Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Fuqinian and Huo Jinning arrived at the Huo family home.
On this day, the entire Huo family was unusually at home, and everyone was waiting for Huo Jinning to return.
As Huo Jinning stepped into the house, she immediately shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm home!"
"You still know to come back, I thought..."
Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Zhao Qiuying was about to scold her, but her gaze instantly fixed on Fu Qinian, and she stopped speaking abruptly.
"Mom, look, I'm back! And I've missed you all so much."
At this moment, Zhao Qiuying's attitude changed. She politely said to Fu Qinian, "Mr. Fu has also arrived. Please come in."
Fu Qinian displayed his polite demeanor and replied, "Aunt Huo, you are too kind. Just call me Xiao Nian."
His tone was humble and friendly, making people feel very comfortable.
In addition, Fu Qinian deliberately wore casual clothes today instead of a suit, which made him appear more approachable and less imposing.
However, Huo Jinning did not notice any of these things.
"Mom, don't be so polite with Aqi! Just call him by his name," Huo Jinning interjected with a smile.
And in the last two weeks, I've gotten used to calling Fu Qinian "Aqi".
"You silly child." Zhao Qiuying gently patted Huo Jinning's head, her eyes full of affection.
"Don't chat at the door, come in and talk." At this moment, Huo Shan heard the voice and walked over, standing up as he spoke.
As soon as the group sat down, Wang Kun got busy, carrying things back and forth into the living room. After five or six trips, he finally finished moving everything.
The Huo family members were somewhat surprised to see the mountain of gifts piled up before them.
They never expected that Fu Qinian would bring so many generous gifts on a single visit, and that each gift was carefully selected, catering to almost everyone.
Although the Huo family had no shortage of such things, they had never met a guest as generous and courteous as Fu Qinian before.
"Xiao Nian, there are just too many things. You can take them back with you when you leave later," Zhao Qiuying said with a troubled expression.
"Auntie, my mother repeatedly told me to bring this over, I dare not take it back." Fu Qinian smiled gently and explained in a tender tone.
"No, no, this is too much. How about this, Auntie will pick a few things to keep, and you can take the rest back with you."
However, after some back and forth, Zhao Qiuying was finally persuaded by Fu Qinian and happily accepted all the gifts.
At the same time, her affection for Fu Qinian grew even stronger.
Huo Jinning watched Fu Qinian, who was talking to his mother, with a smile and an expression of admiration.
Meanwhile, Huo Shan, Huo Nanchu, Huo Zimo, and Huo Chengyu stared fiercely at Fu Qinian like hungry wolves, but did not say a word.
In reality, they didn't like Fu Qinian as much as Zhao Qiuying did.
In their view, Fu Qinian had ulterior motives. Not only did he abduct his daughter/sister for several days, but he also gave her so many gifts. He must have some ulterior motive.
Therefore, they must remain vigilant at all times.
However, Fu Qinian's impeccable manner left them helpless, and they could only watch as he did nothing.
Only Huo Jinxin, her eyes sparkling with excitement, stared intently at Fu Qinian and her sister, secretly thinking that the two were a match made in heaven, and observing their interaction with great curiosity.
Soon, Fu Qinian discussed business matters with Fu Nanchu, while Huo Zimo exchanged views with him on topics related to the arts, such as performance and singing.
As for Huo Chengyu, the conversation naturally turned to photography, and he generously gifted him a globally limited edition camera.
After these interactions, the three brothers' attitudes became noticeably more lenient, and they all thought that Fu Qinian was a pretty good person.
However, only Huo Shan still harbored resentment towards Fu Qinian.
After dinner, Fu Qinian played two games of chess with Huo Shan, and his attitude softened slightly.
After glancing at the time, Huo Shan realized it was already eight o'clock. Only after being reminded by Zhao Qiuying did he put down his chess pieces. Somewhat reluctant to stop, he agreed to a rematch next time.
Huo Jinning also admired Fu Qinian greatly. She never expected that he could successfully become one with her family in just one afternoon. It was truly extraordinary.
"Ningning, go see Xiao Nian off." Zhao Qiuying said to Huo Jinning as Fu Qinian was about to leave.
Then she turned to Fu Qinian and said, "Xiao Nian, come visit often when you have time."
"Okay, Auntie," Fu Qinian replied politely.
"Okay, Mom." Huo Jinning stood up from the sofa.
"Uncle, Aunt, Ashan, Xiaomo, Xiaoyu, and Xinxin, goodbye." Fu Qinian politely said goodbye to the Huo family members one by one.
…… ……
"I didn't expect you to be so capable." Huo Jinning pushed Fu Qinian forward, a hint of admiration on her face.
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinian was slightly taken aback and looked at her with some confusion: "What do you mean?"
"You only took one afternoon to win over our whole family. That's really impressive!" Huo Jinning explained with a smile, releasing one of her hands that had been pushing the wheelchair and giving a thumbs up.
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinian said gently, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that your family members are all very easy to get along with."
“That’s true, my family is very good,” Huo Jinning said with a proud look.
At this moment, the car arrived in front of them. Wang Kun opened the car door, and Fu Qinian turned his wheelchair to get in.
"Goodbye, Aqi, and goodbye, Uncle Wang too." Huo Jinning stood there and waved goodbye to Fu Qinian.
"Goodbye, Ningning." Fu Qinian waved and then got into his car and left.
"By the way, my family is holding a family reunion banquet the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you have time? If you do, you can come." Huo Jinning said as if she had suddenly remembered the banquet.
Fu Qinian answered without hesitation, "Yes, sure, no problem, I happen to have time. I will definitely be there on time." His tone was firm and full of sincerity.
"Okay, goodbye."
Huo Jinning was very happy that Fu Qinian could come, but she hadn't realized how happy she was yet.
Then, she watched quietly as the car slowly drove out of sight, before turning and heading home.
