Chi Tang took two large steps back and said without hesitation, "You can go if you want, I'm not going."
She knew that in this kind of situation, Fifth Brother would think of her.
snort.
Brother Wu was completely bewildered: "What? I haven't even said what I need you to do yet?"
"With your scheming nature, you must want me to tell Sister Yunzhao that you don't like her. I'm not going to say it. You do your own thing, go ahead and tell her."
"..."
Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and spoke his mind.
How come kids these days are so smart?
They're not easily fooled.
"Brother Wu, what kind of girls do you like?" Chi Tang leaned closer, blinked, and asked curiously.
Fifth Brother is already fifteen years old, and he should be engaged in two more years.
When you think about it this way, time really flies.
While thinking, Xiao Wu blurted out, "Someone like you."
"Young hero, you have excellent taste."
Chi Tang held her face in her hands with a blissful expression.
She also felt that she was the best kind of girl.
"Ahem," Huo Chen coughed twice to attract attention, then said firmly, "I like you just the way you are."
Chi Tang blinked and said with a grin, "I know, of course Brother Chenyi likes me."
Huo Chenyi's lips slowly curled up.
"Go, go, Tangtang, go see if your mother needs any help."
Brother Wu glanced at Huo Chenyi and said firmly, "Chenyi, I need your help with something. You can stay here."
Unsuspecting, Chi Tang skipped and hopped out.
After Chi Tang left, Huo Chen's smile disappeared.
Although Huo Chenyi was very kind to the Chi family, he almost only smiled when Chi Tang was present.
It was precisely because Brother Wu realized this that he kept Huo Chenyi around.
"Chenyi, do you like Tangtang?"
"Of course. Just say what you want to say."
Huo Chenyi didn't understand.
Isn't it common knowledge in the family that he likes Tangtang? Why did they leave him alone to say such things?
Brother Wu asked, "So, do you like her like a younger sister, or do you plan to marry her in the future?"
"Marry her?"
Huo Chenyi was somewhat flustered.
Clearly, he hadn't thought about this issue.
"Yes, think about it, if Tangtang marries someone else in the future, not to mention you, even we, her own brothers, can't be too close to Tangtang."
In the future, Tangtang will be with another man, get married, have children, and run their own family.
To avoid suspicion, she will also have less contact with you, and you can no longer hold hands, talk, and be as intimate as you are now.
As Xiao Wu Ge spoke, the imagined scene flashed and alternated in Huo Chenyi's mind.
Huo Chenyi asked somewhat nervously, "Why? Why do you have to keep your distance from me if Tangtang marries someone else?"
Isn't it good to stay like this, always like this?
He didn't want to disrupt the current happiness.
"Because she is someone else's wife, and you and Tangtang have no blood relation, you must keep your distance, otherwise Tangtang's husband will misunderstand the two of you."
"How can a man like this be worthy of Tangtang?" Huo Chenyi's breathing became heavy, and he was quite irritable.
Brother Wu smiled knowingly: "All men in the world are the same, because none of them will allow their wives to get too close to other men."
Seeing the brutality in Huo Chen's eyes, Brother Wu added, "If you marry Tangtang in the future, you will also not allow her to get too close to other men."
"Oh, so you don't like Tangtang getting too close to that young master Shen, do you?"
That's why he wanted to ask Huo Chenyi what his true feelings were for Tangtang.
This will also prevent things from escalating to an uncontrollable level in the future.
"I……"
Did he marry Tangtang?
From now on, Tangtang will belong to him alone?
Can……
Huo Chen hesitated for a moment, then opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with determination and clarity:
"I love Tangtang. I consider her the most precious person in the world. I will not force her to do anything. I hope she can be safe and happy."
As long as it's what she likes, as long as it's what she wants, even if she marries someone else and has to keep her distance from me, I'll be willing!
All he wanted was for Tangtang to be happy.
As long as Tangtang is happy, that's enough.
"Really? Is this really what you think?"
Brother Wu was somewhat incredulous.
He had been observing Huo Chenyi for the past few days and discovered that Huo Chenyi harbored some domineering thoughts towards Chi Tang.
Take that young master Shen, for example.
It's clear that he hasn't shown any other feelings for Chi Tang, and given the age difference, it's unlikely.
But Huo Chenyi always made sure to show Shen Nanxun that his relationship with Chi Tang was special.
He thought Huo Chenyi regarded Chi Tang as his future wife.
"...No one can predict what will happen in the future. People change, and things change too. I'm afraid I won't be able to make any promises about the future now, Brother Xiao Wu."
Huo Chenyi said coldly.
How could someone like him hold Tangtang back?
Being born with a hard and unlucky fate, and...
He would absolutely not... until he had absolute power to protect Chi Tang.
"That's good."
Little Fifth Brother looked relieved.
This reaction, when seen by Huo Chen, caused a pang of pain in his heart.
Fifth Brother doesn't want Tangtang to be with him.
