Chapter 424 Going Back Tomorrow

The next day.

Huo Jiansheng's secretary, Li Wenhua, found Tan Xiyuan and bought her two-bedroom apartment.

It was purchased at market price.

After completing the formalities, Tan Xiyuan called Li Man to tell her that Huo Jiansheng had bought the house.

Tan Xiyuan knew that Huo Jiansheng bought her house because of Li Man.

In the afternoon, Riemann cooked the meal right on time.

I had just finished tidying up the kitchen when I heard the door open.

Riemann wiped the water off her hands, hung her apron on the hook, and walked toward the door.

"You're back."

Riemann went to greet him, just like a wife welcoming her husband home from get off work.

"Um."

Huo Jiansheng looked at Li Man, his eyes filled with an unyielding tenderness.

Riemann helped him take off his coat and hung it on the coat rack in the entryway.

Taking off his shoes and putting on slippers, Huo Jiansheng sniffed, "It smells so good, is the rice ready?"

"Okay, let's wash our hands and eat."

Huo Jiansheng put his arm around her waist, lowered his head, and gently kissed her forehead with his thin lips: "You've worked hard."

"It's not hard work, it depends on who you're cooking for."

Huo Jiansheng was very pleased with these words and lowered his head, wanting to kiss them again.

Riemann gently pushed him away, "Go wash your hands and eat, the food is getting cold."

He reluctantly pecked her lips before letting go and slowly walked to the kitchen to wash his hands.

Riemann followed her into the kitchen, opened the sterilizer, took out bowls and chopsticks, and filled two bowls with rice.

Huo Jiansheng dried the water stains on a towel and then took the bowl out.

Riemann took two more soup bowls out.

Today, Riemann cooked three dishes and a soup. The portions of the dishes were small, but they were served on delicate plates, which looked very appetizing.

Huo Jiansheng served Li Man a bowl of soup.

"Thanks!"

Riemann sat down opposite Huo Jiansheng.

Taking a spoonful of soup and putting it in her mouth, Li Man asked softly, "You really bought Tan Xiyuan's house?"

Huo Jiansheng took a sip of soup and softly hummed in agreement.

"So what do you plan to do with that house?"

"I don't know, let's leave it for now." Huo Jiansheng looked at Li Man, "Do you have any plans?"

Riemann gently shook her head. "No."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

Huo Jiansheng picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl. "There's no need for thanks between us. Eat up."

A warm feeling welled up inside her. Li Man lowered her head and ate all the food he had put on her plate before saying, "I plan to go back tomorrow."

Huo Jiansheng paused, his hand holding the food in his chopsticks momentarily still. "So fast?"

He had gotten used to seeing her every day when he came home from get off work, and used to eating her cooking every day. Hearing that she was leaving, he felt an indescribable sense of loss and reluctance.

"I've been away from home for a long time, it's time to go back."

Riemann also felt reluctant to part with it.

“Then I’ll go back with you tomorrow,” Huo Jiansheng decided.

"No need, I can go back by myself tomorrow."

"No, it's settled then."

As he spoke, Huo Jiansheng took out his phone and called his secretary, asking him to book two tickets to Ancheng for tomorrow.

Riemann worried, "If you come back with me, what will happen to your job?"

Huo Jiansheng: "Don't worry, there are so many people in the company, it's okay if I'm missing one."

Riemann used to think Huo Jiansheng was the company's HR manager, but now that she thinks about it, it seems he isn't; his position appears to be quite high.

She was with Huo Jiansheng and never asked him about his work.

Now that he's saying this, it seems like he holds a pretty high position.
