Chapter 542: Huo Qingze Is in a Relationship Now

The two little kids obediently went back to class, making Mr. Chen breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two children didn’t cry or make a fuss.

The kids at this kindergarten are quite young, and their families are relatively well-off, so they’re a bit spoiled. After just a few days since school started, she’s already well aware of how much these little ones like to cry.

Among these kids, the one she likes the most is definitely Fengfeng.

This kid is quite easygoing, has never cried once in class, and is very enthusiastic about games, listening to the teacher’s words.

The little rascal doesn’t know Mr. Chen’s thoughts; he just knows that Mr. Chen always talks to them gently and plays fun games with them.

By evening, the little rascal came back, happily telling Xu Xue about how his good friend wasn’t mad anymore.

Such a small thing, yet the little rascal was delighted about it for quite a while. Xu Xue chuckled, thinking it was rather nice.

As her belly grew day by day, Xu Xue felt increasingly inconvenienced. The little one is probably lazy, hardly ever kicking, but the baby is definitely healthy.

Yin Yang has been coming back earlier these days because he’s concerned about Xu Xue’s health.

Xu Xue comfortably sat on the sofa, with someone peeling an apple for her, eating happily.

"Mumu, Huo Qingze has invited us to dinner at a restaurant tomorrow," Yin Yang said, feeding the apple to Xu Xue’s mouth, telling her about Huo Qingze’s invitation.

"Oh, why did he think of inviting us? Is there some good news?" Xu Xue asked curiously, surprised, not having heard news of Huo Qingze in a long time.

"Yes, indeed it is good news. He found someone to date; he said he would introduce us tomorrow," Yin Yang replied with a light laugh.

"He found someone? Who is it?" Xu Xue’s interest was piqued; Huo Qingze actually found someone. It shouldn’t be Xu Xue, right? Those two haven’t been in contact at all recently.

"It’s a daughter of a friend of his uncle’s, currently working at the municipality," Yin Yang said with a smile, looking at his wife eagerly waiting to gossip, finding her extremely adorable.

He told her all he knew, understanding Xu Xue’s mindset, that she’s looking forward to watching the drama between Huo Qingze and Xu Xue.

"How is she? Pretty?" Xu Xue looked at Yin Yang with bright eyes.

"Haven’t seen her, but you’ll find out tomorrow," Yin Yang replied with a smile. He indeed hadn’t met her; he’s so busy daily that there isn’t time to meddle in Huo Qingze’s affairs.

"True, I’ll take a good look tomorrow," Xu Xue said with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, Huo Qingze and Xu Xue couldn’t get together after all. I wonder how Xu Xue will feel hearing this?" Xu Xue said somewhat gleefully, already eager to watch the drama unfold.

"What can she feel? Huo Qingze already made it clear to her. Their relationship never meant anything," Yin Yang said with a laugh.

"True, I guess Xu Xue might be upset for quite a while. Huo Qingze’s current status makes it too hard for her to catch up," Xu Xue nodded.

Huo Qingze had never been interested in Xu Xue. If Yin Yang hadn’t been interested in Xu Xue back then, she wouldn’t have ended up with him now. In this marriage, Yin Yang was destined to be the proactive one.

The next morning, Xu Xue put on the maternity dress that Yin Yang had prepared for her long ago, got into a small car, and headed to the restaurant where Xu Minghui had held his wedding banquet before.

Huo Qingze chose the restaurant as the gathering place since it’s not far from Xu Xue’s home.

"We could have just walked here, but we had to drive," Xu Xue muttered, feeling driving there was too showy. Very few people owned cars back then; even bicycles weren’t common, let alone these small cars.

"Your belly is more important; you can’t walk for too long," Yin Yang said seriously.

"Everyone treats me like a porcelain doll," Xu Xue rolled her eyes. Okay, her belly had indeed grown, along with her body’s burden, making things a bit inconvenient.

Following Yin Yang into the private room, they found Huo Qingze and the others already waiting.

Supported by Yin Yang, Xu Xue entered and immediately noticed the woman sitting next to Huo Qingze.

This girl looks really pretty, Xu Xue’s first impression. She’s graceful and elegant, with a gentle smile, talking softly to Huo Qingze. Her voice sweet, reminded Xu Xue of noblewomen from ancient times.

"Xinyao, let me introduce my friends here, Yin Yang and Xu Xue. They’re a couple, and Yin Yang is also my business partner. This is my girlfriend, Yu Xinyao," Huo Qingze said with a smile, introducing them.

"Hello, I’ve heard Ze mention you guys before," Yu Xinyao smiled, shaking hands with them.

"Really? Did he praise us?" Xu Xue boldly asked.

"Of course he did. I didn’t expect you to be even more charming than Ze already said," Yu Xinyao replied with a smile. She seemed approachable and was secretly relieved, having worried initially that Huo Qingze’s friends might be hard to get along with.

Earlier, when she went on the blind date with Huo Qingze, she was hesitant. Unexpectedly, Huo Qingze turned out to be handsome and quite suited her taste, leading her to agree to date him.

He hadn’t disappointed; Huo Qingze is highly capable, attractive, naturally likable among girls.

"That doesn’t sound like something Huo Qingze would say," Yin Yang said with a light laugh. Being Huo Qingze’s partner, they were naturally inclined to give him face.

Huo Qingze gave Yin Yang a sidelong glance, uninterested in his teasing. The years had taught him who Yin Yang was, comprehending it thoroughly. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

They sat together, and Yu Xinyao shared her situation: her father works in the provincial department at a high position, and she is currently a secretary, though quite capable, with promotion prospects being merely a matter of time.

Listening to Yu Xinyao, Xu Xue couldn’t help but glance at Huo Qingze twice more. Could it be he fancied her for her job’s convenience? Previously seeking someone to share company duties, he now found an ally, with her prospective father’s status providing vast future conveniences.

Indeed, Huo Qingze had considered that aspect. Yu Xinyao’s family background and personal abilities weren’t lacking. Although her career wasn’t in business, her role within the system proved beneficial.

Most importantly, Yu Xinyao knew her boundaries. Based on their interactions during their dating period, Huo Qingze found satisfaction in her.
