Shuxin suppressed the throbbing in her heart and called out to Fu Zhengyao obediently, "Uncle Yao."
Fu Zhengyao nodded at Shuxin and was about to say something when Fu Zhilei interrupted him. "Dad, I don't like her. Let her go."
Fu Zhengyao glanced at Huo Yanqing without batting an eyelid. Seeing that his eyes had turned cold, he turned his head and chided Fu Zhilei coldly, "Go upstairs!"
Fu Zhilei's eyes reddened instantly. She looked at Huo Yanqing pitifully and called out softly, "Yanqing …"
Huo Yanqing's eyes were handsome and his expression was cold. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and he had no intention of speaking at all.
Fu Zhilei was so angry that she almost bit her lower lip. She glared at Shuxin fiercely with her teary eyes and turned to go upstairs.
When had Huo Yanqing ever had a female friend?
Moreover, from his expression just now, it was obvious that he was very protective of the girl beside him.
Fu Zhengyao could not help but look at Shuxin again. He smiled and said to her, "My daughter is naughty and mischievous. May I … May I know how to address you, Miss?"
"My surname is Shu. Uncle Yao, you can just call me Shuxin," said Shuxin with a smile.
Fu Zhengyao smiled apologetically. "I've spoiled Leilei too much. Please forgive me, Miss Shu."
Shuxin smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was fine.
Fu Zhengyao exchanged a few more pleasantries before leading the two of them into the dining room.
The rectangular dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes. Shuxin sat on Huo Yanqing's right.
Fu Zhengyao instructed the housekeeper, "Serve Little Five some food."
Huo Yanqing refused. "No need." He turned to Shuxin and said, "Xin 'er, you do it."
"… Okay." Hearing Huo Yanqing call her Xin 'er, Shuxin's heartbeat quickened uncontrollably. She picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the food, only to find that she didn't know what Huo Yanqing liked to eat. She blushed and approached Huo Yanqing and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wu, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything lighter is fine."
Fu Zhengyao was already shocked when Huo Yanqing asked Shuxin to serve the dishes. Now, he was even more shocked when he saw the two of them whispering into each other's ears intimately.
Huo Yanqing, who never allowed women to get close to him, was actually so close to a girl. This was too unusual!
It seemed that Shuxin had a special place in Huo Yanqing's heart.
Fu Zhengyao couldn't help but take a few more glances at Shuxin. He thought for a while and asked Huo Yanqing tentatively, "Little Five, have you thought about the big thing in your life?"
Shuxin's hand that was holding the chopsticks paused when she heard Fu Zhengyao's question. Her heart suddenly tightened as she waited quietly for Huo Yanqing's answer.
Huo Yanqing's voice was calm. "No hurry."
He wasn't in a hurry. This meant that he had someone in his heart, but he wasn't in a hurry to get married.
Although Shuxin already knew from Song Li that Huo Yanqing had someone in his heart, hearing him admit it with her own ears hurt even more. It was as if someone had torn her heart apart, and the pain was excruciating.
Shuxin's eyes were a little dry and sore, and she felt very uncomfortable. Looking at the delicacies in front of her, she didn't have the slightest appetite. However, she endured it and forced herself to eat. She didn't want anyone to notice that something was wrong with her, and she didn't want Huo Yanqing to be alone.
Fu Zhengyao saw that Huo Yanqing didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions. He only asked Shuxin and Huo Yanqing to eat.
Fu Zhilei didn't go downstairs after the meal.
After the meal, Fu Zhengyao and Huo Yanqing drank tea and chatted for a while. They talked about military and political matters. Shuxin didn't understand, so she just obediently accompanied them.
After drinking tea, Huo Yanqing said that he wanted to go back.
