Qiao Yongyong pouted and then fell silent.

This is why Miss Qiao, who likes handsome men from all over the world, is particularly uninterested in Huo Zhenyang.

This man is too gloomy and too fierce.

Not like Boss Nie... Although he’s also cold and aloof, at least he’s not so harsh on girls.

Those peach-blossom-like eyes lightly glance over, igniting a rage to punish him on the spot, hey!

As Qiao Yongyong indulged in her fantasies, she started enjoying the city scenery along the way.

Before long, she became excited: "Wow, I didn’t expect Yunling to be so big and beautiful, I’ll go out for a stroll later."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Please remember, your trip to Yunling is for official business, not for pleasure."

"What’s the harm? Business is business, and strolling around won’t affect anything!"

"Don’t talk back to me! To be safe, during your time in Yunling, you cannot leave Disheng every day."

"OMG! You’re not kidding, right? You—" Qiao Yongyong exclaimed in frustration, "No wonder Miss Chu divorced you! With your controlling and unreasonable demeanor, which woman can endure it? I should bow three times to her! I really sympathize with Miss Chu!"

In the front driver’s seat, George gasped,

This Miss always hits where it hurts, always poking at Boss’s sore spot!

Huo Zhenyang’s eyes darkened, and he no longer bothered to speak nicely, glaring harshly at her:

"You have two choices: either you stay willingly in the villa every day, or I’ll have George break your legs and keep you there. Qiao Yongyong, this time you are sent by the head of the Qiao family to complete a mission, representing your brother. As the young lady of Longding Society, I hope you can show some responsibility and not only think about shopping and flirting with men."

Qiao Yongyong gritted her teeth: "Fine, fine, whatever you say, okay?"

What can she do when her brother respects him so much and gets along so well with him!

Seeing Qiao Yongyong reluctantly suppressed by the Boss, George couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Miss Qiao Yongyong is the only full sibling of Qiao Zonghan, the current head of Longding Society.

This trip to Mexico to investigate matters related to Huo Zhenxuan in recent years was facilitated by the Longding Society, which has a good relationship with the Boss.

The Qiao family has controlled Longding Society for generations.

In this generation, there are only the siblings Qiao Zonghan and Qiao Yongyong.

Qiao Zonghan, almost twenty years older than his sister, treats Qiao Yongyong not so much as a sister but more like a daughter, spoiling her almost excessively.

Since Qiao Zonghan’s health is not very good and he has no children, it means that Qiao Yongyong is very likely to be the next female head of the Longding Society.

Perhaps wanting to train this sister, Qiao Zonghan tasked Qiao Yongyong with investigating Huo Family’s Second Young Master’s affairs this time.

Although Qiao Yongyong loves to have fun, she is very efficient when it comes to serious business.

Having clarified Huo Zhenxuan’s activities in Mexico over the years and gathered evidence, she came to Yunling representing her brother, accompanying Huo Zhenyang.

The purpose of her visit is naturally to help Huo Zhenyang expose the misdemeanors of Huo Family’s Second Young Master.

George also understands why the Boss is worried about Qiao Yongyong going out.

Qiao Yongyong staying in Yunling, it’s only a matter of time before Huo Zhenxuan gets wind of it.

What Qiao Yongyong is here for and what she is doing in Yunling, Huo Zhenxuan will surely guess.

If Huo Zhenxuan knew that Qiao Yongyong had evidence of what he had been up to in Mexico for the past few years, he might pose a danger to her.

If it had been the earlier Second Young Master, perhaps the Boss wouldn’t be so worried.

It was precisely because he now knew what Zhenyang had done in Mexico that Boss believed that the current Zhenyang was capable of anything.

Therefore, this time Boss hired bodyguards to protect Qiao Yongyong’s safety 24 hours a day.

The dimly lit bedroom.

The door sounded and opened.

Light footsteps approached.

Huo Zhenyang was awakened by the noise, opened his eyes, and saw Jiayi standing at the edge of the bed, her hands tugging at her clothes, hanging her little head silently staring at him.

A surge of ecstasy rose in his heart, which instantly turned into a desire to punish her for her coldness to him. He sat up, leaning on the bed, and jeered, "What are you doing here? Don’t you like cooking soup for Nie Yixiao?"

Little Kitten fiddled with the corner of her clothes: "I made a mistake."

He straightened up, tilted her chin up: "Where did you go wrong? Tell me."

Little Kitten’s watery eyes looked up at him, her eyelashes blinking, enough to throw him into disarray: "I shouldn’t have cooked soup for Brother Yixiao, I shouldn’t have said I would reconnect with him, I shouldn’t have been so cold towards you."

He was very pleased, his thumb massaging her tender chin: "Then from now on do you know what to do?"

Perhaps because of the roughness of the man’s fingers, Little Kitten felt a bit of pain, whimpering: "I won’t argue with you anymore, I won’t deal with Brother Yixiao anymore."

His face brightened with delight: "What else?"

"Hmm?" She looked at him confused.

He patted his leg, suggestively, "Shouldn’t you make it up to me? "

Unusually, she took the initiative to move closer to him, then wrapped her arms around his neck.

Inhaling the scent of her neck, he said in a deep voice, "Call me ’husband’ and let me hear it."

It had been a long time since he heard her tender call, and he itched for it with every fiber of his being.

Just as Little Kitten was about to utter the word, a cursed hand shook him awake. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shaken--awake!

Damn, it was just a dream!

Huo Zhenyang looked angrily at Qiao Yongyong who had awakened him:

"Early in the morning, how the hell did you get into my room!?"

In the dream, Little Kitten was rarely cold towards him, and was instead tender and sweet—

If it weren’t for needing Qiao Yongyong to handle things, he would really strangle her this very moment!

To think she would wake him from such a rare beautiful dream!!!

Qiao Yongyong laughed so hard her stomach hurt: "Why so fierce? Were you having a spring dream that I interrupted?"

Huo Zhenyang’s face turned awkward, he straightened his collar, walked towards the bathroom while dropping a few cold words: "Speak quickly if you have something."

Qiao Yongyong hurried: "I’ve been at Yunling for a few days now, staying in Disheng every day without leaving the gateway, and haven’t started serious work yet, let me go out to have some fun! Look at me, I’m almost growing mold! The weather is so nice today, I just want to go shopping for half a day, the bodyguards will follow, it won’t be a problem!"

"Don’t talk about growing molds, even algae would have to stay in the villa. Haven’t I said it before? Just to be safe, while you’re in Yunling, you will stay in Disheng every day and not go out! I don’t want to repeat myself."

The sound had just ended when the bathroom door slammed shut, coldly and mercilessly.

Qiao Yongyong stamped her feet, spat towards the door, and left the bedroom returning to her own room.

Huo Zhenyang finished washing up, walked out of the bathroom, changed his clothes.

There was a gentle knock on the bedroom door, George walked in: "Boss."
