The Huo family and the Qu family were interested in marriage?

This news shocked Su Yunbai.

On second thought, it seemed natural.

Childhood sweethearts, well-matched, why not?

Ji Cheng said: "At that time, the two families only talked about it privately, and not many people knew the inside story. Why didn't they mention it later, I don't know..." As

he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Su Yunbai came back to his senses and met Ji Cheng's worried eyes.

She smiled as if to conceal it, "I'm just a little surprised. Today I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before, thank you very much..."

Ji Cheng wanted to say something else, but someone in the living room was already calling him, "Where is Boss Ji?"

Su Yunbai urged him, "Hurry over, they are already looking for you. I'll go over after waiting for a while."

Ji Cheng looked at her again, didn't insist, and went to the living room.

Su Yunbai took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and walked towards the living room.

He had just taken two steps when an excited voice came from the living room, "Boss Ji, where have you been? We are about to change venues! Jufeng Villa, let's go!

"I won't even bother to open any wine that is not exhibition-level tonight! This is Brother Huo's treat..."

Su Yunbai paused.

Her husband was about to spend a fortune to make the beautiful woman smile...

Did she come at the wrong time?

Before Su Yunbai could hesitate to come to a conclusion, another voice rang out: "Huh? Where's Teacher Su? Why isn't she here? "

Deliberate surprise and innocence - it was Zhou Yueran.

Sure enough, she thought too simply.

- She herself was part of the excitement, how could she get away so easily?

Zhou Yueran, who was at the other end of the living room, kept grabbing Su Yunbai, who was not present, and looked as if she was going to mobilize everyone to find her.

Su Yunbai was no longer in a hurry when she heard that.

She even stopped and looked at the decorations on both sides of the corridor.

When Zhou Yueran brought a group of little sisters to find Su Yunbai in a grand manner, she was folding her arms and looking at a potted plant placed on one side of the corridor, looking fascinated.

Zhou Yueran was so angry about looking for someone, and she was very displeased to see Su Yunbai's calm look: "Teacher Su is here? But it's so easy for us to find her! "

Su Yunbai responded and turned around, looking a little surprised, "Are you looking for me? I'm really sorry, I found the potted plants here quite interesting, and I was so engrossed in them that I might not have paid much attention..."

Zhou Yueran laughed, "Teacher Su, are you joking? I handled these potted plants myself, and they're just ordinary things to me, nothing special.

" "Could it be that... Teacher Su has never seen it?"

The little sisters behind Zhou Yueran looked at each other, seemingly embarrassed.

The smile on Zhou Yueran's face became even brighter, "It shouldn't be, right? Brother Huo has a big family and a big business, and he's provided you with plenty of food and clothes, so how could he be short of a few potted plants?

"But since you like it... then, you don't have to ask Qingyin, I can make the decision and give it to you! "

Su Yunbai smiled slightly, "That's not necessary. I dare not put this indoors. I suggest you move it out as soon as possible..."

She paused, "This plant has a slight toxin. It's okay to put it outdoors. It's quite ornamental. But if it is left indoors for a long time, it may cause the hair to become sparse and yellow at best, or even cause hair loss at worst..."

As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept across Zhou Yueran's hairline.

Zhou Yueran's face suddenly turned red.

- As everyone knows, the hairline is Miss Zhou's unspeakable pain, and it is always a sure thing.

Seeing that Zhou Yueran was about to explode, Qu Qingyin hurriedly rushed up from behind the crowd and held Zhou Yueran.

She said politely to Su Yunbai: "Yueran has a childish temper. She has never cared about these trivial matters since she was a child. She was in a hurry and made a joke. I'm sorry to embarrass Teacher Su."

Su Yunbai smiled faintly, "Not really."

Qu Qingyin changed the subject: "We actually came here specifically to see Teacher Su. It's almost dinner time, we plan to go to Jufeng Villa for dinner, and then get together after dinner.

