Chapter XXVII, The Gift

"What do you think of my grandfather?"

Huo Jiyun asked while driving.

"Grandpa Huo, very kind, very good." That's what you see, Huo Jiyun silently added a sentence in his heart.

"Think about my proposal for the day." There was a sudden silence in the car.

After a while, Xuan Jixi plucked up the courage and said euphemistically: "Huo Shao, I thank you very much for your kindness, but now, I don't want to think about that." I'm sorry. ”

"Three months!"

"Ahh I looked at him inexplicably.

"My grandfather gave me three months to pursue you." Xuan Zhen was speechless for a while. It can also be said that she was shocked, what did the grandfather and grandson think.

Isn't marriage a big event like each other? A chaebol as big as them, some of them are famous daughters to choose from, why is it her? Xuan Zhen was puzzled. Is it because of your luck?

"My grandfather was very demanding, and he was even more discerning in choosing his granddaughter-in-law. He takes a fancy to you because you feel good about him. "What about yourself? Aren't modern people particular about free love? It's not the ancient times, the words of the matchmaker, the life of the parents. Xuan Ji couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Huo Shao, are you willing to accept a loveless marriage yourself?" Xuan Zhen bit his lip and said.

Huo Jiyun actually laughed.

"Loveless marriage? Why do you think we're going to be loveless? "Isn't it? Does he like her? Xuan Zhen didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to answer at will. Silently staring at the air ahead, he didn't dare to breathe. It was warm in the carriage, but Xuan felt cold.

didn't hear her words, Huo Jiyun was not in a hurry, and went all the way to the gate of the Cherishing Blessing Courtyard. Xuan Zhen wanted to get out of the car, but his arm was pulled!

"Wait! This is my gift to you, please accept it. A gift box suddenly appeared, Xuan Zhen was stunned, and did not pick it up as soon as possible.

"This is my first time giving a gift to a girl, so please don't say no. It will be faceless. Looking at him in astonishment, Xuan Zhen regretted that he finally took the gift box. Huo Jiyun's eyes were very serious, not like he was joking at all.

Xuan Zhen took the box with regret, but there was a feeling of admiration for him in his heart. Giving a gift is still expressionless, and it is the first time she has met it.

"Thank you, I'll return the favor." I regret it when I say it! This is not a gift to each other, an exchange of affection.

Huo Jiyun smiled.

"Then I look forward to your return gift, goodbye." Back at the Cherishing House, Xuan Ji put the gifts away first, and then went to the children's rooms to check. Xiaoding graduated, and instead of rushing to find a job, he lived in a welfare home. Xuan Ji cherished the kind of consideration for her to work here and provide a salary.

"Sister Ruoxi, you're back."

"Are they okay?"

"Well, some have slept, some haven't. But that's pretty much it. ”

"Thank you Xiaoding, I'm much more relieved to have you."

"Sister Ruoxi, don't say that, it's too late for me to thank you, if you hadn't taken me in with you and the old dean, I don't know if I would have graduated." Xiaoding is a country girl, her family is not very good, but she is kind-hearted. She was diligent and hardworking, and Dean Xuan sponsored her at the beginning, so that she had a good college career. For this, she also knows how to be grateful.

"Xiaoding, I plan to hire you to work in the welfare home, I don't know if you want to? Of course, if you have a suitable job in the future, I will not interfere with your stay or stay. As for the treatment, I will buy insurance for you in accordance with the relevant provisions of the labor law. ”

"Sister Ruoxi, don't say it, I promise you. I am willing to stay and help you. Besides, I also like the kids, who are already familiar with me. If someone else comes, I'm not at ease. As for the treatment, you just look at it, it's all covered. I don't need insurance, and I don't have to follow any labor laws. ”

"Okay, I'll sign the contract for you tomorrow."

"Sister Ruoxi, don't worry, I will tell my family, my parents, grandparents, and grandparents must also agree. They knew that the House had been kind to me. I promise that the House will be my home from now on. Sister Ruoxi, you are my sister. ”

"Okay, you'll be my sister from now on." Xuan Zhen really likes this girl.

They embraced each other and rejoiced.

After that day, Xuan Ji could receive messages or phone calls from Huo Jiyun every day.

Huo Jiyun is very busy, but he will also take the time to come to the welfare house to have a look, and by the way, he will date her for dinner.

Just like now, they sit in the restaurant, and they are still silent to each other during the meal, until the CD, they look at each other and smile tacitly.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"I'm full."

"Today is the eighth day, and it's the fifth time we've seen each other since we last agreed." Xuan Zhen regretted not understanding what he meant. It wasn't until she saw some kind of hint in her eyes that she remembered it in hindsight.

His face turned red, "Well, that, I'm not ready yet." Huo Jiyun looked at her embarrassed expression, did not smile, nor did he look away, but waited with his hands folded. It's like a lawyer who is negotiating, as if waiting for a witness's statement.

"I'll be ready tomorrow." Xuan Zhen is like a prisoner waiting to be released.

