Chapter 26: Who dares to marry you

Views:

Every year on Fu Shihan's birthday, Tang Wanzhi, Fu Shihan's mother, would cook in person and prepare a sumptuous birthday feast for her son with the servants.

Fu Shihan's home is located in a compound in the eastern suburbs, with mountains and rivers nearby, and the environment is quiet and quiet. The house is an old-fashioned three-story courtyard.

Huo Yan liked to play hide-and-seek in Fu's house when he was a child, because the house is very big and has many rooms, as well as attics and basements. For children, these rooms are full of attraction and mystery.

But Huo Sinuan never played casually in Fu's house, she was very sensible, and every time she came to the house, she behaved like a little princess, polite and dignified, accompanied by adults, and knew the rules.

Compared with her, Huo Yan is like a wild girl.

But a wild girl has the advantages of a wild girl, so you don't have to be restrained, you can play however you want, and no one cares about her anyway. Unlike my elder sister, even if I was hungry for an extra piece of meat at the dinner table, my mother would talk about it for a long time when I returned home.

Huo Yan often thought that if she was asked to behave like her sister, she would not be able to bear it.

For this birthday party, several cousins of the Fu family came, as well as playmates from the courtyard when they were young, classmates from high school and college, the whole room was full of young people, and they quickly became acquainted with each other.

Huo Sinuan was chatting and laughing with Fu Shihan's cousins in the living room, while Huo Yan went to the kitchen to help Fu Shihan's mother Tang Wanzhi cook.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, he saw Fu Shihan was there.

He was wearing a dark casual trousers with a relaxed and homely style. It was rare to see him so relaxed in school.

He stood in front of the cupboard, nodding his head and lowering his eyebrows. He held a long and sharp knife in one hand, and pressed a red tomato with the other. The meridians flow, and the movements of cutting vegetables with a knife are skillful and natural.

A few strands of soft bangs hung in front of her forehead, and the lines of her side profile were not as sharp as usual, showing a little softness.

And beside him stood a woman with fair skin, gentle brows, and charming eyes like autumn water. He could vaguely see what a stunning beauty she should have been when she was young.

The charm between Fu Shihan's brows and eyes is 70% similar to that of his mother Tang Wanzhi.

Tang Wanzhi saw Huo Yan standing by the door peeping, so she smiled and waved to her: "Yanyan, come here, try the crispy meat just out of the pan."

Huo Yan walked over, holding her black hair, picked up a piece of golden crispy meat with chopsticks, and grabbed it in one bite.

"Well, it's very hot."

"If you are so greedy, you can eat it without blowing it."

Fu Shihan reluctantly reached out to take the half piece of crispy meat in her mouth, which solved the crisis of burning her mouth.

Huo Yan stuck out his tongue and fanned the wind with his hands: "Huh~ I'm hungry."

Fu Shihan looked at the tip of her ruddy tongue, which looked like a cat, and couldn't help but have some charming thoughts in his heart.

He gently blew on the half of the crispy meat in his hand, and then handed it to Huo Yan when the temperature dropped.

Huo Yan directly took the piece of meat with his mouth, crunching and chewing, with a silly smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fu Shihan stared at her with downcast eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious!" Huo Yan said repeatedly, "Aunt Tang's cooking skills are still so good."

Tang Wanzhi said with a smile: "Ah Han made the crispy meat today. I know you like to eat it since you were a child. He specially learned how to cook it from me."

"Well… "

Huo Yan looked at Fu Shihan, who was cutting cucumbers with a knife, and murmured casually, "I ate my meat, what should I say?"

Huo Yan stuck out her tongue: "Thank you Brother Han."

Tang Wanzhi said to Huo Yan: "Yanyan, go out and play with your friends, the food will be ready soon."

Huo Yan shook her head: "I'm here to help Auntie."

Seeing that Huo Yan had skillfully picked up the apron and put it on for herself, she said helplessly: "Then go to Ahan's side and see what he wants you to do."

"good."

Huo Yan obediently walked to Fu Shihan's side: "Brother Han, what should I do?"

