Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 152 The Cold and Gloomy Madman

"Brother, you're confused... What kind of person is Xie Qing? How could you agree to let someone like him into the Huo family?"

"It's all in chaos, complete chaos... The Huo family has a male daughter-in-law, this, this... sigh..."

"Brother, Yunting has made a mistake. You can't let him run wild. You should correct him in time!"

"This is simply against common sense and against all reason! It's an act that will cut off the Huo family's lineage!"

"Big brother..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Huo residence was oppressive, like a thick, leaden cloud.

The three brothers of Old Master Huo had different expressions and expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision made by Old Master Huo.

Huo Yuxiang, who had been scolded by Xie Qing twice, was particularly opposed, even saying things like "I'm sorry to our ancestors."

Most of the younger members of the family listened quietly, holding their breath, and dared not express their opinions, even if they had a thousand thoughts in their hearts.

However, there will always be one or two daring young people in a group.

"All kinds of uncles, brothers and sisters..."

Huo Yuxiang's only son, Huo Ling, stood up and said, "I have a few words to say."

He didn't care whether others told him to speak or not, and started talking without even a second thought.

"Same-sex marriage is legal now, and there's a reason why it's legal. So stop harping on the fact that 'Xie Qing is a man.' They like each other, so they're together."

"Furthermore, there's the issue of having offspring that you're concerned about."

“With such advanced medical technology abroad, it’s entirely possible for two men to have a child. It’s just a matter of spending some money. Doesn’t my nephew Yunting have enough money? You’re all worrying unnecessarily…”

Huo Yuxiang was so angry that his own son humiliated him that his face turned red and he shouted, "Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak?"

Huo Ling stepped forward to 'soothe' his father, saying, 'Dad, don't be angry. I'm just stating the facts.'

"Xie Qing just insulted you, and it was because you spoke ill of him in front of him. If you ask me, you should go over and apologize to him..."

Huo Yuxiang became increasingly agitated, shouting, "Are you my son or his son? Tell me to go apologize to him!!!"

"dad……"

"Ah Ling, stop talking."

Huo Ling's mother quickly pulled her son back, saying, "You sit properly. If you can't sit still, go back to school."

Under pressure from her mother's "tyranny," Huo Ling pouted, but ultimately said nothing more and sat down silently.

He really couldn't understand what his father was thinking. Right now, the person who truly made the decisions in the Huo family was Huo Yunting, not his uncle.

What's the difference between offending Xie Qing and offending Huo Yunting?

There's no difference!

He was clearly helping him!

"Third brother, look at the good son you raised! He's completely siding with outsiders!"

Huo Qixuan said calmly.

Huo Yuxiang's most cherished and beloved son is his son. He can discipline him himself, but no one else can.

"And what about your son? I heard he's been living a life of debauchery and has ruined himself. He can't even perform sexually anymore!"

"I didn't see your son here today. I'm afraid he's getting treatment at that hospital again."

Huo Qixuan: "You..."

Seeing the two men's faces turning red and the tension rising, their second brother, Huo Bolin, quickly intervened, saying, "Alright, is this the time to argue?"

After saying that, she turned her gaze back to Huo Qiming, consistently sticking to her point of view.

"Brother, this is no small matter. You absolutely cannot just go along with Yunting's wishes like this. You have to make a decision!"

Hearing his second brother's words, the two, who had been at loggerheads, calmed down and stopped arguing. Instead, they joined in, trying to persuade their eldest brother to change his mind.

"It seems that you all disagree with my decision."

Huo Qixuan: "It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just that I hope you'll reconsider, brother. After all, it's not a good look for the Huo family to have a male daughter-in-law..."

Huo Qiming remained silent, seemingly considering the matter.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Since that's the case..."

"When Huo Yunting comes back, you can discuss it with him yourselves."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Everyone in the Huo family knows that the current head of the Huo family, Huo Yunting, is a cold and gloomy madman.

This understanding was ingrained in Huo Qixuan's very being.

He clearly remembered that when Huo Yunting was ten years old, his son had only touched his Ghost Ball out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, the other party acted like an enraged beast, striking ruthlessly and nearly killing his son.

That same year, Huo Yunting's unusual behavior caught the attention of his family, forcing him to begin receiving psychological treatment.

After three long years of treatment, he gradually calmed down and behaved like a normal person.

Despite this, Huo Yunting remained aloof and distant from everyone, including Huo Qiming, who had brought him back to the Huo family.

No one in the Huo family wanted to provoke him, nor did anyone dare to.

Despite the fact that everyone in the main hall was talking amongst themselves, endlessly criticizing Huo Yunting for doing this and that wrong, they were still busy at that moment.

But once Huo Yunting actually stood in front of them, everyone was as if they had been poisoned and mute, not daring to utter a single word.

After saying that, Huo Qiming got up and left.

Seeing that their eldest brother, who was in charge of the overall situation, had left, the remaining three brothers had no choice but to call their families and return to their respective residences.

At the Huo residence, night slowly fell, and the sky gradually darkened.

After dinner, Xie Qing took a walk in the courtyard as dusk deepened to aid digestion.

Afraid of getting lost, he didn't walk far, returning to his room in about half an hour to prepare for a shower.

The maid had carefully prepared the clothes, a navy blue silk nightgown.

Xie Qing finished showering and came out of the bathroom, which was filled with a hazy mist.

Her fair skin had a faint pinkish hue, and her hair, still glistening with droplets of water, meandered down her graceful neck, pausing briefly at her delicate collarbone before continuing its descent...

The dark blue belt around her waist was tied casually, hanging loosely and outlining her slender waist.

At this moment, he seemed like an elf who had escaped from the ethereal mountains, untouched by worldly affairs, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Xie Qing dried her hair until it was half dry, then carefully examined the bedroom where her beloved had lived since she was eight years old.

That's right, the bedroom he's sleeping in tonight is the very place where Huo Yunting has lived since he was a child.

Even after moving out of the Huo residence as an adult, he would occasionally return and stay here.

How to put it? He suddenly felt a sense of wanting to peek into his lover's childhood.

Hmm...that's kind of interesting.

Xie Qing hadn't observed for long when Huo Yunting called.

"Qingqing, you are at the Huo residence now."

On the other end of the phone, Huo Yunting's voice was deep and clear, as if he were watching over him from the side.

Xie Qing wasn't surprised. "Hmm."
