Volume 1 Chapter 25: Old Man VS Beautiful Woman

  A 38-year-old old man and a 21-year-old beauty... such an odd combination makes people think it's a comedy no matter how they look at it.

  Staring at Old Xu's angry back as he stormed away, Tong Mai's lips involuntarily curled up into a smile, but this smile looked especially bitter! Nevertheless, at least she could still manage to smile...

  As she finished the last sip of coffee in her cup, she was about to leave when she suddenly found Yinyuqi standing in front of her. "Is it you?" The tone of her voice was tinged with surprise and extreme displeasure.

  Why is Yín Yǔqí appearing here? Is she replacing Chen Yúhuá to monitor her? To see if she really has a blind date with someone else, rather than just fooling around?

  Thinking of this, Tong Mai's eyes gathered a thread of malicious intent, and his face involuntarily twitched with a faint sneer.

  "Wheat..."

  Before Yin Yuqi could finish speaking, Tong Mai had already made a stopping motion, her words and actions still as arrogant and rude as ever. "Alright, don't say anything! I know what you want to say. You also saw it earlier, Old Master Xu looked down on me for not being a virgin, but I didn't look down on him! If he's willing to accept me, I can reluctantly agree." This sentence was of course intentionally said to Yin Yuqi, with no hint of sadness in her tone.

  "It's not like that, wheat, you... " Misunderstood.

  "Don't call me like that, we're not that close! Go back and tell your mom to find more people like this for me, I'll be very obedient and go on blind dates with them one by one! But... it's still the same sentence, in the next two years, I will still live in your house! Having missed out on over ten or twenty years of maternal love and paternal love, you should at least let me experience it for these two years!"

  Tong Mai's tone was heavy with sarcasm when she mentioned the words "fatherly love" and "motherly love", it's likely that for the rest of her life... she would never be able to enjoy the loving care from her mother and father. So, in summary, her life can be described as a tragic embodiment...

  Tong Mai slightly swept her lips, and the small movement was seen by Huo Yize. It seemed that there was a sudden surge of sourness in his chest, but it only lasted for a second before disappearing completely... This person is not worthy of sympathy! On the contrary, she should suffer more hardships to temper her sharp spirit! And what's her attitude now? Completely arrogant and lawless, taking advantage of Yin Yuxi's kindness. But Huo Yize still didn't speak up, as if waiting for them to finish talking before he would make his statement.

  "Wheat, I had no idea my mom found you a blind date... it's actually... " This kind of thing, Yin Yuxi herself felt speechless, and her face unconsciously hid thick guilt, "Don't get angry first, I'll go back and talk to mom about it..."

  "Haha... what's the point of getting angry? Your mom is so enthusiastic about finding me a man, on the contrary, I should be happy instead." Tong Mai crossed her arms over her chest, her expression full of pride and arrogance.

  One was weak and timid, the other was overbearing, it's human nature to protect those who are being bullied, He Yize seemed to have had enough of Tong Mai's attitude as well, his long legs striding straight towards them.

  "If there's nothing more to say, I'll leave first." Just as Tong Mai was about to leave with her bag, Huo Yize timely grabbed her wrist, "You're not done yet..." Thinking it was Yin Yuqi stopping her from leaving, Tong Mai had a burning fire in her heart and let out a loud roar, successfully drawing the attention of others nearby. However, when she turned around... and saw that the person behind her was actually Huo Yize... The last "done" word clearly lacked conviction.

  However, Tong Mai was secretly cursing in his heart, damn it, why did he always linger around like a ghost!

  "Also Ze......" Yin Yuqi was also a little surprised at Huo Yize's behavior, and she looked at Tong Mai again, who was now completely gnashing his teeth.

  "Let go!"

  "Sorry!"

  Tong Mai and Huo Yize's voices were almost spoken at the same time, Tong Mai's anger was overwhelming, but under Huo Yize's icy and menacing tone, he took a back seat.

  What kind of person is he? He actually wants her to apologize? On what grounds?

  "I said let go..." Tong Mai repeated the words, her aura even more sufficient, as if she was certain that Huo Yize wouldn't dare to mention in front of Yin Yuqi the fact that they used to know each other. So, she also became exceptionally arrogant. Of course, it's not ruled out that there was a little bit of jealousy...

  Sometimes, she had never thought of being like Yin Yuqi, delicate and lovely, gentle and elegant, but not like her now, with a fierce and untamed look, without any femininity. It's just that her environment didn't allow it, Yin Yuqi was a flower in the greenhouse, naturally, her temperament tended to be elegant, while Tong Mai was like a rootless wild grass, drifting everywhere, strong and stubborn.

  "The words 'I'm sorry' still came from He Yi Ze's mouth, but somehow they had become even more piercing and captivating."

  Want her to apologize? Dream on! Tong Mai was unwilling to yield, and her originally bright and round eyes widened even further...

  Yin Yuqi was anxious on one side, and she never thought that Huo Yize would "stand up" for her. She felt a little sweet at the same time, but also had a thread of anxiety. His confrontation with Xiaomai looked extremely fierce. Although he didn't show it too obviously, Yin Yuqi could sense the flames of anger emanating from him.

  Huo Yize's gaze swept across Tong Mai's unyielding face, and in the next second, his strength surged, causing a cracking sound to echo through Tong Mai's ears.

  Tong Mai felt a sharp pain and took in a cold breath, his ruddy complexion also turned pale in an instant...

  "Let go...” Yīn Yǔqí hastily stepped forward and pried open his hand, but Huò Yìzé didn't let go in time, apparently still feeling that the lesson he taught Tóng Mài was not enough. A pair of sharp, piercing eyes, like a night owl's, stared straight at Tóng Mài, with a hint of provocation in them.

  Originally, Tong Mai was still resisting, but at this critical moment, she didn't resist at all, even though her wrist hurt a lot now... it was far less than the flames brewing in her chest.

  "If you have the ability, cut off this hand!" Her tone was calm, with a completely reckless feeling.

  These words... at first glance, don't seem like they came from a girl's mouth.

  Huo Yize slightly raised the corner of his lips, and in his eyes, he revealed endless contempt for her. However, as always, the tone of his voice was absolutely calm and composed, neither high nor low, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him. A faint smile escaped his lips, "Do you think I don't dare?" His gentle laughter carried a hint of threat and pressure...
