âYou have to know that your uncle didnât do anything wrong. He didnât let you down, nor did Yaoyao. You let her go first and you rejected her first.â
In Grandfather Huoâs eyes, Huo Ningxi was like a child with a pathological possessiveness.
He used to have a toy that he didnât like very much. One day, he threw the toy away and didnât feel sorry for it. Until one day, he saw it in someone elseâs hand, the toy that he had thrown away.
He suddenly realized, ah, this toy was so good! It was expensive, beautiful, and interesting. He wanted to get it back.
However, he forgot that he was long past the age where he could throw a tantrum and get everything he wanted.
In the world of adults, there was no humility.
âGrandfather!â
Huo Ningxi chased after him. He knew that it was ungentlemanly of him to do so, but he was unwilling to accept it.
The fear of losing something that he could never touch again made him deeply afraid.
âCan I ask you to let uncleâ¦â
âIâm sorry.â
Grandfather Huo slowly turned his head. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and his expression grew fierce and cold. If he was a kind elder one second ago, then now he was the one who once ruled the Huo Family.
âI canât help you with anything, Ningxi. Although youâre not my biological son, I really treat you as my own grandson. So in my eyes, youâre the same as Yunque. If you really like her and think that you canât let her go, then you can just snatch her away. Even if she has become your uncleâs fiancée, she isnât married yet, is she?â
âEven if she is marriedâ¦â Grandfather Huo laughed cruelly, âas long as you have the ability to snatch her away from your uncle, I wonât blame you. I will even look up to you. But what you are doing now, is like a child who canât get a toy, throwing a tantrum at an elder.
âYouâve grown up. Itâs time for you to mature. Itâs common for things to go wrong in life. Think of this as your first lesson.â
This time, he did not stop and walked towards the greenhouse.
Along the way, memories of the past surfaced in his mind.
Grandfather Huo smiled. It was a genuine smile. His eyes were gentle, as if he had seen his lover.
Huo Ningxi watched his only hope leave, and the light in his eyes slowly extinguished.
What should he do? He couldnât even think of how heâd steal his uncleâs woman. Was his uncle intimidating to this extent?
Huo Yunque and Song Yaoyao didnât notice Huo Ningxi at all. Tang Xinrou looked over casually and saw a lonely figure gradually disappearing in the distance.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, âHuo Ningxi? Where is he going?â
Xu Yue crossed her arms. âI heard that he has already moved out of Huo Manor.â
âReally?â
Tang Xinrou looked at Xu Yue suspiciously. âHow do you know everything?â
Was this person a private detective?
Xu Yue looked at her as if she was an idiot. âIf you can remove some of the things like dressing up from your mind and listen to others, then you can too.â
Tang Xinrou was furious. âXu Yue, are you scolding me?â
âNo, Iâm just stating the facts.â
When the ring was placed on her hand and Huo Yunque held her in his arms, Song Yaoyao still felt everything was a little surreal.
âGege, did you really agree to my proposal?â
She held Huo Yunqueâs hand and looked at the pair of rings with a silly smile.
