The meaning of this is very clear, the key to the marriage lies in Murong Qiao.

"That's right, young people have their own ideas." Huo Hongpi smiled.

At this time, the butler was holding several glasses of drinks, and slowly put them in front of Murong Qiao, letting him choose from his heart.

But Murong Qiao didn't even look at it, "I'm hungry."

She made another request, which aroused Huo Hong's impatience.

Could it be that she thought this was her home? Get what you want, without the slightest awareness of the guests?

Huo Hong never expected that Murong Qiao, whom he had met a few times before and thought he was pretty good, would have such an image after actual contact that he couldn't accept.

But he didn't know Murong Qiao well, so he naturally didn't know that the other side was pretending to make things difficult for him. He just thought she was very troublesome and asked one after another.

"If you don't dislike it, why don't I ask the kitchen to prepare lunch earlier." Huo Hong softened his expression, and there was no trace of anger on his face.

They are all old foxes, and their eyes are cleaner than anyone else's when they smile.

When he was talking to Murong Qiao, his eyes would pass over Murong Chen from time to time, seeing that the other party turned a blind eye to Murong Qiao's pampering, and even had a hint of pampering, and he was a little confused about the two people's thoughts.

But when he thought that this meeting was the time that Murong's family took the initiative to make an appointment, Huo Hong thought that maybe this was a test for Huo's family, after all, Murong Chen was famous for doting on his younger sister.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome to eat. I'm losing weight recently." Murong Qiao rubbed his stomach, "I want to eat the pastry from the South Street in Shili, fresh from the oven."

When he heard the previous sentence, Huo Hong thought that Murong Qiao had finally become more sensible and didn't plan to make any more nonsensical requests, but when he heard that Murong Qiao turned his head and wanted to order cakes, his face turned black for a moment.

This scene of changing the subject fell into the eyes of the housekeeper who had been secretly watching, and he couldn't help but let a smile show in his eyes.

When we met before, Murong Qiao's polite and smiling appearance was very attractive, but now he looks like a different person in front of Huo Hong, and the butler is much happier seeing Huo Hong holding back his anger.

"Miss Murong—" At this moment, even the housekeeper standing next to him pretended to be a little bit embarrassed.

The butler stepped forward and was about to say something when Huo Hongqiang stopped him with a smile and raised his hand.

If it wasn't for the marriage contract...

Huo Hongpi waved his hands with a half smile, "You go and arrange for someone to buy it."

He ordered the housekeeper, his heart was full of anger, his eyes fixed on Murong Qiao, he simply didn't intend to blindly coax Murong Qiao, and instead opened his mouth to talk about the business.

"We should never be hasty in discussing marriage. If there is any request, we can discuss it." Huo Hongfu mentioned this matter.

He pretended to be generous, looked at Murong Qiao, and acted like a good elder, as if he meant to support their marriage.

But Murong Qiao didn't rush, took a sip of the juice that the housekeeper had just brought, and said leisurely.

"But I think it's too early for us to get married now." She said with hesitation.

Murong Qiao even said in an orderly manner, "I haven't thought about getting married so early..."

She narrowed her eyes and lowered her eyes, and added after a general pause, seeming a little nervous.

Hearing that Murong Qiao didn't want to get married, Huo Hong's heart skipped a beat immediately and he planned to calm down. Everyone has come to Huo's house, so he must let the two of them settle down on this marriage.

"Could it be that you're still in a cold war?" Huo Hong pretended to be someone from the past, and picked the topic lightly. "Actually, it's normal to have some emotional conflicts. It's fine for the two of you to talk about it."

He thought that Murong Qiao was sulking at Huo Yichen, so he deliberately said that.

After all, just now Murong Qiao complained that Huo Yichen hadn't replied to her messages for the past two days. Regarding this, Huo Hong, who had put Huo Yichen under house arrest, felt a little annoyed.

"It's not like that," Murong Qiao shook his head.

She looked up at Huo Hong, and said timidly, "Can I call you Uncle Huo?"

"Of course." Huo Hong wished that this title would be more familiar, and listened to her with a smile.

Even Huo Xiuyuan's jaw dropped when he saw this appearance, because Huo Hong had never shown such kindness except for his own son Huo Tan, and he could be called a good elder.

"Uncle Huo," Murong Qiao put his hands on his lap, pretending to consider his posture. "I actually think Huo Yichen's character is a bit dull, like a piece of wood."

"Actually, it's good to be boyfriend and girlfriend now, but the pace is too fast, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

"Friction is naturally a common thing, but in the current situation, I always feel that marriage is still far away from us..."

Murong Chen was sitting on the side, watching his sister calmly, talking to Huo Hong seriously.

Every point of the analysis is well-organized, logical, and even very reasonable.

Moreover, Huo Hong didn't refute many points, as if it was true.

The corners of Murong Chen's mouth curled up imperceptibly, secretly thinking in his heart.

I don't know when he became so eloquent.

It's okay, even such a younger sister is still cute.

The three people sitting in the front hall had different thoughts. Murong Qiao was more serious about expressing his views to Huo Hong than writing a thesis. Chen's mind is wandering, his mind is full of his own sister.

Here, Murong Qiao and Huo Hong were wrangling and chatting, and the housekeeper who had been dispatched to send someone to buy pastries started to act directly.

After Murong Qiao's arrival, the vast majority of the Huo family took action to satisfy Murong Qiao's request, and the whole family followed suit.

After the butler complied with the request, he superficially left from the main entrance, then walked to a blind spot that Huo Hong couldn't see, turned around and came back from the side door with ease, and followed the shortest route to the study.

The housekeeper stepped on silently, walked around the guards patrolling the corridor and came directly to the door of the study.

Seeing someone coming, the guard at the door of the study stretched out his hand to intercept him without even thinking about it.

"It is forbidden to enter the study today." The guard reminded coldly.

The housekeeper stood still and said calmly, "The head of the house sent me to pick up the documents."

Upon hearing the voice, the guard reacted a little slower, only then did he realize that the person who came was the butler.

"Sorry." The guard quickly apologized and got out of the way, "I just subconsciously—"

"Nothing," said the butler with a businesslike look, "Is there anything unusual?"

The guard quickly shook his head, "They're all staring, no one else is here except you."

"Okay, I see, watch carefully." The housekeeper instructed again carefully.

He didn't show the slightest sign of anxiety, and after confirming it as usual, he entered the study.

The guard didn't suspect the slightest bit, the identity of the butler was there, and he was not in a hurry at all, no one would have guessed that the butler was going to help people escape.

The butler pushed open the door and entered the study, went straight to the subject and walked to the desk where Huo Hong often sat, fumbling for the switch under the desk.

There is a hidden safe here. Huo Hong always likes to store things here. Only Huo Hong himself and the butler's fingerprints can unlock it.

"drop--"

An imperceptible beep indicates that the safe has been unlocked.

The butler opened the door of the safe, and sure enough, he saw Huo Yichen's ID and bank card inside.

He took out the file folder that he had prepared earlier, and then put all the documents and other things in it to hide. He also cleaned up all traces of himself with great care, and went out after confirming that it was correct.
