The car drove smoothly all the way, and Huo Qi, as always, was a chatterbox, making Lin Ruanruan laugh non-stop the whole way.
As the car entered the tree-lined road, the temperature suddenly became refreshing and pleasant. Lin Ruanruan took out her phone and took pictures of the scenery outside the window.
The resort is surrounded by greenery, with flowers in full bloom and butterflies fluttering at the entrance. Inside, the sounds of guqin music fill the air, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
It was just noon when Huo Qi took Lin Ruanruan to a private room for lunch. Lin Ruanruan looked at the empty villa with some confusion, "Isn't this place open to the public?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qi said, "I usually accept banquet reservations, but I cleared the place today."
"Wow," Lin Ruanruan blinked, then laughed, "This is the first time I've ever experienced having the whole place to myself. Brother Huo, you've got that domineering CEO vibe from novels!"
Huo Qi put his arm around Lin Ruanruan and walked forward, saying, "Try to read less online novels every day, or you'll ruin your brain."
"I call this 'drawing together ideas from all directions.' Online novels are so interesting these days, full of all sorts of imaginative and ingenious ideas. There's nothing they can't write, only things you can't imagine," Lin Ruanruan said, trying to defend herself.
"Wow, that's amazing! When can you recommend some movies to me?"
Lin Ruanruan puffed out her chest, "I have tons of them on my phone and computer. I'll invite you to take a look later; many of them are high-energy clips that I've extracted."
"Then why not do it now? After you've had your fill of fun at the resort, I'll take you back so you can see for yourself?"
"No problem." After agreeing, Lin Ruanruan felt a pang in her heart. Had she forgotten something?
I touched my handbag, feeling even more nervous. This was still the most important thing today.
Lin Ruanruan secretly decided that she would find an opportunity after dinner.
Huo Qi was completely unaware of Lin Ruanruan's inner thoughts at this moment. He simply led her to a private room, where the signature dishes had been laid out on the table since they arrived at the resort.
Both of them disliked being watched while eating. Huo Qi saw that everything was ready and told the waiter to go and rest, and that he would ring the bell if needed.
It has to be said that Huo Qi has a discerning palate; whatever he recommends is absolutely delicious.
Lin Ruanruan was extremely satisfied with the meal. Huo Qi would even tell Lin Ruanruan about the origin and processing methods of the ingredients, which Lin Ruanruan listened to with great interest.
I just felt that the dishes that were already delicious became even more delicious. No wonder many Black Pearl restaurants give their dishes a story and explain it to customers.
Listening to the story and explanation makes the taste of the food feel different.
After dinner, Huo Qi took Lin Ruanruan for a walk to digest their food. Lin Ruanruan was looking at the beautiful scenery absentmindedly. Just as she was about to overcome her nervousness and call out to Huo Qi, Huo Qi looked at Lin Ruanruan and smiled, "Ruanruan, there's a small animal park up ahead where you can feed the animals. I'll take you there."
"Ah...haha, okay, okay." Lin Ruanruan pursed her lips and quietly stomped her foot. Serves you right for being nervous. Now you have to cheer yourself up again.
It's called a small animal park, and inside there are not only hamsters, rabbits, and chinchillas that people can touch and play with, but also alpacas and miniature horses leisurely strolling around the yard.
Huo Qi handed the food to Lin Ruanruan to feed the alpaca. Lin Ruanruan hesitated, looking at the alpaca's cute appearance. "It shouldn't spit on me like it does online, right?"
"No, they're very obedient." Huo Qi used the sliced carrots to lure the alpacas, and several alpacas came running over to surround Huo Qi, their little feet clattering.
Lin Ruanruan found it strange, but instead of joining in the fun, she took many photos of Huo Qi.
After Huo Qi finished feeding the alpacas, he saw Lin Ruanruan jumping around in pictures. He went over and looked at them with her. "Ruanruan's skills are as excellent as ever. She actually made me look so handsome in the picture."
Lin Ruanruan smiled shyly, "That's because you're naturally very pretty."
As the two approached the rabbit hutch, some baby rabbits came running after them. Huo Qi squatted down and picked up a lop-eared rabbit and a panda rabbit, handing them to Lin Ruanruan.
Lin Ruanruan quickly took it, "It's so soft and fluffy, this pet rabbit is much cuter than the meat rabbits that Grandpa raises."
Huo Qi was very satisfied to see the three rabbits together in the same frame, and he also took a picture of Lin Ruanruan.
After seeing the animals, Huo Qi took Lin Ruanruan on a sightseeing bus, which offered a panoramic view of the mountain scenery.
Throughout the ordeal, Lin Ruanruan kept looking for an opportunity, but Huo Qi's mouth never stopped. Lin Ruanruan helplessly rubbed her forehead; her courage had been shattered for the second time.
Huo Qi looked at Lin Ruanruan with some confusion, "Ruanruan, is there something on your mind that you want to tell me?"
Ruan Ruan seems to be hiding something on her mind today.
Lin Ruanruan paused for a moment, but in the end she didn't say it. It felt a little strange to say it now. She shook her head and said, "I heard that Brother Fang Si is getting engaged to Sister Xue'er. I wonder which day they will choose."
Huo Qi raised an eyebrow. "Fang Si, they'll probably keep a low profile. They'll just have a simple get-together with their family and friends and that should be it. Fang Si is a very picky person, only Li Xue'er is patient enough to put up with him."
Lin Ruanruan chuckled, "Does he know you're talking about him like that?"
"Of course he knows," Huo Qi shrugged nonchalantly. "I ran into him just a couple of days ago, and he was bragging to me that he has a wife. I immediately shut him down."
"He used to coax and deceive Li Xue'er, which made me feel ashamed. It's just that Li Xue'er isn't as sophisticated as Fang Si, and she was easily fooled."
Lin Ruanruan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Who's lying to whom is still uncertain. Sister Xue'er is very clever."
Huo Qi raised an eyebrow, "What inside information does our Ah Ruan know?"
Lin Ruanruan didn't keep them in suspense, "At first, Sister Xue'er didn't understand why Brother Fang Si approached her. Later, I honestly told her that Brother Fang Si had feelings for her, and she started teasing him. The two of them went back and forth like that for a while, and now Brother Fang Si is completely under Sister Xue'er's thumb."
