Yan Xi was about to disgust Huo Zhuping with familiarity, she glanced at the book again, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, he didn't watch Detective Conan, the anime, which said that there were hundreds of ways to kill people.

Huo Zhuping glanced at her coldly, and his gaze fell on Yuan Sheng's face. Yuan Sheng lowered his gaze and said in a low voice, "I'll cut some fruit out." ”

Huo Zhuping's gaze followed Yuan Sheng, and he didn't retract it until he couldn't see it, he took down his trouser legs and sat on the sofa, folded his long legs, opened the book and read it, as if it was so attractive, and ignored Yan Xi's greeting.

Yan Xi was not annoyed, smiled slightly, turned his head away, found a topic to chat with Feng Su by himself, and said in his heart: The contradiction between Yuan Sheng and Huo Zhuping is obvious, and it is already very deep.

The last time he came, Feng Su taught Yan Xi a lesson in the flower room, and he was almost torn his face at that time, when Huo Zhuan came in and took Yan Xi away, otherwise he didn't know how to end the private chat with a grim situation.

At this time, Feng Su was a generous and loving elder, gossiping with Yan Xi, and talking about her personal interview, praising her for her ability. Feng Su plays a lady who is elegant and easy-going, and Yan Xi also plays a chatter who is kind and lively, going back and forth, as if the last unhappiness had never happened.

Yuan Sheng rubbed in the kitchen for a while, Yan Xi was chatting with Feng Su, and wondered why she hadn't come out yet, shouldn't something have happened?

Yan Xi's eyes rolled slightly, and he glanced at Huo Jinshen, who had no expression on his face, and drank indifferently with a water glass, occasionally looking interested in their topic.

Yan Xi secretly observed Huo Zhuping again, he turned the pages of the book, page by page, as if he was addicted to it.

Suddenly, Huo Jinshen stood up, everyone raised their heads to look at him, Huo Jinshen said indifferently: "I'll go to the bathroom, you continue." ”

He walked away, Yan Xi retracted his gaze and continued to answer Feng Su's question, and Huo Zhuping's gaze also fell back on the book.

The living room looked fairly calm, but Yan Xi felt something surging in the air. Everyone here is actually just pressing.

The bathroom of the Huo family's old house is separated from the kitchen by some distance, one in the east and one in the west, and the living room is located in the south-facing position. Huo Jinshen came out of the bathroom and walked down the aisle to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yuan Sheng was picking up the broken crystal fruit bowl fragments on the ground, she was just unconsciously picking it up, and her mind had already flown away. Suddenly, a sharp stinging pain hit, she looked down, blood oozed from the tips of her thin white fingers, she pinched the injured fingers and stood up, and walked to the pool to rinse.

When Huo Jinshen walked in, what he saw was a fragment on the ground, as well as the back of Yuan Sheng standing by the pool.

He frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Sheng was startled by the sudden sound, turned around and saw that it was Huo Jinshen, she breathed a sigh of relief, and squeezed out a smile: "It's you." ”

She turned around and turned off the faucet, took out a piece of paper to wipe her hands clean, and said, "I accidentally broke the fruit bowl, I'll just clean it up." ”

"What are you doing here, I'll be fine soon. Yuan Sheng said politely, obviously in this family, she can't be natural.

Huo Jinshen's eyes suddenly glanced back, and he walked in and said, "I'll get something." ”

He walked to the refrigerator, took a bottle of cold drink and walked out, passing by Huo Zhuping who came over.

When the two of them staggered, he felt Huo Zhuping's cold gaze, Huo Jinshen didn't have any expression, and walked straight forward.

Huo Zhuping paused, turned his head to look at Huo Jinshen's back, and said to Yuan Sheng, "What is he doing when he comes in?"

Yuan Sheng stretched his face, took a broom and swept the debris, Huo Zhuping saw that she didn't care about herself, snatched her broom, and said sharply: "You don't have long ears, I'll talk to you." What did he come in and tell you?"

Yuan Sheng closed her eyes, curled up her injured fingers and hid them in her palm, and she said lightly: "What did he do when he came in, didn't you see everything?"

