C459 Collusive Collusion
4Tiankui yawned and slowly walked downstairs. Seeing a black shadow sitting on the sofa in the living room, she woke up immediately. Shaking her head, she walked to a nearby table and sat down. Looking at the servant who had prepared breakfast for her, she asked in a low voice, "Did that fool really sit in the living room all night?"
Although the servant didn't know who Tiankui meant by "that fool" at first, she immediately reacted after hearing the latter half of the sentence. She glanced at Huo Mingshen, then nodded and answered: "Yea, the rooms in this house are full. Last night, Miss Anna didn't tell us how to arrange Master Huo's accommodation, so we didn't know how to do it, so we could only let him sit here. "This morning, when we came to clean the house, we saw that Young Master Huo was already sitting there. We don't even know if he slept last night."
Hearing that, Tiankui looked at Huo Mingshen and thoughtfully nodded -- She started to feel that she was indeed very biased against Huo Mingshen from the beginning, even if he didn't deliberately target or even offend her.
Thinking of this, Tiankui felt somewhat guilty. After that, she realized that since she started following Soong Shiyan, she seemed to have become softer, more and more out of her organizational style.
Tiankui sat there thinking for a while, even the hot milk on the table had turned cold. Only then did she shake her head — nevermind. As an outsider, she had no reason to interfere with the emotional entanglement of Huo Mingshen, Huo Mingyang, and Soong Shiyan.
Tiankui finished her breakfast and then said to the servant beside her, "You guys prepare breakfast for that fool too. Let him come over and eat!"
The servant nodded.
Tiankui stood up from her seat and was about to leave when she seemed to remember something. She turned around and said to the servant: "Oh, don't forget to wake Xiaohu up later. Although it's the weekend, he still has to follow his master and train, so that he can get up earlier … his master has already arrived at the mansion, and he is still sleeping lazily. "
"Ok, Miss Anna, I'll go wake Xiaohu up." The servant nodded and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Tiankui was about to go out, but when she passed by the living room, she saw Huo Mingshen sitting there, looking at his phone as if he was dealing with something. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master Huo …"
"What's the matter?" Huo Mingshen raised his head and looked at Tiankui as he asked leisurely.
Tiankui looked at Huo Mingshen's face, but the words that were about to come out were stuck in her throat. She felt embarrassed and apologized for her prejudice against Huo Mingshen. She stood still for a moment and suddenly regretted calling out to him. She stomped her foot in anger and then continued, "Young Master Huo is so energetic. I'm really impressed that you can still be full of energy even after sitting here all night!"
Tiankui's words sounded really weird.
Huo Mingshen did not get angry when he heard this. He smiled nonchalantly and said slowly, "As long as it's for Jing Sung's sake, I won't be afraid, even if it's a frying pan. A mere staying up late is nothing. "
Feeling Huo Mingshen's sincerity towards Soong Shiyan, Tiankui's face alternated between green and white, regretting what she had just said.
"Miss Anna, Lain really likes you …" Huo Mingshen looked at Tiankui and thought of Lain, so he couldn't help but speak up for him.
Lain is very famous in the hacker community. Back then, many people and organizations wanted him to work for them. However, in the end, Lain chose him — even if he didn't pay half the money others gave him. There was only one reason — because his target was Soong Shiyan, and the woman in front of him was Soong Shiyan's assistant, inseparable from her.
Tiankui suddenly became angry as she heard Huo Mingshen talk about Lain. It was as if someone had opened her scab wound after she had gone through a lot of trouble. She looked at Huo Mingshen and said coldly, "Young Master Huo, since you have the time to meddle in other people's business, you might as well take care of your own. Besides, you don't need to meddle in my business."
Saying that, Tiankui turned around angrily and quickly left — — That damned Huo Mingshen! Thanks to his words, her sense of guilt had disappeared without a trace.
… ….
Xiaohu sat on the dining table, looked at Huo Mingshen and asked, "Mr Mingshen, when did you get up? Why didn't I know that you had already gotten up?"
Hearing this, Huo Mingshen patted Xiaohu's head and said, "Xiaohu, you sleep like a pig. Last night, there was thunder and it did not wake you up. I woke up with such little noise, how could you know?"
Xiaohu smiled embarrassedly and then continued to eat his breakfast.
It turned out that last night, Xiaohu was thirsty, so he went downstairs to the refrigerator to get some water to drink. When he saw Huo Mingshen sitting on the sofa, he knew that nobody helped him clean up his room. He took Huo Mingshen around the house and found that all the rooms were already occupied. Thus, he took Huo Mingshen to his bedroom to sleep for the night.
