There is a lounge in the mall specially prepared for Huo Shen. It is not a big place, but it is enough.
When Li Yining and Jian Yuanyuan went in, Huo Shen hadn't come yet.
Jian Yuanyuan looked around and said, "Mr. Huo is indeed Mr. Huo. He even prepared the lounge so well."
As she spoke, she leaned over to Li Yining's ear and whispered, "Your husband is fine."
Li Yining: "...What's wrong?"
Jian Yuanyuan was speechless and gouged her eyes out: "That's not good enough. When I saw you fall, I immediately asked the bodyguard to come and take you to the lounge."
She asked suspiciously, "How does your husband recognize you when you wrap yourself like that?"
Li Yining said nothing.
In fact, she was a little curious too.
If it was Huo Shen, wearing a hat and a mask, and wearing clothes different from his usual clothes, she might not be able to recognize him at first glance.
Jian Yuanyuan looked at her thoughtful face, stretched out her hand and poked her and asked, "Is Huo Shen... interested in you?"
Hearing this, Li Yining suddenly came to his senses: "What do you mean by caring? How is that possible?"
She sat down to one side and lied to herself: "Maybe I just thought... we have to go home today and we can't let anyone get hurt."
Hearing her words, Jian Yuanyuan said unceremoniously, "You are just deceiving yourself."
She turned around twice and said, "Right, you guys should go home for dinner. I won't disturb you and your wife. I'll leave now."
"Let Uncle Xu take you back?"
"No, I'll go back by myself."
Jian Yuanyuan thought about it, winked at Li Yining and said, "Give yourself a chance."
Li Yining: “…”
Less than two minutes after Jian Yuanyuan left, Huo Shen came in.
Li Yining raised her eyes and looked at the man who had taken off his windbreaker, still standing tall. Her eyes flickered, and she coughed in a calm manner, "Is it over?"
Huo Shen hummed, his eyes falling on the top of her head.
Li Yining was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch it. Then he remembered that he was wearing a headband on his head with the words "Huo Shen" written on it. There was a star and a moon on each side, which combined together made it particularly beautiful.
She quickly took it off, and took off her hat as well, and said a little embarrassedly: "...this..."
"At the door?"
"no."
Li Yining was speechless and pinched his earlobe: "Uncle Xu gave it to me."
Huo Shen: “…”
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "That's it."
"Yeah." Li Yining said righteously, "I definitely didn't do this on purpose."
Huo Shen lowered his head, looked at her wide eyes, and nodded: "I know."
For a moment, the two people in the lounge were speechless.
After a while, Li Yining couldn't stand this indescribable atmosphere anymore, so he pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you going out yet?"
"Right away." Huo Shen looked at her and said, "You will go out with the bodyguard later."
"Um."
Huo Shen paused and asked in a low voice: "Did you fall just now?"
Li Yining was stunned, her face flushed instantly, she shook her head, saying insincerely: "No, no."
Even if she fell, she couldn't tell Huo Shen!
Huo Shen looked at her suddenly red face and quietly looked away.
After a while, Huo Shen got into the car, surrounded by bodyguards, walking past the enthusiastic fans.
Li Yining left with a few bodyguards left by Huo Shen only after most of the fans had left the mall.
As for Uncle Xu, he had already gone home tactfully.
——
Sitting in the car on the way back to Li's house, Li Yining was a little nervous.
Maybe it was because Mr. and Mrs. Li were too good to the original owner, so she felt guilty for deceiving them. However, if she told this matter of soul traveling, no one would believe it, and it would even make the two elders even sadder.
For a moment, Li Yining was really a little melancholy.
She hadn't felt the love of her family for a long time, and she didn't know how to get along with them when she got home.
Just as I was thinking about it, a man's voice came from the side: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yining raised his eyes, stared at Huo Shen's deep eyes for a moment, and shook his head quickly: "No, no."
She turned her head and looked out the window. The sunlight was still abundant at noon. Huo Shen's activity would not last long, so the two of them could go back to Li's house just in time for lunch.
Li Yining was staring intently out the window and didn't notice that Huo Shen's gaze was vaguely falling on him.
When the car stopped, Li Yining and Huo Shen got out together.
After hearing the sound, the servant of the Li family ran out and shouted in surprise: "Master and Madam, the young lady and her family are back."
Li Yining looked at the villa in front of him and felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
She thought that the original owner liked this place.
