Chapter 106: Simply Big Mouth
Chapter 106: Simply Big Mouth
"Forehead……"
Zhou Ning was stunned.
When I came to my senses, I finally understood that she was talking about the Kokeshi...
It seems that Zhou Zhi knows a lot of internet memes and is really in tune with the trend.
Not long after finishing the meal, Zhou Ning felt sleepy again and fell asleep in a daze leaning on the sofa.
Suddenly, she felt her body being lifted into the air, and a pleasant, familiar and warm scent came to her nose. She couldn't help but shrink her body and lean in.
I could vaguely hear Zhou Zhi's voice:
"Qingzhou, wait a moment, let me cover Xiao Ning with a blanket."
Grandpa Huo's voice interrupted, "Take good care of Xiao Ning..."
Huo Qingzhou responded firmly.
He held the woman in his arms, and his tall stature made the woman in his arms look even smaller.
When he looked at the person in his arms, his eyes were a little softer.
After carrying Zhou Ning into the car and adjusting the seat, Huo Qingzhou also sat in the driver's seat and prepared to go back.
Halfway through the drive, I heard a girl's whisper.
"I envy you so much..."
Huo Qingzhou tilted his head and saw that Zhou Ning still had her eyes closed, her face flushed, her mouth pouting, as if she was talking in her sleep.
He asked: "What do you envy me for?"
He hadn't expected to get a response, but he didn't expect Zhou Ning to be able to talk to him in her sleep.
"I envy you for having such a good family..."
Huo Qingzhou's eyes gradually darkened.
This was not the first time Zhou Ning had said this, but it was the first time Huo Qingzhou had thought deeply about this issue.
The harmonious and beautiful relationship between his parents allowed him to think calmly from his parents' perspective.
He put himself in Zhou Ning's shoes, thinking about the living environment she had grown up in, where she had to rely on herself for everything, so now she is used to taking care of everything on her own.
At first, he only blamed Zhou Ning for not telling her the first time she encountered the problem.
But the deeper he went when he peeled off the cocoon wrapped around the girl, the more new discoveries he made.
It’s not that I don’t want to say it.
I haven't fully trusted him yet.
The fear of being abandoned at any time.
This happens when you don't expect anything.
When it comes to gaining Zhou Ning's trust, he was far from doing well enough.
When passing the red light, he stopped the car and looked at the girl beside him tenderly, but heard her muttering: "I want to eat roasted pig's trotters, barbecue, hot pot, milk tea, skewers..."
"..."
Huo Qingzhou curled his lips helplessly and reached out to touch her head.
He is really a foodie.
He promised that he would definitely fulfill Zhou Ning's little wishes in the future.
*
Huo Group.
After finishing school, Zhou Ning took the driver's car to the company gate.
Having been here several times before, she was already very familiar with going to Huo Qingzhou's office.
When she arrived at the president's office floor and just got out of the elevator and took a few steps, she saw He Mei walking up to her and greeting her with a smile.
She just responded calmly.
Keep a distance from He Mei.
He Mei: "I'm very sorry about what happened last time. I was so upset after I went back that I was afraid I did something wrong. To express my apology, this is something I'm giving you."
Zhou Ning took a look and saw that she was holding a packaging box with words written on it that she couldn't understand.
Probably French.
She didn't know what it was either.
The first reaction was rejection.
During the shove, He Mei insisted on handing the item to her: "Don't refuse it, this is my gift after all. If you insist on not accepting it, I will be sad."
Zhou Ning: “…”
While she was hesitating, He Mei stuffed the box into her bag and kindly fastened the zipper.
He still said nice things.
Zhou Ning looked embarrassed. He Mei's action of forcing it upon her didn't give her any chance to refuse.
She carried her bag and walked towards Huo Qingzhou's office.
He Mei stared at her back, an inexplicable smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Zhou Ning naturally didn't notice it. When she walked into the office, she happened to see Huo Qingzhou standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and making a phone call. He held the phone in one hand and the other hand casually in his pocket, with an elegant posture.
It is a sight that never gets boring.
Zhou Ning didn't bother him. She walked obediently to her own small table and put down her bag.
She saw her favorite snacks and tea on the table, and since she felt a little hungry, she ate a few bites.
As a result, as soon as Huo Qingzhou finished the call, he turned around and saw Zhou Ning opening his mouth wide and stuffing a whole piece of cake into his mouth.
He walked over with amusement: "You eat so fast, are you afraid that I will snatch it from you?"
Zhou Ning almost choked when she heard what he said. She quickly took a few bites and explained, "I just have a big mouth."
"Really?" Huo Qingzhou's eyes were meaningful. "I really can't feel it. You can let me verify it yourself."
Zhou Ning felt that he was thinking something bad when he was staring at her like that, so she avoided his gaze and pretended not to understand.
Zhou Ning heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Huo Qingzhou did not continue talking and instead sat down at his desk.
She opened her bag and was about to take out the notes she had taken today. She glanced at the thing He Mei had just given her, and then glanced at the man working in the office. She felt it necessary to tell him.
Just stood up and walked over to him.
Huo Qingzhou looked towards her, raised his eyebrows, and patted his long legs.
Zhou Ning was puzzled.
Then I heard the other person say, "I knew you couldn't sit on that chair. You want to sit on my lap? Come on."
Zhou Ning's expression was difficult to describe in words. She looked at him helplessly and placed the box in front of him.
Although she didn't recognize the words on it, she could smell a fragrance when she held it in her hand.
Huo Qingzhou picked it up and looked at it curiously. After a few seconds, his face darkened.
"Where did you get this perfume? Pregnant women can't use perfume."
Perhaps he felt that the tone was too cold, and considering Zhou Ning's mood, he added: "If you like it, I will buy it for you when you can use it in the future."
Only then did Zhou Ning know what was in the box.
She told Huo Qingzhou about this matter that He Mei had forced upon her, and it was necessary to let Huo Qingzhou know.
Huo Qingzhou's expression became even more serious when he heard this.
After thinking for a few seconds, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number.
His tone was cold: "Ask Secretary He to come into my office."
Zhou Ning glanced at him and saw that his expression was not very good. She didn't know why he let He Mei in at this time.
