Chapter 26, Peeling Oranges

Xuan Ruoxi looked at the man from near to far, and had to admit that he was really a good-looking person. The nobility between his eyebrows was like an emperor's majesty. She couldn't help but compare him with Emperor Wen, and was surprised to find that between them

The demeanor between them is somewhat similar.

It's not the external similarity, but the innate bearing and demeanor. The awe-inspiring righteousness between his eyebrows is worth more than thousands of gold and silver. Such a man belongs to the world. Even if there is love, he will not be alone. She will not have delusions.

, and will not repeat the same mistakes.

"Long wait." Huo Jiyun apologized as soon as he got in the car.

"No, I just arrived." Xuan Ruoxi hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

"Let's go." A deep and rich baritone echoed in the car. Xuan Ruoxi took a deep breath. Although they were polite and distant from each other, she still felt oppressive. Huo Jiyun looked at her calm and gentle profile.

, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

He didn't think that what he suddenly said during the day was thoughtless. He just didn't want to waste time. If you like it, you should say it out, and if you have a goal, you should strike first. This is his consistent style. He is bound to win Xuan Ruoxi.

The car was speechless all the way, and Sensen turned on the audio, which played melodious pure music. They were all relatively famous international music.

"Does Ruoxi like music?" Information shows that she is a talented woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"well enough."

"Besides being in the orphanage, what else do you do? Or what do you like?"

Since you want to get her, you must understand her preferences.

"I don't have any other hobbies. I just read a lot. In my free time, I read books in the library." She is still very busy and cherishes her time.

Most of the children needed company, and she didn't have time to learn too much. Skills and the like were all learned by the deity when she was a child, and she also came here with some skills and knowledge from her previous life. Thinking back carefully, she hadn't played the piano or played music for a long time.

Composed and sang poems.

The car soon arrived at its destination, the Huo family villa. Xuan Ruoxi got out of the car first and nodded and smiled at Sensen who opened the door for her: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Huo Jiyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and glanced at the gentle Sensen from the corner of his dark eyes. Then when he met Mr. Huo's eyes, he immediately put away his smile. Just kidding, he didn't dare to do anything arrogant.

"Ruoxi is here, right?" As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mr. Huo's angry voice.

"Yes, hello, Grandpa Huo! Long time no see. How are you?"

"My body is still the same, but I miss you a little bit. I can't help but ask Ji Yun to pick you up. Why do I see you losing a lot of weight? Did you not eat well after the death of Dean Xuan?

"Master Huo's care reminded Xuan Ruoxi of her father.

"Thank you Grandpa Huo for your concern. I'm fine."

"Okay, okay, sit down first and eat some fruit. This is from our own orchard. It is fresh and pollution-free. It is completely green food. When you go back later, take some with you."

"Then I will first thank Grandpa Huo on behalf of the children."

"Hey, what are you thanking? It's strange." The old man waved his hand and looked at his grandson. Seeing that his eyes were always looking at Xuan Ruoxi, he smiled secretly in his heart.

"Ji Yun, peel an orange for Ruo Xi." The old man seized the opportunity to encourage his grandson.

Huo Jiyun picked up an orange with his slender fingers and peeled it slowly. The peel of the orange was very thin. Xuan Ruoxi thought he had to use a knife to cut it, but unexpectedly Huo Jiyun peeled one in two or three times. He handed it to her and she took it hesitantly.

.

He said: "Thank you." He blushed and ate slowly under the expectant eyes of the old man.

It is fresh and tender in the mouth, moist with juice, not sour and slightly sweet. The taste is unexpectedly delicious.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" The old man smiled kindly. Xuan Ruoxi nodded and said: "It's delicious, it's delicious." The taste is really good.

"As long as you like it, let Ji Yun peel a few more for you. His fingers are long and strong, so he is perfect for peeling oranges." Huo Ji Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was no impatience on his face.

Watching Xuan Ruoxi eating the oranges he peeled, her red lips gently bit into the juicy oranges.

There was actually a hint of heat in his heart. He swallowed unconsciously. In order to cover up his emotions, he picked up another orange and started to peel it and eat it.

A glint flashed in the old man's shrewd eyes. Hey, boy, just pretend.

Xuan Ruoxi finished eating one orange, but there were already several peeled oranges on the table. She glanced at Huo Jiyun sheepishly and saw that he lowered his head and said nothing. He was still peeling the oranges on his hands!

"Master Huo, that's enough. I can't finish eating."

"It's okay, eat slowly. Or - I'll help you eat."

"Yes, yes, isn't fruit good for appetizing before meals? Ruoxi, please eat more and let Ji Yun eat with you. I'll go and see how the kitchen is preparing. Mother Wu, how long will it take for dinner?" The old man was interested.

If they leave, let them develop on their own young.

As soon as the old man left, Xuan Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Jiyun looked up at her, peeled off the orange peel in his hand, and put it directly into his mouth. Xuan Ruoxi stared blankly at him eating the whole orange one by one, subconsciously

Swallowed.

Suddenly she realized that she was actually watching him eat, and a rush of heat surged up in her cheeks. Good-looking men always eat so temptingly. Shocked by her bold idea, Xuan Ruoxi suddenly felt nervous.

Open your eyes.

"Don't be nervous. Grandpa is easy to get along with. He likes you very much." Huo Jiyun seemed to understand her panic.

"I'm very grateful." Apart from that, she didn't know what to say. Huo Jiyun just nodded lightly and concentrated on eating the orange. Xuan Ruoxi also started to eat the second one in order to cover up her embarrassment.

