Chapter 77 Straight Shot
The Huo family’s old house is nestled in the mountains and beside the water.
Coming down the winding mountain road, the car was very quiet.
“Do you know my uncle?”
“Chairman Cui? No.”
“Then how could it be such a coincidence that he called me at the banquet.”
The matter that could send Cui Xianxing away must be very tricky and sudden. Huo Qiao had already found something wrong when he couldn’t contact Cui Xianxing in the past few days.
After Huo Sheng and the second wife of the Huo family talked about the shares.
Huo Qiao immediately guessed that Cui Xianxing was sent away this time with premeditation.
At that time, Huo Qiao had already thought of a way to deal with it.
But he didn’t expect Pei Yuzhi to intervene.
However, when he thought of Huo Qiting asking his name and Pei Yuzhi righteously replied Cheng Yun, Huo Qiao couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips.
"---Who did you think of, to make our Young Master Huo smile?"
Huo Qiao glanced at him slightly
, "Huo Qiting is vindictive. If you give a fake name, he will find out soon. Aren't you worried that he will target you?"
The car was not bright, but Pei Yuzhi's eyes were like two black gems shining.
He smiled lazily and said in a low voice:
"Why not? So I have to rely on Young Master Huo to protect me."
Huo Qiao's fingers holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened.
[--Tsk, is Pei Yuzhi, this bastard, trying to tease me? ]
Pei Yuzhi's heart shuddered at the doubtful and weird voice.
Pei was so angry that he felt a little embarrassed for the first time.
Was he so obvious?
No, it wasn't obvious from his expression. It must be that Huo Qiao was also interested in him.
That's why he could accurately receive Pei Yuzhi's affection.
"Pei Yuzhi, please speak properly."
"---Modu is your territory, I really need your protection."
"So, you just said a lot in front of so many people, but you didn't think about the way out?"
Pei Yuzhi was certainly not a reckless person.
He nodded: "No, I was busy saving the beauty."
Huo Qiao's face darkened:
"If you treat me like those pretty boys again, I will cut off your tongue."
Pei Yuzhi smiled awkwardly:
"I was just complimenting you on your handsome looks."
Huo Qiao was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Turning the steering wheel to the left, the car finally left the mountain road and joined the main road.
Even though it was almost 10 o'clock, there were still cars on the road, staggering towards the prosperous Modu city.
Forty minutes later, the two finally sat on the tallest building in Modu.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the lights were dim, and the scenery of the entire Magic City was under his feet.
Pei Yuzhi's expression was shaken.
This place was exactly the same as the Magic City in his world in his previous life.
The same extravagance and decadence.
There were several cruise ships floating on the river under his feet, with lights flashing on them, and even the surface of the river was sparkling.
"Is this your first time in the Magic City?"
"No." Pei Yuzhi turned his head and looked at Huo Qiao, "Why did you leave Dongsu so suddenly?"
Huo Qiao: "It's not sudden. Sculpture is my interest. Two years of study is enough. Studying in Dongsu University in the future is just a waste of time."
Pei Yuzhi raised the corner of his lips:
"Yes, it's just a diploma. The eldest son of the Huo family doesn't need those things."
This was a bit ambiguous.
Huo Qiao raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Pei Yuzhi didn't know why, but a sour feeling rose in his throat.
"---Why are you looking at me? What I said was wrong?"
"You came to the Magic City to see me? Is there something?"
"Not on purpose, I came to do business and came to see how you are doing."
"How am I doing?"
"Oh, there are wolves all around."
And they are perverts.
No matter if it's General Xu or Xie Linyuan.
I really don't know what special qualities Huo Qiao has that attract those pretty boys.
At this time, the waiter started to deliver the food, and the dining car was filled with white mist and cold air.
It was sashimi.
The two exchanged a few sharp words, but because of the arrival of the waiter, they both stopped talking at the same time.
Pei Yuzhi has been depressed since they parted at the hot spring hotel.
