Chapter 25 It’s Not Good to Be Jealous
“Song Shu, what did that man mean?” Jiang Yi was completely dumbfounded. That man said that he was Li Miaoke’s husband? Li Miaoke was still in school, so how could she have a husband? And that man seemed to be a socialite, right? He seemed to be older than Li Miaoke as well…
Song Shu furrowed his brows slightly. Looking at the luxurious car that was leaving, he shook his head. “I don’t know.”
With a bang, Huo Quan slammed the car door shut. Li Miaoke hid herself in a corner while trying her best to minimize her presence.
“Why? Don’t you have something you want to tell me?” Huo Quan’s gaze was fixed on Li Miaoke without any tenderness or mirth. Li Miaoke trembled. “Brother…. Brother Huo, why are you so angry? I didn’t do anything, did I? Besides…. being angry can accelerate one’s aging.”
Huo Quan didn’t get angry. Instead, he laughed. “So you think I’m old?”
Li Miaoke quickly shook her head. “No, no, no, I’m just worried about you.” “You like young boys? You like that stupid kid who just walked with you?” Huo Quan’s sudden question confused Li Miaoke. “What? Who do you think I like?”
“Song Shu, the one who came out with you at the school gate.” Huo Quan’s voice was cold. “If you don’t like that stupid kid, will you forget that I came to pick you up from school? And why were you smiling at him so brightly?”
Li Miaoke stared at him blankly.
“Speak!” Huo Quan said.
“Hahahaha!” Li Miaoke slapped her leg in amusement after regaining her senses. This was the first time she felt that Huo Quan was so childish. Just because they came out together, it meant she liked him?! He said she was smiling brightly? She was obviously smiling awkwardly, okay?! When he saw how insolent Li Miaoke was, Huo Quan’s expression turned even colder. “Are you done smiling?” The air pressure in the car was extremely low, and the man was clearly on the verge of exploding in anger.
Li Miaoke shifted her body to lie in Huo Quan’s arms. She raised her fair face to look at him. “Brother Huo, are you jealous?” There was a smile on her lips, and even her beautiful eyes were full of mirth.
For no reason, half of the anger in Huo Quan’s heart disappeared, but he still snorted coldly and turned his head to the side without saying a word.
“Are you still feeling jealous?”
Before Li Miaoke could finish her teasing, Huo Quan suddenly turned to look at her. “What? I can’t be jealous? You’re my wife. As your husband, I don’t even have the right to be jealous?”
Li Miaoke’s little face instantly turned red. “Don’t talk nonsense. Your words will cause people to misunderstand!”
“Oh really? Who will misunderstand?” Huo Quan’s voice became even deeper.
Wei Ling quietly put down the partition. Li Miaoke saw the partition being put down, and some bad images rushed into her mind. She looked at Huo Quan suspiciously. “No, no one will misunderstand. Are we going home now?” She tried to change the topic.
“If not, where are we going?” Huo Quan lowered his voice. “Miaoke, don’t you have anything to say to me?” Li Miaoke felt that if she dared to say no, this man would definitely be very angry! Therefore, even though she didn’t know what she should say, she still managed to squeeze out a few words. “I, I don’t think it’s good to be jealous.”
Huo Quan’s expression instantly turned ugly. “So, this is what you want to say to me?”
Li Miaoke wanted to nod and say yes, but Huo Quan’s expression and voice didn’t seem right, she immediately shook her head. “Of course not. I just think that there’s no need for you to be jealous. I have nothing to do with Song Shu. We’re just ordinary classmates. I don’t like him at all.”
“Then who do you like?” Huo Quan pressed.
Li Miaoke thought for a moment and shook her head. “I don’t like anyone yet. But don’t worry, if I ever find someone I like, I’ll definitely tell you….” Whether she should say it or not, Li Miaoke forgot about her relationship with Huo Quan. Once again, she treated Huo Quan as her brother and confided in him. However, before she could finish speaking, Huo Quan hugged her tightly.
“Huo Quan, you’re hurting me!” Li Miaoke cried out in shock.
Huo Quan let her sit on his lap and stared at her with a burning gaze. Li Miaoke’s voice gradually weakened until it disappeared. She could hear the sound of her heart beating rapidly. In the end, she couldn’t take Huo Quan’s gaze anymore. She wanted to avert her gaze, but Huo Quan forcefully stopped her.
“Miaoke, what are you afraid of?” Huo Quan asked her word by word. Li Miaoke could feel his warm breath on her face, and she could even feel his lips touching the tip of her nose when he spoke.
