Chapter 666: There’s Something Going On

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Huo Yichen came, there was no need for Murong Qiao to work in the kitchen.

Ye Zhen was only in charge of sending the things over, so he didn’t disturb the President and Mrs President’s wonderful time. Hence, he bade farewell very consciously and left the room.

“By the way, my brother and An Nuo will come over for a meal tonight.”

Looking at Huo Yichen, who was busy in the kitchen with his back facing him, Murong Qiao added.

Inviting Murong Chen over for dinner was also a last-minute decision. Huo Yichen didn’t know about it yet.

“Together?” Huo Yichen responded. He didn’t stop washing the ingredients.

Murong Qiao understood the confusion in his voice and replied, “When I called An Nuo, my brother was beside her.”

She hadn’t thought about it carefully just now, but after hearing Huo Yichen’s words, her attention was focused on this aspect.

According to the usual schedule, An Nuo should have already returned to the neighborhood she lived in when she answered the call.

Thinking about it this way, her brother was beside her at that time…

Murong Qiao supported her cheek with her right hand and a trace of interest flashed across her eyes. She wondered if she should pull An Nuo over for a private chat when she came later.

However, as soon as she focused her attention, it was snatched away by Huo Yichen’s busy back.

From the angle of the sofa in the living room, she could see Huo Yichen busy in the kitchen from Murong Qiao.

The air conditioner in the house was on full blast, and the heater could even make her face turn slightly red. After Huo Yichen entered, he took off his coat and only wore a white shirt. The cuffs on his wrists were slightly rolled up because he needed to wash the ingredients, revealing the very beautiful lines of his forearms.

He was clearly someone who usually sat in the office like her.

Murong Qiao subconsciously touched her soft abdomen and sized up Huo Yichen’s obvious figure.

“What’s wrong?” Feeling the gaze from behind, Huo Yichen turned around to look at her.

Murong Qiao asked in her heart, “I don’t see you going to the gym usually. Why do you look so strong?”

A muffled chuckle sounded from Huo Yichen’s side, seemingly because of Murong Qiao’s question.

He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he first brought everything over and placed it on the table. Then, he wiped his hands clean. After confirming that he was not dirty, he approached Murong Qiao.

Looking at Murong Qiao, who had almost fallen into the softness of the sofa, Huo Yichen bent down slightly and closed the distance between the two of them, looking into her eyes without blinking.

“Then do you want to try?” He deliberately dragged out his voice to tease her.

Almost in the next second, Huo Yichen saw an extremely faint red color spreading up from Murong Qiao’s neck. Then, as if it was dyed with the afterglow of the setting sun, her face changed color.

It was impossible not to think about it.

The person who she felt was delicious was right in front of her. Seeing Huo Yichen lean over to talk to her, Murong Qiao tried her best to control her gaze and not drift away, but she could still see how wonderful the scenery inside the other party’s shirt collar was from this angle.

Before she could answer this question, the doorbell sounded at the door.

Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. “Go, go, someone’s coming.”

As if she had been saved, she reached out and pushed Huo Yichen to open the door.

Seeing this, Huo Yichen could only smile regretfully and stop teasing her. Then, he stood up and walked towards the door.

The people who came were An Nuo and Murong Chen.

“Good evening.” Seeing Huo Yichen open the door, An Nuo, who was about to extend her arms to hug him, froze.

Huo Yichen nodded as a greeting. Then, his gaze met Murong Chen, who was standing behind An Nuo. After a long while, he turned his body to make way for the two of them to enter.

An Nuo walked in front, and behind her, Murong Chen carried the bags in and handed a portion to Huo Yichen.

“Qiao—I miss you so much.” As soon as An Nuo saw Murong Qiao, she couldn’t help but pounce on her.

During the time the two of them lived separately, she had completely tasted what it felt like to not see each other for a day.

Murong Qiao caught her helplessly. “How long has it been?”

“It’s clearly been a long time.” An Nuo complained aggrievedly.

It was only in front of Murong Qiao that she would show such a coquettish look.

The sticky appearance of the two girls together made one want to smile. This scene was also seen by Murong Chen, who had just entered.

He first placed the things he had brought to the side and prepared them before greeting his Little Sister.

“You guys play first. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if there’s anything else I can help with.” Murong Chen was very self-aware when he came in.

Murong Qiao replied and watched as her Big Brother went to look for Huo Yichen.

After the other party pulled away, she remembered what she was thinking about just now. She turned around with a gossipy expression and looked at An Nuo, who was sitting beside her.

“Tell me, what’s the situation?” She asked directly.

An Nuo was stunned for a moment before she stammered, “What… what’s going on?”

“You and my brother.” Murong Qiao raised her chin.

Just thinking about it made her feel that there was something fishy.

Not to mention the two of them coming together, An Nuo should have been at home when she called just now.

Murong Qiao had never cared much about An Nuo’s relationship situation. It was only today that she realized that the other party seemed to have asked a few questions about her Big Brother, Murong Chen.

Now that she suddenly thought about it and connected these things together, there was a different feeling between An Nuo and her Big Brother.

“I just… coincidentally met him,” An Nuo replied vaguely.

Murong Qiao revealed a suspicious expression. “Really? It’s really just a coincidence?”

“Yes…” An Nuo nodded with certainty.

It was indeed a coincidence that she met Murong Chen. After all, when she called her, she didn’t know that he would suddenly appear behind her.

An Nuo was also glad that Murong Qiao didn’t ask any other questions. After all, in front of someone she was familiar with, An Nuo really didn’t know how to lie.

Under Murong Qiao’s suspicious gaze, An Nuo grabbed the pillow beside her angrily and hit Murong Qiao.

“You’re still talking about me. How was your honeymoon trip some time ago?” An Nuo casually found a question and pulled it over.

Seeing that the other party was clearly trying to change the topic, Murong Qiao was in a good mood and didn’t expose this point, leaving a little space for An Nuo.

Because she had already obtained the answer she wanted from An Nuo’s reaction just now.

Fortunately, Murong Qiao followed An Nuo’s words and said, “Not bad.”

However, when her attention was pulled away, she recalled her strange experience in the palace and the very difficult princess.

“The evaluation isn’t very high… What happened?” An Nuo hit the nail on the head.

An Nuo and Murong Qiao had lived together for so long. They were used to each other’s tone and it was obvious that they were thinking about something.

Seeing that Murong Qiao didn’t look very happy when she mentioned the trip, An Nuo immediately guessed that something was wrong.

She was not an outsider. Murong Qiao immediately told her about the time she and Huo Yichen went to Country X and met Princess Sofia, as well as what happened after that..
