Chapter 78: Has It Anything to Do with You?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Xuanyao had been determined to marry Huo Jinyao, so she had visited the Huo Mansion often in the past. She was beautiful and kindd. Even Mrs. Huo, usually a cold person, had been very kind to her.
The He Family and the Huo Family had had business dealings, so she had always felt that she was the best match for Huo Jinyao.
She had been upset for a long time because she hadn’t seen Huo Jinyao when she had gone back to Rong City. That was why she had agreed to come to Lin City with Qiu Junjiao.
She hadn’t expected to meet Huo Jinyao in Lin City. She didn’t recognize him at first, because she had not seen Huo Jinyao for two years. Now, she was sure; she’d seen his face clearly.
“Brother Jinyao. Fancy meeting you here.”
He Xuanyao switched off her indifferent attitude that she had had while watching the fun. There was girlish shyness on her face.
Huo Jinyao glanced at her like she was vaguely familiar. Almost instantly he remembered who she was, but he still acted as if she were stranger to him.
“Who are you?”
“Brother Jinyao, I’m Xuanyao, He Xuanyao. Don’t you remember me? I’m the youngest daughter of the He Family. You worked with my brother before.”
He Xuanyao blushed as she looked at Huo Jinyao, with a pair of eyes full of tenderness.
If it were another man, he would have probably been moved. Huo Jinyao was no ordinary man.
“He Xuanyao.” He knew her. She was He Xuankai’s younger sister and the only daughter of the He Family.
“Yes. You don’t remember me? Aunt Huo said it was fate that we both had the characters that were pronounced as “yao” in our names.”
Although the characters were different, the pronunciation was the same. She had always regarded this as a fateful coincidence.
Huo Jinyao’s mouth twitched. Commonly used Chinese characters were rare and there were more than one billion people in China. How many people could share the same name?
“I don’t remember.”
Huo Jinyao did not want to pay any attention to He Xuanyao after saying these words.
The sudden change confounded Qiu Junjiao totally. What was going on? Of course, she knew He Xuanyao, whose family was as good as hers. She was acting friendly towards Huo Jinyao. Looking at Huo Jinyao, she was pondering why she hadn’t heard that Su Qingsang’s newly married husband had been extraordinary? Hadn’t they told her that he was just a clerk?”
“How could you not remember?”
He Xuanyao did not give up. It was not easy seeing Huo Jinyao here; she would at least make sure he remembered her. Seeing that Huo Jinyao wanted to leave, she unconsciously wanted to take his hand. She suddenly thought of the dialogue between Qiu Junjiao and him.
“Brother Jinyao, you just said you were married?”
How could that be? The upper class of Rong City hadn’t got any news of a big event.
He Xuanyao recalled Su Qingsang’s appearance. She was not particularly pretty, just slightly prettier than the ordinary.
Why? Why did Brother Jinyao marry such a woman?
“Yes. I am married.” Huo Jinyao could see that He Xuanyao fancied him, of course. So what?
“Why so suddenly?” The girlish shyness disappeared on He Xuanyao’s face. Now, her pale little face was covered with sadness.
“Was that your wife? Do Uncle and Aunt Huo know? Do they know who she is?”
“Has it anything to do with you?” Coldness flashed over Huo Jinyao’s face. “Whomever I married, and whether my parents know it or not, has it anything to do with you?”
