274 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 273

Chapter 272 Whoever strikes first wins?

Zhao Xingyuan had been in Zhao Shuyu’s room for less than a quarter of an hour when a servant came to report that Huo Yikun was waiting for the eldest son outside Hanyuxuan, saying that he had something to discuss.

Although Huo Yikun didn’t send anyone to invite him, he was already waiting outside. Although Zhao Xingyuan hadn’t said a few words to Zhao Shuyu, it was inconvenient to stay in his sister’s room.

Zhao Shuyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “Brother Xingyuan, Brother Huo must have something important to do with you, so go ahead and do your work first.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xingyuan paused slightly and glanced at Zhao Shuyu.

He did not ignore her words of “brother Huo”. The little girl who once only dared to hide behind him and politely called Huo Yikun “housekeeper Huo” changed her name to brother Huo just a short time later.

But seeing that Zhao Shuyu looked tired and smiled very reluctantly, Zhao Xingyuan lowered his eyes and stopped embarrassing her, “Well, I’ll go first.”

After Zhao Xingyuan left, Zhao Shuyu slumped her shoulders, felt bored for a long time, and then came to the brass mirror in the back room.

She pressed the white hair on her little scarf and saw that the dazzling red marks on her neck were still not gone at all.

Zhao Shuyu sighed dejectedly and sat in front of the mirror with a grimace.

There is no way to be able to move freely among various men and enjoy boundless enjoyment.

Only the look on Dong Chuang’s face after the incident happened was extremely haggard.

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.

Zhao Shuyu was still uneasy in this room, while Zhao Xingyuan and Huo Yikun in the other room had arrived in the study.

After the two discussed the important affairs of the house during this period, Zhao Xingyuan looked at Huo Yikun and suddenly said, “I am going to Hezhou this time. The youngest daughter of the governor of Hezhou will be pregnant next month. He knows that my Zhao familyNone of the boys are married, but they intend to marry a girl. Yikun, you have delayed the marriage due to affairs in the house these years. His youngest daughter is also a rare talent and beauty. If you are willing, I will take charge of this marriage and send someone to propose marriage next month.”

Zhao Xingyuan seemed to say nothing, but he went straight to the point.

Huo Yikun paused, turned his eyes slightly, and put down the tea cup in his hand.

“I don’t want to.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, “Why?”

“I already have someone I like.”

There were ten thousand legitimate reasons to refuse this marriage, but Huo Yikun chose to tell the truth.

Zhao Xingyuan’s face darkened, he stared at Huo Yikun, his teeth tightened slightly, and he slowly squeezed out two words, “Who is it?”

Huo Yikun lowered his eyes for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xingyuan, and said slowly and quickly: “Yu’er.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xingyuan’s face suddenly turned cold, “How old is Yu’er? She is still a girl! You are her sworn brother in terms of title. It is impossible for you and her to -”

Suppressing the anger in his chest, Zhao Xingyuan refused without hesitation.

He is Zhao Shuyu’s biological eldest brother, and all her marriages are decided by him. Without his approval, Zhao Shuyu would not be able to marry openly.

Facing Zhao Xingyuan’s decisiveness, Huo Yikun did not panic at all.

He just picked up the tea cup in front of him and blew it, “How is it impossible? Yu’er and I are in love, and we are not really blood relatives. She has already made a lifelong commitment to me. I originally thought that we would discuss this matter after she gets older, but since the eldest son has brought up this matter today, I will not hide it.”

What started out as a vague guess unexpectedly turned into a frank confession.

Zhao Xingyuan didn’t believe that the two of them would be secretly in love in such a short period of time. He was so angry that he turned blue for a moment, but he suppressed it forcibly and gritted his teeth and said, “How did you decide to be private for the rest of your life?”

Hearing this, Huo Yikun was silent for a moment.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhao Xingyuan, “Xingyuan, she is already mine.”
