ATBLM [QT] Chapter 80.2

There are many brothers and sisters in the Huo family, Pan Susu and Huo Changyao are the least close. He has neither the humor of the Second Brother nor the gentleness and consideration of the Sixth Brother. As the Eldest Brother, he has already shouldered heavy responsibilities earlier and always has a serious face. With such a serious face and such a personality, the little girl naturally wanted to hide when she saw him.

Pan Susu was lively and playful in front of others, but when she was in front of him, she was as honest as a quail.

Jiang Rui sat down properly, putting her hands on her knees.

Huo Changyao closed the document and turned to look at her, with a little guilt in his words: “Mother did not do this properly, I wronged you. Big Brother apologizes to you on her behalf.”

Jiang Rui’s eyes were sour and she shook her head hurriedly.

Huo Changyao again said: “Mother was frightened this time, I am afraid that she will not change her mind easily, so Big Brother needs you to cooperate for a while. After the matter is over, it’s up to you to decide what to do. In the future, when you have someone you like, Big Brother will explain it clearly to him, do you think it works?”

He has always been strong, except in front of the Old Madam, when has he ever spoken to someone in this tone? This time, he really felt guilty. After all, reputation is not a trivial matter for women.

If the real Pan Susu was here, she would feel relieved to hear these words. The sadness between Jiang Rui’s eyebrows and eyes disappeared immediately and she said hurriedly: “Yes, as long as Big Brother gets better sooner, I’m fine.”

Huo Changyao nodded: “You worked hard last night, go back and have a good rest.”

“Big brother, you should also take a good rest.” Jiang Rui said.

Although listening to what Huo Changyao said, after this period of time when the Old Madam let go and let her decide whether to dissolve the marriage, Jiang Rui felt that he underestimated Wang Shi’s determination.

Sure enough, the problem came when they were resting at night.

Wang Shi actually went to the front building in person, watching people move Jiang Rui’s belongings to Huo Changyao’s room. Now, she believes in what the Taoist Master said very much. She is afraid that if they sleep in separate rooms, they will not be considered a real husband and wife, so they must sleep together.

When Huo Changyao refused, she began to wipe away her tears, saying something that would be taken away by Hades with him.

People who have always been strong, once they shed tears, others feel even more sad when they look at it. Not to mention that Huo Changyao is still her son, so he had to agree in the end.

The rest of the people left quickly and Jiang Rui stood there bewildered.

“Big Brother, wait a moment for me to sneak back to the room.” She whispered to Huo Changyao.

Huo Changyao frowned slightly, “Thanks for your hard work, I will persuade Mother again tomorrow.”

The two of them sat dry in the room for a while. When there was no movement outside, Jiang Rui opened the door quietly. She just poked his head out, but immediately retracted and said with a frown, “Big Brother, Mother has someone guarded outside.”

Huo Changyao sighed secretly, propped himself up, and prepared to get out of bed, “Xiao Qi, I am sorry that you sleep here tonight, I will sleep on the sofa.”

Jiang Rui hurriedly stopped him, “Let me sleep on the sofa.”

“No.”

“But, Big Brother, your body…”

“It’s okay, you take a quilt from the cabinet and help Big Brother put it on the sofa.”

Jiang Rui looked hesitantly at the sofa that was not as long as her alone, pursed her lips for a long time, and said in a low voice, “Big Brother, otherwise, you should sleep on the bed too.”

Huo Changyao flatly refused: “Xiao Qi, you don’t need to persuade me anymore, I won’t agree.”

Marriage between the two is an expedient measure. If they share the same bed again, what face does he have to say?

In the end, one of them slept on the bed and the other on the sofa. Huo Changyao’s tall body was lying on the sofa without making much movement. But, Jiang Rui knew that he did not fall asleep much.

It wasn’t until the early morning of the next day that Huo Changyao fell asleep in a daze and was woken up not long after.

Jiang Rui whispered in his ear: “Big Brother, Big Brother…Go to bed and sleep, I’m up.”

Huo Changyao opened his eyes and looked at the sky. It was still very early, but Jiang Rui was already neatly dressed. Apparently, to make room for him especially, she got up early.

“You can sleep a little longer,” He said.

Jiang Rui said: “I’m not sleepy, I can’t lie down anymore. And Mother may come to see us later. If she sees Big Brother sleeping on the sofa, she must be upset.”

Huo Changyao got up and Jiang Rui helped him to lie down on the bed. It was the bed he was used to sleeping in, but at this moment, the bed was filled with other people’s body temperature and there was a vague fragrance at the tip of his nose, which made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
