Mrs. Huo looked at the couple as she recalled the events that had recently taken place. Her heart slightly favored Gu Ruochu.
"Of course, it's to welcome my mother and sister. The will be staying at the Huo family home for a few days." Gu Ruochu glanced at Gu Yanwei and a cold smile appeared in her eyes.
Gu Yanwei and her mother knew how long they would stay at the Huo family residence.
They would not leave the Huo family home until they had achieved their goal.
Huo Nanchen's expression was indifferent when heard Gu Ruochu's comments. This matter did not concern him.
"I'll go check on dinner in the kitchen. You young people can chat for now. Your father should be back by now." Mrs. Huo thought for a while as she looked at Gu Yanwei. "Yanwei and Zhou Yunxi, come with me for a moment. I'll show you around."
"Sure, Auntie." Gu Yanwei smiled. She knew that Mrs. Huo wanted to give Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen some space to spend some time together. She wouldn't just sit around and wait for that to happen. But she had to be patient and strike at the right moment.
After they left, the atmosphere became a little awkward as they stood in silence.
"Why did you get off work so early?''
"You can't wait for me to work overtime?"
"Don't you understand, can't see through this logic?"
Huo Nanchen's face darkened once again. She really despised him. He raised his voice and said, "Say one more word and I'll gag your mouth!"
"You're exploding again."
Gu Ruochu felt that she had developed the ability to stroke her fur after her previous encounters with him. In the past, she had earned a nickname on the Internet as "the little master of stroking fur."
"With Your Lips?" Gu Ruochu continued as she looked at him provocatively. "If this were in the past, I might really kiss you. But I'm not in the mood now. Let's do it another day. I still don't know what your lips taste like or if they taste good."
Huo Nanchen's gaze fell on her lips subconsciously. He was devoid of any emotion, but he felt like he was looking down on a weak little creature. Her lips were very attractive and would be good to kiss.
"You mean, you've kissed someone else before?
"Does this mean I'm being compared to someone else?"
When he thought of this possibility, Young Master Huo felt a dull pain in his chest, as if he was about to explode.
"I think so, I don't remember." Gu Ruochu seemed to have deliberately tried to recall.
Huo Nanchen gritted his teeth and his invasive gaze turned slightly cold. "You don't remember kissing someone else?"
"..."
Gu Ruochu was fooling around with him. She had lived for over twenty years in her previous life and had died without ever touching a man's hand.
"Hahahaha..."
Huo Zijun could not help but burst into laughter again when he saw Huo Nanchen's expression. "Hahaha, sister-in-law, you're too funny."
When he left, Gu Ruochu was frightened by her big brother. He did not expect to see such an astonishing and interesting change on his return.
"Dinner is ready. Master, First Lady, Third Master, Madam is calling for you." Nanny Zhang called out from the living room. When Gu Ruochu heard that dinner was ready, her eyes lit up as she washed her hands and went to eat. She completely ignored Huo Nanchen.
Huo Nanchen was speechless.
He was not happy with her for ignoring him.
Seeing how Gu Ruochu treated Huo Nanchen, Lu Fang could not help but let out a pig-slaughtering laugh. However, he felt that it was better to leave as a sign of respect when he saw an icy gaze sweeping over him.
"Well, I'll be leaving now."
"Okay."
Huo Nanchen seemed to be disturbed by something and he did not go in to eat dinner with the rest of the family.