Huo Jiyun quickly finished another one, stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands, and you eat slowly." When he walked away, Xuan Ruoxi's tense body leaned against the sofa. The two grandsons looked harmless.

, but it always made her feel nervous.

It may be because of the opposite sex. She was once a queen and the head of the harem. She could only bow and kowtow to people and things. Except for the emperor and his son, there was no other man close to her. After coming here, she not only faced many

Men sometimes have to face it alone or in groups.

It's okay if there are more people. You can have an excuse to go away, but it's different if there are less people. The Huo family's grandson is the man she has faced the most since she came here.

"Miss Xuan, dinner is ready. Master asked me to invite you to the restaurant." It was Wu Ma.

"Okay, thank you." When we arrived at the restaurant, the old man was already sitting at the head table. Huo Jiyun also washed his hands and came to the dining table.

"The last time I came here, it was a family dinner. There were no outsiders today. Ruoxi, you don't have to be polite. Just eat more of what you like."

"Okay Grandpa Huo."

"Ji Yun, sit next to Ruoxi and bring her some food." The old man gave the order, and Huo Jiyun naturally obeyed.

"Our cooks are very good at cooking. You can eat more. This will make grandpa happy." Huo Jiyun suddenly approached Xuan Ruoxi and spoke, which made Xuan Ruoxi's heart beat faster for a moment. Looking at more and more dishes in his bowl,

She felt like running away.

"Thank you Mr. Huo, I'd better do it myself." I won't be able to finish it.

"It's okay. I use serving chopsticks. If you don't like to eat something, you can pick it out." Huo Jiyun behaved very well. The old man was very satisfied with it and nodded while smiling.

"Why are you still called Mr. Huo? Ji Yun, didn't you tell Ruoxi your nickname?"

"Grandpa!" Huo Jiyun was a little dumbfounded. Grandpa Huo pretended not to see his grandson's warning look, and said to Xuan Ruo with a smile, "My Ji Yun's nickname is easy to remember, so it's Huo Huo!" Huo Huo!

Xuan Ruoxi was shocked to remember that she heard Yu Shaoqing call him that that day. It turned out to be his nickname. Subconsciously, she turned to look at him and saw that there was something helpless on his handsome face. She couldn't help but sympathize with him, but he was betrayed by his grandfather.

Already.

"My name is Master Huo—Ji Yun!" Huo Huo! Even if she knew, she couldn't say it out loud.

"Okay, I agree!" Huo Jiyun immediately agreed with a smile, but a smile of success flashed in the old man's eyes.

There was still an amiable smile on his face.

"That's right. From now on, you don't want to call me young master. Just give me your first name. It's so kind and friendly."

Xuan Ruoxi was really embarrassed. The smile in Mr. Huo's eyes made her want to run away.

After dinner, they started chatting.

"Ruoxi, are you very busy at the orphanage?"

"It's okay." It's still manageable for now.

"I heard that you often go to fundraisers?"

"Yes, most of the children in our Cheif Home are disabled children. In order to provide them with effective treatment, many aspects must be considered."

"What's missing? Just tell Ji Yun and let him help you."

"Grandpa Huo, you and Mr. Huo, Ji Yun, have been very helpful to me. I'm sorry to trouble you so much. I can take care of the children's affairs." The more you help, the more you owe.

"What does that matter? We will all be a family from now on -"

"Ahem! Grandpa, is it time for you to take medicine?" Huo Jiyun interrupted the old man, and the eyes of the grandson and grandpa collided - Huo Jiyun: Grandpa, didn't you say three months? Let me do it myself! Mr. Huo -

Blink, I got it, then take care of yourself and don’t let me lose the chain!

"Grandpa Huo, you must take your medicine on time." Before Xuan Ruoxi left, she said to the old man Huo who sent him off.

"I know, Ruoxi, you should always come and keep company with this old man like me." The old man said pitifully, arousing Xuan Ruoxi's sympathy.

"Okay, I will come. Grandpa Huo, see you next time."

"Goodbye Ruoxi!" Huo Jiyun drove Xuan Ruoxi back by himself.

After watching them leave, the old man put away his kind smile, and a shrewd and wise look appeared in his eyes.

"Old man, are you really going to recruit Miss Xuan?" The housekeeper Lao Fu has also been following Mr. Huo for half his life.

He is also an old man who has watched Huo Jiyun grow up.

"what do you think?"

"Of course that's good. I've watched Ruoxi grow up, and I can vouch for her personality. She's absolutely full of love, and her appearance, temperament, and knowledge are a perfect match for Mr. Huo. Apart from her family background——

There is nothing else to choose from.”

"You guarantee that I will not be dissatisfied. I, Huo, never care about family status or anything else. As long as you have good character, I will like you."

"Look, Mr. Huo himself——"

"Ha! Of course the boy himself likes it. Otherwise, no matter how hard I force him, he won't obediently agree so quickly."

"That's true."

"I'm guessing, maybe I still pity her -"

"Does the old man think Ruoxi won't agree?"

"There is too much alienation and vigilance in this child's eyes, which makes people feel distressed."

"Then the old man thinks, three months is enough?"

"Then it depends on whether Ji Yun is really enlightened." Women chase men, and men chase women. According to the usual situation, Ji Yun's temperament is not very pleasing. But his identity can be beaten

one slice.

Unfortunately, for Ruoxi, status does not seem to attract her much, and it is precisely because of this that he likes her. A person who is not tempted by status, money, fame and fortune is rare in today's society. It can even be said that

No.
