135 Closeness

Xie Ziyu still wanted to act aloof, but the plump, white steamed buns looked very tempting.

He nodded with a cool and reserved air. "Although I ate your breakfast, it doesn't mean I'm being bribed by you."

Huo Yanxi: "Eat it."

Xie Ziyu didn't stand on ceremony with him and sat down to eat heartily.

He sat in the only chair, and Xie Yaoyao looked at Huo Yanxi awkwardly, "Have you eaten? Want to eat something together?"

Huo Yanxi glanced at her. "Not yet."

"Let's eat together then. Yu Bao, get up and give your chair to President Huo."

Regardless, Huo Yanxi had helped her, and she even got her sunroom from him.

She also found it difficult to ignore him.

Xie Ziyu tried to get down from the chair, but Huo Yanxi stopped him, saying, "Let him sit down, I'm fine standing."

Xie Yaoyao looked at his height of nearly 1.9 meters, and even just standing there, he was quite intimidating.

She said, "Why don't you go sit on the sofa and eat?"

Huo Yanxi didn't say anything, took a lunchbox, and sat down by the cabinet to eat.

Seeing this, Xie Yaoyao didn't say anything more and lowered her head to eat her xiaolongbao.

Huo Yanxi said, "Do you remember when we were in the houseboat, we would sit on the ground to eat in the summer to cool off?"

Xie Yaoyao certainly remembered everything that had happened between her and Huo Yanxi.

But hearing him mention it now feels like a lifetime ago.

She swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I don't remember many things from before."

She thought Huo Yanxi would be angry, but in fact, he wasn't.

He stared intently at her. "You're not denying it anymore?"

Xie Yaoyao was stunned.

Huo Yanxi: "As long as you don't deny that you are Chi Xiaoman, you can do whatever you want."

Xie Yaoyao then realized that he was trying to trick her into revealing information.

She lowered her head to eat, "Mr. Huo, why are you so persistent? We are no longer who we used to be."

Huo Yanxi's jawline was taut, and his eyes held a hint of hurt, but this time he was smarter and didn't confront her head-on.

People change. You've changed, and so have I.

Xie Yaoyao lowered her eyelashes slightly. "That's a good way of thinking, Mr. Huo. We all need to look forward."

Look ahead, don't look back.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yanxi changed the subject, "I had Pei Yan apply for a flight route. You can come back to Hong Kong with me tonight."

Xie Yaoyao was stunned for a moment.

She remembered seeing news reports that Huo Yanxi owned a Boeing 747 private jet.

He usually travels by private jet and uses special channels.

Xie Yaoyao didn't really want to sit with him and stare at each other, but it was a private jet, after all.

Xie Yaoyao was still a little tempted, but she remained reserved and said, "This isn't a good idea, I've already booked my plane ticket."

"The plane ticket is refundable," Huo Yanxi said gently.

“But there are handling fees for canceling the ticket…” Xie Yaoyao was still hesitating. A private jet was beckoning to her, but her integrity prevented her from losing her principles.

Huo Yanxi: "If you don't mind, I can make up for the handling fees you lost."

This sounds much more comforting than when he asked her to move to a hotel last night.

He smoothed Xie Yaoyao's hair, and she said hesitantly, "Well, okay then."

A smile appeared in Huo Yanxi's eyes.

"I'll have Uncle Jian come over and help you with your luggage later. What other plans do you have for today?"

"I plan to take Yubao to Universal Studios."

Huo Yanxi nodded, "I'll go with you. We'll go to the airport together after we're done there."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yaoyao couldn't refuse Huo Yanxi, so she said, "Alright."

Huo Yanxi achieved his goal and also gained a small lesson: don't go against Xie Yaoyao.

Xie Yaoyao has a strong sense of self-esteem, and she's the type who becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents.

If he wants to get close to her, he has to go along with her and not provoke her.

Xie Ziyu looked up and caught a glimpse of the triumphant smile on Huo Yanxi's lips. He felt a little like sighing.

How can Mommy, who is so naive, possibly outwit this old fox?

In his view, Mommy would soon be devoured by this old fox, leaving not a single bone or scrap.

After finishing breakfast, Huo Yanxi called Uncle Jian and asked him to come over and help carry his luggage, and also to take Doubao with him.

Xie Yaoyao no longer needs to plan how to ship Doubao or store her luggage.

After Uncle Jian came and took the luggage and Doubao away, the three of them took a car to Global Center.

With the summer vacation coming to an end, many tourists are bringing their children to play.

Huo Yanxi bought a VIP ticket at the window, which allowed him to use the VIP lane to access eight attractions.

Xie Ziyu wanted to play Harry Potter, so they headed straight to Harry Potter Town.

The park has only been open for a short time, but the Harry Potter Town area is already packed with people queuing up.

Huo Yanxi was dressed casually today, wearing a high-quality shirt and trousers, with the cuffs casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing the clearly defined lines of his wrist bones.

Seeing that there were many people, he bent down and picked up Xie Ziyu.

He works out regularly, and Xie Ziyu looked quite petite in his arms.

He held Xie Ziyu in one arm and held Xie Yaoyao tightly with the other, afraid that she would be separated from him by the crowd.

"Stay close to me, don't get lost."

Xie Yaoyao's hand was grasped by his strong hand, and the warmth entered her limbs and bones through her pores.

Her cheeks felt slightly flushed.

Just as she was about to break free, Huo Yanxi gripped her tightly. He looked down at her and said, "Don't make a fuss, there are too many people around."

There were indeed a lot of people, but thankfully everyone was very well-behaved and it wasn't crowded.

Otherwise, with such a huge crowd, a stampede could easily occur, which would be very bad.

Seeing that he was carrying Xie Ziyu with one arm, Xie Yaoyao asked, "Should I carry him?"

Xie Ziyu weighs over 40 kilograms, which is considered quite robust for his age.

Huo Yanxi was holding him with one arm; he must be quite heavy.

Huo Yanxi said calmly, "It's alright, I can carry you."

Xie Yaoyao didn't say anything more and slowly moved forward with the crowd.

It took two hours to get to the Harry Potter show. After entering, they boarded the spaceship and experienced Harry Potter's life.

Xie Ziyu was excited, but when crossing Skull Mountain, he was also very scared and subconsciously threw himself into Huo Yanxi's arms for protection.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all fake." Huo Yanxi patted his back gently to comfort him.

Xie Yaoyao watched this scene with a mix of relief and a sense of loss.

Children are the most innocent and the most sensitive.

After leaving Harry Potter, Xie Yaoyao clearly sensed that Xie Ziyu's attitude towards Huo Yanxi had improved.

They passed through the Harry Potter town and saw long lines of butterbeer.

Xie Ziyu looked over there curiously, "Uncle, I want to try what butterbeer tastes like."

The word "uncle" stunned Huo Yanxi and Xie Yaoyao alike.

For so long, Xie Ziyu had called Huo Yanxi "Old Deng," but today was the first time he had formally called him "Uncle."

Huo Yanxi originally thought that alcohol was bad for children, but now he has abandoned all principles.

"Okay, I'll line up to buy it, but you have to promise me you can only have one bite."

Xie Ziyu obediently replied, "Okay."

As Huo Yanxi turned to queue up, Xie Yaoyao noticed a suspicious glint of moisture in the corner of his eye.
