Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

The subordinates stood respectfully to the side, heads bowed, wishing they could be invisible.

Huo Buyan's furrowed brows relaxed, revealing a cold, ruthless smile, his voice carrying the chill of the dead of winter.

"Find out what else he did and invite him to 'Red Shark' as a guest."

"Yes." After receiving the task, half of the subordinates left, while the other half stayed behind to await orders.

"Red Shark" is a transport vessel under the Hoogewerf Group that crosses the high seas and occasionally plays other roles.

The person who received the task strode away and immediately began making contacts and inquiries.

Huo Buyan had calmed down and calmly instructed, "Take some men and help Shen Er clean up the mess. I won't be going back for now."

The remaining half of the people also left without any objection.

As for Shen Er, who might be working himself to the bone... his subordinates said that his physique has been proven, and he can easily last ten days or half a month.

"Meow?" A small black cat was curled up in the corner of the sofa. After the person left, it tentatively meowed at Huo Buyan.

As the spouse of the pet owner, I should at least show some concern.

Just moments ago, he wished he could shrink into the cracks of the sofa, but now he crawled out and cautiously circled around Huo Buyan.

This human looks fierce, and the cat is arching its back, now it really wants its human to throw it out.

Upon seeing the cat, Huo Buyan composed himself to avoid provoking the cat.

He wouldn't pass on his bad mood to a small animal, especially since he loves the cat so much that if the kitten is afraid of him, Xiaoxue might take her anger out on him later.

Huo Buyan got up and opened a can of cat food for the cat.

The living room's floor-to-ceiling windows face a lake, neon lights flashing on the glass, stars twinkling in the deep blue sky, and a crescent moon hidden behind a few clouds.

The loud bangs of the fireworks made the cat, who was eating cat food, twitch its ears, glance outside, and then bury itself back into the food can.

After saying goodbye to Xie Yunxiao, Wu Tongxue entered the residential area and heard the sound of fireworks exploding. She could see them when she looked up.

Stepping into the glow of fireworks, I arrived downstairs, went inside, and pressed the button for my floor.

I had a strange feeling, but before I could figure out what it was, I saw an extra pair of leather shoes in the entryway when I entered the house.

Wu Tongxue paused in her steps.

Looks familiar.

...Luckily, they didn't agree to let Xie Yunxiao come up.

Wu Tongxue felt a little guilty.

"You're back." The black-clad figure in the living room turned around; it was Huo Buyan.

A small black ball sprinted over and pupated at Wu Tongxue's feet.

"Tuantuan." Wu Tongxue scooped up the cat clinging to his feet and looked towards the living room in surprise. "Huh? Weren't you busy out these past few days?"

He glanced around and noticed that the dolls in the room had been moved.

Hmm, so it's been discovered?

Huo Buyan: "Have you finished a section of work? Have you had dinner yet?"

Wu Tongxue looked away from the computer that had just closed on his lap, and sat down next to him with Tuantuan in her arms to pet the cat.

"I've already eaten." Feeling a bit tired, Wu Tongxue leaned against Huo Buyan and lifted up the cat: "Tuantuan is too heavy."

He then turned to Huo Buyan and asked, "When did you arrive today? Have you eaten yet?"

"We found the camera as soon as we arrived, and then we dealt with it. We didn't have any appetite." Huo Buyan shook his head, "We arrived in the evening and haven't had time to eat yet."

Huo Buyan chose to keep the camera issue a secret for the time being, since it wasn't a good thing anyway, and he didn't want to scare people.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongxue placed the cat on Huo Buyan's lap and said, "You play with Tuantuan for a while."

"I remember there are noodles in the kitchen, I'll go cook them for you."

Wu Tongxue hadn't been in the kitchen much, but on a whim, she decided to cook noodles since it wasn't difficult anyway.

Huo Buyan looked down at the equally bewildered cat lying on his lap, and the two exchanged glances.

Before Huo Buyan could put the cat down, Tuantuan rolled onto the sofa, shook her head, and nimbly jumped off to climb the cat tree.

Huo Buyan watched Wu Tongxue's retreating figure as she entered the kitchen, a faint sense of worry rising in his heart.

Is this noodle... edible?

Tuan Tuan was entertaining herself and clearly didn't need his company, so Huo Buyan went to the kitchen.

He rolled up his sleeves and folded them neatly, revealing his strong forearms.

“Tuantuan went to play by herself, I’ll come and help.”

My gaze swept across the stage, and thankfully, I didn't see any strange seasonings that shouldn't be there.

"Then crack three eggs, I'll give you two, and I'll take one." Wu Tongxue held up one finger to indicate the egg color, then turned to get the noodles.

Once inside the kitchen, I suddenly felt a bit hungry again; I could still fit an egg in my stomach.

As the water boils, steam rises, casting a warm glow under the yellow light.

Soon, a bowl of delicious tomato and egg noodles appeared on the table. Wu Tongxue shared a small bowl of noodles with Huo Buyan, with a fresh egg on top.

In the end, the two of them sat down at the table together.

"Delicious." Wu Tongxue was surprised to find that she had a talent for cooking noodles; the broth was sweet and sour, which was very appetizing.

"Ding-"

Mobile phone notification.

Wu Tongxue picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from an unknown number.

The night was damp, the ground was damp, the air was still, and the woods were silent.

Wu Tongxue looked at it twice on her phone.

What do you mean?

The weather today is bad?

If you don't understand, just leave it aside.

After finishing their meal, Huo Buyan went over to play with Tuantuan, while Huo Buyan finished cleaning up in the kitchen.

They put on a cartoon that Tuantuan liked, and Wu Tongxue curled up on the sofa playing games. Huo Buyan came over, sat down, and pulled him into his arms.

The audience was constantly pushing the mission forward, and although it was slow, it was still progressing. Wu Tongxue decided to temporarily let go of the people around her and not bother them anymore.

Where did you go today?

"I went out with my colleagues and ate a lot today. Luckily, I haven't been working lately."

Wu Tongxue is not prone to weight gain, but he can eat a lot, and eating too much will inevitably increase his weight.

If he has work to do, Yang Xiao will supervise his three meals a day.

Huo Buyan placed his hand on his and shook it, "You haven't gained weight."

"Of course, I get enough exercise."

Huo Buyan didn't move his hand, which remained lazily resting on his waist. "You've lost weight, you should eat more."

It didn't itch, so Wu Tongxue let him lean on her.

Holding her phone, she said without stopping, "Really? Then I can eat more lately, but don't call me when you're working out these next few days, let me rest for a few days first."

Take a few days off and be lazy.

Huo Buyan said he'd lost weight and needed to lie down and grow back before exercising.

Huo Buyan naturally responded without hesitation. Little Xue, who was a bit plumper... should be softer and easier to hold.

Wu Tongxue played the game while chatting with him.

Suddenly, I remembered someone. "By the way, do you know Hu Zhen?"

Huo Buyan thought for a moment, "A junior from a family with a long-standing relationship, we've met a few times, what's wrong with that?"

“I ran into you when I visited your grave before, and I thought you two were very close.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Buyan's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.

Wu Tongxue shifted his body, and Huo Buyan adjusted him to a more comfortable position so that he could lean against Huo Buyan's chest.
