She glared at Huo Xiao before she turned around and stormed up the stairs.
In reality, she would not be able to keep the smile on her face if she did not leave.
Her back collapsed as soon as she reached the corner of the second floor. She hid in the corner like a cat and listened to the commotion downstairs like a thief.
Huo Xiao might have been the king of the mountain for many years, but as far as she knew, he was still a novice when it came to intimate relationships.
She had secretly gossiped with Wang Yan and the others.
Although many women had their eyes on Huo Xiao over the years, he had never been enlightened when it came to relationships, probably because of the trauma of his parents' marriage.
Of course, she did not know that Huo Xiao used to have a crush on her.
But a crush was just a crush. Everyone had a crush. It was just that not everyone would have the experience of falling in love.
In this regard, Huo Xiao was an uncivilized, uncivilized, and barren land.
She wanted to take advantage of the situation and see if Huo Xiao could avoid this white lotus!
Downstairs, Xue 'er could not help but feel proud when she heard the man's words.
See!
She knew that there was no man who wouldn't like her cute and lovable temperament.
On the other hand, that vicious first wife.
She was the one who had done something wrong, yet she refused to admit it. Such a person would be detested by her husband sooner or later.
Xue 'er's expression became even more submissive and respectful. She would occasionally raise her head and look at Huo Xiao with her misty eyes shyly.
She did not speak, but it was as if she had said thousands of things, making the atmosphere become ambiguous.
Huo Xiao felt goosebumps from Xue 'er's stare.
He wanted to end this as soon as possible. He did not want to have anything to do with her.
"Miss, what I said just now is valid. How about this, it's getting late. Why don't you leave an address? I'll bring the doctor to you tomorrow morning. I'll pay for all the expenses. What do you think, miss? "
That's right, the room!
Xue 'er snapped out of her reverie. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be in a difficult position.
"Unfortunately, we're late today, so we haven't found a place to stay yet …"
She thought that with the other party's tender and protective attitude, he would definitely ask them to stay, or simply ask the woman to give up the room as an apology.
Huo Xiao frowned when he heard that.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then why don't you hurry up and find an inn to stay in?"
He even suggested sincerely, "I just came back from outside. All the inns in the city are almost full. You might be able to find one if you go now, but you might not be able to find one after a while."
Snow was stunned.
Hmm? Why didn't he just open his mouth and let her have a room?
Or was it that she hadn't been clear enough?
"You're right, Young Master. We've already looked for a few houses, but unfortunately, there were no empty rooms. This was our last hope, but the shopkeeper said that all the rooms have been booked by you …"
She liked to leave half of her words unsaid.
Because only by doing so would he be able to leave the other party with unlimited room for imagination.
This way, no matter what the other party did, it would have nothing to do with her.
They were the ones who misunderstood, so how could they be blamed?
Unfortunately, Snow had tasted the taste of failure today.
She had wanted to hint at the other party to give up the room, but Huo Xiao nodded and said with relief, "That's right. Fortunately, we came early. Otherwise, we might not be able to find a place to stay like you."
So what?
Snow waited for a while, but when she realized that the other party still hadn't said anything about vacating the room, she began to panic.
"Young Master, what I mean is, can you spare two rooms for us?"
Huo Xiao didn't even think about it. "Of course not. We have a lot of people, and the rooms will only be enough for us."
Snow probably hadn't expected him to reject her, so she blurted out in a panic.
"Then let your people squeeze in!" She immediately realized that the situation wasn't right, so she quickly corrected herself.
"No, I mean, we're all away from home, so I hope you can do us a favor, Young Master. My wife and young master have had a bumpy journey, and they just want a place to rest. "
Huo Xiao sensed that something was amiss.
From the way Snow blurted out to her explanation, he could roughly guess what she was trying to do.
They were using the excuse that he had accidentally injured someone to force him to give up two rooms to them.
At that moment, his heart was filled with unhappiness.
However, he thought about it and said, "I was the one who hurt you earlier. Logically speaking, I should compensate you for your loss."
"As for this room, I really can't spare it for you. However, if you think that this will make up for my mistake, I'll do it no matter what. After all, I was the one who promised you first. "
He waved his hand, and his assistant walked over.
"Go, vacate my room for this lady."
"What about you, Young Master?" asked the assistant.
"I'll sleep on the floor in any of the rooms."
The assistant did not say anything else. He went upstairs and vacated the room for Huo Xiao.
