The clothes she wore, the handbags she carried, her shoes and accessories, all of them were very valuable.
Most importantly, although the man beside him was dressed in a low-key manner, his aura was very imposing. He had already sensed it from yesterday's meeting.
Yesterday, she claimed to be the younger sister of Huojiao, could it be that... She must be the legendary heir to the Huo Group, Miss Huo Xi Wen, right?
If it was really him, then he would have suffered a great loss.
"Alright, since we're even, then let's not talk about this anymore. Just go your own way. I've been my own bridge before, let's just treat it as if we've never met before." She wanted him to stop talking about matchmaking. After all, she didn't want anything to do with him.
"There's no need to be so decisive. Although there were some disagreements between us before, now that everything is over, we can get to know each other again."I am Chen, Miss Huo, it is my pleasure to meet you." As he spoke, Chen Zi Chen did not care about the ugly expression of the woman beside him, and smiled as he extended his hand towards Huo Xi Wen.
Huo XIwen didn't expect that not only did this guy not leave, he even came to stick to her. For a moment, her expression was a little awkward, she did not want to shake hands with him, but she seemed completely sincere.
After all, he was Huo Jianji's friend. Even if it was on Huo Jianji's account, she shouldn't have refused his goodwill.
Just as she was hesitating about whether she should shake hands with him, Chen Yanzhuo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up from his seat across the table. He walked to her side, reached out his hand and took Chen Zicheng's hand. Nice to meet you. Sorry, my girlfriend is a germaphobic, so she doesn't usually shake hands with others."
"An obsession with cleanliness? "She..." Chen glanced at Huo XIwen, then at Chen Yanzhuo, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
"What's so great about that? If you don't shake it, then don't shake it. Zi Chen, I suddenly feel like I don't have any appetite to eat anymore. The woman beside him said coquettishly.
"You said that the dessert would be so tasty, but now I haven't even tasted it yet. How can I leave? "Since we've met Miss Huo here, why don't we sit down and eat something before leaving?" Chen Zicheng was also willing to go out. He didn't care about the fact that Huo XIwen had Chen Yanzhuo beside him, and he didn't care about the fact that he had Angela beside him. He moved his chair over and sat down at the table without waiting for a response.
For a time, four people squeezed out of the three people sitting at the table.
Huo Xiwen looked at the two of them, but didn't have much appetite. She took a glance at Chen Yanzhuo and said, "Darling, I feel like I just drank some milk tea, and I'm already full. Why don't we give Mr. Chen and his girlfriend their seats?"
"Alright." Chen Yanzhuo said, smiled, took her hand, and was about to leave.
Chen Zi Chen did not expect that Huo Xi Wen would not give him face, and he immediately became angry in his heart.
Chen Yanzhuo and Huo XIwen walked up to the bar and asked the Lady Boss to pack their Shufflei, pay the bill and walk out of the dessert shop. Only then did Huo XIwen realize that they had been holding hands ever since they left their seats.
It was like she was doing something completely unconscious. Her body didn't feel uncomfortable or resistant to his touch at all.
It was as if it was so natural for him to hold her hand.
What was going on?
Her heart was suddenly flustered. She pulled away from his hand, her face burning.
Chen Yanzhuo looked at her but didn't say anything. He just handed her the paper bag with Shufflei and said, "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste any worse than the milk tea that you just tried."
Seeing that he didn't seem to care about what just happened, Huo XIwen's heart, which was originally beating wildly, gradually calmed down.
She must have been thinking too much. He was just holding her hand to free her from her predicament, so why should she care?
Taking a deep breath, she took the bag from him. Her face revealed a heartless smile again."I'll try it first."
As he spoke, he took out the cake and took a bite. Then, his face revealed the expression he usually showed when drinking milk tea."It's really delicious, so fragrant, so soft..."
"Wait here for a moment." Chen Yanzhuo said, and stopped.
Huo XIwen looked at him curiously. He turned around, then returned to the dessert shop. After five or six minutes, he walked out with a glass of water.
By this time she had finished a cake and was standing outside on the road, waiting for him.
Chen Yanzhuo walked up to her and handed her a drink.
Huo XIwen accepted the drink and took a sip. In an instant, he felt his entire body warming up, and he felt extremely comfortable, "Thank you."
"Get in." Chen Yanzhuo pointed at the car parked not far from them.
Huo Xiwen nodded, and put the last piece of cake into a paper bag, holding it in her hand.
After the two of them got on the car, Huo XIwen drank a cup of milk tea. He looked to be in a very good mood, as if he was a completely different person from when she first got on the car.
Indeed, eating dessert could make a person happy.
Chen Yanzhuo drove forward, the music on the stereo was gentle and soothing, a breeze was blowing in from the window. Huo Xiwen, who had eaten her fill, felt sleepy, leaned her head against the back of the car, and closed her eyes sleepily, unknowingly falling asleep.
After who knows how long, she turned around and moved her body. When she woke up, she found that she was still in the car. And in front of her was Chen Yanzhuo's magnified face.
"You're awake?" When she woke up, he said, his voice low and hoarse.
Huo Xi Wen straightened his body and looked around, "Have I slept for a long time?"
"Not long, more than an hour." Chen Yanzhuo said.
At this time, Huo XIwen stretched his back and said, "I'm sorry, but it might be because your car was too comfortable that I unknowingly fell asleep."
"I don't mind." Chen Yanzhuo said as he opened the car door and got out. He took a detour to the passenger side and opened the door for her."It's getting late, let's go home and rest."
At this time, Huo XIwen looked outside and discovered that the car was parked in front of his house.
After getting out of the car, she looked at Chen Yanzhuo and said, "Tonight, thank you for bringing me to eat dessert. The taste is indeed very good." However, you didn't seem to have eaten it. As for the remaining cake, I'll leave it in the car. You can go home and eat it later."
"Alright." Chen nodded at her with a smile.
This smile was very gentle, yet it also carried a trace of doting, and it suddenly gave Huo XIwen a very familiar feeling.
Through his eyes, it was as if she could see the man branded in the depths of her soul.
How is this possible?
She shook her head. They looked completely different, so why would she see Fu Muyun's shadow on his body?
It must be because their voices were so similar that they gave her this illusion. It must be.
