When Xuan Ruoxi followed Huo Jiyun out of the lounge, the banquet had already begun. Beautiful melody slowly sounded, and Huo Jiyun stood at the foot of the stairs waiting for Xuan Ruoxi. When she stepped down the last step, he extended a gentleman's hand to her.
“Ms.
In the middle of the dance floor.
Waltz, beautiful melody, elegant dance steps.
"Thank you just now!" Xuan Ruoxi felt the need to thank you.
"Shh, concentrate, others are watching." Huo Jiyun gave her a charming smile, and Xuan Ruoxi noticed that her steps were a little messy.
She is not very proficient in modern dance, and only relies on her body subconscious to feel the steps of three steps slower. Huo Jiyun is a master, and his dance steps are very familiar.
"Don't be nervous, just follow my rhythm and be bold." Wearing a Chinese-style retro long skirt, she danced a British-style waltz. In the step-by-step pattern, the hem of the skirt swayed elegantly, adding Xuan Ruoxi
Her long black hair looks elegant and stunningly beautiful.
Huo Jiyun was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with handsome facial features, confident demeanor, steady steps, and a chic style of his own. Mr. Huo saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone was also talking about it, saying: This girl is going to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Lin Xi looked at the men and women on the dance floor with hatred. The fingers holding the red wine glass were like pinching Xuan Ruoxi's neck! From the welfare home! Just wait, I, Lin Xi, will not give up easily.
“Ms.
, this girl is Mr. Huo’s designated candidate for his grandson-in-law.
Overtly or covertly, everyone understands this tacitly.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for the invitation. Ruoxi is honored." He still had to say polite words, so Xuan Ruoxi nodded politely and said goodbye.
After getting in the car, the driver was the assistant Sensen. Xuan Ruoxi looked out the window and remained silent. Huo Jiyun closed his eyes and sat upright. They didn't talk along the way until the car stopped at the entrance of the welfare home. Xuan Ruoxi stood up before getting off the car.
After saying: "Thank you!" Huo Jiyun turned his head and looked at her leaving figure, his tight lips slightly raised.
"Drive!" The car drove away slowly. Xuan Ruoxi turned around and saw the rear of the car.
"Is it Ruoxi?" Xuan Ruoxi had just reached the second floor when she heard the dean's soft inquiry.
"Yes, Dean, are you still awake?" It's already ten o'clock in the evening.
Xuan Ruoxi walked over and gently opened the door to the dean's room.
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up to see if you were back?"
Over the years, she has become accustomed to it. In the early days, she would worry that the children who had not grown up would kick the quilt at night, and would check in from time to time. Over time, her sleep at night became lighter and she would even become very awake.
"The children are all asleep. I just looked over. Are you tired tonight?" The dean stood on the balcony with his coat on. Xuan Ruoxi walked over, and the moonlight cast a silver light above their heads. The dean's face looked at
Looking a little pale, Xuan Ruoxi said distressedly: "Dean, you are not in good health. From now on, don't worry about the children anymore. I will take care of them."
"Ruoxi, good boy, thank you for your hard work." Holding her hand, the dean's eyes held a thousand words, but in the end nothing could be said.
"I'm not working hard. Dean, it's getting late, go to bed."
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you!" There were tears in the dean's eyes, and Xuan Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat! She was a little frightened.
"What do you think of the Huo family? Or, what do you think of Mr. Huo?"
"Dean!" Xuan Ruoxi understood what she meant.
"Ruoxi, I know that you are still young and still have many ideas of your own. I used to be like you, with many ideas, but unfortunately, I did not put them into action due to my health. I left a lot of regrets until I
I feel satisfied only after I came to Xifuyuan. I don't force you, I just hope that you give yourself more opportunities." Facing the dean's kind eyes and gentle words, Xuan Ruoxi didn't say anything, but nodded respectfully.
.
"I will consider it, dean, don't worry, Xifuyuan is also my home, and the children are our family. No matter what happens in the future, I will take good care of them. Don't give up, don't throw away!"
"Okay, good boy, I believe you will do well."
The bright moon was shining in the sky, and the Xifu Courtyard was quiet. Xuan Ruoxi was lying on the bed, thinking about what happened tonight and the words of the dean.
Huo Jiyun, what kind of person is he? A high-ranking young master, a son of a well-known rich family. No matter what status he is, to her, he is an emperor-like existence.
Does she have to accept the arrangements of her family and obey the wishes of the dean like she did in her previous life?
Thinking back to what happened in the past, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She thought that the new world and new life would allow her to stay away from love, hatred and resentment. Unexpectedly, she still encountered the same situation. The difference was that the other party was not the emperor, and there was no intrigue between the imperial courts.
, but facing what happened at the banquet tonight, she felt that it was not far from the battle between the palaces.
So, should she accept it?
After a few days of calm, Dean Xuan suddenly fainted. Xuan Ruoxi rushed her to the hospital, but was told to give her first aid.
"Uncle Zhou, what's wrong with her, Dean? Is it okay?" Before the operation, Xuan Ruoxi found Dr. Zhou, Dean Xuan's old friend.
"She is willful and disobedient. She knows that she cannot delay, but she keeps putting it off again and again." Dr. Zhou looked very uncomfortable, and the pain was clearly visible on his face.
"Uncle Zhou, has the dean been ill for a long time?" Xuan Ruoxi knew that the dean was in poor health, but he didn't know that she was so serious!
"Ruoxi, you have to be mentally prepared, Minru... if she can survive this time... time is running out." Dr. Zhou finished speaking with difficulty, turned away, and could no longer hold back his tears.
Outside the operating room, Xuan Ruoxi was waiting anxiously. Some people came over after hearing the news. They were some of the dean's good friends.
"Ruoxi, how is your dean doing?" Yang Qingqing was Xuan Minru's classmate in college and the only friend who still supported her.
"Aunt Yang!" Xuan Ruoxi stood up, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably when she saw her.
"Okay, don't cry, kid, it's not easy for you either." Yang Qingqing is also divorced and has a son who is currently abroad.
"The director is still operating. Uncle Zhou said that the situation is not good."
"Hey, Director Xuan is working too hard. It's not easy for her to support the orphanage all by herself for so many years." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man.
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for coming to visit."
"Ruoxi, if you say that, you are out of touch. Dean Xuan and I are old friends after all."
While they were talking, the lights in the operating room went out, and after a while, the door was opened.
