[I was more boring than you when I was young.]
Lin Wanli turned to look at him and said in her heart.
[I was so unhappy every day. I didn’t know why Grandma didn’t like me. I didn’t understand why Father was so hypocritical. I don’t know if he’s heartless to begin with, or if he’s just being careless because he doesn’t want to face me.]
Huo Jiuxiao carried her to the desk and pointed to the wooden box at the foot of the bed. He said, “When I was young, there were many frogs in the yard. At night, I would catch a few and put them in the box. In the middle of the night, I would hear the butler jump up and shout.”
Lin Wanli couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that.
“Another time, I buried Grandma’s medical skull in the ground and scared the gardener into calling the police.”
As Lin Wanli listened to Master Xiao describe his childhood, those images immediately became vivid in her mind. She really liked Huo Jiuxiao, who had a fiery aura around him. He was mischievous and made people not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was very healthy and happy.
If not for his parents’ divorce, car accident, and hearing loss…
When Lin Wanli thought of this, she stopped smiling. She reached out and unbuttoned Huo Jiuxiao’s grey shirt. One button… Two, until the scars on his body were exposed. She couldn’t help but lean closer and kiss him. It was as light as a feather as if she was comforting him.
However, she didn’t know that this little action of hers could easily crush a man’s rationality. Therefore, she was pressed against the desk and kissed all over.
Fortunately, Master Xiao still had a trace of rationality left. He murmured,
“The bed here is small. It’s inconvenient. So, restrain yourself, okay?”
His little sweet wife stopped while she was ahead. She then jumped off the desk and looked at the simulated weapon on the wall.
[So, have you really held a gun before?]
Huo Jiuxiao slowly buttoned up his shirt, his sharp gaze focused on the replica pistol. At this moment, the hormones and danger factors in his body rose sharply.
Then, he walked to the wall, picked up a pistol with one hand, and quickly loaded it.
“When you’re on a mission overseas, not having a gun is equivalent to sending takeout to your opponent.”
Lin Wanli only needed to think to know how dangerous it was. Especially in the past when he didn’t care about his life.
Lin Wanli took the gun from his hand and put it back in its original position. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck.
[Do you know how much I like your body? I suspect that I can’t forget you. It must be because of that night at the hotel. Your figure must have left a deep impression on me. So you have to protect your body for me. Don’t let anyone touch a single strand of your hair.]
It sounded so nice, but in fact, she hoped that he would cherish his life.
“Let’s go home.” Huo Jiuxiao picked her up.
[Why so sudden?]
“I’ll let you touch me as much as you want when we get home.”
Late at night, in Zhou Tingyang’s apartment.
After seeing the luxurious villa today, Zhou Tingyang found his little house to be an eyesore. The living room was only as big as the bathroom. Zhou Tingyang couldn’t wait to live in a mansion worth hundreds of millions.
Xiao Qinke sat beside him after showering. She looked at him and said, “When we were shopping this afternoon, I called my dad and told him about our marriage. He’s planning to fly over on Friday to meet your parents.”
“Friday? Doesn’t that mean that he’s coming in a few days?” Zhou Tingyang suddenly became nervous.
“Don’t be nervous. My dad loves me very much. As long as I like it, he will never object. So, don’t worry. Besides, let me tell you secretly, my dad is more generous than me.”
Xiao Qinke spent 100 million yuan so easily. Perhaps her father would give him company or shares if he was happy. Zhou Tingyang was having such a beautiful dream in his heart.
“Don’t worry, Ke’er. I’ll definitely show my sincerity in marrying you.” Sincerity? What sincerity could the Zhou family show?
He just wanted to use magic tricks to gain something for nothing.
“I know. I’m tired from shopping today. I’m sleepy.” Xiao Qinke patted Zhou Tingyang on the shoulder and said. Then, she yawned and fell asleep, leaving Zhou Tingyang to have a sweet dream.
To be able to create a real dream for others and then crush it with her own hands was also extremely terrifying, right?
These days, the Ye family’s mother and daughter had been making all sorts of preparations for Taixi. Ye Zhenzhen mainly made the preparations. She first learned the art of tea from the manager of the temple, then read all kinds of photography magazines and travel materials from all over the world. She was actually so beautiful outside of her tacky world.
All these years, she had always been scheming and fighting for it. She had never stopped to admire the scenery along the way. Now, looking at the vast and boundless world, she suddenly felt that it was not worth it. After the Lin Group’s matter was completed, she would definitely leave everything behind and go to the greater world to take a good look.
Just as the mother and daughter were reading, the manager of the temple sent someone to inform them that Taixi’s product manager had already checked in early and was currently having dinner in the restaurant.
Ye Zhenzhen put down the travel magazine and said, “Mom, I’ll go over now.”
Ye Weiyin held Ye Zhenzhen’s hand and said seriously, “Remember Lin Wanli’s advice. Be sincere. It’s okay if you don’t know. Be humble.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I am no longer the Ye Zhenzhen of the past.” Ye Zhenzhen then changed into a white silk dress and tied her hair behind her head. She put on a wooden hairpin and went to the temple’s lobby without any makeup.
The other party was a young man in his early thirties. The food was indeed casual. Moreover, while eating, he was arranging work. It seemed that his schedule was very tight.
After Ye Zhenzhen arrived, she observed the man for a few minutes. Then, she said to the manager, “Can you tell him that I’m waiting for him at the tea house? He’s eating. It’s impolite for me to disturb him.”
“Yes, Miss Ye.” The manager walked over and said something to the man.
The man looked up at Ye Zhenzhen and nodded.
“He agreed,” the manager said as he returned to Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded at him to express her gratitude before she went to the tea house to prepare. It was just that she had just come into contact with the art of tea, so she didn’t seem very familiar with it. However, she was very serious at every step. Although she was clumsy, she was still cute.
When the man stood at the entrance of the teahouse with his backpack, he saw a somewhat awkward scene. Ye Zhenzhen looked very intellectual, but her actions were completely different from that of a lady. In the end, her thumb was burned red.
The man quickly walked over and laughed, “Why don’t we let the manager do it? He’s better at it.”
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him apologetically and said, “The manager said that you like drinking tea. I wanted to try it myself. I didn’t expect that you can’t do it overnight. ”
“Miss Ye, I heard from the manager that you’ve been waiting for me for a few days. What’s the matter?”
“I think Taixi’s products are useful. My family also makes skincare products, so I wanted to try and see if we could work together. Of course, Taixi is a big international company. There are many requirements for cooperation, but I still want to give it a try,” Ye Zhenzhen said bluntly.
She had indeed changed her appearance.
That was the first impression Xu Qingru had when she saw Ye Zhenzhen..
