C282 Love Growing

When Huo Mingyang woke up, he felt that his head was still dizzy. He looked at the unfamiliar room in front of him. For a moment, he did not know where he was. He sat up in bed, closed his eyes, and thought back to what had happened last night.

Last night, he was so angry that he drove away from Huo Family. However, after a while, he found himself unable to find a place to go, so he drove to A City in search of Jing Sung. After that, he walked out of Jing Sung's house and after a long period of hesitation, he still couldn't help but call her. However, he did not remember what happened next.

Huo Mingyang smelled the strong alcohol smell around him. For a moment, he thought he drank a broken piece last night. However, after some thought, he did not drink last night. After leaving home, he went outside Soong Shiyan's home, where would he have the time to drink?

Huo Mingyang rubbed his eyebrows, which were a bit painful, and looked at the wet, alcohol smelling towel beside his pillow and his unbuttoned shirt. Only then did he realize that he must have fainted from fever last night – no wonder he had been feeling unwell yesterday.

So, he should be at Jing Sung's home now? The person that took care of him last night was Jing Sung?

Thinking of this, Huo Mingyang immediately got up from the bed and went to the guest room's bathroom. He washed quickly and left the room.

Huo Mingyang walked up the stairs and saw the servants cleaning downstairs. Therefore, Huo Mingyang slowly walked down the stairs and asked the servant, "Where is your Miss?"

"Miss is having breakfast in the dining room." The servant looked at Huo Mingyang, pointed at the dining hall and answered.

Hearing that, Huo Mingyang nodded and walked towards the dining hall. As he walked, he pondered in his mind.

Last night, he must have had a fever and fainted outside the car. Could it be that Jing Sung was the one who carried him inside? No, as a woman, Jing Sung did not have that much strength.

If Jing Sung dragged him in, there must be a lot of dust on his pants. However, when he was washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he didn't have much dust on him – in other words, the servant in the house had carried him in.

Thinking of this, Huo Mingyang couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in his heart.

He suddenly remembered. In his hazy state, he had held a person's hand. That person's hand was so warm that it made him feel at ease amidst his panic. He vaguely remembered that before that person left, that person extended his hand to cover him with a quilt, causing his heart to palpitate.

He'd always thought that the person who took care of him was Jing Sung. However, now that he thought about it, the person who took care of him was probably the same servant from before.

Thinking about this, Huo Mingyang turned his head and looked at the old servant. He couldn't help but shiver.

… ….

Soong Shiyan was still eating when Huo Mingyang arrived at the dining hall.

The table was near the French windows, and there was a bouquet of pink flowers on it. Soong Shiyan was sitting there, head lowered as she drank her milk, exposing her slender and fair neck.

The pink roses outside the french window were just open, and the sun was warm as the window was pushed open. A light breeze blew in, bringing with it the delicate fragrance of plants. It was a refreshing sight to behold. Soong Shiyan held the cup of milk and looked out the window at the cluster of roses. The sunlight shone down on her body, coating her with a layer of golden radiance. This added a hint of gentleness to her entire being.

Soong Shiyan heard the footsteps and turned around to look at Huo Mingyang with a smile. As he looked at Soong Shiyan's faint smile, a poem suddenly appeared in Huo Mingyang's mind: "Looking back at her with a smile, she looks like she has lost all color."

Huo Mingyang stood on the spot, staring at Soong Shiyan blankly. He couldn't even move his feet. He didn't know why, but he felt that his heart was actually beating so hard.

When Soong Shiyan heard the footsteps, she thought it was the servant at home. But when she turned around, it was Huo Mingyang. Seeing this, the smile on her face immediately collapsed.

Seeing the smile on Soong Shiyan's face disappear without a trace the moment she saw him, Huo Mingyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he still acted as if he didn't care and slowly walked towards Soong Shiyan before sitting opposite her.

