A few seconds later, the message came back. He said: Yan Xi, if you are implicitly admitting that you like me, and you like it to the point that you want to get together with a cat, I say that I understand it and am very happy.

Yan Xi thinks that in terms of tricky speech, basically no one can win her, and now, she has confirmed that if she is second, then Huo Jinshen must be first, there is no doubt.

Yan Xi: You think too much, I'm going to sleep.

She couldn't talk any more, or she was afraid that she would lose sleep.

She put her phone on the bedside table, picked up the quilt and went to sleep.

There was a small light on at the head of the bed, Yan Xi was sticking to the pillow, and he still glanced at his mobile phone before closing his eyes.

There was a ticking sound, and she reached out and grabbed her phone to look, and this time she sent two very simple words: good night.

Yan Xi didn't reply again, but when he put down the phone, he had a smile on the corner of his lips.

Maybe it was in the restaurant, Huo Jinshen's words to defend her, maybe it was the old man Fang Cai's partiality towards Yan Tong, maybe it was Huo Jinshen's chat with her now, or maybe it was all the reason why she felt less repulsed by Huo Jinshen.

Even if he talks about deals with him open and closed, it doesn't look so offensive, at least...... When he proposed the deal, he gave her real benefits, which was fair, at least he would respect her, and it made her feel a little better than making her pay so much to the Yan family.

She can't help but wonder, is it really easier to maintain a relationship with a deal than a relationship?

This night, Yan Xi slept quite soundly.

At dawn in the morning, the Yan Mansion has already begun to be lively.

The Yan family has many rules, one of which is that you can't sleep lazy. When Yan Xi got up to wash, the phone rang again.

At such an early age, few people would usually look for her except her assistant. She glanced at it casually, and was stunned again.

Huo Jinshen, what the hell is this?

She cut his voice call and changed the text: What's the matter?

Huo Jinshen: I was in a teahouse near the Yan Mansion, and we had breakfast together.

Yan Xi suddenly felt his scalp tingle, he really thought they were dating, right?

Yan Xi: The maid at home has already made breakfast.

When the message came, she got up and went to the bathroom. In this short distance, Huo Jinshen's message has arrived: You mean, you want to invite me to the Yan Mansion for breakfast?

Yan Xi picked up the phone and looked at it, speechless in the mirror.

But when she saw herself in the mirror, she was stunned and looked down at her phone again.

She has never been a mobile phone controller, and she does not have the habit of holding a mobile phone when she goes to the toilet.

Even when she talks to others about work, she will leave her phone in her room and resume the conversation when she is done.

But now, she actually carries her mobile phone with her?

Yan Xi felt that her behavior was a bit beyond what she knew.

But before that, she had to reply to the message first, otherwise, Huo Jinshen might deliberately think that she invited him to Yan Mansion for breakfast.

It's nothing to have breakfast, but when he comes to Yan's house, the old man may pull him to sit down and drink tea, and then talk about marriage according to his wishes.

Yan Xi: No, I'll come over in a moment and send me the location.

Then, she put the phone down on the reverse side, washed her face and brushed her teeth.

When Yan Xi finished washing up and changed his clothes and went out, Yan Tong also happened to open the door at the end of the corridor.

She was still dressed up beautifully, her complexion was very good, and when she saw Yan Xi, she walked down the stairs as if she didn't see her.

Yan Xi looked at her twisted back and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although it was said that the old man favored Yan Tong last night, her words were quite heavy, and it was impossible for Yan Tong's temperament to let go overnight.

How can she still be in a good mood?

Yan Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what this person wanted to do.

Yan Xi waited for Yan Tong to go halfway down the stairs before going downstairs.

In the dining room, the old man was already sitting at the table, he was wearing a loose white sweatshirt, and he was drinking milk there.

"Good morning, Grandpa. Yan Tong went to the restaurant first, and greeted her with a sweet smile when she opened the chair, and the old man saw that she didn't hold back her temper, thinking that she had figured it out by herself. He nodded and said, "I got up so late, and I finished a set of Tai Chi." ”

Yan Tong was drinking soy milk, and said, "Grandpa, it's too late for me." Beibei doesn't even have a figure. ”

"Beibei is still young, she needs to sleep more and grow her body. It's time for you to get some exercise. The old man peeled an egg and glanced at her.

"Grandpa, you know about eccentricity. Yan Tong was coquettish, but he was very good at flattering the old man who brought the roasted wheat he liked to eat in front of him, and drank the multigrain porridge with little calories, "I feel that I have gained weight at home during this time, grandpa, I will accompany you to exercise tomorrow." ”

Yan Xi's ears are not deaf and his eyes are not blind. Yan Tong deliberately flattered her, just to stab her.

