"Of course." Huo Yuli has always been very confident in this regard. "You can go and ask around. Huo's never defaults on payments for goods."

"Why am I asking these questions?"

Liu Huanyi put on his bag and prepared to leave. "Since the bug has been solved, I'll leave first."

"Wait——" Huo Yuli quickly grabbed her, "Let's have dinner together later?"

Liu Huanyi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Huo Yuli before he could say anything.

"You're going to refuse again, right?" Huo Yuli's tone was somewhat resentful, and Liu Huanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You know what I'm going to say before I even start talking. When did Mr. Huo gain the ability to predict the future?" Liu Huanyi looked at Huo Yuli with his arms folded across his chest and raised his eyebrows.

"I've known you since I met you." Huo Yuli lowered his posture and said, "You've rejected me several times. You can't reject me every time, right? Even if we're just ordinary friends, it's not impossible for us to have dinner together."

Liu Huanyi looked at Huo Yuli's face, but what he was thinking was: Fortunately, no one saw Huo Yuli's current appearance. The dignified CEO of Huo Group had to humbly beg others to have dinner with him.

Huo Yuli wanted to discuss it with her again, but she said, "Okay."

"You agreed?!" Huo Yuli raised his eyebrows and Liu Huanyi nodded.

"Yes, I agree. If I don't agree to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the Huo family today."

Huo Yuli was very happy and was about to book a restaurant.

"What do you want to eat? Chinese or Western food?"

"casual."

Huo Yuli carefully selected a private chef nearby, as he guessed that Liu Huanyi definitely didn't want to go too far to eat.

"Let's walk over. The restaurant is quite close, so we can go for a walk."

Liu Huanyi found it funny, "You picked a restaurant nearby?"

"You don't want to go because you're afraid it's too far."

Huo Yuli put on his coat and opened the door for her. There was another reason he didn't tell her. He thought that if he walked over, he could stay with Liu Huanyi for a while longer.

Liu Huanyi was surprised at his attentiveness, but did not show it at all and just nodded lightly.

"good."

They walked from Huo's to the restaurant together. It happened to be the rush hour when people were getting off work, and there were many people coming and going on the road. Liu Huanyi was knocked down several times.

Fortunately, Huo Yuli supported her in time and she was able to stand up.

"Thanks."

As soon as Liu Huanyi stood still, she distanced herself from Huo Yuli. Huo Yuli felt a little hurt, but didn't say anything. She just asked her to walk on the inside of the sidewalk later.

The restaurant was hidden in a residential building. Liu Huanyi was very curious: "How did you know about such a restaurant? I thought you only went to high-end restaurants."

"Not necessarily. This restaurant has a good reputation. It was recommended by my uncle. You can try more later."

Liu Huanyi thought of Huo Shu. She had been back in Beijing for so long, but she seemed to have hardly met Huo Shu.

She didn't know if he was still the same as she remembered from her childhood, a playboy and a playboy.

The two walked into the restaurant, where they were greeted personally by the restaurant owner, who escorted them to a private room before leaving.

The food was ordered according to Liu Huanyi's taste. Liu Huanyi was quite satisfied with the meal. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Liu Huanyi thought it was a waiter coming to serve the food, but after opening the door he found out it was Huo Yuli's assistant.

"Boss Huo, I've got it. It's still hot."

The assistant put a thermal bag on the table, opened the bag, took out a food box and placed it on the table.

"Boss Huo, should we open it now?"

Huo Yuli nodded, and the assistant opened the lid. An aroma immediately filled the air. Inside the box was a kind of pastry that Liu Huanyi often ate when he was a child.

Not only that, the assistant opened it and introduced: "This is freshly made in the kitchen, Miss Liu, Mr. Huo, enjoy it."

The assistant's words surprised Liu Huanyi. Did Huo Yuli specially ask someone to do it for her?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Huo Yuli more.

"You go out first."

Huo Yuli nodded calmly and asked his assistant to go out first. He then personally cut the pastries and placed them in front of Liu Huanyi.

"I remember you loved this when you were little. Try it and see if it tastes the same as when you were little."

Just because she loved to eat it when she was a child, Huo Yuli had it made and sent to her? Liu Huanyi was shocked by Huo Yuli's kindness, but she didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Huo...people's tastes change. What you liked when you were a child may not be what you like when you grow up."

Huo Yuli may have understood her hint, but he did not respond. He just looked into her eyes and said, "Others may change, but I won't."

“…”

His sudden seriousness overwhelmed Liu Huanyi, who quickly lowered his head to avoid his sight.

The pastries tasted really good. Liu Huanyi took two bites and the feeling in his memory slowly awakened.

She didn't think this was a good thing, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "I can't eat anymore."

Huo Yuli immediately said, "If you can't eat it, then don't eat it. When you want to eat it, I'll have someone make it for you."

Liu Huanyi never forced himself to do anything, so he picked up his bag and left. Huo Yuli suddenly spoke.

"What happened back then? Why did you leave so suddenly?"

As expected, I asked.

Liu Huanyi was not surprised that Huo Yuli would ask. She was even surprised why Huo Yuli waited until now to ask.

She slowly picked up the water cup and took a sip. "Back then, Jiang Chao was getting more and more excessive, almost pushing us to death. In order to avoid him, we had to come up with this solution. In addition, due to the needs of career development, we could no longer stay in the original place, so we had to leave. The fire was an accident, not intentional on our part."

Huo Yuli listened quietly, and then said: "If it weren't for the fire, maybe I wouldn't have easily believed Jiang Siyu's words, and wouldn't have easily believed that she was you."

"You--" Liu Huanyi frowned slightly, feeling that it was necessary to explain things clearly to Huo Yuli.

She restrained her previous expression and said in a slightly serious tone: "Huo Yuli, you have to understand one thing. Even if I didn't leave at the beginning, I might not keep in touch with you later."

"At least not like now."

She was speechless for a moment and asked, "Why do you keep dwelling on the past? And..."

She was just a baby at the time and couldn't understand what Huo Yuli was obsessed with!

Huo Yuli never thought of himself as a person who dwelled on the past, but when questioned by Liu Huanyi, he didn't know how to refute.

Liu Huanyi added: "You always dwell on the past, so how can you move on? Are you living your life to its fullest? Instead of dwelling on the past, why not look to the future and do what you should do."

Seeing that she was becoming impatient, Huo Yuli immediately changed his words.

"Okay, let's talk about the future."

"kindness?"

Liu Huanyi was puzzled. Did he really have something to say to her?
