After Huo Yanqing left, Shu Xin quickly drank the porridge Yun Ma served her, then found her mobile phone on the bedside table, unlocked it, and checked the call history. The calls were all from Xiao Ruize.
Shu Xin called back. After the call was connected, Xiao Ruize's voice came over immediately, "Xin'er, is it you?"
"Um."
"Where were you at night? Why would a man answer your call? Who is that man? What is your relationship with him?" Xiao Ruize felt relieved when he heard this, and asked a lot of questions, as if a husband caught his wife when someone was outside, That tone of anger and questioning.
Shu Xin frowned slightly. This was at Huo Yanqing's house. She didn't want to quarrel with him, so she just asked: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten days. I want to visit you at school, but you won't let me. Even if I ask you to come to my place, you won't come either. Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy? Or have you changed your mind and fallen in love with me? Someone else?"
There was a sneer on Shu Xin's lips, but her voice was very gentle, "Ruize, the reason why I haven't seen you during this period is because I am thinking about a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"Are we compatible?"
"Xin'er, why do you think so? Don't you love me anymore?"
"Love, how could I not love you?" The sneer on Shu Xin's lips became brighter and brighter, "I would risk my life for you."
Even though Shu Xin tried her best to control it, her words were still tainted with a touch of ridicule. However, Xiao Ruize subconsciously believed that Shu Xin could not change her heart towards him, so he didn't hear anything wrong in her tone at all.
"Since you love me, there is no question of suitability or inappropriateness."
Shu Xin said in a tangled tone: "But... it's not easy for my father to raise me through all the hardships. I can't abandon him because of you, so let's break up..."
At this moment, Huo Yanqing pushed the door open and came in.
Shu Xin hurriedly said, "I have no classes tomorrow afternoon, so I'll go find you. I have something to do now, so I'll hang up first." Then she hung up the phone directly.
Huo Yanqing walked to the bed and sat down. He seemed to be in a good mood, and his stern outline showed a little softness. "Your design is very good, and the result of the design department meeting was unanimously approved."
A comfortable smile instantly appeared on his face, and his excitement could not be concealed in his words, "Thank you Uncle Wu for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard to do better."
Huo Yanqing's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Don't call me fifth uncle in the future."
The smile on Shu Xin's face froze for an instant, and she bit her lip gently, "I know... Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, I was too rash."
The voice was very low, and the loss between words was obvious.
Huo Yanqingjun's frown became more intense and he was silent for a moment, "Let's call him Fifth Uncle."
The voice was helpless, with a trace of undetectable doting.
The disappointment on Shu Xin's face faded instantly, "Okay."
"It's late, let's rest." After Huo Yanqing said that, she stood up and left the room.
next day
Shu Xin woke up to the sound of an alarm. Huo Yanqing lived a little far from the school, so Shu Xin specially set an alarm clock for six o'clock last night.
When Shu Xin washed up and went downstairs, she happened to meet Huo Yanqing going upstairs.
He was wearing a light gray sports suit, which was different from the strict formality of his usual suits. He exuded the flavor of a family man, and his deep and sharp facial contours seemed to be a little softer than before.
Huo Yanqing was probably doing morning exercises. When Shu Xin approached him, he exuded a strong smell of male hormones after exercise. He was sexy and charming.