She hooked the corners of her lower lip sneeringly, and walked straight out, without even making a bend in the restaurant, and the maid Li's mother stopped her: "Third Miss, are you not eating breakfast?"

Yan Xi stood at the door, put on his coat, and said lightly: "Well, Huo Jinshen asked me to accompany him for breakfast, so I won't eat at home." ”

With that, she walked out.

Her voice was neither high nor low, enough for anyone in the restaurant to hear. Although she can't express her dissatisfaction with the old man clearly, but she eats breakfast at different tables and moves out of Huo Jinshen, what else can the old man do to her?

In the restaurant, Yan Tong's lips twitched slightly, and a wave of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Huo Jinshen likes her so much that she even has to stick to breakfast together?

With a slight roll of his eyes, Yan Tong said to the old man: "Grandpa, Yan Xi didn't even eat breakfast with you, is she still angry about what happened last night and went to Huo Jin to complain?"

"Then she's too stingy. She wronged me so much, and I wasn't even angry. ”

Yan Zhengyu frowned, and at this time, Shen Makeup came over, she sat down with Yan Donglin, and then said to Yan Tong: "Tongtong, you and Yan Xi grew up together, what kind of personality she is, don't you know yet?"

As she spoke, she smiled at Yan Zhengyu and said, "Yan Xi has always disliked to sue others, and if she is wronged, she will lock herself in her room at most and don't like to talk." Besides, everyone is a family, why did she have to say those things to Huo Jinshen. ”

"Also, when she and Huo Jinshen were dating, it was normal for young couples to stick to each other. ”

Yan Zhengyu's eyebrows stretched, glanced at Yan Tong and said, "I see that you are idle, it's okay for you to keep an eye on what she does." If you have time to find a boyfriend, you won't be staring at others all the time. ”

Yan Tong suddenly blocked her heart in one breath, and almost choked her to death. Why don't you fall in love with Huo Jinshen, what's the big deal, if she wants to find it, she will find someone more powerful than Huo Jinshen. With her appearance, who can't she find?

……

In the teahouse, Yan Xi followed the waiter to the box on the second floor.

Huo Jinshen was wearing simple casual clothes, which was very different from the way he used to wear a suit and tie, and he didn't look so sharp, not gloomy, and more sunny.

The morning sun hit his body, and his wheat-colored skin was slightly shiny and glowed with a warm light. And even brighter are his eyes, black but not gloomy, soft as if with the sun to surround her.

Yan Xi looked at him in a daze for a while, feeling that something was licking her palm, Yan Xi came back to her senses, looked down, and saw a big dog wagging its tail at her.

"It's King Kong. ”

"Hmm. Yan Xi didn't know what to say, so he nodded stunned, they talked about dogs last night......

She looked at Huo Jinshen blankly, "You brought the dog to the teahouse?"

It's true that some ladies like to carry Chihuahuas or teddies in and out of restaurants, but like this kind of large dog, it seems that no one brings them in, right?

Fortunately, this is a private room, otherwise it would have been complained.

As soon as Huo Jinshen beckoned, the dog automatically ran to his side and squatted obediently.

Huo Jinshen pulled out the chair for her and said, "King Kong has been trained in a pet school, and he is very humane and will not hurt people casually. ”

Yan Xi nodded, scratched his eyebrows lightly and asked tentatively, "Don't you want me to buy dog food now?"

Huo Jinshen was pouring soy milk, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, he smiled faintly, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and he looked comfortable and relaxed.

"I'm just walking the dog in the morning, but since you mentioned it, it's good to go to the pet store in a while, it just so happens that Jin has just come to Jiangcheng, and there are a lot of things to buy." ”

Yan Xi really wanted to bite his tongue, he really had nothing to do.

Huo Jin looked at her annoyed and lowered her eyebrows and drank soy milk, with a faint smile on her lips.

The sun shines on the table, and several snacks on the table seem to have the smell of sunshine, which makes people feel happy.

The two of them had breakfast together quietly, Huo Jin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yan Xi, she ate a little fast, but it was very gentle.

She was quiet, without the spikes that stood up, like a docile little rabbit, obediently trying to let people touch her hair.

This is the first time that Huo Jinshen has had breakfast with him since he returned to Jiangcheng. This feeling made him feel a sense of fullness in his heart, and he felt that this morning was not bad, it was very good.

And he hadn't felt that way in a long time.

He even thought that if it was a rainy day, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the window, it must be nice to have a quiet breakfast.

