Chapter 385: See You Tomorrow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was night.
Huo Xunzhou kept looking down at his phone when he walked out of Huo Corporation building after work.
He had sent a message to Lin Shanchu before leaving the office.
However, she never replied.
It was already dinner time.
He thought that Lin Shanchu was probably having dinner with Lin Suguang and had no time to look at her phone.
“Big Brother!”
Li MO parked the car at the entrance, rolled down the car window and poked his head out before waving at Huo Xunzhou.
When Huo Xunzhou came closer, Li MO did not get out of the car to open the door for him. Instead, he urged him. “It’s so cold today. Hurry up and get in the car.”
The two of them were close, but Li MO was a serious person. Huo Xunzhou had paid him a salary, so he had been serious about his job as a bodyguard and part-time driver.
But today, he did not get out of the car to open the door for Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou kept quiet and just glanced indifferently at Li Mo.
On the other hand, Li MO already rolled up the car window.
It was a little abnormal.
With that thought in mind, Huo Xunzhou reached out to open the door to the backseat.
At this moment, someone suddenly opened the car door from the inside.
Huo Xunzhou leaned over and looked inside. The first thing he saw was a large bouquet of flowers.
A fluffy head poked out from behind the bouquet. The young lady’s exquisite eyes were filled with joy and her voice was soft.
“Brother Xunzhou, I’m here to pick you up from work!”
Huo Xunzhou’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes softened as he asked, “Didn’t you agree to accompany your uncle?”
“He’s busy.” Lin Shanchu moved closer and said, “Get in the car. It’s cold outside.”
As soon as Huo Xunzhou got into the car, Lin Shanchu stuffed the bouquet of flowers into his hands.
“I bought it especially for you. Do you like it?”
Huo Xunzhou looked at the flowers in his hand and then at the expectant young lady.
Then, he raised the flowers in front of him with one hand and pulled her over with the other. After that, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Li MO, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, was driving seriously.
Disappointment flashed across his eyes when he saw the scene in the rear seat through the rearview mirror.
They were all family. Was there anything he could not see?
Was there a need to cover themselves with flowers?
Huo Xunzhou got up and ended the kiss before answering her question.
“I like it.”
Lin Shanchu looked up at him and said coquettishly, “I even booked a restaurant.”
“How do you feel?” Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou after the two of them finished ordering food at the restaurant. Huo Xunzhou kept curling his lips.
“Very good.”
The restaurant was very good.
The lighting was very good.
The person opposite him was the best.
Lin Shanchu hummed happily after getting a satisfactory answer.
Huo Xunzhou just smiled and looked at her.
“What did you do today?” Huo Xunzhou softly asked Lin Shanchu when it was time for dessert after dinner.
“I woke up quite late in the morning. After breakfast, I watched a movie the entire morning. In the afternoon, I tried on clothes. The brand owner sent a lot of clothes over…”
Lin Shanchu told him everything about the day’s schedule. She looked obedient and did not look like she had caused any trouble.
After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou’s inquisitive expression before he could completely restrain himself.
She pushed the dessert in front of her to the side and frowned at him.
“Did you think I gave you flowers and arranged dinner for you because I caused trouble?”
Huo Xunzhou was at a loss for words.
It was because he really thought so.
“Hmph!” Lin Shanchu crossed her arms angrily and shouted, “Huo Xunzhou! Don’t even think about getting the marriage certificate with me tomorrow!”
“What did you say?
Huo Xunzhou’s mind went blank for a moment.
“Forget it if you didn’t hear me.” Lin Shanchu beckoned for the waiter. “The bill, please.”
Huo Xunzhou subconsciously wanted to pay the bill.
Lin Shanchu stared daggers at him. ‘You dare to try and snatch the bill from
Huo Xunzhou silently put down his phone.
After paying the bill, Lin Shanchu walked in front with her arms crossed and her chin raised, whereas Huo Xunzhou followed behind her without saying a word.
He controlled his steps and followed closely behind her. His face was clearly cold and aloof, but when the passers-by looked at him, the first thing they felt was that he had been tamed.
Li MO left after driving them to the restaurant, but he left the car behind.
When Lin Shanchu walked up to the car, Huo Xunzhou stepped forward and opened the door to the passenger seat.
Lin Shanchu calmly got into the car. After closing the door, Huo Xunzhou got in from the other side.
Until the car started, the two of them did not exchange a word.
It was past the rush hour and the car moved smoothly on the road. Finally, Huo Xunzhou’s voice sounded when the car stopped at a big intersection and waited for the red light.
“You just said that tomorrow…”
As Huo Xunzhou spoke, his fingers kept tapping on the steering wheel, looking restless.
He turned to look at Lin Shanchu and asked, “To get our marriage certificate?”
Lin Shanchu replied indifferently, “Yes.”
Huo Xunzhou’s eyes brightened as he asked cautiously, “So we’ll go early tomorrow morning?”
“President Huo, don’t you have to go to work early tomorrow morning?” Lin Shanchu asked in a lukewarm tone, “Do you have time?”
Huo Xunzhou immediately said, “I’ll go to work after we get the certificate.”
He sat up straight and took his hands off the steering wheel, looking as if he was overwhelmed with joy.
Looking at the traffic light in front her, Lin Shanchu reminded, “It’s greenlight.”
Huo Xunzhou quickly started the car.
After driving for some distance, he turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou was waiting for her answer.
She smiled at him and replied, “Alright.”
Huo Xunzhou’s lips squirmed. He wanted to say something but did not know what to say. He looked confused yet excited, and his usual calm and reserved look was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Shanchu said, “Drive properly.”
Huo Xunzhou nodded vigorously as he replied, “Alright.”
He answered so seriously that he looked a little silly.
Lin Shanchu felt that his uncle was right. Huo Xunzhou was indeed a little silly.
Huo Xunzhou parked the car outside Lin Shanchu’s house.
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Wait for me at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:30 a.m.”
“Alright.”
Although Huo Xunzhou wanted to pick Lin Shanchu up and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together, her tone was serious. Therefore, he did not insist on doing so.
Although Lin Shanchu would always pretend to be obedient and make him happy after causing trouble, she always kept her word in such matters.
After walking for a distance, Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou standing in front of the car and looking at her from afar.
Lin Shanchu stood there for a moment before running back.
She ran to Huo Xunzhou and stopped in her tracks.
“What’s wrong?” As soon as Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, the lady in front of him tiptoed and kissed him.
Out of habit, Huo Xunzhou reached out and hugged her waist.
“See you tomorrow.” Lin Shanchu pushed him away without hesitation after kissing him.
“See you tomorrow,” Huo Xunzhou replied gently, as if he was carried away by the joy.
On the way back, Huo Xunzhou kept thinking about what he should bring and what preparations he should make to get the marriage certificate..
