Chapter 584: Chapter 553 Pretty Good_1

Once the car reached the main road, Secretary Guo had the energy to chat with the leader.

As a confidant, he naturally knew some of the Huo Family’s domestic affairs.

"Leader, now that Yingjie is back, when will you hold the wedding celebration for him? I’d like to go and have a drink too," Secretary Guo said with a chuckle while driving, as he was very familiar with the leader, he didn’t avoid such household topics.

"Hehe, we’ve already done it in Qijia Village. As for Nan City, we’ll just invite a few close acquaintances to come over for a meal at home; we won’t hold anything grand," Huo Zhekun said, adding, "The senior leader above us is not feeling well, and you never know when he may pass away."

As an official, it’s better to be cautious.

"Hehe, sure!" Secretary Guo replied, "Just tell me the day, and I’ll take care of everything for Yingjie, ensuring it’s well-organized."

"No need," Huo Zhekun waved his hand, "Keep it low-key. We’ll just cook a meal at home, a simple home-cooked meal will do. Nothing fancy. I’m not being polite with you; don’t make a fuss."

"Oh, yes, Leader," Secretary Guo nodded, taking note of the leader’s instructions.

Keep it low-key, even more low-key.

Although Secretary Guo didn’t know why the leader was being so cautious, as a secretary, he just needed to comply.

Upon arriving at the house, Secretary Guo, just like last time, had prepared some daily necessities for them to use the next day and then drove away after saying goodbye.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie started the stove and heated water, and by the time they had finished washing up, it was almost ten o’clock.

The next day Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang had to go to work, so they went to bed early.

After the parents went into their room, Huo Yingjie carried He Tiantian directly to their own room, throwing her onto the bed.

To be honest, it hurt a bit!

Seeing the slyness in He Tiantian’s eyes, Huo Yingjie knew he’d been played by He Tiantian!

This little missy, if she isn’t taught a lesson, she’ll start her own dyeing business!

With such a loud noise, his parents-in-law probably heard everything.

She’ll be too embarrassed to face them tomorrow.

He Tiantian felt sorry for herself and covered her head with the blanket.

Huo Yingjie reached into the blanket, fishing out He Tiantian, exposing her head, and asked indulgently, "Feeling shy now after all that’s happened, isn’t it a bit late?"

This guy truly knows how to take advantage without looking like he’s doing so!

"Let you talk, let you talk..." He Tiantian muttered softly, her face growing hotter.

"Don’t worry, I’ve set up a barrier, they can’t hear us," Huo Yingjie begged for mercy.

"Really?" He Tiantian was half-doubtful.

"Of course it’s true, I wouldn’t lie to you," Huo Yingjie said earnestly, "Aren’t you sleepy?"

He Tiantian quickly closed her eyes, snuggling into Huo Yingjie’s arms, and said, "Sleepy, I’m going to sleep now!"

Huo Yingjie helped sort out He Tiantian’s messy hair and then covered her with the blanket to sleep.

When He Tiantian awoke again, it was already eight o’clock the next day.

The in-laws had already gone to work.

"You didn’t wake me up!" He Tiantian complained, "It’s all your fault, keeping me up so late! Otherwise, I could have gotten up early today."

Huo Yingjie hugged He Tiantian and buried his head in the crook of her neck, his voice muffled, "Since my parents have already gone to work, let’s just keep sleeping."

"Sleep your big head!" He Tiantian tried to push Huo Yingjie away, but Huo Yingjie was much stronger than her and wouldn’t budge.

Sitting up with a sore body, He Tiantian slapped the wide-awake Huo Yingjie’s arm and said, "Get up and cook breakfast. It’s time to eat."

"Alright!" Huo Yingjie chuckled, not playing around this time.

He could go without eating, but he couldn’t let He Tiantian go hungry.

There was hot water on the stove. He Tiantian washed her face and brushed her teeth, then began cooking. She made a pot of radish soup and a few scallion pancakes, warm and filling.

Huo Yingjie washed and cleaned the dishes while He Tiantian rested on the side.

When Huo Yingjie had finished tidying up, He Tiantian, holding her bag, said, "Let’s go to the supply co-op to buy some daily necessities!"

The in-laws were so busy; they might as well let the two of them without jobs handle such matters.

Arriving at the supply co-op, He Tiantian picked out items and Huo Yingjie was responsible for paying and carrying them.

While buying soap, He Tiantian accidentally stepped on someone’s foot and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry!"

Although the other person had suddenly moved close to her, He Tiantian had indeed stepped on their foot and apologizing first was no big deal.

"Ouch!" The woman cried out in pain. Hearing He Tiantian’s apology, though she didn’t speak, her eyes seemed to accuse He Tiantian of not watching where she was going!

"I’m sorry," He Tiantian apologized again, smiled, and turned to leave.

She had already apologized, and with her weight, even if she stepped on the other person’s foot, it would only hurt momentarily and wouldn’t cause any harm.

"Hey, Wang Bing, why did you stop looking?" A young and pretty woman came over from the side, "I’ve picked out these socks, the color is so pretty!"

Wang Bing didn’t respond but watched He Tiantian’s retreating figure!

Wang Bing had to admit, this woman was truly beautiful, looking like she walked right out of a painting.
