Chapter 11: Marriage Agreement From the Past
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The boss of the barbeque shop seemed to be used to fights. After things had calmed down outside, he walked out with a cigarette in his mouth and said, “Put the tables and chairs back in their original positions and pay up for the things that are damaged! Eh? It’s you, Ding Chen. What trouble did you get yourself into again this time?”
Ding Chen waved at the boss with a bitter expression. “What does it have to do with you? Stop being such a busybody and hurry up in bringing out the skewers I ordered.”
The boss said, “It’s not done yet, just wait. Right, are you going to have them here or takeaway?”
Ding Chen said, “We’ll eat here.”
He got some beer and side dishes from the boss and invited Zhao Feng and Si Huan to sit down together. “Come, come, I’ll give you a treat. Just take it as thanks for your help.”
Si Huan had wanted to refuse, but Zhao Feng pulled him to sit down.
Zhao Feng was extremely curious about Huo Tian. “Huo Tian, I couldn’t tell that you’re quite good at fighting. When did you secretly start practicing?”
Huo Tian thought to herself that of course the original Huo Tian didn’t know any martial arts. This was the physical education lesson for all humans hundreds of years from now. Moreover, her current physique seemed to be changing gradually under the influence of her soul. Therefore, she wasn’t as restricted by her body even when fighting.”
Huo Tian was still thinking of how to answer when she saw Si Huan glance at Zhao Feng. “Your curiosity is too high.”
Zhao Feng pursed his lips. “Si Huan, what’s wrong with you today? You didn’t agree to the marriage agreement with Huo Tian back then, right? Why are you so protective of her?”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Ding Chen, who was drinking, choked and coughed. “What marriage agreement Tiantian, you have a marriage agreement with this guy?”
Si Huan’s expression turned ugly as he spat out the word, “No.”
Ding Chen glared at Si Huan. “Shut up! I want to hear it from Tiantian!”
Huo Tian did not understand why Ding Chen was so angry, but her intuition told her that her uncle was not to be trifled with when he was in this state. Thus, she carefully searched through the memories belonging to the original Huo Tian.
After a while, she shook her head firmly. “There’s absolutely no such thing as a marriage agreement!”
Ding Chen’s expression eased a little, but he still looked at Si Huan with dissatisfaction. “Since Tiantian said no, I’ll let you off this time. But brat, you better explain what’s going on!”
Ever since he took control of the Si Family, no one had ever questioned him with such an attitude. Si Huan was displeased, but he suppressed his anger when he saw Huo Tian’s curious expression.
Si Huan explained, “A year ago when Old Master Huo and my grandfather were still alive, they had the idea of joining the Huo Family and the Si Family through a political marriage. However, I didn’t agree to it, so the marriage agreement that Zhao Feng mentioned was just a joke. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Huo Tian nodded. “So that’s how it is. But the Huo Family is really too much. They didn’t even ask me for my opinion or even inform me on such an important matter.”
Zhao Feng asked curiously, “If the Huo Family asked you back then, would you have agreed to be engaged to Si Huan?”
Ding Chen sneered. “Are you kidding me? Our Tiantian won’t be so foolish…”
At the same time, Huo Tian also said, “If it were me, I would probably agree. After all, Si Huan is handsome and kind. He completely suits my taste!”
In her previous life, Huo Tian was a successful big shot in technology. Her criteria for choosing a partner was a handsome, kind-hearted, gentle, and virtuous little puppy!
Unfortunately, in the radiation-filled environment in her previous life, she could not find a man as extraordinarily handsome as Si Huan!
Ding Chen seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He looked at Huo Tian, who was not reserved at all, in disbelief. “Tiantian! You’re a girl. How can you say such things?”
Huo Tian looked at her uncle in confusion. “What’s wrong with girls? Can’t girls express their thoughts about their future partners?”
Zhao Feng covered his mouth and looked at Huo Tian in deep thought. He quietly said to Si Huan, “She’s already treating you as her future partner. This isn’t good. The joke just now was too big.”
Si Huan glanced at his friend coldly. “If you don’t learn to shut up, I’ll make sure you can never speak again.”
Zhao Feng shuddered when he thought of Si Huan’s method of calming down the chaos in the Si Family. He obediently zipped his mouth.
Si Huan then said to Ding Chen and Huo Tian, “The marriage agreement back then was just a verbal suggestion between the two families. Besides, you’ve already left the Huo Family. There’s no need to pay any heed to the things that have happened in the past.”
Ding Chen said angrily, “What do you mean? You don’t like our Tiantian?”
Huo Tian pulled on Ding Chen’s sleeve. “Uncle, calm down. I don’t even know what you’re angry about!”
Ding Chen paused awkwardly. If Si Huan had admitted to the marriage agreement, he would have exploded in anger! How could their precious girl be engaged to a brat so early?
However, the way Si Huan looked as if he didn’t care for Huo Tian made him even angrier. Tiantian was so good, yet he still dared to despise her?!
However, in front of the people who had just helped him, Ding Chen felt bad to be kicking up an unreasonable ruckus. He snorted coldly and waved his hand.. “You two brats should hurry up and get lost. If you don’t leave now, you’ll suffer!”
