The beloved one of the rich brother

It was raining heavily outside the window and the sky was dark. The afternoon, which should have been bright and clear, became gloomy and grey.

Grandma glanced at the heavy rain outside the window, her eyes like deep pools full of concern, and looked at Huo Chengluo, "My dear husband Xiaoyou, I don't think this heavy rain will stop for a while, and I don't have any clothes suitable for you to wear."

"You should go into the room and take off your clothes. I'll dry them over the stove, or a hair dryer will work."

Huo Chengluo paused while wiping his hair, shook his head, and spoke in his usual tone, neither too high nor too low, "No need, grandma! I can just wipe it!"

Grandma seemed to be unable to hear him. She dug out a pair of slippers from the corner of the house and handed them to him. She pointed to the room and urged, "Young man, don't waste time. Your clothes are soaked and you need to change them. Come on, go in and change your clothes."

Huo Chengluo silently took the slippers handed to him by his grandmother, and at the same time cast his eyes on Wen Yiyu who seemed to be watching a good show.

Wen Yiyou received his ambiguous gaze, but she interrupted him without taking it seriously, "Boss, go ahead, we'll try to dry your clothes as soon as possible!"

After a pause, she added with a smile, "But you have to hide in your room and wait obediently!"

Huo Chengluo was silent for a while, but at his grandmother's urging, he stopped refusing and walked into the room his grandmother pointed to with a towel and slippers. He closed the door, and without hesitation, he took off all his clothes, pants and shoes in a few seconds.

For a moment, he was left with only a pair of boxer briefs.

He put the towel on his shoulders and just picked up the clothes he had just changed when there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Wen Yiyou's crisp shout, "CEO, take out your wet clothes!"

Huo Chengluo handed the wet clothes out through the half-open door. Wen Yiyu took the clothes and took them directly to the stove.

Chicken soup was stewing in the old stove, and the fire was still burning slowly. Wen Yiyu sat on the bench, clumsily moved the clothes close to the stove, and slowly dried them.

Outside the room, the sound of Wen Yiyou and her grandmother's conversation came in clearly.

"Xiao You, are you two hungry? I'll make some noodles for you two."

Wen Yiyou was busy turning over Huo Chengluo's pants. She raised her voice to explain, "Grandma, that's not my husband, that's the boss, the boss..."

While looking for noodles, grandma asked cheerfully, "What is Xiaoyou talking about?"

Wen Yiyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but continued to emphasize loudly, "Grandma, that's the boss..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of lightning, followed by thunder that resounded through the sky, catching Wen Yiyou off guard and frightened her so much that she jumped up screaming while holding her clothes, "Ah..."

Huo Chengluo, who had been sitting quietly in the room, didn't care about his naked upper body. He suddenly opened the wooden door and rushed out. He took a step and strode to Wen Yiyu who was curled up in panic, "Are you scared of thunder?"

As Huo Chengluo spoke, his hands naturally covered her ears.

The summer thunder roared continuously. Wen Yiyou was still holding his clothes in her hands. She closed her eyes and nodded randomly, her voice trembling, "I'm scared, the thunder is so scary!"

Huo Chengluo knew that she had been afraid of thunder and lightning since she was a child. Thinking of this, he unconsciously held her in his arms.

With her left ear against his strong chest, he covered her right ear with one hand and patted her back with the other, whispering soothingly, "Don't be afraid, the thunder will pass soon." His movements were so natural and intimate.

The unique refreshing mint scent on the man instantly permeated her nostrils, clean and refreshing, and smelled so good that it made people feel instantly at ease and relaxed.

The strong heartbeat in her chest pierced her eardrums again and again, magically drowning out the terrible thunder.

She closed her eyes, lay quietly in his arms, waiting for the thunder to stop.

Grandma was a little worried when she saw Wen Yiyu startled by the thunder, but before she could react, the tall figure of the man rushed out like lightning.

She looked at the two people hugging each other in front of her, and a smile as big as a chrysanthemum petal bloomed on her wrinkled face.

After a moment, the lightning and thunder finally stopped, but the heavy rain outside the window was still falling.

Grandma said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, the thunder has stopped, don't be afraid, Xiao You, quickly dry the clothes for your husband to wear, and come and eat noodles!"

Grandma's voice brought Wen Yiyou back to her senses suddenly. She opened her eyes and was shocked to realize that she and the man were so close.

Although I had caught a glimpse of his figure from afar when I accidentally broke into his lounge before, at this moment the man's exposed strong chest was close at hand.

It was an extremely shocking scene for her who had just come to her senses. She felt a chill in her heart and clearly felt her face burning quickly. For a moment, she was filled with shame.

Wen Yiyou took a breath, "Huh...are you sick? Why did you run out without clothes on?"

She glanced at him for just a second before quickly looking away. She hurriedly threw her clothes at him and turned around abruptly, feeling so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Huo Chengluo took the clothes that were thrown to him with one hand. Fortunately, summer clothes are light and quick-drying, so it seemed that they had been dried to about 80%.

He narrowed his black eyes and glanced at the woman who was panicking and had her back to him. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of her red ears. A barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes, and then he turned and walked back to the room.

After getting dressed, as soon as he walked out of the room, he heard his grandmother calling enthusiastically, "Come, come, the noodles are ready, you and Xiao You should eat quickly."

Huo Chengluo smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you grandma!"

Wen Yiyu was sitting on the bench with his back to him, supporting his forehead with one elbow, holding chopsticks in the other hand with his face lowered, and was already starting to eat.

Hearing the noise, she didn't even raise her head, but continued eating noodles as usual.

Huo Chengluo raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to the seat opposite her and sat down, staring at her for a few seconds, as if trying to see something.

However, the girl just lowered her head to eat noodles and completely ignored him. He sneered silently.

He picked up his chopsticks and quietly ate the noodles. For a moment, the only sound between the two of them was the faint sound of slurping noodles.

Until Huo Chengluo's cell phone rang, breaking the silence, Huo Chengluo put down his chopsticks and answered the call. The caller was Assistant Kant.

Perhaps due to the heavy rain, the communication was a little poor. Assistant Kante's anxious voice came out from the phone intermittently and loudly, "Mr. Huo, are you all right?"

"It's okay, we have a place to hide from the rain."

"Mr. Huo, I just watched the news. This rainstorm has caused flooding in many parts of the city. Many intersections are temporarily closed to traffic. I can't go in to pick you up for the time being."

Huo Chengluo hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Then let's wait until the rain stops and the road is open."

Huo Chengluo said a few words and hung up the phone. Wen Yiyu also understood what was going on. She forgot about the embarrassment, raised her eyes, and looked at Huo Chengluo with wide eyes, "What did Assistant Kang say?"

Huo Chengluo met her curious gaze and explained: "The road is blocked by heavy rain. We can't leave for the time being."

Wen Yiyou was stunned, "Ah, this..."

Before they could finish their words, they were interrupted by their grandmother, who walked up to them, shaking her head and saying, "It's raining so hard, the road must be flooded. Xiaoyou, I'm afraid you can't leave today, so you should stay here for one night."
