Chapter 213 Mother Huo
After hanging up the phone, Xizhi looked at Huo Yanting: "Grandpa asked us if we will go back to Hong Kong City tomorrow."
Huo Yanting replied without hesitation: "No, I've already decided on the itinerary. I'll be getting ready this afternoon and leaving tomorrow. Assistant Chen has already booked the plane tickets, so our itinerary remains unchanged."
This is my first official trip with Xizhi.
Xizhi: "But your birthday is tomorrow."
Huo Yanting looked at Xizhi: "My birthday is the happiest when I'm with you. What's the point of going back? I won't be happy looking at them either."
Xizhi smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Okay, that's it. I'm going to call Grandpa back."
"Um."
Xizhi walked happily to answer the call.
The man looking at her back raised the corner of his mouth and reminded her: "Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"I understand, Mother Huo."
The man shook his head helplessly and laughed.
Mrs. Huo? Boss Huo sounds better.
Xizhi called the old man back.
The call was picked up quickly.
Mr. Huo: "How's the discussion going? Tonight's flight? Or..."
Xizhi: "Grandpa, we're not going back."
The old man's tone suddenly became heavy and unhappy.
"Why aren't you coming back again? Come back to celebrate A-Ting's birthday! And formally introduce you to all the friends in Hong Kong City. No, come back quickly!"
Xizhi: "There's nothing we can do, Grandpa. These two little ones in my belly, one insists on going to Thailand to eat durian, and the other insists on going to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze and drink coconut. How do you think we can get back?"
We must arrange to take them out to eat and drink immediately, right, grandpa? They both said that they must eat and drink whatever they want immediately, otherwise it will affect their healthy growth.
If they can’t grow up healthy, they won’t be able to meet their great-grandfather soon. They both really want to meet their great-grandfather, so they have to eat well and grow up quickly.”
Mr. Huo: ...
Damn it, she knew clearly that she was just trying to fool him, but she still made it sound so righteous. He really saw how eloquent this woman was.
What can he say?
Can we stop our great-grandchildren who want to grow up quickly and healthily from eating durian?
Doesn't that mean I don't want to see these two little guys? If I stop them, these two bastards will dare to come back without the children.
He believed that these two bastards were capable of doing such a thing.
I'm so angry, but I can't lose my temper.
"Hmph, you bad guy, just go ahead and piss me off. However, he has never really liked celebrating his birthday, but this year's birthday is very different. Xizhi, his parents don't love him, so you should love him more."
As soon as the old man finished saying this, Xizhi's tears started to roll down.
Boss Huo was indeed pitiful. After hearing the old man's words, her heart felt extremely sour. This man was as pitiful as she was.
"Well, don't worry, Grandpa. I know. Our flight back from Thailand is booked to Hong Kong City. We will stay at your place for a few more days."
"Good, good, good boy."
After hanging up the phone, Xizhi turned her back to the man and wiped the tears from her face.
I despised myself in my heart for a moment, and found a sober quote that was deeply engraved in my mind.
She felt sorry for the man's lifelong misfortune. After repeating it silently three times, she regained her smile and said to Huo Yanting, "I've got it done, Grandpa. I'll check the schedule now. You can go do your thing."
"Um."
The itinerary was very well arranged. Xizhi also checked the hotel and found that the location and environment were very good. There were also ten highly skilled bodyguards accompanying them on this trip. When they arrived there, there were also local bodyguards to ensure the safety of the trip.
Secretary Zhong and Xiaoying, who are going with us, will take care of the documents and other things.
Basically, she didn't have to worry about anything. She just had to choose some clothes and let Mrs. Liu and the others pack their luggage.
After arranging all this, Xizhi asked Mrs. Liu to prepare some dough and stuffing tonight. She was going to prepare dumplings for Boss Huo.
She has always known this custom: eating labor-inducing dumplings the day before her birthday and eating longevity noodles on her birthday.
Not knowing the customs of Hong Kong, Xizhi decided to celebrate Boss Huo's birthday in her own way.
Huo Yanting held a video conference in his study for the entire afternoon, and Assistant Chen ran back and forth twice.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Xizhi and several nannies were preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Mrs. Liu cut the vegetables, Mrs. Li mixed the noodles, and Mrs. Zhou chopped the shrimp, water chestnuts, and minced meat.
These strenuous tasks are all done by the nanny.
