Chapter 96: Huo Qi'an
After breakfast, the two packed up and went out together.
Huo Qi made a few calls to the secretary in the company, explained the work, and drove the car over.
Nanhu Villa District is in Nancheng of City A, and it takes more than an hour to drive there.
When he was in the car, Lian Xi had time to look at yesterday's missed calls and messages on his mobile phone.
Thinking of why she didn't even answer her assistant's phone call last night, Lian Xi couldn't help but cast a sullen look at the perpetrator.
She called Xiaomeng back and told her that she would not go to the company today, she could just deal with it if she had any problems, and wait until she arrived at the company tomorrow to deal with it.
Xiao Meng responded again and again.
Huo Qi never interfered much with her work. When listening to her on the phone, she just drove quietly.
When they arrived at the Nanhu villa area, Lian Xi and Huo Qi got off the bus together and walked for three minutes from an asphalt road full of ginkgo trees before arriving at a single-family villa.
When the housekeeper in the villa area saw a homeowner coming, he immediately trotted over and asked them what they needed to serve.
Huo Qi nodded and let him do his own work.
Lian Xi once saw the photos Huo Qi sent her and knew that it was a very beautiful house, but when she stood in front of the house in person, she still felt that it was more spectacular with the naked eye.
"This house... but you designed it yourself?"
Huo Qi led Lian Xi to the inner path along the lawn in front of the villa, and said, "I came up with the general concept, but the detailed design is still a professional designer. Let's go inside and take a look."
Standing in front of the gate of the villa, Lian Xi looked up. There are surveillance systems at the door and the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back. It seems that his security measures are also well done.
"Do you remember the gate code?" Huo Qi asked, standing behind her.
His broad chest was pressed against her back. When he spoke, his low voice shook his chest slightly. He was clearly talking to her, but Lian Xi felt like he was blowing in her ear.
He rested one hand on the wall at will, and easily lifted her up to wrap her in a circle in front of him.
Lian Xi glanced back at him, because the more intimate postures of the two had gone deep, so he didn't care too much about his body approaching.
I just thought, and sure enough, a man who is open to meat, even if he was cold and abstinent before, will naturally flirt now, and he will emit hormones without consciously raising his hands.
Lian Xi thought about it and remembered that he said that the door codes on both sides were the same: "740593?"
"Well, my wife is awesome, I remember it all." Huo Qi lowered his head and kissed her cheek rewardingly.
Lian Xi touched the place where he was kissed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, did this man coax her as a little girl?
Lian Xi pressed the code, walked into the house, and looked around.
The living room is very spacious, and the layout is very bright on all sides. It has three floors like Lianjia's villa. The living room on the first floor is connected to several function halls and rooms extending in all directions.
"Look where you are not satisfied, where do you need to refit it?"
When Lian Xi visited the interior of the house, Huo Qi said this behind her.
There is no furniture in the house yet, but the basic floor, wall, water, electricity, lights, etc. have been completed, but Lian Xi can already roughly see what style it is.
Huo Qi took her to a brightly lit room in the passage on the left side of the living room: "This will be a gym in the future." Pointing to the side, he said, "This is the wine cellar and bar." Then he took her around the living room to the Behind the yard: "It will be a beautiful back garden with flowers and trees all year round in the future."
When he came to the second floor, Huo Qi pushed open the door of the bedroom, which was connected to two rooms. He said: "Here is a cloakroom for you, and a mosaic bathroom. Terrace. My study is right next door, and I'll let someone open it up so it can be connected."
At the end of the promenade of the master bedroom, there are two other room doors, one pink and one blue, Huo Qi walked over with Lian Xi, held her hand and let her open the door: "This is where our children will live in the future. In the room, the pink is for the daughter and the blue is for the son. There are swings and a small court in the garden where they can play."
Lian Xi listened to Huo Qi's description quietly, and there seemed to be a picture of a family of four that popped into his mind—
In the cloakroom full of haute couture dresses, she chose the dress to wear for the dinner party, while Huo Qi was dealing with the emails on the computer at the desk in the study next door. In the garden downstairs, the weather was clear and the lovely children were laughing and playing. Swinging on the swings, playing with balls...
"Lian Xi, do you love me?" Huo Qi suddenly asked in a low voice.
Lian Xizheng followed his thoughts, and was stunned when he heard the words, looked up at him, and did not answer for a while.
Huo Qi looked at her deeply, waiting for her to answer.
Lian Xi opened his mouth: "..." But he was dumbfounded.
love?
It doesn't seem to be that far.
But not in love?
Lian Xi thought about it, she should still like him a little bit.
Otherwise, Lian Xi would not casually sleep with a man he didn't like, no matter what the objective or external reasons were.
But he asked too suddenly. When Lian Xi was brought into such a fantasy scene by him, in such a beautiful and warm atmosphere, he suddenly asked this question, which caused Lian Xi to suddenly get stuck and didn't know how to answer him. .
