Huo Xiao got off work early that day and went to pick up his two children from kindergarten.
Although there are security guards to pick him up, he will still go to pick him up personally when he has time.
Xiaoling and Xiaoyu were very happy to see him and took his hand to walk home.
Unexpectedly, Song Jia decided not to be so tired today and came back early to pick them up.
The family of four walked hand in hand, which made the young security guard quite envious.
Back home, Wang Xiufen handed a strange letter to Song Jia.
Song Jia took the letter and found that there was no postmark or sender information on it.
Tear open the envelope and take out the letter inside. It's a thin sheet of paper with a note about Huo Xiao.
The letter writer, speaking as someone familiar with the factory, said that he saw Huo Xiao with a strange woman.
Song Jia didn't take it seriously and even showed the letter to Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao was furious when he saw this.
"Who's so bored? I only interact with the female workers in the factory when I'm working; I've never had any other contact with women on my own."
Song Jia comforted him, "You must have attracted some unwanted attention from some slut in the factory again. You're handsome and a leader, so countless women want to throw themselves at you."
Seeing how understanding she was, Huo Xiao pulled her into his arms.
"Wife, I am content with having you in my life. How could I possibly go and flirt with other women?"
"By the way, our factory is organizing a social gathering in a couple of days. Why don't you come? It'll be a good opportunity for those who have designs on me to see how beautiful my wife is, and that they have no chance at all."
Huo Xiao became more and more excited and insisted that she come to participate no matter what.
Song Jia felt it was unnecessary.
"I still have a restaurant to take care of, so there's no need for me to go."
Huo Xiao was even angry when he heard that she was unwilling.
"What do you mean? Is making money more important than me? Aren't you afraid your husband will be stolen away by someone else?"
Song Jia then smiled and agreed: "Alright, look how anxious you are. I'll definitely dress up beautifully and outshine all the female workers in your factory."
Two days later, before it was time to leave work, Huo Xiao called Song Jia to ask if she was ready to leave.
Song Jia is getting ready at home.
The weather wasn't quite warm yet, but she specially chose a long woolen dress, put on a trench coat, let her hair down, and wore a wide headband, looking fashionable and beautiful. She didn't look like a mother of two at all; people would believe she was a young lady from a respectable family.
When Xiaoling and Xiaoyu came back, they didn't even recognize their mother because she was so beautiful.
They surrounded her, gazing at her with admiration and showering her with compliments.
After getting dressed, she led the two children to Wang Xiufen and asked her to look after them, as she was going to attend a social gathering.
Wang Xiufen praised her outfit profusely.
"Oh my, it looks so good. You should go and have a nice date with Huo Xiao. Don't worry about the children."
She bumped into Jiang Ning when she entered the car.
When Jiang Ning heard that she was going to a social gathering, she also told her to have fun.
Song Jia slung her handbag over her shoulder, put on her high heels, found a three-wheeled vehicle, and headed towards the textile factory.
When she arrived at the factory gate, Huo Xiao was already waiting for her.
After paying her fare, I led her into the factory.
This was her first time entering a factory.
Seeing the old red brick factory buildings inside gave me a sense of déjà vu.
These factories are all very similar, much like their original factories.
Huo Xiao first led her to the cafeteria for dinner.
During the meal, many female workers saw the two of them and cast curious glances at them.
Some of the older female workers, being a bit thick-skinned, sat down next to them with smiles and chatted with them, quickly getting the information about Song Jia's identity and job out of them.
“I own the restaurant called Qiaoxiang Cuisine over in Wangfujing. If you have time, go there and I’ll give you a discount,” Song Jia said generously to them.
The auntie clicked her tongue in amazement, "We wouldn't dare go to those restaurants over there. A single meal there could cost a month's salary; they're too expensive."
"It's not that exaggerated. I'll definitely give you the best price if you go there."
Song Jia smiled and continued to invite her; anyone can say nice things.
Some unmarried young women were sitting nearby. Overhearing their conversation, they realized that Song Jia was Huo Xiao's wife, and suddenly the food lost its appeal.
I never expected the factory manager's wife to be so beautiful and to run a restaurant. She's both good-looking and capable!
They have no chance of winning against others, no matter how they compare.
When we have the social gathering later, let's focus on other factories and see if there are any handsome young men there.
A social gathering is a dance party organized between factories.
This is a way for young men and women to get to know each other.
And you know what? This method has helped many employees resolve their marriage problems.
This social gathering not only attracted factory workers but also many other young people from the neighborhood.
Therefore, these dances are frequented by many people, and each one is always packed with people.
Huo Xiao wouldn't have participated if it weren't for wanting Song Jia to get some exposure.
After finishing their meal, they followed the crowd toward the dance hall.
The venue, lighting, and music for the dance were all prepared by the factory's logistics department.
This was the time for people to gather; the music in the ballroom started, and many people were already dancing gracefully.
The most popular one is the Youth Waltz, a ballroom dance for two, perfect for warming up and building rapport.
Once inside, Huo Xiao bent down and raised one hand towards Song Jia.
"Beautiful lady, would you like to dance with me?"
Seeing his serious expression, Song Jia smiled and placed her hand in his.
"I'm not very good at it, so don't step on my foot."
Huo Xiao put his arm around her and began to guide her in dancing. The steps weren't very smooth, but at least she didn't step on her toes.
"It's not difficult. Just follow along with me. I learned it by watching them dance for a few seconds."
Song Jia retorted, "Are you sure you learned it by watching someone else dance, and not by leading that little girl in the dance?"
Huo Xiao blushed and said, "There's no little girl here. Don't wrong me. I gave you my first time, the mother of this child."
The two were pressed close together, swaying back and forth to the music, whispering to each other from time to time, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Both of them were busy with work, so it was a rare treat to have such a relaxed date.
Just as a song was about to end, someone bumped into Huo Xiao, and several photos seemed to fall out of his pocket.
Xu Jie picked up the photo from the ground, smiled, and handed it to him.
"Excuse me, these are your things."
Just then, the music stopped, and it was time for a break.
Huo Xiao didn't take it, saying, "This isn't mine."
Song Jia immediately noticed that he was holding a photograph, and the photograph showed a naked person, and the face was Xue Mei's.
Unaware of what was going on, Song Jia's smile froze on her face, and she looked at Huo Xiao helplessly.
Huo Xiao also saw the photos and quickly explained to her.
“This definitely didn’t fall off me.”
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on them.