"Does Teacher Su have any dietary restrictions?"

Su Yunbai smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I have something else to do tonight, so I may not be able to go. You guys go and have fun."

"Brother Huo is treating us, and you don't even give me this face?" Zhou Yueran got angry directly.

Su Yunbai ignored Zhou Yueran, just looked at Qu Qingyin, and said sincerely: "You have to coax the 'children' at Qiao Qian's party, thank you for your hard work."

Qu Qingyin's face froze.

She wanted to persuade Su Yunbai again, but someone in the living room had already shouted: "Ladies! Are you ready? The car has arrived at the door..."

When someone is urging, time seems to be tight, and many things have a reason not to be too polite.

The matter was settled.

Su Yunbai breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone started to walk out.

The girls, especially Zhou Yueran and her group, chattered all the time. But at this moment, everyone was unexpectedly quiet, almost deliberately not talking.

Su Yunbai didn't think much about it. She lagged behind the others a few steps, walking forward while lowering her head to send messages to Xu Jinzhi.

After taking two steps, she was blocked by a long leg that suddenly stretched out.

Su Yunbai stopped and raised her head.

There is a big corner between the corridor and the living room, which is made into a chamfered shape. The overall transition is natural, which has the effect of separating the vision of the corridor and the living room.

Huo Qinian is on the central axis of this chamfer.

Su Yunbai realized it later.

——No wonder the group of people were silent just now, it turned out that he was here.

Huo Qinian was leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets, one leg slightly bent, and the other leg stretched forward, so that his black leather shoes were right on the path that Su Yunbai had to pass.

The owner of the leather shoes was looking at her with a smile, "Teacher Su, you are quite eloquent."

Su Yunbai pursed her lips.

Most of the time, it was difficult for her to get much information from Huo Qinian's expression. For example, now, she didn't know how long he had been watching here, and how much he had seen clearly.

But she knew very well that he didn't really mean to compliment her.

Su Yunbai thought Huo Qinian would say something else, so she stood there waiting.

Unexpectedly, he didn't mean to say more, and simply stood up and walked out, as if the words just now were just a casual joke.

Su Yunbai stopped for a moment, lowered her eyes and followed.

There were so many things going on this afternoon, but only at this moment, she was very aware of her slow and heavy heartbeat, and her mood that was slowly sliding to the bottom.

She suddenly felt that everything this afternoon was boring.

Xu Jinzhi and Ji Cheng's words to persuade her made sense, and she shouldn't have come.

Su Yunbai was daydreaming when she suddenly heard Huo Qinian's voice: "Are you really not going?"

The low, hoarse voice, with a smile, sounded as if he was patiently coaxing someone.

But when Su Yunbai looked over, she saw a pair of playful eyes.

The owner of those eyes had a smile that was almost mischievous on his face, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come out, why don't you watch it from beginning to end? How can half an afternoon be enough?"

Su Yunbai paused.

Sometimes she felt that she was too sensitive and could keep thinking about the smallest things in her heart. But sometimes, she felt that all this was done on purpose by Huo Qinian.

What does "how can half an afternoon be enough" mean?

Enough for what?

At this time, Su Yunbai would be fed up with the way Huo Qinian spoke: everything seemed to be unintentional, but if you tasted it carefully, it seemed to have a hidden meaning.

This is really too torturous. It's like doing a reading comprehension test. You want to use a magnifying glass to figure out his thoughts. After you finally think you have figured out something, he turns around and says "You think too much" to put you back to square one.

Is he used to talking like this, or is he just so unhappy with her?

Su Yunbai really doesn't have the energy to guess: "Qinian, what do you want to say?"

"Shouldn't you know what I want to say?" Huo Qinian looked at her, still with a smile in his eyes, still calm and composed.

Su Yunbai looked tired, "You know what I mean. Can we just be frank and talk nicely?"

"Oh?" Huo Qinian raised his eyebrows, "Teacher Su, before you ask others to do this, shouldn't you do it yourself?"

