Was coaxing her a big deal? The person on the other end was silent for two seconds. "I think so."
Shuxin lowered her head and drew circles on the ground with the tip of her foot. After a few seconds, she said, "I'm looking at the office building outside. I don't have time."
The person on the other end was silent for two seconds. "… Okay."
Shuxin hung up the phone and felt a little upset for a long time. She took a deep breath and continued to talk to the agent about the house.
It was an hour later when she received Song Li's call again. "Secretary Song."
"I'm waiting for you at your door."
A familiar deep and magnetic voice entered Shuxin's ears. Her beautiful eyes widened in shock. "Fifth … Fifth Uncle …"
"I've prepared lunch. Let's eat together."
"… Okay." Shuxin only realized what she had agreed to when she heard the busy tone from the phone.
Eat lunch together?
At her house?
Why?
Shuxin hurried home and saw Huo Yanqing and Song Li waiting for her at her door.
The two of them, one was a business tycoon and the other was an industry elite.
They were dressed exquisitely and carried themselves calmly. One could tell at a glance that they were different from ordinary people.
Standing in the old corridor, they seemed out of place.
Shuxin took out her keys to open the door. Song Li took the lead and entered the house.
Song Li placed the packed lunch on the small dining table. Then, he placed the things Huo Yanqing had asked him to prepare on the table. When he came out, Shuxin and Huo Yanqing were still standing at the door.
"I still have something to do at the office. I'll be back in an hour to pick up The Fifth Lord. The Fifth Lord is here for the first time, so he's not familiar with the house. I'll have to trouble Miss Shuxin to take care of him during this period." Song Li did not give her a chance to speak and turned to go downstairs.
"You're not going to help me in?" Huo Yanqing asked with a faint smile.
Shuxin came back to her senses and supported Huo Yanqing's arm as they entered the house.
The two of them arrived at the dining room. Shuxin helped Huo Yanqing to a seat and then sat down opposite him. After that, she sat quietly and did not speak.
"Let's eat," Huo Yanqing said calmly.
"Yes." Shuxin secretly looked at Huo Yanqing. The dishes were placed by Song Li, so they should have been placed according to his habits, right?
However, Shuxin was still a little worried. She didn't start eating until she saw Huo Yanqing accurately pick up the food.
Whenever Shuxin saw Huo Yanqing, she would think of the phone call he had picked up when she was sitting in his car yesterday. She felt a burst of pain in her heart, and the food in her mouth tasted like wax.
The atmosphere at the dining table was a little gloomy. The two of them did not speak a word after the meal.
Song Li said that he would pick up Huo Yanqing in an hour. It had only been half an hour, but Shuxin really did not want to be alone with Huo Yanqing.
Shuxin cleared the table and went to Huo Yanqing. "Fifth Uncle, I have something to do. Shall I call a cab for you to go back to the Huo Corporation?"
"Are you chasing me away?" Huo Yanqing frowned slightly.
"No, I wouldn't dare." Shuxin gently bit her lip.
"Why wouldn't you dare?" Huo Yanqing's thin lips faintly curved. "No one dares to refuse my orders. I asked you to go to the Huo Corporation, but you refused. Now that I'm here, you don't even want to see me. Now you're chasing me away. Tell me, aren't you audacious?"
Shuxin lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly. She looked nervous and at a loss. Her voice trembled as she said, "Fifth Uncle … I'm not … I really have something to do …"
Huo Yanqing sighed softly. "I was just joking. How could you be so scared?"
Don't you know how strong your aura is? Also, do you look like someone who jokes casually?
