Chapter 387 Tonight, I'll be Huo Shenyuan
When the red light disappeared, she fainted, and Huo Shenyuan was able to move again.
"Qingning." Huo Shenyuan hugged her tightly, terrified.
"Qingning, wake up."
But she didn't wake up.
At this moment, Huo Shenyuan was surprised to find that about 50% of his injuries had been repaired, the scars had faded, and the uneven wounds had been smoothed out.
But she had exhausted her energy, so he carefully brought disinfectant and re-bandaged her wound.
Then, Huo Shenyuan lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"I kissed you, wake up soon, baby."
He was afraid that she would sleep for so long, just like before.
"Baby, wake up."
He kissed her lips earnestly, and sure enough, he saw the red light slowly gathering again.
Could it be that his kiss really could quickly gather her energy?
He lowered his head and continued kissing, kissing her neck, kissing her breasts... Suddenly, he felt her move.
She opened her eyes and saw Huo Shenyuan lowering his head to kiss her.
"What are you doing?" she asked weakly.
He suddenly picked her up and made her cling to him.
"I'm helping you restore your energy."
"Kiss me, hug me, lift me up high."
After saying that, he kissed her lips again, no longer caring about who he was.
He just wanted to satisfy her and help her recover her energy quickly.
"Want to do something else, right?"
His voice was incredibly hoarse, which amused her.
Qingning buried her head in his chest, blushing terribly, and whispered, "I'm hungry."
Huo Shenyuan lifted her head with his hand, "I'll take you to eat."
Qingning's eyes darkened.
Damn, is that not how you phrase it? Why does my sister understand as soon as her brother-in-law tells her he's hungry?
Is it possible that men and women use this word?
The meanings are different.
"Um... could you ask me again?"
"What do you want to eat?" Huo Shenyuan asked again.
Her face darkened, and she huffed, "I'm not eating anymore. I'm saving room for the Huo family's big meal tonight."
“But I’m hungry.” He pressed his forehead against hers.
Qingning's heart skipped a beat. "Which one is hungry?"
"You didn't eat lunch, what do you think?" Huo Shenyuan smiled. With this face, he couldn't cross that red line.
After spending some more time together, Huo Shenyuan took her to get something to eat, and then they went to Fanxing.
The Huo family's year-end banquet was held directly in the largest banquet hall in Fanxing.
The hall was brightly lit and bustling with people.
All of Huo's employees, along with the company's key partners, gathered together.
On stage, the lucky draw segment continued one after another.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wang Bo from the Marketing Department for winning the latest mobile phone!"
"Congratulations to Ms. Li Qiuying from the R&D department for winning the right to use a car for one year!"
The atmosphere was completely ignited, and the cheers almost lifted the roof off.
Even in the corner, Huo Shenyuan, the acting president, couldn't find peace.
He was surrounded by a group of executives and guests, forming an impenetrable circle.
As people took turns offering him a toast, he accepted every toast and drank each one cleanly and efficiently.
Today he was wearing a well-tailored black suit, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an upright posture.
The light fell on him, outlining his clear, hard jawline.
Bai Yu and Sheng Weiwei also came. Fu Beichen sat not far away, while Gu Xingnian stayed at the old house with her grandfather and did not come.
Sheng Weiwei gently nudged Qingning with her elbow and whispered in her ear.
"Qingning, tell me honestly, who's more handsome, Huo Xin or Huo Shenyuan?"
Qingning's chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
She looked up, her gaze passing through the bustling crowd and landing precisely on the tall, handsome man.
"They all look good."
Her gaze returned to the table, looking at Bai Yu with obvious pleading in her eyes.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you go help him?"
Fu Beichen had already gotten up and joined the toasting party.
His appearance immediately diverted most of the firepower, finally giving Huo Shenyuan a moment to catch his breath.
Bai Yu smiled as he looked at Qing Ning's protective manner.
"Okay, you can eat in peace."
He picked up his wine glass, strolled over, and directly opened up a second battlefield.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, everyone's attention was successfully diverted.
"You haven't really fallen for Huo Xin, have you?"
Sheng Weiwei's probing was direct and undisguised.
"Sister Weiwei, is there something you want to tell me?"
Qingning suddenly smiled, picked up a piece of tender fish and put it into Sheng Weiwei's bowl.
"Aren't you tired of going in circles like this?"
"You know?" Sheng Weiwei asked seriously.
"Would you share my answer with them?" Qingning asked back, her eyes bright and clear. Right now, she was all about being intelligent.
"Of course I'm on your side!" Sheng Weiwei immediately stated her position. "We, the Sheng sisters, never betray our own people."
"Okay, then I'll just get straight to the point."
Qingning put down her chopsticks, leaned forward slightly, and looked at her intently.
“I know everything you’ve tried so hard to keep from me. But he himself is still in the dark. So, I don’t mind playing along with him.”
Sheng Weiwei's eyes widened instantly.
"Damn, you've only been in school for a few days, and you seem like a completely different person?"
"Are you still the innocent little rabbit Li Qingning I know?"
