After watching the two Huo brothers leave, Zhao Ziyi and Qian Chengyi turned around and started their journey home.
"Third Brother, wait a minute," Huo Jinning suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?" Huo Chengyu, who was driving, stepped on the brakes in confusion and slowly brought the car to a stop.
"I think I saw someone I know. Could you back the car a little?" Huo Jinning explained, her eyes fixed on the window, her expression slightly anxious.
Huo Chengyu reversed the car as instructed. Through the car window, they noticed a car parked on the side of the road, with a man in a wheelchair and a driver next to it.
"It really is you! What happened to your leg?" After the car came to a stop, Huo Jinning hurriedly opened the car door, walked quickly to the man, and asked with concern and anxiety.
Huo Chengyu also got out of the car, but didn't say anything and stayed quietly to the side.
When did my sister meet someone like that?
He exuded a natural air of authority simply by sitting there, his expression calm and composed.
The person's presence immediately draws attention, and their every gesture exudes a composed and unhurried demeanor.
Fu Qinian looked up and saw that the person who had come was Huo Jinning. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Master, it's actually you!"
At this moment, Huo Jinning was wearing a blue tracksuit, her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and she looked refreshing and neat.
Fu Qinian pondered to himself that it seemed every time he met her, she was dressed in sportswear, so it looked like she really liked sportswear.
"What happened to your leg?" Huo Jinning asked, involuntarily reaching out to gently touch Fu Qinian's injured leg.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury, a slight fracture. I'll recover after a while," Fu Qin replied softly.
Fu Qinian looked down at a delicate, fair hand gently placed on his thigh, a stark contrast to his black trousers, and his body stiffened slightly.
[It's just a minor fracture, nothing serious.]
[Sigh, it seems he didn't take those precautions I mentioned last time to heart!]
[Otherwise, how could you have injured your leg?]
Fortunately, the situation wasn't too bad this time, unlike the severe depiction in the book.
[Fine, I've already given all the necessary reminders, and there's nothing more I can do about the rest.]
[Consider it repayment for the life-saving favor he showed the original owner in the book.]
Upon hearing these words, Huo Chengyu raised his head and looked at Fu Qinian, thinking to himself: So this person once saved the original Ningning.
"I haven't properly thanked the master for what happened last time. Thanks to his timely reminder, I escaped a terrible ordeal."
"It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to ask. I wonder when would be a convenient time for you, Master? I would like to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude." Fu Qinian was surprised to find that he could hear the young girl's thoughts again.
"Um, you really don't need to be so polite as to call me 'Master'! Just call me Huo Jinning." Huo Jinning was genuinely a little afraid of the title "Master".
"Okay, sure," Fu Qin replied softly.
"What are you doing here?" Huo Jinning asked with concern.
"My car broke down, so I have to wait here for my family to send another car," Fu Qinian said calmly.
"Oh, I see! Are you in a hurry? How about we give you a ride?" Huo Jinning offered enthusiastically.
"Thank you so much! I'm sorry to have troubled you." Fu Qinian showed his gratitude and accepted the offer.
“No trouble at all. I haven’t introduced him yet. This is my third brother, Huo Chengyu,” Huo Jinning said.
"Hello, Mr. Huo," Fu Qinian greeted him.
"Third Brother, this is Fu Qinian. We've met once before."
"Hello, Mr. Fu," Huo Chengyu said warmly.
"Uncle Wang, you stay," Fu Qinian said to Wang Kun.
"Yes, young master," Wang Kun replied respectfully.
There was one more person in the car on the way back, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Moreover, Fu Qinian discovered that he could no longer hear Huo Jinning's inner thoughts.
Judging from Huo Jinning's expressive face, you can tell she has a lot on her mind.
Fu Qinian looked at Huo Jinning's hand and had a guess. Could it be that she could only hear him when she touched him? It seems that he still needs to verify this.
"Miss Huo, could you please read my palm one more time and tell me if it's auspicious or inauspicious?" Fu Qinian broke the silence in the car.
[I'm not a charlatan.]
"I saw it last time. You only have this one hurdle. Once you get over it, your life will be smooth sailing." Huo Jinning had no choice but to make something up.
Huo Chengyu couldn't help but laugh as he watched his sister's discomfiture.
"Let me take another look." Fu Qinian held out his hand but didn't take it back.
Huo Jinning had no choice but to pretend to watch.
[If I had known, I wouldn't have made trouble for myself.]
[What will I watch?]
[I remember in the original book, Fu Qinian lost both legs after this car accident and was unable to walk properly.]
[It disappeared a few years later.]
[His leg is fine now, so he should be alright too!]
[No, his second uncle and assistant are also ticking time bombs.]
[They might attack him again at any time.]
[How should I put it?]
"Miss Huo..." Fu Qin called out softly.
He tried to get Huo Jinning's attention, who was intently looking at the lines on his palm.
At this moment, Fu Qinian thought to himself: Just as I expected, we can only hear each other's voices when we are in contact.
However, the two haven't had much contact, so it seems we need to think of a solution...
"Ah, oh! I've already decided. You will have a peaceful and prosperous life, enjoying endless wealth and honor. You will surely have many children and grandchildren, and a happy and fulfilling family life," Huo Jinning said, trying to appear calm.
In fact, she knew perfectly well that she had just made up a bunch of nonsense, and she would never watch it again.
Fu Qinian slowly withdrew his hand, smiling as he replied, "Yes, thank you for your kind words, Miss Huo."
"Not at all, not at all, no need to thank me." Huo Jinning waved her hand somewhat guiltily, indicating that she didn't deserve it.
Immediately afterward, Fu Qinian took out his phone from his pocket and suggested, "Ms. Huo, if it's convenient, how about we exchange contact information? I'd like to treat you to a meal sometime to express my gratitude."
"Okay, sure." Huo Jinning nodded readily.
So, the two successfully added each other's contact information.
Fu Qinian's profile picture is a photo of a car parked in a vast desert, while his nickname is simple and straightforward, consisting of only the character "Nian".
Huo Jinning's profile picture is an adorable Persian cat, and her nickname is "The Melon-Eating Badger".
