It was not until Liu Jin and Liu Ze rushed over from Su City and the two families sat together that they sorted out the whole thing.
Huo Yuli was suddenly overjoyed. Not only did Liu Huanyi admit that she liked him, but she was also his marriage partner. He didn't know what to be happy about first.
"Closing your mouth, you look really disgusting." Huo Shu looked at him with disdain, "You weren't like this before."
"Uncle, I'm in love."
Huo Yuli cheerfully repeated it to Huo Shu over and over again. Huo Shu was speechless: "I know, you have said it N times, I am not deaf."
Huo Yuli didn't care about Huo Shu's teasing, he knew that Huo Shu was jealous of him.
After confirming their relationship, Huo Yuli became very attached to Liu Huanyi. Even when the two families had dinner together, he would sit next to Liu Huanyi.
"Isn't he too clingy like this?" Liu Jin asked Liu Huanyi with amusement.
"Won't."
Liu Huanyi lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised with happiness.
“It feels good.”
That day, Liu Huanyi told Liu Ze that Jiang Chao went to her house to attack him, and Liu Jin heard it. Despite her body just beginning to recover, she insisted on coming to Beijing to see her daughter.
Fortunately, she recovered faster after waking up, and was able to get out of bed and walk in less than half a month, so the two families were able to sit together for dinner.
"I never thought that Xiao Huo could be so clingy. Judging from his appearance, I thought he was a cold-hearted person." Liu Jin joked, "Our baby actually likes this."
Liu Huanyi retorted shyly, "Mom, you're still blaming me, but you're also accompanied by Uncle Xu every day."
Xu Chuxiao went from Beijing to Sucheng to take care of her, and then from Sucheng to Beijing. He would knock on her door on time every day to bring her chicken soup.
After arriving in Beijing, Liu Jin didn't want a nanny, so Xu Chuxiao picked her up and drove her to the hospital for a check-up.
In their spare time, the two would go to art exhibitions and listen to concerts together. Although they didn't have a clear relationship, they were no different from a married couple.
Every time Liu Huanyi asked her when she planned to settle down with Xu Chuxiao, she would always say embarrassedly: "Let's talk about it after you and Xiao Huo are settled."
Anyway, they have waited for a lifetime, and it is a blessing to be able to wait for it, so there is no need to rush.
Liu Huanyi is still working in the IT department of Huo's company. Huo Yuli is very optimistic about her search engine and has repeatedly tried to invest money in its development but was rejected.
"Why is it so difficult to spend some money on you?" Huo Yuli raised his eyebrows. "Can you give me a chance to show my abilities? I can't compare to you in information technology, and I can only earn some points by spitting out gold coins. Why don't you give me a chance?"
"I just want to build my own search engine, and I don't need your help. As long as I don't affect the company's business, you are not allowed to control me."
After Liu Huanyi started dating him, she would occasionally reveal a hint of coquettishness, which made Huo Yuli unable to let go of her.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
When Mr. Huo found out that Liu Huanyi was the little granddaughter of the Gu family, he felt extremely ashamed and found an excuse to travel around the world, avoiding them for several months.
Huo Shu thought it was funny. "The old man has lived for almost a hundred years, and this is the first time he has encountered such an embarrassing thing."
In the end, it was Huo Yuli who called the old man and invited him to come back to host the birthday party, and he reluctantly agreed.
Liu Huanyi also went to the airport to pick up the old man that day.
When he saw her, Mr. Huo turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Huo Yuli.
"Grandpa, you can't live without seeing her forever. What will you do when we get married in the future?"
Old Master Huo thought about it and it made sense. What's more, as an elder, it would be awkward for him to see the younger generation feeling uncomfortable.
So he went forward courageously.
"Long time no see, Xiao Liu."
"Hello, Grandpa Huo."
Liu Huanyi's attitude was not very enthusiastic, but he was well-behaved, which made Mr. Huo feel relieved.
"Grandpa, let's go eat first. Mrs. Gu and her family are here too."
Mr. Huo wondered, "Why do we have to go out for dinner? Can't we just go home?"
"You've been hiding outside for several months, and people who don't know you would think you have a problem with the Gu family."
"Of course not!"
Old Master Huo had no choice but to go with them. All the members of the Gu family were present, not only Old Master and Old Lady Gu, but also Liu Jin, Liu Ze, and Liu Shun.
"Wow, such a big event." Mr. Huo laughed, "I am so honored."
"Grandpa, sit down."
It was said to be a welcome party for Mr. Huo, but the protagonists were actually Huo Yuli and Liu Huanyi.
The two of them sat in the middle, and Mrs. Gu hinted intentionally or unintentionally that they could get married.
Liu Huanyi didn't like to hear this. She still had a lot of career to strive for and didn't want to enter the cage of marriage so soon.
Old Mrs. Gu naturally doted on her granddaughter and was reluctant to say anything to her, so she put pressure on Huo Yuli.
"Xiao Huo, are you sincere about marrying our Huan Yi? If you don't want to marry, the engagement doesn't have to count."
Huo Yuli was tactful and gentle, but still had an attitude: "Mrs. Gu, as long as Huanyi is willing, I will definitely marry you. But now we are both still working hard on our careers, so I want to talk about marriage after a while."
When he said the last word, Huo Yuli took Liu Huanyi's hand and gave Mrs. Gu and Liu Jin a serious look.
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. I'm just testing your attitude. Don't think of disappointing us. She is the treasure of our whole family. If you let her down, the Gu family will not show mercy."
The Huo family had never been threatened like this before. Old Master Huo was a little unhappy and was about to retort, but he saw his grandson nodding hurriedly, looking like he was obeying his orders.
Mr. Huo simply didn't care.
This grandson is useless.
Old Master Huo began to think about the possibility of finding a new heir, and then he realized that there seemed to be no one in the Huo family who was more capable than Huo Yuli, so he could only turn a blind eye.
After dinner, they chatted for a while. Just after nine o'clock, Huo Yuli suggested that everyone go to the terrace to get some fresh air.
Liu Huanyi was puzzled. "There is no wind today, what is the wind blowing?"
"Then let's get some fresh air." Huo Yuli held her shoulders and pushed her to the terrace.
Liu Huanyi looked down and saw Hu Die, Xing Zhao, Wei Zhou, Feng Yu, and Xu Chuxiao were all downstairs.
She looked at Huo Yuli in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
What answered her was the colorful fireworks rising up behind Huo Yuli.
The fireworks rose into the air and exploded into a gorgeous firework, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Liu Huanyi didn't like such exaggerated means of making people happy, but if it was Huo Yuli...well, it was really not bad.
The colorful light shone on Huo Yuli's angular face. He took Liu Huanyi's hand and spoke in a low and magnetic voice.
"I haven't officially confessed to you yet. I like you, I want to take care of you, and I want to marry you in the future. Are you willing to be with me?"
Liu Huanyi couldn't help laughing. He was asking these questions only because he had given his heart to her.
"I do."
