Chapter 338: A Smell of Sourness

In the end, she didn’t succeed in learning archery. However, after coming out, Murong Qiao’s lips turned a little red.

Fortunately, as long as one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see anything.

“Fortunately, you didn’t break my skin,” she mumbled to herself.

Huo Yichen happened to hear it. “Then I’ll work harder next time?”

His joking tone successfully made Murong Qiao glare at him fiercely.

“…I’m going to the washroom,” she said.

She had drunk a little too much just now. Murong Qiao found a washroom along the way, and Huo Yichen said that he would wait for her at the banquet hall.

A few minutes later, Murong Qiao came out of the washroom and saw a certain haunting person standing not far from the washroom. When he saw her coming out, his gaze immediately landed on her.

Huo Xiuyuan.

Murong Qiao was disgusted. Her face was as cold as ice, and she wanted to walk past him.

However, it was not easy for Huo Xiuyuan to find an opportunity for Murong Qiao to be alone. Hence, with a smile on his face, he blocked her.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Young Miss Murong?” Huo Xiuyuan smiled.

As he spoke, his gaze landed on Murong Qiao’s face. When he got closer, he felt that she looked even more beautiful. Her gorgeous appearance enchanted him, making Huo Xiuyuan less frustrated.

However, Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. “Move aside.” “Young Miss Murong, do you hate me that much?” Huo Xiuyuan deliberately sighed. “I just admire Young Miss Murong and want to be friends with you.” He sounded a little aggrieved. Coupled with his extraordinary looks, ordinary Young Misuses would be moved by his appearance.

Unfortunately, Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered to look at him. “I’m not interested in being friends with you.”

She could tell that this person was pestering her, so she decided not to say anything else and decided to turn around and take a long detour back to the banquet hall.

As long as she did not have to see this person again, her mood would turn from gloomy to sunny.

“What do you like about Huo Yichen?” Huo Xiuyuan suddenly changed the topic.

Murong Qiao didn’t stop walking, but Huo Xiuyuan continued.

“I have everything that Huo Yichen has. I can give you whatever he can, or even more,” he pointed out.

Huo Xiuyuan could tell that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen used to be close. While he felt a sense of danger, he didn’t understand Murong Qiao’s choice. He calculated in his heart. “Maybe you’re just playing around? The Murong family won’t choose a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child who came home halfway—”

Huo Xiuyuan deliberately revealed Huo Yichen’s past situation, wanting Murong Qiao to know that Huo Yichen was not as glamorous as he looked. When Huo Yichen came to the Huo family, Huo Xiuyuan had asked someone to check his information, but he couldn’t get much information. Thus, he didn’t know that Murong Qiao and the other party studied in the same high school. “b.a.s.t.a.r.d child?” Murong Qiao stopped in her tracks.

Huo Xiuyuan thought that the other party was tempted by his offer. Just as he was about to say something, he was stunned by Murong Qiao’s gaze.

That gaze was like a cold knife that pierced through him fiercely, so sharp that his body stiffened and he couldn’t move.

Murong Qiao’s gaze was mocking and disdainful, making Huo Xiuyuan angry. “He’s 10,000 times stronger than you.”

Huo Xiuyuan’s face darkened. He did not expect Murong Qiao to be so straightforward. Moreover, she still chose to stand on the other party’s side after knowing that Huo Yichen was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child.

The last bit of his patience gradually disappeared with Murong Qiao’s departing figure. The flames of anger in his heart grew and swelled, mixed with some impulse.

Since she was so ungrateful, don’t blame him for being forceful.

In any case, Murong Qiao couldn’t stop him from “wooing” her, right?

Meanwhile, Jiang Weiyang, who was at the banquet hall, couldn’t feel happy at all.

She sat on the sofa, her face clearly unhappy. No one even dared to talk to her at this time, afraid that they would say something wrong and bring misfortune to themselves.

However, Feng Xinyao was not among these people.