If it is normal, Lian Xi can deal with it with a perfunctory haha, or if he runs a train unexpectedly and shakes his wit, he can pass this problem away.
But now, Huo Qi looked at her with sincerity, concentration and affection, waiting for her answer.
No matter how bright Lian Xi's tongue was, he couldn't say anything to deceive him.
She still remembered that she once ran into him with her family in a restaurant. At that time, Lian Xineng read out the shameful and nasty love words she found on the Internet without changing her face and heart, and deliberately told him it.
And at first, when he was teasing him, he was able to open his mouth and shut his mouth like 'I love you', 'You are my life', 'I have to have you in my life', 'I will die without you', Lian Xi said these words at that time It's like saying 'the weather is so nice today, have you eaten yet'.
But now, Lian Xi can't tell those lies anymore, and she doesn't want to lie to Huo Qi anymore.
So, she opened her red lips, and there was an inexplicable silence for half a minute.
In this half-minute, the atmosphere gradually became awkward and solidified.
In this silence of hers, Huo Qi's eyes became darker and darker, and his expression became lighter.
Lian Xi himself felt that her reaction was too wrong, she should say something immediately, otherwise the beautiful atmosphere would be completely destroyed by her.
She immediately stepped forward, put her hands around his neck, and kissed him on the lips: "You are the only man in my life who wants to get married. I like the house you designed for us, and I will see you later. Let's go choose furniture together!"
Huo Qi's dark eyes flashed for a moment, and she did not answer directly.
She was just avoiding his question.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice.
"it is good."
Hu... Lian Xi almost breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Why would he suddenly ask her such a question, the two of them should be together with the flow, and then let the flow naturally develop their relationship, isn't everything going well?
But Lian Xi underestimated the possessiveness of a man.
After coming to this world, almost everything went smoothly, and she gradually ignored, what kind of inspiration in the original plot stimulated Huo Qi's blackening.
Betrayal, abandonment.
In the final analysis, in terms of feelings, Huo Qi is actually the one who lacks love and has no sense of security.
He lacked his father's love when he was a child, and lost his mother when he was a teenager. Later, he wrapped his heart with aloofness and alienation or a surface of gentleness, but he was unwilling to open his wounds to those who did not trust him.
Exposing one's own vulnerabilities and weaknesses means being a little more dangerous.
Once he is willing to hand over his vulnerability and weakness to a person, that person is his life.
Huo Qi suddenly hugged Lian Xi tightly.
The force was so strong that even the butterfly bone in Xi's back hurt a little, but she didn't push him away.
Because Lian Xi noticed that Huo Qi's mood was a bit wrong.
Lian Xihui hugged him, raised his hand to touch his hair, and asked softly, "What's wrong? My dear."
Huo Qi kissed her hair, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, you just like it."
Lian Xi may have guessed the reason for his low mood, but Lian Xi doesn't want to lie to him by saying those words full of running trains. Love can't be rushed. He is eager to ask her for an answer now, that's not it. Force her to tell lies.
Lian Xi thought, anyway, she was already engaged to him, and now she has been tired of being together for almost three days, the relationship can be cultivated slowly, and there is no need to rush it at this time.
Huo Qi released her and asked, "Do you want to go to other rooms?"
"Okay." Lian Xi took him to the third floor, "This house is so big, I have to buy a lot of furniture."
Huo Qi's expression soon returned to normal, and he folded his legs and leaned against the corridor on the second floor: "I plan to install a smart home system newly developed by the company at home, which integrates lighting, ventilation, cooling and heating. What do you think?"
This is also a major business for LT Company to return to China to open up the market. It is expected that it will be rolled out in the national market in two or three years.
Lian Xi was very interested in this: "Okay, when will you be ready to do it."
"You can do it after you agree." Huo Qi said.
Lian Xi came down from the spiral staircase on the third floor and raised his eyebrows: "You are better at this than me, why do you need to ask me for permission."
"Of course, you are the mistress of this family." Huo Qi turned the cuff of his shirt on his wrist and raised his eyes.
Lian Xi paused, it is undeniable that now Huo Qibi can speak love before.
She smiled and took the initiative to hold his hand: "Let's go, Mr. Huo, let's go to the furniture market together?"
Originally, for these two busy people, they could all be done by their subordinates or by a professional team.
It's just that both of them want to create opportunities to spend more time with each other alone.
I drove all the way to the largest furniture market in City A. It happened that a half-month home fair was being held here, and many people came to visit the exhibition.
After Huo Qi parked the car, he and Lian Xi got out of the car and walked into the Jiabo Exhibition Building.
Lian Xi first went to see the sofa. After choosing the sofa, he chose the carpet, coffee table and large decorations, which would better match the overall style.
Holding Huo Qi's arm, she strolled around the huge furniture market.
Probably because the two of them were dressed so conspicuously that the store manager, who was so refined, immediately knew that a big customer service was coming, and came over to introduce the service in person: "The two are so lovingly matched, it looks like they are newly married, and they are here to choose a new house. Furniture? What style do you want, I can introduce it to you.”
