Chapter 249
Before Bai Shuiru could persuade him, the man embraced her. She heard him raise his eyebrows and remind her:
"—unless you call me something else."
Bai Shuiru's body stiffened instantly, her brows and eyes froze, but she still softened her voice and changed the subject:
"Mianmian, Mengmian." Heihuo Mian, who are you pretending to be so affectionate for? !
"there is none left?"
"……fiancé."
"Hey~! You can call me another name after a while." The man smiled and tapped his cheek. After receiving the kiss as he wished, he hugged Xiangruan again and promised:
"As long as you are happy, I am fine with anything. Although it may not be convenient for Ming Xin to promote Qin Xi's works in the name of the group, all expenses for Serment's promotion of his works will be borne by me personally."
"By the way..."
Bai Shuiru quickly put on a smile before the man loosened his arms and looked at her.
"Well, did you see her verdict?"
Bai Shuiru's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she nodded with gritted teeth, "Hao Mianmian, she is actually just a 'clone'. Strictly speaking, it is just a forged identity and not a real flesh-and-blood person in this world. When I wanted to see the real identity behind her, I suddenly saw a white light in front of my eyes..."
Hei Huomian hurriedly held the little girl's face with both hands and looked into her eyes carefully. "It should be the lack of Qi and blood that caused the dizziness. Eat some Eight Treasures Cake to fill your stomach first. If you still feel uncomfortable in a few days, be sure to tell me and I will take you to the hospital for a check-up."
As Hei Huo Mian spoke, he wiped his own hands with a wet towel, and then helped Bai Shuiru wipe her hands, then unwrapped a piece of Eight Treasures Cake and handed it to her. "I've asked Uncle Nan to prepare donkey hide gelatin turtle and black chicken soup, Luo Hamburger with more mushrooms and black fungus, and steamed wild yellow croaker for you. The dessert after the meal is boiled eggs with angelica and brown sugar."
"Eat again? I just drank some milk and I'm still full." Bai Shuiru turned away and couldn't help muttering:
"Why do I feel like you are fattening me up like a pig, and then waiting for the right time to kill me?" If I get fatter, will my soul become stronger?
The man was amused and laughed softly. He kissed the girl's plump forehead and hugged her in his arms. "I want to fatten you up, but how can I bear to kill you? My little pillow." Hei Huomian let go of the person in his arms, kept interlocking their fingers, and kept on mumbling:
"Then eat later. It will take another hour to get home. After dinner and a shower, go to bed. You have to follow this schedule for at least a week."
"You just want to fatten me up and then kill me!"
"Okay, okay, I want to fatten you up."
Meanwhile, somewhere.
A man who looked like an attendant answered the phone and bowed his head to report:
"Sir, Ah J said that she saw with her own eyes that Bai Shuiru had drunk Meng Po soup mixed with her hair."
A man in black sitting on a backlit sofa nodded, playing with a red spider lily in his hand, sniffing the faint fragrance, and looking at Qin Xi who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, "Very good. After this is done, I will do as you wish and rewrite the fate of you and your girlfriend, so that you can be a loving couple for generations to come."
"Thank you," Qin Xi paused and changed his words:
"——The grace of the Hades."
At dinner time, Hei Huomian was busy with work; Hei Zhan Ze and his family flew to the beach to play, leaving Bai Shuiru alone sitting at the dining table to have dinner.
What else do I need to add to my roundabout tactics so that I can successfully confuse Hei Huomian and escape?
Every time Bai Shuiru made a plan, he would decisively cut the steak on the plate with a dinner knife.
Just as Bai Shuiru was concentrating on thinking and cutting steak, she suddenly noticed a figure quietly overshadowing the beautifully decorated table and food in front of her. She was startled, took a deep breath, smiled sweetly, then looked up at Hei Huomian and said coquettishly:
"Are you finally done?"
Hei Huomian sat down, took the wet wipes handed to him by Uncle Nan, wiped his hands, and then smiled and stared at Bai Shuiru, "I compressed the work of the next few days into today, in order to rush back to see you, there is something important."
Important things? How important? Like getting back a soul?
Bai Shuiru was startled, but still took a sip of the juice slowly. In fact, under the table, her ten toes had gathered together and curled up, grabbing the soft and comfortable slippers.
"Damn it!" Bai Shuiru slapped her forehead before the man could speak with concern, holding her forehead in annoyance, but in fact she was spying on the other person's expression through the gaps between her fingers.
After spending some time with him, you will know that even Hei Huo Mian, who is known for his poker face, actually has subtle expressions due to emotional changes:
For example, the arched eyebrows at the center of the eyebrows will become more upright due to anger, and even give people the illusion of looking at the camera with angry eyebrows.
In particular, Black Fire Mian's vision was so penetrating and oppressive that even Cyclops' custom-made glasses could not withstand it.
"What's wrong?" Hei Huomian frowned slightly, "Is the food not to your taste?" He noticed that the steak on the plate was "cut into pieces" but had never been "destroyed".
"I was just thinking about how to modify the flaws in the design, but I didn't expect to cut the steak like this." Bai Shuiru hesitated and was about to start eating, but Hei Huomian exchanged the freshly-grilled steak that Uncle Nan had just served him with the one he had cut into pieces and left cold.
"Come, let's eat something fresh." Hei Huomian then bent down, took Bai Shuiru's hand, kissed it devoutly, raised his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Madam, for cutting the steak for me. I won't be polite then."
Bai Shuiru was stunned for a moment, and quickly pursed her lips in response. Then, she quickly began to lay the groundwork for her plan. She took out her cell phone and pretended to check the information, then she exclaimed "Ah", knocked her forehead on the table in frustration, shook her head and pressed it against her full and smooth forehead, and shouted:
"It's over! I just realized that there is something wrong with the design I'm going to give Mrs. Jones the day after tomorrow:
"Mrs. Jones hates grapes the most, especially purple ones, because her husband's first love liked grapes. But the amethyst parts of my three plans all lean towards this element, so I must modify them before I leave."
Although the copyright of Bai Shuiru's "24 Solar Terms" series of designs belongs to Mingxin Group, it still made a name for his own studio Serment brand and created a good start.
Mrs. Jones, a socialite who was originally a fan of Fire Whisper, praised Bai Shuiru highly after purchasing some styles in the series. She then took the initiative to contact Bai Shuiru to design wedding anniversary jewelry for her.
Hei Huomian stopped eating and stared at Bai Shuiru. His eyes did not reveal a trace of loss or sadness, but instead were full of praise and support:
"This is your first business trip to another city to discuss business with clients, so you should be well prepared. Although you have experience communicating with customers when you opened an online store before, it is still slightly different after all."
"Although Mrs. Jones has high standards, she has a wide network of contacts. You can see from her before that she has introduced many buyers to our Fire Whisper and has also helped us to get many cooperation opportunities."
Bai Shuiru nodded, understanding what the other party meant.
In fact, Hei Huomian is impeccable as a lover and a husband. He takes care of me, tolerates me and comforts me in life, and gives me enough support and encouragement in work. If it weren't for this deadlock, I would definitely stay with him for the rest of my life.
"I'll go talk to the factory right away about the model change." Bai Shuiru had already run 2 meters away from the dining table while speaking.
"Shui Ru!"
Bai Shuiru froze in place immediately due to the call.
He is really sharp. Did he discover something?
