"have you received the tea leaves?" chen yanzhuo's voice came over the phone, warm, deep and full of magnetism.

every time huo xiwen heard this voice, he couldn't help but think of fu muyun. he felt that the person speaking on the other end of the phone was fu muyun.

"yes, i did." "no," she replied.

"since you've received the tea leaves, shouldn't you fulfill what you promised me?"

"now? but didn't you say yesterday that it was tonight's dinner? " huo xiwen asked.

"his plans have changed. mr. shi said that he had other important matters to attend tonight and might not be able to attend the dinner. so he decided to treat him to lunch at the last minute." chen yanzhuo said.

"is that so? alright then, just tell me the address and i'll be there at noon." huo xiwen didn't think too much into it, and could only agree.

"i'll send it to you on your cell phone." chen yanzhuo said and hung up.

after putting down his phone, huo xiwen heaved a sigh of relief.

compared to pretending to be his girlfriend at the dinner party, it would naturally be better if he could resolve the issue at noon.

"looks like i'm going to have lunch alone this afternoon." mrs. howe said, glancing at her as she hung up the phone.

huo xiwen turned his head towards her with a smile, "can i go home and accompany you after lunch?"

"there's no need for that. let's just play outside happily after lunch. "it's more important to bring people home early and show them to mommy." mrs. huo patted her hand.

huo xiwen was embarra.s.sed. he knew that she had misunderstood him, but he was too lazy to explain himself. he could only smile and say nothing more.

soon, chen yanzhuo's address was sent to him. huo xiwen took a look at the address. it seemed a little far in the past, at a manor on the outskirts of the city.

she looked at the time on her cell phone. it was almost 11 a.m. she was about to tell mrs. huo that she would get out of the car first and take a taxi to the manor when her cell phone rang again.

she looked at the caller id. it was chen yanzhuo. she answered the phone, "i've received the address and am about to leave."

"where are you? "i just remembered that the place is a bit remote and i'm afraid you won't be able to find your way in. i'll go pick you up and we'll go together." chen yanzhuo said.

hearing that, huo xiwen looked at the environment outside and said, "it's near citibank on this side of coastal road."

"i just happened to be nearby. wait for me in front of citibank." chen yanzhuo said.

"alright, see you later then." huo xiwen was naturally eager to do so, so he agreed without any hesitation.

she told the driver to park the car and said goodbye to her mother. then she walked to the door of citibank and waited for chen.

it was almost noon, and there were more people working at the bank, going in and out.

huo xiwen was born good-looking, had a good temperament, and stood out among the crowd.

at this moment, the sunlight was very dazzling. when it shone on her pure white skin, it was somewhat dazzling.

after waiting for less than three minutes, someone came over to talk to her. "miss, are you alone? waiting for a car? do you want me to send you on your way? this sun is so big, don't get tanned. "

huo xiwen glanced at him. she was a middle-aged man in her thirties. she wore gla.s.ses and looked gentle and refined, but her eyes were a bit wretched.

she looked at him coldly, then took out her phone and turned on the camera. she pointed it at his face and said, "come, say what you said to the camera again."

"what do you mean?" "i just want to help you when i see you standing in the sun, waiting for the bus."

huo xiwen looked at the ring on the ring finger on his left hand, then sneered, "your wife knows that you're so helpful."

the bespectacled man saw that his trick had been seen through and could only embarra.s.sedly say, "if you don't know what's good for you, you can just die."

with that, he left in a dejected manner.

huo xiwen looked at the departing back view and felt that it was really funny.

are all married men nowadays this virtuous?

it was a good thing that fu muyun definitely wasn't such a person.

as he was thinking, he suddenly felt the hot sun above his head disperse, and his whole body became cool.

he raised his head and saw that there was a parasol placed on top of his head. turning around, he smashed into the chest of the man behind him.

with his head slightly raised, he met chen yanzhuo's smiling eyes. "you can wait for me at the entrance of the bank. why are you standing under the sun?"

"i was afraid that you wouldn't be able to see me, so i didn't stand too far in. why are you here so quickly? " huo xiwen took a step back and widened the distance between him and huo yuhao.

"i'm working at the bank. if i come out a little later, i won't be able to see a good show." chen yanzhuo said with a smile.

"a good show?" however, he did not want to show any embarra.s.sment in front of him, so he turned his head and said with a haughty expression: "it's very normal, since i'm so pretty, there will be a lot of people who would hit on me."

"that's true, you are indeed very beautiful." chen yanzhuo nodded and said very seriously.

"ugh …" what was going on? he actually didn't make fun of her boasting. this way, she felt a bit embarra.s.sed.

"therefore, i won't let you wait for me by the roadside anymore. it's too dangerous." chen yanzhuo said as he put his hand on her waist, "let's go. my car is parked nearby."

huo xiwen nodded blankly, then followed him towards the parking lot.

after getting on the car, chen yanzhuo turned on the cold air in the car. the cool wind blew on her face, driving away the sun's remaining heat. her originally impetuous mood immediately calmed down.

chen yanzhuo didn't rush to start. instead, he got up slightly and leaned his body forward. he took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator in front of the back seat and handed it to her. "drink some water."

huo xiwen didn't expect him to be so considerate, so he said, "thank you," took the bottle of water and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"comfortable." after drinking the water, she exclaimed.

"seat belt." chen yanzhuo gave a warning, started the car, and drove forward.

huo xiwen immediately fastened his seat belt, leaned back on the leather seat, blew on the cold air, and his expression became contented.

as the car drove forward, the two of them did not speak. the atmosphere was a little quiet.

"that... can you play some music? i remember the music you played last time was pretty good. " huo xiwen spoke up at this moment.

"is that so?" chen yanzhuo said as he turned on the car's audio system, which immediately began to play a gentle and soothing music.

huo xiwen listened to the music, humming along with it as she watched the scenery go by.

he hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that on the way to the outskirts of the city, the scenery was extremely beautiful.

the closer they got to the suburbs, the more greenery could be seen on both sides of the road. these years, the city had expanded and many new gardens had been built around y city. it was a very well-planned city.

compared to the bustling and bustling downtown, the roads on the outskirts of the city were much wider. the traffic was also not congested and the road was very smooth.

huo xi wen sat in the car for a while and suddenly thought of something and asked: "oh right, which country were you in before you came to y city?"

"america." chen yanzhuo replied.

it really was the united states. could it be that he was the same as fu muyun, a member of interpol?

or could it be, he was just a simple manager hired by ming zhu group?

"did you know zhao wei before?" since huo xiwen didn't dare to ask him about the organization, he could only make a few insinuations.
