Yue Yitang sat in front of the dressing table, carefully applying light makeup, trying to cover up her faint dark circles.

She picked out a decent outfit, changed into it, and then hurriedly left.

She drove up to the Huo Group building, but before getting out of the car, she suddenly hesitated.

What if Huo Nanchu has no interest in her at all? Wouldn't it be awkward for her to come here so eagerly to explain?

But if I don't explain, I'm afraid he'll misunderstand.

Yue Yitang hesitated in the car for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to get out.

However, when she reached the entrance of the Huo Building, she began to back down.

She lingered at the door for a long time, never daring to step inside.

Just then, Zhang Le, who had returned from running errands, saw Yue Yitang.

He stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Yue, are you here to see Mr. Huo?"

Yue Yitang was a little nervous and stammered, "Um...no, no...it's..." She really didn't know how to express her wishes.

Seeing this, Zhang Le quickly suggested, "I'm going up too, why don't we go together?"

He thought to himself, "I absolutely cannot let this future president's wife leave like this."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yitang breathed a slight sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Okay."

And so, she followed Zhang Le into the building in a daze.

The two entered the elevator together, and Yue Yitang's heart pounded faster and faster.

When the elevator arrives at the designated floor.

Zhang Le knocked loudly on the CEO's office door.

Just then, Yue Yitang had an urge to run away, but reason prevailed over emotion.

"Please come in." Huo Nanchu's deep and magnetic voice came from inside the office.

Zhang Le pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "Mr. Huo, Miss Yue is here."

Yue Yitang followed closely behind, still hesitating whether to explain to Huo Nanchu.

"Miss Yue, please come in." Zhang Le turned around and said politely to Yue Yitang.

Then, he led Yue Yitang into the room, carefully closed the door, and left.

When Yue Yitang entered the room, she saw Huo Nanchu sitting at his desk and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Huo Nanchu asked with a smile, "Tangtang, what brings you here?"

Seeing Huo Nanchu's delighted expression, Yue Yitang realized that he didn't seem annoyed or impatient, which made her feel much more relaxed. She thought that perhaps she didn't need to worry too much about explaining things.

"I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd stop by," Yue Yitang replied naturally and fluently.

Huo Nanchu then asked, "So, do you have anything to do later?"

Yue Yitang nodded slightly and replied softly, "I don't have anything special to do."

The voice was soft, like a gentle spring breeze brushing past your ear.

"Then please sit down for a while. I have some urgent work to do, which will probably take about half an hour. After I finish these tasks, we can go have lunch together." Huo Nanchu extended an invitation with a smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Yue Yitang smiled slightly and nodded obediently, replying, "Okay, sure."

She then lightly got up and moved to the sofa next to her to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Le's polite and restrained knocking sounded at the opportune moment.

After leaving the house, Zhang Le instructed his secretary to make coffee, which was delivered immediately after it was made, and then he left quietly again.

After Zhang Le left, the room returned to silence.

Yue Yitang's gaze began to wander, taking in Huo Nanchu's office.

The entire space is dominated by classic black and gray tones, exuding a calm and restrained temperament in its simple and elegant style.

A few potted green plants dotted the space, adding a touch of life and vitality to the otherwise somewhat cold and austere environment.

She didn't know the specific species of these plants, but their healthy growth suggested they had been well cared for.

Yue Yitang's gaze involuntarily fell on Huo Nanchu, who was focused on his work. She thought to herself, "The rumors are true! It is said that the most charming men are those who are fully focused on their work, and Huo Nanchu is the best example of that."

For a moment, she was completely absorbed in watching...

Huo Nanchu felt a gaze upon him, so he looked up and saw Yue Yitang staring intently at him.

He couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyes full of doting affection, but he quickly returned to his work.

Just as Huo Nanchu had predicted, about half an hour later, he put down the documents in his hand and shut down the computer.

When he stood up, he noticed that Yue Yitang was still watching him, and even after he stood up, her gaze moved upwards following his movements.

"Let's go," Huo Nanchu said as he walked to Yue Yitang's side.

"Hmm?" Yue Yitang responded subconsciously.

"Let's go have lunch together. You must be hungry too, right?" Huo Nanchu's voice was very gentle.

"Ah...oh, okay," Yue Yitang replied somewhat flusteredly.

Her cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she dared not look up at Huo Nanchu again.

"Oh dear, this is so embarrassing!"

How could I have been so captivated by his good looks? Yue Yitang was secretly filled with regret.

Huo Nanchu found Yue Yitang increasingly adorable.

And last time when he got drunk, he actually said he was a sunflower.

Huo Nanchu brought Yue Yitang to the Chinese restaurant that Huo Jinning had visited after feigning illness and getting a medical check-up.

"Are you free the day after tomorrow?" Huo Nanchu asked tentatively.

In fact, if Yue Yitang hadn't made it to the appointment today, Huo Nanchu would have definitely gone to see her by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Because the day after tomorrow is the special day he has carefully planned and prepared to confess his feelings to her.

"Yes, I have. I haven't been taking on any work lately," Yue Yitang replied truthfully.

"I plan to go to the grasslands the day after tomorrow. If you have time, would you like to come with me?" Although Huo Nanchu appeared calm on the surface, he was actually a little nervous inside.

"The grassland? That's great! Can we ride horses? I haven't ridden a horse in ages. I feel like galloping across the grassland would be amazing!" Yue Yitang said excitedly.

"Of course, I'll drive over to pick you up at 1 p.m. the day after tomorrow. Is that arrangement okay?" Huo Nanchu tried to make her tone sound as natural as possible.

"Okay, I understand." Yue Yitang smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding.

After all the dishes were served, silence returned between the two of them, with only the occasional soft clinking of chopsticks against bowls.

"Thank you so much for today," Yue Yitang said with a smile after finishing her meal.

"You've treated me to two meals already, why are you being so polite?" Huo Nanchu replied with a slight smile and a friendly tone.

However, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask nervously, "By the way, Aunt Yue said you were going on a blind date last time, did you go?"
