"Why has the lady come?"

"Um. Where is the young master?" It was Su Yan’s voice.

"In the living room, oh, who is this young lady..."

"The young miss from KG Construction."

"Miss... Miss Huang?"

Jiayi stopped in her tracks as Su Yan arrived, bringing a woman along with her.

KG Construction? Miss Huang?

Right... Mother mentioned, it was arranged by Huo Tianpei for a blind date with Huo Zhenyang.

Inside the house, the servants dared not stop the lady.

Su Yan, leading Miss Huang, walked in, saw Huo Zhenyang, paused in her steps, and smiled," Zhenyang, you’re at home, perfect. See, do you remember this young lady?"

Upon seeing the divinely handsome man on the couch, Miss Huang’s heart thumped furiously. She discreetly adjusted her salon-fresh hair and tugged at her expensive designer dress.

This was her second time seeing Huo Zhenyang, having previously seen him at a blind date dinner.

She had long heard of him but hadn’t had the chance to meet him in person.

All she knew was that the eldest young master of the Huo Family had been a dominant figure in the business circle since his youth, exceptionally capable, took over the family business after returning from Europe, ventured into politics, and even held a title abroad due to maternal family connections.

When she met him at the blind date dinner, Miss Huang realized that this man made women’s hearts flutter far more than she had imagined.

Divorced, with children? That means experienced, exceptionally charming!

After the meal, Miss Huang tried to contact him again but failed to reach him. She thought Huo Zhenyang was not interested in her and was feeling down when Mrs. Huo’s call came today, suggesting she visit Disheng and spend more time with him.

Upon hearing this, Miss Huang’s mood brightened immediately, she dressed up and followed Su Yan here.

Huo Zhenyang did not even glance at Miss Huang, sitting like a cold, lifeless sculpture on the couch: "Coming over without a heads-up. What’s the matter?"

Miss Huang looked at the cold and indifferent relationship between Su Yan and Huo Zhenyang, was momentarily stunned, yet not surprised; Su Yan was the wife Huo Tianpei remarried, younger than Huo Zhenyang, and was once Huo Zhenyang’s secretary, so his indifferent reaction toward her was normal.

Moreover, Miss Huang, being a rich young lady herself, certainly understood that the relationships between stepmothers and stepsons in wealthy families aren’t great, and maintaining superficial relations was already decent.

Seeing Huo Zhenyang ignoring her, Miss Huang felt somewhat embarrassed and glanced at Su Yan.

Su Yan patted her hand, signaling her not to be nervous, looked towards Huo Zhenyang, and spoke gently: "You met Miss Huang the day before yesterday, didn’t you? Miss Huang has been wanting to see you again. You just took over the company and have been busy these few days, perhaps not having time to arrange a meet-up with Miss Huang, right? It so happens, Grandpa asked me to check on Zaizai, and I thought I’d bring Miss Huang along."

She discreetly tugged at Miss Huang’s clothes.

Miss Huang gathered her courage, stepped forward, and extended her fair hand, meeting the man’s cold, starry-night-like eyes: "Mr. Huo, we met the day before yesterday, do you remember? My dad is the owner of KG Construction, and we’ve cooperated with the Huo Family a few times. I had a great time dining with you last time."

Auntie Li’s expression changed, and she clenched her fists, unable to believe that the matchmaking had actually come to her doorstep.

This Mrs. Huo is really too much!

Huo Zhenyang still didn’t glance at Miss Huang, nor did he offer his hand.

Miss Huang’s hand hung in mid-air, paused for a few seconds, and then she awkwardly withdrew it.

Su Yan narrowed her eyes and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, guiding Miss Huang to sit down on the sofa.

Seeing that the two insisted on staying, Huo Zhenyang lazily instructed, "Auntie Li, serve the guests some tea."

Auntie Li grumbled a bit, reluctantly went to the kitchen, and upon entering, saw Jiayi standing at the door, knowing she had seen everything. She whispered quietly, "This Su Yan must have done this on purpose, deliberately bringing the young master’s matchmaking prospect here... The young master will handle it, Miss Jiayi, go upstairs; out of sight, out of mind."

Jiayi hummed in acknowledgment, calmed herself, and carried the soup out.

In the living room.

Miss Huang was trying to cozy up to Huo Zhenyang. Seeing that he was consistently ignoring her, and following a hint from Su Yan, she boldly scooted closer to him, "We didn’t get a chance to talk much last time we ate, I like swimming, fitness, traveling around the world, attending concerts, and also, since my childhood my daddy and mommy made me learn piano, my piano teacher was the French master Josephine. I heard you graduated from the University of Paris, Josephine seemed to have worked at your alma mater too, what a coincidence..."

The man furrowed his brows, seemingly uninterested, "The University of Paris, with a hundred years of history and numerous students. If that’s considered fate, then I have too many fated people."

Miss Huang stalled, then shifted the topic, "...I wonder, what does Mr. Huo usually like to do, any hobbies or interests?"

Huo Zhenyang’s lips curved in a mocking smile, "I don’t have any hobbies. Out of 365 days a year, 300 days are spent in the office, the rest over 60 days are spent on business flights. After work, it’s either seeing clients or going home. Miss Huang, the traveling and attending concerts you mentioned, I’m not interested. My only interest is in acquiring tourism companies and managing concert businesses."

A bit away, Jiayi couldn’t help but smirk.

Miss Huang was stunned, an indoor-type plus workaholic? This personality is a bit frightening, doesn’t he know how to enjoy life? Spending all his time at home after work, completely like stepping into early retirement. Wouldn’t the person living with him die of boredom?

But... such a handsome man, who cares if he can’t enjoy himself, as long as his face looks good!

She pursed her lips, continuing to lean toward the man, "With Mr. Huo’s status and identity, it’s normal to not have time for fun, obviously can’t be like other ordinary men. I heard you say after work you go home, you must be a good family man. I know you have a son, you must also be a gentle and kind daddy, beloved by children, right? I really like children too. I’ve always thought, after getting married to have three kids, two boys and one girl. What about you, how many do you plan to have?"

As she spoke, Miss Huang’s eyes softened, evidently sinking into the fantasy of her future family.

Jiayi couldn’t help but curl her lips,

This man, gentle and kind? He’s nowhere close to that

Even with Zaizai, he has the stern demeanor of a capitalist, and other children are scared when they see him; how could they like him.

While thinking this, someone spoke faintly, "Me? I don’t mind, might as well have a basketball team! However, no matter how many, they must all come from the same mother."

As he spoke these words, he also glanced meaningfully toward the kitchen, his gaze lingering significantly on Jiayi.

She met his somewhat intense gaze, her hand holding the soup shaking slightly.