While he was busy with work and hadn't figured out how to win Huo Qiao back, he heard that he was going to get engaged. His
heart was swaying, as exciting as a roller coaster.
His remaining eyes inevitably saw the river a hundred meters below his feet,
and he saw the swaying boat again. It was no different from his heart that was like duckweed.
"If you have something to do, get out of here."
Pei Yuzhi:?
"What is it?"
The man opposite him looked puzzled and
couldn't afford to lie. Huo Qiao frowned and stared at the cold food on the table. He felt inexplicably unhappy.
[Eating sashimi late at night, this restaurant is just like this. ]
The man's impatient and mocking voice made Pei Yuzhi's back cold.
He always felt that Huo Qiao not only scolded the restaurant, but also scolded him.
"You check your phone once every 15 seconds on average. Aren't you waiting for someone to reply?"
Huo Qiao's eyebrows moved as he finished speaking. He immediately lowered his eyes and sipped his coffee.
Pei Yuzhi looked blank for a moment, then suddenly realized what Huo Qiao was talking about.
"Heh."
"What are you laughing at?"
"Sure enough, after returning to the Magic City, Young Master Huo has become even more irritable."
He said with a hint of joking.
Huo Qiao was startled. Pei Yuzhi just looked at him so leisurely.
Under the ambiguous light, Pei Yuzhi had already unbuttoned the collar of his shirt impatiently, revealing his slender neck and well-defined collarbone.
And Adam's apple.
[Why did Pei Yuzhi suddenly come to the Magic City? ]
[No fight, no acquaintance. Do the former rivals sympathize with each other? Childish. ]
Pei Yuzhi leaned against the backrest, and his arms could even rest on the table.
Hearing Huo Qiao's puzzled voice in his ears, Pei Yuzhi's mood became calmer.
"——The most important thing about coming to Shanghai is you. I didn't check my phone just now. I just thought the cruise ship on the river was cute."
"Cruise? I just bought a new cruise ship..."
Huo Qiao stopped talking for some reason.
Pei Yuzhi was puzzled: "What's wrong with the new cruise ship?"
Huo Qiao felt guilty for the first time.
"Nothing."
Pei Yuzhi frowned and felt that his expression was not right.
Who knew that Huo Qiao said slowly in his heart:
[——I forgot that the cruise ship has been used by General Xu recently. If I say it out loud, I'm afraid he will be upset when he hears General Xu's name. ]
Huo Qiao was speechless about Pei Yuzhi getting angry because of General Xu all the time.
He was very glad that he didn't blurt it out at this time.
But what he didn't know was that Pei Yuzhi could hear his voice.
"——Huo Qiao, you are really great!"
Pei Yuzhi's innocence was completely shattered by Huo Qiao's lack of understanding of romance.
But they finally had the chance to meet, and he couldn't bear to ruin it.
Besides, he was not the kind of man who would make a fuss when hearing the name of a pretty boy from Huo Qiao's mouth?
Huo Qiao ate a few pieces of sashimi hatefully, and his mood also relaxed.
Men eat quietly and quickly.
Infected by Pei Yuzhi, Huo Qiao's appetite also returned a little.
After drinking half a glass of red wine, his face was stained with some blush.
When he was in a relaxed mood, Pei Yuzhi suddenly spoke.
"——Huo Qiao, what do you think of me as your boyfriend?"
Huo Qiao curled his fingers slightly and slowly raised his eyes.
Pei Yuzhi's eyes wandered, his tone was a little uncomfortable but he spoke clearly, "We are both single, how about talking?"
Talk.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Even Huo Qiao's inner voice was not revealed.
Pei Yuzhi could not help but cast his eyes on Huo Qiao's face, and happened to see a slightly frivolous smile on Huo Qiao's face.
Pei Yuzhi's eyebrows jumped fiercely.
"Okay, if Master Pei is willing to be the subordinate, I naturally have no objection."
