Working days, not too busy.
Lin Wan Bai moved the mouse, modifying the numbers in the document, causing the phone in the drawer to vibrate.
She glanced at it, then picked it up and held it with her left shoulder. The corner of her mouth unconsciously curled up. "Hello?"
"I'm not going home to eat tonight."
Huo Chang Yuan's calm voice came out, it seemed like he was also working, and there was a change in his voice.
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Uh, do I have to work overtime?"
"No." However, Huo Chang Yuan said, he paused for a bit, and then said, "My dad wishes for your birthday."
Lin Wan Bai immediately understood.
Last week, when they had a hot pot with Huo Rong, the two of them had discussed about this matter. Hopper's birthday was a major event, and as his son, he had to attend.
"Sunny will go too." As if he knew what she was thinking, Huo Chang Yuan said.
"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai replied very lowly.
Huo Chang Yuan was silent for two seconds, and then said, "I'll pick you up after work!"
Lin Wan Bai opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the other party had already hung up.
She pursed her lips and looked at the computer screen.
Finally, it was time to get off work. Lin Wan Bai waited outside the office building for a while before the white Land Rover drove over.
Sitting in the car, she had a face full of hesitation, "Huo Chang Yuan, do I really want to go with you …"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan turned the wheel.
"But …" That's not so good, right? " Lin Wan Bai asked uncertainly.
"What's wrong with that?" Huo Chang Yuan said indifferently.
Lin Wan Bai could only bite her lips.
She could actually understand his intentions for doing this, because Lu Jing Xue would also be there. He did not want her to misunderstand him or have any random thoughts.
Clenching his hands, he couldn't help but ask again, "Huo Chang Yuan, will there be a lot of people for your father's birthday? It's like on TV, rich people have a big birthday party? "
"My family is not upstart." Huo Chang Yuan glanced at her.
"…" Lin Wan Bai was embarrassed, but he was still worried. He looked down at himself, "Then can I dress like this? It's a little too casual, wouldn't it seem to be disrespectful? "
Huo Chang Yuan's decision was too sudden, she had not made the mental preparations yet.
She was wearing ordinary work clothes. They were very comfortable, but they were not formal at all.
"No, my dad doesn't like to be too flamboyant. It's always his birthday at home." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips, calming her down.
Lin Wan Bai nodded, looked out the window, pointed and said, "There's a shopping mall in front, let's go and choose a present!"
"No need!" Huo Chang Yuan frowned.
"No, I have to buy it!" Lin Wan Bai insisted.
After all, it was a birthday celebration, how could he be free to start at any time …
Huo Chang Yuan did as she said. When they reached the intersection in front of them, he turned right and entered the underground parking lot.
The two of them took the elevator and went up from the back floor. There were a lot of people shopping, all of the Buyer's people smiled professionally at the entrance of the shop.
Compared to Lin Wan Bai who was worrying about what kind of gift to give, Huo Chang Yuan seemed to be unhappy, he did not have any interest in what it was, and from the moment he got off the car, he had been frowning.
Coming out from the elevator, Huo Chang Yuan said solemnly, "You are not allowed to send me any razors!"
"…" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips.
"You're not allowed to give me a shirt either!" Huo Chang Yuan frowned.
"…" Lin Wan Bai was speechless.
Before he could even choose, two of them were already rejected by him. Moreover, she had given them to him before. It was obvious that she didn't want to give them to anyone else, just that she didn't want to be so overbearing. The other party was clearly his father …
Lin Wan Bai looked at the signboard at the side and suddenly thought of a question, "Huo Chang Yuan, does your father like to write?"
"Not bad." Huo Chang Yuan muttered to himself.
When he had nothing to do, Huo Zhen would stay in his study and write with a brush. When he was young, he would ask Huo Zhen to write with him, saying that it could train a person's patience and temper, but after writing for so many years, Huo Zhen's temperament had never changed.
Lin Wan Bai pointed up, "Then let's go to this shop to take a look!"
Following the directions indicated by the signboard, the two entered the shop. The interior was filled with the scent of books and ink. On the counter were a variety of brushes and rice paper. Everything related to calligraphy was displayed.
Lin Wan Bai did not understand much about this, and with the help of the shop assistant, he chose to buy ink stone.
When he paid the bill, Huo Chang Yuan took out his wallet.
Lin Wan Bai stubbornly refused, "No! "Let me pay …"
The black card he gave her was still tucked away in the innermost layer of his wallet, but she didn't use it and pulled out a credit card.
Although she was prepared in her heart, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw the price on the ticket. It would still take a few months, but it was still her intention!
Half an hour later, the Land Rover entered a mansion's courtyard.
Lin Wan Bai looked at the three story villa in front of him and swallowed his saliva. The Lin Family's private villa was in the Rich District, but compared to the Huo Residence, he only knew what a real mansion was.
She opened the car door after him, her feet stiff on the floor, her breathing erratic.
Huo Chang Yuan walked over and said with a frown, "Wangwen, if you don't want to, we'll go back first."
"No …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
Raising her head, she saw that pair of deep eyes focused on her. She was confident that if she said that she did not want to, he would not make things difficult for her, but she was afraid that he would not go in. How could he not be at Hopper's birthday?
Lin Wan Bai exhaled, "Huo Chang Yuan, let's go in!"
"If you want to leave, we can leave at any time!" Huo Chang Yuan held her hand, and opened his ten fingers.
"En!" Lin Wan Bai smiled.
As she was led step by step inside, she kept cheering herself on in her heart.
Lin Wan Bai, you can't be afraid!
After entering the villa, there was a wide, empty hallway. There were red wooden shoe cabinets on both sides of the hall, and a very deep red brick carpet. There were all sorts of calligraphy and paintings on the walls.
Laughter could be heard from time to time, as if the place was bustling with noise and excitement.
A servant came out to welcome them. After taking a pair of slippers, he ran into the living room to report respectfully, "Master, Eldest Young Master is back!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already entered the living room.
Hopper sat on the leather sofa, still dressed in his Chinese tunic, his imposing aura did not decrease at all, but he still had a smile on his face and looked very amiable. However, when he heard the sound and looked over, his expression immediately changed.
When they noticed the two holding hands, their smiles disappeared.
Lin Wan Bai's breathing quickened, and subconsciously, he wanted to let go of her hand.
Huo Chang Yuan did not let her go.
