Chapter 2025: Chapter 2025 the old house is on fire (7)(second request for monthly pass)
Song Jinning hurriedly took a step back and waved Huo Guanchen’s hand away. She said unhappily, “Speak properly and don’t touch me. I’ve already said that you don’t have to come to my birthday.”After saying that, she turned around and left.
Huo Guanchen stood in the parking lot and stared at the direction where song Jinning had disappeared for a while before getting into his car and leaving.
When their car left the parking lot of the restaurant, it would pass by the Institute of High Energy Physics where song Jinning was.
Huo Guanchen ordered his men to stop in front of the Institute of High Energy Physics. He looked through the car window quietly for a while and asked his men to confirm whether song Jinning had returned to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
In such a short time, Huo Guanchen actually saw Lu Yuan get out of the car and go to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
It was not the first time he saw Lu Yuan go to the Institute of High Energy Physics. Now that he saw him again, he frowned slightly and said to his personal secretary, “Go and find out who director song has been getting close to recently.”
The personal secretary agreed and went back to find someone to investigate.
Song Jinning’s actions in the Institute of High Energy Physics were aboveboard. Other than attending classes, she did experiments and had meetings with the institute to discuss the progress of the experiments.
Therefore, Huo Guanchen’s personal secretary could easily find out that Lu Yuan came to deliver food to song jinning almost every day.
“Every day?”Huo Guanchen looked at his personal secretary in surprise. “Are you sure? He doesn’t do anything else?”
“… he just delivered a meal at noon. Director song will go home for Dinner Tonight,”the personal secretary continued, not daring to look up at Huo Guanchen’s face.
Huo Guanchen’s hands gradually tightened, and the corners of his lips tightened.
After a while, he waved his hand. “Got it. You can go.”
After the personal secretary left, Huo Guanchen sat alone in his office for a long time. It was not until the sky turned dark that his internal phone suddenly rang, and he came back to his senses.
He reached out to take the phone and called. The operator quickly said, “Chief, it’s Miss Guo’s call. Do you want to take it?”
Huo Guanchen collected his thoughts. Seeing that it was almost time, he said, “Put it through.”
After a few days, Guo Huining finally spoke to Huo Guanchen again.
Guo Huining’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She held her phone and stood at the window of the West Mountain Villa. She looked at the dark night outside the window, but her voice was as crisp as usual. “General Huo? Are you done? I don’t want to disturb your work.”
Huo Guanchen lit a cigarette, took a puff, and blew out smoke rings. He smiled faintly and said, “I just finished. I have a lot of things to do recently. What’s the matter, Miss Guo?”
Guo huining quickly said, “If you are very busy, I can wait until you have time to call again.”
She wanted to hang up the phone, but Huo Guanchen smiled softly and his voice became deeper. “It’s okay. I have to take care of your business no matter how busy I am. Speak, don’t be polite.”
Guo Huining’s dead heart slowly came back to life.
She hesitated for a while and said decisively, “It’s like this. Mr. Huo has been recovering well recently. If you don’t want to sit in a wheelchair, get up and walk around by yourself. I want to ask for your opinion.”
“… What does my father’s professional rehabilitation doctor say?”Huo Guanchen’s first reaction was to ask the professional doctor.
Guo huining frowned. “The Doctor said that it depends on the situation. He also said that old Mr. Huo’s condition can be tried, but because old Mr. Huo is old, his condition may be worse than a young person’s.”
That meant that it would depend on the family members.
If there was a problem, there was no need to blame the Doctor.
Huo Guanchen also understood. His eyes flashed and he said, “Miss Guo, thank you for your concern. I’m free now. I’ll go back to take a look in a while.”
Guo huining was ecstatic, but she remained calm on the surface and said, “Sure, no problem.”
She asked again, “Have You had dinner? Do you want to prepare your dinner?”
Huo Guanchen did not eat dinner, so he did not refuse. “Whatever. I’ll eat whatever you eat.”
Guo huining smiled and said, “How can that be? But the chefs here also know your taste. I’ll get him to prepare some of your favorite home-cooked dishes for you.”
“Okay, you decide.”Huo Guanchen said and hung up the phone. He rubbed his temples before getting up and putting on his military uniform. He put on his military cap and left his office to head to the private residence of the West Mountain Villa.
Guo huining waited at the entrance of the villa’s courtyard.
She saw a string of car lights meandering over on the mountain road not far away. A smile that she didn’t even know existed on her face.
