“Second Brother, when are you free? It’s been a long time since we got together for a chat. I just called Eldest Brother and he said that he’s coming back tomorrow but he’ll be going straight to the base.”


  Huo Xishen sipped on his coffee and said, “I’m going to the US this afternoon, I don’t have time.”


  ‘Doggy Huo is leaving again?’


  Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but look at him again.

  ‘Did he get frightened by me?’


  “Second Brother, you just came back recently. Didn’t you say you’d be staying here for long once you’re done handling the things over there?” asked Huo Qingyuan who began to panic.

  ‘He’s sick in the first place but he still goes round traveling. Working late at night will only make his health deteriorate. By then, not only will he not last long in bed he might even…ahem, develop erectile dysfunction.’


  “I’m going to go see a friend, do you have an opinion?’


  Huo Qingyuan shook her head vigorously and said, “No, no.”


  She and Huo Zihang exchanged glances.

  ‘Ah, Second Brother is not playing along!’


  As his siblings, Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan were really worried.

  “I’m done eating, you guys continue.” Yan Jinyi put down her fork and knife, picked up her bag, and got ready to leave.

  “Second Sister-in-law, are you leaving now? You’re going on an adventure in the wilderness this time. It’s going to be very dangerous, take a few bodyguards with you!”


  While Huo Qingyuan spoke, she kept winking at Huo Xishen.

  Huo Xishen simply ignored her and stood up calmly too. “Darling, wait a moment while I go get the keys.”


  ‘Darling, my foot!’


  ‘Doggy Huo, do you know what you did last night?’


  Yan Jinyi said sarcastically, “I wouldn’t dare to trouble you, Mr. Huo. I’ll just have the chauffeur send me there.”


  Huo Xishen didn’t answer her and simply grabbed his keys to go outside.

  “Hey, I’m not taking your car!”


  Yan Jinyi scurried over.

  It was as if Huo Xishen was a clairvoyant. There were usually several luxurious cars parked outside the house but there was now only one BMW in the parking lot.

  That was probably the cheapest car she had ever seen in the Huo Family’s residence.

  According to the memory of the former owner of this body, none of the Huo Family’s cars cost less than a million yuan.

  While Yan Jinyi was getting distracted, Huo Xishen had already pulled open the car door and he said, “Darling, you have two hours left.”


  Only then did Yan Jinyi get startled and hurriedly hopped inside the car.

  Huo Xishen smirked and got into the driver’s seat.

  Huo Xishen would usually pick her up from work but the chauffeur would be the one driving.

  Huo Xishen rarely drove when he was in the car with Yan Jinyi.

  Her instincts were telling her that Huo Xishen definitely had something to talk to her about.

  ‘Is it about what happened last night?’


  The car was driving smoothly on the highway.

  Huo Xishen was gripping the steering wheel with both his hands and he would occasionally glance at Yan Jinyi using his peripheral vision.

  “Darling, what do you need to discuss with me?”


  He skipped the quid pro quo Yan Jinyi mentioned and cut straight to the chase.

  “There’s no need for that anymore.” Yan Jinyi shrugged her shoulders and said, “I doubt you’d be interested, Mr. Huo.”


  ‘How would she know if I’m not interested or not if she doesn’t tell me?’


  “Darling, just tell me.”


  “I won’t stand on ceremony then. Does that mountain where the Huo Family’s base camp is situated on, belong to you?”


  Huo Xishen nodded. “Yes.”


  ‘I knew it!’


  Yan Jinyi suddenly rubbed her hands together and chuckled sheepishly. “Mr. Huo, that mountain is so big, how lonely would it be if there’s nothing else besides the base camp!? Mr. Huo, we should get a neighbor.”


  ‘Neighbor?’


  Huo Xishen had already vaguely guessed Yan Jinyi’s hidden agenda.

  “Darling, do you want the rights of use of half of that mountain?”


  “What rights of use?” Yan Jinyi waved her hand and said, “I just think it’d be a huge pity if that mountain isn’t put to good use. Mr. Huo, would you mind renting some land to me?”


  ‘Rent some land? Did she take the initiative in bed last night for the sake of renting land?’