She reached out in disbelief and pinched Qingning's smooth cheek.
"So, you're good to him only because he is that person."
"Of course." Qingning's tone was extremely firm.
"No matter what he becomes, I will never despise him. Even if he goes blind, becomes deaf, or loses an arm or a leg, I will never leave him."
“I’ve already peeked at his face, and he’s not ugly at all.”
"Because he is Huo Shenyuan, and no one in this world can replace him."
As she finished speaking, Qingning's eyes welled up with tears.
Sheng Weiwei's heart softened, and she reached out to hug her, gently patting her back.
"Qingning, you've really grown up and matured."
She solemnly made a promise.
"Don't worry, I will never tell this secret to a second person."
"I will not give up on him." Qingning sniffed, her voice thick with nasal tone, yet it carried a powerful strength.
"Just like back then, he searched for me all over the world without hesitation."
She now finally understands what the saying 'love can overcome everything' means.
Qingning raised her moist eyes and looked at the man again. He stood in the dazzling light and shadow, tall and imposing, like a god descended to earth.
“If he knew all this, he would be very moved. But the mask represents his pride, so you should still treat him as Huo Xin,” Sheng Weiwei sighed.
"Mm!" Qingning nodded gently.
"Qingning, is it really you?" A clear female voice rang out from behind.
Tang Xiaoya, dressed in a champagne-colored dress, walked over quickly, her face beaming with undisguised delight.
Why are you here?
Qingning quickly introduced him to the people around her.
"This is my older sister, Sheng Weiwei."
"This is my classmate, Tang Xiaoya."
"Hello, Sister Weiwei." Tang Xiaoya greeted her obediently, but her eyes darted around and she grabbed Qingning's wrist.
"Come here with me for a moment."
She mysteriously pulled Qingning away.
The two walked through the bustling crowd of people, and Tang Xiaoya raised her chin and pointed gently in one direction.
"Look, isn't that man handsome?"
Qingning looked in the direction she pointed.
Guest table number 3.
Huo Shenyuan's tall figure was standing by the table, holding a wine glass, and talking politely with someone.
“That’s President Huo, he’s definitely handsome.” Qingning rolled her eyes at her, thinking the question was unnecessary.
"It's not President Huo, it's the one to his left." Tang Xiaoya said anxiously, pointing her finger further forward, "The one in the white suit, take a good look."
Qingning's gaze passed over Huo Shenyuan and landed on the man beside him.
Wow.
She couldn't help but let out a small gasp of surprise.
"He's very handsome, he has the air of an Oscar winner."
The man was wearing a well-tailored pure white suit, with a tall and straight figure, a cool and aloof demeanor, and exquisitely beautiful features that were flawless.
Qingning understood instantly.
"Is he the boss you dream of sleeping with?"
She looked at Tang Xiaoya with a surprised expression.
"They are indeed very pleasing to the eye."
I originally thought that the looks of my two brothers-in-law and Huo Shenyuan were already at the pinnacle of human beauty.
I never expected this man to be such a jerk.
Haicheng is a great place, full of handsome men.
"His name is Yan Jin."
Tang Xiaoya's eyes sparkled, reflecting only the image of that man.
"I'm now 26 steps away from him."
She stretched out her finger and carefully measured the distance in the air.
Qingning covered her mouth, almost bursting out laughing.
She remembered the story Tang Xiaoya had told her.
When this young woman first came to Haicheng to make her way in the world, she had terrible luck; her wallet was stolen completely.
Having no other option, she wrote a cardboard sign and stood by the roadside asking for help.
People passing by thought she was a fraud and pointed at her.
Just when she was about to despair, a black Bentley pulled up.
Yan Jin's car.
He didn't even get out of the car; he simply had the driver give her a thousand yuan in cash.
With just one glance, Tang Xiaoya was completely captivated.
Later, she watched a financial channel and learned that the man was the top boss of Kaka Entertainment.
Suddenly, her life goal became clear.
She worked incredibly hard to get a job as an assistant at Kaka Entertainment, and even lost 20 pounds to look good on camera.
Later, he got lucky and was selected to film two short online dramas that nobody watched, becoming a nobody in the entertainment industry.
But she couldn't even see the boss.
So she applied for a training spot in the public relations department. If she passed the training, she would have the opportunity to see him at company events.
Qingning's heart stirred as she looked at her friend's infatuated expression.
"I'll help you close the gap by 25 steps."
She took Tang Xiaoya's hand and, without saying a word, walked straight towards table number 3.
She walked straight up to Huo Shenyuan.
"Mr. Huo, I should probably head back now." Qingning looked up and said goodbye to him.
"I'll have the driver take you."
Huo Shenyuan raised his hand and gently stroked her head.
"No need."
Qingning shook her head, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Yan Jin and Tang Xiaoya, whom she had pulled over.
"I'll go back with Tang Xiaoya."
After she finished speaking, she calculated the angle and turned around.
An accidental collision.
"Ah!" Tang Xiaoya stumbled from the impact and fell straight forward.
