"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." He had a gentle smile on his face as he let go of her. "Sit down and rest here, okay?"
"Okay."
She was always immersed in his gentleness, unable to extricate herself. It was as if something soft was tightly wrapped around her heart. It was comforting and sweet.
It was dinner time when they returned to the Huo residence. Although the couple would usually hold hands in the past, Nanny Zhang felt that the atmosphere between the two of them had become much sweeter, as if they had fallen in love.
She felt a sense of joy when she saw that the couple had worked out their differences.
"Father and mother aren't back yet?"
"They will be back soon. They went out to meet an old acquaintance. Madam asked you to have your meal and not wait for them." Mrs. Zhang had just replied when they heard a car pull up into the compound.
Mrs. Huo and Huo Zhenggang were back, and it seemed that they had brought guests with them. They chatted and laughed along the way. Soon, they entered the living room.
"Father, mother."
"You're back?" Mrs. Huo looked at the middle-aged man in a suit next to her. "Chairman Ning, this is my son and daughter-in-law. Ruochu, this is Uncle Ning."
The corners of chairman Ning's eyes had traces of age. However, his maturity and elegance that had accumulated over the years were exceptionally charming.
"Mrs. Huo's daughter-in-law is very beautiful." He smiled faintly and looked at Gu Ruochu. "You're Gu Bo's daughter, right? I was very close to your father, but we've been out of contact for a long time."
"Hello, Uncle Ning."
Gu Ruochu was familiar with him, so she could only address him as Uncle Ning. Ning Tang's smile was very refined and did not have a hint of arrogance.
"Sit down and eat. Do you want me to feed you?"
Huo Nanchen looked at her and placed his hand on her waist to pull her down. He wanted to hug her in his lap and feed her properly. It had been a long time since he had eaten with her.
"Oh."
Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Ning Tang did not expect the Huo couple to be so loving. It was a pity that his daughter did not have such a good life.
After the meal, Gu Li and Gu Qiang arrived. It was obvious that they had shamelessly tagged along with Ning Tang.
"Ruochu, long time no see." Gu Qiang licked his lips and smiled. His eyes looked at Huo Nanchen. His eagerness and flattery were too perceptible.
Gu Qiang was having a good year. He had somehow managed to associate with the Ning family. Now, he was even able to get close to the Huo family.
Huo Nanchen's hand was on Gu Ruochu's waist. The two of them seemed to be whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears.
Gu Ruochu was a little shy. She subconsciously wanted to escape but he locked her in his arms and brought her closer to his body.
It was the first time she had tasted love. She felt as if pink bubbles were popping up every second.
"Yo! Yo! Yo!" Huo Zijun covered his eyes with his hand, leaving only a small gap when he saw them. "You're so shameless. You're showing off your love again."
Gu Ruochu felt a little uncomfortable from the naked teasing. She did not dare to look into Huo Nanchen's burning eyes.
"Brother Nanchen, do you still remember me?"
Gu Ruochu almost had goosebumps all over her body when she heard this address.
Mrs. Huo narrowed her eyes and knew what this woman was up to. She immediately agreed on behalf of her son. "Your cousin has been married into the Huo family for so long, and you don't come here often. It's normal that he doesn't remember."
"You really don't remember me? I showed up at the Chen family's banquet."
Gu Li still looked at him, pouting as if she was not satisfied.
