Chapter 773: Chapter 742 Opening Your Heart is Not Difficult_1

Qi Zhenghan’s expression was somewhat bewildered.

"Obsession is not love. If you meet a nice girl, you can open your heart and have a proper romance. Perhaps you can harvest a love that’s truly unforgettable." Huo Yingjie encouraged, even using some of his mental strength.

The reason Huo Yingjie was so patient in advising Qi Zhenghan was partly because he didn’t want He Tiantian to be upset by a bad relationship between him and Qi Zhenghan, and partly because he didn’t want to affect the cooperation and relationship between the three families.

The Qi Family and the Bai Family were in need of economic benefits; the Huo Family needed political interests.

The cooperation between the three families had already become inseparable.

If anything unexpected happened, it would inevitably bring great impact and loss to all three families.

Internally and externally, Huo Yingjie did not wish to see such an outcome.

"Obsession is not love..." Qi Zhenghan murmured to himself, his eyes becoming even more lost as he stared into the distance.

Huo Yingjie did not disturb Qi Zhenghan’s contemplation. Some things had to be figured out by oneself.

Even though Huo Yingjie had used some tricks, it still required the person’s own will.

It wasn’t until Qi Zhengmin came over to call everyone to eat that Qi Zhenghan came back to his senses.

When he looked at Huo Yingjie again, his smile carried a few more sincere touches.

He vaguely understood why He Tiantian would like Huo Yingjie!

Even as a rival in his imagination, Qi Zhenghan greatly admired Huo Yingjie.

At the same time, Qi Zhenghan’s mood was like the weather after a rain shower, becoming sunny and bright, with the sun in the sky, white clouds, a blue heaven, and beautiful rainbows; not like before when he could only see the flowers beaten by the rain, the defeated willows, and the ground littered with fallen leaves and mud.

Third Grandma Qi sensitively noticed that her grandson was different, but she couldn’t articulate exactly what had changed.

As long as her grandson could always be like this, she didn’t need to worry anymore.

After the meal, the two elders went to rest.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took the child to their own room.

After napping, Qi Zhenghan got up and personally escorted Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian home.

He originally wanted to go to the company, but for some reason, he ended up driving to the Sanfeng Bridge shop in Chengnan.

Now that it was not nighttime, would that young girl still be working here?

However, after disembarking from the vehicle and arriving at the entrance of the shop, he saw the bright smile that was enthusiastically serving customers.

Qi Zhenghan did not immediately enter but stood at the doorway, observing Zhang Mengmeng closely. He found that Zhang Mengmeng didn’t look very much like He Tiantian, and he even thought the few small freckles on her nose were cute.

It wasn’t until the last customer was sent away that Zhang Mengmeng saw Qi Zhenghan standing outside the door, and she was momentarily stunned.

It had been a long time since she last saw Qi Zhenghan. She had felt lost and disappointed before, but now she had calmed down!

Yet at this moment, he appeared again.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?" Zhang Mengmeng actually wanted to ask him what he had been busy with lately since he hadn’t come to buy anything in a long time.

But the words reached her lips and were swallowed back down.

Because she knew that she and he did not share the kind of relationship that warranted such questions!

Qi Zhenghan smiled and said, "Cheesecake, butterfly pastries, red bean rolls..." He listed seven items, one pound of each.

Zhang Mengmeng took note seriously, packed everything up, and calculated the cost.

Qi Zhenghan paid the money and didn’t leave immediately but instead looked at Zhang Mengmeng a few more times.

Zhang Mengmeng tried to stay calm, telling herself not to panic. This time, she didn’t want to be the first to become flustered and play the fool.

Qi Zhenghan was ten years older than Zhang Mengmeng, had a wealth of experience, and was a business elite. He could easily see through Mengmeng’s little thoughts.

Perhaps, starting a romance wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

He didn’t know whether it was because he had calmed down, or because Huo Yingjie’s words had made him see things clearly.

Anyway, he was now in a good mood and wanted someone to share his happiness with.

"Thank you!" Qi Zhenghan nodded and then left.

Watching Qi Zhenghan walk away, Zhang Mengmeng felt a bit of loss inside, still the same!

Such a jerk!

Sister Suyue was right; he was a young master from a rich family, all of them playboys.

She, a humble dandelion flower, should just honestly find a dandelion to pair up with.

Comforting herself this way, as Qi Zhenghan came almost every day to make purchases, Mengmeng continued to encourage herself and to exercise self-control.

Qi Zhenghan felt he was becoming naughtier, realizing he enjoyed watching Mengmeng’s eyes that wanted to look at him but didn’t dare, her feigned composure, and especially the funny faces she made when he turned to leave.

Is this... is this what love is?

Qi Zhenghan wasn’t sure and was waiting for time to confirm it.

Seeing Qi Zhenghan like this put Huo Yingjie at ease.

Alas, having a polite young master from a wealthy family that looked quite like him hovering around He Tiantian all the time would indeed worry Yingjie a lot!

Now all was well; as long as Zhenghan liked another woman, he wouldn’t have Tiantian on his mind. Even if it meant using his psychic ability and being punished for it, it was a risk he was willing to take.

Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian were extremely sweet together; the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" could no longer describe their current state.

They were as inseparable as paint to glue, mixing as smoothly as honey stirred into oil!

One day, Huo Yingjie received two telegrams.

One was from Lao Lian, who said they had found a few suitable houses and suggested they make a trip to see them in person before making a decision.

The other telegram was international, for He Tiantian. Bai Qiongyu was bringing He Jingyu back, and Qi Shuliang and his wife would be coming over as well.

"Oh my, this is wonderful! Look at the timing. If we go to Yanjing now to settle on a house, then we could return on the same special train with grandma and Uncle Qi. Do you think we can make it in time?" Tiantian hurriedly said, preferring a special train ride over squeezing onto a regular train.

Huo Yingjie checked the dates and said, "We can leave tomorrow, spend about three or four days in Yanjing, then grandma and Uncle Qi will arrive in Yanjing. I guess they will have some matters to discuss with some people and will stay for a few days. Altogether, it looks like seven or eight days, which should be enough for us."

"Great, then let’s go to Yanjing," said He Tiantian. "By the way, Grandma Wang, do you want to come with us?"

Seeing that there were two bodyguards to protect Huo Yingjie and with four adults to look after two children, Grandma Wang decided there would be no issue and replied, "Since there are enough people, I won’t go. The weather is hot, and I can’t endure it."

Hearing what Grandma Wang said, Tiantian nodded and responded, "Then you rest up at home, Grandma Wang. If you find it dull, I can take you to grandma’s. You’re about the same age; surely you’ll have lots to talk about."

"Alright, then I’ll pack my things today and go to Sister Qi’s place," Grandma Wang said delightedly. She really liked Third Grandma Qi’s temperament; they had hit it off from the start!

Since their first meeting, they had been exchanging letters regularly and had developed a close relationship.
