She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

Huo Xibai specially picked a photo with a good angle, showing only one of Meng Xia's hands, and posted it on WeChat Moments with the text -

It tastes pretty good.

As soon as the picture was posted, it immediately attracted a group of people to watch——

"Hey, which beauty is Master Huo dating?"

"Four dishes and one soup for a date at your house? This is obviously a young couple cooking at home, right?"

"So, this is the official announcement?"

Lu Zeye directly sent a series of question marks, and then sent a meaningful expression, "Weren't you looking worried two days ago, how can you get it done so quickly?"

Huo Xibai raised his head and glanced at the woman eating silently across from him. He was about to reply when Meng Xia suddenly raised his eyes and looked over, "What? Doesn't it taste good?"

She saw that he seemed to be holding a mobile phone and didn't take a few bites.

"No, it's delicious."

Sensing her gaze, Huo Xibai immediately put down his phone and started eating.

"Well, the taste is better than before. It's ready to open a store directly. How about I invest in you to open a Chinese restaurant?"

Before Meng Xia could speak, he frowned again, "However, I don't want others to be able to eat the food you made... Otherwise, I will find a few more chefs for you, and then you can only cook it for me. vegetable?"

"..."

Meng Xia ignored the man's joke. She didn't know how good she was at cooking. Besides, she didn't like being a chef.

"Seriously? Don't you think about it?"

Huo Xibai raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Of course, I won't invest in you in vain. How about you hand over 30% of your profits to me every year?"

"Need not."

Meng Xia finally raised his head, pursed his lips and whispered, "The Chinese New Year will be in two or three months, so forget it this year and wait until next year... I want to change my job to something related to fashion design."

Huo Xibai's words last time reminded her that she studied fashion design in college. She also participated in some competitions and won some honors at that time.

Although it has been many years, she still wants to try a field she is more familiar with compared to other industries.

As if he didn't expect that she actually had plans of her own, Huo Xibai pursed his lips with satisfaction, "Then... do you want me to invest in you to open a studio?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman's righteous words, "No need, I will handle my own affairs myself."

"Tsk, if you don't make good use of my ready-made resources, I don't know whether you should be called innocent or stupid?"

Huo Xibai clicked his tongue, but Meng Xia frowned in disapproval. From the Huo family to the Song family, she only understood one thing -

There is no free lunch in the world. The luck she got by chance will one day be returned in another way.

Not to mention that Huo Xibai had plans for her...

After dinner.

Huo Xibai picked up the phone and saw the messages bombarded by the group of people. Seeing all the messages asking him to take people out to meet him quickly, he couldn't help but curl his lips. Just when he was about to reply, a call came in. , three words light up on the screen——

Huo Xicheng.

Although his circle of friends had long blocked him, Huo Xicheng would come to him, which was within his expectation.

His eyes dimmed and he hesitated for a few seconds before he glanced at Meng Xia who was still cleaning up in the kitchen. He got up and went to the balcony to answer the phone, "Hello."

"When did you come back?"

The indifferent male voice came from the phone, causing Huo Xi to curl his lips, "What? You don't want me to come back?"

"If I don't return to China, how will I know that Meng Xia has been married for five years, and how will I know that you have been lying to me?"

There was a hint of casual sarcasm in his low and hoarse voice, but the man on the other end of the phone still spoke unhurriedly, "In a sense, she is indeed doing well."

"I went to the wedding. The man has a good family background and is gentle and polite. I even specially allocated a property in Meng Xia's name, which is enough for her to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life."
