"Stay and have dinner with me tonight. After dinner, I'll ask Boyan to send you back," Old Madam Huo suggested.
Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat.
"Thank you, grandma," Tang Xi said gratefully, unable to hide her excitement.
At half past six, the old lady was resting with her eyes closed. Tang Xi took time to leave her room and went to the living room. When she heard the sound of children playing outside the door, she went out.
The antique European-style chandelier gave off a warm light. Two four-year-old boys were setting off fireworks in the garden. Several bodyguards and servants stood beside them, waving the fireworks in their hands. The brilliant fireworks set off two beautiful and delicate faces.
"Uncle Gu, can you bring a few more for us to play?" After the fireworks were put out, the two little guys ran to the housekeeper and begged.
"I really can't play anymore. If Big Master knows that I let you play with fireworks, he will scold me as well." Uncle Gu was so scared that his face turned pale, and he quickly shook his hand.
"But we don't have any fun." The two little guys pouted.
Hearing this, Tang Xiwan felt that the timing was just right.
She immediately turned around and entered the living room. She took out two deformed King Kongs from her bag and walked out. "Kid, Auntie will give you two toys. Do you want them?"
Huo Ziye and Huo Zimo immediately turned around and saw a beautiful young woman walking over with a smile on her face. She held two King Kongs in her hands. "Who are you?" Huo Ziye narrowed his big black eyes.
"I'm your grandmother's family doctor. You can call me Aunt Tang." Tang Xi tried hard to squeeze out a gentle smile, hoping to get the approval of the two children.
"Auntie Tang is here to treat Grandma. Why would she buy us toys?" Huo Ziye asked again.
The smile on Tang Xiwan's face froze. She thought that if she gave them two toys, the two kids would happily play with them.
Unexpectedly, they asked such a question, which made her unable to answer for a while.
"Auntie Tang, you want to please us and marry my daddy, don't you?" Huo Zimo's childish voice was also unusually sharp.
Tang Xi's expression changed drastically. She looked at the two kids in front of her in disbelief. They were so young, yet they had such thoughts.
"How could that be? Young masters, you've misunderstood. I was actually going to give these two toys to my niece. Just now, I heard you guys say that there's nothing interesting about them, so I suddenly remembered that if you don't like them, then I'll take them away." Tang Xiwan was secretly shocked. It seemed that she couldn't be too deliberate. These two kids were smart. If they found out that she was trying to get close to their father, they would reject her.
"Is that so? Aunt Tang has a niece?" The two children looked at each other.
"Yes, I have two nieces. They are about the same age as you, and they like toys very much." What Tang Xi said was Ye Xi's two daughters.
"Mr. Vajra, my dad bought us a car. We've been out of it for a long time."
"Well, brother, let's go there and play with the swing." The two little boys ran away from Tang Xiwan as they chatted.
Tang Xiwan's eyes were wide open. It seemed that she had miscalculated. "The young master of the Huo family, what toys haven't I played? She wants to win their favor with two King Kongs. She really looks down on them."
When Tang Xi passed by the trash can, she was upset and threw the King Kong into it.
On the swing, the two little guys were sitting one by one, and their short legs were swinging.
At dinner time, Tang Xi followed the old lady into the dining room.
Huo Boyan was already here. Two children were sitting on both sides of him, and three faces were exactly the same.
When the old madam saw the two ancestors, her face was full of smiles.
"Ziye, Zimo, are the two of you having fun at school?" The old madam took their small hands and asked with concern.
"Very happy." The two little guys said at the same time.
As soon as Tang Xiwan entered the door, she couldn't help looking at Huo Boyan. He sat quietly at the table, staring at his two sons with gentle eyes. His cold face softened, and there was a kind of unspeakable gentleness and nobility. It was also the first time for Tang Xiwan to see him like this, and her heart beat fast.
If this man also looked at her with such gentle and doting eyes, she would be willing to die in his eyes.
"Miss Tang, I'll have to trouble you with my grandma's illness," Huo Boyan said politely when he saw her.
"Mr. Huo, you're too polite. It's my job," Tang Xi replied gently, her fair face blushing.
Old lady Huo noticed that her grandson had noticed Tang Xiwan, so she immediately took the opportunity to say, "Miss Tang is the most gentle woman I've ever seen. She's talented and well-educated. Boyan, I want to be nice to her."
Huo Boyan looked at Tang Xiwan with a gloomy look and said lightly, "It's inevitable. Miss Tang is our honored guest. We will definitely treat her well."
Old lady Huo saw that her grandson didn't dislike Tang Xiwan, so she immediately asked Huo Ziye and his brother with a smile, "You two little guys, when you see Miss Tang in the future, you have to greet her, okay?"
"I know, grandma." The two little guys were very sensible.
Tang Xiwan's heart was agitated, and her face was filled with joy. It was an honor to be respected by the Huo family.
"Grandma is too polite. I'm also very happy that I can do my best for you." Tang Xi was so proud that she called her grandma in front of Huo Boyan.
Huo Boyan narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.
The dinner went on in an orderly manner. In order to show her superb medical skills, Tang Xi talked about a few cases on the dining table where she knew the old lady. Everyone listened attentively, but in Huo Boyan's mind, there was a clear and cold face.
"Boyan, hurry up and get the cigarette back. She has to deal with the trouble she caused by herself," Old Madam Huo said seriously.
"I've already sent someone to look for her. She can't get through," Huo Boyan answered in a low voice.
"Yanyan is too reckless. Why did she set fire to the house if she didn't get married?" Old Madam Huo was so angry that she couldn't hold back her anger. This little granddaughter of hers was too troublesome.
"You know what kind of temper Yanyan has. The Zhang family must have wronged her, so she set fire to it by accident. I will explain this to the Zhang family." Huo Boyan continued to answer. Yanyan was his only sister, and he would definitely protect her.
"Well, after dinner, you leave the two children here and let them sleep here tonight. You can take Miss Tang home by the way. It's not safe for a girl to drive at night." Old Mrs. Tang was deliberately creating an opportunity for them to get along alone.
Huo Ziye and his brother opened their eyes wide. Their grandmother had an ulterior motive. Don't think that they couldn't tell that they were not three-year-old children.
Huo Boyan didn't want to be alone with Tang Xiwan, so he told Uncle Gu next to him, "Miss Tang's safety is not a small matter. Uncle Gu, find a reliable driver to send Miss Tang back."
Tang Xi's heart had not yet risen to the clouds, but it had fallen. She looked at Huo Boyan with disappointment in her eyes. He was actually unwilling?
"The driver is off work. Boyan, if you are a man, send Miss Tang away." The old lady glared at her grandson in anger and signaled him with her eyes, not to refuse again.
Huo Boyan knew that his grandmother wanted to have a blind date with him again, so he had to nod. "Okay, Miss Tang, come with me later."
"Thank you, Mr. Huo. I'll have to trouble you." Tang Xi couldn't hide her excitement, but she still pretended to be calm and reserved like a lady.
"Daddy, we also want to go home and sleep."
"Yes, yes, I don't want to be with grandma." The two little guys immediately had a little idea. Daddy already had Aunt Ye Xi. He couldn't let him be alone with other beautiful women. If something happened, what should they do?
The smile on Tang Xiwan's face froze for a second. These two annoying kids must have done it on purpose.
