Chapter 459: Two Photos and a Line of Text
Just after asking, a soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Xiao Jinghuai, this question doesn’t seem like something you would ask. Is there something you want to consult me about?""For example... how to get along with Song Song?"
Xiao Jinghuai knew he couldn’t hide it from Huo Junting, but being so straightforwardly pointed out still made him a bit uncomfortable.
"The issue Xiao Family is facing this time is quite tricky. It’s not safe for her here with me; it’s better to send her to you. I’ll pick her up when the situation calms down, but by then, she might not..."
From her attitude just now, it was clear she was determined to get a divorce.
Huo Junting suddenly sneered on the other side, "Did you deliberately upset her to send her back?"
"... Yes! No, not exactly, I have other reasons."
"I understand. Don’t worry, she’ll be absolutely safe with me. She called me, that’s all."
Xiao Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something more, but in the end, he kept silent, hung up the phone, and sat on the sofa for a while before getting up to go back to the company.
Ha! In fact, regarding this Xiao Family matter, he ought to thank Xiao Jiurou, his choice of partners was indeed too complacent...
...
Hong Kong.
After finishing his call with Song Song, Huo Junting called Yuan Yuqi...
The call was quickly connected, a sweet voice came through, "What’s up, little brother! Did you miss me?"
"Yu Xi, Song Song will be returning from Qingcheng City tomorrow. Let’s invite her for dinner, what do you think?"
"Really?"
The girl’s excited voice came through, seemingly having been anticipating this for a long time.
Huo Junting smiled faintly, "Yes, really."
"That’s wonderful, I’ve always wanted to invite her for a meal, but never got the chance. This time it has to work, and after dinner, I want to take her shopping, is that okay?"
These words seemed to be a special signal belonging to Yuan Yuqi. Having spent so much time with her, Huo Junting understood her all too well.
He reached out and absent-mindedly played with the leaves of the green plant on the desk, "Did you see something you liked again?"
"Mm-hmm!"
"I saw a limited edition handbag, it’s not too expensive, probably about seven hundred thousand! Little brother, can you... buy it for me?"
"..."
To Huo Junting, Yuan Yuqi was perfect in every way, gentle and understanding, but the only thing slightly disconcerting was her love for luxury goods. Initially, he had gotten angry with her about it, but afterward, he thought about it—men earn money for women to spend, so he let her be.
As long as she liked it, he would buy it for her.
Besides, the things she liked so far hadn’t exceeded a million, which really wasn’t much to him.
Huo Junting pondered for a moment and said, "Tell you what, I’ll give you a card, and in the future, if you see something you like, just buy it, no need to ask me."
"Really?"
Yuan Yuqi’s voice sounded near ecstatic, "I can really buy anything? Anything at all?"
Huo Junting smiled softly, "Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you, whether it was when we were kids, now, or a long time from now, I won’t lie to you."
"..."
After saying this, Huo Junting could clearly feel Yuan Yuqi’s silence on the other end was a bit prolonged, but he thought nothing of it, assuming she was just moved.
"I still have some documents to go through, I’ll hang up first."
"Okay, bye-bye!"
After hanging up, Huo Junting inexplicably clicked into his Moments, casually browsing the sparse updates...
Eventually, his gaze lingered on two photos and a line of text.
