"He disagrees."
On the way back, Ding Yinan was sitting in the passenger seat, playing with the design trophy in his hand with a calm expression.
"And then?" Huo Zhixiao looked at the front of the road, not too surprised.
"There is no more." Ding Yinan put down the trophy, looked at Huo Zhixiao and said, "I just disagree."
Anyone who has raised a dog should know that dog training is a technical job. You have taught it countless times that it is not allowed to go to bed or steal the dinner table, but some dogs are just disobedient, and they cannot be taught no matter what.
Later, you gradually relaxed the discipline, occasionally allowing it to go to bed once, and occasionally feeding it a bone during meals, but since then, you have already had a premonition in your heart that the dog can no longer control it.
Huo Xun should have such a mentality, he knew that he couldn't control Huo Zhixiao anymore.
Once a person relaxes, it is extremely difficult to tighten up again. Huo Xun has always adopted a high-pressure attitude towards Huo Zhixiao, the effect is not only bad, but also makes the relationship between father and son tense. Later, Huo Xun simply changed to stocking, and only let Ding Yinan play the role of shepherd. As a result, Huo Zhixiao's design returned to the previous level, and the relationship between father and son also eased.
People tend to do easy things, and Huo Xun is no exception. Ding Yinan could see that Huo Xun had accepted Huo Zhixiao's self-reliance, and even had an encouraging attitude towards it, but he probably didn't expect—
His own sheep were kidnapped by the shepherd.
Huo Xun would know how difficult it would be to switch to captive breeding when both parties are adapted to the breeding. Not to mention that without Ding Yinan, he couldn't communicate with Huo Zhixiao at all.
"Anyway, I won't agree." Huo Xun put out the cigarette in his hand on the trash can, and said to Ding Yinan, "It's not normal for you to do this."
Hearing the expected answer, Ding Yinan calmed down instead, and asked, "Mr. Huo, what scene haven't you seen?"
Huo Xun was choked, and the words "careless" were written all over his face.
Ding Yinan continued: "You know what kind of temperament Huo Zhixiao is, so why not let you and him relax?"
"I said, I won't agree." Huo Xunying didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he said "You won't get my blessing" to Ding Yinan, and then returned to the banquet hall.
"Shall I persuade him?"
Back to the present, Huo Zhixiao stopped the car in front of a red light, looked at Ding Yinan and asked.
"Are you trying to persuade him?" Ding Yinan thought it was funny, "It's fine if you don't get angry with him."
"Then what should we do?" Huo Zhixiao said, "He is a stubborn old man, not so easy to talk to."
"No." Ding Yinan shook his head and said, "You didn't realize that he has actually compromised."
Huo Xun only expressed his disapproval, but did not force Ding Yinan and Huo Zhixiao to break up, which shows that he knows in his heart that everything he does is futile.
If he doesn't want to compromise, maybe he will ask Ding Yinan to make an offer as he did before, how much he is willing to leave his son. But he didn't because he knew it wouldn't work.
Rather than embarrassing himself, it is better to leave the scene gracefully, Ding Yinan believes that Huo Xun should mean this.
"It doesn't look like him." Huo Zhixiao said disapprovingly.
"Maybe he's tired." Ding Yinan said leisurely, "I don't want to worry about you brat anymore."
Huo Zhixiao fell into silence, not even noticing that the red light ahead turned green. It was still under Ding Yinan's reminder that he came back to his senses and stepped on the accelerator.
Ding Yinan looked at Huo Zhixiao's profile, and could somewhat guess what he was thinking.
In Huo Zhixiao's eyes, Huo Xun's impression points have already been deducted into negative numbers. He habitually thought that Huo Xun would fight back violently, and he was ready to fight, but Huo Xun's reaction was quite different from what he had imagined, as if he had punched cotton.
After all, Huo Zhixiao and Huo Xun are father and son, and Ding Yinan can't understand the emotion between them. But he had a hunch that it was only a matter of time before the two of them broke the ice.
A few days later, Ding Yinan and Huo Zhixiao held a small celebration party in a bar in the city, firstly to build momentum for the studio by taking advantage of the award, and secondly to thank new and old customers for their care.
Ding Yinan originally wanted to outsource the party to Yuan Feng's team, but Yuan Feng saw that he did not arrange any performances and the scale was less than thirty people, so he offered to sell him favors without charging any fees.
Lin Guo introduced business to the studio, and of course he was also among the invited guests. Ding Yinan asked Guo Yi not to attend, and the three of them would celebrate separately later, but Guo Yi seemed to have put aside the previous matter and offered to come to the party to help.
"So, Uncle Huo already knows about your relationship?"
On the day of the party, Ms. Song's lover was filming on the set, and today she was the only one who came alone. She was wearing a black tube top, her snow-white shoulders were exposed in the air, she was completely different from the appearance when Ding Yinan first saw her.
"I know, but I didn't agree." Huo Zhixiao sat on the high stool by the bar, holding a bottle of beer in one hand and putting his arm around Ding Yinan's shoulder.
"It's a ghost if you agree." Miss Song smiled and said, "I haven't dared to tell my parents so far."
"Then are you going to say it?" Ding Yinan asked.
"It depends on the situation." Miss Song said, "Naturally, I will talk about it when I feel emotional."
Of course, this relationship refers to the relationship between the young couple. If it weren't for the relationship, Huo Zhixiao and Ding Yinan would not have thought about telling Huo Xun about it.
At this time, another three or five people walked in from the door of the bar. Ding Yinan greeted Miss Song, and then went to greet the guests.
