"Grandpa Huo, he's very kind and nice." That's the side you see, Huo Jiyun silently added in his heart.
"You should consider my proposal during the day." The car fell into silence.
After a while, Xuan Ruoxi plucked up the courage and said tactfully: "Master Huo, I am very grateful for your love, but right now, I don't want to think about that. I'm sorry."
"Three months!"
"Ah!" She looked at him in confusion.
"My grandfather gave me three months to pursue you." Xuan Ruoxi was speechless for a moment. It can also be said that she was shocked. What did the grandfather and grandson think?
Isn't the important thing about marriage that they like each other? For a big chaebol like them, there are many rich people to choose from, so why is it her? Xuan Ruoxi is puzzled. Could it be that she is too lucky?
"My grandfather is very demanding, and he is very discerning in choosing his granddaughter-in-law. He likes you because you make him feel good." What about you? Don't modern people pay attention to free love? It's not like the matchmaker's words in ancient times.
, parents’ orders. Xuan Ruoxi couldn’t help but think in her heart.
"Master Huo, are you willing to accept a loveless marriage?" Xuan Ruoxi bit her lips and said.
Huo Jiyun actually laughed.
"A loveless marriage? Ruoxi, why do you think we will have a loveless marriage?" Isn't it? Does he like her? Xuan Ruoxi didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to answer casually. She looked at the atmosphere in front of her silently.
He didn't dare to breathe. It was very warm inside the carriage, but Xuan Ruoxi felt cold.
Not hearing what she said, Huo Jiyun was not in a hurry and went all the way to the entrance of Xifu Yuan. Xuan Ruoxi wanted to get out of the car, but his arm was pulled!
"Wait! This is my gift to you. Please accept it." A gift box suddenly appeared. Xuan Ruoxi was stunned and did not pick it up immediately.
"This is my first time giving a gift to a girl. Please don't refuse. You will lose face." Xuan Ruoxi looked at him in astonishment and finally accepted the gift box. Huo Jiyun's eyes were very serious and did not look like he was joking at all.
Xuan Ruoxi took the box, but she felt admiration for him in her heart. She gave him a gift without any expression on her face. It was the first time she met him.
"Thank you, I will return the gift." After saying this, I regretted it! This is not a gift to each other or an exchange of love tokens.
Huo Jiyun smiled.
"Then I look forward to your return gift. Goodbye." Returning to Xifuyuan, Xuan Ruoxi put the gifts away first, and then went to the children's rooms to check. Xiaoding graduated and did not rush to find a job, but lived in
Xuan Ruoxi considered letting her work here and providing a salary.
"Sister Ruoxi, you are back."
"Are they okay?"
"Well, some have fallen asleep and some haven't yet. But it's almost done."
"Thank you, Xiao Ding. I feel more at ease with you here."
"Sister Ruoxi, don't say that. It's too late for me to thank you. If you and the old dean hadn't taken me in, I don't know if I would have graduated." Xiao Ding is a country girl. Her family background is not very good, but she is a good person.
But she has a kind heart and is diligent and hard-working. Dean Xuan supported her and gave her a good college career. For this, she also knows how to be grateful.
"Xiao Ding, I plan to hire you to work in the welfare home. I wonder if you are willing? Of course, if you have a suitable job in the future, I will not interfere with your stay. As for remuneration, I will follow the labor law.
According to the relevant regulations, we will buy insurance for you.”
"Sister Ruoxi, please stop talking. I promise you. I am willing to stay and help you. Besides, I also like children, and they are already familiar with me. I would not be worried if someone else comes here.
.As for the treatment, you can give it as you see fit, food and accommodation are already included. I don’t need insurance, and I don’t need to follow any labor laws.”
"Okay, I'll sign the contract for you tomorrow."
"Sister Ruoxi, don't worry. I will tell my family. My parents, grandparents, and I must agree. They know that Xifuyuan is kind to me. I promise that Xifuyuan will be my home from now on. Sister Ruoxi,
You are my sister."
"Okay, you will be my sister from now on." Xuan Ruoxi really likes this girl.
They embraced each other and were filled with joy.
After that day, Xuan Ruoxi received messages or calls from Huo Jiyun every day.
Huo Jiyun is very busy, but he still takes time to visit the orphanage and even goes on a date with her for dinner.
Just like now, they were sitting in the restaurant, still silent to each other while eating, until the CD was played, they looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
"Are you full?"
"I am full."
"Today is the eighth day, the fifth time we have met since the last time we agreed." Xuan Ruoxi didn't understand what he meant. It wasn't until she saw some hint in her eyes that she remembered it belatedly.
Her face gradually turned red, "Uh, um, I'm not ready yet." Huo Jiyun looked at her embarrassed expression. He didn't laugh or look away, but waited with his hands clasped together. Like a lawyer who was negotiating, it seemed that
Waiting for what the witnesses have to say.
"I'll be ready tomorrow." Xuan Ruoxi was like a prisoner waiting to be surrendered.
"Okay then, you can go directly to Huo's Building tomorrow. We'll stop here tonight and I'll take you back." Huo Jiyun said and he stood up.
