Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Huo Hannian’s nervousness

When she saw the gifts, she didn’t say anything for a long time.

In the end, he left with his granddaughter and grandson-in-law with a bad expression.

Old Mrs. Wen heaved a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.

He held Wen Ruan’s hand and smiled.” I reckon he won’t come to our house again!”

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at the gifts on the coffee table and instructed the butler to put them away.

“Huo, the gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Huo Hannian had always been thick-skinned and courageous, but this was the first time he had met Grandma Wen Ruan, and he still felt a little nervous for some reason.

Old Mrs. Wen was kind and gentle in front of Wen Ruan, but in front of others, she would appear extremely stern and dignified as long as she did not smile, making people feel a little intimidated.

Huo Hannian said in a low voice,” Grandma, I came to visit suddenly and it was quite abrupt. I don’t have many gifts, so I hope you don’t mind.””

Old Mrs. Wen coughed and said,” I’m not your grandma. You can just call me Old Madam!””

Wen Ruan had expected that the old lady would not treat Huo Hannian well, but he did not expect her to be so cold.

Wen Ruan didn’t dare to look at Huo Hannian. She gently tugged at the old lady’s sleeve and whispered,” Grandma, don’t be like this!”

Old Mrs. Wen patted Wen Ruan’s arm and gave her a warning glare.” Grandma knows what to do. Don’t get involved.””

Wen Ruan could only look at Huo Hannian and let him pray for his own good.

Seeing that Huo Hannian was unwilling to leave, the old lady still treated him according to etiquette.

She personally went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Wen Ruan asked Huo Hannian to sit in the living room. She went to the kitchen and looked at the old lady who was busy at the counter. Wen Ruan smiled and said,” Grandma, let me help you!””

Old Mrs. Wen patted Wen Ruan’s hand, which was about to grab the kitchen knife.” The kitchen has a strong smell of oil and smoke. You’ve had some alcohol, go rest on the sofa.””

Wen Ruan hugged Old Mrs. Wen’s arm and shook it coquettishly.” Grandma, don’t make things too difficult for him!”

“Hurry up and get out.”

“Alright, alright, alright.”

After taking a deep breath, Wen Ruan walked towards the living room.

It had been days since she had a proper conversation with Huo Hannian.

She placed her hands behind her back and moved in small steps.

Huo Hannian was sitting in a rare manner. He had taken off his black coat and was wearing a high-collared thin sweater underneath. His broad shoulders and firm chest were perfectly wrapped. His slender legs were closed together, and his hands were on his knees. He looked like a primary school student.

Wen Ruan couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she saw Huo Hannian’s expression.

Huo Hannian raised his head when he heard the laughter. He looked at her with his long and narrow eyes.

Wen Ruan’s heart skipped a beat when she met his eyes that were as deep as the midnight sea.

Her fair little face was slightly hot from his deep and burning gaze.

He took a step back and looked in the direction of the kitchen. Then, he looked at her and patted the spot beside him.

Wen Ruan jogged over and sat beside him.

As soon as she sat down, her soft little hand was firmly wrapped by his big palm.

“I’m sorry, she almost hurt your life. I’ve already sent someone to send her abroad and cut off all ties with her!”

Wen Ruan’s heart trembled when he heard this.

She had expected Huo Hannian to go back and settle scores with Mrs. Huo, but she didn’t expect him to break off his relationship with Mrs. Huo for her!

Wen Ruan lowered her long eyelashes, which were as thick as butterfly wings, to hide the guilt that flashed past her eyes.

Her beautiful lips pursed tightly. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.

Her silence made him feel even more uneasy and guilty.

He did not dare to imagine what he would do if that woman really hurt Wen Ruan’s life.

He stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his embrace.
