Chapter 1040: Sister Ying is Back from a Business Trip
by xennovelHuo Shen and Huo Chuan went back to the Wilderness.
Because staying in Jiangzhou didn’t feel safe.
Xu Shaochen really wanted to tell them, once back in the Wilderness, they’ll find it even less safe.
But he didn’t say it, knowing they wouldn’t believe him.
“Just let him go, are you holding a grudge?”
Xu Shaochen looked at Zhao Qing, referring to Huo Chuan.
Zhao Qing said, “I don’t dare.”
“You don’t dare, so you do?” Xu Shaochen patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the father and son know life is full of ups and downs and downs and downs…”
Zhao Qing looked up at Xu Shaochen already knowing he wouldn’t let them off.
“Alright, you should go back, I have something to do.”
Xu Shaochen checked the time, Huo Ying was almost home.
After sending Zhao Qing away, Xu Shaochen arrived at Huo Ying’s home.
“Knock knock knock…”
He knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened.
It was opened by Huo Xiao.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at school?”
Seeing her, Xu Shaochen was startled, he planned to get cozy with Huo Ying.
“Isn’t it normal for college students to skip classes?”
Huo Xiao asked righteously, leaving him with a slender silhouette.
Xu Shaochen looked at her, noting the lack of curves in the front but plenty in the back, the tight jeans highlighting a nice curve.
Xu Shaochen closed the door and walked in.
“Xiao Xu’s here. Thanks for taking care of Xiaoxiao these days. She didn’t cause you any trouble, did she?”
Huo Shen said with a smile, just back from a business trip, still in her uniform, a mature city beauty.
“Xiaoxiao was quite obedient, no trouble at all. Besides, Sister Ying, no need to be so polite. She even calls me dad.”
Xu Shaochen said, walking over to hug Huo Ying. So soft.
“Stop it, Xiaoxiao is watching.”
Huo Ying’s face reddened as she tried to break free from Xu Shaochen’s arms but to no avail.
“Alright, I’ll give you space, you two can go ahead. Just remember to call me when you’re done.”
Huo Xiao said and then went back into her room with her phone, shutting the door.
“This girl, what nonsense is she talking about?”
Huo Ying’s face turned even redder, obviously embarrassed by her daughter’s words.
“Look how sensible our daughter is, shouldn’t we make the most of her goodwill?”
“Ah! You brat, let me go…”
Xu Shaochen interrupted, lifting Huo Ying with a shriek as he carried her into the bedroom.
Clothes shuffled inside the bedroom followed by indescribable sounds, leaving a scene of thousands of words omitted.
Neither noticed Huo Xiao sneakily opening the door, tiptoeing to the hallway to eavesdrop.
Hearing them, her face turned apple red, running back to her room like a thief, collapsing on her bed and gasping.
“So shameless. That jerk actually made mom say such shameless things.”
“And mom really, she actually said it…”
An hour later, she heard her mom and Xu Shaochen talking in the living room. She acted nonchalantly as she left her room.
“Mom, I’m not having dinner at home. I’ve arranged to hang out with Xiaoya and will eat out later.”
Huo Xiao carefully chose her words, finding it hard to face her mom and Xu Shaochen normally.
“Why do you seem guilty, were you eavesdropping just now?”
Xu Shaochen asked suspiciously, just trying to joke.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiao strongly reacted as if stepping on a tail: “Of course not, I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense. How could I do such a disgusting thing!”
Xu Shaochen and Huo Ying exchanged glances, was the reaction too extreme? It seemed like a case of hiding a horse without a silver coin.
“I’m… I’m going out now…”
Huo Xiao realized she overreacted and hurriedly left home.
“She… really eavesdropped?”
Xu Shaochen said dumbfoundedly. Even a fool could see something was wrong with Xiaoxiao’s sluggish reaction.
“It’s all your fault. You made me say such humiliating things. She heard everything. How can I face her in the future?”
Huo Ying’s face was red, clenching her fists as she hit Xu Shaochen, almost crying out.
After all, she said some intolerable things earlier which her daughter heard. She felt humiliated.
“Alright, it’s fine. That girl’s quite thick-skinned, she’ll forget by then. I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?”
Xu Shaochen gently patted her back, comforting her.
“Of course you’re not scared. You wish what I said on the bed came true.”
Huo Ying glared at him, pinching his arm hard.
She had realized that if this jerk didn’t have intentions, he wouldn’t make her say those things.
“Ow—”
Xu Shaochen gasped in pain, seeing Huo Ying gearing up. “Alright, you dare to pinch me. Watch how your husband deals with you!”
“Ah, don’t tickle me, it’s so ticklish. Hahaha…”
Huo Ying couldn’t stop laughing as Xu Shaochen tickled her, quickly forgetting the previous matter.
…………….
Meanwhile, Huo Xiao arrived at Bai Ya’s home.
“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking?”
Bai Ya wondered why her close friend, who suddenly got such a wealthy and handsome godfather, was unhappy.
“Xiaoya, I… I overheard my mom and my stepdad doing it.”
Huo Xiao said, blushing.
“What?”
Bai Ya was dumbfounded then realized: “Eavesdropping isn’t the same as peeping. Why such a face?”
“No, it’s not that…” Huo Xiao said anxiously, whispering a few words into Bai Ya’s ear, her face turning red.
“Really?”
Bai Ya was genuinely shocked, more envious, wondering why Xu Shaochen found no interest in her.
“Yes, how can I face them? Stepfather… wants…”
Huo Xiao didn’t dare finish.
“Just go with the flow. No need to feel embarrassed. Depends if you like Brother Xu. I think he’s nice.”
“Think about it, you’re not your mom’s real daughter. There’s no blood relation with Brother Xu. What’s wrong with free love?”
Bai Ya advised with envy in her heart.
“I think it’s you who’s craving my stepdad.”
Huo Xiao said to Bai Ya.
Bai Ya blushed instantly, pushing Huo Xiao onto the bed: “What nonsense. I’m just giving you advice.”
“Heehee, I see it. You’re coveting my stepdad. You’re shameless.”
“You wicked Huo Xiao, keep your voice down, my parents are in the living room.”
The two girls giggled and played around, laughing in the room.
