It's still early today, only six o'clock.
As soon as you enter the door, the smell of food hits your nostrils.
Did the workaholic also finish an early shift? Qin Mian murmured in his heart.
"Madam, the meal will be ready in ten minutes." Aunt Xu poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile when she heard the door closing.
"Okay." Qin Mian nodded, took off his down jacket, tilted his head and whispered: "Did Aunt Xu win the lottery? Are you so happy today?"
Anna covered her mouth and smiled. You must know that the husband rarely comes back so early. Since the wife was injured, the husband has come back more often. They saw it and couldn't help but feel happy for the wife.
When passing by the living room, Qin Mian took a special look and saw that there was no one there.
Without thinking about it, she carried the unfinished half bag of cat food into the storage room next to the kitchen on the first floor.
The heating in the villa was fully turned on, and she wore velvet pajamas underneath. After moving a few times, she felt a little hot, but after all, there were people at home, so she couldn't just take off the thick pajamas outside.
After going upstairs, changing clothes and going to the bathroom, Qin Mian went downstairs.
In the restaurant, Huo Lin was already sitting at the dining table. He had taken off his suit jacket. Underneath was a waistcoat and a white shirt of the same color. The fitting clothes outlined his perfect lines.
As the male protagonist, Huo Lin's figure and appearance are certainly not bad, and Qin Mian has also seen it.
It was the summer vacation of her sophomore year, and she followed her parents to the Huo Mansion to visit the old man and his wife. However, something went wrong with her parents' project during the middle of the program, so she hurried back to the institute. She originally wanted to go back after dinner, but the old man and his wife He insisted on keeping her for one night, but she couldn't shirk it, so she stayed.
She woke up from thirst in the middle of the night, and got up in a daze to look for water. It turned out that Huo Mansion was too big, so she walked around but couldn't find any water, so she found an indoor swimming pool.
Through the moonlight, she stood behind a pillar and saw Huo Lin who had just finished swimming and was standing on the edge of the pool, wearing a pair of tight-fitting black boxer briefs and holding a bath towel in one hand to wipe the water.
The water column slid along his black hair from his collarbone, chest, abdominal muscles and finally to the edge of his underwear.
She didn't even bother looking for water at that time and ran away in a hurry.
"You're back." She adjusted her expression, pulled out her chair, and sat down opposite Huo Lin.
"Yeah." Huo Lin glanced at her.
She changed into a cream-yellow nightgown embroidered with small flowers, her long black hair was tied back, her delicate face was unpainted, and she had a faint smile.
"This weekend, I'll go back to my old house for dinner."
From time to time, her grandparents would let the couple go back to their old house for dinner. Qin Mian was used to this. She nodded, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
The restaurant was very quiet, with only the occasional slight sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.
She and Huo Lin rarely ate at the same table, so she felt a little uncomfortable at first, but the food cooked by Aunt Xu was so delicious that she forgot about the presence of people across from her while eating.
She was enjoying her meal when her cell phone on the table suddenly buzzed. She glanced casually and saw that it was Fu Shiyu, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Clicking on the picture sent by Fu Shiyu, it was a little orange cat that looked to be only about two months old. It was sleeping soundly in the cat's nest with its belly turned over.
So cute! !
Qin Mian screamed in her heart, with an uncontrollable aunt's smile on her face.
Fu Shiyu: This is an orange cat rescued by the hospital.
Strawberry Cotton Ice: So cute!
Fu Shiyu sent a cat emoticon, and then sent another message.
Fu Shiyu: I have sorted out the information and will send it to you shortly. If you have any questions, please ask me directly.
The girl bit her red lips with white teeth, and her beautiful eyes were full of smiles, which was completely different from her previous obedient appearance.
"Qin Mian."
Qin Mian, who was typing, raised his head and looked at Huo Lin, who had a poker face, with some doubts on his face.
"Don't use your phone while eating."
Qin Mian was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and said, "You play with your phone while eating, why should you blame me?"
When did he play with his phone while eating? Huo Lin frowned and thought for a long time before he remembered that when he was having dinner at home, his subordinate sent him a software that needed to be reviewed personally. He checked it in his mobile email and replied to the message.
"Qin Mian, I did it for work."
"I'm doing this for work!" Qin Mian's voice rose a notch higher. She was seventy percent full after eating, but now she's very full.
She got up and went upstairs without even pushing the chair in.
…
The weekend has arrived in a blink of an eye.
After something unpleasant happened at the dinner table, the two of them didn't see each other for several days.
Qin Mian didn't have much time to think about this these days. After reading some information about the rescue of stray cats sent by Fu Shiyu, she had been paying attention to this aspect for the past few days. When she discussed the matter with Fu Shiyu, she stopped by to visit Fu Shiyu's pet hospital.
Although I knew that Fu Shiyu was not a man short of money, I never expected that Fu Shiyu's pet hospital could be as big as four or five floors. It was no different from a hospital where people live, and the business was very good.
Qin Mian looked at a little girl wearing a cute bear coat and twin ponytails holding a box. She curiously leaned over to see what it was. When she discovered that it was a light pink snake, she took two steps back in fright.
"This is a hognose snake, with a relatively gentle personality." Fu Shiyu gently supported Qin Mian's shoulders, and then retracted his hand without leaving a trace after she stood still.
"Really?" She patted her chest, "Can your hospital treat any animal?"
"Any ordinary exotic pet will do." Fu Shiyu had a smile in his eyes.
Qin Mian nodded, feeling a little like a country girl coming to the city. She thought the pet hospital was just for cats and dogs, or at most rabbits, hamsters and the like.
There were many people coming and going with their pets to see the doctor. Qin Mian tried to stay aside so as not to see any more snakes, bugs or the like.
Fu Shiyu knew that she was afraid of such small animals, so he walked beside her to prevent anyone from accidentally touching her while carrying the cage.
After the two went downstairs and said goodbye, Fu Shiyu watched her trot into the car and waited for the car to leave before walking back.
…
"Madam, you're here, I'm ready to go up and find you." Anna breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qin Mian get into the car.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mian was a little strange.
"Sir said he called you but you didn't answer. He has already gone back. Let's go back early. We need to go to Huo Mansion in the afternoon."
Qin Mian frowned and took out his mobile phone from his bag, only to find that the phone had been muted at some point. When he opened it, he saw that there was indeed a missed call.
She didn't reply and just asked the driver to go home.
…
When we returned to the villa, it was almost half past three.
Fortunately, today she knew she was going to Huo Mansion for dinner. Qin Mian changed her clothes and put on light makeup, so she got out of the car and got into the black Bentley waiting outside the villa.
