Chapter 431 - 431 Awkward
431 Awkward
The hall on the first floor of the Huo residence was decorated in an extremely luxurious style, but this luxurious style was neither gaudy nor vulgar.
The Huo family was a hundred-year-old mafia family that ran rampant in Country Z and took root in B City. Not to mention their long and deep foundation, it was rare for them to have a gloomy and low-key feeling.
After Old Master Huo Jue cleared his throat in the hall, it actually became a bit silent in an instant!
Huo Jue looked at his son, who had always been steady, gently hugging the girl in his arms. The smile on his handsome face was flattering and relaxed, but at this moment, his expression was completely frozen, as if the scene before Huo Jue was frozen!
Su Qing felt the big hand on her waist stiffen and took the opportunity to push Huo Qi away. She didn’t forget to scold him softly, “I already told you that someone is here, but you’re still fooling around! Let go of me quickly, or I’ll strangle you!”
Miss Su, who struggled to sit up in Huo Qi’s arms, immediately pretended to be calm and sat up straight. Even under such circumstances, she didn’t forget to secretly pinch the flesh on Huo Qi’s waist fiercely.
Hearing the man’s muffled cry of pain, she retracted her hand slightly in anger and rubbed her fingers longingly. She thought distractedly that Huo Qi’s abs felt quite good to the touch.
This old man should also have the habit of working out usually. Otherwise, it would really be unreasonable for him to be so busy every day, but his abs and chest muscles to be so well-proportioned and perfect!
Huo Qi still didn’t know that many inappropriate things had already flashed through his darling’s little head. He just endured the sweet pain on his waist.
And at this moment, it was time to show how outstanding and considerate a butler was. He would definitely not let his master fall into that endless state awkwardness.
Huo Ming carried the snacks and hot drinks he had prepared in his hand and walked forward respectfully. He said very naturally, “Young Master, Miss Su! These are the refreshments I prepared for you. Please enjoy.”
His extremely natural move made the awkwardness on the scene disappear, as if nothing had happened!
Huo Qi stopped the change in his expression in time. After sitting up straight, he looked up at his father, who was standing on the side of the sofa, and said a bit unnaturally, “Dad, why don’t you make any sound when you’re walking?”
Huo Jue: “…”
This was the second time Huo Jue was speechless in the few minutes he saw his son today.
He glanced at Huo Qi and had already started to slander him in his mind. Was it your father who didn’t make a sound when he walked? You were the one who was so focused that you couldn’t see or hear anything. Now, you’re blaming someone else. You’re really skilled at framing others!
After slandering his son in his mind, Huo Jue slowly walked forward and sat opposite Su Qing and Huo Qi.
He ignored Huo Qi and looked at Su Qing instead, a calm and gentle smile on his face. “Qingqing, the last time you came to the house was when you were injured. How are you now? Are your injuries better?”
Hearing that, Su Qing smiled politely at Huo Jue and replied softly, “Thank you for your concern. I’m already much better.”
Huo Jue nodded with a smile and replied lovingly, “That’s good. I already know that you’re with Huo Qi. The two of you are good kids, and you have to stay together!”
He looked at the beautiful and cute Su Qing in front of him and liked this girl even more. He knew very well that his son had always been picky. Since Huo Qi was the one who set his mind on this girl, he couldn’t be wrong no matter what.
The Huo family was at its peak right now. The Su family was also a century-old aristocratic family in B City. The backgrounds of the two families were also very compatible!
And the most important thing in this marriage was naturally that Huo Qi and Su Qing liked each other. They were willing to protect each other, which was more important than any external conditions!
The Huo family didn’t need to use the marriage to maintain and support their status and strength.
Huo Jue had always wanted Huo Qi to choose his marriage partner based on who he really liked!
