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

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned red and sweat broke out on her forehead.

I wish I could turn back time so I can swallow what I just said.

How could she be so stupid when she couldn't even speak properly?

Would he think she was ridiculous?

Standing in front of him, she looked like a joke, so humble that she felt like she was about to sink into the dirt.

But the more anxious he was, the worse his performance became, and he couldn't even speak a coherent sentence.

Xia Xinyi secretly pinched her leg flesh, exerting great force without showing any mercy.

It seemed that only through this piercing pain could she gain the courage to continue standing here and not run away.

Her eyes were moist, and she forced herself to finish her words: "It's my turn to rest today, I came to see grandma."

Her whole body was tense, and she used almost all her concentration to keep herself from looking ugly.

She didn't notice that her grandmother, who was smiling happily because of her arrival, now had a complicated look in her eyes.

"Xinyi came over and bought gifts with her own salary."

Whether it was an explanation or something else, grandma said, "I think this child is too polite. I'm very happy to come to see me. Why would you spend money?"

"That's my intention..."

Xia Xinyi's cheeks turned even redder and she clenched her fingers awkwardly.

Mingming was fine when he came, and she bought gifts within her means, simply to express her gratitude.

I don't dare to have any extravagant hopes.

But now, standing here, facing Ruan Xingchen and Huo Yan, she suddenly felt that she was really ridiculous.

The Huo family is so rich, would they think that the gift she carefully selected is like a pile of junk?

She shouldn't have come.

What's the point of coming here other than making yourself feel ashamed?

She stood in the sun awkwardly, feeling that her dirty thoughts were also exposed to the sun, making her almost dehydrated.

"That's Xinyi's gift. As long as grandma accepts it, she will feel happy."

Ruan Xingchen smiled and responded, then stepped forward to support her grandmother. "Mr. Huo, Qianqian, and the others brought back a lot of food. We've already sent it to the kitchen for Sister Chen to prepare. Grandma, you can try some of this food we brought back with our own hands."

She helped her grandmother into the house first, and Huo Yan followed behind her, bending down to pick up the tools that her grandmother had dropped from the ground.

His fingers were distinctly knuckled, and his palms were strong and white. You could tell at a glance that they were men's hands, yet they were incredibly handsome.

Holding the small shovel seemed a bit out of place.

These hands can hold a gun, a pen, type on a keyboard, and do anything that shows charm.

The only thing you shouldn't do is pick up a muddy shovel and get a layer of dirt on it.

Xia Xinyi felt as if her heart had been burned. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the small shovel, saying nervously, "I, I, I'll do it. Okay."

Huo Yan straightened up, remained silent, and glanced at her indifferently.

There was no emotion in this look, his dark eyes were deep and profound, as if he could see directly into a person's heart.

Xia Xinyi, who was already panicking, became even more at a loss, as if she had done something wrong. She lowered her head and dared not say a word.

"Miss Xia."

Huo Yan retracted his gaze and said in a cold voice, "People shouldn't covet things that don't belong to them, otherwise they will develop unnecessary emotions. Am I right?"

He said it casually, not caring about her reaction.

After saying that, he walked away without a speck of dirt on his body and without any regrets.

It seemed like he didn't care what she thought or did.

He cared even less about her feelings.

Xia Xinyi clenched the small shovel in her hand, her knuckles turning white from exerting too much force. She bit her lower lip in embarrassment, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Clear tears fell into the soil, creating a damp dark color.

She felt like there was a big hole in her heart, a little cold, and more of a pain of self-pity.

Had he seen it a long time ago?

You can see her extravagant expectations and her overestimation of her own abilities.

The toad actually dared to approach the swan, like a clown who didn't know his own status.

it is ridiculous.

It's simply laughable.

Xia Xinyi sniffed, feeling a little overwhelmed.

But why couldn't she? Why didn't she recognize her place?

Didn’t Ms. Ruan also come from the slums and grew up in the mud?

Since background is not important, why can't it be her?

In the living room, Ruan Xingchen looked up and saw Huo Yan coming in empty-handed. She asked curiously, "Where's Xinyi?"

"I don't know."

Huo Yan responded noncommittally, sat down next to her, and asked, "What is Madam doing?"

"Is the bracelet my grandma made for me pretty?"

Ruan Xingchen stretched out her hand, her eyes curved with a smile, and she shook her snow-white wrist a little ostentatiously.

A thin red rope was tied around her slender wrist, and the fine auspicious cloud patterns woven into it were faintly visible.

Her skin, which was already as white as snow and jade, became even more radiant against the backdrop of the red rope. The intense collision of colors highlighted her breathtaking beauty.

It has a bit more of the nobility and remoteness of luxury.

There is also a small golden ruyi tied to the red rope, which means "everything goes well".

My grandmother has very skillful hands, and this bracelet would look perfectly in place even in a luxury store.

Ruan Xingchen was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile, "The results are coming out soon. Grandma specially compiled this for me to bring good luck."

Her cheeks were flushed and her face was full of undisguised happiness.

At this moment, she was like a little girl who was doted on by her parents. She wanted to show off but was too embarrassed to do so, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

"It looks very nice, especially suits the lady."

After carefully examining it for a few times, Huo Yan nodded and suddenly said, "Grandma, since Nannan has it, doesn't Chenchen have it?"

"Mr. Huo!"

Ruan Xingchen screamed in disbelief, staring at him with wide eyes: "My grandma gave it to me because my postgraduate entrance exam results were about to come out. Are you going to take the exam too?"

Why is this person still competing with her for favor?

cheeky.

This is her grandmother!

Why are you trying to steal grandma's affection from others for no reason?

A smile flashed across Huo Yan's eyes, but his face remained calm and matter-of-fact. He said, "I talk about business all day long, so of course I hope everything goes well."

"Isn't the Madam willing to let go?"

His dark eyes fell on her face, and his voice became a little softer. He said, "It is said that the matchmaker ties the red thread. You can't tie me and my wife together with the red thread. It is also okay to wear a bracelet made of the same red thread."

Ruan Xingchen's cheeks suddenly burned hot, and she didn't care about being jealous. She glared at him and said, "Grandma is still here, what nonsense are you talking about."

This person seems cold and distant on the surface, but why does he speak so much sweet words so easily?

In front of her grandmother, even though she was always calm, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
