Chapter 380 I'll Misunderstand
Huo Huai'an first met her on his way to a dinner party.
That time of day was rush hour, and there were a lot of cars on the road, causing severe traffic congestion.
After replying to the email, Huo Huai'an looked out the window, intending to relax his eyes, when his gaze was drawn to a white figure.
The reason I noticed her was because the girl's figure was very similar to Miss Lu's.
At first glance, Huo Huai'an thought that Miss Lu had abandoned her husband and children to travel here.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the girl was shorter than Lu Fengqing.
She was wearing a white dress, the fitted design of which perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.
A man stood in front of the girl. He looked anxious and kept muttering something, but the girl remained silent.
As if sensing something, she suddenly looked in Huo Huai'an's direction.
Their eyes met.
Huo Huai'an then realized that staring at the girl like that was very impolite. Considering that they didn't know each other, Huo Huai'an simply looked away as if nothing had happened.
Just then, the car in front finally started moving, and the driver restarted his car.
The scenery outside the window slowly receded, and the little girl in the white dress quickly disappeared from Huo Huai'an's sight.
The road ahead was still very congested. What should have been a ten-minute journey took Huo Huai'an a full forty minutes.
By the time he arrived at the hotel, he was already more than twenty minutes late.
Huo Huai'an got out of the car and realized he had forgotten to ask which private room the other person was in. Just as he was about to take out his phone to make a call, a soft voice came from behind him:
"Is this Mr. Huo?"
Huo Huai'an turned around and saw the figure in the white dress, and was stunned for a moment.
The girl seemed surprised to see him and paused for a moment.
However, she quickly came to her senses and pointed to the license plate of the car behind Huo Huai'an, "Chairman Yu asked me to come down and pick you up."
The person Huo Huai'an came to see this time was surnamed Yu, the same as his mother's surname.
"It's me." Huo Huai'an put down his phone.
Upon arriving upstairs and meeting Chairman Yu, Huo Huai'an immediately apologized to Chairman Yu for being late.
Chairman Yu waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. Traffic jams are normal at this time of day. It's my fault for not telling you sooner."
The people here all speak Cantonese and don't speak Mandarin very well. Mr. Yu's Mandarin sounds quite comical and makes people laugh.
In comparison, the little girl's Mandarin was much more standard, and more importantly, her voice was very pleasant.
Her voice was soft and gentle, like the sweet whispers of Wu dialect, each word tickling your heart.
Then, Chairman Yu introduced the young girl beside him to Huo Huai'an, "This is my daughter, Xiang Kui. She just returned from studying abroad."
Huo Huai'an looked at the little girl with some surprise.
Actually, Huo Huai'an and Chairman Yu were not familiar with each other. Chairman Yu was a friend of Huo Huai'an's father, Huo Xiao. Huo Huai'an happened to be in the area on business and came over to see his old friend on behalf of his father.
Before coming here, Huo Xiao hadn't told Huo Huai'an that he had such a young daughter.
Mr. Yu is already over sixty years old, but his daughter is not even thirty.
Huo Huai'an is single, so Chairman Yu specially called his daughter over as well, the meaning of which is somewhat intriguing.
No matter how much she tried to escape, she couldn't escape the fate of being "arranged to meet someone by blind date."
As they were leaving, Chairman Yu mentioned that it was Huo Huai'an's first time here and suggested that his daughter take Huo Huai'an around during the day.
Huo Huai'an did not refuse and exchanged WeChat contacts with Yu Xiangkui.
The next morning, Huo Huai'an received a call from Yu Xiangkui, who said she wanted to take him out for a walk.
Having finished his business and having nothing else to do, Huo Huai'an went off.
After they met and exchanged greetings, Yu Xiangkui suddenly asked, "Have I seen you before?"
Huo Huai'an said, "I was stuck in traffic on my way to the restaurant, and I saw you on the side of the road."
Yu Xiangkui: "It really was you."
Huo Huai'an smiled and asked, "How come you got here faster than me last night?"
Yu Xiangkui: "I took the bus. During rush hour, there are dedicated lanes for buses, so it's very fast."
Huo Huai'an nodded and asked calmly, "Is the person you're talking to your boyfriend?"
Yu Xiangkui said, "My ex-boyfriend."
Huo Huai'an deliberately feigned surprise before asking, "Is he bothering you?"
Yu Xiangkui: "He doesn't want to break up."
Huo Huai'an chuckled, "He still likes you?"
Yu Xiangkui shook her head: "He just wants to sleep with me."
Huo Huai'an: "..."
This left Huo Huai'an speechless.
Huo Huai'an could only ask, "Does your father know?"
“I know,” Yu Xiangkui said. “My dad told me to ignore him.”
Huo Huai'an stayed here for a total of four days. Before leaving, he went to the Yu family to see Chairman Yu once more.
“My wife is in poor health. We were married for many years before we had A-Kui. She died from postpartum hemorrhage when she gave birth to A-Kui. I’ve been raising her all these years by myself,” said Mr. Yu. “She’s grown up, but her personality is still like when she was a child. I’m so worried that she’ll be deceived.”
Yu Xiangkui called out, "Daddy!"
Chairman Yu chuckled, "Alright, alright, Daddy won't say anymore. Little Huo is going back to the mainland. Why don't you go with him for a few days? Don't let that rascal Fang pester you."
Mr. Yu spoke in half Mandarin and half Cantonese, and it took Huo Huai'an a long time to understand him.
Yu Xiangkui glanced at Huo Huai'an and did not refuse, "Okay."
And so, Huo Huai'an came to say goodbye, and also took the man's daughter with him.
On the way to the airport, Huo Huai'an looked at the little girl beside him and asked, "Do you know why your father wants you to come with me?"
Yu Xiangkui: "I know. He wants to bring us together."
Huo Huai'an asked, "What do you think?"
Yu Xiangkui: "My father has a very good eye."
"..." This is a veiled compliment to him.
Huo Huai'an: "Thank you."
When they returned to City B, it was past nine o'clock at night. Huo Huai'an asked Yu Xiangkui, "Do you want to stay in a hotel or at my place?"
Yu Xiangkui: "Stay at a hotel."
Back in the city center, Huo Huai'an first took Yu Xiangkui to the hotel.
After checking her in, Huo Huai'an escorted her to her room. When he met her clear eyes, he suddenly had the urge to tease her.
He deliberately spoke in a low voice, "If you look at me like that, I might misunderstand."
Yu Xiangkui looked at him, her eyes seeming to ask him what he had misunderstood.
Huo Huai'an lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low, deep voice, "It's a misunderstanding... You want me to stay with you."
