Chapter 12: Closer and Closer
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Yan, do you want to ask the waiter to take your order now?"
Yan Xizhi withdrew her hand and said with a smile:
"I'm fine."
His hands suddenly felt free, and the man's eyes darkened and he nodded slightly.
"Um."
Then he pulled out a chair for Xizhi like a gentleman.
"Miss Yan, please sit here."
"Thanks!"
It was Xizhi's first time enjoying the gentlemanly care from a man, and she felt very happy about it.
What she didn't expect was that Huo Yanting was sitting on the chair next to her. There was such a big table, and there was no one between them. Was he being so blatant in his flirting?
Although she was a great beauty, she was past her prime and not as alluring as before. What was this man's purpose?
Let’s wait and see!
In a place like a high-end hotel, there shouldn't be any kidney-grinding incidents, right?
"Miss Yan, please order."
Assistant Chen brought the tablet over and asked Xizhi to order food.
Xizhi didn't hesitate and after browsing through the menu, she ordered two dishes.
"Grilled M9 Wagyu beef, stir-fried scallops with yam, I'm ready. Mr. Huo, please order."
Assistant Chen ordered four dishes according to Huo Yanting's usual habits. After thinking about it, he added a serving of fresh seafood, baked lobster, and a bowl of premium bird's nest.
After ordering the dishes, Assistant Chen poured wine into both of their glasses, but Xizhi refused to drink.
"I'll drink some juice, please handsome."
"Oh, sorry Miss Yan, can I get you some orange juice right away?"
"I like pineapple juice. If you don't have it, orange juice will work too."
"Okay, please wait."
"My assistant, Chen Yi."
Huo Ting introduced Chen Yi's identity.
"Oh~ It's Mr. Huo's assistant. Most CEOs like to hire beautiful women as their assistants, but Mr. Huo is an exception."
Huo Yanting nodded.
"Competence is not limited to men or women. Assistant Chen is very meticulous and conscientious in his work."
“I can see that Assistant Chen is very good.
Mr. Huo, I'll transfer the money to you. You must have accepted it. Perhaps you don't value these tens of thousands of dollars, but it's not appropriate for me to accept this money when I haven't done anything."
Xizhi said this and used her cell phone to transfer money to him.
A big hand grabbed the hand that was tapping her phone.
Xizhi: ...
Just... so sweet! What kind of ancient idol drama plot is this? Is it appropriate for a woman like her who's almost thirty?
Hmm! It's appropriate. Let Mary Sue come more fiercely. I like it and love it! As long as the boss is not embarrassed, she won't feel embarrassed either.
"I said I don't need it, and I won't accept it even if you transfer it to me. I really troubled you today."
"I'm embarrassed that you're like this."
"It doesn't matter."
Okay, if you don’t want it, then I won’t give it back to you. But, do you still want to hold my hand?
Huo Yanting looked at the slender little hand in his hand and felt like he was holding a cat's paw. It didn't scratch him, but it made his palm feel itchy.
This was the first time in ten years that he held a woman's hand and sat close to her. He felt no dislike, no disgust, and no nausea.
Look up along her hand
Her arms were very slender and fair, and the short-sleeved grey slim dress wrapped around her well-proportioned body.
Xizhi's hands were sweating.
Because of the tension and also because of the excitement!
How could it not be exciting? She was still married, eating alone with a man, sitting so close, and having her hand held.
I feel that the gaze of the man next to me is scorching.
Follow his gaze.
Xizhi widened her eyes in shock.
Is this... is this man looking at her breasts?
Ahhhh… I’m going to die. He really does have a purpose.
what to do?
She was so nervous that she pulled her hand back uncomfortably.
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. Today's meal is on me... treat."
Although I was a little reluctant, I had received tens of thousands of dollars in thank-you money, so it was no big deal to treat them to a meal, although the meal would probably be very expensive.
That's their money, too. They paid for it and ate with you. So don't make a big deal about it.
His hands were empty again, and Huo Yanting frowned slightly.
Hearing her say that it was her treat, Huo Yanting didn't say anything else. The waiter brought the juice at this time, and the dishes came up one after another.
The two of them started eating.
Xizhi hasn't had a good meal for a long time. They are all good food. She won't treat her mouth and stomach badly.
"By the way, Mr. Huo, I saw you yesterday. Are you in Haicheng on business?"
Then I met a beautiful woman by chance and wanted to have a romantic encounter in a foreign city.
etc!
"Mr. Huo, are you single?"
Xizhi suddenly thought of this very serious question.
If this man is married, she will have to say goodbye to him after dinner. Although she is very tempted by his looks, it depends on the situation.
The third party is despised by others. No matter how greedy she is for money and sex, she has a bottom line.
Huo Yanting was stunned by the question.
His eyes darkened a little as he looked at her.
"Ms. Yan, I'm single, unmarried, and don't have a girlfriend. Why are you asking this, Miss Yan?"
Yan Xizhi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I have to ask. I don't eat alone with men who have families. If Mr. Huo has a wife or girlfriend, after this meal, we will go our separate ways."
"No, the problem you're worried about doesn't exist. What about Miss Yan?"
"As for me, I've already signed the divorce agreement. All I need is a divorce certificate, and then I'll be completely single again."
Hearing that she is a married woman should be enough to dissuade this man.
Alas, she is not bad enough. If she were a little worse, she would have ruined her life before confessing.
But her conscience would not allow her to do such a deceptive thing.
There's nothing I can do about it, she's just such a beautiful and kind-hearted person.
The lobster arrived and was beautifully presented.
She took pictures of the dishes on the table with her cell phone.
I can make a video later to give back by helping others with a big meal.
After taking the photo, Xizhi continued eating without even looking at the man's expression.
The air became quiet, with only the sound of chopsticks touching food and chewing.
"Miss Yan's divorce, do you need help?"
"ah?"
The man was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke, which made Xizhi stunned for a moment, and then she looked at the man beside her.
There was no emotion on his handsome face, as if he was just asking about a very ordinary matter.
"No... no need, I can handle it myself."
Huo Yanting nodded without asking any more questions.
The meal was almost over and Xizhi finally put down her chopsticks.
"Mr. Huo, I enjoyed this meal very much. Thank you for your generosity. I'll go pay the bill and then go back first."
Xizhi stood up and picked up her things, preparing to go out.
The man frowned, reached out again, and grabbed her wrist.
This time, he used more strength in his hands and pulled the person back directly.
Xizhi was caught off guard and just followed the force and plunged straight into the man's arms.
