Chapter 216
Mingxin Group Building.
After the meeting, Bai Shuiru held the folder and deliberately waited until the last one to leave. She originally wanted to go into Hei Huomian's office when there were fewer people around. But then she heard the six secret guards protecting her talking as they walked:
“Now people are saying:
The Hades Emperor announced that he would not run for the next Hades Emperor election in response to his scandal of lusting after women and withdrawing from the election.
"I said Qi Chu had bad intentions. He announced his candidacy for the next 'Underworld Emperor' before the Underworld Emperor did, stealing the spotlight. Now the conspiracy theories in the public opinion all believe that Qi Chu is the mastermind behind the Underworld Emperor's lust for women!"
"The odds of the black market and the betting increased at the same time last night. The current odds of Hades..." Dark Guard Three glanced back at Bai Shuiru before continuing:
"It's slightly improved."
Qi Chu? Not the Three Realms Supervisor, the one who attended Huo Mian’s birthday party…
Baishui subconsciously slowed down his pace and heard the staff carrying takeaways on the roadside talking about something:
"The Hades won't really give up the election and abandon us, right?!"
"Looking at the history of the Hades family's dedication to the underworld, I, the Hades Emperor, will not let this go!"
"Don't tell me, I heard that Qi Chu actually has a very strong background!" The staff member looked around and added:
"Qi Chu was an orphan. He was actually adopted and educated by one of the five major families. Later, he was pushed to slowly enter politics..."
"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions!"
"Speak softly, so no one can hear you..."
"Who else would be here...Ming, Miss Bai!"
"Muxian he..." Before Bai Shuiru could finish her words, she saw the secret guards all bowing respectfully towards her. Suddenly, someone hugged her waist from behind, and then someone's chin pressed against her shoulder, and a sticky kiss fell on her cheek. "Who is Muxian?"
Bai Shuiru's heart skipped a beat. She missed the chance to detect the excitement hidden in the other person's words and just swallowed.
Hei Huomian is a jealous person. If he knows that I have a childhood sweetheart, won’t he be jealous until the next life?
Bai Shuiru asked wittily:
"What do you mean by 'wood'?"
Hei Huomian held the little girl's chin with his hand, pulled her towards him, and kissed her deeply for half a minute. He then pecked her lips lingeringly, and then:
"I'm asking you! Who is 'Muxian'?"
Bai Shuiru, who was dizzy from the man's kiss, was startled when she heard the words and immediately came to her senses. She responded:
"What do you mean by 'dusk string'? I mean 'wood chips', wood scraps. What do you think? I can use wood chips with aromatic smells like agarwood and sandalwood to make sand into an hourglass?"
"It is creative indeed," the man gave another kiss before slowly responding, "But the hourglass is sealed. No matter how fragrant the sawdust sand inside is, you won't be able to smell it."
The little girl suddenly realized and was about to knock her head with her hand, but the man held her hand and kissed the back and palm of her hand, "Yes, Hei Huo Mian, you are so smart!"
Hei Huomian noticed that the person in his arms breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't point it out and just carried her to his office, "I'm hungry, I want to have lunch..."
Bai Shuiru, oh Bai Shuiru, am I, Mu Xian, so shameful?
When exactly will I find the right time to tell you everything?
In the chairman's office, Hei Huomian took off his sunglasses, rubbed his brows, and ordered:
"That's it for today."
Li You, who was standing by, closed and sorted out the approved and signed documents on the table, "Yes, Emperor Ming still has to keep his appointment with Miss Bai."
"Yes, today is her birthday." Hei Huomian nodded and looked up at the gift box on the coffee table beside her.
In the past, when I celebrated my birthday, Shuiru was my personal guardian stone and playmate, and we always celebrated my birthday together.
Should I take advantage of my birthday tonight to explain things to Shui Ru?
When Hei Huomian rushed back to Sucong Manor, Uncle Nan was already standing in front of the mansion waiting to greet him.
"Master, you are finally back. Madam," Uncle Nan had to change his words based on Bai Shuiru's insistence, but he was still not used to it, "--I mean Miss Bai has been busy in the kitchen for nearly three and a half hours."
"The good news is," Uncle Nan raised his hand and pointed to the kitchen, introducing Bai Shuiru's "achievements":
"Our kitchen renovation was basically intact, except for the loss of two pots, three Luoyue Royal Dulin porcelain bowls, five 800-year-old blue and white porcelain plates, two identical spoons, five pounds of barnacles, ten pounds of king crabs, and of course the sewer also needed to be cleared. Of course, the most important thing is that she didn't hurt her skillful hands."
"This is indeed the best news, isn't it?" Hei Huomian nodded slightly to Uncle Nan.
"Don't worry, Master. Your special plan is going well. Miss Bai asks you to wait for her in the small dining room."
A few minutes later, Hei Zhan Ze and his family also returned to Sucong Manor.
"You're finally back!" As soon as Jing Youxi stepped into the mansion, she cried out and jumped into the arms of her husband.
Hei Zhan Ze quickly dropped the large and small shopping bags in his hands and swiftly and steadily hugged his beloved wife.
"Yes, we finally got back on the birthday of our daughter-in-law... our future daughter-in-law." Hei Zhan Ze hugged Jing Youxi, turned around and looked at the man holding a ball of "moving cotton with legs", and asked with concern:
"Wanwan, are you sure you don't want daddy's help?"