She glanced at the location of the refrigerator and walked over to open the refrigerator door: "Why don't you check again to see if he has left any codes?"

Huo Zhuping frowned, calmly did not speak, and looked at her fixedly, as if he wanted to find something from her face.

Yuan Sheng looked directly at him and said, "Huo Zhuping, in fact, do you want him to say something to me, or do you think he has something to say to me?"

Huo Zhuping's face turned cold: "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

Yuan Sheng sneered and said, "What nonsense am I talking about, aren't you suspicious? I didn't do anything, but you stared at me everywhere." Huo Zhuping, you are really unreasonable. ”

"Think about yourself, there are so many women out there, why are you staring at me? Am I your personal belonging?"

"I just met Huo Jinshen, and you feel like I did something sorry for you. But why don't you think about it, Huo Jinshen has a girlfriend, and they are about to get married! What do you think I can do with him!"

The emotions that Yuan Sheng had suppressed for days seemed to have found a direction to vent with that wound, and he said it in one go. Her chest heaved violently, and her head ached.

Her body shook slightly, and she rested back against the table, her hands rubbing her temples, her eyebrows furrowed.

Huo Zhuping saw that she was emotional, afraid that she would have something, so he stepped forward to support her and said, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Sheng pushed him away: "Don't touch me." ”

Huo Zhuping didn't retreat, but saw the blood beads coming out of her fingertips. He grabbed her hand: "What's hurt?"

As he spoke, he refused to allow her, so he took her hand and rinsed it again, rummaged through the cabinet, found a band-aid, and carefully pasted it on her.

Yuan Sheng's fingers were held by him, and the distance between the two was extremely close, so close that she could feel the temperature from his body, as well as his nervous emotions.

Yuan Sheng's heart shrank suddenly, he used to be a very gentle and considerate person, but since he came to this Huo family's old mansion, everything has changed. She was stunned, it turned out that Huo Zhuping in the past was just an actor with outstanding acting skills, and he tricked her into marrying him.

He's just a man who thinks highly of himself and is used to controlling everything from above.

And now, she felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther away, and even if they were so close, she could no longer feel her heart.

Yuan Sheng's heart was desolate, and he withdrew his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a small injury." ”

Huo Zhuping looked at her indifferent appearance and said, "It's not what you think......

Yuan Sheng glanced at him, and he said again: "It's not what you think. Huo Jinshen is a very complicated person, I don't want you to get too close to him. ”

Yuan Sheng picked up the fruit plate of the liuli table and said lightly: "Huo Zhuping, I have my own ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and I also have the right to talk to others. I know what to listen to and what not to hear, I'm not a child, and I'm not your personal belongings. ”

"Your nervous look only makes me feel ......," she paused, swallowing back the rest of the words.

If she said it, she was afraid that Huo Zhuping would create a cage and lock her up so that no one could contact her.

She wanted to say that all his actions seemed to be preventing Huo Jinshen from saying anything to her.

Yuan Sheng sighed lightly and walked out, Huo Zhuping stood stunned for a few seconds, turned his head to look over, and held his hanging fingers one by one.

In the living room, when Yuan Sheng walked out, Huo Huaiyin and Huo Zhuan, father and son, had already returned, and Yuan Sheng put the fruit plate on the coffee table and sat quietly on the side.

Yan Xi glanced at Yuan Sheng and said with a smile: "This fruit plate is so beautiful, no wonder you have been in it for so long." I thought something had happened and wanted to find you. ”

"By the way, Brother Zhuping seems to be looking for you, what about the others?"

Huo Zhuping walked over with a gloomy face, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Miss Yan, you seem to be paying special attention to my whereabouts?"

Yan Xi grinned, and Huo Zhu'an next to him said, "Big brother, don't call her Miss Yan in the future." Yan Xi and his second brother have already obtained a marriage certificate. ”

Huo Zhu'an frowned, he was in the kitchen just now, so he didn't know what was said outside.

