” Also, dig out the flesh of this small pumpkin, stuff it in, and steam it. He likes the taste of it.”
Wen Ruan, who was about to cut the small pumpkin into shreds and stir-fry it, froze slightly with the kitchen knife in her hand.
In her memory, Huo Hannian was never picky with his food every time he took her out for a meal. But after thinking about it, he did order a lot of food, but he didn’t eat much.
Wen Ruan raised her long eyelashes and looked at Su Ruoxi with a smile.” Sister Ruoxi understands him well. Sister Ruoxi, you can tell me more about him!””
Su Ruoxi looked at Wen Ruan, who was smiling with deep dimples at the corner of her mouth. She looked incredibly beautiful and a complicated look flashed across her eyes.
“Sure.”
Nearly an hour later, Wen Ruan heard some noise coming from the door. She wiped her hands on her apron and said,” They’re probably here. I’ll go take a look.””
Su Ruoxi nodded.” Alright.”
Wen Ruan jogged out. Huo Hannian had already opened the door. He stood at the entrance with a similarly tall figure behind him.
Huo Hannian soon spotted Wen Ruan. Seeing that she was wearing an apron, he narrowed his dark eyes.” Are you cooking?”
Wen Ruan nodded.” I’ll go with Sister Xiruo.””
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall figure behind Huo Hannian said,” You’re Ah Nian’s girlfriend, Wen Ruan, right? I’m Li Rui, Ah Nian’s university classmate.”
Just as Wen Ruan was about to greet Li Rui, there was a sudden sound from the kitchen.
Li Rui walked past Wen Ruan and ran towards the kitchen.
“Sister Xiruo, are you alright?”
Li Rui looked at Su Ruoxi, whose face was pale and her fingers were red from the soup. He asked with concern,
Su Ruoxi shook her head.” Maybe it’s because I’ve been standing for too long. My blood sugar is low.””
As she spoke, she looked up at Li Rui.” Xiao Rui, it’s been so many years since we last met. You’re still as handsome as before.””
Li Rui’s family owned a martial arts club in Chinatown. He was upright and hated evil as if he was his enemy. He was a person who did not know how to hide his emotions.
When he was in university, he often went to Huo Hannian’s house to freeload food and had a good impression of the gentle Su Ruoxi.
Li Rui had already heard about Su Ruoxi’s health condition from Huo Hannian on the plane. Seeing that her fingers were scalded red, he frowned and said unhappily,” Sister Ruoxi, why don’t you rest if you’re not feeling well?” Some people don’t know how to understand you!”
Wen Ruan, who was walking towards the kitchen, was slightly stunned when she heard Li Rui’s words.
This Mr. Li didn’t seem to have a good impression of her!
“Ah Nian, do you have a first-aid kit at home? Sister Ruoxi was scalded.”
Li Rui pulled Su Ruoxi out.
When Su Ruoxi walked past Wen Ruan, she said softly,” Miss Wen, don’t mind him. Xiao Rui is not a good talker.”
Wen Ruan’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Huo Hannian took off his coat and walked into the living room. When he heard Li Rui’s words, he glanced at Su Ruoxi’s reddened fingers.
He pursed his thin lips and strode into the bedroom.
Su Ruoxi was pushed onto the sofa by Li Rui. He took the medicine box from Huo Hannian and said unhappily,” Sister Ruoxi, you’re too nice to Ah Nian. Wouldn’t it be easier if we went out for a meal?””
“It’s just a small injury. It’s fine.” Su Ruoxi looked at Hannian.” Ah Nian, will I cause trouble for you and Miss Wen if I stay here?””
Huo Hannian’s mind was on Wen Ruan in the kitchen. When he heard Su Ruoxi’s words, he said softly,”No.””
With that, he strode towards the kitchen.
There was still a vegetable that had yet to be stir-fried. Wen Ruan stood in front of the table and placed the washed vegetable into the pot.
Suddenly, a pair of slender and strong arms reached over and hugged her slender waist from behind.
Wen Ruan raised her hand and patted the back of Huo Hannian’s hand.” Don’t mess around. It won’t be good if people see us later!””
Huo Hannian lowered his head and kissed Wen Ruan’s ear.” Don’t cook so much in the future. I’ll ask the chef to make you whatever you want to eat.””
“Why don’t you cook for me?”
Huo Hannian chuckled.”Alright, I’ll make it for you another day.””
After the dishes were all cooked and served on the table, Li Rui smacked his lips.” I haven’t eaten Sister Ruoxi’s cooking in a long time. It smells so good.””
Su Ruoxi smiled.” I only made two dishes. The rest were made by Miss Wen.””
Li Rui pointed at the steamed chicken and steamed pork with pumpkin.” I guess Sister Ruoxi made these two dishes. Ah Nian is so lucky. Sister Ruoxi always makes his favorite dishes.””
Huo Hannian picked up a piece of chicken for Li Rui.” Can’t you shut your mouth by eating?””
“Sister Ruoxi, look at him. It’s been a few years, but he’s still so heartless.”
Wen Ruan sat next to Huo Hannian and watched as they chatted and laughed. When they talked about their school days abroad, she couldn’t get a word in. She felt like she didn’t fit in.
After dinner, Li Rui stayed in the Bauhinia Garden to chat with Su Ruoxi while Huo Hannian left with Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan sat in the front passenger seat. She was rather quiet throughout the journey.
Huo Hannian freed his hand from the steering wheel and wrapped it around Wen Ruan’s slender hand.
“Old Li likes Sister Ruoxi, that’s why he isn’t so passionate towards you.”
Wen Ruan lowered her long eyelashes that were as thick as butterfly wings. She was not angry with Li Rui. After all, she was not a Chinese Yuan that could make everyone like her.
She was just a little lost. She thought that she was close enough with Huo Hannian, but when Su Ruoxi came back, she realized that there was an invisible wall between them.
She had never participated in his past, nor could she blend in.
When they were chatting, she could only listen from the side or smile awkwardly.
She would have the illusion that she was the extra one!
Wen Ruan had always been meticulous. She could feel that Su Ruoxi did not simply treat Huo Hannian as a younger brother.
Perhaps she was overthinking things, but this feeling would pop up from time to time after seeing Su Ruoxi today.
Seeing that Wen Ruan was silent, Huo Hannian lowered his long eyelashes and seemed to be thinking about something. He pinched her fingers and said,” We’ll be there soon.””
Wen Ruan hummed faintly.
Huo Hannian drove the Phantom into the most luxurious villa district in the Imperial City. The car stopped in front of a villa with a large courtyard. He got out of the car and opened the door for Wen Ruan.” Do you like it here?””
Wen Ruan was not in the mood to size her up. She pursed her lips slightly and said,” Because you gave Bauhinia Garden to Sister Ruoxi, you’re afraid that I’ll be angry. Are you going to give me a villa?””
Huo Hannian stared at Wen Ruan’s pretty face and said in a low and hoarse voice,” I’m not afraid that you’ll be angry, but I want you to know that no one can match your position in my heart!””
Wen Ruan’s heart tightened, and his hands that were hanging by his sides slightly clenched into fists.
She didn’t expect him to be so sensitive as to capture her emotions.
She bit her lip and said softly,” Actually, I’m not as generous as you think I am. When I went to the Bauhinia Garden today and saw Sister Ruoxi wearing your slippers, I felt a little uncomfortable.” During dinner, you guys talked about the past. I couldn’t participate in it. I suddenly felt that I was still very far away from you.”