Fu Shihan glanced at her with his head tilted, and handed her half a cucumber that had been peeled: "Eat it."

"ah?"

"Didn't you say help?"

"Yeah, I'm here to help you."

"I peeled half an extra cucumber and ate it for me."

He stuffed the cucumber directly into Huo Yan's mouth.

Huo Yan: ...

She creaked, stood beside Fu Shihan, and gnawed on the cucumber for five minutes.

Fu Shihan took the spatula, poured oil into the pan, and asked casually, "It's finished."

Huo Yan swallowed the last mouthful: "It's over."

"Help me put on my apron."

"ha?"

Fu Shihan raised the spatula: "I can't move my hand, help me wear it."

Huo Yan looked at the light-colored home clothes on his body, then brought an apron, and hung it around his neck on tiptoe.

Fu Shihan opened his arms, so Huo Yan wrapped his arms around his waist, and tied the belt behind his waist from the front.

In this posture, it was as if Huo Yan was embracing him.

There was a fresh smell of washing powder in his body, which gave people a particularly clean feeling, and Huo Yan took a deep breath calmly.

It smells so good.

"Ready?" he asked.

"It's almost ready, I can't see it, I can only feel it."

"You can tie it around the back, why do you use this posture?"

"Yes!"

Huo Yan slapped his head, she could help him tie his skirt from behind, why did she have to wrap his arms around him from the front, in such an awkward posture.

Her face flushed instantly, and she was a little annoyed.

How stupid.

Seeing her blushing face, Fu Shihan's mouth twitched into a half-smile: "You want to take advantage of me?"

Huo Yan even burned his earlobes: "Absolutely not!"

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Fu Shihan stopped teasing her, turned around and asked her to fasten her skirt, and then put the vegetables into the pot, and the water droplets made a crackling sound when they hit the oil.

He turned the spatula while shaking Huo Yan's little head with the other hand: "If you continue to be so stupid, what will happen in the future? Who would dare to marry you."

Huo Yan pouted unconvinced: "I've eaten your rice."

"If you really can't get married, maybe you will come to eat my rice in the future."

"Tch, those who are cheap don't get what you get." Huo Yan said righteously: "I won't eat your rice."

The two of them had a row and made jokes. Tang Wanzhi walked out of the kitchen, and when she turned around, she saw Fu Shihan holding Huo Yan's shoulder and pushing and rubbing.

She knew that the two children had a good relationship since they were young, and it was okay when they were young, but now that they are both older children, if they continue to be so close, in the future... I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings.

"Auntie, what are you thinking?"

Tang Qianmo suddenly appeared, startling Tang Wanzhi: "Oh, you stinky girl, are you Monkey Sun? You can be found everywhere. You are always elusive."

Tang Qianmo giggled: "I saw you in a daze, auntie, so I wanted to come here to scare you."

Tang Qianmo is Fu Shihan's cousin. She just graduated from university this year. She is a quirky girl.

"Auntie, what are you thinking about?"

Tang Wanzhi shook her head: "It's nothing."

Tang Qianmo looked back at Fu Shihan and Huo Yan in the kitchen, and let out a long "Oh": "I see, you are worried about your brother and sister Huo Yan."

"Smelly girl." Tang Wanzhi knew that she couldn't hide anything from this ghost, so she simply pulled her to the window and said in a low voice, "Your brother and Yanyan have been close since childhood, and that's okay."

Tang Qianmo said, "Auntie, when have you ever seen my brother smile like that to other girls?"

Tang Wanzhi turned her head, and through the half-closed kitchen door, she could vaguely see Fu Shihan's flattened eyebrows and doting smile, and the way he looked at Huo Yan, so gentle and peaceful.

"My brother is cold to everyone, especially us brothers and sisters, who were always taught by him when we were young." Tang Qianmo pouted: "It's sister Huo Yan. He held her and protected her when he was young, and he didn't let us Bullying her, if sister Huo Yan makes a mistake, he will protect her shortcomings better than anyone else."

"He regards Huo Yan as his younger sister."

