However, Huo Jingyuan also knew very well in his heart that he wanted to play with Qiao Ruoqing to make Qiao Ruoqing happy, not to block her.

As a result, Huo Jingyuan almost kept releasing water throughout the game, and in the end, although Qiao Ruoqing put a little effort into it, she finally won.

The girl was a little excited, jumped up in front of Huo Jingyuan, raised her hand, and pressed his shoulder, "Look, I just said that I won't lose to you, right?" ”

Knowing in his heart how Qiao Ruoqing won, Huo Jingyuan not only did not expose it, but was also happy, but he didn't show it, just looked at the club in his hand and sighed: "I haven't played for too long, my hand is raw!" ”

Qiao Ruoqing glared at him, "Do you want to admit that it's so difficult for me to progress?" ”

"It's not difficult, it's really improved." Rubbing Qiao Ruoqing's hair dotingly, Huo Jingyuan asked, "Are you still here?" ”

"Next time, otherwise Aunt Tang won't be able to find us in a while, so we should be in a hurry." Qiao Ruoqing said as she put the club back on the shelf.

Huo Jingyuan was not reluctant, and took her downstairs according to her wishes.

Qiao Ruoqing went back to the room to sort out her luggage, and Huo Jingyuan went to the study.

It didn't take long for someone to knock on the door, and then, Xu Wen came in from outside, "Young Master, Miss Wu is here, Sir, please go down." ”

Huo Jingyuan's action of flipping through the book paused.

Miss Wu? Wu Shan?

"Do you know what she's here for?" Huo Jingyuan asked.

"I heard that I came to pay New Year's greetings to my husband and wife." Xu Wen replied.

Huo Jingyuan closed the book and put it back on the shelf.

He hadn't heard Wu Shan say that he was going to come to pay New Year's greetings, but he remembered that he seemed to say that he wanted everyone to get together before the New Year, but Mencius Zhao returned to the imperial capital, so this matter was stopped.

Good and dignified, what year did you come to worship?

Huo Jingyuan was inexplicably a little irritable, but he didn't show anything on his face, and walked out of the study with his feet raised.

I don't know if it's to delay time, he walked down the stairs one by one, slowly, and there was a lazy atmosphere all over his body, which was completely different from when he was usually in the company.

Hearing the footsteps on the stairs, Tang Lan turned around and saw that Huo Jingyuan was the only one, and was slightly stunned, "Huh? Xiaojing, why are you the only one? What about Xiaoqing? ”

"She's back in the room and tidying up." Huo Jingyuan said, sat down next to Mr. Huo, his eyes swept over the pile of gift boxes on the coffee table, and fell on Wu Shan's face without emotion, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt! Didn't you all have to go abroad for the Chinese New Year before? I'm afraid that if you don't come again, you won't be in Jiangcheng, and you won't be able to catch up. After answering Huo Jingyuan's question obediently, Wu Shan asked, "I just heard from my aunt that Miss Qiao is also here?" ”

Just now, Tang Lan only said that Qiao Ruoqing was also there, so Wu Shan naturally thought that Qiao Ruoqing was just like her, just coming to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, Tang Lan and Qiao Ruoqing's mother have a deep friendship, and she has always taken good care of Qiao Ruoqing, and Wu Shan also knows about this.

But just now Huo Jingyuan said, Qiao Ruoqing went back to the room to tidy up things?

This sounds like it's not as simple as coming to visit the New Year.

Could it be that she wants to live here?

Although she had such a guess in her heart, Wu Shan didn't ask that, just asked the question just now.

However, even so, Huo Jingyuan seemed to be a little unhappy.

"She's celebrating the New Year at our house this year." Huo Jingyuan's voice was cold.

He actually wanted Wu Shan to be okay and not have to run here often, after all, their relationship was not so close.

But considering that both parents are there, it seems a bit cruel to say such things to a girl.

So I thought about it and didn't say it.

Wu Shan actually felt Huo Jingyuan's alienation from her, but she acted as if nothing had happened, and instead smiled, "So that's the case." Fortunately, I heard that Qiao's annual meeting was held very successfully last night, and it seems that my aunt also went? ”

"yes." When it came to Qiao's annual meeting, the smile on Tang Lan's face couldn't stop, "Although Xiaoqing, this child is young, but she is very bold in doing things, just like her father back then, she will definitely be bad in the future." ”

While talking, she didn't forget to grab Huo Jiang's hand, "Husband, you said yes?" ”

Huo Jiang almost never refuted Tang Lan's words, and he was indeed more optimistic about Qiao Ruoqing, so he nodded, "Yes, as long as Ruoqing continues to maintain it like this, the Qiao family will have a bright future in the future." ”

The corners of Huo Jingyuan's lips finally raised, and the movement was actually not big, but it was captured by Wu Shan.

This was the first time Huo Jingyuan had laughed since she came over today.

But this smile was not for her, but for Qiao Ruoqing. He was so happy because he heard his parents' praise of Qiao Ruoqing, right?

Or even say, you can be so proud, right?

The unhappiness in Wu Shan's heart continued to accumulate and be suppressed, but at this moment, she couldn't help but want to burst out. Book Bar

When facing her, Huo Jingyuan will always be so cold and indifferent, but as long as it is related to Qiao Ruoqing, he seems to always care so much, whether it is good or bad.