Huo Guanchen got out of the car and immediately saw Guo huining standing in front of the courtyard of the villa.
It was already very cold in the late autumn night in the imperial capital. Moreover, they were on the mountain, so it was even colder than in the city.
However, Guo Huining did not even wear a down jacket. She was only wearing casual casual clothes. On her shoulders was a cape with a golden and Black Persian Dahlia pattern. It made her tall and thin body look even more pitiful under the night wind.
Huo Guanchen walked over and stretched out his hand to put a shawl over her shoulders. He said gently, “It’s cold, why don’t You Wear More?”
Guo huining tilted her head and looked at him. She smiled sweetly from her most beautiful angle, revealing her neat white teeth.”… I was in a hurry to pick up the chief, so I forgot to wear my coat.”
Huo Guanchen could not help but laugh. He patted her shoulder. “Naughty.”
Then he said, “You and I don’t have to be so polite.”
Guo huining nodded with a faint smile. “Then I’ll call you Mr. Huo.”
Huo Guanchen didn’t refuse. He slowed down his pace to accommodate Guo Huining’s pace and asked, “What About My Father? How is he recently?”
“Old Mr. Huo is not bad, but he misses his family a little,”Guo Huining said tactfully. “But Mr. Zhang and the others are embarrassed to come to your place often, so they only call and video call.”
At this point, Guo Huining’s heart skipped a beat.
She remembered that when she first came here, not to mention video, even her cell phone signal was blocked, so she couldn’t call them at all. She could only use the landline, but now she could use her cell phone and even video call at will.
She turned her head and stared at Huo Guanchen, and couldn’t help but ask.
Huo Guanchen smiled, he said, “In the beginning, I did have very strict security measures here. “But now it’s no longer necessary. Huining, you’re not an outsider, and my father also needs to interact with others. Otherwise, the elderly will stay at home alone, and their spirits will not be good, and their health will not be good.”
He actually said that she was not an outsider and called her “Huining”!
Guo Huining’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She hid the excitement in her heart and became more and more relaxed. “Mr. Huo Trusts me so much, I naturally won’t betray Mr. Huo’s trust.”
“I’m not worried about huining,”Huo Guanchen said as he and Guo Huining went to see grandfather Huo first.
Grandfather Huo sat on the sofa in his room with his back facing the door. He was having a video call with Zhang Baochen’s family. The room was filled with laughter and joy. They were indeed a happy family.
Huo Guanchen watched for a while at the door and stopped Guo Huining from greeting him. He made a hand gesture and quietly left the door of grandfather Huo’s room.
Guo huining followed Huo Guanchen to the dining room and said apologetically, “Please wait for a while. Mr. Huo came to talk to you after the video ended.”
Huo Guanchen did not comment. He shrugged and said indifferently, “I know, but I’m hungry. Can I have dinner now?”
“Of course.”Guo huining quickly waved for someone to come over and serve the dishes for the two of them.
After the meal, grandfather Huo did not end the video call.
Huo Guanchen held the tea that Guo Huining had brewed for him and sat in his study on the second floor near the window. He sipped his tea quietly.
Guo Huining sat opposite him and watched Huo Guanchen place a small gift beside her hand.
Although it was not the ring box that she yearned for, when she opened it and saw that it was an earring of the same design as the ring that Huo Guanchen had bought, she was pleasantly surprised.
Stroking the exquisite jewelry box, Guo Huining asked uneasily,”… Mr. Huo, why are you so good to me?”
Huo Guanchen’s face was hidden in the dark shadow beside the curtain, so she could not see his expression clearly. However, Guo Huining knew that Huo Guanchen must be watching her attentively, because she could feel the heat of his gaze, it almost made her face burn up.
Huo Guanchen looked at her like this for a while, then suddenly said with some confusion,”… maybe it’s because your name is also Ah Ning?”
Guo Huining’s heart immediately jumped wildly. The soft and thin Xie Tu shi shawl on her shoulder seemed to have turned into tens of thousands of Tibetan antelopes, galloping under the blue crystal-like sky of Tibet.
But soon, her face turned pale again.
So she was just a substitute? Or was it because of her name?
She was unwilling and struggled, but at this point, she also knew that even being used as song Jinning’s substitute was a great honor for her.
That woman was so powerful and beautiful that she almost couldn’t be jealous.
This is the second update today: Chapter 2025, “The old house is on fire (7)”.
