you are so nice lady

Chapter 31 No sense of crisis

The dinner was not very pleasant, even awkward and depressing.

Maybe because of what Huo Shishen said, Mr. Huo didn't blame Ning Xiaoman too much for a while.

Tan Xinran was unwilling to let this matter pass like this, and was afraid that Huo Shishen would really sue her in court, so she paused a lot during the meal.

She occasionally shot one or two cold arrows, but they were all thrown back by Ji Jiamu, a man who claimed to have no gentlemanly demeanor.

Not only did she not get any benefits, but she also caused a lot of trouble, and even Mr. Huo annoyed her a little in the end.

After sending old master Huo and Tan Xinran away, Ning Xiaoman never recovered from Huo Shishen's words.

Mr. Huo is the elder he respects the most. He has watched him grow up since he was a child, and he just defends himself in front of him like that.

It would be a lie to say that he is impassive.

He said that even if he wanted to stand at the pinnacle of power one day, the person standing by his side would definitely be her.

Is this his promise to her?
Promise that things in the previous life will never happen?

She still remembered the last moment in the cellar, seeing not only Huo Shishen in charge of the Haunting Group, but also Tan Xinran beside him.

Although he didn't recognize Tan Xinran's status, if she could stand by his side, does it mean...

At that time, he was already slowly accepting her?
Ning Xiaoman suddenly felt stagnant in his heart, as if a sponge was blocked, wetted by backflowing tears, falling more and more heavily in his heart, pressing down heavily.

but……

Huo Shishen didn't know what happened in his previous life at all, and at that time, he might have hated her...

Even if he later accepted Tan Xinran, she has no position to criticize, does she?

Ning Xiaoman put the bath water, feeling heavy pain in his heart, his eyes were slightly distracted until the water in the bathtub overflowed.

"Ma'am! Ma'am!"

Ning Xiaoman was immersed in his own thoughts, and after being yelled at by Aunt Li, he suddenly came to his senses.

"ah!"

She screamed and hurriedly opened the stopper of the bathtub and let the excess water flow down the pipe.

Seeing that her clothes were all wet, Mrs. Li hurriedly pulled her up, "Madam, go and change your clothes first. I'll clean them up. Mr. is still talking about things down there. When you come up and see your clothes are wet, why don't you come up again?" I'm going to miss you."

Huo Shishen usually looks indifferent and casual, but he is also extremely self-disciplined, with strong self-control and execution ability.

But Ning Xiaoman's lifestyle is so sloppy, she grew up in an orphanage, she doesn't care about many details, and sometimes Huo Shishen talks about it.

He looks difficult to get along with, but he is actually very careful and patient.

It's just that Ning Xiaoman knows that only she can enjoy this patience.

The haze in her heart suddenly dissipated a little, and she no longer entangled in the past.

As long as you are happy now, hurry up, everything else doesn't matter.

"Well, I will trouble you here, Mrs. Li."

Ning Xiaoman nodded, changed into casual pajamas, and hurried downstairs.

It happened that Huo Shishen and Ji Jiamu came out of the study, looking like they had finished talking.

Ning Xiaoman's footsteps suddenly became much lighter, and he ran to Huo Shishen with a smile, and nodded his toes, "Are you done talking?"

She has the shy appearance of a little woman, and her joy and shyness when she sees her sweetheart is vividly displayed.

Fangcai was a man with an expressionless face, only calmness and rationality in his eyes, without any fluctuations, his eyes like ink melted slightly the moment he saw her running over.

"Ah."

He stretched out his hand to catch Ning Xiaoman's rushing body, and wrapped his hands around her waist, and said in a hoarse voice with imperceptible tenderness: "Slow down, don't fall."

Ning Xiaoman smiled at him, eyes full of dependence and trust, "I know you won't let me fall!"

The corners of Huo Shishen's mouth were also slightly raised, and he reached out and stroked her head lightly, "En."

Ji Jiamu, who had been ignored for a long time, finally let out the roar of a single dog, "Will you two become blind when you two fall in love? Can't you see that there is another me beside you?"

It was rare that Ning Xiaoman didn't talk back to him, blushed, and shyly withdrew from Huo Shishen's arms, "I'm sorry... I'm so happy I'm a little carried away, by the way, how did your talk go?"

Ji Jiamu snorted, "Ask your own man."

Seeing that Ning Xiaoman seemed to have changed his clothes, he suddenly put his arms around his chest and looked up and down, "Ning Xiaoman, is this what you wear at home?"

"...What's wrong?"

Ning Xiaoman looked down at his clothes, long clothes and trousers, gray cartoon casual suit, very casual and comfortable and at home, "Isn't this pretty?"

Ji Jiamu "tsk tsk" a few times, then shook his head, "If you don't have a fancy little suit, you need a cool little sling. Only when you beat those little goblins outside can you tie your man firmly by your side, you know?" don't know?"

He always speaks without restraint, Ning Xiao blushed even more, and glared at him, "Do you think Ah Shen is you? After dinner, business deal, get out if you have nothing to do, don't disturb my husband and I world!"

"Ning Xiaoman, you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. I did you such a big favor, you have to brew at least three bottles of wine for me!"

"..."

Ning Xiaoman heaved a sigh of relief after fighting and sending Ji Jiamu away.

Now there were only her and Huo Shishen left in the house, and Tan Xinran didn't bother them anymore, and felt that the air was much fresher.

Mrs. Li had already put out the bath water, she was soaking comfortably, and Huo Shishen was dealing with the rest in the bedroom.

He is very quiet when he thinks, and although he doesn't usually talk much, he can almost be said to be silent when he is working.

Ning Xiaoman could only occasionally hear the sound of typing on the keyboard once or twice from outside the bathroom, other than that, let's go to other things.

Even in such tranquility, she felt a sense of security being surrounded.

The water in the bathtub was still steaming, engulfing her consciousness bit by bit, her eyes gradually blurred, and she felt drowsy.

She fell asleep in the bathtub in such a daze.

When Huo Shishen came in, he was a little angry, angry that she didn't have any sense of crisis.

But seeing her tired and peaceful face, she couldn't get angry anymore.

Ning Xiaoman was fished out of the water by the man.

"Huo Shishen..." She murmured, tilted her head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Huo Shishen chuckled, and finally shook his head helplessly.
