Huo Lianqing held her long skirt as she dragged Umbo through the shelves of the supermarket. From time to time, there would be people peeking at them. It seemed that An Bowen wasn't used to this sort of environment. Huo Lianqing held his hand tightly and smiled sweetly at him.

"Wait a moment." Huo Lianqing let go of Umbo's hand and walked towards the entrance.

After a short while, Huo Lianqing came over with a cart. Huo Lianqing handed the cart to Amber and went to pick the ingredients herself. After choosing one, he placed it in the car. As he walked, he picked the items to place in the car.

He had never done anything like this before, much less push a shopping cart in a supermarket. Huo Lianqing walked quite a distance away. She felt that An Bowen wasn't following her, so she turned around to see that he was still slowly pushing the car in a very comical manner. Huo Lianqing came back with a smile and took the car.

"Let me do it." Her casual look was more lovable, more intimate.

When the two of them returned home, it was already the wee hours of the morning. An Bowen was carrying a large bag of ingredients as he walked into the main hall. Aunt Wang was dozing off in the middle of the hall, waiting for Ann Bowen and Huo Ruqing.

"Sir, have you had dinner yet? I told them to hurry up and prepare dinner. " When Aunt Wang was about to call for someone, Umbo stopped her.

"Aunt Wang, you should go to sleep. We can make our own."

Nodding, she turned around and went back to her room to rest. An Bowen put all the ingredients into the kitchen. Huo Lianqing went upstairs to change clothes, but she didn't know where she found a floral apron to put on.

"Do you want me to help you?" An Bowen asked with a smile as he looked at Huo Lianqing's expression.

"No!" You just need to taste it later. " After saying that, Huo Lianqing started to move her hands. She carefully cut the food with her slender fingers as she lowered her head with rapt attention. She cut the cabbage into thin pieces and placed them on a plate on one side. They were going to make seafood noodles, with red carrots and pale green cabbage.

She prepared herself just as carefully. The pot of water was already boiling by the side. She would tilt her head to the side, and the hair by her ear would fall out. An Bowen slowly walked behind her and gently wrapped his arm around her waist. Huo Lianqing was stunned for a moment. Her body stiffened for a moment before she started to chat with him very naturally. The water in the pot had already started boiling.

He put the ingredients in one by one and then scooped up the noodles. He poured the prepared broth over the noodles, making it look fresh and tasty. Two bowls of Wu Dong's Noodle Soup were placed on the table. Huo Lianqing sat down beside Ambrose intentionally. Only when she ate like this would she have any mood to eat Wu Dong's Noodle Soup.

"How is it? You can try it and see if it's edible. "

An Bowen picked up a strand of noodles and placed it in his mouth. He chewed on it carefully and then nodded in satisfaction.

"I didn't expect you to really do it. Who did you learn it from?"

"My mom. My mom really knows how to make noodles." As she talked about her mother, Huo Lianqing's expression dimmed a bit. However, An Bowen was keenly aware of it.

After finishing the noodles, Huo Lianqing wanted to clean up the kitchen.

"Forget it, we'll just let them do it tomorrow. It's better if they rest early." His face was so close to hers that it seemed he was about to touch it, but there was still the faint smell of alcohol on him. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, and her head rested on his shoulder. Through the thin layer of clothing, he could feel each other's body temperature and a clear heartbeat.

"Lianqing …" He whispered into her ear. Huo Lianqing felt her body tremble. Then, he hugged her even tighter. His face gently caressed her tender skin.

Huo Lianqing clearly knew what was going to happen as she felt his breathing slowly turn heavier. Furthermore, he must have drank a lot tonight. Under such circumstances … After an unknown period of time, An Bowen actually managed to pick up Huo Lianqing. His face was boiling, and even his breathing was burning.

Huo Lianqing put her arms around his neck, but a trace of nervousness was hidden in her heart. However, to her surprise, Umbo actually carried her all the way back to her room. Was he going to be here? An Bowen gently placed Huo Lianqing on the bed, but her body didn't move at all as she stuck close to her.

"Sleep well, my princess." As she spoke, she gave Huo Lianqing a light kiss on her face.

Looking at the departing figure of Amber's back, Huo Lianqing took a deep breath. She didn't know if she should rejoice or feel pity. When he returned to his room, he immediately changed out of his clothes and went into the bathroom. He stood under the shower and let the water wet his clothes, sticking them to his body.

Her mind was filled with the image of her that she could not get rid of. That sweet red glow on the street late at night was like a peony looking elegant and graceful with its charm. After the shower, he drank two glasses of red wine before feeling sleepy. When he woke up the next day, it was already noon. He felt unwell in the middle of the night. It turned out that he had a fever.

When he got up, he felt his body was sore and his head was a little dizzy. When he went out, Huo Lianqing was in the yard and smiled brightly when she saw him coming out.

"To the company?" That was because Huo Lianqing saw that he was wearing formal attire and was tidying up his sleeves and collar as he walked.

"Well, there's going to be a meeting in the afternoon. What are you doing at home? " Right now, the two of them were like lovers that had reached the stage of love. Their tone were both very gentle. An Bowen walked over and gave Huo Lianqing a light hug.

"Your noodles are delicious." An Bowen said as he gave Huo Lianqing a light hug.

Huo Lianqing blankly stared at the car as it sped away. She lightly smiled at him before turning around and entering. It was boring to be alone at home. Huo Lianqing decided to take a stroll around the city, which was a good way to pass the time. After changing his clothes, he walked out the door. The moment he walked out, he saw that the driver of the car was standing outside.

"Miss Huo, are you going out? I'll send you off. " As she spoke, she opened the door of a Maserati car. Huo Lianqing was stunned for a moment.

"You … "Isn't this …" Huo Lianqing pointed at the car in front of her.

"It was sir's order. This car is for Miss Huo to use. I'll be your driver." The driver said to Huo Lianqing with a smile.

Huo Lianqing sat in the back seat, her mood distant.

In a specialty store

"Miss Huo, where did we not meet in life? I didn't expect to see Miss Huo here. " Huo Lianqing turned around and saw a woman wearing a dark green short skirt standing behind her. It was Lisa. She was looking at her with a measuring gaze.

"So it's you, why? "I'm so bored, why would I go shopping alone?" Huo Lianqing didn't pay much attention to her. She had interacted with her many times, but Lisa still kept pestering her.

"I'm bored and alone. Miss Huo is in a good mood right now. Can I have a cup of coffee with you?"

"I'm not familiar with you." Huo Lianqing said coldly as she turned around to leave.

"If I know Amboise well, would you listen to me?" Huo Lianqing smiled contemptuously and turned to leave.

"If you don't listen to me, you will definitely regret it. Your fate in the future will not be any better than mine!" Li Sha shouted from behind Huo Lianqing.

"How good can the advice of a man who has a bad end be? Why did you get left behind if you had the ability? " Huo Lianqing said with a light snort.

"Don't be too happy too early, I will let you know my power!" Lisa continued to say angrily.

"Do whatever you want. If you have any ideas, just use them. I'll do it!"

Huo Lianqing took a few sets of clothes and entered the fitting room. When she came out, Lisa had already disappeared without a trace. A trace of a sneer appeared on the corner of Huo Lianqing's mouth.
