The Second Thousand and Twenty-Five Chapters Old House on Fire (Seven)
Song Jinning hurriedly took a step back, waved Huo Guanchen's hand away, and said displeasedly: "Speak well, don't touch your hands. ——I have already said, you don't have to come for my birthday." After speaking, he turned and left.
Huo Guanchen stood in the parking lot, stared at the direction where Song Jinning disappeared for a while, and then got in the car and left.
Their car left the parking lot of the restaurant and passed by the Institute of High Energy Physics where Song Jinning was.
Huo Guanchen ordered people to stop in front of the Institute of High Energy Physics, and watched quietly through the car window for a while, and asked his own people to confirm whether Song Jinning had returned to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
In just a short while, Huo Guanchen actually saw Lu Yuan get out of the car and go to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
It wasn't the first time he saw Lu Yuan go to the Institute of High Energy Physics, and now he saw it again, frowned slightly, and said to his life secretary: "Go and find out, Director Song has been in close contact with someone recently."
The life secretary agreed, and hurriedly found someone to investigate after returning.
Song Jinning's actions in the Institute of High Energy Physics are aboveboard. In addition to attending classes, he does experiments, and holds meetings with the institute to discuss the progress of experiments.
Therefore, Huo Guanchen's life secretary easily found out that Lu Yuan came to deliver meals to Song Jinning almost every day.
...
"Send it every day?" Huo Guanchen looked at his life secretary in surprise, "Are you sure? Does he not do other things?"
"...It's just a meal at noon. In the evening, Director Song will go home for dinner." The life secretary continued, not daring to look up at Huo Guanchen's face.
Huo Guanchen's hands were gradually clenched, and the corners of his lips were pursed even tighter.
After a while, he waved his hand, "Got it, you can go."
After the life secretary left, Huo Guanchen sat alone in the office for a long time. It wasn't until dark that his internal phone rang suddenly, and he didn't recover.
Reaching out to take the phone and saying hello, the operator hurriedly said, "Chief, do you want to answer Miss Guo's call?"
Huo Guanchen restrained his mind, saw that the time was almost up, and said, "Take it."
After several days, Guo Huining finally got on the phone with Huo Guanchen again.
Guo Huining had mixed feelings in his heart.
Holding her mobile phone, she stood at the window of the Xishan villa room, looking at the dark night outside the window, but her voice was as crisp as usual: "Admiral Huo? Are you done with your work? I don't want to disturb your work."
Huo Guanchen lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled a curl of smoke, and said with a smile: "I just finished my work, and there are indeed a lot of things recently. What's the matter, Ms. Guo?"
Guo Huining hurriedly said: "If you are very busy, I can call you when you have time."
She wanted to hang up the phone, but Huo Guanchen smiled softly, and his voice became deeper and deeper, "It's okay, no matter how busy I am, I will take care of your business. Speak up, don't be polite."
Guo Huining's already dead heart came back to life bit by bit.
She hesitated for a while, and said decisively: "It's like this. Mr. Huo has recovered well recently. He wants to stop using a wheelchair and get up and walk around by himself. I want to ask your opinion."
"...What did my father's professional rehabilitation doctor say?" Huo Guanchen's first reaction was to ask the professional doctor.
Guo Huining frowned, "The doctor said it depends on the situation, and also said Mr. Huo's condition, you can try it, but because the old man is old, it may still be worse than the young man's condition."
That's what it means to look at the family.
If there is a problem, don't blame the doctor.
Huo Guanchen also understood, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Miss Guo, don't worry, I'm free now, I'll go back and have a look later."
Guo Huining felt ecstasy in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, and said, "Okay, no problem."
Ask again: "Have you had dinner? Do you want to prepare your dinner?"
Huo Guanchen did not have dinner, so he did not refuse, "Whatever you eat, I will follow."
Guo Huining smiled and said, "How can I do that? But the chef here also knows your taste, so I'll ask him to prepare some home-cooked dishes that you usually like.
"
"Well, you decide." Huo Guanchen said, hung up the phone, rubbed his forehead, got up and put on his military uniform and military cap, left his office and went to the private house of Xishan Villa.
...
Guo Huining was waiting at the gate of the villa.
Seeing a string of car lights winding towards the mountain road not far away, a smile that she didn't know appeared on her face.
