Not long after, Huo Zhen came up with a solution, so he turned around suddenly. Huo Beiting was lost in thought and didn't notice Huo Zhen's sudden turn. He had to react quickly, otherwise they would have bumped into each other.
"I have an idea."
Huo Zhen took Huo Beiting's hand and began to talk incessantly.
"Well, you come to the company tomorrow..."
Huo Zhen had only said half of his words when he received a questioning look from Huo Beiting.
"What are you thinking, brat! Wait until I finish what I'm saying! Look at you, you used to be a very steady person, why are you so impatient now?"
Huo Zhen slapped Huo Beiting on the forehead. Huo Beiting lowered his head and said nothing, quietly waiting for his grandfather's decision.
I thought to myself, if it's a bad idea, then just listen to it.
"Come directly to the company tomorrow, and then... then how should we let Father Yan know? He hasn't even asked anyone to keep an eye on you anymore..."
Huo Zhen got stuck halfway through his speech and fell into deep thought again.
Huo Beiting rubbed his forehead helplessly, thinking that it was better to give up the idea. At least now he had an idea for reference.
"Then you keep thinking. I'm a little hungry. I'll go downstairs to eat first."
When the housekeeper just came over, Huo Beiting had already noticed it, put on some clothes and prepared to go downstairs.
"Hey, wait, I'll go down with you!"
Huo Zhen thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good ideas. Besides, it was already seven o'clock and his stomach was empty, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Huo Beiting turned around, held Huo Zhen's arm, and walked into the restaurant with him to have dinner.
Huo Beiting hadn't been back for a long time, and the housekeeper prepared a very sumptuous meal, as if he was entertaining someone.
…
In the following days, Huo Beiting was unable to contact Yan Qing. His contact information seemed to have been blocked. There was no doubt that it must have been done by Yan's father.
Huo Beiting was a little melancholy, but there was no good solution, so he stayed at home during this period of time. He really didn't want to go to work. He was too tired mentally and felt uncomfortable physically.
Huo Beiting counted the days on his fingers every day, and it took a full week before he contacted Yan Qing again.
In fact, it was not he who contacted Yan Qing, but Yan Qing who contacted him.
That day, Huo Beiting received a call from an unfamiliar number and hesitated before answering the call.
The moment I picked up the phone, a familiar voice rang in my ears.
"Huo Beiting! I miss you so much!"
Huo Beiting also missed Yan Qing so much. It had been so long since he heard her voice.
"Me too."
Huo Beiting's voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep longing.
"Ahhh, you don't know. After that day, my dad forcibly took my phone away and deleted all your contact information in front of me. For a period of time afterwards, he watched me every day and wouldn't let me go back. I finally found this opportunity."
Yan Qing sounded extremely aggrieved, and Huo Beiting even heard her sniffling.
Huo Beiting liked to watch her sniffing the most, because she looked very cute when she did, so cute that he had the urge to pinch her.
"Uncle still disagrees?"
Huo Beiting asked softly, his voice a little cautious.
"It still doesn't work. I don't know why my dad suddenly doesn't like you anymore. We were fine before. I've asked him about it these past few days, but I can't get any answer. It worries me to death."
As Yan Qing spoke, it seemed as if he had hit something hard. The sound was so loud that Huo Beiting could hear it clearly through the phone.
"There's nothing I can do about it. After a while, when my uncle's anger has subsided a little, I'll go visit him in person and get to know him better, okay?"
"Yeah, oh my, my dad is coming back from a meeting, so I'm going to leave first. This is my new number. I also registered a WeChat account. You can add me on WeChat later, and if there's anything, we can talk on WeChat!"
After saying that, Yan Qing hung up the phone, and Huo Beiting had to swallow the rest of the words back into his stomach.
For a period of time afterwards, Huo Beiting and Yan Qing were secretly in contact on WeChat. They would share the most taboo things on WeChat and also work together to find solutions.
Because he finally got to talk to Yan Qing, Huo Beiting's mood improved a lot.
Even the housekeeper and Huo Zhen could clearly notice the improvement in Huo Beiting's mood.
That day, Huo Zhen finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you been in touch with my granddaughter-in-law recently? You seem so happy every day."
Huo Beiting listened and touched his face without any hesitation, thinking, is it really that obvious?
But he nodded. "Qingqing recently secretly got a new number and registered for WeChat. We've been in touch there these past few days."
"Is that so? That's fine too! Keep in touch and bring him back to me as soon as possible. Tell me how long it's been going on. When will this great-grandson of mine end?"
Huo Zhen began to feel melancholy as he spoke. At this moment, Huo Yuanlu came down from upstairs yawning.
"Hi! Brother, good morning, Grandpa!"
Huo Yuanlu rubbed his messy hair and went downstairs in his slippers.
"Can't you clean yourself up?"
Huo Beiting is a mysophobe and can't stand Huo Yuanlu's behavior.
"Oh, I don't have to go to the company today anyway, so why should I pack? I'll finish my meal and then go upstairs to sleep for a while. I slept too late last night and I'm a little sleepy."
As he spoke, Huo Yuanlu yawned again, and his palms felt itchy when he looked at Huo Beiting.
"What did you do last night? Staying up so late."
"Yeah, I didn't do anything, just played a game. Hey, brother, let me tell you, I met a rubbish teammate when I was playing games yesterday. You don't even know, that idiot kept rushing forward to kill people, and we couldn't pull him back. Later, I asked him to stay in the crystal and not attack, but he didn't listen. Oh my god, it really worried me to death."
As he spoke, Huo Yuanlu sighed again, and so did Huo Zhen.
"Look at you, all you do all day is play games. When will you be able to help share some of the work at the company?"
"Ah? Isn't brother back? Isn't it better to have brother around? Besides, I don't know how to do anything, and if I go there, I'll just cause more trouble!"
Huo Yuanlu smiled and shook his head as he spoke, and just at this moment the housekeeper brought the food.
Huo Yuanlu buried his head in it and started eating.
"You, you! You're really hopeless! If you look like this, which girl would dare to marry you?"
Huo Zhen couldn't stop sighing as he spoke, one sigh after another.
"Oh, my brother isn't married yet! How can I be so embarrassed to get ahead of him? It won't be too late to find a partner after he gets married. I'm still young anyway. Grandpa, you should take care of my brother first!"
Huo Yuanlu started eating again after saying this, because Huo Yuanlu's words successfully set Huo Zhen's target on Huo Beiting.
