Chapter 6: He Doesn’t Seem to Like Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two Huo brothers lived in Sheng City. Although they did not see each other every day, they still saw each other frequently. As such, Lin Xiaowan was very familiar with Qiao You’an.

Lin Xiaowan called out, “Sister!”

Lin Xiaowan’s voice was soft and sweet. It even sounded a little childish.

Qiao You’an looked at Lin Xiaowan gently as though she was looking at her precious sons. “You’re awake.”

…

Qiao You’an was not in a rush to talk about Huo Zheng. Instead, she and Lin Xiaowan brought the children to the amusement park. With her nanny and the aunt from Huo Zheng’s house, it was extremely easy to look after the children.

Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were very fond of Lin Xiaowan. They held her hands and skipped around happily.

After the amusement park, they went to have dinner before they finally went back.

When Lin Xiaowan saw that Dabao and Erbao had fallen asleep in the car, she asked gently, “Sister, why don’t you stay the night?”

Qiao You’an still wanted to speak to Lin Xiaowan about Huo Zheng so she readily agreed.

The two of them continued chatting before Lin Xiaowan asked hesitantly, “Sister, you visited so suddenly today. Did Huo Zheng say something?”

Lin Xiaowan had just mentioned breaking up with Huo Zheng yesterday, and Qiao You’an visited today. Moreover, Qiao You’an also asked if Huo Zheng had bullied her in one of her earlier messages. The reason for Qiao You’an’s visit was obvious.

“Since you addressed me as ‘Sister’, I’ll speak bluntly,” Qiao You’an said before she asked, “Huo Zheng said that you wanted to break up. What’s going on?”

Qiao You’an was like Lin Xiaowan’s elder sister. She naturally could not be unreasonable in front of Qiao You’an like she did in front of Huo Zheng. However, she did not know how to answer Qiao You’an’s question. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Huo Zheng doesn’t seem to like me…”

Song Zhiyi had intimately addressed Huo Zheng as Brother Huo. On the contrary, Lin Xiaowan had never addressed him in such a way before. Even after three years of marriage, she had always called him by his full name. She did not have any nickname for her husband at all.

It was the same for Huo Zheng. He had always addressed her as Qingqing.

At this time, Huo Zheng recalled the love letter that Huo Zheng wrote. The content was extremely mushy and tender.

Lin Xiaowan was extremely envious. After all, Huo Zheng had never been so intimate with her.

After a moment, Lin Xiaowan stopped herself from thinking about this matter. Otherwise, she would not be able to stop thinking about it, and it would only make her sad.

“Why would you think that?” Qiao You’an asked gently as she looked at the downcast Lin Xiaowan. Lin Xiao Wan was originally in high spirits, but her mood fell as soon as Huo Zheng was mentioned. Clearly, there was a huge problem between them.

Lin Xiaowan pursed her lips, finding it hard to speak. Perhaps she had been too reliant on Huo Zheng. After her rebirth, she really could not find any fault in Huo Zheng. The only thing that was wrong was that he had another person he liked. He was so close to another person, but he did not tell her at all. Finally, she asked, “Has Huo Zheng been in a relationship before?”

Qiao You’an was taken aback. She did not expect Lin Xiaowan to ask this question. She tried to recall. When she first met Huo Zheng, he was still in high school. At that time, he indeed had a girlfriend. The other party did not come from a prominent family, and he had brought her home before. The other party was tall and beautiful; her smile was very sweet, and she was very eloquent. She remembered the two of them were together for a long time and even planned to get engaged. However, for some reason, the two of them broke up.

Huo Zheng was depressed for a long time because of that matter. In the early days after the breakup, he had drunk heavily. He got drunk heavily and fought outside of school all the time. Later on, he gradually recovered, but his personality changed a lot.

“Yes, but the two of them separated many years ago,” Qiao You’an replied. She did not say much. After all, it was all in the past.

A woman was much more sensitive. Qiao You’an could tell something was wrong so she asked, “Why did you suddenly ask about this? Does it have anything to do with you wanting to break up with Huo Zheng?”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head and asked again, “Huo Zheng at that time… What was he like when he was dating?”

Qiao You’an thought about it for a moment, trying to recall Huo Zheng of the past. However, she could not seem to find the right words. In the end, she said in an uncertain tone, “He was… enthusiastic…”

When Huo Zheng was young, he was straightforward and passionate about his feelings. He was like the scorching sun and acted flamboyantly. He was from the mature, calm, and restrained person he was now.

…

In the end, the mature, calm, and restrained Huo Zheng did not return home.

When Lin Xiaowan woke up in the morning, there was no one next to her. She thought that Huo Zheng had left early so she casually asked about it at the dining table. However, the aunt said that he did not return at all.

Lin Xiaowan’s expression changed immediately upon hearing this. In her previous life, even before she died, he would come back no matter what, carrying the scent of another woman. He would come every day and had never spent the night outside. However, now, they were not even married yet, but he was already acting like this.

Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao could tell Lin Xiaowan was unhappy so they quickly leaned over.

“Aunty, let’s go and play!”

“Aunty, let’s go and watch a movie together?”

Lin Xiaowan did not have much of an appetite. She followed the two children to the home theatre and watched a cartoon with them.

Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao always felt happy when they were watching cartoons. In their opinion, Lin Xiaowan would definitely be happy after watching a cartoon with them.

The two children let Lin Xiaowan to the couch before they diligently went to the minibar to get soda and snacks. They thoughtfully placed them next to her.

“What else do you want to eat, Aunty?”

“Do you want to hug a soft toy? Mommy said that girls love soft toys!”

Lin Xiaowan’s depression was immediately swept away. She patted the couch and gestured for the two children to sit down before she said, “Hugging the both of you is better than hugging a soft toy.”

Upon seeing this, Qiao You’an felt that the Second Master of the Huo family was not as good at coaxing girls compared to her two sons. While the others watched the cartoon, she hurried outside and called her husband.

…

At this moment, Huo Cheng was engaged in a bitter battle with a mountainous pile of documents. If he had a tail, it would be wagging at this moment when he saw his wife calling him. Alas, as soon as he answered the call, he was scolded by his wife.

“What’s wrong with your brother? His wife is about to run away, but he didn’t even bother to come home last night! He didn’t even say anything. What? Is he trying to make his wife leave even faster?”

Huo Cheng followed his wife’s words and scolded Huo Zheng as well. After coaxing his wife and ending the call, he quickly unblocked Huo Zheng’s number and called Huo Zheng. However, his call went unanswered.

Huo Cheng was speechless.

‘Does that b*stard want to die?’

Huo Zheng lay in bed in a daze when he woke. His life was not a melodrama so he did not do anything like sleep with another person. It was just that he felt uneasy thinking that he had slept in a hotel instead of sleeping at home.

He had blacked out the night before.

Something unexpected happened yesterday, and it was tricky and troublesome to resolve. Moreover, he had been feeling a little down so he drank a little more. He had gotten really drunk in the end so he asked his assistant to send him to a hotel nearby. Originally, he planned to lie down for a while before calling Lin Xiaowan. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep as soon as his body hit the bed.
