"Xingyun, why did you get up so early?" Grandma smiled as she walked into the dining room.
Tian Xingyun put the small buns on the table and walked over to pull out the chair for Grandma.
"I’m used to getting up early, I couldn’t sleep."
"Good girl." Grandma sat down with a satisfied smile directed at Xingyun.
"I’m not sure if this suits your taste, Grandma. Would you please give it a try?" Tian Xingyun stood beside her, picking up the chopsticks to serve her a small bun.
"Sit down, don’t just stand there."
"Okay." Tian Xingyun walked to the seat on the left, facing Huo Shaohua.
"It tastes pretty good." Grandma took a bite of the bun and had a sip of porridge.
This little girl’s cooking was very good.
"It has no taste." Huo Shaohua said blandly, finishing off a small bun in one bite.
"Remember to take some time to accompany Xingyun back home in a few days." Grandma looked at him unhappily, feeling that this young man was really ruining the mood.
"I don’t have time. I need to inspect the branch offices in various places."
"Grandma, I can go home by myself. The company’s matters are more important, let’s not delay them." Tian Xingyun’s expression stiffened as she forced a smile.
It was normal for him to be unwilling; she didn’t hope for anything more.
"I’m going to the company." Huo Shaohua put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and got up to leave.
"That brat!" Grandma cursed angrily. It was only the first day of their marriage, and he was already —how excessive.
Tian Xingyun continued to smile, focusing on her breakfast. She couldn’t afford to be hungry.
She wasn’t alone now; she had a baby in her belly.
Huo Shaohua came home in the afternoon to pack his luggage and get ready for a business trip.
He hadn’t visited the branch offices in a long time, and now he had the opportunity to go.
Not wanting to see Tian Xingyun at home, he used work as an excuse not to return.
In the evening, Hu Yuxi showed up at the Huo Family’s house, looking exhausted and carrying his coat over his shoulder.
Just then, Tian Xingyun was watching TV in the side hall. He walked over and sat down.
Smiling, he greeted her, "Hi, we meet again!"
"What are you doing here?" Tian Xingyun instinctively felt nervous. Why was Hu Yuxi here?
"You’ve got to be kidding me. Haven’t you noticed me these past few days?" Hu Yuxi was amused and frustrated; he’d been around for quite a few days already.
She only noticed him today—was he that invisible?
"..." Tian Xingyun said nothing, implicitly acknowledging it.
A lot had happened lately; she hadn’t had the mind to notice much.
So not seeing him appear was also normal.
"Huo Shaohua is my cousin." Hu Yuxi smiled helplessly; someone actually ignored his existence.
"What a coincidence." Tian Xingyun chuckled. What an unexpected encounter.
Previously, she had punched him on the cruise ship, and he turned out to be Shaohua’s cousin.
"It’s truly a coincidence." Hu Yuxi raised an eyebrow and gave her an ambiguous smile.
Now, he didn’t have to go to great lengths to find her; he could see her anytime.
"He’s not at home. If you need to find him, you can go to the office."
"I’m not looking for my cousin; I’m looking for you."
"I drank with your family yesterday and still feel terrible. Could you help me make something to relieve it? That liquor was made in your village—I’m sure you have a way." Hu Yuxi said, feeling nausea in his chest.
After Tian Xingyun and the others left yesterday, he and Andy had a terrible time!
Hua Fugui made them drink, venting his anger towards his cousin on them.
How they got home last night was a blur; they’d been extremely drunk.
"I’ll go make you some hangover soup." Tian Xingyun got up and walked to the kitchen.
The village’s liquor was unique; people who weren’t used to it would feel very uncomfortable.
Hu Yuxi smiled happily as he watched Tian Xingyun walk to the kitchen.
Huo Shaohua went on a business trip, and it lasted for two months.
For two months, he didn’t return home once, often going to Paris to see Song Yi.
