Chapter 734: I’ll Always Stand In Front of You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Huo Yichen finished dealing with the matter and drove home with Murong Qiao, it was almost evening.

Murong Qiao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was a little sleepy because of the excessively stable and safe speed. She leaned her head against the back of the chair and slowly fell asleep.

The soundproofing in the car was really good. Even when they were waiting for the traffic lights, they could not hear the angry horns of the chauffeurs outside. Coupled with the fact that the temperature was just right, Murong Qiao could not help but feel sleepy.

However, the car had to reach the finish line in the end. The two of them had previously discussed that they would go to the supermarket downstairs to buy groceries. Therefore, when the car arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, Huo Yichen was hesitating if he should wake her up when he saw Murong Qiao open her eyes.

“Oh… I fell asleep?” Murong Qiao rubbed her eyes in confusion and looked out of the car window.

Huo Yichen sat in the driver’s seat and did not alight first. Seeing that the person beside had woken up for a while, he found a coat from the back seat and placed it on her.

Only Murong Qiao would take his car. Due to the fact that the two of them had caught a cold from going to the river after a birthday banquet, Huo Yichen began to carry a few jackets in the car for Murong Qiao.

On the other hand, he was fine. His warm and dry palm even became Murong Qiao’s heat pack.

“I originally thought that I should go in and buy it myself.” Huo Yichen’s expression didn’t change. “If you’re tired, stay here. I’ll go myself. It won’t take long.”

Although Ye Zhen had personally bought the ingredients for dinner and sent them home, it was rare for the two of them to come out today, and Huo Yichen did not want to dampen the other party’s mood.

However, Murong Qiao was completely awake now. “It’s fine. Let’s go.”

It was not easy for her to come out. Moreover, she had to go to the award ceremony with the artistes tomorrow. No matter what, Murong Qiao did not want Huo Yichen to go alone.

Seeing that Murong Qiao insisted, Huo Yichen could not say anything else. He only paid extra attention to the other party. After getting out of the car and locking it, he pulled Murong Qiao into the supermarket.

Although it was called a supermarket, it was actually a small shopping mall with two floors. After entering, Huo Yichen went to get a shopping cart and pulled Murong Qiao to the vegetable and meat area to get what they needed.

It was night time now, and it was the peak period for the supermarket to be lively. As soon as she entered, she encountered many people choosing to buy.

The two of them had the personality of doing whatever they wanted, so they bought whatever they saw when they shopped in the supermarket.

After all, he was in charge of dinner at home. Huo Yichen clearly had more goals than Murong Qiao. When he saw the corresponding food, he took one or two portions and placed them in the shopping cart. Then, he led her to other areas.

The dazzling array of items on the shelves attracted Murong Qiao’s gaze. Her gaze landed on the beautifully wrapped strawberries. Before she could look for a second or two, she saw a pair of slender and beautiful hands placing them into the shopping cart beside her.

“What else do you want to eat?” Huo Yichen tilted his head and asked.

He was the one who had been busy choosing things, but when Murong Qiao looked at the box of strawberries, he still noticed it immediately.

Murong Qiao couldn’t help but smile. “Have you been looking at me?”

After saying that, she did not wait for Huo Yichen’s answer. When she saw the shopping cart beside her, she suddenly felt playful and wanted to lean on him eagerly.

However, before she could regain composure from her playfulness, they were interrupted by an argument not far away.

Murong Qiao looked in the direction of the argument and saw a couple who seemed to be arguing around the shopping cart. Then, they looked around and could not help but say something.

“It’s all your fault. I asked you to stay here and watch carefully just now. Why is our child gone now?” The wife’s complaining tone vented her dissatisfaction on the husband in front of her.

Her husband pursed his lips, clearly contrite. “This is not the time to talk about this.”

“I was only gone for a while. I had only asked you to watch our child for a while…” His wife was clearly a little anxious.

The husband pulled his wife’s arm and coaxed her. “I’ll go to the service counter of the mall first and ask them if they could check the surveillance cameras.”

“But what if she’s already kidnapped by human traffickers—” His wife was so angry that her voice was filled with tears.

The two of them were not talking loudly at first, but when Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were close, they could hear the conversation clearly.

Losing a child was not a small matter.

Murong Qiao watched for a while. Just as she was about to ask if she should help look for her, she turned around and saw a little kid standing behind her and Huo Yichen.

It was a very delicate little boy holding a very cool mecha toy.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at the little boy, then at the couple arguing a few steps away. After confirming that their faces were somewhat similar, she took the initiative to wave at the little boy.

Perhaps the little boy saw that Murong Qiao was beautiful, so he walked to her side without any vigilance.

“Pretty Sister, are you calling me?” He was quite good at talking.

Murong Qiao pointed at the couple who were still arguing. “Your parents seem to be looking for you.”

“Ah! I forgot!” The little boy exclaimed and ran to the two arguing people.

Before their argument could come to an end, the little boy’s arrival ended this predicament.

“Mom, Dad, what are you arguing about?” the child asked innocently, not knowing how much trouble he had caused his parents when he disappeared.

He even waved the mecha toy in his hand. “Mother, can you buy me this?”

“Little brat! Where did you go!” His father reprimanded him.

The originally anxious wife was about to say that she would split up with her husband to look for the child. Now that she saw the child appear in front of her, she could not even be bothered to be angry. She hugged the child and spoke for a long time before feeling relieved.

“Buy, buy, buy. All you think about is buying toys?”

The originally tense atmosphere disappeared because of the little boy’s appearance.

Murong Qiao stood not far away and looked at the family of three that had returned to harmony. A strange feeling immediately surfaced in her heart.

“Do you think we’ll be like this in the future?” Murong Qiao asked.

Huo Yichen looked at the three of them. “It’s not impossible if you want to have little boys, but I still prefer girls.”

He clearly knew that Murong Qiao was not asking about this, but he still answered this way deliberately.

Murong Qiao blushed at his words, then glared at him angrily.

That was clearly not what she meant just now.

However, Huo Yichen’s answer made Murong Qiao’s curiosity instantly disappear in amusement. She had no intention of saying it again and turned to leave.

“But if you’re still curious, you can be assured that 1’11 definitely protect you and our child in the future.”

Just as Murong Qiao was thinking of walking around other places, Huo Yichen’s words suddenly sounded behind her.

No matter what dangers and predicaments there were, at least if he was around, he would always stand in front of her..