As if in order to let him hear it with his own ears again, Yan Xi said: "Yes, Brother Zhuping, I just got the certificate with Huo Jinshen, and I came here this time to inform everyone." ”

Huo Zhuping's face was completely gloomy, and he said, "What did you say?" He turned his head to look at Huo Jinshen, during which his gaze stayed on Yuan Sheng's face for a second, and he said, "You got married and got a certificate, why didn't you talk about it in advance?"

Yan Xi and Huo Jinshen were both observing Huo Zhuping's expression, and when Yan Xi talked about getting the certificate, the glance he looked at Yuan Sheng was a subconscious move. And their marriage has nothing to do with Yuan Sheng...... What does that look mean?

Huo Jinshen calmly grabbed Yan Xi's arm, revealing the scar that had not yet fallen off, and said, "I originally planned to come to the old mansion to inform me first, but Yan Xi was in danger at that time, and I couldn't catch up for a while." ”

Originally, as soon as the news of Yan Xi and Huo Jinshen's certificate came out, Huo Huaiyin and Feng Su's faces were not very good-looking, and at this time, everyone's eyes fell on her arm.

Those hideous wounds, even if they are scabbed, are still shocking.

Huo Zhu'an frowned, looked carefully, looked at Yan Xi and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

Yan Xi brushed down her sleeves and withdrew her arm embarrassedly, she glanced at Huo Jinshen, her face showed a little shyness, and said: "Huo Jinshen, he made too much fuss, it's just a small injury, it's not very serious." ”

She looked at Huo Jinshen and said in a low voice: "You too, you were originally happy, but this is too bad for everyone to see." ”

Although Yan Xi lowered his voice, the volume was enough for everyone to hear. The husband and wife sang and harmonized, Huo Jin looked sorry for his wife, Yan Xi seemed embarrassed, but in fact it just aroused everyone's curiosity.

Huo Zhu'an couldn't help it at first, he said: "You are like this, how can it be a small injury? What danger have you encountered?"

Yan Xi frowned, as if remembering some bad experience, and said with a sinking breath: "I went to see a customer that day, and when I returned to the parking lot, a stray dog suddenly rushed up and attacked me. ”

Yuan Sheng gasped, covered his mouth, and his big eyes were full of horror.

And Yan Xi also tried her best to show her fear at that time, her body trembled slightly, and Huo Jin helped her deeply and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, it's all over." ”

Yan Xi said in a low voice: "I was worried that the dog was carrying the virus and thought that he was going to die, so Huo Jinshen took me to get the certificate." She pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Huo Huaiyin and Feng Su, "Mom and Dad, Huo Jin is worried about me, and he didn't inform you in a hurry, he didn't disrespect you, please don't blame him." ”

Yan Xi changed his name to "Mom and Dad" in a timely manner, no matter what their attitude towards Huo Jinshen was, no matter what their attitude was towards her, as a junior, the etiquette was at least not guilty of not knowing how to be polite.

Huo Huaiyin's eyebrows were heavy, but he didn't say anything, Feng Su coughed lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. After a while, Huo Huaiyin said: "That's it, since I have already obtained the certificate, I can't say anything more." ”

He looked at Huo Jinshen: "You came this time to discuss the wedding?"

Huo Jin nodded deeply and said: "I will arrange someone to do the wedding, and there will be a designer to measure the size of the two to make the dress, and I will tell the prophet." He paused, and then looked at Huo Zhu'an, "Besides, Yan Xi has no brothers." You are Yan Xi's senior brother, so you will be her mother's family for the time being and help her fight. The master of ceremonies will tell you how to do it. ”

Huo Zhuan agreed: "This is okay." ”

Yan Xi was silent at this time, listening to Huo Jinshen's arrangement, his efficiency was really high, and he arranged everything in a few words.

She took a sip of yogurt, smiled and played the role of a bride, nodding her head when she was mentioned.

Yuan Sheng noticed that the yogurt in her hand was the bottle that Huo Jinshen took from the refrigerator. It turned out that he gave her to drink.

She said, "Yan Xi, do you like to drink yogurt?"

