Song Li took off his disposable gloves and walked towards the door.
When he opened the door and saw Shu Xin, a smile immediately appeared on Song Li's face. Speak of the devil. "Miss Shu, you're here. The Fifth Lord is eating. He hasn't eaten yet, right? You can go in first. I'll ask the customer service to send lunch up."
Song Li had already walked out of the room. He smiled and gestured for Shu Xin to enter.
Song Li was too enthusiastic, so Shu Xin didn't want to turn him down. She said politely, "Thank you."
Shu Xin entered the room. Huo Yanqing was sitting at the dining table and eating. His movements were elegant and pleasing to the eye. Shu Xin greeted him obediently. "Fifth Uncle."
"Mm," Huo Yanqing responded softly. The corners of his mouth curved slightly. "Have a seat."
Shu Xin sat down opposite Huo Yanqing. She felt that Huo Yanqing was a little different today, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Does Fifth Uncle know that Tong Wenbin's case has been closed?"
"Yes."
"Was Fifth Uncle the one who gave Chief of Staff the information about Du Guohua's corruption and bribery?"
"Yes."
It was indeed him.
Shu Xin was silent for a moment. "Thank you, Fifth Uncle."
Huo Yanqing put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin. His thin lips curved into a charming smile and he said gently, "What are you thanking me for?"
Shu Xin finally knew what was wrong with Huo Yanqing. He had been smiling ever since she entered the room. Didn't he know that he was extremely good-looking when he smiled?
How was she supposed to say anything? She couldn't say anything just by looking at his smile.
Shu Xin shifted her gaze away from Huo Yanqing's face with difficulty and lowered her head. "Thank you, Fifth Uncle, for clearing Tong Wenbin's name. Thank you, Fifth Uncle, for providing strong evidence at the critical moment and punishing Du Guohua, the corrupt official. It's really satisfying."
"Yes." Huo Yanqing paused for a moment, then asked, "How do you want to thank me?"
"Ah?" Shuxin couldn't react. She raised her head and looked at Huo Yanqing in a daze.
"Don't tell me it's just empty words?" The smile on Huo Yanqing's lips slowly spread. He leaned his slender body leisurely against the back of the chair. He looked mature and steady with a languid style.
This kind of Huo Yanqing was too lethal.
Shuxin was stunned and forgot to answer.
Huo Yanqing didn't hear Shuxin's answer, so he said, "Isn't it too insincere to just say that?"
Shuxin blinked and came back to her senses. She stroked her pounding chest and looked down. She had never expected that Huo Yanqing would ask her to thank him. He was rich and powerful and didn't lack anything. How could she thank him? She couldn't possibly repay him with her body, right?
The next second …
"How about you repay me with your body?" Huo Yanqing's deep voice was tinged with a hint of joking.
Shuxin was so scared that she almost fell off the chair. She stared at Huo Yanqing with wide eyes in disbelief. Had her Fifth Uncle been replaced today?
Not only did he keep smiling at her, but he also made such a scary joke with her.
It must have been swapped out by someone else!
Shuxin carefully looked at Huo Yanqing for a moment. He was indeed the incomparably handsome Fifth Uncle. What exactly went wrong?
Ah!
Suddenly, Shuxin thought of a possibility. She asked in a low voice, "Fifth Uncle, are you having a fever again?"
Huo Yanqing's smile instantly froze on his face. He supported his forehead with his hand and awkwardly pinched between his eyebrows.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"I'll open the door." Shuxin got up to open the door. It was Song Li.
