Huo Tingxiao’s face turned cold.
“That joke isn’t funny.”
But Jing Rong couldn’t help her smile from growing wider.
“Didn’t you tell me to give up? So I will listen to you. From now on, I’ll give up on Brother Yunzhan and start pursuing you.”
The girl had a knack for coming up with schemes, making Huo Tingxiao feel like his headache had worsened.
“Jing Rong!”
A devilish smile spread across Jing Rong’s face. Did these old men really think they could dismiss her with their little tricks?
“What is it, Brother Huo?”
That term “Brother Huo” made Huo Tingxiao feel as though it were a death knell.
“Acting like this will only push Yunzhan further away.”
Jing Rong wore an expression of nonchalance.
“Since he’s already that far away, pushing a bit more doesn’t matter. In any case, if he doesn’t show up, you won’t have a good time.
He promised me back then, that he wouldn’t disappear without reason. I was only in the United Kingdom for a few days, and he broke his promise.
I’ve already notified my advisor, as long as I complete my research, I have all the time in the world to wear him down!
So you see, choose whether to sacrifice yourself or betray your brother.”
Huo Tingxiao realized that he shouldn’t underestimate this girl. If she got entangled with him, Mu Lan would…
Without hesitation, Huo Tingxiao dialed Yunzhan’s private mobile number.
“Where are you?”
“Huo Tingxiao, you’re really lacking loyalty, aren’t you? Is it that brat Jing Rong who asked you to find me?”
“She said if you don’t show up, she’ll cling onto me, giving up on you to pursue me. How can I not contact you in such a situation?”
After Huo Tingxiao finished speaking, Yunzhan was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly:
“Did she… really say that?”
“Of course.”
Expecting that the scoundrel would have a conscience and hurry back to sort things out, he was surprised to hear him bursting into laughter instead.
“Damn, if I knew this trick worked, I would’ve used it earlier.
Tell Jing Rong that I definitely won’t show up. Let her chase you, haha, I’m off to have fun with the ladies.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Huo Tingxiao’s face darkened, and Jing Rong knew what Yunzhan had said on the phone just by looking at his expression.
“He refuses to come back?”
“Hmm.”
A look of disappointment flashed in Jing Rong’s eyes, and she sneered.
“Well, then starting from now, Brother Huo, you are my target of pursuit. Until he’s willing to show up, this won’t be over.”
Seeing the smile on the girl’s face, Huo Tingxiao felt he had really gotten himself into a big mess.
When Mu Lan got off work and came home, she found an extra girl in the house, the one she had seen at noon.
“Yunzhan’s fiancée, Jing Rong. She’ll be staying at our place for a while.”
Huo Tingxiao promptly clarified Jing Rong’s identity.
However, Jing Rong giggled.
“That’s not it. I’m now pursuing Brother Huo, and that’s why I moved in.”
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao. Brother Huo?
Huo Tingxiao’s face turned cold.
“Jing Rong, don’t mess around.”
Jing Rong could see that Huo Tingxiao really liked Mu Lan, so she deliberately stirred up trouble.
“Where am I messing around? Brother Huo, everything I’m saying is true,” she declared, clinging to Huo Tingxiao’s wrist and cooing softly.
Mu Lan watched the two of them, her expression not very pleased.
If Huo Tingxiao hadn’t allowed it, this young girl wouldn’t have been able to set foot inside Maple Forest Garden at all.
“Mu Lan, don’t listen to her nonsense. It’s that bastard Yunzhan who suddenly disappeared, so…”
Huo Tingxiao was eager to explain, but Mu Lan didn’t want to hear any of it.
“It doesn’t matter. This is your home. It’s your freedom to bring back whoever you want. You eat; I’m a bit tired and will go upstairs to rest.”
Saying this, she went upstairs in her soft slippers.
Jing Rong looked at the two of them with an understanding expression.
And fire could practically spurt from Huo Tingxiao’s eyes.
“Don’t play too much. I have already notified your father, and they will come to take you away tomorrow.”
The moment Jing Rong heard this, she was not only unafraid, but even coolly said:
“The two of you are in a cold war, huh? Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you want my help? That sister just now seemed pretty jealous.”

Huo Tingxiao was startled. Jealous? Who? Mu Lan? Would she be jealous of a little girl like Jing Rong?
“Don’t think that by saying this, I won’t send you away.”
Jing Rong chuckled lightly, unable to help shaking her head.
“You really are a blockhead, not as cute as my brother Yunzhan, who understands the hearts of women.
Just now, that sister was obviously very upset, thinking that you bring women home too casually.
When I just said I wanted to chase after you, there was fire in her eyes.
Of course, I’m not helping you for nothing. You have to trick my brother Yunzhan into coming back, then I’ll help you.”
Huo Tingxiao suddenly felt tempted, but then he remembered his promise to Mu Lan and immediately restrained his small wicked thought.
“No, I can’t use such a method to test her.
I will only pursue her openly and honourably, waiting for her to accept me.”
Jing Rong didn’t expect such a righteous refusal from him, and she inadvertently got a mouthful of dog food thrown at her.
“Hmph, then just wait and see when you can win her back. What an old-fashioned guy.”
Huffing and puffing as she ate, the beefsteak suddenly lost its flavour for both of them.
Back in her room, Mu Lan was holding back her frustration.
What is the matter with Huo Tingxiao? Is this place supposed to be where just anyone can stay? Hasn’t he always hated strangers appearing here?
Yunzhan’s fiancée…
But the child had been calling him ‘brother Huo’ all along.
Brother? He was old enough to be her uncle. What kind of ‘brother’ is that?
Mu Lan felt her anger was quite absurd, but she couldn’t control it.
Who he likes to associate with is his business, what does it have to do with me?
“Mu Lan, don’t waver. Concentrate on your career, men are all big trotters!”
Forcefully immersing herself in work, she didn’t realize it was already eleven o’clock, and her stomach was growling with hunger.
Putting down her laptop, Mu Lan went downstairs to the small kitchen to fix herself something to eat.
Just as she took out some ingredients from the refrigerator, there was a noise at the door.
“Hungry?”
Mu Lan looked like a thief caught red-handed.
“What, is that not allowed?”
Huo Tingxiao’s gaze was gentle.
“I didn’t have a proper dinner either, and I’m hungry too. Can I…”
“No.”
The idea of him wanting to eat something she made was wishful thinking.
Huo Tingxiao pursed his lips, walked over, and took the ingredients from her hands.
“I meant, can I do the cooking, and you just wait to eat?”
Mu Lan looked at him, full of skepticism.
“You can cook?”
