Chapter 26 - Superfluous Person (1/2)

Zhuang Xinran held the plate and froze there, the smile on his face petrified with pride.

Liu Yan’s face darkened as she looked in Xiao Luobing’s direction and said stiffly, “Braised fish is also prepared happily.”

Xia Luobing’s eyes fell on the attractive red-roasted fish and avoided Huo Yunqi’s chopsticks. She smiled and said, “There are too many thorns. I don’t want to eat them.”

She could directly target Zhuang Xinran , but she still had to maintain respect and courtesy towards Huo Yunqi’s mother.

A well-behaved dealer’s eldest young miss ran to someone else’s house to be a cook, that was enough!

Yunqi didn’t seem to understand what Xia Luobing meant. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Then I’ll help you pick out the Thorn.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire dining table instantly became quiet. Not only Zhuang Xinran , even Huo Zhengxiong , who didn’t pay much attention to the fights between women, looked at his son suspiciously. Was this still Huo Yunqi?

Huo Yunqi was the dream lover of a woman in C City, but he never brought a woman to public places. He also acted ruthlessly against women who were trying to curry favor with him like autumn winds sweeping away leaves. Zhuang Xinran was a good example.

It was precisely because of this that the people at the dining table looked at Huo Yunqi with astonishment on their faces, while Zhuang Xinran was so angry that she wanted to strangle Xia Luobing to death in minutes.

She looked better than Xia Luobing , knew Huo Yunqi longer than Xia Luobing , and the strength of the dealer was on par with the Xia Clan. Why did she, Zhuang Xin’ran, risk her power to obtain something that was easily snatched away by Xia Luobing ?

She was unwilling! Unwilling!

“Bing Bing, I’ve already picked out the fish bones. I can eat them now.” Huo Yunqi carefully placed the tender white fish on Xia Luobing’s plate and said warmly, “What else do you want to eat?”

Xia Luobing’s eyes flashed, and she lowered her head to eat the fish, feeling touched in her heart.

Ever since her mother died, Huo Yunqi was the first person to pick out a fish bone for her. Even Feng Shuo had never done this before.

Seeing the emotions in the woman’s eyes, Huo Yunqi sighed in his heart. This woman was a paper tiger that was strong from the outside, but was actually more fragile than anyone else.

“Eat more if you like!” Huo Yunqi’s voice became softer and softer as he said half-jokingly, “I’ll pick out a fish bone for you!”

Xia Luobing blushed and raised her head to face Huo Yunqi’s smiling eyes. She stuck a mouthful of fish in her mouth and forgot to swallow it. Why was this guy so abnormal today?

Zhuang Xinran saw the interaction between the two of them. Her rationality was on the verge of collapse. However, she was the general manager of the Zhuang Clan. She was not a brainless vase. She immediately smiled at Liu Yan, who had a dark face. “Auntie, Yunqi and Luo Bing have such a good relationship. I didn’t know that Yunqi was so good at taking care of people.”

Xia Luobing rolled his eyes at Zhuang Xinran and sow discord!

Sure enough, Liu Yan, who originally did not like Xia Luobing, ‘s expression immediately collapsed. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and stared at Xia Luobing and reprimanded, “Yun Qi has already worked very hard to manage the company during the day. As a wife, she should take good care of him!”

Liu Yan had always regarded Huo Yunqi as more important than her own eyes, so how could she tolerate her son taking care of a woman she did not like!

Xia Luobing did not answer back, but obediently nodded her head, “Alright.”

She didn’t want to be cheated by Zhuang Xin Ran. Anyway, if she said something nice, she wouldn’t die. She, Xia Luobing , had always been able to bend and stretch.

“Yun Qiyue, eat more fiber vegetables. It’s good for your health.” Xia Luo Bing gently helped Huo Yun Qi pick up the dishes. “The seawater is polluted now. How dirty is this shrimp?”

It was rare to see Xia Luobing being gentle, so Huo Yunqi naturally had to cooperate. He smiled and nodded, “You’re right!”

Zhuang Xinran ‘s face turned green and pale. Liu Yan’s face was also ashen. Just as she was about to explode, Huo Zhengxiong stared at her and could only suppress the anger in her heart. After a meal, several people had their own thoughts. In the end, it was rare for them to calm down and eat sullenly.

After dinner, the housekeeper gave the fruit. Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing naturally loved each other. Zhuang Xinran was so angry that her nose was about to smoke.

“Yunqi, I met Xin Ran and brought her here today. Take her home later.” Liu Yan handed a piece of watermelon to Zhuang Xinran . “Today, Xin Ran was so busy that she was exhausted.”

Huo Yunqi did not even look at Zhuang Xinran . He concentrated on peeling the lychee and handed it to Xia Luobing. He said indifferently, “I want to send the ice home. Let the driver send Miss Zhuang back.”

He knew that his mother could not accept Xia Luobing, but no matter what, she was his wife. How could she be bullied by another woman?

Xia Luobing raised her eyebrows and smiled. She also stuffed a litchi into Huo Yunqi’s mouth and smiled at Zhuang Xinran . “Miss Zhuang must be tired from coming all the way here.”
