Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Such a Beauty, It’s a Shame to Leave Her Beside Huo Er

Compared to the ruthless methods Master Huo had previously employed to punish his disobedient subordinates, the two choices currently offered could be considered lenient.

If it were any other member of the Secret Guard Department, they would have long been dismissed, left without a trace, their fate unknown.

The last glimmer of hope hidden deep within Song Qing’s eyes vanished without a trace.

Her compromise had to be more than just an idea; it had to be implemented through her actions.

Song Qing relaxed her physical resistance, her head bowed heavily.

All her defiance disappeared, and now she was only a submissive, obedient, loyal subordinate.

What she saw was limited to the home slipper on the carpet.

Her lowered head slowly approached it.

The foot resting on her shoulder switched to stepping on her.

A little force was applied to her palm, urging Song Qing to move faster.

Song Qing’s face came close to the dark blue slipper.

There was a faint scent of blue wood.

This was Huo Yirong’s scent, a fragrance he carried with him all year round.

Song Qing’s lips were tightly pursed. Although she knew what she had to do next, she couldn’t bring herself to open her mouth.

Huo Yirong looked down at her, his expression contemptuous.

The corner of his mouth curved into a cold sneer revealing a hint of disappointment.

Whatever Song Qing was doing now, it was too late.

Every member of the Huo Family’s Secret Guard was an elite. From the moment they became a guard, they had to ensure absolute loyalty and obedience to their master.

Song Qing was born into a small aristocratic family, unlike Huo Qiang, Huo Chuan, and Huo Zhi, who had been conditioned to servitude from a young age.

Last night, Song Qing’s defiance at the dinner table caused Huo Yirong to lose face in front of everyone, which was a minor issue.

However, if she acted impulsively in a critical moment, that would be a major concern.

If a guard does not possess a heart of unwavering loyalty and obedience, then they are of no value.

Huo Yirong withdrew his foot disinterestedly and called out calmly, "Huo Qiang."

"Present!" came the reply from Huo Qiang, who stepped forward awaiting orders.

Huo Qiang was one of the leaders of the Secret Guard Department, a seasoned veteran well-acquainted with Master Huo’s temperament. He knew that Song Qing’s path as a Hidden Guard had come to an end.

Song Qing was still hesitating when she heard the approaching footsteps of Huo Qiang. With no more time to contemplate, she opened her mouth and bit the slipper that smelled of blue wood.

This sight was witnessed by Huo Yirong, the approaching Huo Zhi, and the other Secret Guards.

The room became eerily silent.

Song Qing’s eyes were void of any emotion, her humiliation and raging indignation were all gone, leaving only a cold, obedient blankness.

She bit the slipper, inching it closer to Huo Yirong’s foot clad in a white sock.

The moment the slipper touched the foot, its owner retracted it abruptly.

Huo Yirong stood up leisurely, his foot in his white sock stepping on the expensive rug.

He looked down at Song Qing.

He could see the obedience on her pale face and in her humble eyes.

Master Huo’s voice was cold as he said, "I will let you off this time. But if this happens again, I will flay you alive and send you back to the Song Family."

Song Qing slowly closed her eyes and gave a slight nod.

With something in her mouth, she couldn’t utter a word.

Song Qing knew she had passed this hurdle.

Being able to stay in the Huo Family was enough for her.

Seeing her now, Huo Yirong noticed she didn’t display the fierceness of the previous night when she defied his instructions to guard her dignity.

She had given up the dignity that a normal person should have.

The Huo Family’s Secret Guards didn’t need such things; they needed to abandon all personal desires to serve the Huo Family.

Huo Yirong sat back down again. His gaze was cold and distant. His voice was cool. "Get out."

Huo Zhi quickly approached Song Qing and whispered, "Sister Qing, let me escort you back to change your clothes."

The Young Mistress is waiting. We cannot afford to delay."

He took off the slipper that Song Qing still had in her mouth.

Kneeling on one knee, she personally put the slipper on Huo Yirong, who was sitting on the sofa.

A disgruntled grunt echoed in the quiet room.

A hint of amusement flashed in Huo Zhi’s eyes.

Master Huo was still his old self, enjoying such games. She and Huo Qiang, Huo Chuan had experienced this countless times in their younger years.

After Huo Zhi had put on the slipper for Master Huo, she helped Song Qing move towards the door.

Huo Yirong, sitting on the sofa, didn’t spare them a glance.

With his mobile phone in hand, he was swiping the screen rapidly, oblivious to whatever was happening on it.

The Western Courtyard.

As Song Qing was changing her clothes in the room, Huo Zhi waited nearby.

Her arms were folded, leaning against the wall with a relaxed and casual posture.

"Sister Qing, as you just started interacting with Master Huo yesterday, you may not fully understand him. As long as his bottom line is not crossed, reasonable bargains can be made. You should not have disobeyed his orders last night."

Song Qing paused for a moment while changing her clothes.

With her back to Huo Zhi, Song Qing’s lips were pressed tightly together.

Yesterday was the first time she had officially accompanied Master Huo to a banquet.

Things would have been fine if she hadn’t encountered that man halfway through.

He Mingjin, the eldest son of the Great Elder of the Cabinet, He Family.

He was quite handsome, however, he had a reputation as a debauched man. He was a true playboy.

When he found out that the Fu Family was hosting Huo Yirong at the Imperial Court Hotel, he purposely dropped by to join.

As the He Family held the highest position in the Cabinet, it naturally had frequent interactions with the Huo Family.

He Mingjin was quite familiar with Huo Yirong, having had a fair amount of communication in the past.

Spotting a new short-haired beauty by Huo Yirong, He Mingjin joked, "Such a beauty is wasted by your side, Master Huo."

His eyes were fixed on Song Qing, who stood behind Huo Yirong.

Huo Yirong responded with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, "Do you like her? Would you like me to give her to you?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qing made a big mistake.

During the ten years she spent in Huo Family’s Secret Guard Department, she had served directly under Huo Yirong for only a day.

As soon as she heard that he intended to give her away, she immediately knelt on one knee.

"Master Huo, I do not wish this."

At that moment, the eldest son of the Fu Family and the fourth daughter were present. What Song Qing had done was a direct affront to Huo Yirong.

Even He Mingjin was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Song Qing’s reaction.

What followed was that Huo Yirong gave Song Qing a brief glance and told He Mingjin flatly, "You can have her."

He then decided to give Song Qing to He Mingjin in a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, He Mingjin was overjoyed. He lifted Song Qing from the floor and held her in his arms.

He planted a kiss on her neck in the presence of everyone and even took a gentle bite.

Song Qing bottled up her feelings until she could no longer hold back and retaliated.

Although He Mingjin was known for his debauchery, he also had some martial skills, and they were not too shabby.

He started fighting with Song Qing in the room without noticing Huo Yirong’s increasingly sullen expression.

Drunk by that point, Huo Yirong watched as Song Qing threw a punch at He Mingjin and shouted harshly, "Song Qing, do you want to die!"

Song Qing halted all her actions, standing stiffly on the spot.

The eldest son of the Fu Family saw the situation spiraling out of control, and decided to end the dinner party there and then.

Huo Yirong had drunk a lot and rested at the Huo Mansion after he returned.

It was Song Qing who served him until he fell asleep.
