Chapter 86 - Sitting on the Thigh of Huangfu Shao

Huangfu Qiao hurried to the hospital and, by chance, spotted Mu Sifa bringing Shang Xiaojie into the elevator. Even though he couldn't clearly see Shang Xiaojie's face, Huangfu Qiao had a subtle sense that Mu Sifa might have been in tears.

“Am I overthinking things?”

Given that Mu Sifa was with Shang Xiaojie, Huangfu Qiao deduced that no one would harm him, leading him to that thought.

While lost in his thoughts watching the elevator, an unexpected shadow emerged behind him. Before he could react, Huangfu Shao swiftly grabbed him by the neck and yanked him away.

“Ease up, big brother. You're hurting me.” Huangfu Qiao almost lost his balance. Fortunately, he had grown accustomed to Huangfu Shao's sudden actions and managed not to stumble.

Huangfu Shao remained silent, his face expressionless and cold.

Could he still be upset? The thought unnerved Huangfu Qiao.

Fearing his words might further upset Huangfu Shao, Huangfu Qiao refrained from protesting. He complied and climbed into the car without any fuss.

Watching with apprehension as Huangfu Shao made his way to the driver's seat, Huangfu Qiao's anxiety surged once more.

Hoping to lighten the tense mood, he inquired, “Did Xiaojie cry earlier? Did Brother Mu upset him?”

As he spoke, internally, he kept urging Huangfu Shao not to be mad. He fastened his seatbelt and stole a glance at Huangfu Shao.

Suddenly, Huangfu Shao leaned in, grasped his chin, and directed his gaze to meet his own, all the while maintaining a stern expression.

“What's going on? Is something wrong?” A flutter of nervousness made Huangfu Qiao catch his breath.

This can't be good. Is he about to lose his temper? What should I do now?

Panic-stricken, an idea flashed through Huangfu Qiao's mind. Without hesitation, he planted a quick kiss on Huangfu Shao and then retreated, offering an uneasy laugh.

The uneasy laughter stemmed from realizing that Huangfu Shao's demeanor hadn't changed at all.

“I get it! I made a mistake. I won't repeat it. Seriously, this is terrifying. What if I get so scared I forget things?”

Trying to win him over, Huangfu Qiao behaved endearingly.

Huangfu Shao's brow remained furrowed. Without uttering a word, his gaze fixed on Ye Zichen.

Wait, did the kiss not have any effect? Really? It usually works!

“Do you think a kiss is enough of an apology? Why would I be mad at you?” Huangfu Shao teased.

Caught off guard, Huangfu Qiao stammered, “N-no! How could that be?”

But his face gave him away. Having raised Huangfu Qiao, how could Huangfu Shao not detect the falsehood?

Contrary to appearances, the two weren't biological siblings. Huangfu Qiao was the offspring of Huangfu Shao's uncle. After tragedies struck their families, the responsibility of caring for Huangfu Qiao landed on Huangfu Shao.

Initially, Huangfu Shao treated Huangfu Qiao as a younger sibling. However, somewhere along the way, his feelings evolved, and he began to see Huangfu Qiao as a life partner.

Only recently did Huangfu Qiao uncover the truth about Huangfu Shao's feelings. Otherwise, he'd have always viewed him as an elder brother.

He released Huangfu Qiao's chin and gestured for him to sit on his lap. His tone remained icy.

“Okay, got it. No need to be so stern! It's intimidating.”

Though he voiced his complaints, Huangfu Qiao complied and took a seat on Huangfu Shao's lap. Eventually, he wrapped his arms around Huangfu Shao's neck, demonstrating his familiarity with the gesture.