When Huo Guanchen got out of the car, he immediately saw Guo Huining standing at the gate of the villa.
The late autumn night in the imperial capital is already very cold, not to mention that it is on the mountain, which is a bit colder than in the city.
But Guo Huining didn't even wear a down jacket, only casual casual clothes, and a golden and black Persian dahlia-patterned Xietushi shawl over her shoulders, which made her tall and thin body even more pitiful in the night wind.
Huo Guanchen walked over, stretched out his hand to put a shawl on her, and said gently: "It's cold, why don't you wear more?"
Guo Huining turned his head to look at him, and smiled from his most beautiful angle, showing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, "...I was in a hurry to pick up the chief, so I forgot to put on my coat."
Huo Guanchen laughed, and patted her on the shoulder, "Naughty."
Then he said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me."
Guo Huining smiled and nodded, "Then I will call you Mr. Huo."
Huo Guanchen didn't refuse, and while slowing down his pace, following Guo Huining's pace, he asked, "Where's my father? How is he doing recently?"
"Mr. Huo is not bad, but he just misses his relatives a little bit." Guo Huining said tactfully, "Mr. Zhang and the others are embarrassed to come to your place often, so they just make phone calls and videos."
Speaking of this, Guo Huining's heart moved.
She remembered that when she first came here, not to mention the video, even the signal of the mobile phone was blocked, and she couldn't make calls at all, so she could only use the landline, but now she can use the mobile phone casually, even the video.
She turned her head to stare at Huo Guanchen, and couldn't help asking.
Huo Guanchen smiled and said: "In the beginning, I did have very strict security measures here. But now it is no longer necessary. Hui Ning, you are not an outsider, and my father also needs to communicate with people, otherwise the elderly will be bored alone. At home, if the spirit is not good, the body will not be good either."
He actually said that she was not an outsider, and also called her "Huining"!
Guo Huining's eyes suddenly lit up.
She concealed the excitement in her heart, and became more calm and natural, "Mr. Huo trusts me so much, so naturally I will not disappoint Mr. Huo's trust."
"Hui Ning is doing business, I'm at ease." Huo Guanchen said, and Guo Huining went to see Mr. Huo first.
Mr. Huo was sitting on the sofa in his room, with his back facing the direction of the door, and he was videoing with Zhang Baochen's family. The room was full of laughter and laughter. It was indeed a happy family.
Huo Guanchen looked at the door for a while, stopped Guo Huining from saying hello, made a gesture, and quietly left the door of Mr. Huo's room.
Guo Huining followed Huo Guanchen to the restaurant, and said apologetically, "Just wait for a while, Mr. Huo will come to talk to you after the video is over."
Huo Guanchen was noncommittal, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "I know, but I'm hungry, can I have dinner?"
"Of course." Guo Huining hurriedly beckoned someone to come over and serve the two of them.
After a meal, Mr. Huo still hasn't finished the video.
Huo Guanchen held the tea that Guo Huining made for him, sat in his study on the second floor near the window, and drank the tea quietly.
Guo Huining was sitting opposite him, watching Huo Guanchen put a small gift by her hand.
Although it wasn't the ring box she had been thinking about, she was pleasantly surprised when she opened it and saw that it was the same style of earrings as the ring that Huo Guanchen bought.
Caressing the exquisite jewelry box, Guo Huining asked a little nervously: "...Mr. Huo, why are you so kind to me?"
Huo Guanchen's face was hidden in the black shadow beside the curtain, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but Guo Huining knew that Huo Guanchen must be looking at her attentively, because she could feel the heat of that gaze, which almost made her face feel cold immediately. Get piping hot.
Huo Guanchen looked at her like this for a while, and suddenly said with some confusion: "...Maybe it's because your name is also Aning?"
Guo Huining's heart jumped wildly immediately, and the soft and thin Xietushi shawl on his shoulders seemed to have turned into thousands of Tibetan antelopes, galloping under the pure blue sky of Tibet.
But soon, her face became sharply pale again.
So she was just a stand-in? Or because of the name?
She was unwilling and struggling, but at this point, she also knew that it was a great honor for her to be used as Song Jinning's substitute.
That woman is so powerful and beautiful that she can hardly feel jealous.
