?Chapter 287: Chapter 288: Old Hui Arrives Chapter 287: Chapter 288: Old Hui Arrives Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with his answer. Her daughter was the treasure she cherished in the palm of her hand, naturally unwilling to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.
“Huo Chen,” she said, “now that you’ve made these promises, you must follow through. You can’t just put on a show.”
Huo Chen would not dare, his gaze earnest as he replied, “Auntie, rest assured, when Huo Chen gives his word, he means it. If I fail to deliver, may lightning strike me.”
Xu Ying squeezed Huo Chen’s hand and whispered, “What about Old Hui?”
“At home. With so many people here, I was worried he might scare everyone.” Huo Chen’s voice lost some of its enthusiasm; he had wanted to bring Old Hui with him. To him, Old Hui was like his second parents. Without Old Hui, he might have lost his life long ago.
But, Granny Huo felt it was unsafe to bring Old Hui, worrying about what would happen if he clashed with the Xu Family members. It wouldn’t be good to cause a scene on such a joyous occasion.
Huo Chen also feared that bringing Old Hui might ruin the engagement, so he didn’t dare to bring him along.
Xu Ying’s tone carried a hint of coquettishness, “Bring Old Hui here, I miss him.” The first time she had met Huo Chen, Old Hui was there, fiercely protecting Huo Chen even though he was on the brink of death himself.
Moreover, animals have a keen sense of spirit, and Old Hui probably already regarded Huo Chen as his own child.
Huo Chen’s eyes sparkled with excitement and he gave a slight nod.
The two sneaked away quietly.
