Chapter 282 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 33
By the time Yun Qing woke up after a good night's sleep, it was almost noon. As soon as she went downstairs, one of her bodyguards, who often accompanied her, came over and said:
"Miss, Mr. Huo asked me to tell you that Xie Mingxiao has been arrested. The matter has caused quite a stir, and the Xie family has been greatly affected. He's busy kicking a man when he's down, so he might be back late tonight. You don't need to wait for him."
Yun Qing sat down at the dining table, picked up the milk brought by the maid, took a sip, and scoffed, "Who would wait for him!"
The bodyguard kept his eyes down, remaining silent.
Yun Qing took a bite of breakfast before speaking again: "Tell me in detail, what did he do?"
"Xie Mingxiao? He illegally detained and raped..."
Yun Qing looked up at him and said, "I asked what Huo Chen did. Xie Mingxiao was suddenly arrested and it immediately caused a huge uproar, affecting the Xie family. Don't tell me it has nothing to do with him."
The bodyguard paused for a moment, then said cautiously, "Miss, I... am your bodyguard..."
I'm not one of Mr. Huo's people, how would I know what Mr. Huo is doing?
Yun Qing said "Oh" and calmly ate her breakfast.
Unable to discern her attitude or what she was thinking, the bodyguard quickly added, "President Huo said he is on the side of justice."
Yun Qing hummed in agreement but said nothing.
The bodyguard was really scratching his head. What did the young lady mean by this? Did she have a problem with President Huo or not?
The young lady's temper isn't as bad as it used to be, but her thoughts are harder to guess than before!
I don't know how Mr. Huo manages to get along with her so effortlessly.
Or is it that all you need to do is act pitiful?
Thinking of how Huo Chen usually acted pitiful, he couldn't help but mimic it on his face, drooping his eyebrows and looking pitiful.
The bodyguard had a decent appearance. Although he was tall and strong, his appearance didn't look awkward at all; in fact, it was somewhat endearing.
But after glancing at him, Yun Qing asked in confusion, "Aren't you full?"
"Go eat if you're not full! As a bodyguard, being so listless will make your employer feel very insecure, you know that?"
Bodyguard: ...I understand, I'm not worthy.
Then the captain dragged him away and gave him a lecture: "You dare to have such wicked thoughts? You don't want to live anymore!"
The bodyguard protested his innocence, "I didn't have any ulterior motives. I was just thinking of President Huo, and without thinking, I took it upon myself to imitate him..."
The captain scoffed, "There won't be a next time!"

Huo Chen did indeed return very late. Yun Qing was sleeping soundly when she suddenly dreamed that someone was stealing her things.
She quickly clutched the thing in her arms tightly and tried to kick the person away, but her legs felt like they weighed a ton and she couldn't move them at all.
The robber was incredibly strong, and as the object in her arms slipped away from her, she cried out in desperation, "Get out of my way!"
Then she suddenly sat up, and with a "bang," her forehead hit something, making her howl in pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The lights were suddenly switched on, and Yun Qing, her eyes blurry with tears, saw the culprit. She angrily punched him, "Huo Chen, what are you doing?"
Huo Chen reached out and cupped her face, frowning as he examined her forehead. "Does it hurt a lot? Are you feeling dizzy?"
Yun Qing said angrily, "Of course it hurts! Where did I bump into?"
"It hit my forehead. I'll have Dr. Qi take a look."
Yun Qing pulled him back, "No need, it's the middle of the night, I'm fine."
"Are you really alright?"
"It's nothing! You're the one in trouble now! You come home so late at night, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing?"
Yun Qing moved her legs to let him go. No wonder she couldn't move in her dream; of course she couldn't move when he was pressing her down.
After confirming that Yun Qing's forehead was alright, Huo Chen lowered his eyes and asked in a dejected tone, "How am I supposed to sleep? Is there even room for me on this bed?"
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
She looked closely at her bed. "It's so wide, how come you can't fit?"
Huo Chen looked distressed and incredulous. "Do you really want me to lie next to you and watch you hug someone else? Have you considered how I feel?"
Yun Qing: ...
"Is this your reason for stealing my body pillow?"
As Yun Qing spoke, she reached out and grabbed a cushion from the side, shoving it into his arms. "Open your eyes wide and look carefully. Is this a person? It's not even human-shaped!"
Huo Chen twisted and deformed the soft cushion, and snorted, "Even a dragon won't do. I don't even know if you like me more or it more."
"I only came back a little late, and you put it on the bed. If I come back from a business trip, do I have to give up my spot to it?"
Yun Qing: ...You're jealous of a body pillow? Do you think that's normal?
Huo Chen reached out and hugged her, burying his head in the crook of her neck and nuzzling her, saying in a wronged tone, "You usually only hug me to sleep, I promise I'll come home earlier from now on, Qingqing, let's not have the dragon, let's throw it out, okay?"
"If all else fails, you can make a life-size body pillow for me."
Yun Qing glanced at the pillow he had thrown aside. Although it looked quite nice and was soft to hug, it was more important to appease the crazy Huo Gou Gou right now.
She reached out and touched Huo Chen's head, and Huo Chen immediately pounced on her happily, saying, "I knew Qingqing loved me the most."
He quietly kicked the pillow off the bed.
It's all dark and ugly, go away and play somewhere else!
Yun Qing reached out and pushed him, "Stop fooling around, aren't you tired from working so late?"
Huo Chen nibbled on her ear and whispered, "Xie Mingxiao won't bother you anymore. Let's celebrate."

When Yun Qing woke up the next morning, Huo Chen had already left.
The pillow she had just hugged was nowhere to be found.
Yun Qing was both amused and annoyed. Little Orange followed her around, bouncing around. She bent down, picked it up, and petted it, asking curiously, "Why didn't your daddy throw you away?"
Little Orange: ? ? ?
Yun Qing looked at the bewildered Xiao Chengzi and said, "I like dragons, and I also like cats. But dragons don't exist. They can't even tolerate a pillow, so how could they tolerate you?"
The butler happened to overhear her words and said with a smile, "Miss, maybe it's because you don't like Xiao Chengzi that much? Your eyes light up when you mention dragons, so of course Young Master Huo will pay more attention to you."
The butler was happy to see Yun Qing and Huo Chen together; seeing them so affectionate was better than constantly worrying that young master Huo might be missing an arm or a leg.
He's getting old; his heart can't handle any more stimulation!
Little Orange: !!!
Does Mommy not like me?
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Eyes glowing?
"Uncle Liu, you're exaggerating. I don't like dragons that much either."
Her black dragon pillow was destroyed by Huo Chen, but she wasn't angry at all, which shows that she didn't particularly like dragons, at most she just liked them in moderation.
So, Huo's jealousy is simply a case of taking advantage of being spoiled and being unreasonable.
Thinking about it this way, Yun Qing felt that she couldn't spoil him too much, lest he take advantage of her and become increasingly difficult to appease in the future.
"Uncle Liu, have someone clean Huo Chen's room thoroughly. He'll be staying there for a while."
Housekeeper: You're already separating after just getting your marriage certificate? Did he say something wrong?
He was hesitating whether to say a good word for Young Master Huo when he saw the young lady, carrying Little Orange, walking haughtily towards the restaurant. One step, two steps, three steps, then she suddenly turned around and said:
"Never mind, just clean it up quickly. He can move in after he's done with this busy period."
The butler readily agreed, but in his heart he thought that given how soft-hearted the young lady was now, Young Master Huo wouldn't need her after this busy period was over.
