Chapter 1054: My Little Lady Is Hard To Please

Translator: Yunyi

Regarding Song Yaoyao’s appearance in variety shows, not everyone was in favor. After all, no matter what topic it was, there would always be people who opposed it.

Those people all thought that Song Yaoyao was doing this to increase her fame, that she had drifted from her original beliefs, that she had been mesmerized by the showiness of the entertainment industry, and that she was no longer down-to-earth.

Dazzling You had a taste of the good life and tried to invite Song Yaoyao to be a permanent guest. They even offered her a sky-high price.

But this time, Song Yaoyao’s side rejected them outright.

Xu Yue, on the other hand, didn’t deny all possibilities. She only said, “Miss Song has to prepare for her final exams so she doesn’t have the time to participate in the program. But she said that if the program still needs her after she finishes her exams, she can be a special guest without any remuneration.”

Although the producer of Dazzling You was very regretful, he was still very happy to hear Xu Yue’s response. He repeatedly expressed that they were willing to wait no matter how long it took.

Of course, Song Yaoyao didn’t know about this because she was about to take her exams…

More than a month; over 40 days. It was faster than one thought.

Before long Song Yaoyao had already taken a month off, and the production of The Boyfriend Next Door had also reached its end.

Meanwhile, Dazzling You became the most popular talent show in the country, and many of the girls stood out from the one hundred trainees and became goddesses that were sought after.

Among them, Zhongli Xue was the most popular.

…

In the greenhouse, Song Yaoyao, who was wearing pink loungewear, was squatting on the ground. She held a small shovel in her hand, and her snow-white hands were stained with soil as she carefully tended to the plants.

The temperature was comfortable, and the bright sun outside did not affect her at all.

Footsteps came from behind.

Song Yaoyao turned around in surprise and said in a light voice, “Gege, look at what I planted…”

Before she could finish her words, she saw an unfamiliar face.

Song Yaoyao swallowed the rest of her words, and the bright smile on her face gradually faded.

Before she could ask, the man had already spoken before her.

“You are… Huo Yunque’s sister?”

The man’s voice was very deep, befitting the vibe that he gave off. His facial features were sunken, with some traces of foreign blood. He fixed his gaze on Song Yaoyao. The light in his eyes was dark, and his sense of aggression was very strong. Song Yaoyao did not like that kind of gaze.

She lifted her sharp chin, her eyes arrogant.

“No, I’m his wife!”

“Oh?”

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I heard that Huo Yunque found a fiancée who is almost ten years younger than him. Could it be you?”

“It’s nine,” Song Yaoyao interrupted him impatiently. She did not like this man, and she did not like the contempt in his voice whenever he mentioned Huo Yunque.

It only made her want to hit him.

“Is there a difference?”

“Are you no good at maths?”

Song Yaoyao threw down the shovel and stood up, patting the soil on her hands, “One year is 365 days. Ten years compared to nine years, that’s a whole lot less days. Sir, you look smart, but I suggest you keep your mouth shut.”

“What?” The man’s dark eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Song Yaoyao said lazily, “It’s easy to expose your IQ.”

“Song Yaoyao, don’t be rude to our guest.”

A familiar voice came from the side. Song Yaoyao pouted and rushed towards Huo Yunque, “I’m not! I’m just making a suggestion!”

She whimpered and acted coquettishly.

Huo Yunque chuckled and patted her head with his big palm. It looked like he was blaming her, but in fact, he did not use any strength to hit her head. Instead, he was extremely gentle.

“You’re being cheeky.”

ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ꜰʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴ(ᴏ)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄoᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ.

“Meh…”

Song Yaoyao made a face at him.

Huo Yunque could not help but laugh. He gently nodded at the man and said, “Mr. Zhongli, don’t mind her. I’ve spoiled this little kid.”

He said it lightly, not mentioning anything about making Song Yaoyao apologize.

Song Yaoyao didn’t want to stay with this guy. His gaze made her feel uncomfortable.

“Your hands are so dirty. What did you do?”

Song Yaoyao pouted. “Plant flowers.”

“This must be Miss Song, right? Hello, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

The man reached out his hand gracefully. Song Yaoyao glanced at him and leisurely touched his fingertip.

The girl’s small hand was warm and soft, and it had a bit of wet soil on it. She was like a small flower bud that came out of the soil in spring.

“I was dazzled by the beauty of the greenhouse just now and accidentally disturbed Miss Song. Please forgive me. Oh, by the way, I didn’t have time to introduce myself. Hello, Miss Song, I’m Zhongli.”

Huo Yunque took out a handkerchief and wiped the soil off Song Yaoyao’s fingertips.

After more than a month, she had heard this special surname again.

Recently, the surname Zhongli had become very popular.

Zhongli Xue, who debuted via Dazzling You was very popular among her circle of friends.

Suddenly seeing Zhongli’s everywhere, Song Yaoyao was curious. “Is your name Zhong Li, or is your surname Zhongli?”

“It’s both my name and my surname.”

Zhongli answered.

Song Yaoyao muttered in her heart, ‘what a weird person’, but she respected everything.

She shrugged nonchalantly, grabbed Huo Yunque’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek. “Gege, you guys talk. I’m going back first. I’m tired!”

Huo Yunque patted her back helplessly. “Walk properly, don’t jump, and don’t have cold drinks when you go back. Do you hear me?”

Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes at him and walked out, swaying her arms by her sides.

She mumbled, “I can’t do this, and I can’t do that. You’re such a bossy pants!”

Zhongli raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl’s petite back.

When she walked, it was so light that it was as if her feet were stepping on clouds. Her fluffy hair fluttered as she walked, and a strand on the top of her head bounced up and down, looking extremely cute.

“Mr. Zhongli, would you like some tea or…?”

Huo Yunque’s expression became calm as soon as Song Yaoyao left. His face was clear, and his temperament was gentle as if he was harmless.

Zhongli looked away. “I’ll have whatever you want to serve me.”

The two of them walked to the tea room and sat down. There were two futons on either side of the room.

Zhongli took off his coat, knelt on the futon, and accepted the hot tea that Huo Yunque handed him.

There was a moment of silence in the greenhouse. All that could be heard were the sound of birds chirping outside.

After a long time…

Zhongli was the first to speak. “Mr. Huo, have you considered my suggestion?”

“Huh?”

Huo Yunque smiled faintly. “You mean…”

“You and my sister.”

“Ha…”

As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, he heard Huo Yunque laugh in a low voice, which was different from before. There were faint ripples in his lead-gray eyes as if light was dancing across them.

Those who did not know would think that Huo Yunque’s gentleness was for his sister.

But Zhongli knew that it was not.

“You’d better not let my little lady hear this.” Huo Yunque sipped his tea with a smile. “She looks obedient, but if she really makes a scene, it will be very difficult to coax her. Mr. Zhongli, it’s better if you don’t joke around so that I won’t be in a difficult position.”
