“What are you thinking about, Darling?”


  “In thinking about you….” At this point, Yan Jinyi instantly stopped and looked at Huo Xishen smilingly. “I’m thinking about how you managed to train the escort team so well. Mr. Huo, can lend me a few of them?”


  “Huh?”


  Yan Jinyi waved her hand and said, “I don’t mean anything else. It’s mainly because lots of upper-class figures visit the Black Clouds Fortress everyday so I’m afraid that there might be security issues. Since I have to hire some security officers anyway, I might as well hire the members of our own escort team instead of letting others get an advantage!”


  After a moment of silence, Huo Xishen said, “Darling, you’re right.”


  With a radiant smile on her face, Yan Jinyi inched closer to Huo Xishen and asked, “So, how many people do you plan to send over, Mr. Huo?”


  “How many do you think is appropriate?”


  Yan Jinyi’s smile grew even wider. ‘The more the better, of course!’


  “Since they’re all your subordinates, it’s definitely your call, Mr. Huo.”


  Huo Xishen obviously knew what she was thinking, he just chose not to expose her.

  Yan Jinyi was still staring at Huo Xishen with an expectant gaze, and winking at him every now and then.

  “Two. One on each side of the gate.”


  “…”


  “Just let me have Qin He.”


  Huo Xishen directly refuted, “Qin He has a mission to carry out and he has a really high salary so I’m afraid you’ll feel the pinch, Darling.”


  ‘So, I have to pay his subordinates a salary?’


  He could tell that Yan Jinyi was bewildered and he started to explain righteously, “Whoever hires them will have to pay them a salary. I reckon you should understand that, Darling.”


  ‘Understand my foot… Forget it, I don’t want it!’


  ‘I’ll train my own underlings and I’m going to make sure they’re all handsome.’


  Fortunately, she had Zhao Xinchen, which was quite comforting for her.

  Yan Jinyi discovered that Huo Xishen was especially talkative tonight and even had the mood to show concern about her childhood.

  She had luckily inherited the original owner’s memories. Otherwise, she would have given it away.

  “Darling, you seem to have changed a lot compared to the past.”


  ‘Duh, I’m a completely different personality. Of course I’m different.’


  “Living is about looking forward in life. Mr. Huo, do you not like the current me?”


  Seeing her glowing appearance, Huo Xishen couldn’t help but come over and press her against the car door.

  Yan Jinyi was taken aback by Huo Xishen’s sudden move. “You… You want to…”


  “You look really attractive now, Darling.”


  As he said that, he suddenly pressed his thin lips against Yan Jinyi’s completely ignoring Assistant Wen who was driving in front .

  ‘Here we go again! Here we go again!’


  Assistant Wen had a miserable expression on his face. ‘When can Boss return to his old self? I really don’t want to be agitated even while driving.’


  ‘In case of a car accident, will the responsibility be held against Mr. Huo or Mrs. Huo?’


  Huo Xishen personally cooked dinner and Yan Jinyi again couldn’t help but want to praise him for the improvement in his culinary skills.

  “Mr. Huo, can you answer a question of mine?”


  Huo Xishen helped her cut the steak and said, “Darling, please go ahead.”


  “What can’t you do?”


  Huo Xishen suddenly raised his eyes to meet her gaze. “I thought you knew, Darling.”


  “How would I know if you don’t tell me?”


  ‘He’s making it sound like I’m a god. If only I were a god. Leng Yuxi and all such people would be wiped out!’


  “I can’t give birth to a child, so I have to trouble you, Darling.”


  “…” Yan Jinyi coughed.

  “Let’s eat, let’s eat. Did you fry too little steak? My appetite has been rather large lately.”


  The sky was clear when they arrived in Tong City but she didn’t expect it to rain the next day.

  The ground was wet and the air was filled with the smell of mud.

  Huo Xishen prepared a black long-sleeved dress for Yan Jinyi. The two of them walked slowly towards the cemetery with their umbrellas.
