"What nonsense." Huo Yuan Ze said in a deep voice.
"I'm not fooling around. Isn't it great for you to have such a cute and behaved darling like me to call your daddy? This is adding spice to our life." Jiang Xun even batted her left eye twice, sending him an electric discharge.
Her gaze was alluring and lovely, so Huo Yuan Ze did actually feel like he got electrocuted.
Huo Yuan Ze snorted with anger, "Then call me that."
"Daddy!" Jiang Xun's voice was loud and crisp, startling Huo Yuan Ze.
She actually did?
Huo Yuan Ze gave her an eye-roll.
Jiang Xun said, "Why aren't you answering? Then wouldn't I have called for nothing?"
"Stop talking, just stay still." Huo Yuan Ze vacated a hand to cover her mouth.
Jiang Xun's stifled laughter still sounded, "Daddy is so fierce, he's going to smother me to death."
Huo Yuan Ze truly couldn't do anything about her, so he simply used poison against poison by cooperating with her performance, "If you continue being disobedient, I'll take off your pants and spank you."
Jiang Xun stopped smiling and pushed his hand away, "Woah, so you like role-playing."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't know how to refute her with his face blushed. His eyes flashed as his Adam's apple rolled.
"Daddy Huo, then let's go home and play the game. You can play the wealthy father, I'll act as the abandoned orphan that you adopted and had me call you daddy, and then… …"
"Hold it right there, don't talk anymore." Huo Yuan Ze's brows trembled when he heard it. He quickly interrupted her, afraid that she would say something even more shameless.
Jiang Xun clutched her stomach and laughed for some time. She really did like his serious appearance that couldn't take a joke.
After a while, she laughed enough, so she stopped teasing him. Instead, she slumped in the chair and obediently played on her phone.
Huo Yuan Ze let out a sigh of relief, while an inexplicably sugary honey feeling overflowed in his heart with white bubbles appearing and the sweetness evaporating. His entire heart was filled with an almost sickening sweet breath.
...
A month later, Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze's engagement wedding was held in the Hou Ge Hotel, where the two met for the first time, and the people they invited were still the same.
As soon as the auspicious hour arrived, the ceremony began. At the same time, the newly-made large LED screens outside the hotel randomly displayed the wedding photos of Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze. Those were taken in Melbourne, the photo showcase slowly flipped through itself.
This huge screen was abruptly added half a month ago, surprising the passing by people. The architectural style of a five-star hotel like Hou Ge was already excellent, adding a screen does not fit the style of the hotel at all. The Shanghai News reported on the incident and many netizens also posted various pictures to spoof and mock the Hou Ge Hotel's sleazy operation.
An inside person of the matter revealed that the owner of the Hou Ge Hotel will hold a wedding here in half a month and estimated that this screen will be used for purposes related to such.
The wealthy circles in this city were all betting on the usefulness of this screen, but no one thought it was just used to show wedding photos. Such an old-fashioned thing turned out to be done by the Huo Group's President Huo, which is simply astonishing.
In the half of a month, except the time this large screen was tested on the day it was installed, it hasn't been used for the whole half month. Until today, it suddenly lit up, like a fantasy movie and several words appeared on the screen:
Huo Yuan Ze Jiang Xun
Once the words disappeared, the screen turned white and the first picture slid out. That was a mysterious forest photo of Jiang Xun wearing a retro styled light green open-necked dress. The neckline, cuffs and hem of the skirt were all finely laced, simple yet didn't lack exquisiteness.
Standing against the light, the contours of her face were ethereal under the effect of lighting.
She was simply so eye-catching that everyone didn't notice the man hidden behind her until the photo was about to turn page. There was a tree separating the two. Jiang Xun was in the light, while the man's face couldn't be seen clearly due to the speckles of sunlight. Only his chin and lips were clearly visible, yet this alone was enough to astound people.
This was Jiang Xun's fiance?
Thousands of people squeezed in the vicinity of the hotel, shrieking while looking at the screen. Almost half of them were taking pictures with their phones.
Dozens of photos turned at a rate of thirty seconds each and the last photo disappeared in dots.
