Chapter 587: Heart As Lofty As The Sky
Song Yaoyao pursed her lips, lowered her head, and took a sip.
“I think it’s fine.”
“You already ate some last night.”
“Yes, that was last night!” Song Yaoyao quibbled.
Her cheeks were puffy. Huo Yunque poked them with his fingers like a rubber ball, and they deflated.
“No whining.”
“I’m not—” Song Yaoyao whimpered, her voice getting softer and softer.
Her pinky gently hooked his finger and shook it. A pair of butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, but she pretended to be innocent.
“I’ll give you half a piece after dinner.”
“Huh? Only half a piece?” Song Yaoyao was dissatisfied.
Huo Yunque gave her a half-smile and pointed at the tip of her nose. “Song Yaoyao, don’t push your luck, okay? There’s an outsider watching beside you, aren’t you ashamed?”
“Ahem…”
Song Yaoyao rubbed her nose and crawled into Huo Yunque’s arms. “I forgot!”
Dai Shiqing was so angry that she wanted to curse. How insignificant was she?
After lunch, the Huo Family’s relatives got ready to leave.
Gu Fenlan held Huo Tian’s hand and said with a smile, “Uncle, we’ll be leaving first. We’ll be in touch on the phone. Take care of yourself.”
“Goodbye, Grandfather!”
“Brother, we’re leaving.”
Grandfather Huo waved his hand. “Be careful on the road.”
Dai Shiqing looked at Huo Yunque standing behind Grandfather Huo in a daze. His eyes were calm and distant, reflecting the world.
They were brighter than the sun, but also colder than the moonlight.
It was as if anyone who approached him would be burned in the end.
“Let’s go, what are you looking at?”Gu Fenlan frowned and pulled her with all her might.
Dai Shiqing came back to her senses with a strong sense of unwillingness in her eyes.
She felt that Song Yaoyao was just a little lucky. How did she get Huo Yunque when she acted like a child every day?
“Miss Dai, bye bye!”
While she was reluctant to leave, a petite figure poked her head out from behind the man and waved at her with a smile.
Her expression was harmless, but her smile was sweet and soft.
Dai Shiqing looked over and saw a deep malice in her eyes.
Her heart rose and fell as she gritted her teeth and turned around to get into her car.
The car was queued up and it gradually disappeared along the spacious road.
In the car, Gu Fenlan exhaled and said coldly, “You don’t need to go to work in the future. Thi nk of it as us owing you. We’re really afraid of you.”
Dai Shiqing pursed her lips. “Is Auntie still angry? I’ll resign. I won’t cause trouble for you and uncle.”
“Mom! What are you doing!” Huo Tian was stunned. “Sister Qingqing’s outstanding work ability is obvious to everyone. Why should she resign? It’s not fair!”
“Shut up!”
Gu Fenlan glared at her, “Don’t blame Auntie for being cowardly. It’s important to know one’s own limits. Your Uncle doesn’t have much ability. Shoucheng is alright, but he wouldn’t be able to win in a fight. We’re both old and only have Tiantian as a daughter. What’s the point of having so much property? The things left for her now are enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Qingqing, I also advise you to be more open-minded. There are many outstanding boys pursuing you. There’s no need for you to…”
“Auntie, I understand.”
Dai Shiqing interrupted her with a gentle smile.
It was as if she had accepted it humbly. However, as someone who had watched her grow up, how could Gu Fenlan not know her niece’s ambition?
Her heart was as lofty as the sky…
Unfortunately, her life was as thin as paper!
“As you wish. That’s all I have to say.”
…
After the New Year, everything started to recover.
Song Yaoyao went to the Wei family for a meal as promised. Song Rui, on the other hand, called her several times to ask her to go back to the Song Manor for a meal.
