"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.