"Oh, okay." Xuan Ruoxi quickly stood up, feeling very embarrassed as she failed to do what she promised.
Huo Jiyun looked at her indifferently and buttoned up his suit with his slender fingers. His tall figure made Xuan Ruoxi feel depressed.
Is he angry?
After sending Xuan Ruoxi back to the orphanage, Huo Jiyun returned to the villa.
The old man has already rested, and only Wu Ma is waiting for his return in the living room.
"Master, you are back."
"Well, Mother Wu, good night."
"Good night, young master." She is a live-in nanny and has been with the Huo family for seven or eight years.
Huo Jiyun slowly went upstairs and walked into his bedroom. He went to the bathroom first and took a shower. Then he came to the computer desk in his pajamas. He turned on the alarm and was stunned for the first time. In his mind was Xuan Ruoxi's helpless and depressed expression just now.
. I couldn't help but frown, was he too close to me? Or - too ungrateful. This can't be blamed on him, he has never been exposed to love.
Growing up, he was either studying or studying. When he was in school, some girls chased him and wrote him love letters, but he never cared about them. First, he felt that he had no time to fall in love. Second, he felt that he had no time to fall in love.
Come on, strict tutoring prevents him from falling in love prematurely.
He has never blushed or even fluttered when facing a girl.
After his parents left, he closed himself off even more. In his life, apart from going to school, he would read books and study, or go abroad for further study. Or he would accompany his grandfather in business. In recent years, it was not that there were no women around him. Unfortunately, he kept them at a distance.
As for the old man, he was worried that he was too pure-hearted and not close to women.
It’s not like he’s never been on a blind date, and it’s not uncommon for him to confess his love to female colleagues or female friends. It’s just that he was focused on work and had no intention of falling in love. There was a time when Mr. Huo thought that he and Yu Shaoqing had a hobby, so he came here specially.
Yu Shaoqing confronted him face to face. Fortunately, Yu Shaoqing was a well-known playboy. Mr. Huo felt at ease.
As time went by, I saw that I was almost thirty years old and still didn’t have a girlfriend.
Mr. Huo couldn't wait any longer, and just in time, Xuan Ruoxi appeared.
It couldn't be called love at first sight, nor could it be said that she was very moved. In short, she was the first woman that he didn't dislike, and she was also the first woman that made him curious and willing to give it a try.
She is very beautiful, not the kind of coquettish beauty, nor the kind of ostentatious beauty, but the kind of fresh and refined beauty that is unforgettable. A girl in her twenties has the beauty that a woman in her thirties and forties should have.
She has a mature charm. The calmness between her brows is just right. In addition to her external temperament and beautiful appearance, she is also a kind woman at heart. There is an indescribable and indescribable magnanimity in her every move.
!
He was curious about why she had such magnanimity at such a young age. The more curious he became, the more he wanted to get closer to her. For the first time, he heard the sound of his own heartbeat towards a member of the opposite sex.
Xuan Ruoxi, will you be my destined partner? What gift will she give him? And has she read his gift? Her heart moved randomly, and as soon as the thought came out, the message on her phone was sent.
Xuan Ruoxi had just finished taking a shower and went to bed when she heard her phone vibrating. When she opened it, she saw a message from Huo Jiyun.
[Ruoxi, do you like the gift I gave you?] Gift! Xuan Ruoxi got out of bed to look for the gift. When she came back that night, she seemed to have casually put it in the cabinet in the living room. She hadn’t seen what it was because she was in a hurry.
I accidentally twisted my ankle while walking up the stairs.
"Hiss!" A sharp pain came from his ankle.
She covered her ankle and rubbed it a few times, then hurriedly looked for a gift.
Finally I found the gift box in the cabinet. I cursed myself for being careless and didn't even look at it! Fortunately, he didn't ask me these past few days, otherwise I would really be sorry for him.
Returning to the room, I opened the gift box and found a watch. It had a sapphire blue strap and movement, a few small crystals embedded in the movement, and silver long and short hour and second hands. It was novel in style and you could tell it was valuable at a glance.
She quickly sent a message to reply: [Master Huo, your gift is so valuable, I shouldn’t accept it.] After the message was sent, she leaned on the bed and looked at her watch blankly. It was very beautiful and unique, and she wore it.
On her wrists, the fair complexion looked dazzling.
A woman likes her appearance. As a woman, she naturally likes beautiful things. As a queen in her previous life, she never saw any rare treasures. In modern times, she is even more impressed by modern design concepts.
There were no watches at that time. To tell the time, you had to rely on the light or the calendar left by your ancestors. The Five Elements and Bagua, astronomy and geography were passed down from generation to generation, and everything was different. There is no bad thing, only better.
Huo Jiyun looked at the time. Fifteen minutes had passed since he sent a message and received a reply from Xuan Ruoxi. Obviously, she must not have looked at the gift before. She only said the watch was expensive when she saw it tonight! This woman, he felt that his heartbeat was speeding up again.
Little by little, my curiosity about her gradually turned into exploration!
