Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Young Admiration, Overwhelming Jealousy

A moment later.

Wan Jiang pushed Zhong Yi into the living room, facing the varied expressions of everyone, he forced a sheepish smile.

"Hello everyone," Wan Jiang greeted awkwardly, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

President Huo’s gaze was so dangerous.

Wan Jiang could hardly maintain his smile, though he admired the composure of Young Master Zhong.

Young Master Zhong looked calm and collected, as if he were entering his own home.

His face bore a faint smile, and he smiled even more warmly and kindly at Qiao Xi: "Xixi, I’ve come to freeload a meal. Is that okay?"

Who can speak of freeloading a meal so shamelessly?

Qiao Xi’s smile held a bit of sincerity, "Naturally, you’re welcome. You got discharged so soon, how are your injuries?"

"Not going to die, just very painful. I can only sit in a wheelchair, even getting to the ground is a bit difficult."

He’s playing the sympathy card!

Sun Weimeng and Huo Xingzhou had both realized this.

Inside they cursed, male green tea!

Sun Weimeng nudged Huo Xingzhou with his elbow, signaling him to fire away.

On their turf, they couldn’t let Zhong Yi steal the spotlight.

Huo Xingzhou turned coldly to glance at him, prompting Sun Weimeng to quickly avert his gaze and stop his antics.

"Young Master Zhong."

Huo Xingzhou’s deep voice sounded, "You seem quite busy after your discharge. Off to the airport with a fragrant beauty in your embrace in a parting farewell, then here to the Huo Family for a meal. Where do you plan to rest tonight?"

He had someone watch Zhong Yi’s movements.

And knew he went to see off Ye Ying.

Zhong Yi ground his teeth slightly, his smile even more pronounced: "President Huo pays a lot of attention to me. It was nothing like fragrant beauties, just ordinary friends. Such trivial matters, yet President Huo takes notice, really concerned about me."

Qiao Xi sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, her clear apricot eyes landed on Huo Xingzhou.

Then turned to Zhong Yi, gently asked, "Did you go to send Ye Ying abroad?"

"Yes."

Zhong Yi calmly said, "I gave her a sum of money to send her abroad, considered the matter completely resolved, there will be no further entanglements. I promised her, after Zhong Family’s matters are settled, I would clarify the incident of the engagement party night publicly."

He didn’t want any entanglements with women, except Qiao Xi.

"But I can see...Ye Ying towards you..." Qiao Xi had many interactions with Ye Ying, and could see every time she mentioned Zhong Yi, her eyes held a special vigor.

A very obvious affection.

"It’s impossible for us." Zhong Yi laughed and said, "What I don’t like, I won’t force. This goes for Lu Yingxue, and also for Ye Ying."

Sun Weimeng poured him a glass of water, and placed it loudly in front of him: "Young Master Zhong, have some water. After talking so long, aren’t you thirsty?"

If he kept talking, he’d almost confess.

Zhong Yi elegantly held the cup of tea and took a sip, "Thank you, Young Master Sun."

Sun Weimeng asked on behalf of Huo Xingzhou: "Young Master Zhong, did you specifically come today just to freeload a meal?"

"Yes. All these years eating alone at the Zhong Family, every week’s family dinner was rigidly formal, never had a comfortable meal. Unlike you all, even eating is so warm and at ease. At the Zhong Family, I can’t have preferences in meals, otherwise, the old master would remove those dishes."

Zhong Yi’s tone was very flat, speaking lightly.

But it made Qiao Xi feel a sense of pity.

Even the simplest meal couldn’t be eaten well, and Zhong Yi lived so miserably in the Zhong Family.

Sun Weimeng, however, heard alarm bells ring loudly!

This green tea’s skill at playing the pitiable is really strong, even darkening Huo Xingzhou’s face.

Zhong Yi added, "I haven’t eaten Haicheng cuisine for many years, and haven’t tasted your cooking. All these years, what I thought of is your skill; medicinal food is good, but lacks the daily smoky flavor. I wonder if I can have a chance to taste it, even a bowl of noodles would be nice."

So pitiful!

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but say, "I’ll go to the kitchen and ask Xiaoyun to make some more dishes you like, and I’ll also make you a bowl of vegetable rice cake."

Haicheng’s rice cake is a specialty.

Various fried or boiled rice cake dishes, soft and fragrant.

Zhong Yi’s eyes brightened slightly: "Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?"

"Not at all, I’ll head to the kitchen now."

This small matter, Qiao Xi was happy to do it. Just to ease Zhong Yi’s homesickness.

Once Qiao Xi left.

The atmosphere in the living room completely changed.

Tense.

Like a tightly stretched string.

Zhong Yi no longer had that pitiful look, his hands relaxedly placed on the wheelchair, appearing casual and unrestrained.

Huo Xingzhou held a teacup with his fingers, lightly sipping, looking at Zhong Yi with indifference.

Zhong Yi, unwilling to back down, met his gaze, and even asked.

"Have you ever eaten Qiao Xi’s vegetable rice cake soup?"

No.

Huo Xingzhou hadn’t eaten it.

He had eaten Qiao Xi’s medicinal food, small wontons and the like. But he never had any vegetable rice cake, had Zhong Yi not mentioned it, he wouldn’t have known Qiao Xi excelled at making this.

Zhong Yi added fuel to the fire: "Maybe it’s because it’s too simple and common, so it never graces the Huo Family’s dining table. So it seems tonight’s vegetable rice cake soup will be mine alone to enjoy."

Sun Weimeng swallowed his saliva upon hearing this, asking for trouble, isn’t he?

He instinctively grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, lightly biting one.

Crack, a light sound.

Yet particularly attention-grabbing.

Huo Xingzhou looked at Zhong Yi, suddenly sneered coldly, "Tonight you should have more, or you won’t have many more chances in the future."

"I will, and I’ll visit more often to be a bother."

"If you truly care for Qiao Xi, don’t disturb her in pregnancy."

Zhong Yi smiled perfunctorily, pregnancy?

Another jab to his heart!

Flaunting that he and Qiao Xi have a child?

He shamelessly declared, "With my relationship with Xixi, her child is mine too. I will visit often to see the child. Once born, I will ask Xixi to let me be the godfather. Surely, she will agree."

Sun Weimeng pressed his lips, unable to help but say, "Young Master Zhong, you really are...unbelievable!"

Never seen someone so shameless!

Who dares to put it all out there, wins!

Zhong Yi, always one step behind, yet by being shameless, managed to hold his own against Huo Xingzhou.

Sun Weimeng grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, placing them in front of Zhong Yi, "Young Master Zhong, want some seeds? These are sunflower seeds grown by Qiao Xi herself in the little garden. They were previously collected, recently roasted, just perfect for winter snacks."

Zhong Yi originally wanted to refuse, but hearing they were grown by Qiao Xi herself.

He accepted them, and along with Sun Weimeng, cracked sunflower seeds.

The two of them cracking one after another.

The shells piled up more and more.

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze grew sharper, yet he remained silent.

Until noises came from the kitchen, Xiaoyun bringing dishes to the dining room.

Qiao Xi finally finished cooking a big bowl of vegetable rice cake soup, calling out, "Dinner’s ready, let’s all come sit down."

Sun Weimeng put down the shells and ran over immediately.

Zhong Yi sat in the wheelchair, lowering his voice, "Wan Jiang, you know where I want to sit."

Wan Jiang looked utterly crestfallen.

Isn’t this over yet?

Young Master Zhong today won’t rest until President Huo kicks him out, it seems.
