"Yes, the lady is still resting upstairs! She is exhausted from the long flight." The servant said, Shule's status in this family is that of the eldest lady.
"Oh!" Huo Yanxiao straightened his suit and pulled on his tie, his handsome face calm.
"Mr. Vice President, please have a cup of tea first. The master has gone out for a while and will be back. The wife is in the kitchen. She wants to cook some dishes for the miss herself."
"Okay." Huo Yanxiao nodded, picked up the tea cup and brought it to his lips.
Huo Yanxiao has been sitting on the sofa for more than ten minutes. He also stayed in the office for a long time today. He got up and planned to take a walk. Then, he thought of a study room on the third floor. His brother-in-law had collected a lot of classic books. He wanted to go up there to pass the time.
.
In the master bedroom on the third floor at this moment, Shu Le has already gotten up. She has just sorted out the dozen books she brought back this time. She is going to move them to the study room on the third floor to store them. She knows that Ning Qingquan likes reading. This time she
So I vacated most of my suitcase and brought him back a dozen books.
Shu Le came out of the room with more than a dozen books in her arms. Just after passing through the entrance hall, a figure suddenly approached her and scared her.
"Ah!" Her hands were originally full of books, but now all the books slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.
Huo Yanxiao was stunned for a few seconds, and then he saw a small, white and picturesque face coming into view.
"Girl, long time no see." He smiled, squatted down, and picked up the book first.
"Uncle, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Shu Le crouched down quickly. When she saw his hand picking up a book, she reached out and grabbed it. Without holding the book, she directly grasped the man's well-jointed forehead.
Slender palms.
She hurriedly removed her hands and picked up a few more books, while the man stood up with a few books in his hands.
"Is this the new book you bought?" Huo Yanxiao looked at the name of the book and raised his head to ask her.
"Yes, I brought it back from abroad, uncle, give it to me! I'll put it on the bookcase."
"Let me help you." The man said in a low voice and took the lead in the direction of the study.
I saw that the bookshelves in the study room were full of books, and there was no room for the bookshelves below, only the top rows.
Shule put the books on the table, then skillfully picked up a small ladder hidden in the dark, went to the empty bookshelf, grabbed two books and planned to put them on them.
"Be careful." A low and gentle male voice behind her reminded her.
"It's okay, I often climb ladders!" Shu Le said with a smile. She is also a book lover abroad, so using ladders is common.
However, Shu Le had no idea that there was a mouse hidden on the warm bookshelf in the cold winter. Just when she put the book in, she startled the little mouse.
"Squeak..." A mouse squeaked, and the little mouse came out of the empty area and jumped directly towards Shu Le's face.
"Ah..." Shu Le was so frightened that he stretched out his arms and fell backwards.
Huo Yanxiao raised his starry eyes. He had already made a posture to protect her behind him. When Shu Le fell down the ladder, her back hit the man's arms, and the man's two arms hugged her tightly.
Her waist.
Shu Le's face turned pale with fright, his hands and feet were still trembling, and he pointed at the bookshelf, "There are... there are mice."
Huo Yanxiao secretly let go of his hand and patted her gently, "Don't be afraid."
The man's deep voice had an inexplicable power to calm people's hearts. Shu Le couldn't help but turn her head. The night light outside the window was too dark, so she couldn't see the man's facial features clearly, but she felt his eyes were bright and compelling.
"No, I have to get rid of it. Otherwise, what will happen if it bites the book?" Shule was scared just now, but now she became brave again. She looked around for something, then thought of something, and curved her lips and smiled.
, "I'll borrow a cat tomorrow and scare it away!"
Huo Yanxiao looked at her, and he didn't know that he was infected by her smile, which made him purse his lips and smile.
On both sides of her cheeks, those eye-catching dimples are hard to take away.
Shu Le happened to look up at him, and she was immediately attracted by this look. Even though she had seen many people with dimples abroad in the past few years, Huo Yanxiao's dimples were the most charming shape she had ever seen!
Shu Le couldn't help but tilted his head and smiled, jokingly saying, "Uncle, when will you find me an aunt!"
Huo Yanxiao couldn't help but snort, "What are you thinking about, little girl?"
"Of course I'm also concerned about your life-long events! I'm wondering which girl is so lucky to marry the youngest and handsome vice president in our country!" Shu Le chuckled and went to get those few books to prepare.
Go up the ladder.
Huo Yanxiao stepped forward and snatched her book, "I'll do it!"
"Then be careful." Shu Le held the ladder for him, and Huo Yanxiao easily put the book on it.
Then, he left a copy in his hand and asked Shu Le, "Can you lend it to me?"
"Of course." Schule was a little happy. It was a great honor to let Mr. Vice President read the book she chose!
At this moment, Shu Le's cell phone rang. It was in her pocket. She reached out and picked it up and saw that it was the number of her good friend Mu Yang.
"Hey! Brother Mu Yang." She picked up happily.
"Why didn't you call me when you arrived in China? Didn't you say you wanted to send me a message immediately?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, I forgot. I was so excited when I came back, and then I fell asleep again and forgot about it. Brother Mu Yang, please forgive me!"
Shu Le was answering the phone at the side, unaware that a pair of deep eyes on her side were looking at her, and her impeccable handsome face seemed to be filled with some complex thoughts.
"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow anyway, just treat me to a big dinner."
"Okay, when you come back, I will definitely treat you to a big dinner." Shu Le curved his lips and smiled, slightly raising his face, with a comfortable and gentle profile, eyes like stars, lips blooming like delicate flowers, revealing a
Neatly arranged white teeth.
And this scene fell into the man's eyes, causing a ripple, when Shu Le noticed it and turned around to look over.
Huo Yanxiao looked away first and looked down at the book in his hand.
Only then did Shu Le realize that he was reading. She went out while busy chatting, not wanting to disturb someone's reading.
After chatting for five or six minutes, Shu Le came in again and looked at the man sitting on the sofa reading a book. He was wearing a white shirt, vest and black trousers of the same color. His eyebrows were lowered and he was twisting a page of the book with his long fingers.
She couldn't help but breathe slightly. She finally knew what it means to be noble, what it means to be extraordinary, and what it means to be calm and self-reliant, because it was just the right word to describe this little uncle!
Anyway, we didn’t have dinner so soon, so Shu Le also took out a book and sat down to flip through it.
She thought she could read as comfortably as in the library, but obviously, the atmosphere was not right.
Sitting next to him was Huo Yanxiao, who had a silent and spontaneous aura that seemed to envelope the whole study in a depressing atmosphere. It was really miserable to stay with him reading.
"Ahem...little uncle, I'm going downstairs first." Shu Le left voluntarily.
Huo Yanxiao raised his head and looked at her back as she went out. He breathed a sigh of relief and closed the book in his hand. In fact, he was not reading seriously, he was just pretending.
He can handle all kinds of complex interpersonal relationships, but he can't get along with a little girl comfortably. Who would believe it if he said it?
