"My body won't allow it."
Huo Jili beat his legs and shook his head, "You are no longer of use when you are old."
"Mr. Huo, you are only in your early fifties, and you are still in your prime." Ye Mingqian started to help Huo Jili squeeze his legs.
"I know my health is getting worse and worse, so I slowly handed over many things in the group to Achen's hands. The Shu family has cooperated with our Huo family for many years and is a reliable partner. One day I really can't. , with the relationship of marriage, Achen will also have a reliable help."
Huo Jili leaned on the bedside and continued to read the articles he had not finished reading in the morning. He pointed at one of them and said, "Look, I haven't shown up for a few days because I was ill. There are media guessing what the Huo family is going to do." Going downhill.”
"it's out of the question."
Ye Mingqian's eyes twinkled, like a little fan girl, "With Mr. Huo here, the Huo Group will definitely remain invincible."
"Try to wear a high hat on me." Huo Jili's tone contained a hint of pampering that he didn't even notice. "There's no need to pinch. If you use too much force, your fingers will become thick and it won't look good."
"Then Mr. Huo can't dislike me then." Ye Mingqian retracted her hand obediently.
"I'm just afraid I've wronged you, Xiao Zhu." Huo Jili called Assistant Zhu and took a gift box from his hand, "Let's see if it fits."
Ye Mingqian opened the gift box and found a set of jewelry, including a beaded tiara, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet. Except for the necklace, which was inlaid with a dove egg-sized diamond in the middle, the rest of the jewelry had diamonds. The size of a fingernail.
"This is too expensive." She was so frightened that she pushed it back repeatedly, "Mr. Huo, I can't accept it."
"If it is not worn in the hands of the right person, it is just a worthless dead thing. It is valuable only when you wear it. Besides, when you attend Achen's engagement party next week, how can the future hostess of the Huo family by your side not hold up the scene? jewelry.”
Huo Jili pretended to be angry at her rejection, "Originally I wanted to choose a set of emeralds for you, but you are still young and those ones are too old-fashioned in front of you. This set of diamonds is a bit too small, so you can use it for now and wait. In the future, let the craftsmen at home find good materials to make a few sets for you."
"Thank you Mr. Huo."
When Ye Mingqian heard that she was not given such expensive jewelry for no reason, she sighed in relief and accepted the gift box.
"I won't prepare dresses. I can't figure out what style you young people like. You can go to the high-end luxury brands under the group to find what you like, and let them change the size and fly it back to the country."
Huo Jili thought very carefully, and Ye Mingqian obeyed the arrangement.
"If there are people you don't know at the banquet, just ask Gu Yan or Achen, and they will introduce them to you."
"Yes, I took note of it, Mr. Huo."
Huo Jili, who hadn't spoken so much in a long time, quickly showed signs of fatigue, "That's about it."
"Mr. Huo, please have a good rest. I'll leave first."
Ye Mingqian left Huo Jili's ward in a daze. After listening to diamonds and emeralds for a long time, everyone was confused when he walked to the elevator. He bumped into people coming out of the elevator.
"Sorry." The soreness in her nose woke her up.
"Throw yourself into your arms."
The deep voice made Ye Mingqian raise his head, but he only saw a graceful jawline, "Chi Yanchen?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chi Yanchen hugged him and led him into the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, his hands began to move on her body.
"Chi Yanchen! Show some respect to me." Ye Mingqian slapped the man's hand away with a cold eyebrow. Her action was too rough, and the lid of the gift box in her bag came loose, revealing a broken diamond.
"Can such a bargain buy you off?" Chi Yanchen used his little finger to pick up the diamond necklace in the gift box with a look of disdain.
"Shut up." Ye Mingqian angrily snatched the things back and put them away, "You haven't treated your little green plum like this yet."
Chi Yanchen smiled, but his words were ruthless, "He's just a tool for marriage, just leave him alone."
"Shu Qiaoqiao has something we want, but you still have to show off." Ye Mingqian reminded Chi Yanchen, "Your attitude is too much. When the time comes, Xiao Qingmei will fall in love with someone else. The things Mr. Shu gave her We won’t be able to get it.”
"It's a little green plum in one mouthful, why do you sound so sour to me?" Chi Yanchen picked his ears and said jokingly: "Don't be jealous."
"Let me tell you something serious." Ye Mingqian put the diamond necklace back into the gift box, and then carefully hugged the bag to her chest.
"You tell me." Seeing how much she valued the things Huo Jili gave her, Chi Yanchen narrowed his eyes and reached out to pick up Ye Mingqian's bag and put it on his shoulder.
Ye Mingqian wanted to grab it, but at this moment the elevator door opened, and there was a circle of people waiting for the elevator standing outside.
"Hello, Master Huo, hello Miss Ye."
The medical staff in the crowd recognized the two people in the elevator and greeted them respectfully.
"Young Master Chi, please go first." Ye Mingqian smiled brightly, his tone gritted.
With a proud smile on his lips, Chi Yanchen walked out of the elevator with long legs. Ye Mingqian followed behind, walking gracefully in small steps. When she was in a deserted place, she quickly caught up with the man.
"Give me my bag back."
Ye Mingqian wanted to grab it, but unfortunately the opponent was so tall that even if she jumped up in high heels, she couldn't reach her. Angrily, she stared at Chi Yanchen, who was indifferent and smiled at her, "As a It is the duty of a qualified gentleman to help a lady carry her bag."
"Then just take it."
Helpless, Ye Mingqian walked past him and walked in front of him bitterly, her thin high heels stepping hard on the floor, and her clear voice showed the owner's anger.
"Why do you get angry every time you see me?" Chi Yanchen was puzzled. He had long arms and legs, and he caught up with her in two steps.
"I'll be angry if you don't mess with me?" Ye Mingqian stopped when she heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Sometimes I don't understand what Master Chi is thinking, and I don't even visit Mr. Huo when I come to the hospital. Instead, follow me out.”
"I came to see you because of my engagement with the Shu family next week. Why should I go upstairs?" Chi Yanchen didn't want to see Huo Jili.
Ye Mingqian frowned, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Make up lessons." Chi Yanchen spat out two words that Ye Mingqian couldn't understand at all.
"What lessons should I make up for?"
"With the network of people present and the Huo family and the Shu family, do you plan to deal with everything with a smile without opening your mouth to speak?" Chi Yanchen said sternly: "Don't embarrass the Huo family."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ye Mingqian's face.
Chi Yanchen was right. Although she had already made up for Huo Jili's favorite connections, it did not mean that she could match the faces of the people present. If the wrong name was called, it would not only be extremely rude, but also the scene would be very embarrassing. .
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
Chi Yanchen raised her chin with frivolous eyes, "Let's talk in bed."
Ye Mingqian's expression did not change, and he even showed a charming smile. The man's eyes flashed with surprise, and the next second, the pain in his feet made him take a breath.
"Is this how you treat your savior?" Chi Yanchen endured the pain and twitched his face.