There was a moment of silence downstairs.
Huo Xiao turned sideways and leaned against the railing of the stairs. He crossed his arms, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
However, those who knew him well knew that this was his standard attitude toward 'outsiders'.
Snow was the only one who did not know that. She was even gloating over it.
If that woman found out that she had taken over her room, she did not know how angry she would be.
As long as she was angry at the Young Master, the two of them would quarrel.
That would be a good opportunity for her.
How could a man not like a woman with a gentle smile?
Just as she was about to say something to ease the tension, she heard a voice from upstairs.
"Young Master, the room is ready."
"Mm."
Huo Xiao replied calmly and looked at the injured woman.
"Please, Miss."
However, Snow was a little surprised.
The room was vacated, but what about the quarrel that she had expected?
She rolled her eyes. She could not let go of such a good opportunity.
She raised her voice slightly. At the very least, everyone upstairs and downstairs could hear her if they wanted to.
"Thank you for giving us the room, Young Master. However, don't you need to discuss this with someone else? "
"No need." Huo Xiao did not want to waste any more time with this woman.
Fortunately, since she had stated her conditions, they would not owe each other anything in the future.
It was just that he did not like the feeling of being threatened.
After all, he was not entirely responsible for this matter.
"But if Young Master does this, what if someone is unwilling and makes things difficult for us?"
She deliberately rubbed her fingers and said cautiously, "Your wife seemed to be unhappy with us moving in just now. She threw a big tantrum. I'm afraid that she will quarrel with Young Master and hurt your relationship as husband and wife. "
On the second floor, Lin Mengya rubbed her stomach, which almost hurt from laughing too much.
Huo Xiao did not know that the woman was not eyeing a room. She was eyeing him, the rich son-in-law!
Unexpectedly, the girl also put in so much effort in her performance. It was really worth it for her to add fuel to the fire downstairs.
Not far away, Aunt Fang, who could not fall asleep because of the noise downstairs, opened her door.
Just as she was about to say something, Lin Mengya quickly stopped her.
"Shh!" She put a finger in front of her mouth, signaling Aunt Fang to be quiet.
Like a loach, he slid into Aunt Fang's room in an instant.
"Don't go out now. Huo Xiao is looking for a daughter-in-law for you!"
Hearing this, Aunt Fang was no longer sleepy.
She quickly grabbed Lin Mengya's hand and asked in detail, "Which girl is he looking for? How old is she? What does she look like? By the way, do you think she's a good candidate? Oh, actually, I don't really care if it's a boy or a girl, as long as there's one! "
Lin Mengya quickly waved her hand, fearing that Aunt Fang would lose control and rush downstairs to propose for her son.
"Someone is indeed interested in Huo Xiao, but …"
Before she finished her words, she heard the sound of things being moved outside.
It turned out that after Cher reported to her wife, she did not hesitate to ask someone to move things to the second floor.
The second floor was a zigzag corridor.
Half of it was used as a private room, and the other half as a guest room.
The guest rooms were arranged according to the size and comfort level from east to west.
Because Lin Mengya lived with Baisu and the two babies, she occupied the largest and best suite on the east side. Aunt Fang, Uncle Huo, and Aunt Lan lived in a smaller suite.
Again, it was supposed to be Huo Xiao's room.
But because he was alone, he gave up his room to the others.
He and his assistant chose a small compartment in the westernmost part of the building.
To be fair, this room was not too small.
There was a big bed and a heated brick bed, which was more than enough for two or three people to sleep in.
But when she saw the room, Cher's expression changed instantly.
"Why is this room so small?"
Behind her, Madam, who looked a little tired, also flashed her eyes.
She was dissatisfied, but she never said it directly. She just shook her head at Cher and said apologetically, "Forget it. It's not easy for them to give us a room. The room is small, but it's not unlivable. I'm afraid Kuang 'er won't be used to it. "
Whenever Cher thought of her sickly and weak young master, she couldn't help but feel that she was not satisfied with the room.
She felt that she had been cheated.
No wonder that tigress agreed to give up the room so easily.
It turned out that she had just given up a room for servants to send them away.
In an instant, Cher was filled with resentment towards that woman.
Wasn't it obvious that she was playing with her?
She remembered that when she came up, that woman seemed to have walked out of the room on the east side.
With a face full of anger, he wanted to knock on the other side of the door.