Soong Shiyan put down the cup in her hands, looked at Huo Mingyang, crossed her arms over her chest, and expressionlessly said, "Second Young Master Huo, since you're awake, you should leave now — it's already 9 o'clock, if you don't leave quickly, you won't be able to get back to the company this morning. At that time, Second Young Master Huo, you can't explain it to your father!" Seeing that Soong Shiyan's first words to him was to order him to leave, Huo Mingyang had a bad taste in his mouth. However, he was rather calm, as if he didn't care about the company at all.

Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan and said with a smile, "Jing Sung, even if it's just an ordinary friend, you should still keep me here to eat breakfast before leaving. This is the way to treat guests, isn't it?"

Hearing this, the corners of Soong Shiyan's lips curled up into a smile, but that smile didn't reach her eyes. She looked at Huo Mingyang and said, "Second Young Master Huo, why don't I know when we became friends?"

Hearing Soong Shiyan's words, Huo Mingyang did not get angry. He looked at Soong Shiyan and said miserably, "My stomach is a bit sick, if I don't eat a meal, I might faint — when the time comes, if I pass out again at your house, you will not be able to deal with it well, right?"

Seeing how thick-skinned Huo Mingyang was, Soong Shiyan couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Since she also wanted to eat, she would let him eat his fill. She wasn't lacking in money. When he was done eating, he would get a servant to chase him out!

Thinking of this, Soong Shiyan called a servant over and said with a smile, "Go to the kitchen and bring the rest of the breakfast over."

Hearing that, the smile on Huo Mingyang's face became even wider. He didn't know why, but he felt that the Soong Shiyan of today had really moved him. Thinking about this, Huo Mingyang couldn't help but size up Soong Shiyan who sat opposite him.

Soong Shiyan didn't go to the company today, so she didn't put on any makeup at all. Her hair was simply tied in a ball, and she looked neat and fresh. She did not wear makeup, and there was a trace of domestic laziness on her pure white face. However, around her eyes floated a faint grayish-black color.

Even though the dark circles made Soong Shiyan look a bit tired, in Huo Mingyang's eyes, her dark circles made him feel cute — — This Soong Shiyan was no longer the goddess who lived in the world, but an ordinary woman.

When Soong Shiyan saw Huo Mingyang's gaze stay on her eyes, she couldn't help but squint. She looked at Huo Mingyang with a cold and dangerous glint in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me?" Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang and said coldly.

Huo Mingyang finally came back to his senses after hearing that. He looked at Soong Shiyan and couldn't help but think of the pair of warm hands from last night, which made his heart throb. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help but ask, "Last night, what happened to me?"

Huo Mingyang was too embarrassed to be too direct, so as to avoid arousing Soong Shiyansheng's dislike, he asked in a roundabout way.

At this moment, the servant brought the breakfast over to the dining table.

Seeing this, Soong Shiyan looked at the servant and said, "Explain to him how he went to the guest room last night."

After the servant put the breakfast on the table, he slowly opened his mouth and said to Huo Mingyang, "Second Young Master Huo, last night, my family's Miss saw that you fainted outside, so she asked me and Sister Yu to carry you to the guest room."

The "Sister Yu" that the servant had mentioned was a servant that the old tutor had sent over from Huo Family. However, Sister Yu went out early in the morning to buy groceries. That's why she didn't meet Huo Mingyang.

Hearing that, Huo Mingyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. Could it be that the hand he grabbed in his dream last night belonged to this servant? With this thought, he vaguely felt that the hand was somewhat rough, and there seemed to be calluses where the fingers were connected. This servant had been working all year round and had calluses on his hands, so it was normal. However, Jing Sung didn't look like a person who had worked before, so it seemed that those hands belonged to that servant!

Thinking about this, Huo Mingyang felt a bit uncomfortable. His lips trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the pastries and milk on the table. He had no appetite.

He knew that Jing Sung hated him so much, so how could she possibly wipe his body and cool him down? Huo Mingyang smiled helplessly.

Just as the servant was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Huo Mingyang, "Second Young Master Huo, I have something to talk to you about."

Seeing that this servant seemed to have something important to tell him, Huo Mingyang squeezed out a smile with difficulty. He looked at her and slowly said: "Tell me."