Huo Mingshen was worried about Soong Shiyan, so he couldn't sleep soundly. Thus, he got up from the bed early in the morning and went to the living room to sit down. He wanted to see when Soong Shiyan would wake up.
"The servant at home and your sister Anna both thought that I had been sitting here on the sofa all night. Just now, your sister Anna wanted to apologize to me!" Huo Mingshen looked at the surrounding servants and saw that they were all busy with their own things, so he told Xiaohu in a low voice with a crafty smile.
Hearing this, Xiaohu also had a bright smile on his face. He looked at Huo Mingshen and whispered, "Mr Mingshen, don't worry. I will never tell this to anyone else — I'm on Mr Mingshen's side!"
Huo Mingshen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the bright smile on Xiaohu's face.
… ….
"Miss has woken up!" A servant came down from upstairs and said to a servant in the living room, "Hurry and prepare some light food for the little miss, I will deliver it to her later."
After hearing the news about Soong Shiyan waking up, Huo Mingshen no longer cared about eating. He immediately stood up from his seat and quickly walked up the stairs. Now that Tiankui wasn't around, there was naturally no one to stop him. Huo Mingshen came to Soong Shiyan's bedroom unhindered.3
Soong Shiyan was lying on her stomach beside the toilet. She wanted to vomit, but was unable to do so. She sighed — it seemed to be the side effect of powerful sedatives, nausea, even vomiting. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and struggled to her feet. After washing her face, she turned around and walked towards the bed.
As she walked out of the bathroom, Soong Shiyan saw Huo Mingshen standing at the door of her bedroom with a worried look on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Soong Shiyan glanced at Huo Mingshen and said coldly.
"I came to see if you were better." Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan's still cold face and replied nervously.
Last night, when he had watched Soong Shiyan and the opium poppy fall into the river, when he had discovered that the warm liquid that had splashed onto his body was blood, he had felt as if his entire world had been torn apart at that moment. He didn't dare imagine what the world would be like without Soong Shiyan. That was why he had jumped into the river without thinking.
"Very well, I will not die-can you leave now?" Soong Shiyan stopped and looked at Huo Mingshen with a distant expression. However, her face blushed a little.
Although her consciousness had been a bit blurry at that time, she clearly remembered that when she was entangled by the opium poppy and unable to leave the water, a black figure swam towards her — that figure was Huo Mingshen. She still remembered that back then when he was still in the Gaoshun Island, he was very afraid of water. Last night, however, he had jumped into the river and swam toward her.
His lips pressed tightly against hers as he fermented for her. Even now, she still felt that warm sensation, as if it was still lingering on her lips. At the thought of this, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but turn her head away, her expression a little unnatural.
"Jing Sung, I was wrong — if I hadn't secretly taken Xiaohu away yesterday, you wouldn't have been in danger. Rest assured that from now on, I will definitely protect you well and will never put you in danger again! " Huo Mingshen looked at Soong Shiyan and said firmly.
"You don't have to be kind — as long as you don't show up in front of me again, I think." Soong Shiyan looked at Huo Mingshen with an indifferent expression as she spoke.
Hearing that, the smile on Huo Mingshen's face froze for a split-second — he had thought that after this incident, Soong Shiyan's prejudice towards him wouldn't be as deep as before. Unexpectedly, he still overestimated his position in Soong Shiyan's heart.
"Ms Soong, what did Mr Mingshen do wrong? Why did you make him stop appearing in front of you?" Xiaohu walked into Soong Shiyan's bedroom, looked at Soong Shiyan, and asked in a childish voice, "Last night, Mr Mingshen sent you home. He was worried about you, so he stayed in the living room all night. If you don't believe it, you can ask the aunts at home. They all know. — And Sister Anna saw it. "
Saying that, Xiaohu took advantage of Soong Shiyan's inattentiveness and winked at Huo Mingshen.
Huo Mingshen secretly gave a thumbs up and also winked at Xiaohu.
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan's expression became absent-minded — — she could guess that Huo Mingshen would stay in Soong Family Great House to wait for her to wake up, but she really didn't expect that Huo Mingshen would sit in the living room for an entire night.
"Mr Mingshen is so good to Ms Soong. That's why I say, Ms Soong, can you also be nice to Mr Mingshen?" Xiaohu blinked his big eyes as he looked at Soong Shiyan and said coquettishly.
