After returning to Shengjing from country y, Han Xian has been paying close attention to Tang Qiaoer's activities.
As a result, Shen was shocked and the answer he received turned out to be: The young lady's news has not been updated.
She is still busy with various large and small affairs in the hotel every day, and she has never even been out of Shengjing.
Shen Jingjue was sitting in the office, looking at the city scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, with doubts in his eyebrows.
Seeing that Adawang's wedding is getting closer, is she not anxious at all? Or has she secretly given up on Alexa and is planning other ideas?
The incident at Rose Manor last time, the arrest of Qin Shu, and the arrest in Baixing City made Shen shocked to realize that this upright man was actually slightly afraid of a little woman like Tang Qiao'er.
To be fair, where are the men who only start to be henpecked after getting divorced?
At this time, the internal phone rang, and Shen Jingjue pressed the speakerphone.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Huo is here to see you." The secretary said respectfully.
"Let him in."
As soon as Huo Ruxi entered the CEO's office, she just followed her home. She lay down on the sofa comfortably and lazily, almost taking off her shoes to get on the kang.
"How many times do you want me to tell you that you are not allowed to come to me without permission? Do you think I am as idle as you?" Shen Jingjue didn't even raise his eyelids, but lowered his eyebrows to sign the document.
"Tsk, tsk, I haven't been summoned yet...Who do you think you are? Yongzheng or Qianlong?
But don’t mention it, my mother watched a palace fight drama a while ago, and I think you and that Qianlong are indeed a bit similar, both are heartless pigs." Huo Ruxi crossed her legs and laughed mockingly.
"If you have something to do, get out of here." Shen Jingjue clicked on his signature pen and straightened his waist.
"How many days will it be until Zhaozhao comes back? My mother invites you to my house for dinner."
"I've been a little busy lately. The adawang matter has not been settled yet, so I'm really not in the mood for a dinner party."
"Tell me about you, how long has it been since you last seen your godmother? My mother said she would cook for you as soon as she came back from recuperation abroad. She is so disrespectful to you!"
Huo Ruxi curled her lips and said, "Thanks to my mother, she still remembers your favorite dish and all the ingredients are ready. She would be so disappointed if you didn't come."
Shen Jingjue pursed his lips and said warmly: "Okay, I'll go."
"Hey, that's right! Zhaozhao is so happy to know that you are coming. Don't think you are not popular in your family. In our Huo family, you are the favorite of the group!" Huo Ruxi immediately brightened up when she saw that he agreed.
Shen Jingjue suddenly remembered what happened in the concert hall that night, and Huo Zhaozhao's overly intimate behavior towards him, and suddenly felt both psychological and physical discomfort.
Back then, he held Huo Zhaozhao's hand while walking in the park because Huo Zhaozhao was only ten years old at that time, and she was still a little girl with cute breasts. Moreover, she was the sister of his best brother, so he treated her as his sister.
But now, although she is young, she is also an adult. She may be ignorant, but he cannot be unreasonable.
So he thought about it for a moment, and just opened his thin lips: "Zhaozhao, she..."
At this time, a knock on the door interrupted his words.
"Enter."
"Mr. Shen! You asked me to check the relationship between the young lady and Xie Jinhuan, as well as the relationship between the Xie family and the Tang family!" Han Xian walked in with his signature loud voice, holding the information.
Huo Ruxi blinked: "..."
Shen Jingjue almost broke the pen, and the hall turned black: "..."
"Uh... Shen, Mr. Shen, you have guests here. Well, I'll take my leave first while you chat..." Han Xian smiled dryly and stepped back step by step.
"Tsk, I'm here now, and I'm not an outsider."
Huo Ruxi curled her lips and picked up an orange from the fruit plate. While peeling it, she glanced sideways at Shen Jingjue, whose expression was not good, "What? After all, you still felt unwilling to accept the man and chose to fall in love with him?"
"Eat your orange, you shouldn't ask, don't ask." Shen Jingjue lowered his eyes, but his heart skipped an inexplicable jump.
"Why shouldn't I ask? I was the one who chased Qiao Qiao first, and both you and that pretty boy with weak kidneys had to lean back!" Huo Ruxi threw a piece of orange meat into her mouth and chewed it hard.
"You chased me first, what's the use?"
Shen Jing felt the secret possessiveness flashing in his dark eyes. He tightened his thin lips and gritted his teeth, "She married me after all, but she can never belong to you."
"Damn it, you, a divorced cousin, are showing off to me!"
