Old Master Huo treated Wen Ruan as his savior and had invited her to the Huo Residence many times over the past year.
Old Master Huo was a person who took his time to warm up. However, after spending more time with him, Wen Ruan realized that other than being a little taciturn, he was actually an awkward and secretly jealous old man.
For example, Wen Ruan would sometimes invite Old Madam Li to the Li residence. Old Madam Li would post a post on her WeChat Moments and Old Master Huo would be jealous.
He felt that Old Madam Li was snatching her away from him.
Wen Ruan thought that Old Master Huo was addicted to chess and wanted her to play with him.
Wen Ruan pursed her lips as she looked at Huo Hannian, who was surrounded by a group of people. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to go in or leave.
He had returned safe and sound, and the heavy burden in her heart was finally lifted.
When she returned to the capital from Country A that day, Ye Qingyu was so angry that she almost threw her out of the window when she found out that she had thrown herself into Huo Hannian’s arms so easily and even kissed him.
Wen Ruan thought about it carefully when he came back. He had indeed forgiven him too easily.
Now that he was safe and sound, she had to be noble and cold. At the very least, she could not easily throw herself into his arms again!
Wen Ruan calmed down and tidied up her hair and makeup before entering the Huo residence.
When the butler saw Wen Ruan, he welcomed her warmly.
“Miss Wen, Young Master is back.”
He thought that he would see Wen Ruan’s excited smile, but he did not expect Wen Ruan to only reply with a faint ” oh “.
After Huo Hannian returned home, he went upstairs to change his clothes.
As she walked down the stairs, she saw Wen Ruan, who was holding Old Master Huo’s hand as he spoke.
Wen Ruan sat next to Old Master Huo, while Huo Min and Luo Chen sat on the sofa across from him, as well as the young masters of the Huo family.
The entire family seemed to be used to Wen Ruan’s presence. Even the most picky and fastidious Old Master Huo had a look of fondness for Wen Ruan.
Huo Hannian, who had changed his clothes, was wearing a crisp white shirt and a pair of well-ironed black trousers. He was exquisitely dressed. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing his slender forearm. He was wearing a luxurious watch on his left hand.
Wen Ruan glanced at Huo Hannian’s face from the corner of his eye.
He was no longer that ordinary face. Compared to before, his outline was a little thinner, and his facial features were more three-dimensional and sharp. Now, he was even more deep, cold, and stable.
Wen Ruan only took a glance before looking away.
“Grandpa Huo, since today is the day your family reunites, I won’t disturb you here.”
Before Wen Ruan could finish her sentence, Old Mr. Wen interrupted her.” You’re already here. You can go back after eating.”
Old Master Huo had seen how much Wen Xinya had missed Han Nian over the past few years.
Every once in a while, they would go to the island. Every time Wen Xinya went over, she would cry.
Now that Hannian was alive and well, Wen Xinya would definitely be happy. However, that did not mean that she did not feel wronged!
A girl would naturally be angry when she was wronged!
Old Master Huo had to create more opportunities for Hannian to coax Wen Xinya and heal the scars in her heart!
The butler came over to inform everyone that the food was ready.
The group walked towards the dining room. Wen Ruan supported Elder Huo, while Huo Hannian and Luo Chen followed behind.
“Cousin, it’s good that you’re back. I can finally return the heavy burden on my shoulders to you!”Luo Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
Huo Hannian patted Luo Chen on the shoulder.” Thank you for your hard work, but I have something important to announce tonight. I’m afraid you can’t take off your heavy responsibilities for the time being.”
” Ah!” Luo Chen exclaimed in fear.” Cousin, don’t scare me!”
“Let’s talk about it tonight.”
Luo Chen said,” Alright!”
The family sat around the big round table.
Old Master Huo arranged for Wen Ruan and Huo Hannian to sit together.
Huo Hannian sat down and looked at Wen Ruan, but Wen Ruan didn’t look at him.
Huo Hannian frowned slightly.
This girl had even taken the initiative to hug him, kiss him, and flirt with him when they were in a small town in Country A.
Why was he so cold to him now that he was back?
Huo Hannian raised his long leg and kicked Wen Ruan lightly under the table.
Wen Ruan’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly. She ignored Huo Hannian and shifted her legs to the other side, completely ignoring his presence.
Huo Hannian stared at Wen Ruan’s alluring side profile for a few seconds, his thin lips slightly pursed into a straight line.
Old Master Huo watched every move of Wen Ruan and Huo Hannian. He picked up some food for Huo Hannian with his chopsticks and said in a low voice,” Little girl, coax her more. Take it slow.”
“Grandpa, what happened in the year I was gone?”
As soon as Huo Hannian said that, Luo Chen started to talk non-stop. He did not have the steadiness he had when he was a CEO. In front of his family, he still looked like a big boy who had not grown up.
Upon hearing that the old man was almost killed by Yu Xiang and Huo Wei, and that Wen Ruan had saved the old man, Huo Hannian leaned his tall body closer to Wen Ruan and held Wen Ruan’s hand with his well-defined fingers.” Ruan Ruan, thank you.”
Wen Ruan’s heart beat faster as he wrapped his hand around her. She tried to hold back the throbbing in her heart as she pulled her fingers back.” Luo Chen came to find me. The old man is sick, and I’m just doing my part as a doctor.”
Huo Hannian saw her indifferent attitude, as if she did not want to be too intimate with him. He pressed the tip of his tongue to his cheek and smiled dotingly and helplessly.
What a proud little girl.
After dinner, Wen Ruan went to the washroom.
As soon as she entered, before the door was closed, a tall figure squeezed in and grabbed her wrist, pulling her over.
Wen Ruan was caught off guard and bumped into a firm and hard chest. His chest was like an iron wall. Wen Ruan felt as if the tip of her nose was about to fall off.
Her fair eyes reddened.
She looked up to see the man’s appearance. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him hard.
“Huo Hannian, what are you doing? You’ve just returned and you’re already acting like a hooligan?”She glared at him angrily.
Almost all the Hunts were here today. If they saw the two of them enter the same bathroom, it would be really embarrassing!
Huo Hanniannian held the struggling girl tightly in his arms and looked down at her with a smile.” If you move again, I’m going to be a hooligan.”
His voice was not as low and magnetic as before. It was a little hoarse from being injured, but it was inexplicably bewitching.
Wen Ruan bit her lower lip hard, reminding herself not to be easily bewitched by him.
Seeing that Wen Ruan had turned her head away, ignoring him, Huo Hannian pushed her against the sink and said with his dark eyes,” You should be angry. How do you want to punish me? Tell me.”
” Don’t look for me for three months. Also, you’re not allowed to interfere with any man I get close to-”
Huo Hannian thought of the banquet at the Palace of the Earl in Country A. He remembered how she had danced with that man named Sam. His face darkened at a visible rate.
“Have you been very close to that Sam this year?”
