for the next few days, chen did not return to the winery, but the chef still invited her over in a different way.

huo xiwen had spent a very comfortable time in the winery, and the wounds on her feet were almost healed.

this morning, she felt that her injuries had mostly healed. considering that she had left home for a period of time, she asked old li to take her leave.

old li let her eat lunch, and at noon, chen yanzhuo, who hadn't shown up for a few days, appeared.

looking at huo xiwen, who was feeding the chicks lunch in the yard with flat shoes, under the sunlight, her body seemed to be covered with a layer of faint gold.

"is your body fully recovered?" he asked, coming up behind her.

hearing his voice, huo xiwen immediately turned around, and asked with a surprised expression, "why are you here?"

"i heard from old li that you're almost fully recovered and ready to go home. as your 'boyfriend', how could i not send you home?" there was a smile on chen yanzhuo's face, and his eyes were filled with gentleness.

huo xiwen knew that he was joking, and was suddenly afraid of his brain. he then remembered, "aiya, i forgot about it. my mommy always thought that we were together."

"it's okay, i remember." "i like them so much," chen said, looking at the bowl in her hand and the little chicken on the ground. "do you want to take them home?"

"ah?" they? are you kidding me? " the corner of huo xiwen's mouth twitched slightly.

she could imagine what it would be like when she brought these little chicks home.

chen yanzhuo smiled, then looked at the sun in the sky. at this time, the sun was hot in the sky, and huo xiwen's forehead was now covered in sweat, "go inside the house after you're done feeding. don't stand under the sun for too long."

as soon as he said that, huo xiwen felt her face turn red. she immediately put down the bowl of food in her hands, turned around, and walked out of the courtyard, entering the house with huo yuhao.

in the dining hall, lunch was already prepared. old li was currently ordering the dishes in the kitchen.

because it was huo xiwen's luncheon, the people in charge of taking care of huo xiwen were all invited to take their seats. everyone sat down neatly at the dining table, leaving two main seats for huo xiwen and chen yanzhuo.

after a short speech of thanks, huo xiwen raised his gla.s.s and everyone began to drink.

this meal was very enjoyable. huo xiwen drank quite a bit of alcohol during the meal, so she naturally fell drunk once again due to the alcohol being too strong for her.

when she woke up, she found herself in chen yanzhuo's car, which was parked in the shade of a tree not far from the door of the huo family villa.

"you're awake?" seeing her open her eyes, chen yanzhuo looked at her.

huo xiwen touched his own cheek a little embarra.s.sedly, "i seem to have drank too much again."

"i thought you didn't know your alcohol tolerance." chen looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt.

knowing that he was mocking himself for not being able to drink, huo xiwen immediately explained, "everyone has worked hard to take care of this patient of mine. how could i not drink the wine they've offered?"

"that's a good excuse." chen yanzhuo nodded.

"it's not an excuse. alright, stop talking about me. i'm already awake. i didn't sleep long, did i? what time is it? " huo xi wen said as he reached for his phone to check the time.

"not long ago. it's only four-thirty in the afternoon." chen yanzhuo said.

"ah?" "then you have been guarding me here all this time?" huo xiwen felt that this was somewhat unbelievable.

"otherwise? send you home drunk as a cat? " chen yanzhuo asked with a smile.

"no, i mean, you wasted an entire afternoon because of me. actually, you can just leave me at the winery. when i wake up, you can let little du take me home." huo xiwen scratched his head in embarra.s.sment.

"i don't want to be misunderstood by your mother. i didn't want to kidnap her daughter away for so long, but in the end i let you go home alone." chen opened the door, got out, and then went around to the pa.s.senger side to open the door for her.

huo xiwen got off the car and saw that chen yanzhuo had already walked to the trunk and brought several gift boxes over.

"what is this?" huo xiwen asked with a strange expression on his face.

"aren't we travelling abroad? how can you not present your aunt with a gift? " chen yanzhuo said as he glanced at the direction of the huo mansion, "let's go. i've already called my aunt and told her that we will be back in the afternoon. she must be very anxious."

huo xiwen was slightly surprised. just how many things had this guy done behind his back?

speaking of which, chen yanzhuo's considerate and caring character was indeed quite likeable.

it was as if she didn't have to worry about anything when she was with him.

unfortunately, she already had an irreplaceable fu muyun in her heart, and he already had her own lover.

however, having such a friend was also a very fortunate thing.

"when my mom sees you, she might ask you some weird questions. you have to hold on." huo xiwen warned him.

"i'm looking forward to what she will ask me." chen yanzhuo didn't seem to care at all. on the contrary, he looked very excited.

upon seeing this, a dark cloud hung over huo xiwen's head, "i wonder why you're so agitated."

as the two of them spoke, they had already reached the villa's door. when the servant opened it, he saw mrs. huo walk out from the house with a face full of joy. "xi wen, you came back."

"h.e.l.lo, auntie." chen took a few steps forward and greeted her.

mrs. huo looked at chen yanzhuo, who was standing in front of her. she smiled and said, "yanzhuo, you're here. hurry and go inside."

huo xiwen felt gooseb.u.mps all over his body when he heard his mother call him so "affectionately" and "pa.s.sionately".

and looking at chen yanzhuo's performance, he seemed to like being addressed as such. he didn't seem to be used to it at all.

"aunt, i'm sorry. i didn't tell you before, but i took xi wen overseas. this is a little gift we brought back from our travels abroad, i hope you like it." chen yanzhuo said as he handed the item in his hand to the butler at the side.

mrs. huo smiled. "from now on, we are family. there is no need to be so polite."

"since we are family, then i should be filial to you." chen yanzhuo said with a smile.

this made mrs. huo happier, and her eyes curved in amus.e.m.e.nt.

huo xiwen felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to their conversation, especially the words from chen yanzhuo.

this guy really knew how to put on an act. if it wasn't for the fact that he was very clear on his background, he would have really mistaken him for someone with ulterior motives.

after entering the room, she sat down on the sofa. after the servant served tea, mrs. huo pulled her daughter along and looked around. "xiwen, it seems like you have been well taken care of these days. you've gained weight."
