Shock! I fell for the paranoid Mr. Huo after he misread my thoughts

At night, at Huo’s house.

Jiang Muwan was applying a facial mask and lying on the big bed in the room, chatting with Xu Yinuan about the script and Yan Qing.

It was only today, after Director Hao Gui recommended the WeChat business card to her, that Jiang Muwan learned that the screenwriter of "The Legend of Beauty" was Tangtang's mother.

The two of them already knew each other because of Tangtang. Now, one is the one who writes stories and characters, and the other is the one who understands stories and characters, so naturally they have more fun chatting.

Jiang Muwan was typing when the top of the phone screen lit up. It was a WeChat message from Huo Chenchao.

Huo Chenchao? Wasn't he going to the auction tonight? Why was he sending her a WeChat message at this time?

After quickly replying to Xu Yinuan's message, Jiang Muwan flipped through his phone and switched WeChat to the chat interface with Huo Chenchao.

Huo Chenchao: Come down and pick me up

As always, it was short and without punctuation, which was Mr. Huo’s unique style.

Jiang Muwan: ???

Huo Chenchao: Come down and pick me up

I re-entered it exactly as it was.

Jiang Muwan: "......"

All right! Jiang Muwan took off her facial mask, put on a simple coat, and went downstairs.

As soon as he reached the gate, Huo Chenchao's tall and upright figure came into his sight.

He was wearing a dark suit and leaning slightly sideways on the inky black car body. His every move looked elegant and graceful. Of course, if you ignore the fact that he was holding two fish in one hand and a fish tank with some pink creature in it in the other, you would think he was handsome.

Jiang Muwan was stunned for a moment, "Did you go to the seafood market by yourself?" There were fish and fish tanks. Could it be that he wanted to raise fish?

"I didn't go to the seafood market. I just came back from the auction." Huo Chenchao explained in a calm voice.

??? "Then where did you get your fish?"

Seeing her asking, Huo Chenchao raised the fish in his hand and said, "These two fish were given by the auction organizer. They said they were newly caught."

Will there be fish for free at the auction? Jiang Muwan bent down and looked at the two fish. They were indeed larger than ordinary fish and looked delicious. Hmm! They should be good for making sweet and sour fish.

"Huo Chenchao, are you going to keep these two fish?"

"No, this is for you." He brought it back from far away because he thought she would like it.

If she likes the taste, he might consider long-term cooperation with the fishmonger.

So he was going to raise fish? Then why did he bring back a fish tank?

Jiang Muwan glanced suspiciously at the fish tank in his hand. After looking at it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what that pink thing was.

Seeing that she was still looking at the fish tank in her hand, Huo Chenchao's face was a little awkward. It was the first time for him to give someone a gift, and he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"This is for you too." After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say this.

Was it also for her? So he asked her to come down just to give him the fish and the unknown creatures in the fish tank?

After saying thank you, Jiang Muwan curiously took the fish tank from Huo Chenchao. He could hold it with one big hand, but she had to hold it with her two small hands.

After receiving it in his hand, Jiang Muwan poked his little head out and looked down to see what this pink lump was, and he saw a small head sticking out from the originally small lump, followed by four legs, and finally a small tail.

This, this, this is a little turtle? But how can a turtle have a pink shell?

Looking up at Huo Chenchao, Jiang Muwan blinked her big eyes, which was her habitual little gesture when she had a question. "Is this pink one a little turtle?"

Huo Chen nodded. "Well, I just bought it from the auction. Do you like it?"

Isn't it said that a thousand-year-old turtle lives ten thousand years? It just so happens that this little turtle lives a long time, which meets her criteria for choosing a pet. And it has no hair, so it won't be like Huo Gou'er, which makes the whole house full of hair. He can also be raised with her.

"No, this little pink turtle is quite rare and pretty, but I don't like or eat sweet and sour turtles!"

With the two sweet and sour fish in front of her, Jiang Muwan didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously thought that Huo Chenchao gave her the little turtle for her to eat.

Huo Chenchao: "......"

The little turtle shivered.

"I'm not making you a sweet and sour turtle. I'm making you a little pet."

Oh! It turns out that it is not for her to eat! Jiang Muwan breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that it is for her to be a pet! Wait... a pet?

Knowing what she was thinking, Huo Chenchao continued, "Didn't you say you wanted a small pet like Huo Gou'er to take to City C? You can take it with you."

Jiang Muwan: "..." How is this little turtle the same as Huo Goudan?

"But I can't take this little turtle out for a walk, can I?"

"It's okay. I have a leash specially made for it in my pocket."

"But I've never raised a turtle before?"

"It's okay. I have all the breeding precautions in my pocket."

"But I can't pet the little turtle, right?"

"It's okay. I don't have any in my pocket. But I can make a custom "sweater" for it. You can still stroke it."

Jiang Muwan: "......." Are you Doraemon? What's in your pocket?

However, looking at the little turtle in her arms, Jiang Muwan was completely convinced. It seemed that she had no reason not to keep it now. What's more, this little pet was given to her by Huo Chenchao.

Moreover, the lifespan of a turtle is much longer than that of a cat or a dog. If it is carefully taken care of, it can always accompany her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Muwan hugged the fish tank containing the little turtle tighter in his arms.

Huo Chenchao was carrying the two fish, and she was holding the little turtle, and they walked into the house together while looking at it.

After entering the living room, Huo Chenchao handed the fish to Mrs. Zhang, then squatted down with Jiang Muwan to look at the little turtle in the fish tank.

Jiang Muwan looked at the little turtle all the way, and not only did she like it, but she liked it more and more.

But "Huo Chenchao, why is this little turtle pink?" It was because of the pink shell that she didn't recognize it as a turtle at first.

"It seems to be a new species artificially bred. There are less than ten of them in the whole of China. Don't you like pink the best?" It was just because of this turtle that he went to this not-so-formal small auction tonight.

"Then it should be very expensive, right?" Jiang Muwan originally wanted to lift the little turtle with one hand, but when he heard that there were less than ten in the country, he changed his action to holding it with both hands.

"Luckily, I was able to buy it for 40 million."

How much? Jiang Muwan couldn't believe her ears. She became more cautious in holding the little pink turtle.

"Only 40 million," Huo Chenchao repeated.

"Oh my god! This little pet is really more valuable than me, its master!" Thinking back to when she first came through the book, the kidnappers only asked Huo Chenchao for 20 million after they kidnapped her!

"How could that be? It's only 40 million, and you are priceless." Huo Chenchao looked at her little appearance and blurted out the truth from his heart.

This person! His words made Jiang Muwan blush.

She moved her hands and wanted to put the little turtle back, but when she looked down, she found that her hands were also stained with some pink.

Hmm? Can the color of this tortoise shell still fade?

After taking a look, Jiang Muwan rubbed the turtle shell gently a few times, only to find that the pink color on her hands became deeper. Then she discovered that the turtle shell on the back of the little turtle also faintly revealed a few light green colors.

Jiang Muwan: "......"

"Huo Chenchao, I feel like you've been deceived this time!"