The house is very big and surrounded by a small garden. It is obvious that it is different from Huo Shen's family. The Li family... should be a very warm small family.
The two men entered the house, and the two people sitting in the living room turned around and looked over.
Li Yining suppressed his nervousness and shouted with a smile: "Mom and Dad, we are back."
Huo Shen followed with a shout.
Li's mother's eyes were filled with joy, and she looked at her excitedly: "You're finally back."
She looked at Li Yining and said, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out, right? It's been a long time since she came back to see her parents."
Li Yining accepted the instruction obediently and did not dare to retort.
Huo Shen watched from the side and said calmly: "It's my problem."
Li's mother remained silent.
Huo Shen said apologetically: "I was too busy and didn't accompany Ning Ning to come back more often to see my parents."
Li Yining: “…”
Ning Ning? ? !
Hearing this title coming from Huo Shen's mouth, her heart beat faster uncontrollably.
Obviously, everyone calls her that.
But inexplicably, she thought Huo Shen's voice was very nice.
After Huo Shen said this, Li's mother no longer dared to scold Li Yining.
Although they are elders, they are actually a little intimidated by Huo Shen. This man is too powerful and too cold.
She smiled and said softly, "Ah Shen, you are too busy with work. We understand."
Huo Shen smiled faintly.
Father Li coughed and looked at the two of them: "Come and sit down, what are you standing for?"
"Yes, yes, yes, please sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
Li Yining and Huo Shen sat on a sofa. Li's father looked at his daughter and felt relieved when he saw that Li Yining looked good.
He then started chatting with Huo Shen about work. Li Yining felt bored and went to the kitchen.
Li's mother saw her and pulled her over.
"Ningning, Mom wants to ask you something."
Li Yining looked at Li's mother's serious expression and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
Li's mother looked at her and asked: "Do you still like that male star?"
She said, "I was abroad with your father some time ago, and someone sent us a photo of you and that male celebrity recording a show together."
She said angrily, "Why are you so obsessed? Huo Shen is so outstanding, why are you chasing after that male star?"
Li Yining: “…”
To be honest, she also thought it was very obsessive.
But now it's Li Yining, even if she is bewitched, she has to admit it.
Li Yining looked at her mother and explained seriously, "Mom, I didn't chase after that male star."
She said bitterly, "I used to be a fan, but now I don't even have a fan." She raised her hand and swore, "And the last time I recorded a show with that person was because of work, it was definitely not because I had a crush on him."
She hugged Li's mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, don't you think about how good your daughter's taste is? How could she possibly fall in love with that male star?"
Li's mother gouged her eyes out: "That would be best."
She sighed: "If you really do something out of line, your father and I can't protect you."
"No."
Li Yining smiled and said, "I won't do that again in the future."
Seeing her like this, Li's mother felt relieved. She reached out and patted Li Yining on the head, laughing and said, "Okay, you are so old and still act like a spoiled child to your mother. I'll go to the kitchen and take a rest."
"Uh-huh."
Looking at Li's mother's leaving back, Li Yining reached out and touched his head.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had felt this kind of family warmth. She looked at her hot palms and her eyes felt a little hot.
——
After having dinner at the Li family, the two left after a short while because Huo Shen still had work to do.
Huo Shen glanced sideways at the man who had been silent since leaving home: "Send you home?"
Li Yining came back to his senses, "You want to go to the company?"
"Um."
Li Yining said "Oh" and said in a low mood: "No, I can go back by myself."
She looked outside and said, "Just drop me off at an intersection with taxis."
Huo Shen said nothing.
After a few minutes, Li Yining looked at him suspiciously: "You don't want the driver to stop the car?"
Huo Shen glanced at her and said, "Do you want to go to the company?"
“…”
"???"
Li Yining looked at Huo Shen in disbelief and blurted out: "What did you say?"
Let yourself go to the company?!
If Li Yining's memory was correct, she should have never been to the Huo Group's head office.
From the beginning to now, she has no interest, and Huo Shen will not take the initiative to ask her if she wants to go.
Huo Shen: "Yeah."
He paused and added, "You can't go if you don't want to."
Li Yining's eyes flashed.
It’s not that she didn’t want to, but she was a little overwhelmed... She felt that Huo Shen seemed to be changing, and this change seemed to be only for her.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she had to say that she felt happy when she heard this question.
She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to curl up, and said calmly: "Oh." She lifted her hair and said in a reluctant tone, "Since you want me to go so much, I will go and take a look:" Then go and take a look."