"Second Young Master Huo, I don't know what relationship you have with my Miss, but next time, you better not get drunk like last night and come to my Miss's house. "If anyone else finds out about this, they will always blame the woman." Normally, Soong Shiyan was very good to her servants, so naturally, this servant was also very concerned about Soong Shiyan, worried that Huo Mingyang's incident would cause a bad effect to Soong Shiyan. Hence, she slightly crossed the line and told Huo Mingyang.

"Drunk?" Hearing that, Huo Mingyang was a little confused. He hadn't touched the wine at all last night, so how could he have gotten drunk?

"Smell it yourself. It smells of alcohol all over your body." The servant said with a frown.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. This servant was indeed doing it for her own good, but he had done it for her good.

At the beginning, when Huo Mingyang asked her that question, Soong Shiyan knew that Huo Mingyang thought she was taking care of him last night. That was why she intentionally pushed this question to the servant. She successfully made Huo Mingyang misunderstand that it was the servant who took care of him last night. Just now, from Huo Mingyang's reaction, she knew that he did believe her.

However, the servant's words had let Huo Mingyang know the truth. Soong Shiyan sighed. It seemed that the servant was too sleepy last night, so she could not remember anything.

Huo Mingyang's face lit up when he heard the servant's words.

He didn't drink at all. The reason why he reeked of alcohol was because he had a fever last night. Someone had used alcohol to cool him down. He thought it was the servants who did it. However, looking at the reaction of the servant, she didn't know about this matter at all and even thought that he was drunk. So, the person who took care of her last night was Jing Sung?

Huo Mingyang didn't explain to the servant. After all, the servant was worried that he would damage Jing Sung's reputation, so naturally, he wasn't foolish enough to ask the servant who exactly was taking care of him in the guest room last night. However, he was now convinced in his heart that the person who took care of him was none other than Jing Sung!

Thinking about this, Huo Mingyang was happy and had an appetite again.

Seeing him like this, Soong Shiyan could not help but sigh in her heart and didn't say anything.

After the servant left the dining room, Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan with a gentle smile that gave Soong Shiyan goosebumps.

"Jing Sung, last night, the person taking care of me in the guest room was you, wasn't it?" Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan and asked with a smile.

Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang with a sneer on her face. Then, she jokingly said, "What a joke! "Why should I care for you if I don't want to? — I wouldn't have let the servants carry you into my house if I hadn't been afraid that you would die on my doorstep and give the entertainment reporters a chance to make up a false story!"

"Since you didn't take care of me, then why do you have dark circles under your eyes today?" Seeing that Soong Shiyan didn't want to admit it, Huo Mingyang continued.

Hearing that, Soong Shiyan pretended to be angry. She looked at Huo Mingyang and spoke with a hint of anger in her voice, "Second Young Master Huo, don't you know that pointing out her looks in front of a woman will make her very angry?"

Seeing that Soong Shiyan intended to change the topic, Huo Mingyang smiled and stopped talking about it, in order to avoid making Soong Shiyan feel disgusted.

"Why didn't you ask me why I came to see you last night?" Huo Mingyang noticed that Soong Shiyan didn't seem to care about his matters. He sighed and asked.

Soong Shiyan was playing with the flowers in the vase. Hearing that, she raised her head, looked at Huo Mingyang and lazily said, "Then why did you drive for three hours last night and come here to find me?"

Huo Mingyang was about to say something, but he stopped himself when the words were about to come out of his mouth — — Jing Sung's personality was a bit domineering, so she definitely wouldn't like a man weaker than her. Perhaps, only those who were so powerful that they were fearless would be able to make Jing Sung admire them.

Huo Mingyang lowered his head and looked at the breakfast in front of him. He was puzzled by his abnormal behavior last night and this morning.

Last night, he didn't have to drive three hours to A City, where any of the hustle and bustle of nightclubs and bars would let him vent. Today, he should have left early and rushed back to the company, but instead he chose to sit here brazenly and eat breakfast with Jing Sung. He could have said whatever he wanted to say, but he started to consider whether what he said would make Jing Sung unhappy.

