Chapter 111 - In the Dark

“Don’t even bother. He hasn’t talked to me since then. I’m puzzled. How did the Feng family raise such a weirdo?” Qin Yuan asked Luo Tao.

Luo Tao replied with three simple words: “I don’t know.”

“Sigh, I’m glad that she has taken a fancy to you. Otherwise, she would probably still be meddling in my life.”

Hearing Qin Yuan’s words, Luo Tao’s expression turned colder. He felt unlucky to have Feng Yu take a fancy to him. She even shamelessly ran to his grandfather and said that she wanted to marry him.

Every time Luo Tao thought of these memories, he especially wanted to throw Feng Yu out of the capital.

“Huo Zhen, you really are a girl magnet. Not just Feng Yu, but countless girls in the capital had their hearts broken when they heard about your accident. Sister-in-law, you’re going to have to deal with being jealous from now on!”

“Jealous?” Luo Tao hesitated. He wanted to see Mo Yan jealous.

Qin Yuan glanced at Luo Tao’s cheeky expression and thought to himself, ‘They say that women in love are stupid. It seems that men are the same.’

Qin Yuan immediately changed the topic and asked about business.

“Are you going to the Lin family’s banquet tonight?”

“My old man told me to go.” Luo Tao looked a little impatient. Although many collaborations were facilitated by this kind of events, the Huo family was considered an extremely prominent family. Attending banquets like these were not important to them anymore. It was obvious that his grandfather had other reasons for insisting that he attend the banquet.

Qin Yuan poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. “What are you going to do? Keep sister-in-law in the dark?”

These words made Luo Tao’s eyebrows furrow even more. He had never thought of it that way. He just felt that now was not the time. He was afraid that she would be in danger.

“I will take her to see grandfather at the right time.”

“The right time?” Qin Yuan smiled. Luo Tao felt a little uncomfortable.

“There are people in the Huo family who want me dead. I am also afraid that my grandfather will not accept Mo Yan.”

Qin Yuan nodded and seemed to agree. “Oh, that’s true. But sister-in-law is really pitiful.”

“Why do you say that?” Luo Tao did not understand what Qin Yuan meant.

“Huo Zhen, when will the right time come? Things are always happening. Are you always going to have to hide her? Tsk, poor sister-in-law. It will be a long time before she can stand next to you in the open.”

Although Qin Yuan was very playful, sometimes his words were quite pertinent.

“Most importantly, are you sure that the old man will not find out about her?”

It was like a heavy stick hitting Luo Tao’s head, instantly waking him up to reality.

“Just now, Mo Yan said that she won’t go to the banquet tonight, right?” Luo Tao asked.

Qin Yuan recalled for a moment and nodded. “I think so. It’s probably because they don’t have enough invitation letters! Why? Could it be that you...”

Luo Tao suddenly got up.

...

It was already noon when Xu Tian finished picking out her dress. The three of them were prepared to return to the hotel first because the girls from the group of four who had arrived earlier called Mo Yan and said that they had a new document to hand over to them.

The three of them rushed back to the hotel. After looking at the document carefully, Mo Yan thought that the information in the document did not seem to be that important. Why did they have to rush back?

“Let me take a look.” While Mo Yan was puzzled, Xu Tian opened her mouth and said.

Mo Yan handed the document to her. Xu Tian finished reading it after a few glances and also frowned.

“Is this very important?” Mo Yan asked. Xu Tian shook her head.

Li Guoguo followed and looked at it. “Maybe they don’t know much about the materials we need! They thought this was very important, so they asked us to rush back to get it.”

Unable to think of anything, Mo Yan and Xu Tian tacitly agreed with Li Guoguo’s words.

The few of them returned to their room. Mo Yan was considering whether she should go with Xu Tian to get styled in the afternoon. If not for that phone call, they had planned to have lunch around the area and walk around. When Xu Tian left, they would go straight back to the hotel. But now, their plans had been disrupted.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sister Xu! Mo Yan! Look at what this is!”

Li Guoguo’s voice was full of shock.

Mo Yan and Xu Tian walked over to take a look...
