Young Master Huo’s Private Treasure: Hubby, Please Forgive Me - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 You Can’t Make Her Happy

“The man back there introduced you as Keke’s fiancé.” Zhou Xiao’s voice trembled. “Coco is too young to be your fiancée… You…you don’t lie to me.”

“So?” Huo Quan raised his eyebrows.

“So? So what…” Zhou Xiao’s mind was blank. She didn’t even know what she was saying. “So let go of Coco. You can’t make her happy.”

“You don’t know that.” Huo Quan half-closed his eyes. He was the only one in the world who could make Keke happy.

Zhou Xiao didn’t notice the change in Huo Quan’s presence. She was still trying to persuade him. “Since you’re with Coco, why are you still entangled with her sister?” This was the first time Zhou Xiao made eye contact with Huo Quan. There was no fear or fluster in her eyes, and there was even a hint of anger. “Who told you that I’m entangled with Coco’s sister?” Huo Quan’s voice was as low as usual.

“Isn’t that what they all said? Coco is a good girl. If you really like her, how could you let her be surrounded by rumors? She’s still young, and she’s already off to a bad start. If you don’t mean it, kindly let her go.”

Before Zhou Xiao could finish speaking, Huo Quan interrupted her and said “What if I told you she hit on me first?”

Zhou Xiao was stunned, but she quickly retorted in a loud voice, “Impossible!” She glared at Huo Quan, “I know Keke well. She’s not that kind of person. It must be you. You lied to her, didn’t you?”

It was as though all the air in the car had evaporated in an instant. Zhou Xiao had immediately realized what she had said after she finished shouting. She actually dared to yell at this terrifying man. She stopped breathing for a second and dared not to look Huo Quan in the eye.

However, she couldn’t surrender. She couldn’t surrender when everything was not over with. Even if she hadn’t figured out a way to face Keke, she would never allow this man to ruin her reputation!

Zhou Xiao took a deep breath. Her hands had become ghastly white because she had clenched her fists too tightly. Just when she was about to cave in, Huo Quan cracked a smile and said, “You’re very good.”

Zhou Xiao did not understand what he meant.

“You can resume your friendship with Keke,” Huo Quan added. Zhou Xiao tipped her head to him immediately and asked, “What do you want to do?” Huo Quan then put on a serious look and said, “Do you believe what those people said yesterday?”

Zhou Xiao shook her head immediately. “I don’t. Maybe… maybe there’s something wrong with Keke’s mother, but Keke is definitely not that kind of person. She won’t be someone else’s mistress, nor will she wreck other people’s relationships,” Zhou Xiao said in a very calm voice. She knew Li Miaoke very well. She had only lost her judgment yesterday because she was overwhelmed by shock.

Huo Quan was truly satisfied with her answer this time. He nodded his head and said in an instant, “I hit on her first.”

Zhou Xiao froze for a second. But in the next second, she suddenly flew into a rage. “I knew it. I knew you were pulling the string. Coco isn’t the kind of person who would break other’s family!”

“Yes, Keke is very nice.” Huo Quan nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xiao found it hard to explain but whenever the man mentioned Keke, her eyes were gentle and agreeable, not terrifying at all. Zhou Xiao couldn’t help but ask, “I guess you like Keke very much?” She regretted her asking this question once she finished asking. However, there was nothing she could do about it. She had already asked the question, and she couldn’t unask for sure. To her surprise, the man with an icy look actually answered her, “Yes I do. she is the love of my life.”

At that moment, Zhou Xiao suddenly believed that he liked Keke very much. After a pause, she asked, “Then why did you want to talk to me?” Although Zhou Xiao was a bit innocent, she wasn’t stupid.

“I told you, Keke likes you very much and values your friendship.” Huo Quan’s voice suddenly sank when he said this, “I don’t want to see my baby unhappy.”

Zhou Xiao was still a little confused. “Sorry, what?”

“I hope you don’t disappoint Keke.”

Zhou Xiao did not know if it was all in her mind, but she felt that Huo Quan was not making a request or a statement, but a warning. He was warning her not to hurt Keke and not to cross the line.

Even when she had returned to the classroom and seated herself, she was still hanging on what Huo Quan said. Then she could not help but said to herself, “That man is really protective of Keke.”
