Chapter 756: Hard on the outside, soft on the inside
Xun Yuluo noticed that Huo Yunting's gaze fell on Xiao Muzhen, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
It seems that Huo Yunting still has feelings for Xiao Muzhen...
Forcefully suppressing the disappointment in her heart, Xun Yuluo smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm actually planning to go horseback riding this Saturday. Do you want to join us?"
Huo Yunting frowned. Before he could say anything, he noticed that Xiao Muzhen paused and his eyes fell on him, as if he was curious about how he would answer.
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled.
"OK."
Xiao Muzhen, who was going upstairs, couldn't help biting her lower lip when she heard Huo Yunting agree.
Even though he told himself not to care and that they were just ordinary friends now, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
She didn't want to care about Huo Yunting, but it seemed to have become a habit. As long as it was related to him, she couldn't help but care.
After returning to the room, Xiao Muzhen didn't go downstairs until dinner time.
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen looked a little unhappy, Xun Zi turned a blind eye and directly arranged Huo Yunting and Xun Yulo to sit together.
"Yun Ting, Yu Luo, you two are of similar age, so you should have a lot to talk about. Yu Luo, help Yun Ting with more food."
Seeing that Xun Zi intended to match him and Xun Yu Luo, Huo Yunting did not expose her.
“Okay, thank you, Mrs. Xiao.”
Xiao Zhuan, who was standing by, saw that Xiao Muzhen had an ugly expression on his face, so he quickly lowered his head and acted as if he was a invisible person.
After all, Xun Zi is playing with fire now, and he doesn't want to get involved in such affairs between women.
Xiao Muzhen ate in unusual silence throughout the meal, but Xun Zi had been trying to bring Huo Yunting and Xun Yuro together, and even urged them to add each other on WeChat.
Seeing Huo Yunting really took out his cell phone to add Xun Yuluo, Xiao Muzhen's hand holding the chopsticks turned pale.
She took a deep breath, stood up and said slowly, "I'm done eating, Mr. Huo, take your time."
After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.
Xun Zi didn't care and said with a smile: "Yun Ting, keep eating. Zhen Zhen has been trying to lose weight recently, so don't worry about her."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
After returning to the room, Xiao Muzhen lay on the bed, feeling depressed.
She felt that her current state was not right. Since she had decided to be just an ordinary friend with Huo Yunting, it had nothing to do with her which woman he was with. She should not and had no right to be jealous.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and then Xiao Zhuan's voice sounded at the door.
"Zhenzhen, open the door. I see you didn't eat anything at night, so I came to bring you something to eat."
Xiao Muzhen got up and opened the door. She saw Xiao Zhuan holding a tray with a bowl of noodles in it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Huo Yunting is gone?"
"Leave."
"oh."
Seeing what she wanted to ask, Xiao Zhuan pretended not to know.
"Eat some noodles, or you won't be able to sleep at night."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen pick up the noodles, Xiao Zhuan said calmly: "I'll go downstairs first. Just put the bowl in the kitchen after you finish eating."
"Um."
Shortly after turning away, he suddenly came back.
"Zhenzhen, if you still like Huo Yunting, don't push him away again. When he left tonight, Mom asked him to see Xun Yuluo off, and he didn't refuse."
"Huo Yunting is likely to take over the Su family in the future. Besides Xun Yuluo, there are many women in the capital who want to get close to him. There will be all kinds of outstanding and beautiful women around him. Your biggest reliance at the moment is that he likes you."
"If you don't cherish him now, if one day he really falls in love with someone else, are you sure you can accept this result?"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes and said, "Third brother, I understand. Thank you."
After Xiao Zhuan left, Xiao Muzhen looked down at the noodles in the bowl and suddenly lost his appetite.
Putting the noodles aside, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but wonder why Huo Yunting agreed to send Xun Yuluo home.
Is he attracted to her?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, feeling as uncomfortable as if she had been scratched by a cat.
On the other side, in the car.
Ever since getting in the car, Huo Yunting has been reading documents, and his whole body exudes a cold aura that keeps people at a distance.
Xun Yuluo always felt that after leaving the Xiao family, his attitude towards her became much colder.
After hesitating for a long time, just as the car was about to arrive at her house, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Huo... After spending time with you today, I have a good impression of you... I wonder if you are interested in taking it further?"
Hearing this, Huo Yunting's gaze shifted from the document to her face, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Ms. Xun, I have no interest in you, and you don't have to waste your time on me anymore."
His blunt refusal made Xun Yuluo extremely embarrassed, and the expression on his face froze.
After several seconds, she slowly spoke: "Mr. Huo, you still like Xiao Muzhen, right?"
"This is my personal matter. It seems there is no need to explain it to Miss Xun."
"I see."
Xun Yuluo lowered her eyes and said nothing, but her slightly trembling body revealed that she was not at peace at the moment.
After the black Maybach stopped at the door, Xun Yuluo whispered thank you, then pushed the door open and left without looking back.
After returning home, she calmed down and called Xun Zi.
"Aunt, I'm afraid I can't help you test Huo Yunting anymore. He said he's not interested in me."
Xun Zi frowned upon hearing this and quickly said, "Yu Luo...he's not interested in you...why can't you continue to help me? Originally...my goal was to make Zhen Zhen jealous when she saw you interacting with Huo Yunting."
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Xun Yuluo's eyes, and it was naturally impossible for her to tell her that she was rejected by Huo Yunting.
"I can't help you anyway. There's a lot going on at school lately. You should find someone else."
After saying that, Xun Yuluo hung up the phone.
Thinking of what Huo Yunting had said in the car just now, she still felt extremely depressed.
But she is the eldest daughter of the Xun family and she also has her own pride.
Since Huo Yunting had clearly expressed that he had no interest in her, she would not pester him anymore.
Not long after Huo Yunting returned home, Xiao Muzhen came to see him.
She looked calm and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm here to see Yiyi."
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes, his voice a little low, "Since you wanted to come here, why didn't you come with me just now?"
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said harmlessly, "Can't you see that my mother is trying to match you up with Xun Yuluo? What if I suggest coming with you and Xun Yuluo misunderstands?"
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You're right. Our current relationship is not suitable for riding in the same car. I'll have to explain this to Miss Xun later."
Seeing him continue speaking along the lines of what he was saying, Xiao Muzhen took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"Well, I'm not interested in your relationship with Xun Yuluo. Can I go see Yiyi now?"
