Fu Qinian gazed quietly at the sleeping Huo Jinning, a feeling of indescribable helplessness welling up inside him.
After all, none of the girls he had met since childhood had ever been as free-spirited and easygoing as Huo Jinning.
Every word and action of hers reveals politeness and good manners, yet she is completely unrestrained, cleverly blending these seemingly contradictory ways of behaving into one.
Even after returning to the Huo family, she did not force herself to integrate into the so-called high society, and spent most of her time alone at home.
He showed a friendly attitude, but did not appear overly intimate.
This feeling of being neither close nor distant made Fu Qinian think: she already knew what would happen in the future, and her marriage to him was just to be useful to him someday.
Especially today, her mother spoke so bluntly, clearly regarding her as a future daughter-in-law, yet she was completely oblivious, mistakenly believing that her mother intended to adopt her as a goddaughter.
Such unique thinking is truly not found in ordinary people.
If he couldn't hear Huo Jinning's thoughts, he might already be suspicious and wonder if Huo Jinning was deliberately using this opportunity to get close to him.
However, once he understood Huo Jinning's true thoughts, all his doubts vanished.
There's another thing he still doesn't understand today: why he can suddenly hear Huo Jinning's thoughts without any physical contact.
He also specifically tested it at Grandpa Xu's house. He could hear it within about a meter, but he couldn't hear it beyond that.
He couldn't understand why.
Furthermore, I didn't get any useful information from her on either of those two occasions.
......
"Young Master, we've arrived," Wang Kun said softly from the driver's seat.
""Um. "
Then, Fu Qinian turned to look at Huo Jinning beside him and said softly, "Miss Huo, we're home."
He called her name four or five times, but Huo Jinning remained unresponsive, as if she were immersed in a sweet dream.
Left with no other choice, Fu Qinian reached out and gently nudged Huo Jinning's shoulder.
"Mom, let me sleep a little longer... just a little while longer..."
Huo Jinning mumbled in a half-asleep state, too lazy to even open her eyes, her little mouth slightly pouting, seemingly displeased at being woken up.
Seeing this adorable scene before him, Fu Qinian couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
He found that Huo Jinning looked very well-behaved after falling asleep, her body almost motionless, like a quiet sleeping beauty.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Fu Qinian gave up trying to wake Huo Jinning.
He thought to himself, "Let her sleep."
"Uncle Wang, please find a spot on the side of the road that won't obstruct traffic. We'll set off after Miss Huo wakes up," Fu Qinian instructed in a low voice.
"Yes, young master," Wang Kun replied respectfully.
Then, he secretly glanced at Huo Jinning, who was fast asleep, through the rearview mirror, and thought to himself: This young lady and our young master are truly a match made in heaven!
When he first met the girl, he keenly noticed that the way the young master treated her was different from that of others.
It seems that it won't be long before the family welcomes a young mistress, and perhaps even a young master in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Kun couldn't help but smile broadly, his eyes and brows revealing his joy.
However, Fu Qinian, sitting in the back row, saw Wang Kun's expression clearly, so how could he not understand what he was thinking?
At this moment, Fu Qinian felt an indescribable weariness.
He did approach Huo Jinning with a certain purpose, but it wasn't what they imagined.
The reason is just too bizarre to explain to others in a short time.
Afterwards, Fu Qinian reached for the notebook placed to the side, gently opened it, and began to concentrate on his work.
Time passed quietly, and after about an hour and a half, Huo Jinning, who had been sitting quietly in the car seat, finally woke up.
She blinked her sleepy eyes, her gaze somewhat dazed, as if she hadn't fully woken up from her dream.
After a while, her consciousness gradually cleared. After looking around, she realized that she was in Fu Qinian's car when she saw him working intently.
"Um... are we at my house yet?" Huo Jinning rubbed her eyes and asked with a hint of doubt.
"Um."
Fu Qinian responded softly, and upon hearing Huo Jinning's voice, he casually closed the laptop in his hand.
"Um, I'm so sorry, I accidentally fell asleep just now. I'll get out of the car now, I'm sorry for the trouble." Huo Jinning apologized as she prepared to open the car door and get out.
"Wait a moment, Miss Huo."
Seeing that Huo Jinning was about to leave, Fu Qinian hurriedly called out to her to stop.
At the same time, Wang Kun quickly opened the car door next to Fu Qinian and helped Fu Qinian into the wheelchair.
"My mother today..." Fu Qinian was about to explain what had happened today to Huo Jinning, but before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by another unexpected voice.
"Ningning, you're back." Zhao Qiuying happened to return and saw Huo Jinning getting out of the car. She quickly rolled down the car window.
"Mom, Dad, you went out?"
"Hmm." Before she finished speaking, Zhao Qiuying and Huo Shan caught sight of Fu Qinian standing to the side and instantly understood.
This person was probably Fu Qinian, the head of the reclusive Fu family that his daughter had mentioned before, so the two of them decided to get out of the car.
"Ningning, who is this?" Zhao Qiuying asked her daughter with great interest.
"Mom, this is Fu Qinian. He invited me to dinner today."
"Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Shan took the initiative to extend his right hand to shake hands with him.
"Hello, uncles and aunts, please just call me Xiao Nian."
Fu Qin responded softly, his demeanor displaying elegance and politeness.
"Alright, alright, since we're already here, why don't we come in and have a seat?" Huo Shan said with a broad smile, extending a very warm invitation to the other party.
"Uncle Huo, I'm so sorry to bother you any longer today. I have some things to take care of later. I will definitely visit you when I have time in the future."
"Okay, come find me whenever you're free. We'll have to have a couple of drinks then."
"Okay, definitely."
However, Fu Qinian was delayed because he wanted to explain what had happened today.
He planned to send a message to Huo Jinning to explain after he finished his work.
Huo Jinning stood still and waved in the direction Fu Qinian had left.
Only after she saw Fu Qinian's car drive further and further away until it disappeared from sight did she turn around and get into her own car.
