that's fine! You've done well in your career, I'll be happy for you! But these are all on the condition that you don't like Ho Xi, and you haven't even considered being with her! But you clearly have...Huo Yunsi lowered his head, looking at her hand gripping his arm.

It was probably because his eyes were too cold.

An Ran hesitated a little.

But then, she mustered her courage: “Huo Yunsi, can we talk Just give me half an hour… or even ten minutes.”

Her tone was meek, she was just trying to explain.

But Huo Yuns thought did not have the patience to listen to her finish.

He gently shook her hand away, taking a step back, his gaze cold as he stared at her. "And then And then I believe you, plan everything for me, pave the way for our future, only to be met with your deception and your words... I was never in love with you!"

He was so choked up that he could only manage a few words.

"Anran, I don't forgive you unconditionally forever."

"You regret it, but I find it uninteresting."

"I will get married, perhaps to someone from a similar background. It might not be as passionate or joyful, but I think I don't need to constantly guess her thoughts or worry about her leaving me at any moment. I'm very busy and don't have time for those childish games of love."

……

He spoke politely, and once he finished, he felt there was no need to dwell on it further.

He even told Secretary Yan, "Fulfill whatever she asks!"

After Huo Yuns thought finished speaking, he walked out.

He didn't even glance at An Ran again.

In the grand hall of Huo's Group, an eerie silence hung in the air. Not a single sound could be heard. It was clear to everyone that Anran had no chance with Mr. Huo.

Those female employees, who had been a bit sour before, couldn't even manage a smile now.

After a long silence, it was finally Secretary Yan who spoke.

She whispered, "Haven't you eaten yet I'll take you out for a meal"

Anran shook her head.

She looked at the box of sushi in the trash can, lost in thought for a moment. Then, she heard Yan's secretary's voice: "Mr. Huo is in a bad mood, don't take it to heart. Let's communicate properly later."

An Ran hummed softly, her voice laced with moisture.

She whispered, "I'm going first!"

Secretary Yan wanted to call her back, but An Ran walked too fast and disappeared from sight in a short while.

Secretary Yan stood for a while.

As the evening wore on, the place gradually buzzed with activity. After work conversations revolved around nothing but Huo Zong and An Ran's relationship.

Secretary Yan scanned the room, her voice stern: "Do you all want to be fired Mr. Huo is angry with An Ran today, but maybe he'll be doting on her again tomorrow."

Someone retorted, "There's no way that could happen! Mr. Huo doesn't want her anymore."

Secretary Yan cast a glance.

No one dared to speak up!

……

Ho Yunshi drove his own car. He was in a bad mood and rolled down the window to feel the evening breeze.

The afterglow of the sunset illuminated his profile.

Astonishingly imposing.

He didn't want to think about that person, so he turned on the car stereo music. But even in the soothing melody, he still thought of Anran, remembering those days in the city, her kindness, and her flaws.

His face was tense, he lightly pressed the accelerator, driving very fast.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa.

Dusk descended.

The windows of the villa glowed with warm, yellow light. Huo Yunsi got out of the car and stood there for a few seconds, gazing at it quietly.

He couldn't help but think again, if An Ran didn't change her mind,

He would also buy a villa like this, forming a small family with her. In a few years, they would also have adorable children.

"Uncle!"

Mianmian ran out, followed by a spotted little dog named Zhang Xiaoguang.

In early summer, Mianmian wore a round-neck floral dress, white knee-high socks, and black lambskin shoes.

Brown hair, curly.

Ho Yunsi bent down and picked her up, feeling the little one in his arms was soft and fragrant. Mianmian proactively kissed him once and then hugged his neck: "Mommy said Uncle is here, Daddy is cooking."

Huo Yuns thought held her in one hand.

He opened the trunk with one hand and took out several boxes of nutritional supplements. “Is that so”

Mian Mian whispered to him, "Daddy is making French lamb chops. He also said that if Xiao Guang doesn't listen, he will roast Xiao Guang! Uncle, please tell Daddy not to roast Xiao Guang, okay"

At first, Xiaoguang was still circling around Huoyuns, spinning happily.

Now he's between a rock and a hard place.

Huo Yunsi smiled faintly, bringing both the child and the dog into the hall. The servants were off for the day, Zhang Chongguang was cooking in the kitchen, and Huo Xi was lounging on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up: "No overtime today"

She asked like that, surely knowing that Huo had worked all night and must also have known about him and Anran.

Huo Yuns thought put down the tonic.

He held Mimi and sat across from Xi, laying the little one across his lap. He was tall, so Mimi sitting on his leg felt like she was sliding down a slide on monkey bars.

After a long pause, Huo Yunsi finally spoke: "Finished!"

Huo Xi smiled faintly, just about to say something, when Zhang Chongguang came over from the kitchen carrying a large tray.

Roasted lamb chops, red wine, foie gras.

It's really quite plentiful.

Of course, besides this, there's also a lovely children's meal set, which is carefully prepared and delicious.

Zhang Chongguang took off his heat-insulating gloves, a faint smile on his face: "Yunshi, try this lamb ribs tonight. You'll love it."

Huo Yunsi had always been at odds with him.

Holding Mianmian and sitting in front of the dining table, she looked at the sumptuous French meal with a faint smile: "I didn't expect that Chongguang's culinary skills are so good, and he is also hardworking. He never cooked easily at home before."

He struck a pose like the eldest son of the family: "Yunshi, even in front of a girl you like, don't be too aloof! Girls are all delicate, pampering them and letting them have their way isn't a big deal!"

Huo Yunsi let out a soft snort.

Ho Xi wished he could put Zhang Chongguang in an oven and roast him. He truly knew how to stab Yun Si's heart, saying all the hurtful things imaginable.

Hoxi glared at him fiercely.

Zhang Chongguang raised his glass, chuckled softly, and said, "Let's eat."

A meal that left both host and guest unhappy.

Only Mianmian was happy, her mouth watering. Under her table was a small bowl, and she had kindly put a piece of lamb chops for Xiaoguang, but Xiaoguang sniffed it, his face full of suspicion and fear.

He later scurried away with his tail between his legs.

Huo Yunsi glanced at him, feeling like he had been subtly mocked. However, he didn't play along. He wasn't in the mood and his spirits were low.

After dinner, he played with Mianmian for a while.

Mianmian sat on the carpet, building blocks. He just watched Mianmian's little face quietly, as if he were looking at someone.

Huo Xi pushed open the door and walked into the living room: "Yunshi!"

Huoyuns thought she was holding a cup of water and medicine, knowing Mianmian should take medicine and go to sleep, so he got up: "Then I'll go back first!"

Ho Xi called out to him, "I'll give it to you!"

Just then, Zhang Chongguang came in and smiled: "You send Yunshi off, I'll accompany Mianmian to take her medicine."

Huo Yunsi glanced at him one more time and walked out first.ate, it was simply part of Huo Yunsi's nature.……Leaving the hospital, Anran slowly walked to the bus stop.In fact, she didn't move out.She had no intention of leaving the city. She planned to take her...
