Although this incident happened suddenly and was not very friendly, fortunately it did not affect Jing Li's mood much, and Huo Qiran breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was such a fuss, today was the day the two of them made an appointment to meet the Huo family for dinner. Although Huo Qiran wanted to cancel it, Jing Li still urged him to leave the hotel.
Huo Qiran's car parked in the underground parking lot, and the two of them went directly to the second floor below. Unexpectedly, as soon as the elevator door opened, there were suddenly several people in front of them, as well as several cameras, which were clicking desperately at the two people in the elevator.
Jing Li was stunned for a moment, while Huo Qiran subconsciously protected her behind him.
The next moment, a series of questions came directly to my face——
"Mr. Huo, is this your girlfriend?"
"Excuse me, what is this lady's name? Is she from a famous family?"
"When did you meet? How long have you been dating?"
"Mr. Huo, do you admit that this is your official girlfriend? Or are you in another relationship?"
Huo Qiran seemed to have no intention of responding to the previous questions. He directly protected Jing Li and walked out of the elevator. However, when he heard the last question, he stopped and looked at the person who asked the question.
In an instant everyone stopped and looked at him expectantly.
Huo Qiran held Jing Li's hand tightly and slowly raised it in front of everyone.
"This is my girlfriend, my only official girlfriend. I have known each other for many years and have been in a serious relationship. The reason why we have not announced it to the outside world is because we are not public figures, just an ordinary couple among ordinary people.
, I don’t want to be exposed or disturbed too much, so please forgive me. We will not respond to related questions again, thank you, and goodbye.”
After he answered this, the people in front of him still refused to give up and kept asking questions.
Huo Qiran did as he said, and did not answer any questions, but just pulled Jing Li towards the car.
Jing Li followed him obediently without saying a word. When Huo Qiran walked forward, she walked forward; when Huo Qiran stopped, she stopped; Huo Qiran opened the passenger door and escorted her into the car, and she got in obediently.
car.
Huo Qiran then walked back to the driver's seat, avoided the paparazzi's pursuit, got in the car, and started the car.
Several paparazzi were still knocking on the window outside without giving up, but Huo Qiran just pretended that they could not hear or see, turned to look at Jing Li, stretched out his hand to gently touch her face, and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Jing Li seemed to be still in a daze. When she met his gaze, she calmed down after a while and smiled softly, "It's okay."
Her eyes were rippling, and the corners of her lips were smiling. It seemed that instead of being troubled by this situation, she was becoming happier.
Huo Qiran paused, then gently leaned forward and kissed her lips in front of so many paparazzi outside the window, and then said: "It's okay."
The two people looked at each other and smiled, ignoring the flashing lights outside the car window, kissed again, and then drove out of the parking lot.
When the two of them arrived at Huo's house, besides Mu Qian's car, there was another car that Huo Qiran was familiar with parked in the garage.
"Auntie is here." Huo Qiran turned to Jingli and said, "Do you remember? You have seen her before."
Jing Li nodded, "Of course I remember."
"Then you probably don't mind meeting your aunt, right?"
Seeing his cautious look, Jing Li laughed again.
After getting off the car, Huo Qiran quickly took Jing Li's hand and entered the house.
In the room, Mu Qian and Lu Yuan were sitting on the sofa chatting. When they saw the two people walking in holding hands, they immediately stopped talking and just watched Huo Qiran and Jing Li approaching with calm eyes.
"Mom, aunt." Huo Qiran casually pulled Jing Li forward and said to the two of them, "I'll take Jing Li home for dinner."
Compared to his casualness, Jing Li felt a little uneasy.
In her impression, Mu Qian had always loved to talk and laugh. Although she had only met Lu Yuan once, she remembered that she was gentle and kind. But now, the two of them looked at her with such expressions, and Jing
Li really doesn't know how to face it.
Could it be that they looked at her like this because they saw the messy comments on the Internet?
Jing Li was thinking this, but Huo Qiran was secretly urging her to call someone. Jing Li calmed down and said, "Hello Aunt Mu, hello Aunt Lu..."
Huo Qiran only felt that her way of calling people was a bit strange. Just as he turned to look at her, he suddenly heard Mu Qian say: "Jing Li..."
The two of them looked at Mu Qian. Mu Qian still had no smile on her face and just said, "There are so many messages about you and Qi Ran on the Internet today. What do you think?"
Jing Li paused, but before she spoke, Huo Qiran said: "Mom, why are you asking this? Aren't you always disgusted with the infinite amplification of everything on the Internet?"
Mu Qian glanced at him coolly, "I'm asking Jing Li, why are you interrupting?"
Huo Qiran was stunned, and turned to look at Lu Yuan for help. However, his aunt, who had always loved and cared about him so much, seemed to not be able to see his eyes at this moment. She lowered her head and stirred the teacup in front of her as if it had nothing to do with her.
Huo Qiran couldn't help but stretched out his hand and squeezed Jing Li tightly. The next moment, Jing Li said: "Auntie, I know there is a lot of news about me on the Internet, and I have also seen a little. I can only say that many things are not true.
, but I don’t have to explain or prove anything to them. If you have any doubts, aunt, you can ask me in person, and I will answer truthfully."
But Mu Qian said: "The authenticity of the news is not the key. Do you know what is the key?"
Jing Li thought and considered, and when she was considering how to answer, Mu Qian suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, reached out and pinched Huo Qiran's ears, "The key is that this brat is so incompetent.
Yeah! I know that those paparazzi are everywhere, but they are still so careless. I don’t know what the virtues of those paparazzi are? Can people who are targeted by them live a peaceful life? Do you have any brains and do you care about your girlfriend?
Have you considered it?"
Huo Qiran and Jing Li were still stunned. Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh at first. Only then did the two of them realize that Mu Qian was not showing off to Jing Li...
"Mom!" Huo Qiran instantly held Jing Li's hand tighter, "You scared Jing Li!"
"Are you scared?" Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and looked at Jing Li, "Was I scared just now?"
"It's scary!" Huo Qiran answered first.
At this time, Jing Li gently pushed his waist and said softly: "No."
As soon as the words fell, the three women laughed at the same time.
Mu Qian stretched out her hand and pulled Jing Li to sit next to the sofa. Huo Qiran could only hold her forehead and sigh helplessly.
