"By the way, this is for you. It's a keychain we specially customized for our customers when we opened our business."
Song Xuening walked over, and before she could get the fried yogurt in her hands, she saw the owner handing her two black and white cow key chains.
In fact, this cold drink shop mainly sells original milk-flavored cold drinks. The sign is also a cartoon similar to Mr. Cow, and the mascot is of course a little cow wearing a red apron.
"How exquisite... the apron can even be taken off."
Song Xue Ning took the two key chains, her girlish heart bursting, and she handed one to Huo Yuanlu behind her with a smile.
He was a little dazed, and for a moment, he thought they had a couple's keychain. His ears felt hot, and he took it and put it in his pocket.
Seeing that they liked it, the young lady's smile became even more intense. She handed over another membership card, "This is our family's membership card. Points can be redeemed for cold drinks and desserts..."
The activities of this store were exactly what foodie Song Xue Ning liked. She praised the owner a lot, then got the fried yogurt and pulled Huo Beiting away.
Holding the slightly cool fried yogurt in her hand, Song Xue Ning got into Huo Yuanlu's car with satisfaction.
"I haven't eaten this in a long time." She took a small plastic spoon and took a big bite. Then she said, "There used to be one downstairs from my office, but the rent was too expensive. I couldn't continue, so I moved out."
"If you really like it, I'll open one downstairs from your company."
Huo Yuanlu said this to her as he backed up the car.
Song Xue Ning thought he was joking. Not only did she not think much about it, she also teased him, "Come on, you are the second young master of the Huo family, and you ran to open a cold drink shop downstairs from your sister-in-law's company... If President Xiao Yan and President Huo knew that I instigated you to go there, they would peel off my skin, hahahaha."
She laughed freely and heartily, completely devoid of the reserved look she had when the two had just met.
Huo Yuanlu also laughed, "If I weren't Huo Yuanlu, or a member of the Huo family, would you still smile at me like that?"
"Of course." Song Xue Ning said without hesitation, "To be honest, I didn't dare to talk to you at first, because people of your status are all spoiled. Living with the king is like living with a tiger. I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would lose my job."
As she finished her words, she took another bite of fried yogurt.
Because of her emphasis, the owner added a lot of oranges to her cup. Although it was a bit sour, it tasted particularly refreshing in the cool weather of early autumn.
"Girls should eat less cold food."
Huo Yuanlu started the car. Although he enjoyed seeing Song Xuening's happy look when she ate, it was also true that raw and cold food were harmful to girls' health.
Song Xue Ning curled her lips: "What? Are you controlling me now?"
What he meant was that he would probably have to take care of her more often in the future.
"If I don't take care of you, who else do you want to take care of you?" Huo Yuanlu asked back.
Just as they encountered a red light, their eyes met and they smiled at each other. At this moment, they suddenly understood what the other had been thinking.
"that……"
"I……"
"You go first."
"You go first."
Huo Yuanlu and Song Xue Ning opened their mouths at the same time, and gave in at the same time because of their inexplicable tacit understanding. They smiled helplessly.
"Then let me make this clear." He smiled slightly and started the car. Although his eyes were not on Song Xuening, his heart had already been stolen by her. "I don't know why, but now I say I love you very much, it always feels superficial... But it's really inexplicable, I like you very much."
His words were a little incoherent, but fortunately it did not affect Song Xue Ning's ability to understand the implicit information in his words.
She thought for a long moment, then solemnly responded to the other person's words, saying, "Actually, I like you too, ever since the wedding of the century. You protected me so much from that lunatic Ruan Mowei... but I can't tell whether you were trying to protect me, Song Xuening, or simply didn't want your brother and sister-in-law's wedding to be ruined."
It is normal for her to have such thoughts. After all, who would want to be the one who is self-indulgent?
"No."
Huo Yuanlu was a little anxious to defend himself and spoke quickly.
"I know you don't, I can see it these days..."
Song Xue Ning was halfway through her speech when she suddenly stopped talking. She had her own unspeakable secret and really couldn't speak.
Huo Yuanlu could probably guess her concerns and spoke for her directly: "Are you trying to say that our families are very different? Or that the Huo family is not easy to enter?"
Hearing this, she nodded vigorously.
"I'm not the type of person who's desperately trying to marry into a wealthy family. Apart from my good academic background, I really don't know what advantages I have."
After Song Xue Ning finished speaking, she gave a wry smile.
But in Huo Yuanlu's eyes, she has both a beautiful appearance and an interesting soul, so he would never allow her to say that about herself.
"You're beautiful... Do you doubt my taste?"
"Beautiful? I have nothing in common with beautiful people."
The two of them chatted back and forth, and the car soon arrived at Yan Qing's company.
Huo Beiting and his wife were upstairs, waiting for them to come and meet up after they finished their shopping.
Song Xuening got out of the car carrying her things. She had already eaten up the fried yogurt in her hand. She turned her head to look at the cup in Huo Yuanlu's hand, which she hadn't even touched...
She knew better than anyone that it wasn't because he had no hands to eat while driving.
Thinking of this, Song Xue Ning couldn't help but feel an indescribable discomfort in her heart. Her original good impression of Huo Yuanlu was like a pattern drawn on the beach. No matter how moving and beautiful it was, when the waves came and the sea tide rose, no one knew how much would be left.
"You see, there is actually a huge gap between us." Song Xue Ning waved the empty plastic cup in her hand at him, and then threw it into the trash can along with the plastic spoon given by the shop owner.
Seeing this, Huo Yuanlu reached out to stop Song Xuening, but her hand was too quick. By the time he reached her, the plastic cup had already been thrown into the trash can.
He looked down and saw the cup lying alone in the black trash can, feeling mixed emotions.
"Xue Ning, I am serious about you."
After thinking for a long time, Huo Yuanlu could only utter such a somewhat weak sentence.
Then he walked to Song Xuening and held her hand tightly to show his feelings.
Song Xue Ning's gaze remained on his face, as if she was examining his sincerity, or as if she was seeing something else through his face.
"You're just being serious with me now."
