Xie Junfei has always suspected that Huo Shen has the ability to read minds.

Otherwise, why would she have dreamed about delicious food while she was in the car?

Immediately afterwards, Huo Shen ordered the dishes one by one at Lishui Restaurant.

She looked suspiciously at the man in front of her who was drinking tea with his eyes down.

“I remember the Huo family also had involvement in the high-tech industry.”

"Could the Huo family have already developed some technology to read brainwaves?"

Hearing her say that, Huo Shen raised an eyebrow and looked at her:

Are you still half asleep?

"If it means that the food I ordered suits your taste, then it's not mind reading."

"You were reciting the names of dishes the whole way in the car. If I pretended not to know, I would be so unromantic."

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei immediately realized what he meant and then subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.

A smile appeared in Huo Shen's eyes as he picked up some food for her.

"Don't worry, you're a good sleeping posture, you didn't drool."

Xie Junfei felt a little embarrassed that her inner thoughts had been guessed again, so she immediately lowered her head to eat and pretended not to know.

We finished eating, and it was still early.

A renowned musician has arrived at the club tonight and is currently preparing at the lakeside pavilion.

The manager said that the musician's rendition of "Three Variations on Plum Blossom" was stunning and superb, and that he was also quite arrogant.

Moreover, the musician had come all this way, so he came specifically to inform Huo Shen.

The servants had already set up all the necessary facilities by the lake, making it convenient for the master to bring people to listen to music across the lake.

Huo Shen saw that the little girl had just finished catching up on her sleep but was so energetic she could probably tear the house apart.

My gut feeling is that if we send her back now, the girl will definitely have to stay up all night again.

It would be better to go listen to the piano, lull the person to sleep, and then send them back.

Xie Junfei happened to be curious about the musician with the enormous frame.

And so, led by the manager, the two sat down on chairs by the lake.

The guzheng pleases others with its loud sound, while the guqin pleases the individual with its soft sound.

Moreover, with half a lake separating them, by the time the music reached them, it was almost impossible to hear clearly.

Seeing that Xie Junfei seemed somewhat interested, Huo Shen simply sat closer to her and casually inquired about the events of the day:

"So when you asked me for a doctor, you knew the Qin family wanted to drug you?"

Xie Junfei took a bite of the osmanthus cake in her hand, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster.

Hearing his question, she mumbled a reply:

"How can it be."

"I asked you for a doctor because Qin Yu'er signed me up for three long-distance running events all by myself."

"My original intention was to pretend to faint on the track, then have your doctor give me an exaggerated diagnosis, and then trick Qin Yu'er."

"Just think about it, the students sponsored by the powerful and influential Young Master Huo are being bullied right under his nose. This is an absolute disgrace to the Huo family!"

"Then when you get angry, Qin Yu'er will be in trouble."

"I've used the tactic of using someone else to do my dirty work many times in the Qin family."

After saying that, Xie Junfei shrugged:

"Who knew Qin Yu'er was such a fool, actually coming up with such a stupid idea as drugging herself, stepping on her own foot and sending herself directly to the ICU for emergency treatment."

The sound of the zither gradually changed from its original aloofness to a gentle melody.

Huo Shen smiled as he heard her candor:

"So you're being so honest with me, telling me you're using me, aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"

Xie Junfei finally managed to swallow the pastry that was choking her, and looked at Huo Shen with a beaming smile:

"I was thinking that I wouldn't tell you unless you asked, and that you'd be surprised when you did."

"But now that you know the general outline of the matter, I can only be honest with you."

Looking at the girl in front of him, who seemed fearless and shameless, Huo Shen shook his head helplessly:

"You..."

Seeing the man in front of her gradually give in, Xie Junfei knew that he wasn't angry at all, but rather had become interested.

She moved a stool close to Huo Shen, leaned in beside him, and poked her head out, her eyes full of mischief:

"Now it's my turn to ask, Uncle Huo, will you be angry if I use you like this?"

Huo Shen looked at the girl in front of him, who seemed to know the answer but was actually asking one, and reached out to flick her nose, saying helplessly:

"Asking knowingly."

Xie Junfei wasn't stupid. Judging from Huo Shen's expression, she had roughly determined Huo Shen's bottom line regarding her.

It seems like they have no bottom line.

She immediately leaned over and hugged Huo Shen's arm, her voice flattering:

"Then I will never lie to Uncle Huo again."

Huo Shen glanced down at her, indicating that he doubted the veracity of her statement.

Xie Junfei pretended not to see it and happily continued to use her fox paws to ruin the exquisitely arranged snacks on the table, eating with great joy.

The melodious and delicate piano music stopped.

Huo Shen watched her eat happily, reached out and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, his voice deep and pleasant:

"Junfei".

The little girl, who was eating, stopped what she was doing and looked at him with wide eyes, asking what he wanted to do.

He sighed softly:

"Just tell me what you want next time."

"Now that I've chosen you, you're mine."

"As long as you promise to be loyal to me, there are no secrets between us that cannot be told."

Seeing Xie Junfei's bewildered expression, Huo Shen gently exhaled and ruffled the girl's soft hair:

"You're too young to understand what I'm saying."

"Just remember, if anyone bullies you outside, come to Uncle Huo, and Uncle Huo will help you."

After Huo Shen finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow at the girl's still dazed expression:

"What's wrong? Did you get dizzy from eating too many pastries?"

Hearing him say that, Xie Junfei pushed him away:

"What?! I'm not dizzy from eating too much!"

"I mean, look behind you, Uncle Huo. Do you usually live such a luxurious and dissolute life?"

A label of "misconduct" fell from the sky and landed on Huo Shen, who hadn't had a single female mosquito in his life for over twenty years.

He turned his head with a puzzled look, and glanced at the person's appalling attire.

The next second, he immediately covered the eyes of the little girl next to him with his big hand.

Xie Junfei angrily tried to pry Huo Shen's hand away, squeaking:

"I'm eighteen years old! I'm an adult! Why are you manually blurring my face!"

Watching the two flirting and teasing each other.

The scantily clad musician walked barefoot from the pavilion in the middle of the lake to Huo Shen:

"......"
