C47 Chest Tightness (1/2)
Huo Cheng's eyes dimmed as he thought about the warm, wet touch. Sooner or later, he thought, I'll have to beat you to a pulp in your bed.
Although An Zhimo did not raise her head, she could still feel Huo Cheng's unblemished gaze.
Huo Cheng's phone rang. An Zhimo took a peek and saw that his slender fingers refused to pick up the phone.
An Zhimo raised her head and stole a glance at the man. Just as she met his gaze, she immediately lowered her head.
The way the woman dodged left Huo Cheng feeling stuffy.
When the bell rang again, he slowly picked up, ”Mom …”
”I'm outside.”
”Alright, I'll be back right away.”
Upon hearing these words, An Zhimu heaved a sigh of relief.
Huo Cheng looked deeply at An Zhimo, who was secretly delighted, and snorted coldly, ”You have to think about what I've told you today after you return home.” I'm going to get an answer tomorrow. ”
An Zhimo, ”…”
”Did you hear that?”
”…”
”Talking to you?”
An Zhimo's body trembled slightly.
”...”
Silence reigned in the room. After returning from the outside, Zheng Si Chen remained silent, his face expressionless.
The Huo Family members were also silent because of Zhou Yan's words.
Huo Xinyang raised his head to look at the silent crowd and felt very sad.
Zhou Yan happened to meet Huo Xinyang's gaze. She hurriedly nudged the Old Master Zheng, then coughed lightly to signal for him to speak.
Old Master Zheng glanced at his wife, ”That's a vassal.”
Zheng turned his head. ”Dad.”
”Next month's 16th is an auspicious day. Our families' parents think that it is quite good, so you and Xinyang made the engagement on that day.”
Zheng Si Chen frowned when he heard this. He stood up after clenching his fists and apologized to the parents, ”Mom, Dad, Uncle Huo, Aunt Wang.” Zheng Si Chen said in a deep voice, ”I'm sorry, I didn't know that you would misunderstand this. Xin Yang and I always thought that they were only alumni. We definitely wouldn't get married. I'm sorry for letting you know this.”
”Pa …” Huo Xinyang's wine cup fell to the ground.
The glass cup fell to the ground and splashed all over the place.
”Xinyang, are you hurt?” Wang Hui quickly went over to his daughter to check on the situation.
Fortunately, the wine cup had fallen, and there were traces of red wine on the corners of his clothes.
However, Huo Xinyang's face was pale. He had clearly been hoping for a fluke, but in the next second, his entire heart was pushed into the abyss by that man.
She stood up and stormed out of the room.
Huo Cheng opened the door just in time to walk inside and bumped into his sister.
”What's wrong? Where's the rocket launcher?” Huo Cheng gripped Huo Xinyang's wrist tightly.
Huo Xinyang shook his head. His eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to leave, but Huo Cheng held on tightly to him.
Huo Jianguo stood up and looked towards Old Man Zheng, saying stiffly, ”Old Man Zheng, since Your Young Master doesn't like my daughter, then let's just forget about it.”
Mrs. Huo, who was still fuming, got up and was helped away by Wang Hui.
”Madam, Mr. and Mrs. Huo, that is not what I meant …” Zhou Yan quickly stopped them and shouted at Zheng, ”Shi Chen, go and explain yourself.”
Zheng was still sitting calmly on the spot, his eyes fixed on Huo Cheng who was standing by the door.
Huo Cheng took a long look at Zheng Si Chen and left with a disdainful sneer.
Huo Xinyang cried all the way to his house. The moment the car stopped, he rushed into the room with his hands covering his face.
