Old Master Huo looked at Xiao Chen's embarrassed face and snorted coldly.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask you. That's enough. Look how embarrassed you are!"
Xiao Chen scratched his head. "Commander, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know what Captain Huo is going to do. Besides, he specifically told me not to talk nonsense a few days ago. Tell me, what can I do?"
Seeing him say this, Mr. Huo simply waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. I won't make it difficult for you. Okay, I'll go and see for myself. I can do whatever I want. You don't have to follow me!"
After saying that, he walked away.
Seeing that he was angry, Xiao Chen hurriedly caught up, still explaining.
"Grandpa, don't be angry, listen to my explanation!"
Huo Jingchen didn't know that he had been seen through by the old man!
As soon as he arrived at the door of Li Mingxi's shop, he immediately became nervous.
He stood at the door motionless, not daring to go in.
If Zhu Qiang knew that his usually brave and powerful leader had become so cowardly, he would definitely laugh his head off!
However, no matter what, things have come to this point. If Huo Jingchen still doesn't dare to go in, he would be too cowardly!
Therefore, looking at the store door in front of him, he walked in with the spirit of a warrior who would never return.
He was so imposing that if you didn't know him, you would think he was going to die heroically in the next moment!
They had agreed to have dinner together, but the time had come and no one had shown up yet. Li Mingde became anxious. He walked to the back, said hello to Li Mingxi, and was about to go out. However, as soon as he reached the door, he saw Huo Jingchen coming in with such a face. He was shocked at that time!
Looking at Huo Jingchen's tragic expression, he spoke uncertainly.
"Brother Huo, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Jingchen didn't expect that the first person he would meet was Li Mingde. He felt a little embarrassed when he was asked this question.
"Ah, nothing, nothing!"
As he spoke, he began to change the subject, "Xiao De, are you not going to eat?"
Li Mingde shook his head. "No, that's not it. Since you haven't come yet, I said I'd go take a look!"
Having said that, he carefully glanced into the room, and seeing that no one came out, he spoke.
"I'm telling you, it's a good thing you came, otherwise, we would have gone out to eat right now. My sister even bought everything for cooking!"
Hearing him say this, Huo Jingchen looked apologetic.
"I'm so sorry, I was delayed just now!"
Li Mingde said indifferently, "No delay, no delay, I'm glad you're here!"
As he spoke, he shouted inside, "Sister, stop it, Brother Huo is here!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
Li Mingxi was cooking and couldn't hear clearly.
"I can't hear you, can you please come in and talk?"
Then with a sizzling sound, the dish was put into the pot.
Li Mingde, who was standing outside, heard the sound and slapped his thigh, "Oh no, my sister has already started cooking!"
As he spoke, he walked in hurriedly.
Then, I saw Li Mingxi stirring the food with a spatula!
Well, the food is already in the pot. If you still want to go out for dinner, there’s no chance!
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Mingxi with a resentful look on his face.
Li Mingxi was busy and didn't notice his resentment.
Li Mingyi, who was standing by, noticed that Huo Jingchen had also come in and quickly greeted him.
"Brother Huo, you're here?"
Huo Jingchen nodded.
Li Mingxi looked up when he heard the voice and saw Huo Jingchen looking at him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Li Mingde, who was standing by, seemed not to notice her embarrassment and spoke directly.
"Sister, look, Brother Huo is here. Why don't we go out to eat?"
"What are you going out to eat? I've already put the meal in the pot, and you tell me you want to go out to eat. Xiao De, you're wasting money!" Li Mingxi said this without raising his head.
Upon hearing this, Li Mingde immediately became unwilling. God knows how long he had been waiting for this meal. Now telling him that he can't eat is absolutely impossible. Not to mention others, he would be the first one to disagree.
No, he spoke directly.
"Sister, that's not what I meant. You said we can't go out to eat, but there are so many of us, and just making this one dish wouldn't be enough. Besides, I've been wanting to eat braised pork for a long time, and you agreed. What's going on? Are you going to go back on your word?"
Li Mingxi also had a reason. "No, don't try to ruin my reputation. I didn't say you can't eat it, but look, my dish is already in the pot and it's almost done. What? Are you going to waste it?"
Hearing her say this, Li Mingde was about to cry.
"Who said it's going to be wasted, sister? Why are you so unreasonable? Have you forgotten what grandpa and grandma told you to take good care of yourself? Look at how thin you are. When grandpa and grandma see you like this, they will definitely be very sad!"
Li Mingxi hadn't expected that Xiao De's words would become more and more outrageous. "How could she be thinner? She's obviously fat, okay?" And yet, the child actually said this. Wasn't this just a lie?
Thinking of this, she became a little impatient. "I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense to me. If I lose my patience, you'll be the one who suffers!"
Looking at Huo Jingchen standing beside him, Li Mingde stamped his feet anxiously.
"Sister, how can you say that? Don't I want to save face? Brother Huo is still watching us. Aren't you making a fool of yourself?"
Li Mingxi sneered, "Oh, I didn't expect that you also know how to make fun of others. Then you said that just now, and you don't feel ashamed of it yourself, so why should I feel ashamed?"
Before she could finish, Huo Jingchen spoke first.
"I don't mind, I don't mind!"
After saying this, he saw the three siblings all looking at him, then he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay, just continue!"
Li Mingde didn't expect Huo Jingchen to speak like this. What's going on? Is he doing this on purpose? Is he trying to make fun of himself?
As expected, he didn't agree with what people said about valuing women over friends before, but now it seems that his ancestors were right. The way Huo Jingchen is doing now, doesn't it mean that he doesn't take him seriously at all?
Li Mingxi had no idea that in such a short period of time, Li Mingde had already come up with such a big drama in his mind.
Seeing that he was staring at her, Li Mingxi became a little angry.
"What are you doing, Xiao De? You're just standing there like a pillar, right? You didn't see any guests coming, you don't know how to entertain them, and you're just standing there looking at them for the whole time?"
Before she could finish her words, Li Mingyi came with hot water.
"Brother Huo, I'm so sorry, this is warm water, please drink some!"
Huo Jingchen held the water in one hand and spoke embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry, I seem to have caused you some trouble by coming here!"