Huo Jinshen sandwiched a crab roe xiaolongbao and put it on the plate in front of her, Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, Huo Jinshen was also stunned, as if he had just realized his actions.

But he naturally dissolved it and said, "The crab roe dragon bun is the signature here." ”

Fuyunlou is a famous teahouse in Jiangcheng, a must-have restaurant for food recommendations, and the crab roe xiaolongbao here is also on the list, Yan Xi, as an authentic Jiangcheng person, is of course also clear.

She is not hypocritical, according to the steps of eating xiaolongbao, first dip the vinegar and bite the skin, suck the delicious soup inside, and then taste it carefully, a xiaolongbao is finished, except for a little oil and water on the lips, there is no staining.

Many people eat xiaolongbao, all while biting, dripping down with oil, eating a little ugly, Huo Jin looked at her oily lips, and then saw her stretch out her little tongue and lick her lips, and her full lips seemed to be more moist.

Huo Jinshen saw that her heart moved, her lower abdomen tightened inexplicably, and at the same time, when she saw her finish eating the xiaolongbao he sandwiched, she felt a little satisfied.

He gave another one to Yan Xi, Yan Xi looked at him, and Huo Jin said deeply: "If you like to eat, eat more." ”

Yan Xi frowned slightly, looking at the xiaolongbao, when did she say that she liked to eat, but she didn't want to waste it.

She lowered her head and ate a bite of cloud wonton to relieve her tiredness, and said curiously: "Huo Jinshen, you have been living in Liangcheng, and you haven't tasted Jiangcheng for a long time." Are you used to Jiangcheng now, or are you still in Liangcheng?"

The taste of Jiangcheng is on the light side, while the taste of Liangcheng is on the spicy side.

Huo Jin took a deep look at his bowl of bean curd, and put a spoonful of hot sauce in it. He said, "Liangcheng's." ”

Yan Xi nodded in understanding, he has lived in Liangcheng for so many years, and he is already from Liangcheng.

Huo Jin said deeply: "If you ask me, I will tell you everything." ”

Yan Xi raised his head, and he looked dazed again: "What?"

I heard Huo Jin say deeply: "If two people want to start dating, they should start understanding from the simplest taste preferences." ”

Yan Xi almost fell off the chair, she just chatted casually, did she say that she wanted to understand his preferences?

"Huo Jinshen, I think you may have misunderstood......" Yan Xi wanted to explain, but Huo Jinshen looked at her with a faint smile and said, "You said my name directly, although it is not close enough, but it is already an improvement for the relationship between the two of us." ”

Yan Xi's face couldn't help but turn red, and at the same time he was speechless.

He is clearly forcibly in love!

Before, he only gave people a relationship between them in public, but now, he has begun to infiltrate her life.

"Mr. Huo......"

Before Yan Xi finished speaking, she was interrupted again, Huo Jinshen looked at her seriously at this time and said, "Yan Xi, you are in the emotional window period now, why not try it." ”

After speaking, his expression softened, a little sunshine flashed in his dark eyes, and his voice softened, "Don't you think that the two of us are very compatible?"

In the previous few contacts, including the jade mine, they all cooperated very well, he thought that she understood him, and he was the same. If it's married life, it won't be bad.

He has already given her a lifelong commitment, as for feelings, is it really that important?

Listening to his slow voice, as if with bewitchment, Yan Xi was confused.

She pursed her lips and had to admit that at work, they did fit well. But if you talk about relationships...... She thought of taking her phone in the morning and went into the bathroom......

Is she intrigued?

But she just fell out of love and immediately invested in another relationship, is she too careful?

And this man is still a heartless person, she is thrown into it, not a fisherman and a fish?

But Huo Jin has laid a deep net, and the whole world knows that she is his person, even if someone really likes her, they don't dare to look for her......

Yan Xi thought about it for a while, he was already in a mess, and the spoon he was holding moved the wontons for a while, and at this time, the two dog barks called back Yan Xi's confused thoughts.

The dog ran up to her and barked twice.

Yan Xi didn't understand, and turned his head to look at Huo Jinshen: "What is it going to do?"

Huo Jin said with a deep smile: "King Kong is the mother, you have been staring at me, it is a little jealous." ”

Yan Xi's cheeks suddenly burned as if she was just in a fugue, how could she stare at him.

Huo Jin looked at her deeply, the tips of her ears were red, and the smile on the corners of her lips became even bigger. It's rare to see this always calm and calm woman still blushing.

This made him feel very happy, stood up, and held Yan Xi's wrist with one hand.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Jin said deeply: "I see that you have almost eaten, and King Kong has not eaten yet." ”

At this time, Yan Xi could no longer look directly at the big dog. It's obviously a female dog, what is it called......

