Huo Nanchu had just stepped out of his hotel room when he ran into Huo Jinning, who had come looking for him.
"Big brother, you... hehe..." Huo Jinning pointed at his lips, grinning mischievously, looking exactly like a cunning little fox.
Huo Nanchu's heart tightened, but she still tried to remain calm and wiped her lips with her hand. Sure enough, there was a faint red stain on her finger, which was the lipstick mark left earlier.
His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, pretending to be nonchalant. However, his slightly reddened ears betrayed his inner turmoil.
[If it weren't for the crowds today, I wouldn't have reminded you.]
[Hehe, it seems even Big Brother couldn't resist Sister Yue's charm for a moment.]
[If Mom and Dad saw my older brother like this, they'd be overjoyed.]
[Hehe, who knows, maybe I'll have a nephew or niece soon.]
"You came to see me?" He looked at his younger sister, who was staring at him with a gossipy expression.
Huo Nanchu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and also somewhat embarrassed.
He knew his sister was overthinking things again, but in fact, things hadn't progressed to that point between him and Tang Yimian.
"Yes, Mom and Dad said the guests are leaving and they want you to go out and see them off," Huo Jinning said quickly, snapping out of her reverie.
"Let's go!" Huo Nanchu couldn't stand her sister's strange gaze, as if she had done something wrong.
He hurried toward the banquet hall, followed by Huo Jinning, who also harbored ulterior motives.
The brother and sister returned to the banquet hall one after the other.
At this moment, the rest of the Huo family were already seeing their guests off at the door.
[Now I finally have time to enjoy the gossip.]
[I was just faking a smile the whole time; my face got stiff.]
There are just too many melons to eat!
[To be so handsome and yet cheat on such a beautiful wife, how despicable!]
[Turns out he was henpecked, a big, burly man who took meticulous care of his wife at home, even washing her socks and underwear—a good man.]
[This is even funnier; he seems so carefree, but it turns out he's never been with a woman.]
[This woman is ruthless; she'll do anything for money...]
[...]
Huo Jinning didn't notice that while she was watching the drama unfold, the rest of her family were also quietly watching, sometimes finding it funny, sometimes finding it unbelievable.
"I'm so tired, my face is stiff. I've stayed in the mountains for a month and I've never felt this tired as I am today."
After winning the competition last time, Huo Chengyu took his camera to take pictures, and he has only been back for three days.
"Third Brother, you just haven't met someone you like, otherwise you wouldn't say that," Huo Jinning joked.
Huo Chengyu pouted: "I don't want to! I still prefer a free and unrestrained life."
"Haha, Third Brother, you're speaking too soon! Maybe one day you'll meet someone who makes your heart flutter!"
"Impossible! I'm a staunch believer in being single!" Huo Chengyu said resolutely.
However, at that moment, a message notification suddenly popped up on his phone.
Huo Chengyu opened the message and found it was from an unknown number. It contained only a few words: "Hello, this is Zhou Zihan."
He frowned, wondering who this person was.
How did I get his phone number?
And she even texted him?
"Who is it?" Huo Jinning asked curiously.
"I don't know, a stranger," Huo Chengyu replied casually.
"I've fallen in love with cameras for the rest of my life." Huo Chengyu casually put his phone in his pocket and then forgot about the text message.
Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Zihan on the other end of the phone was waiting for his message.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning couldn't help but laugh.
She knew her third brother loved cameras, but she still couldn't help teasing him.
"Haha, Third Brother, you'll be spending the rest of your life with cameras and photos from now on..."
"Alright, you're both tired, let's go back." Zhao Qiuying shook her head helplessly as she watched the bickering siblings, having no choice but to interrupt them.
"Okay, sure," the others chimed in.
Huo Nanchu first took Yue Yitang's parents and Yue Yitang home.
As they walked out of the banquet hall, they happened to run into Fu Qinian, who was still waiting outside.
"Qi, why haven't you gone back yet?" Huo Jinning asked curiously.
Fu Qinian smiled slightly and replied, "I just want to stay here a little longer and see if there's anything I can do to help."
Huo Jinning smiled and expressed her gratitude, telling him that everything had been taken care of and they were ready to leave.
However, at that moment, Zhao Qiuying noticed that Fu Qinian was still in a wheelchair and asked in confusion, "Xiaonian, why are you still in a wheelchair? Didn't you seem to have almost recovered when you came last time?"
Fu Qinian smiled and explained that although his leg injury had basically healed, he still felt some discomfort when standing or walking for long periods of time, so he chose to continue using a wheelchair to reduce the burden on his legs.
Zhao Qiuying nodded in understanding.
She was unaware that Huo Jinning had been kidnapped and that Fu Qinian had suffered a second leg injury.
Of course, everyone intentionally concealed this matter.
...
"Miss Xu, do you need any help?"
As Wang Bin was driving his police car past an intersection, he suddenly saw a slender figure pacing back and forth around a black sedan parked on the side of the road.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was Xu Luoqing, so they stopped the car and asked.
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Luoqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Wang Bin. Her face lit up with surprise and delight: "Officer Wang, what a coincidence!"
Wang Bin slowly brought the car to a stop, got out, and went to Xu Luoqing's side: "What's wrong with the car?"
Xu Luoqing nodded: "Yeah, I don't know what happened. It stalled here and won't start. I just called my assistant and asked her to come and handle it."
Wang Bin walked around to the front of the car, gently lifted the hood, and began to inspect the engine: "Let me take a look for you first."
Xu Luoqing looked at him curiously: "I didn't expect Officer Wang to know how to fix cars."
"I can fix it even if I just take a quick look."
"Okay, get in the car and try starting it," Wang Bin said after fiddling with it for a while.
"That's good, Officer Wang, you're amazing," Xu Luoqing praised.
"That's all, I'll be going now." Wang Bin closed the hood and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, Officer Wang, let me add your contact information. I'll treat you to a meal next time. You've helped me twice already." Xu Luoqing hurriedly got out of the car and stopped Wang Bin, who was about to leave.
"Miss Xu, you're too kind. It was nothing, no need for that."
"no."
Finally, after Xu Luoqing's persistent pleading, the two exchanged contact information.
Xu Luoqing called her assistant to tell her she didn't need to come, and then drove herself to the filming location.
