Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

Xiao Xia secretly asked Fu Yan when Cao Yuan's birthday was.

October 20th.

She silently remembered it in her heart.

On the afternoon of October 20, she sent Cao Yuan a WeChat message: Do you still mean what you said?

On the other end of WeChat, Cao Yuan replied instantly: It counts.

Xiaoxia sent a snickering emoticon: I didn’t say which sentence it was, so you count?

Cao Yuan: It all counts.

Xiaoxia threw her phone on the desk and clutched her chest tightly, fearing that her heart would jump out of it.

After a few seconds, she regained her composure and sent a message: I have to work overtime tonight.

Cao Yuan: Okay, I'll pick you up.

Xiaoxia: See you at nine o'clock in the evening.

Cao Yuan: OK.

He really remembered it, he didn't just say it casually.

Xiao Xia silently added two points to Cao Yuan. She calculated in her mind that it was already a perfect score!

Cao Yuan must have been tailor-made for her by God. How could every detail be precisely aimed at her preferences?

Just after eight o'clock in the evening, Xiaoxia suddenly received a call from her mother: "Xinxin, grandma fell. Your dad and I are preparing to go back now."

"what!"

Xiaoxia stood up from her seat, took the bag hanging behind the chair, and asked anxiously: "Is the injury serious?"

"We don't know yet."

Xiaoxia became even more anxious, "I won't go to work tomorrow over the weekend, so I'll go back with you."

"Okay, you start from the company now and we will meet at the bus station."

Xiaoxia hung up the phone, hurriedly sorted out the files on the computer, and left the department without stopping.

When the elevator reached the first floor, the moment the door opened, she suddenly remembered that today was Cao Yuan's birthday.

She also told him about her overtime work tonight. He should be on the way here now, right?

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia quickly took out her mobile phone and quickly dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

Xiaoxia was about to speak when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall and upright figure in the company hall.

A man who is 1.91 meters tall and has a figure comparable to that of a model. Who is it but Cao Yuan?

She subconsciously looked at the electronic display on the first floor.

Ten past eight.

He actually arrived so early.

Xiao Xia's heart suddenly ached. Cao Yuan turned his back to her direction and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you arrive so early?"

The voice on the phone overlapped with a voice coming from behind.

Cao Yuan turned around holding his cell phone and met Xiaoxia's eyes.

His slightly frowned brows relaxed in an instant, as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoxia called him just now, and he was even a little worried that something had happened to her.

But in the next second, he frowned again.

Xiaoxia's eyes were red.

Xiaoxia walked up to him quickly and said anxiously: "I'm sorry Cao Yuan, I have to go back to my hometown. Grandma fell. I don't know if it's serious or not."

"Don't worry, are you going back soon?" Cao Yuan looked into her eyes.

Xiaoxia nodded, her eyes getting redder, "My parents have already left, and we made an appointment to meet at the bus station."

"I'll take you to the station. I'll call someone to contact you right away wherever your grandma is sent."

Cao Yuan took Xiao Xia's arm and walked out, while skillfully dialing a number and going out.

The Huo Group's businesses are spread all over the country, including in the prefecture-level cities where Xiaoxia's hometown belongs.

Grandma Xia was sent to the township health center. After a few phone calls, someone was found who could take care of her.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yuan turned the steering wheel and glanced at Xiao Xia's anxious look from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, he stretched out a hand and wrapped his generous palm around Xiaoxia's hand, "It's okay, someone will call later."

Xiaoxia nodded, "Thank you, Cao Yuan."

Just as Cao Yuan was about to speak, the phone rang. He took back Xiaoxia's hand and answered the phone, "Is this Mr. Cao?"

"Well, I am."

"I am a doctor from Jing'an Town Health Center. Your friend's grandma is in good condition. She just sprained her foot and has difficulty moving. Please don't worry too much."

Xiao Xia's chest felt sore and her tears fell.

With a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, the car arrived at the bus station immediately.

Cao Yuan stopped the car and clenched his fingers. He pursed his lips and wiped Xiaoxia's tears with the back of his hand.

Warm tears slid down his wrist bones.

At this moment, Xiaoxia's phone rang. It was her mother. She must have arrived at the bus station and didn't see her.

She quickly picked up the phone, "Mom, I'm here..."

"Xinxin, we have arrived at the bus station, but the car suddenly won't start. I don't know where the fault is. Your dad is calling someone to come and take a look. Don't be too anxious on the way."

Mother thought she came on a little electric donkey.

At this time, Cao Yuan's voice came from Xiaoxia's side, "I can drive you back."

Two minutes later, Cao Yuan and Xiao Xia appeared in front of the Xia family.

Xia's father, Xia's mother, and Xiao Xia's younger brother Xia Ming were stunned when they looked at Cao Yuan, who was like a giant in front of them.

Xiao Xia's parents are both not tall. Her mother is less than 1.6 meters tall, her father is less than 1.7 meters tall, and her younger brother Xia Ming is only in the fifth grade of elementary school.

Cao Yuan, who is 1.91 meters tall, is a bit too much for them.

Xiaoxia stood next to Cao Yuan and introduced awkwardly: "Mom and Dad, this is my friend. He said he can send us back."

"How embarrassing is this? More than three hundred kilometers of land is too troublesome for others." Xia's mother said quickly.

Father Xia agreed, "Yes, I've already called someone to come and see it. There shouldn't be any big problem."

"it does not matter."

Cao Yuan suddenly spoke.

It's just that he wasn't good at dealing with this situation. After thinking about it, he solemnly said, "I'm chasing Xia Xinxin."

Xiaoxia's eyes widened and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

This idiot...

Xia Mu: "..."

Father Xia: "..."

Xia Ming: "...Wow!"

Xia Mu patted the back of his head.

She wanted to smile and talk, but found that she was digging her toes on the ground in embarrassment. She laughed twice and said, "I can't trouble you. We appreciate your kindness. Thank you."

Xia's mother didn't want to trouble him, but she was still pursuing Xinxin, so her family just asked others to do that. It was too unethical.

But Cao Yuan thought he had been rejected, "Get in the car first. If the expressway is temporarily closed later, you may not be able to get off the expressway."

Xia's father also received a notice about this. There was an accident on the highway going back to his hometown and it was temporarily closed, so he was anxious.

After thinking about it, he looked at Xiaoxia, wanting to ask his daughter's opinion, and his eyes told her not to bother her if she didn't agree.

Xiaoxia's face turned red, like a cooked shrimp, and she nodded mechanically.

The Xia family got into the big black G on the roadside.

Xiaoxia was sitting in the passenger seat, facing the death stares of her family members in the back seat, not even daring to look back.

From the corner of his eye, he looked at Cao Yuan who was driving. How could he say those words so calmly and honestly?

However, he never officially confessed his love to her.
