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

"This isn't the double-petaled, white-crowned lotus tripod you're looking for." Huo Chenglin, who had been silent the entire time, raised his head and chuckled sarcastically, "This is an ordinary orchid my sister-in-law raised because she saw Fourth Sister was interested in orchid cultivation and wanted her to practice."

"You're so stupid that you can't even tell what an orchid looks like. How can you be so confident as to cause trouble for my sister-in-law?"

Looking at the various flowers scattered all over the ground, which vaguely resembled orchids, Huo Chenglin laughed heartily: "I am the fool who longs for the motherly love of a stupid and vicious woman like you."

This farce was almost over. Huo Chenglin lost his patience and said in a deep voice, "Take Ms. Ye away."

Soon, bodyguards came forward and took away Ye Tongtong, who was crying and screaming.

Glancing regretfully at the messy greenhouse, Ruan Xingchen raised his hand to Old Man Gu and said, "Your Suguan Lotus Cauldron is in the small greenhouse next door... Since we're already here, why not go take a look together?"

After the thrilling experience just now, the old men no longer cared about the moment when the flowers bloomed, and nodded to visit their precious orchids.

The greenhouse became quiet again.

Huo Chenglin knelt among the broken limbs and arms of flowers all over the ground, like a sculpture, and did not move for a long time.

With the experience from the previous life, this double-petaled white-crowned lotus was cultivated very well, and Mr. Gu was satisfied and proud.

These old men were invited because they all loved orchids. After seeing Ruan Xingchen's strength, they became more friendly to her. Before leaving, they left their contact information and repeatedly asked her to keep in touch.

After seeing everyone off, Ruan Xingchen looked at Huo Yan, who was sitting in a wheelchair. His clear eyes swept over his legs, and he smiled, "Mr. Huo, is the wheelchair comfortable?"

Mr. Huo, who remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing before him, suddenly stiffened and twitched his lips: "Madam..."

"If it weren't for Mr. Gu's visit, I wouldn't have known that Mr. Huo had recovered to this point." Ruan Xingchen raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Huo did such a good job of keeping secrets. If he had been born a few decades earlier, I wonder how much he would have contributed to the country."

"Madam, please listen to my explanation." Huo Yan was helpless, as he was ultimately in the wrong.

He reached out and held her hand, saying, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I wanted to give you a surprise."

I was surprised, but happy...

Ruan Xingchen had a slight smile on his lips, but he didn't say what his attitude was. He glanced at him and said, "Now that Mr. Huo can move freely, my investment should also have a result."

Ever since her last visit to the foreign trade company, Aunt Huo has been asking her about her decision every now and then.

After repeated delays, Cheng Yuan, who was originally confident of victory, could not help but show a bit of anxiety, and indirectly asked Han Xiuqi to have several meals with him.

They were the ones who had intercepted Aunt Huo's goods. After leaving them hanging for so long, it was time to close the loop.

Huo Yan took her hand, gently kissed the back of her hand, and smiled: "I will follow the madam's arrangements."

"We'll settle Mr. Huo's account later." Ruan Xingchen withdrew his hand.

Huo Yan felt a little empty in his heart.

At this moment, her soft fingertips touched his lips, and she subconsciously opened her mouth, and a lychee-flavored hard candy was stuffed into her mouth.

He raised his eyes and met her smiling gaze.

"This is a reward."

She turned and left, her back graceful and elegant, her steps like a lotus.

The tip of his tongue touched the hard candy, and the sweet taste spread. Huo Yan paused, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly hooked.

Huo Qianqian found an opportunity during the day to apologize to Mr. Gu in person again. Not only was she forgiven, but she was also praised a few times. She felt a rare sense of relief today.

The entire Huo family was immersed in relaxation, except for Huo Chenglin who had not slept all night.

He tossed and turned, regret and guilt tearing at his heart, making him want to beat himself up for being so confused.

It was already dawn, and he hesitated for a long time before finally opening the door and walking out.

Huo Yan and Ruan Xingchen sat at the dining table with their younger siblings. Since he hadn't arrived yet, no one else was eating first.

Noticing this scene, Huo Chenglin's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He opened his mouth but no sound came out.

He cleared his throat and whispered, "Sister-in-law."

He lowered his head, not daring to look at her expression.

Seeing him look like a guilty quail, Ruan Xingchen sighed inwardly and replied, "Let's eat."

"Okay." Huo Chenglin nodded obediently, sat down in his own seat, and greeted his brothers and sisters in turn.

Everyone's attitude was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but the huge rock in his heart seemed to have become several times heavier, making it impossible for him to lift his head.

Huo Chenglin felt extremely uncomfortable. The veins on the back of his hand holding the chopsticks were bulging, and his mouth was filled with unspeakable bitterness.

"Sister-in-law..." He spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes as red as a rabbit.

So fragile that it seems like it will collapse at any moment.

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, and looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

"I..." Huo Chenglin's lips trembled, and after a while he asked softly: "Sister-in-law, can I still drink milk every day in the future?"

His nervous gaze fell on her face, as if handing the power of judgment into her hands.

One thought is life, the other thought is death.

"Drink it." Ruan Xingchen lowered his eyes, picked up a plump white steamed dumpling, and said lightly: "Before I came of age, I had to drink it on time every morning and evening. What? Are you tired of it?"

"no!"

Huo Chenglin answered quickly and urgently, as if he was afraid of being a second late.

He couldn't help but grin, laughing like a fool, tears streaming down his face, unable to stop: "I, I will never get tired of drinking."

He wiped his eyes vigorously, his voice choked: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Silly child." Ruan Xingchen finally sighed and handed over a tissue: "Eat well, and I'll ask Sister Chen to bring you some milk later."

"Yeah!" Huo Chenglin nodded vigorously.

This boy, who was always well-behaved and sensible, sometimes depressed and withdrawn, and smart and precocious, smiled so foolishly and brightly for the first time, and buried his head in eating.

Huo Qianqian and Huo Xiaoning couldn't help but smile at each other and picked up some food for him.

During this period, Huo Yan spent more and more time on rehabilitation, and the weather was getting colder.

It was the end of summer when Ruan Xingchen married into the Huo family, but now winter is coming.

The day before the winter solstice, Aunt Huo, who had lost her patience, finally couldn't help but send another invitation.

Invite Ruan Xingchen to attend the afternoon tea with the ladies' circle.

In name, it was just an afternoon tea gathering for the ladies, but the real purpose was for Aunt Huo to act as a matchmaker and find various investment projects for the ladies.

Many people who lack funds but have ideas will come here with their project plans and seek investment.

Ruan Xingchen did not refuse this time and arrived at the agreed location for afternoon tea on the date as scheduled.
