As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Huo entered, they heard Huo Feng and the female cook talking and laughing. They were in a bad mood, so Mr. Huo vented his anger on Huo Feng.
He shouted in the direction of the kitchen, “Huo Feng, come out!”
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the kitchen instantly became silent.
Huo Feng patted the female cook’s shoulder lightly, gesturing for her to not be nervous. The female cook, whose face was filled with fear, relaxed a little before Huo Feng walked out.
Of course, Huo Feng also saw the slap marks on Mrs. Huo’s face at a glance, but Mrs. Huo avoided Huo Feng’s gaze, so Huo Feng didn’t ask.
