The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Chapter 122 - He’s Jealous

Chapter 122: He’s Jealous

“You cannot be later than me, even for a few hours. I missed you so much when you weren’t home.” Huo Xuan’s eyes were red as he spoke, and he sounded like a child who had been abandoned by his mother. There was a hint of grievance in his tone.
Mo Zhu rubbed the man’s hair helplessly and replied softly, “Alright, alright. I came back as soon as I was done. Don’t be unhappy.”
She hadn’t expected that Huo Xuan would be unhappy and return home to drink because she had stayed behind to give Feng Yu an acupuncture treatment. If she had known that this would happen, she would have left this man in the ward with both of them.
“Do you not want to come back home and prefer to stay in the hospital with him?” Huo Xuan couldn’t accept the girl’s explanation, and he was kept up with expressing his own thoughts.
After hearing this, Mo Zhu looked up at Huo Xuan and couldn’t help but laugh. “There’s no place in the hospital for me to stay the night. Are you jealous?”!!
“Yes, I’m jealous…” Seeing that Mo Zhu understood what he meant, Huo Xuan didn’t hide anything from her and continued bluntly, “You can only be with me, you can’t be with other men! ”
Mo Zhu was angry and amused as she reached out and tapped the man’s chest lightly. Her voice was delicate as she said, “Did you misunderstand something? Do you think there’s an unclear relationship between Feng Yu and I?”
Mo Zhu was also a smart person. Hearing Huo Xuan’s words, she naturally understood why he was acting so strangely tonight. The smile on her lips deepened. Mo Zhu never expected that he would be so unhappy to the point that he drank so much wine over such a small matter.
Huo Xuan didn’t speak, but Mo Zhu wasn’t idle either. She gently pushed the man away and wiped her dripping hair with a towel while explaining, “There’s nothing between me and Feng Yu. It’s not the kind of relationship you think it is.”
When Huo Xuan heard this, his sword-like brows furrowed tightly. “What kind of relationship do you have with him then? I’ve asked you so many times, but you refuse to take the initiative to explain.”
“When Feng Yu was young, he was sent to Qingyuan Village and he stayed there for a period of time. We had a good relationship then, but later on, because of something else, his family brought him back. When I received news about him again, he had already disappeared…” Mo Zhu’s voice was a little low, and it sounded like she had recalled something bad.
After a pause, the girl continued, “I was still young when I met him. He helped my grandmother and I a lot. If I have to describe our relationship, Feng Yu should be considered a benefactor of mine.”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan’s eyes instantly lit up. He smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows. “So you have worked so hard to come to Cloud City to search for news of Feng Yu just to repay a favor?”
Mo Zhu patted her hair in frustration. “Of course. If I really like Feng Yu as you think, why would I agree to the Fang family making me your fiancée? Am I the kind of woman who would easily compromise and give up her true love for the sake of benefits?”
“No, no, that’s not what I mean. In that case… Then, let me blow dry your hair!” Huo Xuan was afraid of angering Mo Zhu again, so he took a deep breath and quickly changed the topic.
Mo Zhu wasn’t angry with him. Since Huo Xuan was so sincere, she couldn’t reject the man’s good intentions. “Alright, blow on it gently. Don’t tug at the hair that’s tangled with each other.”
After instructing him on this, Mo Zhu got up and went to bed. She lay on the bed and lowered her hair from the side of the bed.
She had worked hard for a day and was exhausted. Now, it could be said that Huo Xuan had helped her as she didn’t have to blow dry her hair herself.
She gently raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her who was drying her hair seriously. An inexplicable emotion welled up in Mo Zhu’s heart.
Perhaps she knew in her heart that her feelings for Huo Xuan might have changed, but she didn’t know whether this was a good or bad thing.
Having feelings meant having a soft spot. All these years, Mo Zhu’s achievements and status were all built on her own, one step at a time. Now that Huo Xuan was here, for the first time in her life, she no longer felt confident.
Time flew by and before they knew it, it was already the weekend.
That day, Mo Zhu got up from bed early in the morning. Just as she was about to go downstairs for breakfast, she saw Chen Man sitting on the sofa with a tablet in her hand in the living room downstairs.
When she heard a noise coming from the stairs, Chen Man turned her head and saw Mo Zhu, who was about to make her way downstairs. The woman’s face was immediately filled with a smile. She stood up and walked quickly in the direction of Mo Zhu. As she walked, she said, “Xiao Zhu, why are you up so early today? Quickly come and see which dress you like from the ones I have chosen for you!”
Mo Zhu walked down the stairs and stood beside Chen Man. She followed the woman’s words and looked at the screen in front of her. When she saw it, she was instantly dazzled by a colorful top grade gown.
Frowning slightly, Mo Zhu asked lightly, “Auntie Chen, why did you pick gowns for me…”
Before Mo Zhu could finish asking, Chen Man patted the girl’s hand and explained, “I’ve discussed it with Xuan’er’s father. We plan to hold an engagement banquet for you and Xuan’er in Cloud City next week!”
