CH 223

The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 223,  Impostering As the White Moonlight

Qiao Cen led the way up front, urged to speed up by Huo Wu Mu's scorching gaze behind him.

When the guards on the way saw Huo Wu Mu, they all showed surprised expressions before quickly taking off their hats and placing it on their chests to salute Huo Wu Mu. However, after they finished the salute and straightened their bodies, there wasn't the slightest shadow of Huo Wu Mu in front of them.

Huo Wu Mu felt his blood boil. Searching it for ten years and he finally smelled this sweet fragrance again. Was that her? Was it... … her?

Huo Wu Mu tightly clutched the sachet.

When he came in front of Luan Qing Xiao's door, Qiao Cen stopped and said to Huo Wu Mu. "Mr. Huo, the young miss who gave you the sachet is inside."

Standing in front of the door, Huo Wu Mu raised his hand to knock on the door, but suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia and didn’t dare to knock.

Huo Wu Mu retracted his raised hand and ordered Qiao Cen, "You go knock on the door." Then, he took a step back to stand to the side.

"Yes, Mr. Huo." Qiao Cen walked to Luan Qing Xiao's door and turned to look at Huo Wu Mu. When Huo Wu Mu nodded at him, Qiao Cen patted the door with his palm.

"Dong Dong Dong!" The door was made of alloy, so the sound it made against the palm of the hand was crisp clear.

Huo Wu Mu's heart beat fiercely with the knocks on the door.

Qiao Cen patted it three times, then withdrew his hand, waiting for Luan Qing Xiao inside the room to open the door.

After half a minute, there was no movement in the room.

Qiao Cen was afraid that Huo Wu Mu would be angry. Thus, he turned around to explain for Luan Qing Xiao. "Maybe that young miss inside accidentally fell asleep and didn't hear it."

Yet, Huo Wu Mu wasn’t angry. Instead, his fierce heartbeat gradually returned to calm because of the unopened door.

Huo Wu Mu only replied, "Then wait until she wakes up before knocking again."

She was already here. It’s not like she could suddenly disappear.

Separated by a door, the moment he thought that the person inside may be her, he felt that there was no problem even if he waited forever.

Qiao Cen and the surrounding people were all startled when they heard Huo Wu Mu's words.

Who exactly was the person inside? She actually let Huo Wu Mu, who kept away from the female sex, be willing to stand outside the door and wait for her to wake up.

Luan Qing Xiao originally only wanted to close her eyes and rest her mind, but she didn't expect to directly fall asleep.

After she woke up, she looked at her optical brain. It has been more than an hour since she gave out the sachet. Why hasn't the male lead come yet? Didn't Qiao Cen deliver it to Huo Wu Mu?

【Host Dada, Huo Wu Mu is here. He’s waiting outside the door~】

Luan Qing Xiao was surprised: Why didn't he knock on the door?

【He knocked once, but Host Dada fell asleep and didn’t hear it. Therefore, Huo Wu Mu didn’t let Qiao Cen knock again, saying that he was going to stand outside until you woke up. 】

Huh! The male lead was quite sentimental!

It was just a sachet. He hasn't even determined whether she was the one who saved him ten years ago, yet he already behaved like this.

Luan Qing Xiao got up from the bed. Pretending that she didn't know anything, she walked to the table and took a sip of water. When she set the glass down, she didn't hold it firmly. The bottom of the cup collided with the tabletop, making a loud sound enough for the people outside the door to hear.

Sure enough, within three seconds, there was a knock on the door.

Luan Qing Xiao adjusted her composure and walked over to open the door with a warm smile on his face. When she saw Huo Wu Mu outside the door, Luan Qing Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise. "Mr. Huo?"

She opened the door and walked in front of Huo Wu Mu. Luan Qing Xiao first glanced at Qiao Cen with autumn water-like eyes, then her eyes gaze fell on Huo Wu Mu's face, her cheeks slightly red. "Mr. Huo, I don’t know if you like the sachet I made for you."

Hearing the soft tone like the one he had heard ten years ago, Huo Wu Mu couldn't control his Adam apple rolling and replied hoarsely, "I like it."

Luan Qing Xiao nervously kneaded her fingers. Because of Huo Wu Mu expressing his liking, her ears became flushed.

