Chapter 130: Chapter 0130: Power to Protect the Husband (2)
Lin Yize quickly showed an apologetic expression and then sincerely apologized.
“I'm sorry for what I said, please don't take it to heart.”
But Mu Lan had already seen through Lin Yize's true nature, and she was very cold towards him.
“Mr. Lin, do as you please, husband, let's go over there.”
After speaking, Mu Lan took Huo Tingxiao's hand and brushed past Lin Yize, blatantly ignoring his recent apology.
Lin Yize's hand holding the champagne glass unconsciously tightened, as he cursed himself for his impatience, yet he was even more astonished at how protective Mu Lan was of Huo Tingxiao.
This won't do, if things continue like this, there will be endless troubles. He must think of a way to break these two apart as soon as possible.
With that thought, he dialed a string of numbers.
“Hello? Boss, it's me.”
—–
Huo Tingxiao felt the warmth of Mu Lan's palm in his hand, and recalling how she had just defended him, he couldn't help but curve his lips into a very pleased smile.
When Mu Lan turned her head, she saw him looking at her with a smile as bright as flowers.
It was the first time she had seen him smile so joyfully, appearing completely different from the intelligent and wise man he was on any other day.
“What are you smiling about?”
“You just defended me in front of Lin Yize.”
His deep and pleasing voice coming from beside her ear made Mu Lan's face turn red with embarrassment.
“I just thought what he said was uncouth, so in the moment… Don't get the wrong idea, it has nothing to do with you, I…”
Seeing her so flustered she couldn't get her words straight, Huo Tingxiao simply savored the moment, the smile on his face growing gentler.
“No rush, take your time.”
“You… ugh, you're doing this on purpose to tease me, aren't you?”
“Mu Lan, I'm very happy that you're on my side now.”
If only there wasn't serious business to attend to.
“How can you say I'm on your side? Don't flatter yourself. And you… stop looking at me like that.”
Mu Lan felt really embarrassed under his gaze.
“What kind of look is that?”
Huo Tingxiao knowingly asked, his tone laced with a touch of teasing.
“Like you want to eat me up, you…”
Mu Lan honestly responded, almost making Huo Tingxiao burst into laughter. He bent down, whispering slowly into her ear.
“You're not wrong.”
It was as if an atomic bomb had exploded in her head, “boom”, Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao incredulously. Was this man crazy? Teasing her like this in such a setting?
“You… I…”
That was it, her mind was tied up in knots, her tongue as well, leaving her clueless about what to say.
Seeing her like this, Huo Tingxiao laughed even more heartily.
“Don't worry, even if I were to eat, it would be after.”
Mu Lan glared at him irritably. The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!
It must be because he spent too much time with Yunzhan, picking up this slick talk.
At that moment, the innocent Yunzhan couldn't help but sneeze and instinctively looked around. Hmm? Who was talking behind his back?
Not far away, Sheng Xueqian ceaselessly looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, wondering, “Where has my sister gone? Why isn't she back yet? The banquet is about to begin, and soon they'll close the doors.”
Finally, Sheng Xueqian arrived, and Sheng Xueqin sighed in relief.
“Sis, where did you go?”
Sheng Xueqin wore an enigmatic smile, unable to hide the clear sign of her good mood.
“It's nothing.”
Sheng Xueqian looked at Sheng Xueqin with suspicion, clearly not buying her explanation, and couldn't help but persistently inquire:
“Sis, are you hiding something from me? I'm your sister, why can't you even tell me?”
“You'll find out after the banquet, there's a good show waiting.”
After the banquet?
Sheng Xueqian's eyes roved thoughtfully.
“Sis, did you figure out a way to be with Tingxiao?'
To Sheng Xueqin's surprise, her seemingly useless younger sister was actually quite astute. Her gaze hardened, and her expression underwent a subtle shift.
“Stop guessing nonsense.”
But Sheng Xueqian was indeed relentless.
“Sis, did you figure out a way? Did you? That's great, I'll finally get to see you taking your revenge. You have no idea how disgusted I was to see Mu Lan acting like the lady of the house earlier today. She even deliberately made you look foolish in front of everyone. If it hadn't been for Grandpa Huo's presence, I really would have wanted to slap her.”
Seeing her younger cousin so righteously indignant brought quite a bit of comfort to Sheng Xueqin's heart.
“You, you need to change that temper. Wearing your emotions on your face, even before you do anything, others will start suspecting you. But you're right in your guess, this spectacle is indeed related to that woman.”
“Can I help with anything, Sis? Just say the word, and I'd walk through fire and water for you.”
Looking at Sheng Xueqian's loyal demeanor, Sheng Xueqin felt reassured; it seemed her affection for her wasn't in vain.
So she leaned in close and whispered a few words into her ear, causing Sheng Xueqian's face to reveal an utterly shocked expression.
“Sis, are you… sure you want to do this? My god, she won't stand a chance to turn the tide after this!”
“That's exactly what I want, for her never to turn it around!”
Glaring hatefully at Mu Lan, Sheng Xueqin's eyes brimmed with resentment, no longer interested in maintaining the façade of a virtuous and demure woman.
Having been humiliated to such an extent at the Huo family's event today, if she didn't repay it a hundredfold, she wouldn't be called Sheng Xueqin!
“Don't worry, Sis. Once the moment arrives, I'll pretend to make peace with her, then assist you with all my might.”
Sheng Xueqin immediately stopped her upon hearing this.
“No, if you approach her now, it would be too conspicuous. I've already arranged for someone; don't overdo it.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xueqian nodded in understanding.
“Sis, you're so clever.”
Soon, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed suddenly, leaving only a spotlight on the stage.
The host effortlessly set the tone for the evening with a relaxed vibe, and after delivering some opening remarks, invited the man of the hour, Elder Huo, to speak.
After Elder Huo took the stage, he first expressed his gratitude to the guests and delivered a few customary pleasantries, followed by the speech was a dance offered to the elder by Huo Tingxiao and Mu Lan.
A spotlight shone on the two as Huo Tingxiao took Mu Lan's hand, observing her slight nervousness and offering gentle comfort.
“Don't be afraid, just follow my steps once we start.”
Mu Lan gazed into those deep, dark eyes, took a deep breath to calm herself, then nodded.
The small orchestra by the side of the stage started playing, and as the melodious music filled the banquet hall, the two glided onto the dance floor with elegant grace. Mu Lan felt as though her body was moving with inbuilt programming, dancing effortlessly. Her initial nervousness vanished, and she even started to enjoy the music.
Watching their intimate dance, a cold smile played around Sheng Xueqin's lips—Mu Lan, your good days are nearly over!