The most important thing was, why did his heart beat so fast when he saw Jing Sung now?

Soong Shiyan had been waiting for Huo Mingyang's answer, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't hear his reply. He could not help but look at Huo Mingyang in confusion — what kind of trick was Huo Mingyang playing now?

Huo Mingyang was sitting on his seat with a frown on his face. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Sometimes he shook his head, sometimes he sighed, looking conflicted.

"Huo Mingyang — —" Soong Shiyan leaned against the back of the chair, crossed her arms over her chest, and calmly called out.

Huo Mingyang came back to his senses after hearing that. He looked at Soong Shiyan with a perplexed expression.

"Alright, since you have already eaten breakfast, please leave in a round manner!" Soong Shiyan pointed at the door at the side, her face expressionless.

"Jing Sung …"

Huo Mingyang seemed to want to say something, but Soong Shiyan didn't give him the chance to do so. She smiled coldly and said, "Second Young Master Huo, if you don't go back now, I think you won't be able to explain it to your father! Or are you not afraid that Lih Jinhsing will snatch everything you want while you're gone? "

"How do you know Lih Jinhsing?" Hearing this, Huo Mingyang's eyes revealed a trace of a serious expression.

"As the successor of Huo Family, with such a person in our family, don't tell me that I don't have the right to know?" Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang and said leisurely.

Hearing that, Huo Mingyang felt that he was too sensitive to everything related to Lih Jinhsing. How could Jing Sung have anything to do with Lih Jinhsing?

Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Jing Sung, what kind of person am I in your heart?"

Soong Shiyan noticed the serious expression on Huo Mingyang's face and asked curiously, "Second Young Master Huo, why do you ask this?"

"If, I am not Huo Mingyang, then, what will you do?" Huo Mingyang looked at Soong Shiyan and asked quietly. If he wasn't Huo Mingyang, would he have a chance?

Looking at Huo Mingyang's expectant gaze, Soong Shiyan's heart couldn't help but be moved. Before she knew about Lih Jinhsing's existence, she did have this thought — — let her gain Huo Mingyang's trust or like him. In this way, she would be able to use this to shake Huo Mingyang's heart, causing him to cross eyes with Huo Chenglieh and Chiang Shuru, and thus saving Huo Family for the old man.

However, while interacting with Huo Mingyang, he realized that Huo Mingyang was a very thoughtful person. He would not easily give in to his feelings for others, and he would definitely not like her as a potential threat. Therefore, Soong Shiyan had been hesitating on whether she should give up on this plan.

However, after knowing about Lih Jinhsing's existence, Soong Shiyan changed her plan of combat. Therefore, this idea was completely discarded by her.

"Second Young Master Huo, there are no ifs in this world." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang and said coldly.

If there wasn't Lih Jinhsing, Soong Shiyan might have been patient and fought with Huo Mingyang. However, now that Lih Jinhsing was interacting with Huo Mingyang in the Huo Family, she believed that before long, Huo Mingyang would completely lose his cool and do something irrational. Therefore, people like Soong Shiyan, who were afraid of trouble, naturally didn't want to have anything to do with Huo Mingyang.

Hearing that, a hint of disappointment appeared in Huo Mingyang's eyes. However, he still looked at Soong Shiyan, squeezed out a smile and said, "Yeah, there's never been any 'ifs' in this world." However, as long as it's something I want, I will get it no matter what it is.

Thinking about this, Huo Mingyang's eyes revealed a hint of ambition and a determination to win.

"Second Young Master Huo, since you have finished your breakfast, please leave as soon as possible." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang and said calmly.

Huo Mingyang did not insist, afraid that Soong Shiyan would become more and more dissatisfied with him because of this. Huo Mingyang stood up and said goodbye to Soong Shiyan, "Jing Sung, thank you —"

"Second Young Master Huo, no need to thank me. Even if it's a stranger, I will still help." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingyang and said with an expressionless face.0

Seeing Soong Shiyan's reaction, the corner of Huo Mingyang's mouth raised into a smile. In this world, there are a lot of people who don't mean what they say.
