Chapter 47 - Cooked Rice (1/2)

Liu Yan narrowed her eyes, patted Zhuang Xinran ‘s hand and said earnestly, “Xin Ran, auntie always hoped that you could marry Yun Qi.”

“Yes.” Zhuang Xinran blushed and nodded embarrassedly. However, she quickly sighed and said, “It’s a pity that Auntie and I are not destined to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.”

“Not necessarily!” Liu Yan smiled and signaled Zhuang Xinran to approach. She whispered a few words into her ear and said meaningfully, “What do you think? Auntie is doing it for your own good!”

Zhuang Xinran ‘s face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and muttered, “Yunqi will be angry …”

Hearing Zhuang Xinran ‘s words, Liu Yan immediately understood what she meant. She hurriedly guaranteed, “Don’t worry, Auntie will handle this matter properly for you. You just need to cooperate with Auntie!”

“Yes, I’ll listen to Auntie.” Zhuang Xinran lowered her head to the point where Liu Yan could not see her, and a successful smile slid across the corner of her mouth.

Huo Yunqi’s independent apartment.

“Do you want to accompany me to the old mansion for dinner?” When Huo Yunqi came out of the study, Xia Luobing was nest on the sofa and saw her long black hair casually scattered on the white robe. Her entire body revealed an indescribable laziness that made people want to hug her in their arms and love her.

Xia Luobing smiled and knocked off Huo Yunqi’s claws. She made a sharp attack gesture and raised her eyebrows, “You want to fight with this captain?”

Huo Yunqi rubbed his nose helplessly and pretended to sigh helplessly, “Ice, be gentle with me.”

Pu!

Xia Luobing was amused by Huo Yunqi’s appearance. He was accidentally taken advantage of this opportunity to fish into his arms. However, he did not resist this time and just found a more comfortable position to lean against.

Ever since the last time they were hospitalized, the two of them had gotten along very well. Xia Luobing discovered that Huo Yunqi was actually not that hateful. Huo Yunqi also discovered that the formerly tough captain of the criminal police had a gentle side.

“Bing Bing, mom called me to go back to the old house for dinner. Do you want to come with me?”

Because Liu Yan had always been very resistant to Xia Luobing, in order to avoid causing more trouble for Huo Yunqi, Xia Luobing had always tried her best to minimize the frequency of appearing in the old mansion. Furthermore, hearing Huo Yunqi’s question, she knew that Liu Yan definitely did not say that she would go over together.

“I’ll wait for you at home.” Xiao Luobing pointed at the book in her hand. “I was just seeing the key point.”

Huo Yunqi placed his chin on Xiao Luobing’s head and gently stroked her. “Then you eat dinner alone, I’ll be back early.” Huo Yunqi took his coat and kissed Xiao Luobing’s lips before leaving reluctantly.

Standing in front of the window and watching Yunqi’s car slowly drive away, Xia Luobing frowned and muttered, “Habits are terrifying!”

However, in just a short month, she had become accustomed to seeing Huo Yunqi every day and eating breakfast and dinner with him.

“We can’t rely on it like this!” Xia Luobing immediately made up her mind and dialed, “Intoxicated, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!”

Huo Yunqi entered the living room and saw that Zhuang Xinran was also there. His expression unconsciously turned a little cold. His attitude was already very obvious. He didn’t expect his mother to still not give up.

“Yunqi, hurry up and come. The dishes today are all prepared happily. They are all dishes that you like!” Liu Yan greeted her son with a smile and sat on her left, opposite Zhuang Xinran .

Zhuang Xinran smiled sweetly at Huo Yunqi, “President Huo.”

Liu Yan looked at Zhuang Xinran reproachfully, “Why did you call him President Huo? Didn’t you always call him by his name?”

Zhuang Xinran lowered her head and didn’t say anything. She only gave Liu Yan an aggrieved side. Liu Yan knew that there must be something she didn’t know. She was about to ask, but when she thought of her plan, she smiled and greeted the two of them, “Let’s eat first!”

“Yun Qi, this soup is made for you by Mom. It’s for nourishing your body.” Liu Yan smiled as she served soup to her son. She sighed helplessly, “Yunxi, that girl has been away from home all day. Mom doesn’t even have a chance to treat you well.”

Huo Yunqi took the soup without saying a word and lowered his head to take a sip.

“Yunxi is no longer a child. There’s nothing wrong with giving her a little freedom.” Huo Yunqi said indifferently.

He was well aware of Huo Yunxi and Ye Shaochen ‘s matters, but now it seemed that it had always been Yun Xi’s wishful thinking. He could not see clearly what Ye Shaochen ‘s thoughts were.

“Yes, yes, mom will listen to you!” Liu Yanfang was happier than usual and nodded repeatedly, “Have you been busy with the company recently? You must be careful not to damage yourself.”

Huo Yunqi nodded, feeling strange in his heart, but he still nodded, “I know.”

In Liu Yan’s concern for food, the meal was quite smooth and Zhuang Xinran said a lot less.

After dinner, the servant finished packing the tableware. Huo Yunqi sat on the sofa and chatted with Liu Yan, feeling a little unwell.

“Yunqi, aren’t you tired lately?” Liu Yan asked with concern. She handed over a cup of tea. “Otherwise, go to the room upstairs to rest for a while.”

Huo Yunqi frowned. Recently, he had been investigating the matter of that person. He really did not rest well. Thinking of Xia Luobing still waiting for him at home, the bathroom put the teacup on the table and stood up. “I’ll go back first!”

“No!” Liu Yan suddenly got excited and grabbed Huo Yunqi’s clothes. She said anxiously, “Yunqi, tired driving is very dangerous! Even if you rest for a while, can you walk?”

Liu Yan’s attitude had always been tough. Huo Yunqi could not refuse to speak to him in such a tone. She nodded and said, “Alright.”

Lying on his bed, he felt dizzy. Soon, he fell asleep and fell into complete darkness.
