After arriving in Beijing, Wei Qiuwan went straight to her own hotel to check in.
After settling in briefly, they immediately dispatched people to inquire about Huo Jinning's recent schedule.
However, a whole day passed, and he still hadn't stepped out of the house.
Wei Qiuwan couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but she was not discouraged and decided to continue to wait patiently for the right opportunity.
Heaven rewards those who persevere!
Finally, she not only met Huo Jinning, whom she had been longing for, but also received an unexpected surprise—her son appeared with Huo Jinning!
...
"I'm in Beijing today, do you have time?"
Almost at the same instant, the other party replied.
The hapless bystander exclaimed, "Yes, yes, where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
It's worth noting that Huo Jinning is a complete "internet addict," spending her free time surfing the internet. Naturally, she was able to reply to Fu Qinian's sudden message immediately.
"Wait for me at home, I'll come pick you up, it'll take about half an hour."
Upon receiving the message, Huo Jinning responded with an "OK" emoji.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, Huo Jinning got into Fu Qinian's car as she had hoped.
"Did you need something from me?" Fu Qin asked in a calm tone, his thin lips slightly parted.
"Well, it's just a small matter. This is for you." Huo Jinning said, carefully taking out an exquisite wooden box from her bag.
"Give it to me?" Fu Qinian frowned slightly, a look of surprise on his face, but he did not immediately reach out to take the box.
"Hmm, open it and see if you like it?"
Huo Jinning seemed confident in the gift she had prepared. She gently took Fu Qinian's right hand and placed the wooden box in his palm.
Fu Qinian looked down at the small hand that had reached out to him. It was as delicate and smooth as white jade, with a faint pink tinge at the fingertips.
Recalling Huo Jinning's actions when she checked his leg injury last time, and her natural and intimate gestures now, this was the first time in Fu Qinian's life that he had paid such close attention to a girl's hand.
A strange impulse welled up inside him, making him want to gently knead those small hands. But when he realized his thoughts, he was startled and wondered what he was thinking.
Fortunately, Huo Jinning spoke again at this moment, successfully pulling his wandering thoughts back to reality.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Huo Jinning urged, sounding slightly anxious.
Her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, completely unaware of the turmoil in Fu Qinian's heart.
"Okay." Fu Qinian nodded gently, his voice as calm as ever, but if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a faint hoarseness mixed in.
In the blink of an eye, he was calm and composed, as if his momentary lapse in concentration was just an illusion that had never actually happened.
Seeing this, Huo Jinning asked softly, "Do you like it?"
Fu Qinian lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the exquisite gift box in front of him, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes that was not easily noticed by others.
He slowly extended his finger and gently stroked the smooth texture of the box, feeling its delicacy and quality.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Huo Jinning: "It's fine, thank you."
After saying that, Fu Qinian closed the box.
That's it.
[Perhaps it's because you don't like it!]
[Didn't the book say that Fu Qinian liked to collect thumb rings?]
[It seems I misspoke.]
[I won't be giving away thumb rings next time.]
Huo Jinning's face showed disappointment.
However, the person who was most surprised at this moment was Fu Qinian. He suddenly realized that even though there was no physical contact between them, he could still clearly hear Huo Jinning's inner voice.
She actually said that the character in the book loves collecting thumb rings. Does that mean they are actually inside a book?
This thought made Fu Qinian fall into deep thought.
“Miss Huo, I really like this gift. Thank you.” Fu Qinian said solemnly.
"Really??" Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning's previous disappointment vanished, and she eagerly asked.
"Hmm." Fu Qinian nodded slightly in affirmation.
[As it is, who could tell that they like it?]
[Such a nice face, but it's too serious.]
[I don't think I've ever seen him smile before?]
[It seems that domineering CEO novels aren't just made up; all the domineering CEOs are expressionless.]
[Hehe, thank goodness my older brother isn't like that, otherwise he'd end up like Fu Qinian, never able to find a wife.]
Fu Qinian remained silent, listening intently to Huo Jinning's rich inner world.
"You contacted me just to deliver this?"
After Huo Jinning calmed down a bit, Fu Qinian gently pointed to the small box in his hand and asked softly.
"Yes." Huo Jinning couldn't hide her smugness as she answered with great enthusiasm, "This was made from a rough stone I gambled on at the jade gambling market."
Fu Qinian looked at Huo Jinning, whose face was beaming with pride, as if she wanted to write "Come and praise me" directly on her face.
"Impressive," Fu Qinian echoed.
In fact, Fu Qinian was fully aware of the entire process of Huo Jinning's involvement in jade gambling.
He was even fully aware that the Fu family had sent someone to buy the rough stone that Huo Jinning had chosen.
Unfortunately, Huo Jinning ultimately rejected him without hesitation.
Hearing Fu Qinian's sincere praise, Huo Jinning's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. She then enthusiastically recounted her various amusing experiences gambling on stones and her glorious achievement of winning a huge sum of 45 million yuan.
"That's amazing."
Fu Qinian's originally taut facial features gradually softened, and he no longer seemed as cold and ruthless as before.
At this moment, looking at Huo Jinning in front of him, whose mouth never stopped chattering away.
Fu Qinian couldn't help but think to himself: Perhaps she wasn't entirely as he had previously thought, just someone who was scheming to get close to him for personal gain.
Moreover, the person who came here this time was simply looking to give himself a gift, and had no other intentions.
Fu Qinian had originally planned to ask her for a favor, to have her pretend to be his girlfriend, but now, how could he bring it up with her?
After much deliberation, Fu Qinian finally gave up on the idea.
Forget it, I'll just have to figure out how to deal with Mom myself!
Of course, imagination is wonderful.
When the two arrived at Grandpa Xu's house, the unexpected happened unexpectedly.
