When the driver saw Huo Zheng, he got out of the car and greeted him before he opened the car door for him.

Huo Zheng nodded and said, “Wait in the car. I’ll wait for the madam.”

The driver quickly returned to the driver’s seat.

At this time, Lin Xiaowan returned with her cotton candy. When she saw Huo Zheng, she quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

“It’s too sweet,” Huo Zheng said with a frown. After all, cotton candy was made of sugar and had no nutritional value.

Lin Xiaowan scoffed and carried the cotton candy into the car.

Huo Zheng followed her in and asked, “Do you like the cotton candy or the roses?”

Huo Zheng was naturally talking about the champagne roses that he had given her this morning.

Lin Xiaowan decided to give him more sweetness on Valentine’s Day so she kissed him and said, “I like Brother the most!”

In Huo Zheng’s opinion, even honey was not half as sweet as Lin Xiaowan.

Huo Zheng’s gaze softened, and he felt his heart melting. He quickly leaned over and kissed her again.

It had only been about five minutes since Huo Zheng left, and the receptionist had been secretly observing him the entire time. She could not sec what happened in the car, but she could clearly see the change in Huo Zheng’s expression and his interaction with the mysterious young woman.

She was extremely excited. She thought that it was unfortunate that it was working hours now so she had no one to share her excitement with.

She tried to calm down for a long time, but she kept recalling what she had seen. In the end, she quickly entered the group chat with a few dozen people and sent a few messages consecutively.

[Receptionist: Guess what I saw? The boss actually left during working hours to meet a mysterious woman!]

[I’m so excited right now! It’s too bad no one was around, and I was the only one who saw it!]

[The boss hugged the woman and even ate the cotton candy she handed over! After that, the two left in the car affectionately!]

Only a few minutes had passed when the replies came.

[Little Zhang: I just came out from the morning meeting. Which boss are you talking about?]

[Little Wu: Are you talking about President Huo? You’re saying he’s not single?]

[Little Liu: Didn’t President Huo bring his girlfriend previously to the annual gala? Is it the same woman?]

[Little Zhang: Where are you? This is big news!]

It took a long time before the receptionist finally replied.

[Sorry, I was busy with work earlier.]

[Yes, I’m talking about President Huo! I didn’t see the woman during the annual gala so I don’t know if they’re the same person. The woman today was standing too far away so I didn’t have a good look as well! (crying).]

[She’s slender and very fair. It’s sunny today so she looked like she was glowing under the sun!]

[Little Wu: I just came to the toilet to gossip. What else do you have?]

[Little Liu: Your description matches the woman from the annual gala. According to one of our colleagues, President Huo’s female companion was extremely fair and beautiful.]

The receptionist continued to type on her phone.

[The boss was really gentle! He was completely different from his usual aloof and taciturn self!]

[Little Zhang: How could he treat his girlfriend the way he treats us? (sigh) Today is Valentine’s Day. The boss is probably going on a date!]

[Little Liu: Tell me more. I’m going to post it on our company’s forum later! Hehehe!]

[Little Wu: Stop slacking off. In any case, tell us more! I’ll read it when I’m done with my work! ]

[Staff Xiao Wu: You can’t slack off anymore. Say more. I’ll read it at noon.]

Lin Xiaowan brought Huo Zheng to a crowded mall in the city center. The cinema was located on the fourth floor of the mall. She passed her bag to him and said seriously, “As a boyfriend, you have to take the initiative to carry your girlfriend’s bag.”

Huo Zheng was more than 1.8 meters tall. No matter how one looked at it, he looked a little funny carrying a small sequined bag. However, he did not refuse and allowed Lin Xiaowan to mess with him.

When they arrived at the fourth floor, the smell of snacks permeated the air. Although it was a working day, there were still quite a lot of people because it was Valentine’s Day.

The two of them picked up their tickets from the machine. There was still half an hour left before the movie started.

Lin Xiaowan glanced at the food counter a few times before she cleared her throat and said, “You know, you have to be more proactive when you’re out on a date with a girl. I’ve already bought the tickets…”

Lin Xiaowan gestured with her hand before she continued to say, “Shouldn’t you do something in return?”

Huo Zheng naturally knew what she was thinking. He extended his hand with his palm facing up as he said, “If you want to eat snacks, you’ll have to pay for them, right?”

Lin Xiaowan did not follow his train of thought and assumed that he wanted her to pay for the snacks. She looked at him foolishly and said, “My wallet is in the bag.”

Huo Zheng sighed before he leaned over and held her hand. He said, “The payment is holding hands. Why are you so slow?”

Huo Zheng spoke very affectionately to her, and Lin Xiaowan found it rather novel. He had never spoken like that in the past. He had really changed and did seem so reserved anymore. She quickly reached out to hold his hand before she said, “You’re the slow one. You’re the slowest person in the world!”

Huo Zheng only smiled at her and did not say anything.

Lin Xiaowan had chosen a highly-rated romance film. In the past, she rarely watched romance films. She thought that they were too fake and unrealistic, and she could not relate to them at all. However, she thought differently now that Huo Zheng had changed. She was actually looking forward to watching the movie with him.

Lin Xiaowan hugged the bucket of popcorn and French fries to her chest and ate them with relish as she said, “If you don’t like the movie or have any opinion, you can tell me.”

“Alright,” Huo Zheng said as he lifted a cup of milk tea and placed it by her lips, “Have a sip. You can’t drink this often. You have to drink more water.”

Lin Xiaowan quickly took a few gulps. She felt very happy until the second half of Huo Zheng’s words quickly deprived her of her happiness. She said happily, “Why? It’s not like I drink this often!”

Huo Zheng wanted to say again that there was no nutritional value, but he did not want to spoil the mood. Finally, he said, “You can tell the chef at home to make it for you.

“How can it be the same?” Lin Xiaowan protested, “Moreover, you shouldn’t snatch business opportunities away from the milk tea vendors!”

Huo Zheng felt helpless; there was nothing he could do about her. If the doctor had any concerns about her health during her checkup in a week, he would have to be stricter with her..