The phone in the side hall rang, Xu Wen picked it up, and after a while, she asked Huo Jiang and Tang Lan to listen to the phone, saying that it was Huo Jiang's old friend calling.

When the two elders left, Wu Shan reluctantly pulled a smile on her lips.

Feeling the cold and alienated aura on Huo Jingyuan's body, she felt very unhappy, and finally asked: "By the way, Jingyuan, I heard Cheng Han say that there is a person named Wei Ran recently, who seems to go to Miss Qiao often, I heard that they are still classmates in college, is there such a thing?" ”

In fact, she also knew in her heart that such words should not be said in front of Huo Jingyuan, but she really couldn't help it.

She couldn't get used to Huo Jingyuan's appearance of caring so much about Qiao Ruoqing, and she couldn't get used to Huo Jingyuan's different expression every time because of Qiao Ruoqing.

Thinking about it, she sighed, "Actually, Miss Qiao is not like what is said outside, her relationship with Wei Ran should be very ordinary, right?" I don't know where those people heard about it, saying that when Miss Qiao and the Song family still had a marriage contract, they ...... with this Wei Ran."

"You say, did you listen to Cheng Han?" Huo Jingyuan interrupted Wu Shan's words, and the aura on his body became even colder.

I had long expected that Huo Jingyuan would speak, but I didn't expect him to ask this, Wu Shan was slightly stunned, and then said, "Yes, I listened to ......"

She seemed to want to explain something, but Huo Jingyuan didn't have the time and patience to listen to her explanation, and said simply: "I don't know, when Cheng Han became so talkative." ”

He didn't say much, and it sounded like a simple statement.

But the meaning inside is very clear: Cheng Han is not a person who talks much, that is to say, Wu Shan's news is simply what she paid attention to and inquired about.

In other words, Wu Shan is just making a fuss about nothing.

Hearing the meaning of Huo Jingyuan's words, Wu Shan was a little aggrieved, "Jingyuan, we have known each other for so long, how can I be the kind of person who has nothing to do?" I'm also worried about Miss Joe. ”

She hung her head, as if she was sad, and sniffed, "I know that you have a good relationship with Miss Qiao, and we also have cooperation with Hua Tian, if something goes wrong with Qiao's or Miss Qiao's reputation, it will not be good for our company." ”

It sounded like she was really thinking about the company for the sake of everything.

She looks like this, she looks like she has been wronged, and men are most likely to be moved when they see it.

But in Huo Jingyuan's opinion, there are only four words.

Huo Jingyuan didn't speak. I still sat as I did before, without even changing my posture.

Wu Shan didn't give up and continued: "I have passed the year-end assessment, so now I am also a regular employee of the Huo family, I will worry that these are also for the company, and there is no other meaning." ”

Leaning towards Huo Jingyuan, Wu Shan's words carried a bit of pleading: "Jingyuan, don't misinterpret what I mean, okay?" ”

Huo Jingyuan didn't know if he had misinterpreted Wu Shan's intentions, but he suddenly remembered something.

Some things that are inconvenient to say to Wu Shan because of their parents' presence can be said now, and there is no need to worry about anything.

Glancing at Wu Shan, Huo Jingyuan quickly turned his gaze away, as if he didn't want to stay on her for a moment at all, "Don't come to the Huo family if you have nothing to do in the future, lest others misunderstand." ”

After speaking, he got up and walked away, leaving Wu Shan alone on the wide sofa in the living room, but even more lonely.

Wu Shan bit her lip.

Misunderstand?

Every time she comes to the Huo family, she has a valid reason, why did others misunderstand?

Moreover, is Huo Jingyuan so afraid that others will misunderstand the relationship between them? So what did Qiao Ruoqing say?

When Qiao Ruoqing came to the Huo family, there were many more than her, right? And...... Now she still lives in the Huo family, what can you say?

Wu Shan's heart was full of grievances, but she couldn't find anyone to tell, and at this time, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing on the stairs.

Raised his eyes and looked over there, it was Qiao Ruoqing.

In an instant, the grievances and resentment on Wu Shan's face were all contained, and she smiled at Qiao Ruoqing, looking extremely friendly, "Miss Qiao, are you here too?" ”

Qiao Ruoqing packed up her things and found Wu Shan sitting there when she came down to look for Huo Jingyuan.

She was still thinking about whether she should go over to say hello first, or wait for Tang Lan or Huo Jingyuan to come over and then go over together, after all, she is not the master here, so it is not good to go over and say hello alone.

But before she could come up with an answer, she heard Wu Shan's voice.

At this time, if you turn around and walk away, it will obviously be even worse!

couldn't dodge, so Qiao Ruoqing went to Wu Shan and sat down, "Miss Wu, when did you come?" Are you here to see Aunt Tang and Uncle Huo? They ......"

"They answered the phone, and I heard it was an old friend calling." Wu Shan intercepted Qiao Ruoqing's words.

Qiao Ruoqing put her mind at ease now, and the strange feeling in her heart disappeared for a moment.

It seems that Huo Jiang and Tang Lan have received Wu Shan, so this is good, so as not to embarrass themselves.

She was still carrying out mental activities, and Wu Shan spoke up again: "By the way, Miss Qiao, why are you here?" ”
