Chen Xi arrived at the dining hall. Li Ai Lin was already seated, and had not seen Huo Si Ming at all. A hint of suspicion flashed across her face, and before she could speak, Li Ai Lin immediately explained, "Your uncle is seeing his old friend outside today. He's not coming back for dinner."
"Oh, okay." Chen Xi laughed. As soon as she sat down, he saw Huo Jing Yan walking over, his Armani suit had already been changed into proper casual clothes, this was also the first time Chen Xi saw him dressed like this.
With a smile, Chen Xi stood up and nodded. She wanted to pull up a chair for Huo Jing Yan to sit on, but unexpectedly, he sat down on the other side of the table.
The smile froze on his face, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
Li Ai Lin anxiously tried to save the situation: "Butler, you can serve the dishes now."
She knew her son's temperament very well, but she didn't want to cause any trouble with the Chen family. After all, they were going to get engaged soon.
The servants served the dishes naturally, and the dining hall became quiet again. Huo Jing Yan only ate the food in front of him, not willing to exchange even a single word with them, even if it was his mother.
However, Li Ai Lin had already gotten used to it, it was just that she was stupid and wanted to ease the atmosphere.
She looked at the colorful pork ribs that were put on Li Ai Lin's plate, and smiled lightly: "Auntie, today you've been tired for a whole day, eat more to nourish your body."
"Mm. Alright."
Chen Xi had always been adjusting the atmosphere, and she could be considered to be cooperating with him. However, no matter what she said, Huo Jing Yan always treated her words as air, and completely ignored her.
Chen Xi played with the rice in her bowl. While laughing and talking, she suddenly stopped talking and was about to get engaged. Huo Jing Yan's attitude towards her was still the same, making her feel a little sad.
The atmosphere instantly froze. Li Ai Lin drank a mouthful of tea to moisturize herself, then looked at Huo Jing Yan, acting as if it was nothing special, and said: "The two of you are getting engaged next week, and the dress will be delivered in two days for you to try on. Chen Xi, if you have any requests, directly tell Auntie, do you understand?"
Li Ai Lin's voice was getting louder and louder, purposefully saying it for Huo Jing Yan to hear, but the handsome guy still did not have any reaction, while Chen Xi's eyes lit up, looking as though she wished for nothing more than to take care of this matter.
"Auntie, my dress will definitely be fine. It's just up to Jing Yan." She was only thinking of Huo Jing Yan. Seeing that Huo Jing Yan still had no reaction, she tried to save the situation by herself again, "Then is the place we chose still the Coral Inn from before?"
"No, no, no. The location is at the Hai Xin Hotel." Li Ai Lin replied.
No matter where it was, Chen Xi didn't care. The key point was that Huo Jing Yan was the main character.
After waiting for so many years, she was finally about to witness this moment.
But just then, with a bang, Huo Jing Yan's chopsticks were placed on the plate, he stood up: "I'm full."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out, not caring about the two people behind him who had an awkward expression on their faces.
Li Ai Lin looked at Chen Xi, in order to avoid the awkwardness, she immediately shouted at Huo Jing Yan: "Son, remember to send Chen Xi back home."
's face was filled with anticipation as he waited for Huo Jing Yan to turn his head. However, he did not expect to only hear the cold words: "What do you want the driver for? I'm not free! "
Chen Xi really wanted to say, then why would I marry you? Are you so free?
She really did not expect Huo Jing Yan's attitude towards her to be like this, even a fool could see that he did not like her at all. Whether it was interest or sex appeal, he did not have a single point.
But why marry him?
Of course Huo Jing Yan wouldn't tell them about this reason.
In these past three years, he had been busy and did not forget to take revenge. Even agreeing to be engaged with Chen Xi was only a method to take revenge on that woman.
He wouldn't let her off easy, and he definitely wouldn't want to see her off easy!
When he passed by the children's room, Huo Jing Yan's footsteps paused for a moment. Pushing open the door, he found not a single sound.
The next minute, the little guy placed two sofas on either side of his bed. Although his actions didn't seem to be in love, it was actually a deep love.
Walking to the next room, he casually picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, then snuggled into the sofa. To Huo Jing Yan, although he did not lack anything, what he lacked the most was rest.
The television slowly turned on, and what entered his eyes was Ye Zi Xuan's advertisement, a shampoo, and that long straight and soft black hair that had once scattered onto his arm.
He did not want to see this woman at all, so he changed channels, but he was still Ye Zi Xuan.
F * ck! Was it really that all-pervasive?
Now you're a darling of the advertising world, aren't you?
The wide blue crystal screen was showing the spokesperson Ye Zi Xuan had made for the cosmetics in China. Her skin was as fair as three years old, but the smile on her face made him feel unfamiliar.
That gaze caused his heart to feel ice-cold, and Huo Jing Yan could not help but let out a cold laugh: "It seems that, right now, I am no longer able to filter out your news."
These few years, the news about Ji Hao Chuan and his relationship with Ye Zi Xuan had always been spread outside, and every time Huo Jing Yan heard it, he would definitely glare at that person.
If looks could kill, Huo Jing Yan would definitely be sentenced to death!
After several days of fatigue, he turned off the television, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes. All these years, he had been living a very tired life.
Downstairs, after Chen Xi exchanged a few words with Li Ai Lin, he could only get the driver to take her back. Out of courtesy, Chen Xi did not show her displeasure on his face, but her heart was slightly in pain.
Could it be that when he returned to his parents' home, he would have to be escorted by a driver, so he wouldn't be free either?
Huo Family was not really close to the Chen family. Chen Xi was always looking out of the window with pain in her eyes. She squinted her eyes and asked gently: "Has young master been busy recently? Why can't I see anyone? "
"Eh?" The driver suddenly heard a voice that startled him for a moment, and then said: "Second Young Master is not too bad, it's just that a few stores under the group are about to open, Second Young Master will frequently go back and forth to inspect them."
"Are you always here to pick me up?"
"Yes, Miss Chen."
The driver's words were simple but they entered Chen Xi's ears, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
She would rather Huo Jing Yan really be busy and not have the time to send her off, but if he wasn't busy and wasn't willing, then what was he? There were so many famous young ladies. If they didn't like him, they could have gone to find him. Why did they choose him?
She didn't deny that being able to marry Huo Jing Yan made her very excited, but speaking of happiness, she really couldn't feel it.
