Not long after Yan's father finished speaking, he left the Huo family, leaving Yan Qing alone to face those strangers.
Yan Qing sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing with his newly done manicures out of boredom, sighing from time to time.
Although Huo Beiting really wanted to keep her here and talk for a while, he couldn't bear to see her sighing and looking bored, so he took the initiative to step forward and start a conversation.
"Why don't you go and chat with them? It's so boring sitting here alone!"
Huo Beiting pointed at the women in front of him. Yan Qing looked up and looked even more bored. She casually picked up the ribbon hanging from her dress and slowly wrapped it around her fingers, making circles.
"What's there to talk about with them? I don't even need to go over to them to know they're just talking about men's clothing or showing off something. Besides, do you think they're welcoming me? Going over to them would be boring. I'd rather stay here and be at my ease!"
Yan Qing sighed again as he spoke, then stood up and took a tray to the self-service area to pick up some snacks.
After returning, he saw Huo Beiting still sitting there and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"
Huo Beiting's face darkened for a moment, and Yan Qing also felt that his words were a bit offensive, so he quickly added a sentence.
"I didn't mean anything else, I just thought you were gone, and I saw they all looked eager to chat with you!"
As he spoke, Yan Qing nodded towards the men and women opposite who had been wanting to come over to find Huo Beiting but had not dared to because of his expression.
Huo Beiting chuckled and raised his chin slightly, appearing a little arrogant.
"Like you said, they're just here to curry favor with me. Chatting with them is boring. It's better to talk to you here. I think you're quite interesting to talk to!"
Yan Qing didn't care about him. This was his home. He could go wherever he wanted. No one could stop him.
Yan Qing took the small plate by himself, crossed his legs, picked up a piece of cake casually and put it in his mouth, looking ahead with lifeless eyes.
After a while, Yan Qing finished the food in her mouth. When she was about to grab some more, she grabbed nothing. She lowered her head in confusion. The plate was already empty. She looked to the side and saw that Huo Beiting's mouth was bulging, with some crumbs of pastry still on the corners of his mouth.
Yan Qing pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction, "Just go get what you want to eat! Why are you grabbing the food off my plate?"
Huo Beiting blinked twice innocently, pointed at the plate, and looked aggrieved.
"I told you, you were just lost in thought and didn't respond when I called you. I thought you heard me, and besides, it's just a little treat. I'll give you something even better!"
Huo Beiting's aggrieved look just now inexplicably reminded Yan Qing of the one at home. The two of them looked exactly the same when pretending to be aggrieved.
Yan Qing's mind was full of Huo Beiting's image, the way he pretended to be aggrieved, the way he cooked in the kitchen, the way he stood up for her. For a moment, Yan Qing couldn't stay any longer, feeling that staying for one more second would be a betrayal.
Without waiting for Huo Beiting to come back, Yan Qing stood up and walked towards Mr. Huo to resign.
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry. My nanny just called me and said she forgot to bring the house key. I have to go back and give it to her right away. I'm so sorry!"
When Huo Beiting returned, he didn't see Yan Qing. He found her next to his grandfather after passing the hall. When he went over, he heard that she was leaving. She actually chose such a poor reason.
It cannot be said that he is clumsy, because he is the only one who knows that Yan Qing does not have any nanny at home. She does not like the presence of irrelevant people at home, which makes her feel uncomfortable. The meals at home are basically contracted by him. Yan Qing will occasionally help with some housework, but most of the work is done by him. He is the nanny that Yan Qing mentioned.
"Oh, that's a shame. I was hoping to have you stay here for one night, but it seems like that's not possible!"
Huo Zhen sighed as he spoke, his tone full of regret.
Huo Zhen is not young anymore, and although he looks healthy, Yan Qing still feels a little uncomfortable when she hears it.
Yan Qing pursed her lips and pretended to be reluctant. In fact, it couldn't be said that she was pretending. She really liked this old man who was over 60 years old.
"I will come here often in the future. There will always be a chance!"
Huo Zhen nodded, and just when he saw his grandson Huo Beiting here, an idea came to his mind.
"Qingqing won't be staying here tonight. Her father has taken the car. This place is quite remote at night. You should drive her there!"
Yan Qing wanted to leave and also wanted to leave the man in front of her, so she asked him to send her off. At that time, the two of them would be in the same car. Yan Qing didn't dare to imagine what Huo Beiting would feel when he knew about it.
So he quickly refused, "No, no, I can just call a Didi on my phone. Didi is very convenient nowadays and will be here in a moment."
As Yan Qing spoke, she took out her cell phone and prepared to call a Didi. As soon as she opened the page, a shadow appeared in front of her and a big hand snatched the phone from her hand.
"Didi drivers are very unsafe nowadays, and we often see news about this on TV."
As Huo Beiting spoke, he gave Old Master Huo a look, indicating that he should help speak as well.
Grandpa Huo glanced at Huo Beiting with disdain, thinking that this brat hadn't even managed to get a little girl in such a long time, and he didn't know what he had been doing all this time.
But he is his grandson after all, and he is still waiting to hold his great-grandson!
"Yes, yes, Grandpa often sees related news online, such as teenage girls being kidnapped and killed by Didi drivers, teenage girls being abused, etc. This society is not safe nowadays. A little girl can't easily get into a stranger's car. Besides, we have a car at home. This brat has nothing to do anyway, so let him take you there!"
Yan Qing had noticed the look Huo Beiting gave Grandpa Huo and felt a little strange.
Logically speaking, it was the first time they met, and it wasn't love at first sight, so why would she still pursue him after being rejected once?
Moreover, this guy also knows that I have a boyfriend, and he knows him. As the saying goes, you should not bully your brother's wife. This is a common truth. How could he not understand it?
"Yeah, I'll go get the car now, it'll be there soon!"
Huo Beiting turned his head and coughed lightly. He was too embarrassed to accept Yan Qing's suspicious look and ran away quickly.
At this point, it would be impolite for Yan Qing to refuse, so he thanked Grandpa Huo.
"What's the big deal? You two can just cultivate your relationship. Your dad and I have already discussed it. If you two can be together..."
Before Huo Zhen could finish his words, Huo Beiting came back. Seeing Yan Qing's constipated face, he interrupted Grandpa Huo in time and took Yan Qing away.