The other side continued to talk, and Yan Xi opened up a small talk between women to Yuan Sheng. She glanced at the yogurt in her hand and said, "Yes, drink it before meals to fight hunger, and drink it after meals to eliminate food." ”

Yuan Sheng smiled: "It looks like you're hungry." She glanced at those who continued to talk about the wedding, poked a piece of apple from the fruit bowl and handed it to Yan Xi, "It seems that they have to talk about it for a while, you can eat some fruit first." ”

Yan Xi looked at Huo Zhuping, who was "left behind and independent", took the apple handed over by Yuan Sheng, and said: "Sister-in-law, your hands are so skillful, the fruit plate is so beautiful, when will you teach me." ”

Yuan Sheng smiled shyly and said, "It's just a fruit, what a coincidence." With a movement of her fingers, she pressed the hand with the band-aid underneath.

Yan Xi's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed Yuan Sheng's hand and said, "Why is it hurt, Brother Zhuping is going to feel distressed." ”

Yuan Sheng's face became delicate when she heard her mention Huo Zhuping, she withdrew her hand without a trace, and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not a big deal." ”

Yan Xi waved his finger and said with a smile: "It's not." Do you know, when I was bitten by a dog, Huo Jinshen heard the news and immediately ran to the hospital. A man who loves you, even if you hurt the slightest, will feel distressed. ”

"Actually, Brother Zhu Ping was in the kitchen just now, just to help you bandage your wounds, right?"

She looked at Huo Zhuping, Huo Zhuping had always disliked Yan Xi, and even more disliked Yuan Sheng being so enthusiastic with her. But what Yuan Sheng said in the kitchen just now made him have to suppress his temper.

He said coldly, "Miss Yan, you seem to be paying special attention to me?"

Huo Zhuping didn't recognize Huo Jinshen, let alone Yan Xi as his younger brother and sister, so it was impossible to change the title.

Yan Xi smiled and said, "Brother Zhuping, I know that you and Huo Jinshen had some grievances before. But everyone is a family, so why bother to put everything on the face? You just heard that I received the certificate with Jinshen, and I still looked dissatisfied. I thought that you regarded Huo Jinshen as a brother, otherwise why would you be so angry?"

Huo Zhuping was blocked, glanced at her coldly, lowered his eyelids and continued to read.

Yan Xi didn't plan to end there. She said: "Just now, Brother Zhu Ping also said that I pay attention to you, and I have to say this." Huo Jinshen and her sister-in-law are here, I don't want to cause any misunderstanding. I pay attention to what you do, and if you want to care, my sister-in-law cares about you. ”

"I can care about my sister-in-law, after all, she hasn't been a beginner for a long time. The two of us just happened to be in company, so we could talk. Saying that, she turned her head to Yuan Sheng and said, "Sister-in-law, if Brother Zhuping is busy in the future, you will come to me, I happen to lack a companion." ”

Huo Zhuping came to her in person, and the scene of warning her was still vivid, but at this time, Yan Xi invited Yuan Sheng openly, but he couldn't say a word of objection.

Yan Xi looked at Huo Zhuping's deflated expression, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.

And Yuan Sheng also seemed to have found an opportunity to get rid of Huo Zhuping's surveillance, and his eyes were more eager when he looked at him. At this time, Huo Zhuping said coldly: "Miss Yan, you also showed your injured arm just now. You're fine, but I don't want Yuan Sheng to get hurt. ”

"I heard that Miss Yan has offended a lot of people, so it's better to stay away from Yuan Sheng. ”

Yan Xi smiled and said, "People in the rivers and lakes, how can they not offend people." I have shown favor to Brother Zhuping and have been calling you Big Brother, but you have always called me Miss Yan. Brother Zhuping, when have I ever offended you?"

She leaned forward and stared straight at Huo Zhuping, missing a trace of expression on his face.

Huo Zhu was stunned, and his eyes flashed slightly. He said: "The Huo family has no business dealings with the Yan family, and there is no conflict of interest, so it is not offended. However, Miss Yan's reputation is not good. ”

He put down his book and stood up, and said, "It's late, can you have dinner?"