There was no entertainment arranged for this celebration party, everyone was free to drink and chat, only at nine o'clock in the evening, Huo Zhixiao and Ding Yinan would come on stage to say something symbolically.
Seeing that nine o'clock was coming, Ding Yinan went to the bathroom first. However, just as he came out of the bathroom, a familiar voice suddenly came from the hidden passage on the other side.
"Why didn't you reply to my message?"
It is Linguo.
At today's party, Lingo probably knew no more than five people. He himself was also very low-key. After entering the bar, he chatted with Ms. Song for a while, and then sat and drank in a dark corner, without any intention of socializing.
"did not see it."
Ding Yinan was not surprised, the person who talked to Lin Guo was Guo Yi.
He sighed in his heart, and was about to leave, but at this moment there was the sound of body bumping and Guo Yi's muffled groan.
If Ding Yinan guessed correctly, Lin Guo should have pushed Guo Yi against the wall. He was afraid that there would be a dispute between the two of them, so he stopped abruptly.
"Where did you fuck me that night, why are you so cowardly now?" Lin Guo asked.
All right.
Ding Yinan suddenly felt that it was really not the right time for him to come to the bathroom.
"You know what happened that night." After Guo Yi finished speaking, there were voices of pushing and shoving, followed by Guo Yi's voice again, "Stay away from me."
Hearing this, Ding Yinan was surprised that Guo Yi should come out. Although he heard it by accident, if Guo Yi found out, it would definitely become embarrassing again, so he turned around quickly, pretending that he just came over from the bar.
"You are here." Ding Yinan pushed open the bathroom door with one hand, and said to Guo Yi, "It's almost nine o'clock, go and sit down."
Guo Yi let out a "hmm", passed Ding Yinan and returned to the bar.
Ding Yinan watched Guo Yi's back disappear around the corner, and he breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned his head again, he saw Lin Guo was leaning lazily against the wall with his arms folded, neither salty nor salty. Looking at him intently, he asked, "Did you hear that?"
"Sorry." Ding Yinan said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
Ling Guo didn't say anything more, but stood up straight and walked towards the bar. But when he passed by Ding Yinan, he suddenly turned his head and said inexplicably, "Congratulations."
Ding Yinan suddenly felt a little baffled. If Huo Zhixiao won the award, Lin Guo could indeed congratulate their studio, but his "congratulations" was obviously aimed at Ding Yinan... What can he do for Lin Guo to congratulate alone
The hour hand has already pointed to nine o'clock, Ding Yinan has no extra time to ponder over what Ling Guo said. In order to behave more naturally, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands before returning to the bar.
At this time, the lights of the bar dimmed for some reason, and in Ding Yinan's impression, there seemed to be no such arrangement. But he changed his mind, Yuan Feng paid great attention to creating an atmosphere, and this was probably a link specially designed by Yuan Feng.
"Come, come, the protagonist is here."
"Get out your phone quickly."
There were rustling conversations all around, and the more Ding Yinan heard it, the more strange he felt. He and Huo Zhixiao were just talking to everyone casually, as for taking out their mobile phones to record
Ding Yinan didn't understand why until he got to the stage.
The lights of the bar were completely darkened, only the two people on the stage were in the center of the spotlight. Huo Zhixiao said to so many people at the awards ceremony that he was calm and unhurried in his acceptance speeches, but now he is touching his earlobes and elbows awkwardly, anyone can see that he is nervous at this moment.
Ding Yinan is not a fool, he faintly sensed Huo Zhixiao's intentions.
Last time in Sanyang Village, Huo Zhixiao mentioned the matter of marriage in a whimsical way, and said that he would PS two marriage certificates for the two of them. At that time, Ding Yinan only thought he was joking and didn't care at all.
Thinking about it now, Huo Zhixiao even made handmade rings as soon as he said it, and PS marriage certificate is not a matter of minutes, how could he give up so easily
The next second, just as Ding Yinan expected, Huo Zhixiao knelt down on one knee in front of him, took out a velvet box from somewhere in his hand, held it in front of him, and asked, "Ding Yinan, what do you want?" Will you marry me?"
There was a booing sound from the audience, Ding Yinan turned his head, unable to see the expressions of those people clearly, but he realized one thing——
What kind of celebration party was this? It was clearly a marriage proposal party, and the only person who was kept in the dark was him.
Before that, he wondered why Yuan Fengfeng didn't take any money from him at all. Even if the two are college classmates and the business belongs to the business, Ding Yinan thinks that if Yuan Feng asks him to decorate, he can give the lowest discount, but it is really difficult to completely free of charge.
So, the client of this party was not him at all, but Huo Zhixiao who secretly planned the proposal.
Listening to the booing around, Ding Yinan could feel that everyone in the audience was blessing them. He slowly retracted his gaze, looked at Huo Zhixiao in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "You are so vulgar, Huo Zhixiao."
After saying this, he took out a key from his trouser pocket.
During the recent period, Ding Yinan visited all the Grade A office buildings in the city, and finally found an office that met his requirements in every way. He signed the contract yesterday, and he only got the key yesterday.
He had planned to give Huo Zhixiao a surprise after today's party was over, but he didn't expect that his surprise hadn't been delivered yet, and Huo Zhixiao gave him a surprise first.
Maybe this is the connection.
Ding Yinan also knelt down in front of Huo Zhixiao, raised the key to Huo Zhixiao's hand holding the ring, and asked, "Huo Zhixiao, are you willing to marry me?"
He knew that his answer must be yes.