Separated by two streets from the teahouse, there is a pet shop, and Yan Xi once sent Yan Bei to vaccinate her cat against rabies.

Two people and a dog, standing in front of the sidewalk waiting for the traffic light. Yan Xi looked at Huo Jinshen and asked again, "You really didn't drive here?"

Huo Jin glanced at her lazily and said, "Is there anything wrong with running seven or eight kilometers?"

Yan Xi touched his ears and was speechless.

Higashiyama is relatively remote, but you can take a taxi when you get to a crowded place. Huo Jinshen also worked hard to have breakfast.

Even if Huo Jinshen is wearing the most ordinary casual clothes, standing in the crowd is also a popular existence, plus there is a majestic big dog beside him, which attracts countless eyes. And when those people saw the girl standing beside him, they showed a look of regret or puzzlement.

Such a cold man, as cold and sacred as a snow-capped mountain, but at the foot of the mountain stood a doll mascot. Although the doll mascot is also cute and eye-catching, it does not match the scenery.

Yan Xi had never been watched so much on the road, and he was uncomfortable, so he suggested curtly: "Otherwise, take my car over." ”

Huo Jin glanced at her deeply, raised her chin to the road in front of her, opened and closed her thin lips, and said, "Don't you know that now is the time to go to work? There are two traffic lights two streets away, how long do you have to wait to drive over?"

Yan Xi looked at the traffic that didn't stop and gave up.

Finally waiting for the green light, Yan Xi hurriedly crossed the street. Huo Jin led the dog and followed her unhurriedly, and stood next to her with two big strides, holding her with big hands.

As soon as the palm was hot, the man's powerful fingers held her, Yan Xi glanced up at him, and Huo Jin said deeply: "When, you are a person who cares about other people's eyes." If so, you're not Yan Xi. ”

Yan Xi pursed her lips sullenly, who said she didn't care about other people's eyes, and why should she bear it because of him?

The man's fingers clenched a little tighter, making Yan Xi feel a slight pain, obviously not wanting her to pull out his hand. I heard the man's deep voice come again: "You just have to think, I found you, you have the capital of pride." ”

Yan Xi felt that the crowded sidewalk was a little wider, and his eyes were a little brighter.

Yes, she didn't miss the envious look when others looked at her just now.

Huo Jinshen is brought out by a man with super good looks, and she is also very face-saving. And such a man, who didn't look for another woman, just targeted her.

Yan Xi had never found out that she still had such vanity, so she quickly put away her thoughts, she was crazy, the two of them had nothing at all, right?

The two walked across the road, the traffic lights switched again, and the traffic surged again. And neither of them noticed, in a car, there was a pair of eyes, staring closely at their clasped hands.

Chu Tianhao never thought that he would see Yan Xi and Huo Jinshen crossing the road hand in hand early in the morning. Moreover, they are a very life-like appearance, not as sharp as in the mall, just a dull breath of life.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his chest felt a pang.

With a drop, a shrill horn sounded behind him, Chu Tianhao glanced back, and when he looked at the opposite road, the two had already disappeared into the crowd.

On the other end, Yan Xi heard the urging sound of the car horn, and glanced back, King Kong didn't like the noisy sound very much, and ran forward by himself, and the pace of the people was faster.

Yan Xi's legs are so long that she can only trot, and she has always disliked running.

"Huo Jinshen, I don't think you should take your dog for a walk in the city center. ”

Huo Jin glanced at her deeply, her lips hooked slightly, and said, "Proper exercise is conducive to improving cardiopulmonary function." ”

Yan Xi: ......

Stopping and going, and finally arriving at the pet store, King Kong went in, smelled the dog food and ran over.

Yan Xi asked directly to the salesman, "Do you have beef-flavored dog food here, do you want it to be good." ”

She thought that with Huo Jinshen's net worth, she would not give the dog a bad meal.

"Hello, yes, miss. The salesman looked at the man leading the dog, his face was shy, and Yan Xi's answer was also absent-minded. Yan Xi glanced back at Huo Jinshen, pursed his lips, and thought to himself, I don't know if I can ask for a discount if I sell his appearance.

Yan Xi coughed lightly and said, "Okay, bring me two packs of ten-pound ones." ”

Yan Xi saw that Yan Bei bought cat food, it was all ten catties a pack, and the dog had a large amount of food, and the two big bags meant almost the same.

The salesman glanced at Huo Jinshen again, and then went to carry the dog food.

