Chapter 55: CH 55

Hey Guys! Sorry for the delay on the remaining chapters. My laptop broke half a month ago and has still not been repaired. I came across a shocking truth that the repair cost is more than my Laptop’s cost. So I didn’t repair it. TBH, hmm…..I don’t have money. sigh… I asked my neighbor and they were kind enough to let me use it once a week. So the updates will come once a week. and about that new novel, I’m dropping that idea for now. Thank you for your patience.

After a few glasses of wine, Su Meng finally understood the “context” of the matter.

“So the two of you have been married since childhood, and both parents have sworn to each other, if you don’t get married, they …… will not be at peace after death?

Although after listening to the story, Su Meng still finds it difficult to accept.

“Yeah!” Bai Zhenzhen looked sad, “Sister Meng, think about it, my stepmother and stepsister, although they are not good people, still pretend to be good people! Why did they suddenly poison my father to death?! I am afraid the reason for this is the fulfillment of the vow!”

“You mean, Uncle Bai’s death is related to that oath…?” Su Meng nervously gripped the wine glass tightly. Read it from novelupdates, stop stealing my translations.

Bai Zhenzhen nodded: “Yes! It’s just like that curse that just happened and can’t be explained!”

Huo Xiang also said from the side: “So when my mother heard the news of Uncle Bai’s death, she was afraid that there would be a change in the marriage, so she asked me to come here quickly and marry Zhenzhen!”

Su Meng saw that the two of them were so determined, and it was hard to question them any longer, so she could only lament, and said with emotion: “It’s a happy event, why did the atmosphere suddenly become sad?!”

“Can’t help it, this is life!” Bai Zhenzhen also pretended to be sorry, “But the dead ones are gone, the main thing is to cherish the present! We can’t let innocent people die in vain again!”

“Yes, yes.”

“But you don’t love each other, and is it okay to get married for a so-called ‘cursed’ vow?” Su Meng asked again.

“Who said we don’t love each other?!” Bai Zhenzhen and Huo Xiang said in unison.

Su Meng was taken aback.

Then she quickly raised her glass and drank the wine in one go.

“Brother Xiang and I were childhood sweethearts, and we have been in love since very early…” Bai Zhenzhen cast a wink at Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang also returned a loving look very tacitly and said softly: “Just because we live in two different places, we are like The Cowherd and Weaver Girl (1). It was difficult to see each other, and we could only think about it in secret.”Read it from novelupdates, stop stealing my translations.

(“The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl” are characters found in Chinese mythology and are characters appearing in a romantic Chinese folk tale.)

“When I was young, I wished that I would grow up quickly and marry my Brother Xiang sooner…”

“Damn! Leng Haochen is too much! Love affairs are originally matters of mutual consent, and he dares to monitor?! Zhenzhen, why don’t we call the police?” Su Meng shouted.

“That’s not the case. Leng Haochen didn’t do anything to hurt me. I said he followed me, but I have no evidence!” Bai Zhenzhen replied, “So, I want you to come to the hotel early tomorrow morning, and help me and Ho Xiang. Otherwise, if they follow us to the Civil Affairs Bureau, they will immediately report to Leng Haochen, and Leng Haochen will try every means to prevent Huo Xiang and me from obtaining the certificate.”

Su Meng understood what Bai Zhenzhen meant. She asked, “Do you want me to help you distract the bodyguards?”Read it from novelupdates, stop stealing my translations.

Early the next morning, Su Meng arrived at the hotel.

When she entered the elevator from the garage, she saw two bodyguards in black guarding there.

According to Bai Zhenzhen’s arrangement, she specially greeted the two bodyguards, saying that she was going upstairs to pick up Bai Zhenzhen to play and that she was Leng Haochen’s friend, so she reminded them to follow closely.

“Ding dong—”

The doorbell of Bai Zhenzhen’s room rang, and the door was then opened.

Su Meng raised her head and waved in greeting: “Morning—”

She swallowed the word “good” into her throat.

What kind of view is this in front of you? This… man wearing a pink dress and lavender eye shadow, is not that cousin’s nephew, right?

“What do you think, isn’t it captivating?” Huo Xiang winked at Su Meng.

Fortunately, Su Meng came in a hurry and didn’t have breakfast.

“It’s said that when people are in happy spirits. They become mentally ill.” Su Meng said.

Huo Xiang: “…you didn’t say that when you saw me like this last time.”

“Last time?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Huo Xiang shrugged resentfully, and made an inviting gesture, “Please come in, Boss Su!”

Su Meng walked towards the room while muttering, “Don’t tell me, the scene just now seemed Deja vu, as if I had dreamed about it…”

Bai Zhenzhen greeted her and said to Su Meng: “Sister Meng, everything is ready, you take Xiang Xiang towards the garage, remember, be natural!”

Su Meng didn’t understand, so she asked, “What do you mean? Let me take him away?”

As soon as he saw Huo Xiang, Leng Haochen immediately recognized that this was the man who “harassed” him yesterday, and was also the shield Bai Zhenzhen used to reject him.

Leng Haochen’s eyes were red, and he shouted: “Bai Zhenzhen, are you crazy?! Did you keep him overnight?”

Before Bai Zhenzhen came back to her senses, Huo Xiang had already pulled her behind him.

Song Ling sneered, and said to Leng Haochen: “How about it, Haochen? I didn’t lie to you, did I?”

Leng Haochen’s eyes almost burst into flames.

“It’s fine if you stay overnight; you play this kind of…” Leng Haochen hesitated to speak, with grief and resentment on his face.

Bai Zhenzhen: ?

Huo Xiang almost burst out laughing.

“You want to laugh! Leng Haochen is too powerful to be messed with. The key is in his hand now. I did have a lot of ‘good past’ with him, and he will not be willing to give up!!” Bai Zhenzhen lowered her voice and spat.

Huo Xiang held back his laughter, and said, “It seems that we can only use Plan B—the beauty plan!”

Bai Zhenzhen frowned: “Now? It doesn’t seem to be the time! This matter needs to be discussed in the long run!”

But Huo Xiang didn’t allow Bai Zhenzhen to make a long-term plan.

It was too late to say it, he softened his body, puckered his buttocks, and hugged Leng Haochen’s shoulders with his hands.

“Little Chenchen~ don’t be so fierce~ People are doing this because of you~~”

Leng Haochen was petrified.

Song Ling was dumbfounded.

Su Meng was stunned.

Bai Zhenzhen at the side almost staggered and fell to the ground.

–What the hell? This beauty play, is not quite what she thought it would be, huh?

T.N: Huo Xiang is unpredictable.
