That day was Liang Youli's birthday party. However, on such an important day, Liang Yan hid in Liang Youli's closet and had no choice but to listen to the man and woman speaking outside.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly," Huo Qingning's voice was as calm as ever.
Liang Yan looked through the tiny gap in the closet out of curiosity. She saw Huo Qingning wearing a custom-made suit. Huo Qingning was handsome and tall. When he spoke, his voice was calm and gentle as the surface of a pond. He was the Prince Charming of Liao City.
Liang Yan's usually arrogant and mean elder sister, Liang Youli, looked at the man's distanced attitude, but she was not angry. Instead, she laughed. She even said coquettish, "Qingning, we are family friends. Don't be so restrained."
As Liang Youli spoke, she reached out to grab Huo Qingning's arm. Her intimate action seemed to be hinting something.
Huo Qingning frowned and pulled his hand back. His voice was still as calm as ever. It was hard to tell his emotion, "I'll leave if you have nothing to say."
"Wait! Don't leave yet. I have something I want to discuss with you. I heard that Old Master Huo is forcing you to get married. I'm sure you must be having a hard time. Our families are family friends. I can help you if you need me," Liang Youli voiced out her thought when Huo Qingning was walking towards the door.
Huo Qingning turned around and asked, "How do you plan to help?"
"I can get engaged to you," Liang Youli looked a little excited when she saw Huo Qingning's reaction, "I'm willing to do it. I don't mean anything. All I want to say is I am willing to help you if you want me to..."
"In your dreams," Huo Qingning looked at Liang Youli disdainfully. He hated it when others threatened him or interfered with his life.
Liang Youli froze, then she scolded, "Huo Qingning! Am I not good enough for you? Whether it's my family or talent, I'm far better than most women. Isn't marrying me the best choice?"
Liang Youli decided to try seducing Huo Qingning with her charm. So, she deliberately took off his coat and walked towards Huo Qingning. She brushed her sexy body against Huo Qingning's body intentionally.
Liang Yan witnessed the erotic scene.
"F* ck!" That startled Liang Yan. She did not want to see her sister sleeping with a man. Although Liang Youli had a great body, Liang Yan was only a teenager. She felt embarrassed watching that. Depressed, Liang Yan began to curse her sister and Huo Qingying. She did not expect them to be so bold, doing something like that when the guest was already waiting at the party.
"I'm so unlucky," Liang Yan thought. Liang Yan had only wanted to discuss something with Liang Youli. She planned to ask Liang Youli to beg her father not to buy the welfare home since she had donated her bone marrow. Never did she think Liang Youli would bring a man to her room. So, Liang Yan hid in the closet out of panic.
Liang Youli was the dream girl among the wealthy families in Liang City. So, even Liang Yan could not believe that Huo Qingning could reject such a sexy woman!
To Liang Yan, that was interesting to watch, but Huo Qingning only felt disgusted. To avoid the woman behind him, he did not hesitate to abandon the relationship between the two families and walked to the window. Liang Yan was in the shuttered-door wardrobe by the window! Huo Qingning might see her if he looked carefully through the blinds. Liang Yan immediately clenched his fists nervously.
"I would rather marry Liang Yan than you," Huo Qingning recalled Liang Yan's appearance in her mind. Liang Yan had a pair of bright eyes and a black ponytail. She always had a bright smile and was unlike Liang Youli, who always acted like a princess. No one liked arrogant people, no matter what her family background was.
"What?" Liang Youli was embarrassed and angry. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. It did not occur to her that Huo Qingning would compare her to her sister.
Huo Qingning's sudden confession shocked her. She scolded Huo Qingning silently, "Does he know what he is saying? Even if you want to reject my sister, don't use me as your shield, okay? I still need Liang Youli to help me. You are making it difficult for me."
Liang Yan could only sigh, even though rage had struck her. Huo Qingning, who was right in front of her, heard her instantly. Before she could react, she had already met Huo Qingning's gaze through the gap between the blinds and the wardrobe!
Shocked, Liang Yan subconsciously stepped back. But she accidentally bumped into the clothes rack above her head. With a series of clattering sounds, many clothes racks fell from the wardrobe.
"Who's in there?" Huo qingning quickly opened the wardrobe and pulled out the person inside. Just as he was about to scold, he realized that the person hiding in the closet was Liang Yan. Huo Qingning's expression turned from angry into a smirk. He softened his voice and asked with interest, "What are you doing here?"
