Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

In the past two days, Xia Xinyi has joined the Star Foundation and started learning how to do things from scratch.

She was afraid that she was under too much pressure, so she made a few subtle suggestions.

Xia Xinyi stood there blankly, unable to believe what she heard.

Ms. Ruan just said, who was the one who gave the noodles?

Is that Mr. Huo?

how can that be!

In Xia Xinyi's limited knowledge, no man she had ever met was willing to cook for a woman.

In her hometown, a man who cooks would be ridiculed and considered a sign of cowardice and incompetence.

When she came to H City and lived with Li Wenzhou in the slums, she saw that those poor and incompetent men would just lie on the bed and act like masters after returning home.

It seems that the kitchen is a place that is inherently labeled as female.

She also subconsciously agreed that cooking, cleaning and other housework are women's responsibilities.

but--

Huo Yan is the most perfect and capable man she has ever met in her life.

He is handsome and noble, rich and young, with outstanding abilities, and is an unreachable god.

How could a man like this cook?

He should be out there working hard and making a name for himself instead of being trapped in the kitchen, serving a woman.

Who can force him?

He is so powerful that he can do whatever he wants.

Could it be that all the other men she came into contact with were wrong?

Xia Xinyi's face was blank as her inherent ideas were challenged. She seemed to faintly hear Ruan Xingchen's questions, but they seemed so far away that she couldn't hear them clearly.

"Xinyi? Why aren't you talking?"

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but frown, raised her voice slightly, and looked at her with concern: "Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's not."

Xia Xinyi shook her head subconsciously, her knuckles turning white.

She lowered her head, looking at the pattern on her house shoes, and whispered dryly, "I might have woken up in the middle of the night and am a little tired."

As he spoke, he raised his head and forced a pale smile.

Ruan Xingchen did not doubt her statement.

Was it a nightmare?

Thinking of the past revealed in her few words and Li Wenzhou's madness, a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Also.

After all, Xia Xinyi is just a girl in her early twenties. She grew up in a secluded mountain village. Although her family favors boys over girls, she is still protected by her parents.

Unlike her, who had died once, she had seen all kinds of storms and had fought many times since she was a child, so she didn't take what happened before to heart.

For Xia Xinyi, she was first almost sold to someone else by her boyfriend, and then a group of vicious people came to her house.

It was difficult enough to calm down quickly and make sober choices, so it was no surprise that she had nightmares at night.

No wonder I always go downstairs to drink water in the middle of the night.

"The past is in the past, you have to look forward."

Ruan Xingchen softened his tone and smiled, "Since you're awake, would you like to have a bowl of noodles? Mr. Huo cooked a lot, and there's still some left in the pot. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."

Nothing soothes the soul better than good food.

Since Xia Xinyi was awakened by a nightmare, she might as well fill her stomach with warm food. Perhaps her heart would also feel a sense of peace and satisfaction.

Xia Xinyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her eyelashes trembled: "I, can I? I..."

Can she eat noodles made by Huo Yan himself?

Can she really?

Even though she was just eating the leftover noodles, her heart was still beating inexplicably, and her heart was beating as if it was about to jump out, making it difficult for her to speak.

I was afraid that if I agreed too quickly, it would seem too impatient.

I am also afraid that if I show my joy on my face, others will see through my dirty desires.

I am even more afraid that this is just an illusion, a daydream, and wishful thinking.

"Of course..." Ruan Xingchen laughed, and stuttered nervously when she thought about facing Huo Yan. She was about to stand up and pull her over.

"lady."

At this moment, a warm big hand pinched her wrist, stopping her movements.

Dark eyes looked over, and Huo Yan said calmly: "I'm not a good cook, so I don't mind it being ugly. Miss Xia can prepare whatever she wants... I'm a little hungry, so leave that bowl of noodles for me."

You clearly said you didn’t want to eat just now.

Ruan Xingchen raised his brows slightly and looked at him.

Without saying anything, she smiled apologetically: "I see there are some wontons prepared by Sister Chen in the refrigerator. Xinyi, would you like some?"

Xia Xinyi's face turned even paler. She lowered her head and bit her lips hard.

It’s hard to tell whether I feel more disappointed or some other emotion.

Her eyes were full of complexities. She clutched the wall of the cup tightly and shook her head after a while: "No, no thanks. I'm not hungry."

She laughed to herself.

How could a piece of mud like her dare to dream of interacting with the clouds?

Toad wants to eat.

How does she deserve it?

"I, I feel even sleepier now."

Her face was pale as snow. She turned around and hurried upstairs, saying, "Ms. Ruan, Mr. Huo, take your time and get some rest. I'm going to bed first."

The hem of her pajamas rose in a slight arc, and she hurried upstairs and closed the door in one go.

Ruan Xingchen looked at the empty staircase in surprise, pursed her lips and said, "Xinyi seems... hasn't poured the water yet?"

"Maybe sleepiness overcame thirst."

Huo Yan responded nonchalantly, looking completely unconcerned.

He stood up and brought the remaining noodles over. Seeing her thoughtful expression, he tapped his fingertips lightly on the table: "Madam, am I not enough to keep you focused?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and dark emotions surged.

He really hated having others take her attention away.

She finally had this kind of alone time, but she still had to have irrelevant people to distract her.

He hoped that she would look at him, always look at him, with him all in her head, eyes and heart, and not give even a little bit to anyone else.

A strong possessive desire churns in my chest.

He hoped that those clear eyes, with distinct black and white, would always look at him.

"I just feel like there's something wrong with Xinyi."

Sensing his displeasure, Ruan Xingchen gave him a flattering smile: "She's sensitive and thoughtful, and she's used to keeping everything to herself. I'm afraid she'll get stuck in a rut."

I finally became much more cheerful after joining the Star Foundation.

Why does it seem like you have other thoughts now?

"She's an adult and can take charge of her own life."

Huo Yan's eyes turned cold as he said indifferently, "Madam has already helped her a lot. Do you really have to help her walk with your own hands?"

He suddenly stood up from the table, his tall figure looming over her.

The big hand was gentle yet domineering, lifting her chin with unquestionable strength.

His cold eyes were filled with restraint, and he said in a deep voice: "Instead of wasting your time caring about others, Madam, you should pay more attention to me."
