After Luo Beishi finished washing up, Huo Cixiao, dressed in a long white tracksuit, also returned to his room. He was visibly drenched in sweat, with a thin white towel draped around his neck.
Unfortunately, Huo Cixiao seemed to adhere very strictly to male virtues; even when he went to exercise, he didn't show any muscles.
After no longer needing to bathe Huo Cixiao, Luo Beishi lamented that the perk of seeing handsome men naked had disappeared.
"After breakfast, let's go find Grandpa. Change your clothes." After saying this, Huo Cixiao went to take a shower.
It wasn't that Huo Cixiao didn't want to say more; he had just worked up a sweat and was afraid his wife would think he wasn't attractive anymore.
Before Luo Beishi could speak, he watched as the person went into the bathroom.
So serious, it's really cute.
This was his first time visiting the old house; nestled against the mountains and beside the water, it was indeed a very livable place.
Luo Beishi didn't know how big the mansion was. From the outside, the walls seemed endless. As expected of a great family, it had a rich historical background. The buildings looked very old, and even the wooden pillars in the passageway were made of precious wood.
After enjoying the rather unremarkable winter scenery of the old house, the couple went to the living room.
"You just stood up like that? You don't even need rehabilitation?" The first thing Old Master Huo asked upon meeting him was a question that had been nagging at him for a long time. He had always known that his eldest grandson was extraordinary, with exceptional intelligence, a strong physique, and long legs; he was outstanding in every way.
But as outstanding as it may be, is it scientifically possible for a person who has been in a vegetative state for over a year to immediately become lively and energetic after getting up? It's simply unheard of!
"It's probably a natural talent." Of course, Huo Cixiao wouldn't say that his wife had picked the herbs for him and cured him.
The reason he knew this wasn't because his wife told him, but because A Hu said his wife went to that mysterious cliff and risked her life to pick a medicinal herb.
He could deduce that it was that herb that, in the end, led him to believe that his wife was a deity sent by heaven to save him.
Huo Cixiao slightly curled the corners of his lips, then quickly added, "Don't ask, you old geezer."
Old Master Huo angrily slammed his cane on the ground. "Hmph, you have your little secrets, fine, don't tell me then."
Luo Beishi was stunned for a moment, looking at Huo Cixiao with a look in his eyes. So the big boss knew that this was thanks to him. That makes sense. Who wouldn't have doubts in his shoes?
This matter was skipped over, and the butler poured them tea. Luo Beishi didn't usually drink tea, but now the tea was refreshing. Speaking of which, how long has it been since he had milk tea? He should arrange to have some when he gets back.
The reason he was daydreaming was because Luo Beishi couldn't understand a word the grandfather and grandson were talking about regarding company matters.
He didn't study finance, and now he just lets it go in one ear and out the other, but luckily he's naturally fond of daydreaming and doesn't feel neglected.
"Let's talk about something else." Huo Cixiao glanced at Luo Beishi and abruptly changed the subject.
Old Master Huo originally just wanted to test Huo Cixiao's attitude towards Luo Beishi, and now he has found out.
Old Man Huo, who had been feigning dignity, suddenly narrowed his eyes with delight. "Some people, when they were 20, said they would live their lives alone. A few years have passed, I wonder if that person still remembers?"
Luo Beishi wasn't stupid; he immediately understood. He wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to, because the big shot's current actions didn't seem like he wanted to be single forever.
Huo Cixiao avoided the topic, saying bluntly, "Don't talk about irrelevant things. The Qin Family wants to take Beishi back, and they might send someone to your place tomorrow. Don't pity them." He thought that the older the man got, the less ruthless he would be.
Luo Beishi was surprised. He had forgotten about the Qin Family Qin Family. They had come to visit several times, but he had refused to see them each time.
I didn't expect them to be eyeing the old man now. But... do they have bodyguards stationed outside? Aren't there only A Hu and his three groups?
Grandpa Huo took a leisurely sip of tea, his expression calm. "You mean the Qin Family, who have been hiding for many years? Interesting. If they come, I'll handle it." He hadn't practiced Tai Chi in a long time, and now he was quite eager to try.
He had always heard that his biological parents' family was no good when he was young, and now he wanted to meet these people who had bullied his granddaughter-in-law.
"Grandpa, it's actually fine if you don't see them, it doesn't really matter..." To him, the Qin Family was just a passing breeze. He would only think of them when he was humiliated and wanted to gain some experience points. Otherwise, they were of no use to him.
Huo Cixiao gently squeezed his hand, and Luo Beishi had no choice but to give up.
He also knew that simply shutting people out wasn't the solution, and that the Qin Family would always feel there was still room for maneuver.
"Fine, you arrange it." Luo Beishi didn't want to bother anymore; Huo Cixiao would take care of everything anyway.
Huo Cixiao smiled with satisfaction and continued, "This shows how much the Huo Family values you. The Qin Family is nothing; the old man can handle them with ease. There's no need to worry about trouble."
Luo Beishi nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa."
Old Master Huo glanced at the two holding hands without leaving a trace. Good heavens, this is what they call a two-way journey online.
He had initially worried that A-Xiao would turn his back on him after waking up, but now he realized he was being narrow-minded. He had no idea when the two kids had even met.
Luo Beishi had no idea when Old Master Huo had been arranged into a two-way journey.
After returning home, he acquired quite a few spoils. His grandfather still had a lot of treasures, all of which he had obtained through Huo Cixiao's subtle hints and suggestions.
Seeing the old man's pained expression, Luo Beishi felt that the old man was a bit unfortunate to have such a grandson.
Huo Cixiao practically had his grandfather's fish tank moved away; he was truly a filial grandson.
"By the way, do you still have people outside? I didn't hear A Hu and the others mention it," Luo Beishi asked, as if guessing.
Huo Cixiao gently patted his hair. "Yes, you'll see him someday."
Luo Beishi didn't have time to say how amazing it was; he was forcibly dragged to the fireplace to warm himself, which was indeed very comfortable in winter.
Thinking that Luo Beishi, Huo Cixiao asked Uncle Chen to have the kitchen staff roast sweet potatoes and bring them over. Uncle Chen was so happy that his eyes crinkled and his lips never left his mouth.
Huo Cixiao stared at Luo Beishi's deep, enigmatic eyes for a long time. "Husband, how do you manage to only smile at me a few times a day? Isn't there anything else that makes you happy?"
Huo Cixiao thought to himself, "It's one thing for my wife to care about me, but to look at me so affectionately for so long is just too much. She's so clingy."
"Yes, it was meeting you." But Huo Cixiao couldn't say this out loud, afraid that his wife would think he was frivolous. He had just woken up, and such words coming out of his mouth so easily would be very suspicious and would make his wife think he was a womanizer.
