On the way back, Huo Jinning chattered away like a cheerful little bird, while Fu Qinian listened quietly with a doting smile.
A sweet and harmonious atmosphere permeated the two of them.
Wang Kun, the driver sitting in the front seat, couldn't help but show a relieved "auntie smile" on his face.
The car quickly arrived at the Fu family's residence. Upon entering, they saw a sumptuous feast already laid out, specially waiting for the two of them.
After washing their hands, everyone took their seats and began to enjoy the delicious meal.
As usual, Huo Jinning savored every dish until she was full, then contentedly put down her chopsticks.
At this moment, the Fu family's chefs were busy in the kitchen, feeling exceptionally happy, because they knew that the dishes they had carefully prepared had won the favor of their future mistress.
After the meal, Wei Qiuwan instructed the two to go upstairs and rest for a while.
In fact, only Huo Jinning was able to get a proper rest; while Fu Qinian had to continue handling many company affairs.
Around 3 p.m., Fu Qinian received a call from Song Shi.
It turned out that Song Shi had heard from Grandpa Fu at the hospital that Huo Jinning would be visiting the old man again tomorrow.
So he asked Fu Qinian if Huo Jinning was not planning to return to Beijing today.
After receiving a positive answer, he wanted to invite everyone to get together.
Fu Qinian did not immediately agree to Song Shi's suggestion, saying that he needed to consult Huo Jinning's opinion.
...
"Ningning, is this Song Shi, the doctor we met today, Grandpa's attending physician? He said he wants to treat us to dinner tonight. Do you want to go?" Fu Qin asked softly, his tone exceptionally gentle.
Huo Jinning tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Hmm... I'm fine with anything. Do you think we should go?"
"Let's go then! I happen to know a barbecue restaurant that's pretty good. How about we have him treat us to barbecue?"
"Barbecue? Great! I haven't had barbecue in ages." Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
[Barbecue, barbecue, here I come!]
[Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.]
It's been so long since I've had barbecue!
At this moment, Fu Qinian stared at Huo Jinning, who stood gracefully beside him. She unconsciously swallowed, but quickly returned to normal.
However, the scene before him was deeply imprinted in his heart—she was so playful and adorable.
"By the way, the kitchen made some cakes, would you like some?"
Fu Qinian suddenly remembered the message his mother had sent him, saying that if Ningning was hungry after waking up, there would be a cake in the kitchen.
“Yes, I want to eat it.” Huo Jinxin’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After answering Fu Qinian's question, she couldn't wait to go downstairs to the kitchen.
Fu Qinian took the opportunity to reply to Song Shi, confirm the meeting place, and ask the other party to arrange the specific time.
Not long after, Song Shi replied with a text message informing him that the meeting was scheduled for 7 p.m. that evening.
Just as the two finished speaking, Huo Jinning came up from downstairs carrying several cakes of various flavors.
"Fu Qinian, come and have some cake! Which flavor do you like? We have strawberry, blueberry, and chocolate..."
Huo Jinning enthusiastically showed the cakes in her hands to Fu Qinian, then gently placed them on Fu Qinian's desk, her face beaming with a bright smile and her gaze tenderly fixed on him.
"Strawberry flavor".
Since Huo Jinning knew that he liked sweets, there was no need for him to continue to hide or pretend; he could simply accept the fact.
"Here you go." Huo Jinning smiled and gently placed the delicate strawberry cake in front of Fu Qinian.
Then he casually pulled over a chair and sat directly opposite Fu Qinian.
As she savored the delicious treat in her hand, her gaze kept drifting to the equally tempting strawberry cake in Fu Qinian's hand, a hint of longing and anticipation in her eyes.
Finally, unable to suppress her longing for strawberry flavor, Huo Jinning asked softly, "Fu Qinian, what do you think of the strawberry cake?"
Fu Qinian nodded slightly and replied, "Hmm, not bad."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Huo Jinning became even more tempted, but still feigned modesty and continued to ask, "Really? It looks so tempting! Can I have just a tiny bit...?"
As she spoke, she gestured with her hand in a very small gesture to indicate that she would never be greedy.
Fu Qinian looked down at the cake in his hand that he had already bitten, feeling somewhat hesitant.
It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, it's just that I feel it's a bit inappropriate to hand it over directly like this.
However, when he looked up and met Huo Jinning's expectant gaze, he couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal.
[I never expected Fu Qinian to be so stingy; he wouldn't even share a single piece of cake with anyone.]
[But judging from how possessive he is of his food, the strawberry cake must be delicious!]
I really want to try it...
[I should have just not given it to him.]
Fu Qinian held the cake in his hand, caught in a dilemma: whether to give it or not.
He sighed helplessly, and finally decided to explain, "I've already eaten this cake. If you want some, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a new one for you."
However, Huo Jinning didn't appreciate it. She blinked her big, watery eyes, gazing expectantly at the cake in Fu Qinian's hand, and said in a sweet voice, "But... I want to eat it now."