Everyone is still immersed in the amazement from just now. These photos were no less than a visual feast, which makes people feel unsatisfied, while the screen has suddenly switched to the live broadcast inside the hotel.
The sound of music was a solemn and beautiful concerto.
Everyone's hearts also rose up in anticipation.
It can be seen that the hotel banquet hall is incredibly romantic and luxurious.
When Jiang Xun walked out, linking Huo Yuan Ze's arm, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
No one can deny the dazzlingness of Jiang Xun at this moment. She was like a white-veil wearing fairy. The hotel lights made her skin seem flawless and white as snow. Her long hair was simply decorated with a small and exquisite headband. Underneath the veil, the diamond bits were covered, but it still faintly refracted its luster under the light. And under that transparent veil, there was an immortally beautiful face. Her faint smile gave an otherworldly temperament that made people's hearts move.
At this moment, her beauty directly struck one's soul, making people forget to breathe and only want to greedily stare at her. They were helplessly immersed in this beautiful dream.
Her makeup today is actually very light. Except for the eyebrows and lips, she had no makeup in the other areas. Her big and bright eyes, long quivering eyelashes, graceful chin, and slim figure, complemented by such a gorgeous outfit was simply so beautiful that it made people want to cry.
The man next to her was also wearing a white suit. Compared to her in high heels, he was more than half a head taller and was currently tenderly looking down at her.
System: "Congratulations, Huo Yuan Ze's affection value for you has reached ninety-five. Because your luck is already full, the effect of the subsequent absorption of luck will be halved."
Jiang Xun's expression wasn't affected. She raised her eyes and looked at Huo Yuan Ze bashfully. Grasping his arm tightly, she seemed as if she were nervous and excited.
Huo Yuan Ze patted the back of her hand and whispered in a low voice, "Don't be nervous."
Hearing his voice, Jiang Xun felt he was the nervous one. Though she smirked internally, she obediently nodded with an "en".
Glancing at the red carpet under her feet, her mood was actually quite complicated and had a moment of confusion. Perhaps she was affected by the current warmth that she didn't know where to go next. Yet, since her luck was full, she should also leave.
She looked at Huo Yuan Ze. He was probably happy for the two's engagement at the moment. Considering this is the last mission, she guesses she will stay for a while longer.
...
"Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh~!"
Jiang Xun's fans screamed when they saw the photo just posted on Weibo while holding their phones.
In just a few short minutes, news such as "Jiang Xun's Fiance is Huo Yuan Ze", "Jiang Xun Got Engaged Today", "The Reveal of Jiang Xun's Mysterious Boyfriend's Identity" and so on spread across the Internet at the same speed as the wind.
Various rumors also broke out. People who knew the truth before, but were afraid to say it or were inconvenient to say it, also came forward to break more news as well as sending their congratulations on Weibo.
The previous photos of Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze, which had been secretly photographed before being quickly taken down, were reposted again.
However, no one was paying attention to those anymore. The photos on the big screen of the Hou Ge Hotel today were enough for fans to lick the screen and furiously save all available shots.
Over time, more and more people gather near the hotel. Fortunately, the hotel's security work was done exceptionally well and also partly because they had been prepared for a long time. Every entrance and exit of the hotel was guarded by specially hired security guards. On each floor, there were also people protecting the area, who didn't allow anyone without an invitation letter to be let into the banquet hall.
The engagement ceremony of Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze went smoothly. After the two-hour banquet, the hotel was still crowded with people. Since everyone thought Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze would eventually come out, whether they were fans, reporters, or bystanders watching the excitement was all waiting at the exits.
Who knew a helicopter would buzzingly appear, hovering in mid-air? Then, Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze went to the top floor and left on this helicopter.
The two were sent to a mountain holiday villa a few hundred kilometers away from the Hou Ge Hotel.
The villa was surrounded by private woodland for several miles, bought by Huo Yuan Ze with huge sums of money three months ago. It was a piece of pure land like a paradise.
As soon as they exited the helicopter, Jiang Xun could feel the fragrance of the fresh air with a moist woody scent.
