Huo Yanzhao said calmly, âXuefei had something to do today and couldnât come, so she asked me to bring this to you.â
âI knew it!â Huo Yanhuiâs tone was indignant, âBig brother, youâre so shameless!â
Su Zixi couldnât help but laugh, as she accepted the gift, âThank you, Big Brother Huo, and please thank Senior Xuefei for me.â
âSure thing,â Huo Yanzhao said with a slight smile.
At this moment, Yun Shenhan also took out an exquisite box, handed it to Su Zixi with a smile, âThis is my gift. Rest assured, I prepared this one myself.â
Su Zixi gratefully accepted it, âThank you, Big Brother Yun. I appreciate your care before.â
Yun Shenhan lifted his eyes, seemingly giving her an indifferent once-over, before quickly retracting his gaze, and smiling faintly, âItâs nothing.â
He sat back on the sofa, lifting his cup for a sip. He happened to be sitting opposite He Jingyao and Su Zixi, so he could clearly see the intimacy between the two was heartfelt.
âDamn, how come all of you prepared gifts!â Huo Yanhui exploded, âAnd nobody reminded me?â
âFor this kind of thing, itâs the thought that counts. You actually need someone to remind you?â Huo Yanzhao shot him a glare.
âYou have the nerve to talk, your gift was clearly prepared by sister-in-law!â
âXuefei and I are husband and wife, we are one in the same. Does it matter who prepared it?â Huo Yanzhao said leisurely.
Huo Yanhui was infuriated, âBig deal, you have a partner, picking on us singles!â
Yun Shenhan seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, âIâm single too, yet no one helped me prepare. So it goes to show, itâs all about the thought. Zhixi, donât you think we should punish this guy with five big cups?â
Huo Yanhuiâs face turned cold!
Su Zixi couldnât help but laugh, âFive cups might not be necessaryâ¦â
Huo Yanhuiâs face showed gratitude, just as he was about to express his deepest emotions, Su Zixi added, âI think three cups is about right.â
Huo Yanhuiâs face turned green once again.
Huo Yanzhao burst into laughter, and Yun Shenhan opportunistically brought out three cups, filling each one, âZhixi has spoken, you better do your best. Todayâs drinks are on me.â
Su Zixi looked at Huo Yanhui sincerely, and he had no choice but to pick up a cup with tears in his eyes and down it in one go.
After finishing, he looked pitifully towards He Jingyao.
He Jingyao received Huo Yanhuiâs plea for rescue, smiled slightly, and indicated with his eyes, âYou still have two cups to go.â
âDamn, a bunch of inhumans!â Huo Yanhui cursed, reluctantly downing the remaining two cups.
After finishing, he collapsed on the sofa without moving.
Huo Yanzhao looked at his brother with disdain and then turned his attention to He Jingyao, âAre you two really trying for a baby?â
Su Zixiâs face turned red.
He Jingyao gave him a lazy glance, âDo you have a problem with that?â
âTskâ¦â Huo Yanzhao gave him a meaningful look, âAs a married man, you canât hide it from me. If you havenât succeeded, just say it. I wonât laugh at you.â
âWhat?â Huo Yanhui, who had been half-dead moments ago, immediately perked up, his eyes bulging as he looked towards the two.
He Jingyaoâs eyes darkened, and he looked coldly at Huo Yanzhao.
Yun Shenhan gave a light cough, chose not to speak but poured a cup of wine for He Jingyao, âThis is a fine bottle I obtained last month, it would be a shame not to try it.â@@novelbin@@
The temperature in the box seemed to drop several degrees⦠Su Zixi couldnât help but shrink her neck, seeing the teasing looks from the others, she felt that she really couldnât let Mr. He be questioned like thisâ¦
In a moment of impulsiveness, she blurted out, âWho says he hasnât succeeded! Jingyao is quite impressive!â
