Chapter 411: After One Night, Their Relationship Had Changed
After Wen Ruan left, Huo Hannian went to the guest bathroom to take a shower.
After washing up, he stood in front of the French windows and looked at the night view outside.
Not long after, his phone rang. Huo Hannian saw the video from Wen Ruan and quickly picked it up.
Wen Ruan aimed the camera at her room.” I’ll show you.””
There was a soft white carpet, a large purple princess bed, and chiffon draped down gently. There were two table lamps with chiffon lampshades on the bedside table, and the orange light added a hint of warmth and gentleness to the room.
There was a small milky white table by the window. On it was a pot of small green plants and a few pieces of drawing paper.
The camera swept across one of the drawings. Huo Hannian narrowed his eyes slightly.” Who did you draw?”
The camera was a little far away, so Huo Hannian could only see that she had drawn a man, but he couldn’t see his face clearly.
Wen Ruan glanced at the draft.
That was the Huo Hannian she painted a few years after her rebirth in high school.
Two days ago, when she was tidying up the room, she found this portrait. She couldn’t help but take a few more glances at it and forgot to put it away in the drawer.
“Of course I drew you!”
Wen Ruan took the draft over and showed it to him.
Huo Hannian glanced at the drawing. The man in the drawing had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was handsome and cold. He was wearing an exquisite black suit and a luxurious watch.
However, Huo Hanniannian noticed that something was wrong.
Although his facial features were indeed his, his temperament seemed to be more mature and cold than now. The watch on his hand was also not the one he was wearing now.
There were also cufflinks that were black and inlaid with gold. There seemed to be an English letter S on them.
“What does cufflink S mean?”
Hearing Huo Hannian’s question, Wen Ruan’s heart skipped a beat.
How could she forget that this was the Huo Hannian from a few years later, not the current him!
In fact, she did not know why he would become the young master of the Sborne family a few years later in her previous life!
“I composed it myself. I think it’s pretty good and can reflect your domineering temperament!”
Huo Hannian’s eyes were dark.” Where’s the watch?””
“Why are you observing so carefully? Anyway, as long as it’s you, it’s fine.”
Huo Hannian felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
He had a vague feeling that she was not the current him when she was drawing a picture of the face of the Buddha.
He was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.
Wen Ruan ran to the door and peeked outside.
When she saw the old lady standing at the door of the guest room, she quickly retracted her head.” My grandmother is knocking. Let’s not talk about it first. Go and open the door!””
Huo Hannian put down his phone and opened the door.
Old Mrs. Wen held a bowl of bird’s nest and handed it to Huo Hannian.” Little Huo, you drank a lot tonight and your stomach is not feeling well. Have a bowl of bird’s nest to warm your stomach before you sleep.””
Huo Hannian was a little overwhelmed by the fact that the old lady’s attitude toward him had obviously improved a little.
Huo Hannian took the bird’s nest from the old lady’s hands and smiled.” Thank you, Old Madam.””
Huo Hannian took a bite and was about to take a second bite when Old Mrs. Wen suddenly said,” Little Huo, if you dare to hurt my Little Jiaojiao, I’ll have to feed you arsenol. It’s frosted!”
Huo Hannian choked and coughed violently.
Old Mrs. Han was really a person who wouldn’t stop until she shocked everyone with her words!
Huo Hannian didn’t fall asleep until midnight.
His biological clock was used to waking up early, so he woke up at dawn.
After washing up, Huo Hannian went downstairs.
Coincidentally, she saw Old Mrs. Wen carrying a basket and preparing to leave.
“Old Madam, are you going to buy groceries?”
Old Mrs. Wen nodded and said,” I’ve bought the New Year’s groceries, but I’m still short of some vegetables. I’ll go buy them now. They’re fresh.””
Huo Hannian walked over to the old lady and took the basket from her.” I’ll go with you!””
The old lady was a little surprised. This young master’s temperament really did not seem like he was willing to go to the market with an old lady like her.
However, she did not refuse.
The old lady did not ask the driver to drive them. She took Huo Hannian along the small road in the villa area and walked to the open road. Along the way, they met many people who knew the old lady.
A few elderly men and women who were dancing in the square saw the old lady and Huo Hannian, so they came over to watch curiously.
“Old Madam, who is this? Is this your relative?”
“You’re so handsome and tall. Do you have a girlfriend?”
Grandmother Qi smiled when she heard everyone praise Huo Hannian. She patted Huo Hannian’s arm and said,” My Little Jiaojiao brought him back. He woke up early in the morning and insisted on accompanying me to buy groceries.””
Which young man nowadays didn’t want to sleep in after a holiday? None of the grandsons and granddaughters of the old lady were willing to go grocery shopping with them.
Everyone could hear the smug flaunting in the old lady’s words.
“So he’s your grandson-in-law. He’s a good match for your Ruan Ruan.”
“You’re really lucky!”
After chatting with the aunties and uncles for a while, the old lady glanced at Huo Hannian from the corner of her eyes.
She thought that he would be impatient, but he didn’t show any dissatisfaction.
The old lady’s impression of Huo Hannian deepened.
An old man and a young man walked towards the market.
On the way, Old Mrs. Wen would occasionally bump into people who greeted her. Every time they asked about Huo Hannian, Old Mrs. Wen would introduce him as her grandson-in-law.
