Chapter 585 They Hug

"Being liked is something worth cherishing, but Pei Chun used the wrong approach. She was too extreme and hurt others because of this love. This is not love, it is trouble."

Huo Sijiao looked into his deep brown amber pupils and nodded mechanically.

It seems like I understand.

She came to her senses and moved her butt, putting some distance between herself and him.

The faint scent of sandalwood lingered at the tip of her nose, so calmly and slowly that it seemed to permeate her entire body.

Pei Chun's unwilling crying could be faintly heard outside the car.

Xie Xubai said calmly: "Ningyuan, drive!"

"Okay, Mr. Xie."

Ning Yuan stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Pei Chun's figure was left far behind.

"ah!"

Pei Chun screamed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. "Xie Xubai, I love you so much. I'd do anything for you. Why do you treat me like this? Who the hell is Huo Sijiao? Is she even worthy of your love?"

She walked into the Xie Mansion crying, and the servants did not dare to stop Miss Pei, who had a very bad temper.

The old housekeeper smiled and asked, "Miss Pei, is there something that brings you here so late? Wipe your tears. You won't look good if you cry."

"Housekeeper, I want to find Grandma Xie!"

Pei Chun walked inside sobbing, her tears unable to stop.

"I want to thank grandma for making the decision for me, woo woo..."

"Ms. Pei, don't cry. It's just too late. Why don't you go home first and come back tomorrow?"

"I'm not going back. I just want to stay in the Xie family. I want to marry into the Xie family in this life. This is my second home. Grandma Xie said that if Xu Bai can't find a girlfriend before the New Year, I will marry him."

Pei Chun was crying with tears in her eyes and hiccups.

It looks really pitiful.

The housekeeper couldn't coax the old lady into submission, nor could he kick the old lady's granddaughter out.

Pei Chun walked to the entrance while crying and wiping her tears. She could still hear the old lady's hearty laughter inside.

She cried even louder.

“Thank you, grandma!”

She ran in quickly and threw herself into Mrs. Xie's arms, crying loudly, scaring the old lady.

The old lady looked at the housekeeper and the housekeeper silently said three words, "Miss Huo".

Madam Wanling sat aside, drinking scented tea to help digestion, with a smile on her face and not saying much.

Pei Chun cried so hard that her makeup was smudged and her voice was hoarse: "Grandma Xie, is Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao together? I heard that today was the first time he brought his girlfriend to your house, right?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's mind raced as she said, "Who said that? I wonder what damned person would spread such gossip! Miss Huo came to clarify what happened last night. She said you insulted her sister-in-law, so she used Xu Bai as a shield to piss you off."

Pei Chun's crying stopped abruptly: "Are they fake?"

"Yeah, fake."

The old lady handed her some tissues.

Pei Chun wiped away her tears and sniffed, "It's good that it's fake. But Xu Bai was hugging her at the door just now, so inappropriate. The people of Haicheng must be cunning and scheming."

"Hug?"

The old lady grasped the key words.

And you hugged her?

"Yes! It's really hateful and makes me angry." Pei Chun held the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, I must marry Xu Bai! Don't forget your promise. If he doesn't find a girlfriend before the New Year, you will make the decision for us."

"OK!"

Madam Xie gritted her teeth and said, "I'll make the decision for you. If he doesn't have a girlfriend before the New Year, I'll go to the Pei family and propose marriage."

Some people's personalities need to be pushed, otherwise they will really think that they have become a Buddha in the temple and don't care about anything.

The reason for choosing this date is because Xie Xubai’s birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

He must decide on his marriage when he is thirty!

"Grandma, you are so nice!" Pei Chun burst into laughter.

The Xie family had strict rules and couldn't afford to lose face. Since Old Madam Xie had said she wanted to propose marriage, even if Xie Xubai didn't agree, it was a done deal.

There are too many families intermarrying in the upper class of the imperial capital. Many couples get married for profit, and feelings are nothing.

"Grandma, you can't let Huo Sijiao into the house anymore. She and I..."

"Ouch."

Madam Xie held her head with one hand and cried out in pain, "I have a headache, Wanling, please help me go upstairs to rest. This headache is unbearable!"

"OK."

Mrs. Wanling quickly put down her teacup and helped the old lady upstairs.

"Eh? Grandma!" Pei Chun was stunned. "Why do you have a headache out of nowhere?"

Old Madam Xie's feet were full of air, and she lowered her voice and said, "Hurry up! Her crying is really unbearable..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the corner of the stairs.

Madam Wanling asked with a smile, "Mom, are you really going to the Pei family to propose marriage?"

"Of course."

"Pei Chun is not suitable. Xu Bai has a big idea."

Madam Xie stood up and said, "Of course I know Pei Chun is not suitable. This child has a bad temper and is willful."

"Then why are you still so nice to her?"

"It's all for her grandmother's sake. We don't want to hurt her reputation. She was quite likable when she was little, but I didn't expect her to become more and more arrogant and domineering in recent years. She has no sense of propriety! I heard that she bullies others outside by relying on the power of the Pei family."

There was a hint of hostility between Pei Chun's eyebrows, which made him look unpleasant.

The old lady's feelings towards Pei Chun also faded.

Madam Wanling asked, "Do you want to force Xu Bai?"

"Humph! If I don't force him, when will I see him get married? He treats that Miss Huo differently. Have you ever seen him bring a girl home before? How many times did he glance at the little girl from the Huo family during dinner?"

Madam Xie snorted and laughed.

At her age, she has seen a lot of the world.

Madam Wanling's expression was gentle: "He has a good impression of Miss Huo, but Miss Huo seems to only treat him as an ordinary friend, without any interest in him at all."

"That depends on your son's ability to woo girls."

Madam Xie said irresponsibly: "If you can't catch him before the New Year, just marry Pei Chun."

Madam Wanling was not angry either.

She knew that her mother-in-law seemed unreasonable, but she was as clear-headed as a mirror.

"Oh, right! Pei Chun just said they were hugging outside the door. Go find the security guard and send me the surveillance video. I want to take a good look tonight..."

Mrs. Xie was happy at one moment and angry at another.

Madam Wanling responded with a yes.

…

The night is dark.

A luxury car is driving in the bustling center of the imperial capital.

They drove to the famous wealthy area of the capital and finally stopped at the door of the Huo family's garden villa.

The car was quiet.

Huo Sijiao pursed her dry lips and said, "Thank you for sending me back."

"You're welcome, Mr. Huo is my best partner." Xie Xubai got out of the car first, walked around to Huo Sijiao's side and opened her door. He naturally extended his hand.

Huo Sijiao looked at the pair of clean, white hands in front of her and said, "I can walk by myself."

She couldn't do anything that could be misunderstood again.

Xie Xubai stood with his hands hanging down, watching her slowly get out of the car.

Huo Sijiao carefully moved her sprained right foot and limped to the ground: "I'll go in first, bye."

"Um."

Xie Xubai responded, watched her slowly walk into the villa, and called out, "Miss Huo."

Huo Sijiao turned her head and looked at him puzzledly: "Huh? Is there anything else?"