Tang Qianmo smiled: "Which one of us is not his brother and sister by blood, I don't think he regards Huo Yan as his sister at all, but as his wife!"

Tang Wanzhi was startled, and quickly covered her mouth. At this moment, Huo Sinuan came over and said to Tang Wanzhi, "Auntie, is there anything I can do for you in the kitchen?"

"It's almost here now, so you don't have to go there. You're wearing a beautiful white dress today, so don't get dirty."

"Then Auntie, I'll go downstairs to greet Shi Han's classmates."

"Go ahead."

Huo Sinuan and Tang Qianmo looked at each other, she smiled at her, but Tang Qianmo dismissed her and didn't take her seriously.

After Huo Sinuan left, Tang Wanzhi said: "Your sister Sinuan is your future sister-in-law, so stop talking nonsense."

Tang Qianmo snorted and said, "It's not that you haven't seen my brother's neither cold nor indifferent attitude towards Huo Sinuan, and our brothers and sisters don't like Huo Sinuan, she's too pretentious, if she becomes our friend in the future Sister-in-law, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."

Tang Wanzhi poked her on the head: "Si Nuan is polite and well-mannered, whether she pretends or not, do you think everyone is like you, spending all day outside, not knowing the heights of the sky and the earth."

Tang Qianmo said: "My lords, you just like to pretend to be stupid. Sister Huo Yan was busy in the kitchen for a long time just now, and she didn't see this sister Si Nuan come over to ask. She was only busy socializing with people downstairs. Now the dish It was all on the table, so she ran over eagerly and asked if there was any help in the kitchen. Auntie, who is better among the sisters, don't you feel like a bright mirror in your heart."

"Could it be possible that my sister wants a younger sister again? The Huo family can't justify it, and it's also a blow to Si Nuan. In the future, don't talk about this matter again." Tang Wanzhi sighed: "Your brother has so many friends, they are all good friends." Child, I will help Huo Yan keep an eye on good people"

"Auntie!"

Seeing Tang Wanzhi's leaving back, Tang Qianmo stomped her feet resentfully.

In the living room, Huo Sinuan cut up fruit pieces and put them in front of Tang Qianmo: "Sister, do you want to eat fruit?"

Tang Qianmo's eyes fell on the Chanel bag next to Huo Sinuan's body, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he pointed to the other girls in the room, and said, "They are my sisters, they are related by blood, what kind of sister are you? , what qualifications do you have to call me sister?"

Huo Sinuan's face was a little ugly. She knew that Tang Qianmo had always disliked her, but in order to successfully marry into the Fu family, she had to establish a good relationship with these sisters in the family and make them like her.

"Sister Qianmo, I know you don't like me, but I really don't know what I did wrong. If I do something wrong, you can tell me and I will change it."

Tang Qianmo glanced at her, seeing her humble appearance, on the contrary, he felt a little more disgusted in his heart.

"Do you really want to marry my brother?"

Huo Sinuan pretended to be innocent and said: "This is not a question of whether I want to or not. I should have been your brother's wife."

Tang Qianmo sneered: "Really, but as far as I know, the marriage contract between the Fu family and the Huo family refers to the daughter of the Huo family and the son of the Fu family, but it doesn't say that it must be you, Huo Sinuan."

The smile on the corner of Huo Sinuan's mouth gradually faded, she looked at Tang Qianmo, and said lightly, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is very obvious. It's not certain who will marry my brother in the future for the two daughters of the Huo family."

Huo Sinuan's hands were clenched into fists, and she said in a low voice, "Are you talking about that wild girl? She doesn't have the capital to compete with me."

Since she was a child, Huo Sinuan has been the best. The whole family has devoted all their efforts to her. Huo Yan has nothing, a fool, why should she compete with herself.

However, at this moment, Tang Qianmo suddenly yelled: "Brother, when did you come down? You didn't say anything. I was chatting with Sister Si Nuan. She said that others are not qualified to compete with her. It's so funny. Your future wife is still competing for the job."

Huo Sinuan's face suddenly turned pale, and all the bones in his body were stiff.

She turned her head, and Fu Shihan stood behind her with a cold face and cold eyes.
