Chapter 815: Chapter 815: We Must Take Him Down

Huo Qilin ultimately chose to trust Xia Qingtian.

"Okay," he nodded in agreement.

Xia Qingtian gave one last piece of advice, "Oh, and make sure you do not let Mrs. Huo accompany you on the blind date. Remember, you must enter the private room alone to meet your date. Got it?"

Huo Qilin did not understand her reasoning.

However, he ultimately agreed, driven by his trust in Xia Qingtian. "Okay."

Seeing that she had persuaded him, Xia Qingtian knew that everything would be fine as long as he handled Mrs. Huo.

She took a few steps back, distancing herself from Huo Qilin, and then turned to Mrs. Huo, "Mrs. Huo, I’ve persuaded Qilin to go on the blind date, so I’ll leave you to your important matters."

As she was about to leave,

Mrs. Huo, recalling the secretive way Xia Qingtian spoke with Huo Qilin, grew suspicious.

She looked at Huo Qilin, "What did she just tell you?"

As if Huo Qilin would tell her!

"This is between Qingtian and me, and it does not concern you," he suppressed the surging excitement about meeting Cheng Bingbing and said expressionlessly to Mrs. Huo, "You just want me to go on a blind date, I can agree to that!"

Mrs. Huo was surprised that a few whispered words from Xia Qingtian could actually make Huo Qilin compromise to go on a blind date.

She felt somewhat bitter inside.

Could it be that in Huo Qilin’s heart, a strange woman was more important than his own mother?

Despite her persistent persuasion and all her efforts to coax and coerce him, she could not make Huo Qilin agree; yet, he agreed to listen to Xia Qingtian.

Dissatisfaction surged in Mrs. Huo’s heart.

But the immediate priority was to make Huo Qilin obediently go on the blind date.

As long as Huo Qilin was willing to go on the blind date, she was ready to overlook other matters and not pry further.

"Okay, I’m glad you are willing to go on a blind date!" Mrs. Huo compromised.

Thinking of Xia Qingtian’s advice, Huo Qilin added, "Oh, I don’t need you to accompany me during the blind date. I want to go to the blind date alone!"

"That’s not allowed!" Mrs. Huo refused without a second thought.

Huo Qilin furrowed his brows, "Why not?"

"What if you run away when I’m not watching you?" Mrs. Huo said.

She also suspected that Xia Qingtian had perhaps secretly instructed Huo Qilin on how to ditch her and then escape!

Seeing her firm attitude, Huo Qilin knew it wouldn’t be easy to dissuade Mrs. Huo, but for the sake of meeting the woman he loved, no matter how difficult, he had to try his best.

"Weren’t you and the so-called Energy King’s daughter supposed to meet in a private room?" he proposed a compromise, "You can have bodyguards stationed at the door then. That way, even if I wanted to escape, I couldn’t. If you’re still worried, you can wait outside the private room, but I have one condition—you cannot follow me inside the private room for the blind date!"

Mrs. Huo did not reply, only looking at him with a skeptical gaze.

Huo Qilin’s heartbeat was racing, but he insisted, "In any case, what I just said are my conditions for agreeing to the blind date. If you don’t accept them, then you either agree to cancel the blind date or let these bodyguards break my legs and carry me into the private room for the date!"

Mrs. Huo pondered seriously.

With bodyguards stationed at the entrance to the private room, Huo Qilin should not be able to escape.

As long as he willingly went on this first blind date, there would be a second, and a third.

She had shown Huo Qilin’s photo to the Energy King’s daughter, who was very satisfied and even claimed that she fell in love with Huo Qilin at first sight and planned to pursue him.

Even if he didn’t behave well later, the girl probably wouldn’t mind: men chase women over mountains, and women chase men through a veil easily torn. As long as Huo Qilin didn’t meet the fairy-like Cheng Bingbing, over time, he would surely be moved by the girl.

As Mrs. Huo thought this, she compromised, "Okay, I agree!"

After both parties agreed, Huo Qilin obediently followed Mrs. Huo to the entrance of the private room.

Mrs. Huo kept her promise, standing at the entrance without any intention of pushing the door open but cautioning Huo Qilin, "When you meet her, make sure you behave properly. Even if you don’t like the girl, keep your manners. This blind date isn’t about forcing you to marry her; it’s just to let you meet and maybe make a new friend."

Huo Qilin didn’t believe any of her nonsense.

He knew Mrs. Huo merely wanted the Energy King’s daughter as her daughter-in-law to help her fight against Huo Qichen for the inheritance of the Huo Family wealth.

Mrs. Huo was very stubborn and was highly invested in the family business. Since his birth, she had been training him to defeat Huo Qichen and tightly hold the Huo Family business in his grasp.

At this moment, his mind was entirely occupied with Cheng Bingbing, and he did not expose Mrs. Huo.

"Alright, I understand," Huo Qilin cooperated.

Mrs. Huo finally felt relieved, "Okay, go in now."

Huo Qilin stood at the entrance, suddenly feeling somewhat nervous. His heartbeat quickened, and his palms sweated from nervousness.

After he wiped his sweaty palms with a tissue, he pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

Mrs. Huo, seeing her son almost simultaneously walk into the private room with both hands and feet, finally showed a smile of satisfaction, knowing that being nervous was good—it meant that before even meeting the Energy King’s daughter, she could easily stir his emotions.

This was much better than Huo Qilin being completely indifferent.

She contentedly ordered the bodyguards to stand by the door; if Huo Qilin came out, they were to keep close to him and not let him escape.

Mrs. Huo then requested another private room, deciding to eat something and slowly wait for the outcome.

Unaware of Mrs. Huo’s thoughts, Huo Qilin had already entered the private room.

This was a Chinese restaurant with a particularly pleasant ambiance. Upon entering the private room, the first thing that caught his eye was not the people inside but a light, breathable screen embroidered with mountains and rivers.

Beyond the screen was the dining and meeting area.

As Huo Qilin entered, the Energy King’s daughter was already waiting for him. Her graceful silhouette was cast on the tastefully artistic screen, exuding a dim allure that made one forget the mundane.

He was completely spellbound!

Even through the screen, the person waiting in the restaurant could still feel the intensity of his gaze.

The fervor in his gaze seemed to be alive, causing the temperature on the face of the person behind the screen to rise gradually.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Finally unable to bear it, the person behind the screen covered her mouth and coughed a few times as a hint to him.