After "cotton", Heihuowan responded stubbornly and softly:
"It's okay, Wanwan. Youtiaotiao will definitely like this gift I brought back for him."
"Master, Madam, Young Master, you are back." Uncle Nan hurried over from the restaurant and took the gifts and souvenirs from the three people together with the butler. "Miss Bai is cooking for Young Master in the kitchen. She said she wants to celebrate his birthday in person."
"Oh~!" Jing Youxi nodded in understanding, turned to her husband, and said tenderly:
"It seems our son has 'special plans' tonight. Never mind, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. Since the couple wants to celebrate their birthday alone, Wanwan, how about going to the garden for a barbecue with mom and dad?"
"Okay~!" Hei Huowan waved to his pet, "You Tiao Tiao, let's go have some barbecue, okay?"
"Woof!" The fried dough sticks with snow-white cotton "wings" responded to the call and flew to the feet of their little master, then ran to the garden with him.
In the small restaurant.
Hei Huomian had just sat down and picked up his tea when Bai Shuiru pushed the dining cart into the restaurant.
"I've tried my best to cook some dishes. I've tried them all. You definitely won't get diarrhea after eating them." She smiled and winked at the man, pointing to the small table beside her. "Don't worry even if you get diarrhea. I've prepared everything."
Hei Huomian followed her line of sight and saw a row of various drugs for treating diarrhea, and couldn't help laughing. "Do you have so little confidence in yourself? Then I'll take back the 200% confidence I gave you... 198%!"
He clenched his fist to cover his lips, and opened his slender fingers one by one to count:
"After all, your strengths are jewelry design, jewelry making, and... eating!" He was then beaten by his fiancée in "retaliation."
"Hei Huo Mian, today is my birthday! Can't you give me some face?"
"I even acted as a sandbag, isn't that giving you face?"
One is playing and laughing, one is pinching the face and the other is hugging the waist. The perfectly matched couple is like a pair of deer chasing and playing in the flowers in the wild.
Bai Shuiru made a fuss for a while, then pouted and said:
"Hmph, what about girlfriends and fiancees? You're just lying to me!" Even if today is my original body's birthday, I can't lose face! "Anyway, I made the dishes for you with my own hands, so you have to lick the plate clean~!" The little girl smiled mischievously, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a dish to feed Hei Huo Mian's mouth, and uttered a word:
"Dark, fire, sleep, I...wash, the flowers." The speech became faster and more unclear towards the end.
"What did you say?!" Hei Huomian was pressed on a chair by the little girl and was busy chewing the food that was continuously fed into his mouth. Suddenly, he sat up straight in surprise, looked at the girl inquiringly, then quickly woke up and hurriedly gobbled it up.
God knows that even though they have been in a relationship for so long, the girl has never seriously expressed her feelings for him.
"I didn't say anything." Bai Shuiru's face turned red with shame, and she shook her head repeatedly to deny it. "I, I just said, you have to eat well!" She picked up the soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup to feed Heihuo Mian, but the other party grabbed her wrist and she couldn't move.
"Say it again, let me hear it clearly, or I won't drink." The man took off his sunglasses and looked at his beloved seriously. His relentlessness revealed expectations and pleadings that were difficult to conceal.
Bai Shuiru shyly turned her head away, glanced at Hei Huomian from the corner of her eyes, then lowered her eyes and stretched out her arms to hug his neck, leaning close to his ear and whispering word by word:
"Hei Huo Mian - I think I really like you, I really like you."
"After the car accident this time, I was very afraid that you would get hurt because of protecting me. I would rather get hurt myself than have you get hurt for me." Bai Shuiru tightened her arms, whispered to Hei Huomian, and whispered:
"I am afraid of losing you, Hei Huo Mian. I am afraid that I will never be able to hold you again. There will be no one like you who supports me, encourages me, but does not restrict me."
She held Hei Huo Mian in her hands, and her words were gentler than water, yet also a little domineering and commanding, "You promised me that you would always stay by my side, no matter how long it takes."
At the beginning, I was with Muxian day and night, but I didn't seem to realize that he and I must be together forever.
It wasn’t until I met Hei Huo Mian that I realized:
If I must find someone to accompany me forever until a long time later, then that person can only be him, Hei Huo Mian; and the only one by his side can only be me; irreplaceable and one of a kind in the world.
Tears flickered in Hei Huomian's eyes, like a believer worshipping the god he believed in. He held Bai Shuiru's hands in his hands and kissed them, swearing and promising at the same time:
"You are my destined lover, Bai Shuiru. I, Hei Huo Mian, will never have another person except you for the rest of my life."
Bai Shuiru suddenly realized something and looked at his left and right hands and wrists, and asked Hei Huomian for confirmation:
"Then should we exchange souls and take a 'soul oath'?"
"Are you willing?"
"Yes." Bai Shuiru nodded and quickly added, looking at his wrist:
"Will it hurt?"
Hei Huomian kissed Bai Shuiru's forehead and lips lovingly and smiled, "Little fool, we have already made a 'soul oath'."
I've already made a "soul oath"? How come I didn't know about it?
Bai Shuiru's sweet smile gradually froze in doubt.