Then Xizhi prepared the fillings, including a vegetarian three-fresh filling of leeks, eggs and black fungus, a shrimp velvet and water chestnut filling of shrimp, water chestnut and minced meat, and a meat three-fresh filling of pork, shrimp and a handful of leeks.
After mixing the seasonings, Xizhi started rolling out the dough.
The nannies were driven out by Xizhi, and she was making dumplings alone in the kitchen.
It was almost five o'clock, and it was time for the man to come down. He was about to see a virtuous and beautiful woman who was pregnant with his child making dumplings for him.
You should feel very satisfied, right?
Xizhi really captured Huo Yanting's heart. He heard the noise in the kitchen just now and saw that the nannies were all outside. When he didn't see Xizhi, he asked.
Mrs. Liu: "Mr. Huo, Miss Yan said that it's your birthday tomorrow and you want to eat dumplings today. She's making them for you inside."
Huo Yanting's heart trembled, and he walked quickly into the kitchen, only to see a warm and healing scene.
A beautiful woman with a smile on her face, wearing a floral apron and her long hair tied into a ponytail with a ribbon hanging on one shoulder.
The halo of light reflected from the crystal ceiling shone on her, as if she was coated with a layer of silver.
At this moment, Huo Yanting felt very satisfied. If you asked him what happiness looked like, he would think that this picture before his eyes was happiness.
Holding his mobile phone in his hand, he wanted to record this very warm and beautiful scene.
With a click.
The picture froze on the phone.
Xizhi estimated that the man had looked at her for almost enough time, so she raised her head as if she had just noticed something.
"Boss Huo, are you done with your work?"
"Well, are you tired? Just let the babysitter do this."
He walked over and held her in his arms from behind.
Xizhi: "No, from now on, the night before every birthday of yours, I will make dumplings for you, by hand."
Xizhi felt the arms holding her tighten a little.
"Zhizhi, why are you so nice?"
Xizhi: "Because you are worth it."
The atmosphere was frozen at this moment.
Neither of them spoke. Huo Yanting held Xizhi in his arms and watched the dough transform into cute, white dumplings in her hands.
Happiness was embodied at this moment, and he experienced a satisfaction he had never felt before.
"Are you tired?"
"A little, but it's almost done. Do you want to learn how to make dumplings?"
"good."
Xizhi taught the man how to make dumplings. His fingers were clean, slender, with distinct joints, and he had very flexible hands, but the dumplings he made were extremely ugly.
But after you pack a few, you can see it.
Xizhi didn't let him pack it again.
"You'd better stop messing around. I'll wrap it up quickly."
Huo Yanting stood obediently by the side and watched her make dumplings.
Just watching her making dumplings is a full-fledged enjoyment.
The dumplings were wrapped, and Xizhi's hands felt a little sore as she hadn't worked for a long time.
Mrs. Liu and the others were called in to cook dumplings and do other things.
Huo Yanting took Xizhi to the restaurant outside and waited.
Sister Li brought two plates of side dishes, cold cucumber salad and spicy and sour kelp shreds, which Xizhi has been very fond of recently. Before cooking the dumplings, Sister Liu had already made pumpkin and corn paste, steamed a sea bass, and fried a few vegetables.
When the steaming dumplings are served on the table, a feeling of happiness comes over you.
Huo Yanting hardly ever ate dumplings. He ate them very rarely due to his lifestyle habits. Even though he had eaten them once or twice, he didn't like them very much.
But now, when you eat a dumpling made by Xizhi, the freshness and fragrance are overflowing and linger in your mouth.
Huo Yanting was very satisfied with the simple home-cooked meal.
The flight to Thailand takes six hours, so Xizhi was woken up early to catch the plane. She fell asleep soon after getting on the plane.
When I woke up, the man next to me was wearing glasses and drinking coffee and reading electronic documents.
"woke up?"
Xizhi's sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide.
Looking at the gold-rimmed glasses on the man's nose, her eyes were filled with amazement.
"What are you looking at?"
Xizhi: "Look at this handsome guy, he's so big and handsome, it makes me cry."
The man raised the corner of his mouth and pinched her cheek.
"Want some water?"
Xizhi nodded. "Hey, why are you wearing glasses? I've never seen them before. Are you nearsighted?"
The man shook his head, took off his glasses, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Just plain glasses to protect your eyes."
Xizhi put the glasses he took off on her nose and found that they did not have any prescription.
After looking at it, she took it off and put it on the man again.
"Don't take them off. You look good with glasses on, too. I like them."
Huo Yanting: "How beautiful is it?"
