Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 95 - 73: Let Me Introduce—Huo Zui, My Boyfriend
Getting close to Xu Zeqing, becoming his lover, that’s just the first step.
Making her completely capture Xu Zeqing’s heart and then wreak havoc between Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu, that’s the second step.
Her ultimate goal is to leave Xu Zeqing with a broken family, lonely until old age!
After breakfast, Xu Xingguang went next door to find Huo Wen’an.
Huo Wen’an hadn’t eaten breakfast yet; he was holding a piece of milk candy in one hand and a bowl of pitch-black herbal medicine in the other, drinking the medicine with a look of deep-seated bitterness.
Xu Xingguang saw him in that state and couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Are you afraid of bitterness?"
Not wanting to be underestimated by Xu Xingguang, Huo Wen’an tilted his head back and finished the bowl of herbal medicine.
After drinking, Huo Wen’an couldn’t stand it anymore and, under Xu Xingguang’s mocking gaze, stuffed the piece of milk candy into his mouth.
"Do you like eating sweet potatoes? I can make sweet potato syrup, and it’s much sweeter than milk candy."
Huo Wen’an had eaten it as a child, he said, "Grandma Yanhua in town used to make it. I ate it as a child, but after she passed away, no one in town makes it anymore."
Had Xu Xingguang not mentioned it, it would have been fine, but after she brought it up, Huo Wen’an couldn’t help but crave it.
"Then I’ll make it for you tonight. You go buy sweet potatoes, the sweeter the better."
Huo Wen’an nodded.
He noticed that today Xu Xingguang was wearing a denim jacket and work pants that were convenient for movement, along with a pair of sports sneakers, so he asked her, "Are you going out?"
"Yes, I’m going to visit the Xu family and move some stuff."
Huo Wen’an subconsciously asked, "Do you need my help?"
Xu Xingguang looked Huo Wen’an up and down, pursing her lips with disdain. "With you looking so frail, can you really move anything?"
"Then, I’ll drive for you."
"Drive your friend’s Bentley?" Xu Xingguang shook her head, "I have a lot of stuff; it won’t fit in his car, there’s even a piano."
Huo Wen’an said, "Then take your truck."
Xu Xingguang had bought a truck, which she previously used to transport lumber.
"Alright then. Change your clothes and we’ll leave right away."
Huo Wen’an returned inside to change into casual clothes, put on a baseball cap, and became Xu Xingguang’s truck driver.
By the time they leisurely made their way to the Xu family, it was already afternoon.
Today is You Mingyue and You Jiaoyang’s birthday. You Jingqiu didn’t go to the beauty salon for work; she called a celebration company to help set up the party.
Upon seeing Xu Xingguang jump down from the truck, You Jingqiu instinctively wanted to say some unkind words to disgust her.
But when she caught a glimpse of Huo Wen’an following behind Xu Xingguang, she immediately closed her lips tightly.
She recognized Huo Wen’an as the neighbor who had killed someone and gone to jail.
When it comes to murderers, You Jingqiu was somewhat apprehensive.
"You’re here?" You Jingqiu leaned gracefully against the central column of the villa’s gate and said, "The piano is in the living room, go ahead and move it yourself."
Having said that, she pretended to politely invite Xu Xingguang to dinner, "Today is Jiaoyang and Ming Yue’s birthday, since you’re here, would you like to stay for dinner?"
She thought that since Xu Xingguang didn’t get along with You Mingyue, she surely wouldn’t stay.
But surprisingly, Xu Xingguang nodded and said, "Sure."
You Jingqiu was instantly disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
However, Xu Xingguang was originally a daughter of this family, so if she wanted to stay for dinner, You Jingqiu couldn’t say anything.
Moreover, the people from the celebration company were still watching.
You Jingqiu glanced at Huo Wen’an standing behind Xu Xingguang, pretending not to recognize him, and asked curiously, "Xingguang, is this the moving worker you’ve brought?"
Today, Xu Xingguang was wearing a white T-shirt with a denim jacket and black loose work pants. Huo Wen’an also wore a white T-shirt paired with a black work jacket and pants.
The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together made quite the pair.
Huo Wen’an knew You Jingqiu was deliberately mocking him, yet he wasn’t angry; he was about to say he was Xu Xingguang’s driver when Xu Xingguang said, "Let me introduce, Huo Zui, my boyfriend."
Yesterday, Huo Wen’an had already been stimulated, and today, upon hearing Xu Xingguang once again acknowledge him as her boyfriend, he was pleasantly surprised yet remained composed.
But You Jingqiu was like she’d seen a ghost, exclaiming, "Aren’t you dating Young Master Xiahou? How could you be with him?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wen’an’s expression changed.
Is that kid Xiahou Huai Gui also pursuing Xingguang?
Xu Xingguang clicked her tongue playfully and said, "As long as my partner isn’t You Jiaoyang, it has nothing to do with you."
These words carried such force that they silenced You Jingqiu right away.
This time, Xu Xingguang was here not only to move the piano but also to take away her mother’s collection of books and her own old belongings that remained at the Xu family’s house.