"Okay then, tomorrow you will be sent directly to the Huo Building. That's all for tonight, and I'll send you back. Huo Jiyun said that the person had already stood up.

"Oh, good." Xuan Jixi hurriedly got up, feeling very embarrassed, but he didn't do what he promised.

Huo Jiyun glanced at her lightly, his slender fingers buttoned the suit buttons, and his long figure made Xuan Ji feel depressed.

Is he angry?

After sending Xuan Jixi back to the welfare home, Huo Jiyun returned to the villa.

The old man had already rested, and only Mother Wu was waiting for him to come back in the living room.

"Young master, you're back."

"Well, Mom Wu, good night."

"Good night, young master." She is a live-in nanny and has been in the Huo family for seven or eight years.

Huo Jiyun slowly went upstairs, walked into his bedroom, went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and came to the computer desk in his pajamas. turned on the electric disturbance, but it was unprecedentedly stunned. In his mind, he was at a loss and depressed just now. couldn't help frowning, was he too tight to mark people? Or - too ungentle. This can't be blamed on him, for love, he has never been in touch.

Growing up, he either read or studied. When he was in school, there were also girls who chased him and wrote him love letters, but he never cared about them. For one, he felt that he didn't have time to fall in love. Second, the strict family education made him dare not fall in love.

In the face of girls, he has never blushed and his heart beats.

After his parents left, he closed himself off even more. In life, in addition to going to school, reading and studying, or going abroad for further study. Otherwise, it's to accompany grandpa in business. Over the years, it is not that there have been no women around him. It's a pity that he stayed away. So much so that the old man was worried that he was too innocent and not close to women.

Blind dates are not uncommon, and there are not a few confessions in the face of female colleagues or female friends. It's just that he is so focused on his work that he has no intention of falling in love. There was a time when Master Huo thought he had a fetish with Yu Shaoqing. deliberately found Yu Shaoqing to confront him face to face, but fortunately, Yu Shaoqing is a well-known playboy. Master Huo was relieved.

Over time, I look almost thirty years old, and I don't have a girlfriend yet.

Old Man Huo couldn't wait, and it just so happened that Xuan Zhen regretted appearing.

It's not love at first sight, and it's not very exciting. In short, she was the first woman who made him not disgusted, and the first woman who made him curious and willing to give it a try.

She is very beautiful, not the kind of beauty that is very charming, nor the kind of beauty that is very ostentatious, but the kind of fresh and refined beauty that people will never forget. A girl in her twenties has the maturity of a woman in her thirties and forties. The calmness between the eyebrows is also just right. In addition to her external temperament and beautiful appearance, she is also a good woman on the inside. Between the gestures, there is an indescribable and indescribable elegance!

He wondered why she had such a bearing at such a young age. The more curious he became, the more he wanted to get closer to her. For the first time, he heard his own heartbeat at a member of the opposite sex.

Xuan Zhenxi, will you be my destined other half? What gift would she give him? And his gifts, did she see them? The heart moved at will, and as soon as the thought came out, the message on the mobile phone was sent out.

As soon as Xuan Jixi took a shower and went to bed, he heard the sound of his mobile phone vibrating, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Huo Jiyun's message.

[If you regret it, do you like the gift I gave you? Present! Xuan Zhen got out of bed to look for a gift, and when she came back that night, she seemed to have put it in the cabinet in the living room, and she hadn't seen what it was. Because I was in a hurry to go down the stairs, I accidentally twisted my bare foot.

"Shhh A pain, intent, came from the bare foot.

She covered her feet and rubbed them a few times, then hurried to find a gift.

Finally found the gift box in the cabinet. Secretly scolded himself for being careless, and he didn't even see it! Fortunately, he didn't ask in the past few days, otherwise he would be really sorry for others.

When I returned to the room, I opened the gift box, and it was a watch. The royal blue strap and movement, several small crystals inlaid in the movement, and the silver long and short hour and second hands are fashionable and valuable at a glance.

hurriedly sent a message to reply: [Huo Shao, your gift is so valuable, I shouldn't accept it. After the message was sent, she leaned against the head of the bed and stared blankly at her watch. It is very beautiful and distinctive, and when she wears it on her wrist, her fair complexion looks dazzling.

Women are the ones who please themselves, she is a woman, and she naturally likes beautiful things. In her previous life, as a queen, she had never seen any rare treasures, but in modern times, she was even more impressed by the modern design concept.

Watches, at that time, did not have any, and the time was seen by budget light or the calendar left by the ancestors. The five elements of gossip, astronomy and geography, passed down from generation to generation, everything is different. There is no bad, only better.

Huo Jiyun looked at the time, and fifteen minutes had passed between the time he sent the message and the time Xuan Ji replied. Obviously, she must not have looked at the gift before. When I see it tonight, I will say that the watch is expensive! This woman, he felt his heart beat a little faster. Curiosity about her gradually turns into exploration!