Huo Hannian heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the white wine he drank last night was not for nothing.
After they were done with the groceries, the old lady asked Huo Hannian,” Is it boring to go out shopping with an old lady like me?”
Huo Hannian shook his head, and his thin, maroon lips curled into a faint smile.” No, it was a good experience.””
The old lady looked at Huo Hannian.” Have you never gone grocery shopping with your family before?””
“No chance.”
The old lady nodded.” What do you want to eat later? Grandma will make it for you.””
“I’m not picky. Anything is fine.”
“My Little Jiaojiao is a little picky. She doesn’t really eat coriander, scallions, and garlic.”
Huo Hannian chuckled.” She doesn’t really eat prawns. Crabs need to be peeled. Someone has to peel them for her before she eats them.”
“Yes, yes, that’s why that girl is very thin.”
“I also want her to gain some weight.”
“Then feed her more good food in the future.”
“Sure.”
“But she’s gained weight. You can’t dislike her.”
“I won’t.”
Wen Ruan would never have thought that Huo Hannian and Old Mrs. Huo would get along so well after just one night.
The two of them complained that Wen Ruan was picky with her food and complained that she was too thin.
Wen Ruan sneezed a few times as soon as she woke up.
She rubbed her delicate nose, feeling that someone was talking behind her back.
She put on a coat and came out of the room.
It was still early. It was a little past seven. She glanced at Huo Hannian’s guest room and saw that the door was closed. He should still be asleep.
Wen Ruan combed her messy hair with her fingers as she walked downstairs.
As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw two figures walking in from the entrance, talking and laughing.
The old lady walked in front of Huo Hannian and behind her, carrying a basket full of fresh vegetables.
Wen Ruan blinked, thinking that she was seeing things.
“Sigh. Why did you come back together?”
Old Mrs. Wen looked at Wen Ruan, who was still wearing home clothes under her coat. It was obvious that she had not washed up yet. She frowned slightly.” Why aren’t you going to tidy yourself up?””
The look in her eyes was so fearful that Huo Hannian would see Wen Ruan’s slovenly side.
Wen Ruan rubbed her head. Why did she feel as though she was being despised by her grandmother?
Wen Ruan was urged by Old Mrs. Wen to go upstairs. After washing up and changing her clothes, she went downstairs again.
Huo Hannian was helping the old lady in the kitchen.
The two of them chatted and laughed. The atmosphere was inexplicably warm and harmonious.
After breakfast, Huo Hannian had to catch a flight back to the capital. After all, it was New Year’s Eve, and he had to go back to have a reunion dinner with his family.
The old lady took out her phone and took the initiative to exchange WeChat messages with Huo Hannian.
Soon, she sent him a big red packet.
880,000.
Wen Ruan and Huo Hannian were both surprised to see the amount.
“Old Madam, this red packet is too big. I can’t accept it.”
“You have to accept it. This is a greeting gift from grandma. Also, don’t call me old man.”
Huo Hannian looked at the old lady, then at Wen Ruan. Wen Ruan gave him a thumbs up.” You’re amazing, Little Huo. You managed to settle my grandmother in just one night.””
She leaned behind him, her small hand reaching from his shoulder to the front, and counted the money for him.
Wen Ruan sent Huo Hannian out.
The car that was supposed to pick Huo Hannian up had already stopped in the courtyard.
“When are you going back to the capital?”
Wen Ruan pursed her lips.” Around the eighth day!””
“I’ll pick you up that day.”
“Alright.”
Huo Hannian didn’t say anything else. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Wen Ruan, his dark eyes deep.” I’m leaving.””
“Yes.”
“You only want to say the word ‘mmm’ to me?”
“Then what else?”
Wen Ruan came out without a coat. She was wearing a red sweater and felt a little cold. She crossed her arms and rubbed her arms.” It’s so cold. I’m going in.””
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Hannian opened his black coat and pulled her into his arms.
Her slender and delicate body was wrapped in his warm coat, and her clear and charming scent assailed her nostrils. Wen Ruan’s long eyelashes fluttered. Just as she was about to say something, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Wen Ruan’s mind went blank for a moment before she reacted. She wanted to push him away in embarrassment and panic, but she also wanted to respond in a throbbing and infatuated manner.
Two completely different emotions surged and intertwined in his heart.
In the end, she still raised her hands and gently grabbed the clothes in front of him. She raised her head slightly and let him kiss her even deeper.
In the villa, the old lady and the butler stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The tall man in the courtyard held the slender girl in his arms. His large hands wrapped the clothes around the girl’s head, covering their faces.
However, anyone who had experienced it could tell what they were doing at a glance.
Old Mrs. Han sighed.” Who are you protecting yourself from?””
As he spoke, he turned to look at the butler beside him.” Little Huo must be preventing you from peeking.”
The butler was speechless. You’re talking as if you didn’t peek!
The eighth day.
Wen Ruan took a flight to the capital in the morning.
She received a message from Ye Qingyu that she was going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register her marriage with the man her family had appointed.
After getting their marriage certificate, she let Wen Ruan accompany her to go shopping to vent her emotions.
When they arrived at the Imperial Capital International Airport, Wen Ruan didn’t see Huo Hannian, who had come to pick her up, so she called him.
However, no one picked up.
