"Xiangxiang, I heard from the housekeeper that you went to my house a few days ago?" When Ji Xiangxiang felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, Huo Jiyun finally spoke. He was happy in his heart and had a bright smile on his face.
"Yes, Grandpa Huo also asked me to pick a lot of oranges. When I took them home, my father said that he would make orange honey himself."
Ji Xiangxiang was probably too excited and didn't notice Huo Jiyun's expression being unhappy.
"Really? Your father didn't say anything else?"
"No! Oh, yes, he also said that he wants me to accompany Grandpa Huo more. He said that you are busy, and Grandpa Huo is the only one at home, so he is quite lonely." Ji Xiangxiang said obediently, her eyes full of love.
However, Huo Jiyun raised his eyebrows with a serious expression. The waiter on the side felt that the handsome brother was not very happy. He looked at the girl with cold eyes, but the little girl was stunned.
"Please go to the lobby and find my assistant to pay the bill." Huo Jiyun said this to the waiter.
"Okay sir." The waiter went out immediately.
"Brother Huo, thank you for inviting me to dinner today. I'm really happy-" Before Kai Xing could say anything, Ji Xiangxiang was interrupted by Huo Jiyun's gesture.
"Xiangxiang, how old are you today?" Ji Xiangxiang didn't understand why Huo Jiyun asked her age, but she still answered shyly.
"Brother Huo, I am twenty-three this year." After saying this, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"We are relatives. Your father is my uncle, and you are my sister. I welcome you as a guest at my house. But, I said, don't be too casual. Do you remember what happened at the last dinner?"
Ji Xiangxiang seemed to feel Huo Jiyun's unhappiness only at this moment.
Biting my lip, I began to feel uneasy, and then I suddenly remembered the live broadcast in the orchard that day.
"Brother Huo - I was just having fun that day." Huo Jiyun looked at her silently, as if to say: It seems you are not stupid.
"You have to have fun in a certain way. If you position yourself at my house and attract unwarranted people to watch, that shouldn't be the case."
"Brother Huo, what do you mean by this? I don't understand." Ji Xiangxiang's eyes widened, her face full of innocence.
Huo Jiyun took out his mobile phone and sent a few words quickly. Soon, Sensen opened the door and came in.
"Master Huo." Huo Jiyun nodded to him, took out the tablet and placed it in front of Ji Xiangxiang.
"Ms. Ji, these are the sequelae left behind after your live broadcast. You can take a look."
"Look slowly, I'm going to the bathroom." Huo Jiyun stood up, exchanged a look with Sensen and walked out of the box door.
"Sorry, Sister Zhang, I need to go to the bathroom."
"Ruoxi, are you okay? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, I'm fine." After three rounds of drinking, Xuan Ruoxi inevitably drank half a glass of red wine. Her cheeks turned red and her head started to feel dizzy. She didn't want to lose her composure, so she made an excuse to let herself out.
Breathing. Just when she walked outside the door and rested against the pillar, a tall figure walked towards her.
As soon as Huo Jiyun came out of the bathroom, he was surprised to find Xuan Ruoxi leaning against the pillar. To his surprise, the person had already come to her.
"Ruoxi, why are you here?" Xuan Ruoxi, who was still taking a deep breath, saw clearly who was coming and was also surprised.
"Master Huo!"
"Have you been drinking?" Huo Jiyun squinted slightly and saw that her face was red and her eyes were blurred. He felt a little unhappy and pursed his firm lips. He grabbed her arm and helped her lean towards him. Xuan Ruoxi was moved by his
His eyes widened in fright at his actions, and when he raised his head to meet his deep eyes, he suddenly became panicked in his heart.
"Who are you going to eat with?" he asked from above, his voice was low and contained some heart-stopping charm.
"It was with some community leaders."
"Oh, leader!" Huo Jiyun raised his thick eyebrows and reached out to hold her shoulders.
"What leader? Take me to see him." He wants to see anyone who dares to let his woman drink. Huo Jiyun hugged Xuan Ruoxi to the box where she was eating in a steady manner.
When they appeared together, everyone in the box stopped talking and laughing.
The first one to react was Sister Gu.
"Ruoxi, who is this?" Before Xuan Ruoxi could say anything, Huo Jiyun introduced himself.
"Huo Jiyun - Ruoxi's boyfriend." As soon as these words came out, Xuan Ruoxi's face turned redder. Sister Gu opened her mouth wide and looked at Huo Jiyun blankly.
Also present today was the blind date she specially found for Xuan Ruoxi. Knowing that Xuan Ruoxi was thin-faced, she didn't tell her directly at first. It turned out that she had a boyfriend, and he was such an outstanding man.
"Huo Jiyun! Is this Mr. Huo from the Huo Group?" Some young people present recognized Huo Jiyun, and they all whispered to each other in surprise.
"Yes, I am Huo Jiyun from the Huo Group, because my girlfriend is a heavy drinker. So - I took her home first. Tonight's bill is mine. Leaders - please use it slowly." He said seriously.
After that, without waiting for others to come to their senses, he hugged Xuan Ruoxi and left. Only when the people left did the people in the box react, and the atmosphere instantly exploded.
"Xiao Zhang, what's going on?"
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Huo here. I've seen him on the news before. He's so handsome, isn't he?"