Xizhi, "Very, very beautiful, with a kind of gentle and beastly sexiness."
Huo Yanting: "Is this a compliment? Why do I feel like you're scolding me?"
Xizhi: "Beating is love, scolding is affection."
Huo Yanting: "You're such a wry person, drink some water."
Xizhi drank some water, glanced at the route map, and asked in surprise, "We've been flying for over four hours and haven't left the country yet? China is so big! It takes six hours to fly to Thailand, but more than four hours are still within China. That's amazing."
It is indeed a great country."
Xizhi took a picture with her mobile phone and planned to post a short video after getting off the plane.
Let’s praise our great motherland for its vast land and abundant resources.
Since she found out she was pregnant, Xizhi also read some books related to pregnant women. She did not have the morning sickness reaction that other pregnant women often have, but instead was able to eat and sleep well.
It is said on the Internet that pregnant women like her are carrying babies to repay their gratitude.
Xizhi also thinks so, her little watermelons are very well behaved.
As a result, she felt hungry after waking up.
She started to eat the snacks in her bag and called the flight attendant to bring her food.
The meals in business class were different from those in economy class. They were rich and exquisite. Xizhi liked every dish very much. However, the portions were not large. Although she could still have more, she wanted to get up and go to the bathroom now.
After using the restroom, I took a stroll in the economy cabin to look for Xiaoying.
After waiting for a while, Huo Yanting was about to go look for her when he saw her come back with two sandwiches in her hands.
"Boss Huo, I just had a bite of the tuna sandwich that Xiaoying and the others had. It's delicious. Would you like one?"
Huo Yanting wanted to say, is there any food that doesn't taste good to her?
"I'm full, you eat."
Sitting down, Xizhi drank juice and ate a sandwich.
The remaining hour or so was spent eating, drinking and chatting with Huo Yanting.
After getting off the plane, Assistant Chen handled the formalities for everyone, and the person who was picking them up was already waiting.
A Rolls-Royce with a Thai license plate was driven by a police car, and behind it were the bodyguards that Huo Yanting had brought from Haicheng.
A convoy of cars drove stylishly from the airport all the way to a five-star hotel in downtown Bangkok.
Although she didn't do anything that day except take a plane and a car, Xizhi still felt a little tired, probably because of her pregnancy.
After resting for a while in the hotel, Huo Yanting had changed into casual summer clothes, a loose short-sleeved ice silk casual shirt paired with a pair of shorts and beach shoes.
The serious and domineering style of the domineering president was shed. The man in casual summer clothes and gold-rimmed glasses was so handsome that Xizhi swallowed her saliva.
"Shall we go out for a walk?"
"Well, let me take you to eat durian first."
Xizhi stood up and threw herself on the man, hooking her arms around his neck.
"I had completely forgotten about the durian incident, but you actually remembered it."
"Eat durian, drink coconut, and enjoy the sea breeze. We'll stay in Bangkok for two days before going to the beach. We need to have fun, but we also need to rest well. We'll stop when we get tired."
Xizhi nodded vigorously, "Then I'll change my clothes and leave."
Xizhi chose a halter dress with a light yellow base and white daisies, tied a headband of the same color on her head, and draped it over her shoulders.
She slung a small straw bag over her shoulder, put it on the man's arm, and went out together.
When they went out, they were accompanied by bodyguards in front and behind, and there were also bodyguards wearing floral shirts hidden in the crowd.
They set off to the most famous and prosperous night market in the area. It was very lively and there were many stalls selling all kinds of food, fruit tea, and drinks.
Seeing the golden durians, Xizhi swallowed and pulled the man to pick some.
Xiaoying and Secretary Zhong were responsible for taking photos.
A large piece of golden durian, soft, sweet, dry, sticky and soft, it tastes great.
Huo Yanting sat next to Xi Zhi and moved a little further away from her, then a little further away, and then...
After eating a large piece of durian, Xizhi was satisfied and wanted to share it with the man. When she looked again, she found that the man had moved very far away from where she was sitting, a full hundred meters away.
Xizhi: "...Boss Huo, do you dislike me because of durian?"
PS: I forgot to bring my laptop charger at my mother's house. My dears, I will go buy a charger tomorrow morning and make up for it. I am so stupid.
By the way, I have a good news to tell you. My son got into a very good high school. He couldn't get into any other high school based on his ability, but by luck he got into a pretty good high school and completed the admission procedures today.
I really admire his luck.