Both of them stood and waited, Yan Xi took a casual look in the store, Huo Jinshen glanced at her and said, "Two bags of twenty catties, can you carry them?"

Yan Xi took a feathered cat teasing stick and shook it with interest, and said casually: "You can take a taxi back when you go out, it's very convenient." ”

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart that Yan Bei's cat was very good-looking, and the kitten should also be cute.

Well, she's a person with a cat, and it feels really good.

Huo Jin's deep and faint voice came: "You have a car, you can send me back in a while, what do you want a taxi for." ”

Yan Xi's hand paused, looked at him wordlessly for a few seconds, and then said, "Why should I send you back, I will go directly to the company in a while." ”

Don't think he doesn't know, he's getting an inch.

Huo Jin said deeply: "Because I invited you to breakfast, in addition, it was you who said that next time you go to Kongshan Xinyu with dog food, although the time is in advance, but the meaning has not changed, it is you, bring dog food to me." ”

Yan Xi: ......

Is it really good for a big man to chew on words like this, and he has to take advantage of her in words?

She gritted her teeth and said, "Send you back, if I go to the company again, I will be late." ”

Huo Jin picked a frisbee and said, "With your status in Yiyantang, no one will say anything if you don't go to work." And you are the director of operations, and you are also in charge of the market, and the reason is even more casual. ”

Indeed, she has a lot of customers in contact with, and often goes outside, and she doesn't say anything about the degree of freedom. But Yan Xi still bit the bite and said: "The matter of the jade mine has not yet been settled, I want to behave better on the old man's side, and I don't want to be caught in pigtails." ”

"Don't worry, send me back to Kongshan Xinyu, not only will the old man not be angry, but will let you run over there more. Huo Jinshen put the frisbee back, put his hand in his pocket, and looked at Yan Xi with low eyebrows.

Yan Xihu looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Huo Jin said: "I will have an investment plan in the near future, the beauty industry, the rumors have not spread yet, for the sake of you being my girlfriend, I will reveal it first." ”

He bent down slightly, at eye level with Yan Xi: "This benefit is good, isn't it?"

Yan Xi's heart moved, and before he realized the ambiguous distance between the two, he first thought of making money.

Yiyantang is going to expand, and now is the time when it needs funds.

Yan Xi didn't feel ambiguous yet, but the salesman who came over panting and carrying dog food looked envious and embarrassed.

"Miss, your dog food is here. ”

The salesperson felt that he had really eaten a mouthful of dog food. In order to look at the handsome guy a few more times, she carried two bags of dog food and twenty pounds together, and she had no image of carrying it, and then she saw people standing there refreshingly, which was really depressing.

Why didn't she divide it twice, couldn't it be longer, and she fought so hard to show others that she had a lot of strength?

The two were interrupted, Yan Xi saw the salesman looking at her with envy and resentment in his eyes, and his red face didn't know if he was holding his breath during the transportation just now, or if he was embarrassed to see them so ambiguous.

She smiled awkwardly and walked over to ask, "How much?"

Before the words fell, Huo Jinshen walked over with a few molar bones, tennis balls and other toys, and put them on the business counter: "Together." ”

Yan Xi glared at him secretly, this is a rip-off.

Huo Jin looked at her eyes deeply, rubbed her head with her big hand, and said, "Look at what you picked, the old man gave you less salary?"

Yan Xi shook his hand away and lifted his mouth: "No matter how much money you have, you can't just take it out." ”

The salesman looked at the two bickering, especially the one who touched his head to kill, and the man smiled dotingly, ouch, how good it is to touch her head, it doesn't matter if she touches her bald.

"This dog food is the best we have in our store, along with these toys...... A total of ...... "The salesperson didn't want to be stuffed with dog food anymore, so he pressed it on the calculator and showed the payment code.

When Yan Xi saw the number, the corners of his mouth twitched, this breakfast is so expensive.

She said, "Buy so much, isn't there a discount?"

She remembered that Yan Bei had a membership card for this store, and planned to use Yan Bei's card if the salesperson didn't agree, and by the way, she would help her get points, so that she could redeem it when she bought cat food later.

The salesman glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "No, you have to have a membership card." ”

Tsk, it's stingy when you look at it, what does this handsome guy like about her.

Yan Xi was looked at by her eyes, and suddenly felt a breath of air coming out of her chest, is she a person who lacks dozens or hundreds of yuan?

At that moment, she took out her mobile phone to pay, but Huo Jinshen pressed her mobile phone with a big hand, swiped it herself, and paid the money.

He stuffed the dog leash into Yan Xi's hand: "You take King Kong by the hand, and I'll get the dog food." ”

Clerk:......