"It turns out the rumors are true." In the box at the other end, Ji Xiangxiang burst into tears after watching the video.
"Miss Ji, Mr. Huo said it. This time it is your unintentional mistake. If there is another time, then your account will be blocked directly." Sensen looked at Ji Xiangxiang who kept crying, and there was no sympathy in his heart.
Because it's not worth it.
Some people just like to be pretentious and try to make delusions when it's not their own. There is no woman I haven't seen around Huo Jiyun, and someone like Ji Xiangxiang is just a child.
A message rang on his cell phone. Sensen took it out and saw that it was Mr. Huo.
[I have gone back beforehand. You call a car to take Miss Ji home.] Uh, Mr. Huo is leaving first? Although it was a bit baffling, Sensen was very experienced and ordered a car directly.
"Miss Ji, Mr. Huo said that he has something to do at the moment and asked me to take you back." Ji Xiangxiang was still hesitating how to explain. When she heard that Mr. Huo had left, she breathed a sigh of relief, held her mouth in her mouth, nodded, and left with Sensen.
hotel.
Xuan Ruoxi was sitting in the passenger seat. She was startled and the cold wind blew, and most of the alcohol smell had gone away. She carefully looked at Huo Jiyun who was driving. He looked so serious without saying a word.
"Well - well, if you leave like this, will it affect your dinner?" Although she didn't know who he was dining with in the hotel, Xuan Ruoxi felt that it was necessary to care.
"No." Two simple words, clean and crisp, with a cold tone.
Xuan Ruoxi felt a little dry in her mouth and licked her lips subconsciously.
A bottle of water was handed to her, and she turned to look at the man looking in front of her in astonishment.
"After drinking wine, your mouth will be dry. Just drink some water." Still not looking at her. Xuan Ruo took the water and thanked her in a low voice: "Oh, thank you." She opened the water and took a few sips.
The cool and slightly sweet taste directly reduced the dryness in the mouth. The night wind blew gently into the car, and Xuan Ruoxi was completely sober from the wine.
"Just now - thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Yes, thank you for what, to save the situation, or to say that he is her boyfriend! For a moment, Xuan Ruoxi found that she had nothing to say.
"Why are you eating with them?" And drinking.
"To thank them for their help." Xuan Ruoxi said honestly.
"Thank you!" Huo Jiyun snorted coldly. She simply thought it was an ordinary dinner. He just took a look and knew that this dinner was not simple. Among the group of grown men, except for a married woman, there was only one single woman, Xuan Ruoxi. Others.
Half of them are young men, and anyone with a discerning eye will know what they mean at a glance.
"Don't attend such a dinner party next time."
"Oh, I know." Xuan Ruoxi agreed obediently without knowing why. Huo Jiyun suddenly laughed softly, and after sweeping away the serious expression on his face, he smiled naturally and freely.
Xuan Ruoxi glanced at him inexplicably, and her beautiful profile made her heart beat faster.
"Ruoxi is so good." The four words, which seemed to be doting and teasing, made Xuan Ruoxi blush instantly. She turned her head to cover up her panic.
The street lights at the entrance of Xifu Yuan had already turned on. Xuan Ruoxi got out of the car. Her steps were a little hurried and she stumbled accidentally.
"Are you okay?" Huo Jiyun also got out of the car. Xuan Ruoxi felt that she had no face to look at him, so she lowered her head and shook her head, planning to flee the scene.
"Ruoxi, are you afraid of me?" Huo Jiyun refused to let her go, and moved to block her way. His slender figure was majestic, and their shadows looked intimate under the illumination of the street lamp.
"No." Still lowering her head, Xuan Ruoxi didn't dare to look at him at this moment.
"Lie." The next second, Xuan Ruoxi was pressed gently against the car window, her shoulders unable to move. Her chin was also lifted by Huo Jiyun, who forced her to face each other face to face, with their eyes meeting each other, and there were different sparks in their eyes.
Huo Jiyun is exploring, Xuan Ruoxi is panicking.
"I have always been curious about why you are so young, but your eyes are mature beyond your years. Is it because of the hardships of life that you are mentally more stable than the average person, or is it because of something else. Many times, I want to ask you,
But I feel that our relationship has not reached that level yet, but tonight, I want to take it one step further.
Ruoxi, no matter what has happened to you, I want to live in your heart and become a harbor that you can rely on. I am not an affectionate person. You are the only girl I really want to date so far.
I am serious. It has nothing to do with identity, I only care about you. I like you. Be my girlfriend and let me protect you, okay?" Facing his sincere eyes, Xuan Ruoxi felt that her heart could no longer bear it.
Live. The past events were vivid in her mind, and her tears fell sadly.
"Ruoxi!" Huo Jiyun was surprised by her tears and let go of his hands that were holding her shoulders. He is Huo Jiyun, the heir of the Huo Group.
He has his pride and his principles. If she really doesn't want to, he won't force her.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I thank you for your love, but I - I really can't accept you." Huo Jiyun looked at her silently, neither comforting nor wiping her tears. Instead, he looked at her deeply until
She wiped her eyes herself.
"I understand, you go in, good night." Xuan Ruoxi almost ran into the orphanage gate. She didn't look back, and she didn't dare to look. Huo Jiyun's status is noble, he has his pride, and so does she.
Understand. Just like the face of a king and the dignity of a noble, she cannot afford to offend or bear it.
