Chapter 827: Fate Has Come
Editor: Henyee Translations
Cen Qianmo and Huo Yichen had worked together in business before, so the two sides were considered acquaintances. After leading the way through the front desk to the reserved private room, the three of them sat down.
While the dishes were being served, Cen Qianmo introduced the two of them to each other. At the same time, Han Ling smiled very brightly and explained his purpose this time.
“I heard that Mr. Huo took down that piece of land in the Western District.” Han Ling was a straightforward person. “I have a design studio under me that happens to be in the related business. I wonder—”
In the beginning, Huo Yichen had noticed that Cen Qianmo had brought someone over this time. It was only when the other party spoke that he understood the purpose of this meeting.
Recently, because he had taken down the Western District, many people were very envious of him, both openly and secretly. They were all staring at him and preparing to eat him. Huo Yichen also knew this.
“We’ve indeed been looking for a design specialist recently.”
Although the other party had recommended himself, Huo Yichen was not in a hurry to make the final decision now. After all, there was still a long way to go before the real work started.
He casually took a sip of the water beside him and was about to say something when his gaze swept out, but he felt as if he had seen a familiar figure.
Every private room here was very separate. At the beginning of the concept, there was no intention of profiting through quantity. The distance was very far, enough to ensure the privacy of every guest. At the same time, they could enjoy the carefully built interior scenery of the restaurant.
Just as Huo Yichen wanted to take another look at the spot where the person had passed by just now, he realized that the other party had already disappeared without a trace.
“Why are we suddenly here for dinner today?” Kelly walked beside Huo Xiuyuan and looked at the unfamiliar decorations around her. She pouted unhappily. She held Huo Xiuyuan’s arm, her dissatisfaction written all over her face.
They had been together for almost half a year. She didn’t believe that Huo Xiuyuan would forget that she actually didn’t like this kind of ancient design. Kelly, who had seen the interior design when she came in through the door just now, was already half-dead.
To be honest, if not for Huo Xiuyuan bringing her over, Kelly would never have walked into this restaurant herself.
Kelly spoke from time to time, but Huo Xiuyuan’s attention was not on the person beside him. Instead, after entering the private room, he observed his surroundings.
He had received news that Huo Yichen would be here today, and he was meeting Cen Qianmo.
The last time he was tricked by the other party, the loss he suffered was really unbearable. Therefore, if Huo Xiuyuan wanted to destroy the other party, he would probably only have one last chance.
After all, the resources in his hands were all borrowed from the person behind Kelly. If he kept making mistakes and couldn’t satisfy the other party…
Thinking of the consequences of that possibility, Huo Xiuyuan pursed his lips. Unwillingness more or less surfaced in his heart. He didn’t want to go overseas and live like that again.
Moreover—
Huo Xiuyuan touched the phone in his pocket with his free hand and thought about the message Huo Ya had sent him last time.
The last time, the other party had said that she wanted to meet him in person and sent him an address. Even though Huo Xiuyuan was unwilling, he still agreed because of the importance of the other party’s words.
It was unknown if it was on purpose or a coincidence, but the time Huo Ya suggested to meet him clashed with Huo Xiuyuan’s actions today.
“Haven’t you always liked Wellington Steak? I heard that this restaurant is very good and wanted to bring you here to try it out.”
Huo Xiuyuan casually made an excuse to pacify Kelly, but he was thinking about how to get out and get rid of the person beside him and meet Huo Ya. Although he didn’t have that intention towards her, if Kelly and Huo Ya saw each other, many of the things he had planned would probably be for naught. Huo Xiuyuan would never let that happen.
After hearing his words, Kelly’s unwilling expression immediately softened.
‘Sit here first. I’ll go order, okay?” Huo Xiuyuan brought Kelly into a private room and settled her down.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Kelly immediately reached out and pulled him back. “We can just call the waiter in.”
She wanted to spend more time with Huo Xiuyuan.
However, what Huo Xiuyuan wanted was to find an excuse to escape. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Kelly’s words. Even though he was a little unwilling, he could only smile gently and sit down.
If he was too insistent with a certain decision, even someone like Kelly, who was not very smart, would probably see through it.
That’s right. At that time, I was so busy thinking about what to order for you that I forgot to call the waiter in.”
Huo Xiuyuan pretended to be annoyed and patted his head. That seemed to be the truth. Then, he flipped open the menu at the side and skillfully ordered all of Kelly’s favorite dishes.
He definitely couldn’t be vague about currying favor with her. At the very least, he was very confident in what Kelly liked to eat.
“Xiuyuan—when are you coming back to the country with me? I think I’m done having fun over here.”
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Kelly poked Huo Xiuyuan in boredom.
The novelty came and went quickly. Even though she had only been in this country for less than half a month, Kelly felt that there was nothing interesting left. She went out to look at the popular places every day, but without Huo Xiuyuan by her side, Kelly quickly lost the mood to stay here.
After all, she was unfamiliar with the place and the person she liked was not by her side. Even if Kelly wanted to do something, she felt bored.
Thinking about how Huo Xiuyuan had promised her to get married when they returned, Kelly wanted to go back even more.
Huo Xiuyuan was originally thinking about how to escape, but when he heard Kelly mention this, he raised his eyebrows and immediately focused on persuading her.
“It might take a while…” Huo Xiuyuan replied hesitantly, but he was actually thinking about how to comfort Kelly.
“You know that the company can’t do without me for the time being. I have something to do.”
He had yet to take down Huo Yichen, and the Huo Corporation had yet to become his. How could he leave just like that?
But I miss Daddy so much. I want to go home and live with him.”
Moreover, Kelly said, “There’s no one I know here.”
It would be fine if she had friends, but other than Huo Xiuyuan, Kelly didn’t have anyone to talk to.
Hearing Kelly’s words, Huo Xiuyuan couldn’t wait to send her back.
After all, if Kelly was not by his side, Huo Xiuyuan wouldn’t be restrained in many things.
Unfortunately, he still needed this precious gold mine to stabilize the power in his hands. Before he achieved his goal, Huo Xiuyuan would arrange for Kelly to be by his side.
He had even thought of the worst-case scenario. If the other party wanted to forcefully make him return to the country, he could still use Kelly as a threat. “Just wait a little longer.”
Huo Xiuyuan reached out and patted Kelly’s head to comfort her. “I heard that there’s a very famous designer here. Don’t you always like Chinese weddings? I was just about to invite him to design your wedding dress.”
Previously, Kelly had been thinking about their wedding. This was also the reason why she especially wanted to return to the country.
However, when she heard Huo Xiuyuan say that he wanted to design a wedding dress, her bad mood immediately disappeared..
