C15 Warmth

Qiao Zhirann was stunned for a moment before she pushed him away with a face full of resistance and shook her head innocently.

"What I mean is, I will sit here for the time being."

"I have never thought of letting you hug me and we did not have that kind of relationship."

Huo Bailee raised his eyebrows as soon as he finished speaking. He originally had this plan, but he didn't expect this woman to reject him directly. He felt inexplicably irritated.

He withdrew from her body and sneered. He said faintly, "Yes, you know your own limits."

Qiao Zhirann had been injured recently, so she could only stay in the Huo's Manor. However, she felt bad for not eating and drinking in the Huo Family.

Therefore, Qiao Zhirann suddenly had an idea and started cooking in the Huo's Manor.

She grew up spoiled in the Qiao Family and usually did not cook. Occasionally, she would cook and read the tutorial online. All the food in the Huo's Manor was brought in by the chefs outside.

Therefore, the kitchen of Huo's Manor was basically just a decoration. When Qiao Zhirann went in, it was brand new. She didn't even remove the packaging.

She suddenly had no idea what to do. She thought that if she used his kitchen without his permission, it would definitely be a huge taboo for her.

After pondering for a long time, he obediently sat down and took out his phone to send a message to him.

"Can I use your kitchen?"

When Huo Bailee, who was in the middle of a meeting, received the message, he accidentally clicked on it and looked at it. Everyone was shocked.

There was a rule in the company, and this rule was set by Huo Bailee himself. During the meeting, his phone must be turned off, but he did not comply with this rule.

When his finger saw the message, it was obvious that he was surprised. Could it be that this woman wanted to cook?

After pondering for a moment, he replied in a well-behaved manner: "The downstairs belongs to you, and the upstairs belongs to me."

After saying that, he turned off his phone and continued with the meeting.

Qiao Zhirann did not expect him to be so easy to talk to. He could actually let her use the kitchen. The meaning of his words was that she could use everything downstairs without permission.

She revealed a surprised expression. She did not expect him to be so calm.

She jumped and jumped into the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator, other than simple drinks, there were no other ingredients. She could not do anything else. She went to buy ingredients, carried a big bag and came back to cook.

This was the first time Huo Bailee had a passionate hope in his heart. He wanted to go home early after work because he wanted to know what the woman at home was up to. Could it be that she really wanted to cook?

Special Assistant Xu also noticed that Director Huo was looking at his watch the whole afternoon.

It was as if he had something to do. It was indeed different if the tree was blooming flowers.

"Director Huo, there is no schedule for you to take care of next time. You can get off work early."

Upon hearing this, Huo Bailee cleared his throat and shifted his gaze away from his watch. He glanced at him coldly and then continued to work with a sneer.

"What do you want? Do you want to get off work early?"

Special Assistant Xu panicked when he heard that. His face showed a hint of fear. He lowered his head obediently. He didn't want to, he didn't want to at all.

He understood that he would agree to it. That's not overtime, it's expulsion.

"Stay and work overtime." After saying that, Huo Bailee picked up his jacket, took the car keys, and left.

Special Assistant Xu, who stayed behind, was at a loss. He had a cheap mouth.

Huo's Manor.

When Huo Bailee stood in the villa and looked at the brightly lit house, he suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He didn't know why, but when he saw that the lights in the house were on, he felt that someone was waiting for him.

He couldn't help but find it funny in his heart. He must have gotten used to being alone. It was just that another person was suddenly not used to it.

After changing into his slippers, he smelled the aroma of food. His heart was surrounded by cotton, and even his footsteps could not help but become much lighter.

"You're back!"

Surprisingly, Huo Bailee did not refute. He didn't say anything.

"Go wash your hands first. The food will be ready soon. I didn't expect you to get off work early today."

Huo Bailee was also surprised to hear that. He actually got off work an hour early. He turned around and went to the washroom. When he came back from washing his hands, the food was already on the table.

Not only the two of them found it unbelievable, but the employees in the company also felt as if they had blown up a pot. Director Huo, who had always been a workaholic, actually got off work early.

"What I made might not be too good. You can try it. I don't often cook either. I just look at the recipe."

"This Coca-Cola chicken wing is my best. It might not be as good as those chefs in your family, but it tastes pretty good."

Qiao Zhirann felt strangely embarrassed. After all, it was her first time cooking in another family, and it was also her first time cooking for a man.

"Why did you think of cooking? There is a chef at home."

"I just felt that I had wasted all my free food and slept for nothing, so I took 500,000 yuan. I'm really sorry, so I wanted to take care of you more..."

Hearing this, Huo Bailee was obviously stunned for a moment. The corner of his mouth rose slightly and his gaze fell on her. He smiled happily and then pointed at the dining table. His eyes indicated that Qiao Zhirann also sat down.

"You didn't sleep for nothing."

Ever since Huo Bailee had insomnia and a migraine, he could not sleep well every time. Especially during the day, it was very tiring to work. He could only rely on coffee to maintain his sleep.

But now, he felt refreshed and energized. There would not be any mistakes in his work, and it was even faster and more efficient than before. It was worth it to spend five hundred thousand yuan like this.

"Can you not say that? Also, can I discuss something with you? Can you turn on the air conditioner tonight?"

"No!"

Huo Bailee suspected that the dinner was a feast for Hong Men to please him so that he could turn on the air conditioner at night.

While the two of them were talking, the sound of the door twisting came from the door. Suddenly, a person came in. The moment he came in, an awkward atmosphere condensed in the air.

Qiao Zhirann also felt that her entire body was unnatural. It was as if she was a mistress that was grabbed and wrapped on the spot. The chopsticks in her hands also fell to the ground with a clunk.

Jee Susu's appearance was unexpected and at the same time, it made her panic.

On the other hand, Huo Bailee had always been very indifferent. He only glanced at her indifferently and continued to eat with his head down.

"Ji... Miss Jee..." Qiao Zhirann did not know why she was always in a panic. For some reason, she felt a kind of pressure and felt guilty.

She coughed awkwardly and looked at her with a face full of fear. Jee Susu only took off her sunglasses slowly and looked at her coldly for a while. When she saw Qiao Zhirann, she felt cold all over.

"Miss Qiao, why are you still here?"

"I..." Qiao Zhirann quickly lowered her head and thought about what to say. But at this moment, she was thinking about what to say. Suddenly, someone answered her.

"She lives here."

The person who spoke was none other than Huo Bailee. Qiao Zhirann suddenly felt that she was pretending to be good at green tea.