Hearing this, Huo Shen chuckled.
Li Yining: “…”
No, what are you laughing at?
She secretly glanced to the side with the corner of her eye and happened to meet Huo Shen's eyes that said "I've seen through you".
Li Yining froze and quickly changed the subject: "Isn't today Sunday? Do you still have work?"
"There's a video conference."
"……oh."
The two of them went up directly from the underground parking lot. The company was empty on Sunday. At least Li Yining hadn't seen anyone else since he came in.
It was not until we arrived at Huo Shen's office that we saw his assistant.
Lin Shunbin knew Li Yining, but when he saw her coming, he was still stunned for a while.
Huo Shen glanced at him coldly, and he quickly called out, "Madam."
Li Yining nodded, not knowing what to say.
After entering the office, Li Yining couldn't help but sigh in his heart: capitalists are rich.
An office that is both low-key and luxurious, and more importantly - there seem to be a few antique vases placed diagonally opposite.
Of course, this was her guess.
She looked at him secretly, and Huo Shen raised his eyes to look at her: "Just tell the assistant if you want anything. I'll go change my clothes first."
"……good."
After Huo Shen left, Li Yining sat down on the sofa "calmly", holding his wrist and looking at the glittering "RMB" in front of him.
She glanced sideways at the large floor-to-ceiling windows on one side. This building seemed to be the tallest building in the city. Li Yining walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down, overlooking the beautiful city.
The afternoon sunlight was like a layer of golden light, shining on the glass, reflecting beautiful light.
She looked at this beautiful city and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.
I've been here for such a long time, and I seem to have gotten used to it after the initial discomfort.
She stared out the window for a long time, and when she turned back, Huo Shen had already changed his clothes and came out.
He was wearing a suit and tie, and was adjusting his cufflinks with his head down.
Li Yining took a closer look and found that the pair of cufflinks... seemed to be bought by himself?
She opened her mouth and looked at Huo Shen: "You——"
Huo Shen raised his eyebrows.
Li Yining shook his head and just stared blankly at him as he put it on.
"Do you want to go shopping or just rest here?"
Li Yining came back to his senses: "I'll take a break first."
"Yes. If you have anything to ask, please find Assistant Lin." He paused, stared at her deeply, and said, "I'm going to a meeting."
——
After Huo Shen left, Li Yining slowly reached out his hand and touched his hot cheek.
What's going on.
Why is your face suddenly so hot?
Li Yining bit his lip, coughed, and then sat back on the sofa.
She felt a little sleepy, but seemed very energetic, with an indescribable sense of contradiction.
She took out her cell phone and subconsciously logged into Weibo.
Huo Shen is still on the hot search list, and today's activity photos have also come out. The photos taken by the fans are simply stunning.
Each one is better than the last.
Li Yining flipped through the pages subconsciously, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Huo Shen is really good-looking.
Fans were shouting and screaming wildly below, and the entire page was filled with beautiful pictures of Huo Shen from all angles, as well as fans' discussions about his outfit today.
Li Yining clicked it and took a look, and was amused again.
[Brother Wuwuwu, this windbreaker is so nice! ! If I could afford it, I would have bought it for my boyfriend a long time ago! ]
[I always feel like my brother will hug me when he wears this windbreaker! I'll rub my head against my brother's arms. 】
[Sister upstairs, how come you are dreaming in broad daylight? 】
[Get out of the way, my brother is mine! ]
[Oh, I really want to know who will have a brother in the future and be held in his arms like this. ]
【Ahhhhhh, delete the dangerous message above! 】
【Brother can only hug us!!】
[My brother is holding me, so don’t even think about it. 】
Li Yining looked at it, reached out and poked the two comments through the screen, and said to himself: "It's not you."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized what she had said and jumped up from the sofa.
Is she crazy? ! !
Li Yining, are you crazy?!
Do you know what dangerous statement you just made?!
She subconsciously wanted to escape. Li Yining looked around and instinctively wanted to leave.
She walked to the door and just as she opened it, she bumped into someone.
Li Yining paused and looked over.
Huo Shen was stunned, frowning and looking at her: "Why are you running?"
Li Yining: “…”
She looked up and faced Huo Shen's eyes. She felt as if she had been seen through. Thinking that she was not afraid of angering Huo Shen, she said angrily, "I can run if I want to. Do you still want to tie me up?"
Huo Shen: “…”
