Hearing the noise, everyone looked curiously towards the door. Lin Ruanruan stopped eating her melon seeds. Someone who could unlock the door with a fingerprint... could it be her parents coming back?

However, the people who entered were two handsome men. The slightly taller one greeted Grandpa Lin with a bright smile and said, "Grandpa, have you missed me?"

Grandpa Lin stood up excitedly, "Why are you back, kid?"

"Brother?" Huo Xian looked at the newcomer in surprise.

Huo Qi stepped forward and skillfully ruffled Huo Xian's hair, then gave Grandpa Lin a big hug. "I was too busy with the company last year, so I didn't have time to come back."

“Our project has been launched this year, so I brought my company’s employees here to relax.”

Grandpa Lin patted Huo Qi on the back happily, "Good boy, you've really worked hard."

Although Huo Qi hasn't come back, he calls the old couple every now and then, not only to let them know he's safe, but also to ask about their health.

Although he didn't have time to come back, he still mailed a lot of things to Linjia Village. Thinking of this, Grandpa Lin patted Huo Qi on the shoulder with satisfaction.

His children are all sensible and filial, and Qi is also a thoughtful one; he's very good.

After hugging Lin Ruanruan, Huo Qi looked for her and asked, "Grandpa, where's my girlfriend? Where did you hide her?"

Grandpa Lin rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "You brat..."

His beloved granddaughter was barely an adult when he took her in; he couldn't wait even a moment longer.

Lin Ruanruan ran over excitedly, "Brother, why are you and Brother Li Qin here?"

Huo Qi quickly put his arm around her, saying, "Slow down, slow down, don't fall."

After saying that, he looked at Li Qin and said, "Make yourself at home here. Sit down wherever you like and relax. Don't look so stern."

Li Qin looked speechlessly at Huo Qi, who treated this place like his own home. Should he say that their boss's skin was really thick?

Lin Ruanruan looked at Li Qin curiously, "Why is Brother Li Qin so serious today?"

Li Qin found a seat, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and rubbed his nose. "I haven't adjusted yet..."

Huo Qi put his arm around Lin Ruanruan's shoulder and said, "Don't be fooled by your brother Li Qin's usual carefree attitude in front of us. He's always trying to slack off."

"He's incredibly hardworking outside, meticulous and responsible in his work, and manages his subordinates very well. People in the company call him the 'cold-faced devil.'"

“With him around, the other employees in the company don’t dare to play around freely, for fear of provoking him, so I brought him home.”

Li Qin glanced at Huo Qi and said, "Cold-faced demon? You're more like a smiling Yama. You're no better than me."

Recently, Huo Qi has been living happily with the beauty in his heart. He was working himself to the bone and felt resentful. As a result, he just slightly frowned, and his subordinates didn't dare to say a word.

Huo Qiquan pretended not to hear Li Qin's rebuttal. He enthusiastically invited Lin Ruanruan to go out for a stroll, "Ruanruan, I found that many new boardwalks have been built on the back mountain of Linjia Village. Let's go for a walk and breathe some fresh air together."

Lin Ruanruan wanted to refuse; she was reluctant to move. But seeing Huo Qi's expectant gaze, she nodded. "Then I'll go get my phone."

Huo Qi followed her into the house and saw three boys eating sunflower seeds. Fang Lan was even looking outside while eating. Huo Qi followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at Li Qin.

He quietly moved closer to Fang Lan and asked, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Fang Lan nodded blankly, "The moment you took off your glasses just now was so cool..."

Huo Qi raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face. Fang Lan then realized what he had said and froze. He looked at Huo Qi awkwardly, "Brother Huo, hehehe, I didn't say anything."

"Hmm, you didn't say anything just now." Huo Qi smiled, and before Fang Lan could breathe a sigh of relief, he walked outside and called out to Li Qin.

"Li Qin, Fang Lan said you looked incredibly cool when you took off your glasses just now. Come over here and repeat the process a few more times in front of him."

Fang Lan's toes clenched instantly. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever felt embarrassed. "Ah... I finally understand how Sister Ruan usually feels."

Li Qin looked at Huo Qi with some surprise. He stood up and strode into the house, where he met Fang Lan's gaze face to face.

Fang Lan looked away guiltily. Li Qin sat down on the recliner where Lin Ruanruan had been sitting and said seriously, "Do you need me to pick them a few more times?"

Fang Lan pulled Wang Zihao over to block Li Qin's view, saying, "No, no, no need. I was just joking."

Li Qin's lips curled up slightly. "It's nothing. So you think I look better with glasses on?"

Thanks to the boss for bringing him here.

Fang Lan was extremely uncomfortable. "No, no, no, you look handsome whether you wear it or not, you're always handsome."

Li Qin nodded knowingly, "So, I'm handsome no matter what you think of me?"

“Yes, yes, yes…” Fang Lan pursed her lips, but something felt off.

When Lin Ruanruan returned with her phone, she saw this scene. She blinked and invited the group, "How about we go shopping together?"

Wang Zihao and Wang Shao both shook their heads. Interfering with someone's love is like being struck by lightning. They weren't going; they were quite comfortable at home, enjoying the air conditioning, eating sunflower seeds, and watermelon.

Fang Lan stood up abruptly. He didn't care; he couldn't stay here any longer. "I'm going! Take me with you!"

Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Lan strangely. Why was this person's face so red?

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Lin Ruanruan walked to Huo Qi's side. Huo Qi naturally took Lin Ruanruan's hand and exchanged a glance with Li Qin.