Su Yunbai had a vague idea.

Was he unhappy because she came to the party without telling him?

Su Yunbai took a deep breath, "If it's about today's party... I was invited. Zhou Yueran wanted me to come, and she would cooperate with the matter in City C."

Huo Qinian's lips curled up a little smile, "Teacher Su, it's boring to say that, right? This doesn't seem like a happy occasion."

Su Yunbai pursed his lips and held his breath, "Okay. I want to come myself."

Huo Qinian's eyes revealed a look of "as expected", "Go on."

Su Yunbai said bluntly, "I've always heard that Qu Qingyin is your first love girlfriend..."

Huo Qinian's eyes did not move.

Obviously, he knew the rumor very well.

But he obviously didn't think it was a big deal, and only said, "Just because of this? Don't believe all rumors. I thought you should have known this.

"Didn't you do very well before? "

He looked at Su Yunbai with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, as if he was disappointed that she was not stable enough.

Su Yunbai's breathing trembled.

Her temper also rose a little: "But I heard that the Huo family and the Qu family once wanted to get married."

Huo Qinian raised his eyebrows and finally became interested.

He said: "That's right. The elders of our two families said it privately and didn't hide it from us. Qingyin and I met for half a year in high school, and found that we were not suitable for each other, so we never mentioned it again. "

Su Yunbai's breath was choked.

That's it?

Just that simple?

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai with a knowing look, as if he saw through her little thoughts, "I know that for you, the marriage environment of the people around you is not very good. Most of the men have 'red flags flying at home and colorful flags flying outside', so you are affected..."

"But that's them, not me." He paused, and said, "Anyway, Yunbai, please think rationally, if I really want to do something outside of marriage, why should I hide it from you? "

This was too revealing. Su Yunbai's face almost turned pale immediately.

She felt like someone had poured a basin of ice water on her head. She couldn't help but shiver in the afternoon.

Why does a man have to hide his affair after cheating? Isn't it because he still cares about the mistress of the house?

But what about her can make Huo Qinian care about her?

Family background? The man dare not openly tear his face because he depends on the woman?

As everyone knows, Mrs. Huo's family is ordinary, which is the most ordinary majority.

Huo Qinian has never needed to rely on Mrs. Huo's power.

Feelings? The man has shared weal and woe with the woman or has loved her deeply. Are they so indecisive that they still want to maintain their dignity even when their feelings have faded?

If this is said about Huo Qinian and her, not to mention outsiders, even she herself does not believe it.

In this case, if Huo Qinian really wants to find some excitement outside of marriage, why would he wait for her to test and verify it?

He himself would not hide it.

How reasonable it is!

Such a simple truth, how could she not understand it?

Su Yunbai stood there woodenly.

Her eyes were unconsciously fixed on Huo Qinian's face, but at this moment they completely lost focus.

Huo Qinian could see that Su Yunbai was distraught, but he did not intend to let it go easily.

He looked at Su Yunbai, his usual smile gone, his eyes looked a little cold, and a little condescending, "I know you don't like luxury cars, luxury houses, and luxury goods, and you are not used to the boring daily life of noble ladies...

" "You have your career, your ambition... I don't object, I even welcome it.

"But since you have made a choice, you have to bear it to the end. There is no such thing as having your cake and eating it too. "

I allow you to be a free Mrs. Huo, but you should also understand the limits of a free Mrs. Huo, and don't always try to control my life and social life.

"Mrs. Huo, can you do it?"

Su Yunbai's eyes moved, fixed on Huo Qinian, and didn't move away for a long time.

She looked too hard, as if she wanted to see through Huo Qinian's skin and see into his heart.

Huo Qinian didn't like such eyes. He frowned and was about to ask again when he

heard Mrs. Huo's answer: "Yes."

The voice was a little light and a little floating, like a whisper that would be blown away by the wind.
