Chapter 837: Run Ten Rounds Outside
Knowing that Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen were coming back, Zhang Guoquan specifically had the chefs cook more of their favorite food. Apart from the seats for the two of them, the seats around the large dining table were fully occupied.
“Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress Huo are home. Everyone has…”
Before Zhang Guoquan could finish, Yan Jinyi had already pounced onto Shen Yan in excitement. “Yan Yan, it’s been a while since we met. Why have you become prettier again!?!”
“I look the same as before, but you’ve lost a lot of weight recently.”
Yan Jinyi winked at her sultrily. “Well, since I’m acting as a vixen, I have to stay in shape.”
Huo Xishen suddenly took over. “It’s my fault for being negligent.”
“Although Yan Yi has lost weight, she looks great today. Her complexion is brighter and she’s even more beautiful than before.” Shen Yan couldn’t help but touch Yan Jinyi’s face. “Is there something worth rejoicing over?”
‘Damn, is she that sharp-eyed?’
She was quite brave when talking to Tan Sangsang about it over the phone but she had somehow suddenly become shier when faced with Shen Yan.
“That’s because I saw Shen Yan begin excited this time.” At this point, Yan Jinyi glanced at Huo Chengyu who had been staying silent. “Yan Yan, how are things going with you and that senior of yours?”
“We’re fine. I’d like to incorporate architecture into my fashion designs lately so I’ve been cooperating with Senior Shen.”
“Mr. Shen seems to treat you really well. Are you guys dating?”
As soon as she said that, a bizarre tension filled the air.
Shen Yan said with a faint smile, “It’s good to be friends.”
‘Why is Second Sister-in-law siding with outsiders?’
‘If Sister Yan Yan continues being our big Sister-in-law, we’ll get to see her often. Isn’t that great!?!’
Huo Qingyuan hurriedly took charge of the conversation. “Second Sister-in-law, quickly taste this, Sister… Yan Yan designed this cake herself and commissioned a bakery to bake it. It’s beautiful and delicious.”
The theme of the cake was naturally related to medicine. It was very exquisite and beautiful.
‘Did Yan Yan specially design this for Huo Chengyu?’
Yan Jinyi finally looked at Huo Chengyu and asked, “Yan Yan is here to attend your birthday party on Grandpa’s behalf. Big Brother, aren’t you going to do something?”
Huo Chengyu obediently put his glass of wine down and turned his head to look at Shen Yan with a polite and detached smile. “Thank you, Miss Shen.”
Shen Yan subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt. She slightly nodded her head and said graciously, “I just couldn’t turn Grandpa down.”
They had a strained relationship during their marriage and they grew even more distant after the divorce.
Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but glare at Huo Chengyu who was eating attentively. However, she kept feeling that someone was staring at her.
She subconsciously touched her face and looked up, only to meet Huo Zihang’s eyes.
Having been caught, Huo Zihang hurriedly looked away and turned to the side to face Huo Zihang. “When are you going to bring your boyfriend home?”
“…”
‘You must be sick!’
“Third Brother, you’ve offended Sister Sangsang and also angered Second Sister-in-law. You’d better mind your own business.”
‘Damn it, Huo Qingyuan, why must you rub it in!?!’
Apart from meeting Shen Yan, the other reason Yan Jinyi had come home today, was that she wanted to make peace with Huo Zihang.
No matter what, he was her family member and she had to protect and forgive him.
‘Ah.’
“Huo Zihang.”
Yan Jinyi rarely called him by his full name. Huo Xishen was now seated upright in front of Yan Jinyi respectfully. He nodded at her and said, “Second Sister-in-law, I’m here.”
“Don’t eat, go out and run ten laps.”
What for?
“Today is Big Brother’s birthday, we should not…”
“Should what? You scared someone else’s son to the point of bursting into tears. Yet, you want to happily enjoy a meal and a birthday party here?”
‘It’s not like I did it on purpose.’
Huo Qingyuan persuaded gloatingly, “Third Brother, quickly go. If you don’t run, you’ll get hit ten times with the rod.. Don’t you know Second Sister-in-law well?”