“Young Miss Jiang?” She smiled considerately. “Why are you so unhappy?” Jiang Weiyang was holding back her anger. “Are you here to laugh at me?” She choked as soon as she opened her mouth. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and landed on Feng Xinyao, as if she was on the verge of exploding. “Of course not.” Feng Xinyao hurriedly shook her head.

She sat down tentatively beside Jiang Weiyang. “1 saw Huo Yichen standing there just now. Aren’t you going to look for him?”

As soon as Feng Xinyao spoke, she poked Jiang Weiyang’s sore spot. Thinking about how she had been rejected repeatedly just now in front of so many people, she was furious.

“No.” Jiang Weiyang was angry.

She had been spoiled since she was young, and her temper, which had not flared up because of the banquet just now, was triggered by Feng Xinyao’s words.

Seeing her like this, Feng Xinyao knew that Jiang Weiyang didn’t gain anything from Huo Yichen. She immediately felt extremely happy.

However, although she felt good, she still had to pretend to comfort her.

“Don’t think badly of him. Huo Yichen treats everyone like that in school.” Feng Xinyao seemed to be used to it. “It shouldn’t be directed at you, Young Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Weiyang was a little appeased by her words. Then, she noticed Feng Xinyao saying that she knew Huo Yichen in school, and her interest was piqued.

Feng Xinyao wanted to please her, and Jiang Weiyang was also interested in Huo Yichen. The two of them got along quite well.

“I’m going to look for Huo Yichen. Stall Murong Qiao.” Jiang Weiyang regained her mood. “1 feel uncomfortable just looking at her.”

She willfully a.s.signed another mission to Feng Xinyao.

Jiang Weiyang didn’t care about Feng Xinyao’s reaction. After saying that, she stood up and went to look for him.

She could tell that Feng Xinyao also had feelings for Huo Yichen.

Feng Xinyao’s smile froze. “Alright.”

She nodded reluctantly. She didn’t expect that her intention to close the distance between her and Jiang Weiyang, now led to the consequence of having to help her chase after Huo Yichen.

While feeling unbalanced, Feng Xinyao thought of Huo Yichen’s cold appearance and subconsciously smiled gloatingly.

In any case, Jiang Weiyang wouldn’t be able to gain anything from Huo Yichen, so it was useless even if she helped.

As for Feng Xinyao’s target, Murong Qiao had just returned after taking a long detour.

Murong Qiao walked in from the side door. The bright lights made people feel much more at ease.

When they returned to the banquet hall, many people were still laughing and playing. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Murong Qiao had just randomly picked a direction and was about to look for Huo Yichen when she turned around and almost b.u.mped into someone.

“Young Miss Murong.” Feng Xinyao waved her hand.

She had a gentle smile on her face and her tone was a little intimate. In the eyes of others, they would probably think that the two of them were good friends.

Murong Qiao didn’t expect Feng Xinyao to appear here.

Feng Xinyao walked up to her. “Why didn’t I see Young Master Huo accompanying you?”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she deliberately mentioned Huo Yichen, making it difficult for others not to hear her sarcasm.

“Just say whatever you want to say,” Murong Qiao interrupted her.

She was not in the mood to play with Feng Xinyao.

Feng Xinyao’s eyes flashed. “1 just pity you.”

Usually, Feng Xinyao would hear the surrounding students sigh and say that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were a pair of immortal lovers.

She scoffed at this and felt that those were words that everyone had exaggerated.

“…” Murong Qiao didn’t answer.

She met Feng Xinyao’s “sincere” gaze and didn’t understand what she wanted to do.

“But 1 don’t think Huo Yichen has time to accompany you now,” Feng Xinyao continued.

She shook the wine gla.s.s in her hand. “Perhaps at this moment, he’s having a sweet time with Jiang Weiyang.”

There was no one else around, so Feng Xinyao simply changed her form of address.

It was as if she couldn’t bear to see others doing well even if she couldn’t get it.

It annoyed Murong Qiao.

“So—” Murong Qiao finally spoke.. “You ran to me to demonstrate the meaning of the phrase: the grapes are sour if you can’t eat them?”