It happened that Huo Jinshen and the second elder of the Huo family also talked about it, Feng Su called the maid to prepare dinner, and everyone moved to the restaurant. Yuan Sheng pulled Yan Xi and walked behind Huo Huaiyin and Huo Jinshen, Huo Zhuan, and Feng Su and Huo Zhuping at the back.

Feng Su glanced at Yuan Sheng and whispered to Huo Zhuping, "Did your husband and wife quarrel?"

Huo Zhuping was upset and said impatiently: "No." ”

Feng Su didn't care whether he had it or not, and reminded: "You secretly married someone back, and you can hide it from us." But if your dad sees something, beware of angering him, and it won't end up at that time. ”

"Huo Jinshen married that demon girl, he won't have any good intentions, don't make trouble at this time. ”

Huo Zhuping said with a calm face: "I know." ”

Feng Su said again: "And Yuan Sheng, I saw that she still had some beautiful looks before, and she was also sensible, but you can look at Yan Xi again." How much your dad hated her before, he can put up with her now. She is a big help to Huo Jinshen, your wife, you have to adjust and adjust it well. ”

Huo Zhuping's face sank even more, he didn't say a word, and when everyone walked to the table, Yuan Sheng planned to sit down next to Yan Xi, but was pulled by Huo Zhuping who came from behind and walked to his exclusive position.

Yan Xi glanced over there and sat down with Huo Jinshen.

Huo Huaiyin sat in the first place, but he happened to be face to face with Yan Xi, and Yan Xi could see his face across the table.

She sighed slightly in her heart, this scene made her feel as if she had returned to the Yan family, Yan Zhengyu also had a straight face, extremely serious, and wrote her dislike on her face.

She secretly wondered: Is it that all the elders have this expression when they see me. Yan Zhengyu is like this, Huo Huaiyin is also like this, how unpopular I am.

Fortunately, the Huo family didn't talk much at the dinner table, and after dinner, Huo Huaiyin called Huo Jinshen and Huo Zhuping to go to the study to talk, and Yan Xi naturally stayed and waited for him.

She glanced at Huo Jinshen, according to the original plan, he should have found a chance to talk to Yuan Sheng, but now it is impossible.

Yuan Sheng walked over and said to her, "Yan Xi, I just finished eating, let's go out for a walk together." ”

Yan Xi nodded and said, "Okay, I just ate too much, so I can eliminate my food." It was exactly what she wanted, and she didn't have to chat with Feng Su in a fake way.

Huo Zhuping walked to the steps of the stairs and saw the two women walking towards the door, his brows furrowed, and he stopped and didn't continue to go up. Huo Jin glanced at him, turned his head to see the backs of the two women, and said indifferently to Huo Zhu: "Your women, my women, are all women, are you still afraid that Yan Xi will harm her?"

Huo Huaiyin walked over, saw the two brothers standing on the steps, and said loudly: "What, you still plan to fight here?"

On the other side, Yan Xi and Yuan Sheng had already walked outside.

The night breeze blew over, and the temperature was suitable, just to blow away the sleepiness that Yan Xi had brought up because of his satiety. She said: "Sister-in-law, the Huo family's old mansion is really big enough. Haven't you ever gotten lost here?"

She deliberately said a light topic, Yuan Sheng's mood improved slightly, and she said: "When I first came, I was a little unaccustomed. But Zhu Ping accompanied me, and then I got used to it. ”

Yan Xi said: "It seems that Brother Zhuping really loves you." ”

The smile on Yuan Sheng's face fell, and he walked forward slowly. At night, her figure is thin and lonely, the kind of thinness that will make people feel distressed.

Yan Xi strolled with her silently, and before she knew it, the two walked to a separate small house. Yan Xi said: "This place looks like a utility room, sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Sheng pushed open the door, the lights inside were lit, and he saw an iron cage in a vacant place, and a gray-haired rabbit was held in the cage, Yan Xi recognized it at a glance, it was the one caught by King Kong.