With a clear goal in mind, she fell into Yan Jin's arms.
A pair of small hands firmly rested on the man's pectoral muscles.
Wow.
It's really hard.
Tang Xiaoya's face instantly turned bright red, and her mind went completely blank.
"Have you touched enough?" A cold male voice came from above.
Yan Jin stared down at the pretty, innocent-looking baby-faced girl in her arms with a sullen face.
Is she... even an adult yet?
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Yan."
Tang Xiaoya withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her soul almost flying out of her body in fright.
"I...I just lost my balance." After saying that, she didn't dare to lift her head and fled the scene of the crime.
Qingning raised her eyes and winked at Huo Shenyuan.
"Tang Xiaoya just secretly told me that you are better looking than her boss."
"I think so too."
A smile spread across Huo Shenyuan's eyes.
“Call me when you get back to school.”
"Mmm." Qingning was satisfied and followed Tang Xiaoya's steps.
Yan Jin, standing beside her, frowned slightly.
Was that impetuous girl from earlier one of the company's artists?
And in front of outsiders, using your friends' words to make yourself lose face?
Tang Xiaoya!
He remembered the name.
Huo Shenyuan chatted casually with Yan Jin for a few more minutes before turning around and going to Bai Yu's table.
At this moment, Bai Yu also returned, his handsome face slightly flushed.
Sheng Weiwei helped him sit down, handed him a cup of hot tea, and whispered something in his ear.
Huo Shenyuan also sat down, seemingly waiting for an answer.
Sheng Weiwei took the initiative to say, "I just tried to get some information out of Qingning, and she said that kisses and hugs help restore energy quickly."
"So, the reason she's been bothering you lately is probably because you look too much like Shen Yuan, and she misses Shen Yuan."
Huo Shenyuan remained silent for a few seconds.
It seems she truly didn't know his identity.
"Just spoil her more. You won't lose out anyway; your wife is still your wife," Sheng Weiwei added.
"You can switch between Zhan Xiao and Bai Yu as husbands anytime now, how lucky you are." Bai Yu smiled and pinched her chin, adding meaningfully, "I never thought that Qing Ning could enjoy two of them."
“We can’t defy fate. Let’s go back early. We’re flying to the capital tomorrow,” Sheng Weiwei said gently.
"Okay." Bai Yu put his arm around her and got up to say goodbye.
The banquet finally came to an end.
Xia Dong took the heavily drunk Huo Shenyuan back to his room and even prepared a hangover soup for him.
Huo Shenyuan loosened his tie and casually tossed it into a corner of the sofa, then sank into the soft leather sofa.
Two buttons on his shirt were undone, revealing his well-defined collarbone; his scars had faded considerably.
Huo Shenyuan leaned back on the sofa, his eyes closed, heavily intoxicated.
He fumbled for his phone and dialed a number he knew by heart.
The call was answered, and his deep voice, hoarse from drinking, asked, "Are you back at your apartment?"
"Hmm." Qingning's voice came through the receiver. "Is the banquet over? Are you drunk?"
He hummed in response.
"I want some hangover soup." He looked at the bowl of soup on the coffee table and suddenly had a slightly impulsive thought. "Could you come over?"
The next second.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qingning was still in the position of talking on the phone, with the phone pressed to her ear, wearing a cute bear nightgown and barefoot.
Huo Shenyuan's heart skipped a beat; he liked this feeling of surprise.
He slowly sat up straight, his eyes swirling with emotions that others couldn't decipher.
He raised his chin and pointed to the bowl of soup on the table.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he uttered two words: "Feed me!"
Qingning paused for a moment, then put down her phone.
She picked up the bowl of soup, which was at just the right temperature, and walked over to him.
She scooped up a spoonful and gently brought it to his lips.
Huo Shenyuan didn't open his mouth.
His gaze was intense, fixed intently on her.
Suddenly, he stretched out his arm, and a tremendous force came from it.
Qingning gasped as he pulled her over, and she sat firmly on his burning hot lap.
His strong arms encircled her waist, holding her firmly in his embrace.
He leaned closer to her and said domineeringly, "Feed her with your mouth."
Qingning's cheeks instantly turned bright red.
She looked at his handsome face so close to hers, and his deep, sharp eyes.
Her heart was pounding.
She actually lowered her head and took a small sip of the warm soup.
Then, she slowly brought her lips to his and transferred the soup from her mouth into his mouth.
The sweetness of the soup hadn't even had a chance to spread.
He had already taken the initiative, grabbing the back of her head with one hand to prevent her from pulling away.
He kissed her lips.
Unlike any other time before.
The kiss was intensely aggressive, deeply inhaling all the fragrance from her mouth.
Qingning felt weak all over from his kisses, and her mind went blank.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally let go of her.
The next moment, he picked her up, took long strides, and walked straight into the room.
His steps were steady, and his hoarse voice fell on her ear, "Tonight, I'll be Huo Shenyuan."
He couldn't take it anymore!
He wanted her so badly.
Qingning stared at him with her big, watery eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
Is he hungry?