She was too embarrassed to talk to Huo Wu Mu directly, so she turned to Qiao Cen. "Captain Qiao, thank you very much."

Without Qiao Cen helping her deliver the sachet, how could she have a chance to meet Huo Wu Mu?

Qiao Cen swiftly waved his hand, "No need to be polite."

After Qiao Cen finished speaking, he noticed Huo Wu Mu's slightly blackened face and sighed. When he finally met a woman he liked, yet Mr. Huo was also interested in her. No matter from which aspect, Qiao Cen all thought that he couldn’t compare to Huo Wu Mu.

He took the initiative to say to Luan Qing Xiao, "Mr. Huo has something to discuss with you, I don't know if you mind… …" Qiao Cen's gaze turned to the interior of the door.

Luan Qing Xiao immediately understood. She stepped aside and said to Huo Wu Mu. "Mr. Huo, please come in."

Huo Wu Mu has been watching Luan Qing Xiao the entire time. He thought: It was her, how could it not be her?

Huo Wu Mu raised his foot and walked into Luan Qing Xiao's room to find that the room was surprisingly small. Luan Qing Xiao was tall and slender. Alone in the room, she could still walk freely. When Huo Wu Mu entered, the room was almost impossible to walk around and felt extremely cramped. 

Luan Qing Xiao placed the only stool in the room beside Huo Wu Mu, "Mr. Huo, let's sit down and talk."

After Huo Wu Mu sat down on the stool, Luan Qing Xiao sat on the bed opposite him.

The distance between the two people was less than half a meter.

Huo Wu Mu's eyes were a faint gray. When he looked at someone deeply, it was extremely charming.

Luan Qing Xiao appeared to be too shy to look at him. She lowered her gaze, "Mr. Huo, I don't know what you want to tell me?"

Huo Wu Mu wanted to speak, but realized that he didn't know where to start.

What he wanted to ask was too much. He wanted to ask if she saved a teenager in the backyard of her home ten years ago? Why didn’t she say goodbye without leaving behind her name? Why did she face himself... ...but still couldn't recognize him?

At that time, he lost his sight and voice due to poisoning, but she didn't. She was right in front of her and the distance between the two people was so close. Why couldn't she recognize him?

"You… …" As Huo Wu Mu's gaze fell on Luan Qing Xiao's soft and cloud-like hair, his cold heart seemed to have become soft.

During that time, he must have been in quite a mess, extremely different from his current appearance. It was excusable that she couldn’t recognize him.

"What's your name?" Huo Wu Mu asked.

Luan Qing Xiao raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Huo Wu Mu carefully, her eyelashes fluttered nervously. "My name is Luan Qing Xiao."

"My name is Huo Wu Mu, you probably already know." Huo Wu Mu mouthed Luan Qing Xiao's name twice in her mouth. Not only was she beautiful, but her name was this pretty.

"Yes, Mr. Huo, I have heard of your name." Huo Wu Mu was the businessman with the most planets in the Star Alliance. He has his own armed forces, while his sister was the wife of the Alliance’s colonel. Of course, compared to his power, what was even more well-known was the rumors of how he kept away from the female sex.

Luan Qing Xiao raised her eyes. Faced with Huo Wu Mu's gaze, she continued, suppressing her shyness. "Mr. Huo, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Did he only come here to find her personally just to ask for a name?

Being watched by Luan Qing Xiao, Huo Wu Mu clenched his fists subconsciously, which suddenly made him realize that he still had the sachet that Luan Qing Xiao gave him in his hand. Huo Wu Mu raised his hand, "The sachet made by Miss Luan is rather unique. "

Luan Qing Xiao responded, "I have done some research on herbs. This is a herb recipe that I created when I was young. After the preparation, it not only has a unique fragrance, but it also has the effect of soothing depression and relieving fatigue. The pirate snatched all my assets, leaving me with only this sachet. I want to repay you for saving my life, so I requested Captain Qiao to help me bring the sachet to you."

"I really didn't expect you to come to meet me in person."

Huo Wu Mu intercepted the key words from the passage that Luan Qing Xiao said; when she was young and how she created the recipe.

"How young was ‘when you were young’? Ten years ago?" Huo Wu Mu tried to naturally bring up "ten years ago.”
