Chapter 117 The tenderness was engraved into the bones
Yu Ruanruan was stunned, and suddenly felt funny, "Heh."
"so what?"
She looked at Huo Xu, her almond-shaped eyes were clear but gleaming with cold light, and the corners of her bright red lips curled into a slight smile.
"She went to Qiangyuan, but did not enter the door. She stood in the snow for four or five hours before being discovered by the guard."
Sensing the change in the girl's attitude, Huo Xu's voice became deeper and he got straight to the point, "I sent someone to take her back to the Yu family, and then I came here to wait for you."
The sarcastic smile on Yu Ruanruan's lips froze, she coughed lightly, and quickly looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Is there a causal relationship between the two?"
"If not, why did I wait for you?"
"I……"
The base of Yu Ruanruan's ears felt hot. This person seemed to be able to read minds and could see through himself at a glance.
She felt awkward and snorted coldly, "After standing there for four or five hours, she was almost freezing. Why didn't Mr. Huo take her in for a few days? After all, she ran away after being wronged in the Yu family."
"What about you? What to do with your grievances?"
Huo Xufeng stared at her and asked this question unexpectedly.
What to do with your grievance?
Yu Ruanruan instantly felt as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points.
When she met Huo Xu's gaze, the circles under her eyes were slightly hot and her heart felt sour.
She never thought that one day this man would completely stand in her shoes and speak for her.
She had waited so long for this moment and spent all her luck in her previous life.
But even if she finally got the preference she had longed for, at this moment she no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes.
"I...I'm hungry. What did you buy? Let me see if I can make a simple dinner."
Yu Ruanruan did not expect that at the moment of receiving Huo Xu's blatant preference, her first reaction would be to escape.
She stood up and walked towards the kitchen table, taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart.
If the mind does not move, there will be no pain.
He just feels guilty towards you, and being sentimental will only land you in jail again.
Huo Xu looked at the girl's stubborn back, his eyes deepened, the heartache in his eyes was connected to his chest, and the lung tubes involved were aching faintly.
He took a step forward, sullenly, grabbed her, pressed her down on the dining chair, and then took out a can of Yunnan Baiyao spray from the shopping bag.
He put his big hand on her brow bone and said, "Close your eyes. Although you are not bleeding, the swelling will get worse if it is not reduced in time."
Yu Ruoruan discovered that the man carried trauma medicine with him, from taking it internally to applying it externally. After all, he still had a wound on his head.
She closed her eyes obediently.
The spicy medicine of Yunnan Baiyao is slightly irritating when sprayed on the forehead.
Her eyes were stung with saline water, and she couldn't bear it and grabbed Huo Xu's hand, "That's okay, I'll do it myself."
"Um."
Huo Xu didn't continue, handed her the spray, and then took the fruits, vegetables, meat and vegetables in the shopping bag into the kitchen.
Yu Ruoruan had actually bought anti-swelling ointment on her way back. She went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, applying the ointment to herself. She looked at the bulging bump on her forehead and looked slightly startled.
She has already thought about her next action. Although she may not see immediate results, she believes that she can always find some clues.
She put one hand on the sink and dialed Cheng Zishan's phone number with the other.
As an international singer, Cheng Zishan is even busier with the New Year announcement. However, even though she is touring abroad at the moment and has a time difference of more than ten hours, she still quickly answered her daughter's call.
"Baby, do you miss mommy? Wow, I'm sorry, mommy is incompetent and can't stay with you even during the holidays. But this performance won't last long, and mommy will be able to return to China in three days."
Cheng Zishan consciously admitted her mistakes as soon as she came up.
Yu Ruanruan couldn't laugh or cry.
How could she blame her mother? Her mother had her own career, her own ideals, and lived a life that she envied. It was too late for her to admire and admire her.
"Mom, I am an adult and can take care of myself."
"Hey~ you said that, Mommy's conscience is even more uneasy. Is there anything I need Mommy to do?"
"It really does."
Yu Ruoruan said in a serious tone, "I've suddenly been feeling nostalgic recently. I remembered my life in an orphanage when I was a child, so I especially want to do something for those poor children. Mom, you have a lot of connections, can you help me organize an event?"
Children's charity fund-raising party? I would like to invite those upper-class dignitaries who have children at home to attend my charity fund-raising party."
The daughter's words immediately brought the mother to tears.
Cheng Zishan sobbed and said, "My poor baby, it's all because of your mother's fault that you suffered so much."
"Mom, I'm talking to you about business."
"Okay, Mom knows, I'll let your eldest brother make the arrangements. If you have any requests, tell Mom, and Mom will ask the planning department to draw up a plan."
“Well, I’ll make an outline and send it to you via WeChat later.”
"Hey~ My baby is so kind. You must be the little angel God gave to mommy. Mommy will leave all the good things to you, and your three brothers will never get any!"
Yu Ruanruan couldn't laugh or cry, she always felt that there was still a wayward girl living in Cheng Zishan's heart.
But she cannot be as willful as her mother, because she has more important things to do.
After saying goodbye to Cheng Zishan, Yu Ruoruan hung up the phone and walked out of the bathroom.
But I heard the sound of the range hood coming from the kitchen, and the sound of the kitchen knife cutting on the chopping board.
She walked towards the kitchen and immediately saw Huo Xu taking off his coat, the cuffs of his sweater rolled up high, and skillfully cutting a lotus root with the kitchen knife in his hand.
He looked very serious when he was doing things, and the soft kitchen light shone on the side of his face, neutralizing the coldness and sharpness of the man's jawline, adding a bit of coolness and friendliness.
Yu Ruanruan's clear eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, she actually felt that Huo Xu's back looked a little familiar.
It was as if they had not only met each other in a previous life, but they had known each other before all the tragedies began.
Like a drop of water falling into the calm lake of the heart.
Ripples are everywhere.
Yu Ruanruan heard the sound of her heart beating faster, and she began to realize more and more clearly what it was that attracted her to Huo Xu.
It was this sense of déjà vu that was revealed inadvertently.
The taste of attachment.
It was as if in a dream within a dream, I had been treated tenderly by this man. That tenderness was written into my bones and engraved into my DNA, making it unforgettable.
Therefore, she is crazy and persistent, even if she is injured to pieces, she still wants to embrace this tenderness again.
Huo Xu quickly cut a row of lotus roots with the knife in his hand, put them on a clean plate, and then defrosted the ribs.
Feeling someone behind him, he turned to look at Yu Ruanruan and said in a deep voice, "Make lotus root and pork ribs soup. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon. Dinner will be served at five thirty. If you are hungry, there are snacks and chocolates in the shopping bag, take it yourself.
eat."
"You want to have dinner here?"
Yu Ruanruan came back to her senses and quickly adjusted her state. She only promised Huo Xu that he could talk to her after handling Yu Chengcheng, but she did not agree that he could enter the room or eat at the same table.
But she forgot that most men are creatures who push their limits.
It was her fault.
"I don't plan to keep you eating at my house. You can actually leave your ingredients and get out."
Seeing the guarded look on her face, Huo Xu took off his apron, washed his hands, and walked up to Yu Ruanruan.
Huo Xu is very tall, and he feels oppressive when standing in front of him, not to mention when he stares at you and approaches you?
Yu Ruoruan subconsciously took a step back.
A big hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Huo Xu held her tightly and pulled her towards him with a little force. "You don't want to investigate the abduction case? I have clues."
