The servants hurried over to help Miss Wen with her bags.
Huo Zhanxing had already returned home.
The teams from Global Jewelry and Royal Wedding Gowns, along with their bodyguards—totaling forty to fifty people—had brought cases full of jewelry, diamond rings, gowns, and wedding dresses, nearly turning the first-floor reception hall into a shopping mall. They were all waiting for the rumored fiancée of Mr. Huo to return.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a strikingly beautiful girl stepped out of the car.
Mr. Huo, who wielded immense influence even abroad, smiled and walked toward the girl.
He reached out and gently patted her head.
It seemed he was smoothing her slightly tousled hair.
Bending down, he asked her softly, “Did you have fun shopping today, baby?”
The two international teams, all forty to fifty people, were stunned.
The rumored ruthless and unpredictable Mr. Huo actually had such a gentle side?
It was like seeing a ghost.
Needless to say, this girl was Mr. Huo’s fiancée!
Wen Qiansu: “I did~”
Except for one thing…
Huo Zhanxing tilted his head. “What’s wrong?”
Shu Fei, standing nearby, said, “Miss didn’t win any prizes in the raffle today.”
Huo Zhanxing raised an eyebrow.
The girl hung her head, patting her own uncooperative little hands in frustration:
“My luck has always been good—I win every raffle. How come I didn’t get anything today?”
She had wanted to win a big prize to give to Mr. Huo.
Sigh.
She must have forgotten to pray to the Bodhisattva before leaving home today.
Wen Qiansu clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly toward Huo Zhanxing.
Huo Zhanxing: ?
This silly little one really should be praying to him.
How could she know that all the good fortune she had experienced in the sanatorium in this lifetime was arranged by him?
The older kids who bullied her were beaten up by him.
Afraid she would feel isolated, he made her “awaken” her Santa Claus-like luck.
And every year on her birthday, during holidays big and small, all the prizes she won were secretly arranged by him.
Even the car she won on her eighteenth birthday was his doing.
She never paid him any attention.
Yet he had secretly watched over her for two lifetimes.
So, baby, when will you finally look at me?
After bowing, Wen Qiansu happily went to distribute gifts to the household.
The butler Pei Bo and the servants accepted the “hot potato” gifts with trepidation, stealing glances at the master of the house.
Shu Fei stood nearby, reporting to Huo Zhanxing.
“A group of young masters verbally harassed Miss at the mall.”
“They also secretly took photos of Miss, likely sending them to Wen Sisi. Wen Sisi came to the mall intending to drag Miss away, but I broke her wrist.”
Huo Zhanxing shot her a cold, sharp glance.
Shu Fei understood!
Breaking Wen Sisi’s wrist was too lenient. Next time, she would make sure to break her ankle bones too!
Shu Fei quickly added, “I’ve already sketched portraits of those young masters.”
Although they could check the surveillance footage, Shu Fei’s memory and drawing skills were top-notch—there was no need for extra steps.
“Also, there were cars following us on the way out and back.”
“It likely wasn’t targeting Miss Wen.”
“Perhaps they thought you were in the car, sir.”
So, sir, you should consider changing Miss’s car.
If someone tries to assassinate you next time, Miss Wen might end up as collateral damage.
Huo Zhanxing nodded solemnly.
“Understood.” It was an oversight on his part.
His personal car indeed shouldn’t be used for her.
Shu Fei: “Additionally, before entering the mall, Miss stared at the art gallery across the street for two minutes with a sad expression.”
An art gallery?
Huo Zhanxing paused in thought for a moment.
Upstairs in the study lay an invitation sent by the Wen family half a month ago—the opening of an art gallery, a collaboration between the Wen family and the municipal government, was scheduled for tomorrow.
He knew the girl had a painting that had won an award and would be attending the opening ceremony.
Originally, in this lifetime, he had planned to formally meet the girl tomorrow.
After all, he couldn’t bear to watch her remain so devoted to Lu Xiaoting.
He just hadn’t expected a minor incident to occur, forcing him to reveal himself to the girl two days earlier.
She must be heartbroken—driven out of the Wen family and unable to attend the long-awaited opening.
Huo Zhanxing’s gaze turned cold.
Wen Biesheng, for bullying my treasure, I’ll make sure you can’t even hold the opening.
Shu Fei quietly stepped back.
The demon horns on the family head’s head had reappeared, and she was scared.
Over there, Wen Qiansu had already finished distributing the gifts. Mr. Huo retracted his dark tentacles and walked over to the girl:
“So, am I the only one without a gift?”
Wen Qiansu: “Yes, yes, yes, of course Mr. Huo has one!”
“Oh? What gift did my baby buy for me?”
“A tie～”
Huo Zhanxing raised an eyebrow: “Is it to tie me up?”
“……?! Of course not.”
What was Mr. Huo saying! Wen Qiansu’s face flushed with embarrassment, her mind wandering to some blush-inducing images.
A triumphant, mischievous smile played on Huo Zhanxing’s lips. He patted her head with his large hand, took the gift from the girl, and said gently, “Just teasing you. Thank you, baby, for choosing this gift for me. I really like it.”
“Really?” Wen Qiansu felt a bit happy.
Who wouldn’t want the gifts they gave to be appreciated?
Unlike when she had given gifts to Lu Xiaoting before—she had prepared them with such care, only for Lu Xiaoting to glance at them coldly and then lavish praise on the gifts Wen Sisi had given him.
It had saddened her for a long time.
Mr. Huo would never treat her that way.
He truly liked the gift… she had given him.
Huo Zhanxing carefully put away the tie, promising to wear it tomorrow.
Then, he took the girl’s hand: “Come take a look at the engagement ring designs?”
Engagement ring?
Wen Qiansu was momentarily stunned.
Then, she was led by the man, her small hand in his, into the dazzlingly luxurious reception room.
Mr. Huo had actually summoned a long row of people, each holding a diamond ring for her to choose from!
