Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Hero Saves the Beauty
Song Song appeared a bit nervous. Before pushing the door open, she glanced at Ms. Song beside her, whose face still wore a look of disdain.
Was her queen complex that severe?
Inside the room, it wasn’t only Huo Chen. Also present were Huo Junting and Huo Huohuo.
Huo Huohuo seemed to have rested enough and looked energetic again, showing no signs of negativity from that incident.
As soon as she saw Song Song, she immediately stood up excitedly, "Song Song, you’re here!"
However, when her eyes fell on someone else beside her, Huo Huohuo became slightly timid. Could this be Song Song’s mother?
Why did she look so difficult to get along with...
Song Song smiled and nodded, only then realizing that this was a family gathering to get to know each other.
Huo Chen enthusiastically stood up to pull out a chair for Song Xueqin, smiling, "Xueqin, sit here."
"Song Song, you sit by Huohuo!"
"Okay..."
Song Xueqin reluctantly sat next to Huo Chen. But as he was holding onto something she cared about, she had no choice but to sit down, looking very displeased.
Her tone was even more sarcastic, "This whole act is such a pretense."
Huo Chen chuckled, unfazed, "The three of you siblings should know each other, all young people, you’ll soon be familiar."
Song Xueqin’s eyes widened in anger, "Huo Chen! Don’t push it! What do you mean three siblings!"
"Of course, Junting, Song Song, and Huohuo... they are the three siblings!" Huo Chen said nonchalantly.
Song Xueqin sneered, "Huo Chen, you really know how to manipulate people’s feelings. Who said Song Song is your child? She isn’t! She’s only my child!"
"Xueqin, do you really have to be so stubborn? Now that our family has finally reunited, can’t we just peacefully have a meal?"
"..."
Song Xueqin was about to explode. She understood Huo Chen’s intentions; he wanted to use Song Song to force her to be with him...
Because he knew that her biggest concern was Song Song learning about the past.
For Song Song’s sake, she could tolerate him, but he better not go too far, taking advantage where he shouldn’t.
"Huo Chen, forget it! I can never be with you!"
Song Xueqin spoke bluntly, almost cold and emotionless.
Song Song didn’t understand. What had happened in the past to cause such tension between them...
And, even after such a long time, the anger in her mother hadn’t subsided.
At this moment, Huohuo, sitting beside Song Song, kept observing something, and after a while, she suddenly concluded, whispering, "Song Song, you don’t look like my dad or your mom."
"Are you a genetic mutation?"
Song Song couldn’t quite respond at first, but then she realized it might be true; she didn’t quite resemble either of them.
Because if she looked like either one, she would look prettier than she does now.
Could this be the so-called two positives make a negative?
How frustrating!
Dinner, though attended by Song Xueqin, seemed more like she came deliberately to spoil things, occasionally making everyone uncomfortable. But no matter what she did or said, Huo Chen never complained, treating her like a queen the entire time.
The atmosphere was so awkward that Song Song left halfway to get some fresh air outside.
Seeing her leave, Huo Junting followed her out.
Song Song placed her hands on the window ledge, gazing up at the moon, lost in her thoughts...
Yesterday she called him again, but he didn’t answer, nor did he after it rang for a long time.
Huo Junting walked up to her, "What’s wrong, got something on your mind?"
"...Oh." Song Song was a bit surprised, "No, nothing."
As she spoke, she was suddenly pulled into a broad embrace.
"Careful—"
And at that moment, a man standing not far away witnessed this heroic rescue!
