After hearing what Song Xuening said, Yan Qing burst out laughing. Then, she stretched out her white fingers, tapped the other person's head, and then made a promise.
"I didn't lie to you..."
It would be strange if I didn't lie to her.
But Yan Qing said the second half of the sentence silently in her heart. She had finally gotten the chance to be a matchmaker, and she couldn't fail like this.
It turned out that ever since her wedding to Huo Beiting, Huo Yuanlu had been inexplicably bewitched by Song Xuening. He had nothing to do all day, so he would reluctantly ask his brother about her in a roundabout way, which made Huo Beiting laugh and cry.
Since her brother-in-law was so interested in the senior assistant of her company, Yan Qing certainly couldn't give up the opportunity to bring the two together. As soon as Huo Beiting told her about this, she agreed and promised that she would definitely tie their love together.
"Well, you'd better make a deadlock."
The jokes Huo Beiting had said to her flashed through her mind again.
Song Xue Ning was skeptical, but she couldn't resist the tempting aroma of the barbecue restaurant. She looked around for a long time and made sure that Huo Beiting was not there before following him in.
However, as they got closer to the reserved location, Song Xue Ning's heart began to beat uncontrollably, thump thump, so wildly that it was about to jump out of her throat.
"Boss Xiaoyan..."
Song Xue Ning was just about to ask whether the Huo brothers were really not here, but before she could finish her words, she saw Huo Beiting's smiling face!
Well, now you don’t even have to ask!
Next, Huo Beiting and her eyes met, and both of them blushed for no apparent reason.
"You, why are you here?" Song Xuening was pulled to a seat by Yan Qing. In order not to appear too embarrassed, she took the initiative to speak, "Ms. Xiaoyan didn't mention that you guys were coming too..."
Her last words were meant for Yan Qing to hear. After she finished speaking, she relied on her anger to gain courage, and with the help of the table as a cover, she stepped hard on Yan Qing.
Yan Qing was hurt by Song Xue Ning's step. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he endured it and didn't cry out in pain.
"I happened to be free today and was nearby, so my brother dragged me here."
Huo Beiting lied with his eyes open just to save face for himself and not let Song Xuening think that he was taking advantage of her.
The heroine of the barbecue restaurant dinner nodded and said nothing more.
The waiter came over and placed two menus in front of the four people. He then began to introduce the restaurant's specialties, saying, "Our best-selling dish is black pepper barbecue. Would you like to try it?"
Song Xue Ning nodded, and pointed to several dishes marked with signature words on the menu before giving up.
As for Huo Beiting and the others, they had long known that she was a real foodie, so they didn't say anything. They each ordered a few dishes and waited for the food to be served.
"Is this place famous? I think there are a lot of people here."
Huo Beiting took the initiative to pour Song Xuening a cup of barley tea, and then seized the opportunity to talk to her.
She nodded gratefully, "Yes, I wanted to come a long time ago, but I couldn't get a table, so I never got to eat."
"I happened to know the store manager here, so I saved a seat for him."
After Huo Beiting said this, his status in Song Xue Ning's heart suddenly became many times higher.
She asked him with eyes almost shining with stars: "Really? Thank you so much for this time..."
After a while, they started to talk more and were no longer as shy as when they first sat down. The atmosphere between the four of them also relaxed a lot.
Yan Qing took a sip of barley tea, raised her head and glanced at Huo Beiting quietly, who happened to be looking at her as well.
Huo Beiting held her somewhat cold hand and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Are you tired at the company today?"
Seeing that Song Xuening and Huo Yuanlu were chatting enthusiastically, Yan Qing no longer needed to adjust the atmosphere, so she started talking to her beloved husband with peace of mind.
"I'm so busy today. My dad says nice things about how he feels sorry for us newlyweds, but he actually gives me a lot of work."
Yan Qing pouted, looking really aggrieved.
Huo Beiting reached out and pinched her little face, comforting her: "Your mouth is pouting so much that you can hang a bottle of oil on it. When you finish your work for a while, I will take you out to play."
"real?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Huo Yuanlu heard the conversation between his brother and sister-in-law and suddenly interrupted, asking, "Have you decided where to go for fun?"
Yan Qing realized that his brother-in-law wanted them to create opportunities for him and Song Xue Ning.
"I can't possibly take you two with me. I haven't had time to go on Yan Qing's honeymoon yet. You better be careful."
Huo Beiting was not stupid. He grabbed his brother's abacus and smashed it to pieces.
Huo Yuanlu tutted twice, almost acting like a spoiled child, "Of course you have to go somewhere nice for your honeymoon. Why don't you go somewhere nearby for the next two days?"
Seeing Huo Beiting didn't say anything, he could only turn around and try to conquer his new sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, please let my brother take me with you quickly. You can also give Assistant Song a break."
It seems that Song Xue Ning and Huo Yuanlu are getting along very well, and she is looking at Yan Qing with anticipation.
However, Yan Qing didn't dare to agree easily. Her eyes repeatedly wandered between Huo Beiting's threatening gaze and Song Xuening's slow anticipation. Finally...
In the end, Yan Qing gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and didn't look at her husband, and said, "Okay, let's go out and have some fun these few days. It's considered relaxing!"
What could be more important than my brother-in-law's lifelong event?
She and Huo Beiting still have a lot of time to be alone!
As for the torturous "punishment" Yan Qing faced that night because of this decision, that is a story for later.
Seeing that they had time to spend together, the two "marriageable young people" each had their own little thoughts and invited others to barbecue.
Yan Qing didn't dare to look at Huo Beiting, but fortunately he didn't blame her for long and kept putting grilled meat on her plate.
The barbecue dinner that Song Xue Ning had been longing for was soon almost finished.
"I've been thinking about it. Why don't we go to Maple Valley next week? It's autumn now, so it's a great place for taking photos."
Huo Beiting wiped the oil stains from his mouth, looked up and suggested.
Yan Qing nodded. "Beiting and I haven't taken many photos together yet. This is a good opportunity to take one and use it as my screen saver."
"Wedding photos don't count as group photos?" Huo Beiting raised his eyebrows, leaving Yan Qing speechless. "However, I think instead of going to Maple Leaf Valley, it's better to go to the Ginkgo Forest. It's more poetic there. What do you think?"
“I think it’s great!”
Song Xuening, who had just finished the last piece of barbecue, looked up and hammered the final word.