Huo Ruxi really wanted to throw the orange in her hand at his face, her eyes widened, "You have the ability to leave Qiao Qiao, but why don't you have the ability to bring her back? What's the use of sending A Xian out to investigate these nonsense?
By the time you finish whining here, she and Xie Jinhuan's children will be together, right?"
Shen Jingjue's heart trembled, but he still said coldly: "Who told you that I want to pursue Tang Qiao'er. I checked their relationship because Tang Qiao'er robbed one of my projects again, and Xie Jin Huan has cooperation. This may affect some of Shen's subsequent arrangements."
"Haha, okay, you can tell me what you mean. I'm so stubborn all over." Huo Ruxi chuckled and threw an orange peel at him.
Shen Jingjue stretched out his hand to catch it, his handsome face turned white with anger, and he crushed the orange peel.
Han Xian tried his best to hold back his laughter and said with a tight expression: "Mr. Shen, the young lady and Xie Jinhuan don't seem to have any special relationship.
In the past three years, the young madam has been by your side, and she has no one else in her eyes except you. In the past ten years, I did not find out that the young madam and Mr. Xie had any interaction."
Shen Jingjue's face brightened slightly after hearing this.
It seems that Tang Qiaoer has not been captured by Xie Jinhuan yet. It should be just the boy's wishful thinking.
"But I found out a few days ago that Xie Dong took his two unmarried sons, Xie Jinchen and Xie Jinhuan, to Haimen, probably to visit Dong Tang.
Considering the relationship between the Tang family and the Xie family... Could it be that Mr. Xie intends for his two sons to marry into the Tang family?"
Marriage?!
Shen Jingjue and Huo Ruxi were both shocked!
Similar age, well-matched, childhood sweethearts, family friends...
No matter how you look at it, it’s a match made in heaven and a perfect fit!
An earth-shaking sense of crisis swept over Shen in an instant, unstoppable and inevitable.
"It's over, bbq."
Huo Ruxi looked meaningfully at Shen Jingjue's slightly red eyes, and laughed frivolously, "Even if the man named Xie rushes to fall in love with my goddess, as the saying goes, a virtuous girl is afraid of entangling her husband.
Then Mr. Xie put down his dignity and went to the house to propose marriage in person. The father and son did a combo of punches, and Mr. Tang kept putting more pressure. It's hard to say whether Qiao Qiao would agree."
"..." A certain man's face turned cold as snow.
"Ah haha, oops, it won't be long before you have to attend your ex-wife's wedding. With your divorced relationship, why don't you be more casual?" Huo Ruxi teased him while eating an orange segment.
An inexplicable fire shot up in his throat, and Shen Jingjue's voice was obviously hoarse when he spoke, "Impossible. There is no way Tang Qiao'er will follow the family's arrangements and choose a business marriage!
It is even more impossible for her to fall in love with Xie Jinhuan. How can a woman who has lived with lions dance with wolves?"
"Oh~ It's so sour!"
"Huo Ruxi!" Shen was shocked and felt his eyebrows pressed against his eyes.
"I said oranges are so sour. Why are you so anxious?"

In the evening, Shen Jingjue followed Huo Ruxi to Huo's house as promised.
Although he is already very familiar with the Huo family and has recognized Mrs. Huo as his godmother since he was a child, he still has all the necessary etiquette and has prepared expensive gifts for his elders, which are all high-quality tonics that are beneficial to the body.
Mrs. Huo also felt sorry for Shen Jingjue. The table was full of delicious dishes, 80% of which were Shen Jingjue's favorites and 20% of which were Huo Zhaozhao's favorites.
"Mom, your partiality is too exaggerated!"
Huo Ruxi clung to her chopsticks and curled her lips dejectedly, "You turned a deaf ear to the few dishes I asked you to cook before going out. They say that you forget your mother when you marry a wife. You have Ajue and forget your biological child. It's too embarrassing. Heartbroken!"
"You have been eating my food for more than 20 years. It's hard for Ah Jue to be around me all the time. Of course I have to treat him well. Don't compare."
Mrs. Huo was very happy when she saw Shen Jingjue, her eyes were very kind, "Ah Jue, these are your favorite foods, eat more."
"Thank you godmother." Shen Jingjue responded with a smile and picked up the chopsticks.
"Second brother, eat more!"
Huo Zhaozhao deliberately chose a seat next to Shen Jingjue and sat down. He used his chopsticks to pick up the food, "I personally cooked this dish and this one for you, try it quickly!"
However, her chopsticks didn't even touch Shen Jingjue's plate, but were blocked in mid-air by his hand, making her look beautiful.
