Before long, the executives left the office one after another, each carrying their own tasks, all full of energy.
Hua Fei thought to herself that, given Huo Beichen's style of doing things, he probably had already secretly allied with the Murong family before getting rid of Sun Xiaowei.
Marrying her would not only get rid of Sun Xiaowei, but also deliver a heavy slap to the Sun family.
She was just a pawn in his game.
Huo Beichen was the last to walk out of the office, a smile playing on his lips.
He should be feeling proud today.
"Now you don't have to worry," Huo Beichen said to her. "Shall we celebrate for me?"
Hua Fei forced a smile. "Of course, however you want to celebrate, it's on me."
"Come with me." Huo Beichen put his arm around her slender waist and walked away.
"Wow," the secretary said, looking at the two of them with envy, "I've never seen President Huo like a woman so much."
"Haven't you seen this before?" The assistant scratched his chin. "Why does this scene seem a little familiar?"
Back then, the woman beside President Huo was Miss Sheng.
At the time, many people said that Miss Sheng was just Mr. Huo's toy.
But he had witnessed Mr. Huo's doting affection for Miss Sheng many times... So, although Sun Xiaowei had been by Mr. Huo's side for several years, he never thought they would get married.
After getting out of the car, Hua Fei took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, it's a high-end restaurant!"
A place that will make your wallet ache at the slightest glance.
However, he's in a good mood today, so I should be able to get some information out of him during dinner.
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo," the waiter greeted them warmly and politely, "please come in."
It seems that Huo Beichen is a regular here.
The waiter led the two into a private room, which was decorated in a simple yet elegant style with a soft atmosphere.
The dining table, which is about 1.5 meters long, is a bit large, and the two sets of tableware are placed at opposite ends of the table.
"Mr. Huo, you really came here for dinner?" Hua Fei said speechlessly.
Being so far apart, it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk, let alone exchange pleasantries.
Huo Beichen glanced at the waiter: "Place the two chairs closer together."
The waiter hesitated slightly: "But... this is a specialty of our restaurant... Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll do it right away."
Mr. Huo's expression was terrifying.
The waiter moved two chairs to the middle of the table, one on each side.
This significantly shortened the distance between the two.
Huo Beichen didn't say anything, but personally picked up a chair and placed it next to the other chair.
The two of them sat down next to each other.
Hua Fei pursed her lips. There was really no need to get so close.
"Please wait a moment, I'll bring the food right away." The waiter covered his mouth and went out, almost unable to hold back his laughter.
Hua Fei raised an eyebrow at Huo Beichen: "Mr. Huo, your image in the eyes of the waiters has suddenly changed from an elite to a country bumpkin."
Huo Beichen shrugged: "So what? I'm happy that you're willing to sit closer to me."
He pulled out one of the chairs: "Please sit down, Mrs. Huo."
Hua Fei's cheeks flushed slightly.
His intimacy and enthusiasm made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the waiter came in at the right time to serve the dishes.
With a table full of delicious food, Hua Fei suddenly remembered when he had ordered.
Finally, the waiter placed a small cake in front of Huafei.
"Mrs. Huo, this is a special order made just for you by the restaurant; it's the only one available."
"Thank you." Hua Fei glanced at the cake, which was served in a crystal goblet. The cream was a noble purple, decorated with small white flowers, and it was very beautiful.
But to say it's a one-of-a-kind custom design, this style isn't quite enough.
She looked away, not paying any attention.
"Does the steak suit your taste?" Huo Beichen asked.
He sat beside her, his voice seemingly right next to her ear, making Hua Fei a little uncomfortable.
“I’m not a picky eater,” she replied, casually cutting a piece of steak and putting it in her mouth.
She was immediately stunned.
This sauce has a plum flavor with a hint of black pepper...
Sheng Nanyin used to like eating like this.
This is her unique flavor; no restaurant would prepare such a sauce unless the customer made it to order.
This was not a meal decided on a whim.
Rather, it was something he did intentionally.
"How does this sauce taste?" Huo Beichen's voice rang out.
She sneered inwardly. The test had begun, had it?
Alright, let's begin.
“It’s very special,” she replied. “I didn’t expect to be able to find this kind of sauce here.”
Huo Beichen's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "You've eaten it?"
Hua Fei nodded. "Didn't I tell you I have a teacher? I've eaten at her place."
"I was very curious at the time, I didn't expect the teacher to have such unique tastes."
“My teacher told me that Sheng Nanyin taught her to do that.”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at Huo Beichen, "Why are there some here too?"
"Was it prepared by the restaurant?"
"You ordered the food, why did you choose this sauce for me?"
A hint of panic flashed in Huo Beichen's eyes. "I just picked it randomly."
Hua Fei smiled, but her gaze grew colder. "President Huo, why hide it? Your relationship with Sheng Nanyin is no secret."
Huo Beichen was slightly taken aback: "Who told you that?"
"You don't need to listen to anyone. Just pay more attention to you, and you'll naturally find out." Hua Fei seemed indifferent and nonchalant.
Huo Beichen's gaze was full of scrutiny. "What do you know?"
"I know she had a son with you, Zeze."
"I know she abandoned Zeze and left, and there's still no news from her."
Hua Fei shrugged. "That's all I know."
Huo Beichen said "Oh," his gaze becoming even more scrutinizing. "You don't need to listen to what others say. If you want to know something, you can ask me."
Hua Fei scoffed, "If I ask my husband about his ex-girlfriend, do you think he'll tell me the truth?"
“Of course,” Huo Beichen replied, “I’m not joking about marrying you.”
Huo Beichen was calculating. He was testing her, trying to get her to reveal her true colors by talking more about Sheng Nanyin.
She won't fall for it.
She needed to take this opportunity to test how much he had found out about what happened after Sheng Nanyin went to prison.
"Then you go first, do you know where Sheng Nanyin is now?" Hua Fei cut straight to the point.
Huo Beichen paused for a moment, "Shortly after she left, I roughly knew some of her whereabouts, but then I lost contact with her, and I still can't find her now."
Huafei secretly clenched his fist.
He's good at pretending.
They even pretended to be very affectionate.
If she were an outsider, she might even be moved.
"Since she left on her own, why are you still looking for her?" Hua Fei continued to ask. "Are you still hung up on her?"
A bitter smile appeared on Huo Beichen's lips: "If I said yes, would she believe me?"
His eyes were fixed on Hua Fei, as if trying to uncover something.
Hua Fei frowned: "Why are you looking at me? You don't think I'm Sheng Nanyin, do you?"
