BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70
Because she wanted to show him her most genuine self, she didn’t deliberately conceal how she was currently feeling.
Huo Yusen naturally didn’t overlook the sullen expression on Huo Wu’s face.
It was his fault. He was the one who promised her that he will spend the whole day with her, but now, he broke his promise to her. It was understandable if she felt sad and sullen.
Huo Yusen raised his hand and patted Huo Wu’s head gently, “I will make it up to you next time.” He was much more comfortable and experienced at patting Huo Wu’s head now compared to the beginning. He was initially stiff and awkward when he first patted Huo Wu’s head, but that stiffness and awkwardness disappeared by now.
Did he mean that he will spend more time with her next time?
Huo Wu looked up at him and blinked her bright eyes. She bargained over his promise, “It will take you two days to make it up to me.”
“Two days?”
“That’s right.” Huo Wu nodded her head and counted her fingers, “Brother, you hurt my feelings by not fulfilling your promise. In order to make me forgive you, you will have to spend extra time with me, so my injured feelings can heal.”
Huo Yusen chuckled at her explanation.
She was acting like a spoiled child and this was the first time Huo Yusen had seen his younger sister acting like this.
She was acting like how a 17-year-old girl should be acting.
She was acting a little willfully, childish, and innocent.
Everything was perfect.
It was New Year’s Day after Christmas, and shortly after New Year’s Day will be the Spring Festival. He had a lot of vacation days saved up, so taking two days off shouldn’t be a problem.
With that in mind, Huo Yusen smiled gently. His smile was barely visible, but it still managed to soften his facial features instantly.
He agreed and said, “Okay.”
Although Huo Yusen agreed to her request, Huo Wu didn’t plan to let him leave so easily. She slowly raised her head and stared into Huo Yusen’s eyes. Huo Yusen’s eyes were as deep as the deep sea. Huo Wu deliberately said, “Older brother, it’s fine if you stand me up because it’s just a minor inconvenience, but what will you do if you can’t fulfill your other promises?”
Huo Yusen immediately realized what Huo Wu was referring to.
He promised her the previous night that as long as he lived, he will make sure that she will live a happy life.
As the youngest and only little princess of the Huo Family, she should naturally live a peaceful and joyful life.
“I will fulfill my promise from last night. I will not break it; that promise is valid as long as I’m living.”
His voice was not loud, but those words resonated deeply in Huo Wu’s heart.
Huo Wu knew that Huo Yusen would do his best to fulfill his promise to her. She just needed his assurance since the promise from the previous night and his promise to accompany her the entire day was vastly different in its significance.
One promise held a big significance while the other promise held a slightly less significance.
However, it would’ve been great if he could’ve fulfilled both promises to her.
Huo Wu knew that she was being unreasonable. Her brother had a lot of work to attend to.
But she couldn’t help but be slightly selfish since he was the first person to treat her so well in the two lives she lived.
When she heard his reassurance, all the unhappy and sad feelings mysteriously vanished.
Chen Fang had already arrived in the building by now.
Huo Wu caught a glimpse of Chen Fang’s approaching figure. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Then…brother, goodbye.”
“I’ll see you tonight.”
Chen Fang drove Huo Wu back to the Huo Family villa. When she arrived home, she suddenly realized that she still hadn’t given Huo Yusen the Christmas present she bought for him yesterday.
She blinked her eyes as she tried to come up with a special way to give him the present.
