Lin Wan Bai was one hundred percent sure that it was Huo Chang Yuan.
Even if he wasn't in the Ice City, his domineering attitude was still there.
She sighed silently and sent away the couple she had made a blind date with. Then she crossed the road and returned to the hospital.
However, along the way, it was as if a little bug had flown into her head, constantly repeating the word "Mr. Howe" in the midst of the discussion. Even when she got out of the elevator, the situation had not improved, to the point where she tripped over a patient's IV drip rack.
Just as he entered the ward, his phone rang again.
Before Lin Wan Bai took it out, he had already sensed who it was.
There was still some pain on her knee. After she picked it up, she purposely didn't say anything.
"What, you're not in a good mood?"
Huo Chang Yuan, on the other hand, had a rather lazy tone, and looked like he was in a good mood.
Seeing that she still hadn't made a move, he was surprisingly not angry. Instead, he slowly asked, "How was your coffee?"
"Not much." Lin Wan Bai was furious after hearing that, he purposely said: "I was kicked out halfway through drinking, I wonder who had the money to take over the place like that …"
"You failed to date a pug and you're so unhappy?"
"It's not a date …"
Lin Wan Bai was helpless and had to correct him, "If there's still Little Wu who isn't a pug, then we won't meet alone today. There's also my little junior sister, she should be taking the lead to give them a blind date."
"Then you sound like a grumpy woman!" Huo Chang Yuan scoffed.
Lin Wan Bai was speechless, he rubbed his knees, "I just slipped and fell."
"Stupid!" Huo Chang Yuan scolded her, but followed up with a question: "Where are you hurt?"
"Nope." Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
Perhaps it was her imagination, but from so far away, she could hear a hint of concern between his words.
While still recognizing him, he heard him say, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
"Huh?" Lin Wan Bai was surprised, "Didn't you say that it will take more than a week?"
Huo Chang Yuan replied with a long interval, as though he was smoking, "The trip to Beijing has been canceled, let's go back immediately. The flight the day after tomorrow, when I get home, I want to see you."
"Oh, I know." Lin Wan Bai nodded.
"Warm up the bed for me." Huo Chang Yuan warned.
"Yes …" Lin Wan Bai was meek.
Again, she couldn't understand his obsession with warming the bed.
"Why aren't you hanging up?"
Huo Chang Yuan asked her after being silent for a long time.
"Hehe, what a good girl!" Huo Chang Yuan laughed when he heard this.
The magnetic laugh came in a low voice, mixed with the following two words. Lin Wan Bai felt his cochlea itch, as if that laughter was spreading all the way inside, it was really …
It was too much like a whisper in a world of love.
After hanging up, Lin Wan Bai exhaled, and subconsciously touched his hot face.
"Hm." Lin Wan Bai was confused.
"Indeed, you are a young man in love. I feel that I have returned to the time when I was in love with your grandfather!"
"Grandmother, stop teasing me …"
Lin Wan Bai lowered his head in embarrassment, the temperature on his face increasing.
Grandma pulled down her reading glasses and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh yeah, Little White, you still haven't told me your boyfriend's name?"
"His surname is Huo …"
Lin Wan Bai almost blurted out.
In the next second, he realized that it was already too late to retract it.
"Uh, Huo Chang Yuan." Lin Wan Bai couldn't come up with a name so he might as well tell her the truth.
Furthermore, even if she told Grandma that the old man stayed in the hospital every day, the news would still be kept a secret and he wouldn't really know who Huo Chang Yuan was.
Who knew that after her grandmother heard this, her aged face was filled with hesitation.
After a moment of silence, he flipped the newspaper in his hand over, "Is this the person on top?"
"…" Lin Wan Bai fell.
Does it have to be such a coincidence?
On the inside page of the newspaper, there was a large half of the financial news.
The man in the photo was wearing a set handmade suit, and even when he was sitting on the sofa, he could not hide his tall and big figure. There were some who were capable and nimble, without a single trace of impetuousness.
Lin Wan Bai was unable to back down now, so he nodded his head.
The old man was pleased and worried by her acknowledgment.
The day after tomorrow would come in the blink of an eye.
When the Bentley entered from the entrance of the high-end residential area, it was already past one o'clock at night.
Huo Chang Yuan came out of the elevator with a travel worn body and a suitcase. When the key opened the door, warm lights poured out.
He paused, then remembered that he had called her.
Huo Chang Yuan's adam's apple moved up and down.
All these years, every time he went home and opened the door at night, he was greeted by only darkness, a cold life, a life that had lasted for many years, but now this life was like stagnant water, because it seemed less lonely with someone accompanying him.
The door to the bedroom was not closed. Huo Chang Yuan walked in and saw the figure leaning against the bed.
There was a book on her knees that was even bigger than her face. Her neck was drooping, and her face was covered in sleepiness. Her head was already moving like a chick pecking at rice, but her eyes were still tightly shut.
"Why aren't you sleeping after being so sleepy?"
raised his head as someone caught his chin.
There was a few seconds of chaos before he saw clearly that it was him. It should be the look of someone who had just returned, the suit jacket was not taken off, and he was covered in dust as if he had just come from the sea.
Lin Wan Bai stroked his long hair and muttered softly, "How could I dare to sleep …"
"Hmm?" Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Lin Wan Bai glanced at him, secretly curled her lips, and complained a little, "Didn't you say last time that if you don't come back in the future, I'm not allowed to sleep on my own first …"
"So obedient?" Huo Chang Yuan smiled.
Lin Wan Bai did not utter a word, and only groaned in his heart.
When he raised his head again, he realized that it was rare for him to see the smile on his face.
The two sudden yells were very obvious at night.
Lin Wan Bai was full at night, so it was naturally not her stomach. She looked towards Huo Chang Yuan, and sure enough, there was a trace of unease on his face.
She was a little surprised. "You haven't eaten yet?"
"I had a whole day of meeting, and I only drank water. After that, I went straight to the airport. I almost missed it." Huo Chang Yuan took off the suit jacket. His stomach was filled with water.
"Isn't there food on the plane?" Lin Wan Bai did not understand.
"The food is bad." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
How picky!
Lin Wan Bai cursed in his heart, only thinking that he had not eaten anything all day, he just lifted up his blanket and said, "Wait for me!"
Huo Chang Yuan did not mind, he immediately unbuttoned his shirt and went into the bathroom.
When he came out of the shower, there was a sound coming from downstairs. The air was filled with the warm fragrance of the food. When he arrived at the dining room, he saw her holding a bowl of steaming hot noodles.