Huo Yuan Ze took her hand and asked, "Tired yet?"
"Tired, I want Daddy's hug."
Ever since joking that day, Jiang Xun has been calling him this way. For several days, Huo Yuan Ze felt awkward, but now he was used to it. Sometimes he'll even joke with her if he is in a good mood.
Huo Yuan Ze familiarly picked her up. He watched out for the path under his feet and walked steadily step by step. The place where the helicopter dropped them off is still a few hundred meters away from the villa. Due to the fact it rained a few days prior, the road was a bit muddy and not easy to walk. Even if Jiang Xun didn't have him carry her, he wouldn't let her walk by herself. After a day's tiredness today, Jiang Xun's strength was probably overstretched. If she accidentally falls, then for the next several days, she can only lie down in the villa and can't even think about having fun.
Huo Yuan Ze's footsteps were swift, so they arrived at the door of the villa in a short while. The housekeeper had been waiting there for quite some time. These few days he will be responsible for the daily necessities of Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze, but specifically cooking.
Once the two of them washed up, the sky had gradually darkened. The dining place was in the balcony restaurant, where they could just happen to see the sunset. Numerous clouds bloomed on the dusky horizon with its orange-red and purple brilliance transmitted to them, giving them a fantasy-like kind of beauty.
The dinner couldn't be considered hearty, but the taste was quite delicious. Jiang Xun was already hungry as she had no time to eat at the banquet. She only sipped some champagne. At this moment, she was busy watching the fleeting sunset while eating. She had a sense of tense yet satisfactory feeling.
Whereas Huo Yuan Ze, who was sitting across from her, was even busier than her. He bowed his head and had a bite of food from time to time before following her gaze to watch the beautiful sunset.
The expression on Jiang Xun's face was plentiful. Watching her, Huo Yuan Ze didn't want to do anything else.
"How many days are we going to stay here?" Jiang Xun picked up the napkin to wipe a non-existent stain on the corner of her mouth.
"Five days, or even longer, depending on your preference." Huo Yuan Ze also set down his knife and fork.
Jiang Xun lifted her chin slightly in thought, "It depends on whether it's fun here."
"En, how do you want to play?"
"I should probably ask Jin Zhu Daddy how he wants to play with me?" Jiang Xun supported her cheeks with her hands and stared straight at him, "I'll fully cooperate with you."
Her provocative words made Huo Yuan Ze's lips curl up, "Then can you guess what Jin Zhu Daddy wants to play? If you guessed right, I'll give you whatever you want."
Jiang Xun tilted her head and thought for a while, "I'm guessing what you want to play most is… … your little darling."
Standing up, Jiang Xun unbuttoned her windbreaker and threw it on the chair beside them. Wearing only a white spaghetti backless V-neck long dress, she walked to Huo Yuan Ze. Her fingers landed on his shoulders and unskillfully massaged him.
"You mean, you're my little darling?" Huo Yuan Ze said amusedly.
Jiang Xun raised her chin and responded somewhat proudly, "Eh."
"Otherwise, which other darling were you thinking?"
Jiang Xun didn't shy away from dirty-talk. Every time, Huo Yuan Ze would be helpless against her obscenities. Yet, Jiang Xun just believed girls were cuter when they were talked a little dirty. When they are old, it wouldn't be fun to do it anymore. Therefore, she had to take advantage of her youth to be more cheeky.
Huo Yuan Ze picked up his phone on the table to look at the time. It would take another hour before it turned completely dark. He held Jiang Xun's hand and pulled her in front of him.
Jiang Xun glanced at him, confused, "You want to start right now? Daddy Huo seems to be in rather of a hurry."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't want to waste time, rebuking her. He only put one arm around her waist and her other hand pressed her head down so that she would press close to him and then put his own lips on her lips, kissing her not so tenderly.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Xun: Daddy Huo, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a not so young (old) handsome man, who didn't have any friends or lovers. One day, he met a little fairy and fell in love with her at first sight… …
Huo Yuan Ze: Stop talking...
Jiang Xun: Hey? Are you blushing?
Huo Yuan Ze: …
