Chapter 131 Believers
It was past dinner time when Hei Huomian returned to Sucong Manor. He went up to the third floor before knocking on the door of Bai Shuiru's studio. He heard a conversation between his little girl and a young woman in the room:
"We haven't talked together for a long time, good sisters. We're all working hard on our careers. So, have you thought about my suggestion before? Move out and rent with me."
"Everyone in the Hei family treats me very well, and if I move out, I still have to pay rent, utilities, and food every month..."
Even Hei Huomian, who was outside the door, felt that Bai Shuiru's reason for refusal was very perfunctory:
The inheritance that Zhong Xichu and Liao Minrou left to Bai Shuiru was at least 6 or 700 billion yuan, which is more than enough to build a nuclear power plant. Would she feel sorry for the water, electricity, and food expenses?
This little liar~!
Hei Huomian was angry but nodded and smiled with satisfaction:
However, the first reason sounds very appealing to me.
The woman in the conversation obviously shared the same opinion as Hei Huomian:
"Did you see through my plan of letting you buy a house yourself and then rent it to me at a friendly price?"
"Did the abacus beads fall all over your face? Hahaha!"
"Ahaha, yes~!" Bai Shuiru cooperated with a fake laugh, and then responded solemnly:
"Wouldn't it be reasonable for me to give you a mansion as a reward?"
"I remember your promise, so I'll keep it for now. But Shuiru, seriously, don't be upset, after all, it's still someone else's home, not yours."
"Besides, you wouldn't even blink an eye if you bought a piece of land in the city center. We women still have to be independent, and we have to protect our own pre-marital property, right..."
"Oh~! I get it!! Bai Shuiru, you're done for. You've been completely taken advantage of by Hei Huo Mian, right? You have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex..."
"It's not that I don't have it, don't talk nonsense~!" Bai Shuiru immediately blushed and denied it three times in a row.
At the same time, outside the studio, Li You appeared in response to Hei Huomian's summons and handed over a tablet computer.
Hei Huomian quickly browsed the information in the tablet and handed the computer back to the other party. Coincidentally, at this moment, Bai Shuiru's farewell was heard in the room.
Hei Huomian knocked on the door and entered. He smiled and hugged the little girl who was sitting on the chair and looked back at him shyly, and kissed her forehead and hair.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to come back late. I just had a few video conferences with people on the other side of the ocean." The man explained softly and asked carefully:
"You're not mad at me anymore?"
The little girl knew what the other party was referring to, and the blush on her cheeks that had not yet faded quickly regained its territory. She was obviously not used to the intimacy between lovers, so she shyly lowered her head to hide the upturned corners of her lips and responded softly:
"It's okay, I just happened to be cheating on her alone..." She raised her eyes and saw the man shaking his head and kissing her lovingly and helplessly, and she hurriedly explained:
"I mean, I eat to my heart's content."
Hei Huomian laughed softly, pulled the little girl up, and after he sat down in her seat, he pulled the girl into his arms and sat her on his lap, "There is something I have forgotten for a long time."
"What's the matter?" Bai Shuiru thought seriously and tried to follow his thoughts.
The man kissed her cheeks and lips for several minutes before continuing:
"As your kind-hearted boss, I haven't let you, your little assistant, punch in for work for a long time. Boss, I declare that you must do this every day from now on." Hei Huomian said as he kissed Bai Shuiru on her left and right cheeks, forehead, and lips.
The little girl blushed and couldn't help laughing, "I feel like you are making the sign of the cross when you pray."
The man held her left hand with both hands, closed his eyes devoutly and kissed her palm, watching her as if she was promising:
"I am indeed your believer."
The girl's cheeks turned redder, she pulled her hand back and tried to get up, "I was just making jewelry, it's a little dirty."
The man's arms around her did not loosen at all, staring at her eyes and smiling dotingly, his eyes accidentally glanced at the professional books on the table behind her, and he realized:
"I almost forgot one more thing."
This time Bai Shuiru didn't fall for his trick again. She struggled to get up again, but was still held tightly in the man's arms. He said half jokingly and half teasingly:
"Don't move, or I can't promise I'll just kiss you."
The little girl didn't understand what was going on until she noticed the other person's body changes. Then she realized what was going on and her whole body turned red like a cooked shrimp, emitting steam, and curled up stiffly, not moving a muscle.
Hei Huomian smiled helplessly and dotingly, pecked the little girl's cheek and coaxed:
"I'm just kidding, don't be afraid. I said I would wait until the day we officially get married."
He put his forehead against hers, and when the little girl slowly relaxed, he said:
"I'm not lying to you. I almost forgot that you were going to take the GIA exam. Come with me."
Hei Huomian led Bai Shuiru to the study room, pulled her to stand between him and the safe, and instructed:
"Remember the password well." Then he gently kissed her ear.
"This is not a good idea." Bai Shuiru had consciously closed her eyes and turned her back.
Hei Huomian used his index fingers and thumbs to help her open her eyelids, and was immediately amused by the little girl's cooperation in sticking out her tongue and cross-eyed. He hugged the little girl in his arms and led her to stand on one leg sideways, "My little sheep is really the cutest!"
"Of course~! I am the cutest person in the world~!" Bai Shuiru raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Come on, open your eyes." Hei Huomian insisted that Bai Shuiru turn around, gently pinched her index finger to press the password pad, and read out the password, "I like to see you skillfully open the safe at home. Next time, you can open it whenever you want."
A memorable, simple and easy-to-remember password is easy to see, hear and remember.
Bai Shuiru couldn't help but feel a little nervous:
"Will Mr. Black and Faye have different opinions?"
"How could that be? These are all the things they left for me and Wanwan's wife and children. You and I only need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register and get a marriage certificate on an auspicious day and time to officially get married. The things in the house are yours too."
Okay, as long as you are happy.
Bai Shuiru turned around, playfully stuck out her tongue at the man and made an "OK" gesture with her backhand.
Just because I know the password doesn't mean I will open it.
Hei Huomian took out seven or eight velvet boxes and two velvet bags, placed them on the desk and then opened them one by one.
Bai Shuiru saw the hundreds of diamonds and colored diamonds spread out on the black velvet, and her lips twitched unconsciously, "Isn't this the bag of gems you took to Zhong Jiaxuan?"
This feeling of absurdity is even stronger than when I first discovered that I was reborn as a sheep!
"Yes, is the quantity not enough?" The inhumane black chairman misunderstood the slight twitch of the little girl's lips. "I will arrange for you to go to the purchasing department for training tomorrow, or go directly to the mine at home to see the uncut raw stones."
My words came true. It turns out that I am the clown. Bai Shuiru shook her head hastily, stretched out her hand to hold Hei Huomian's hand that was about to make a call, and advised:
"No, no, no, that's enough, that's enough. Do you have a list? I can count them after I finish my studies. Otherwise, if I lose half a pill or one pill, I'll have to deduct my salary for many lifetimes to make up for it."
Hei Huomian tapped her nose lovingly and amusingly, "Who said you have to pay for it if you lost it? Even if you just lost it..." He looked at the little girl who covered her mouth with her hands.
"You are ignorant of the sufferings of the people, but I didn't know before..." Bai Shuiru remembered that he only had the memory of his original body and had never experienced it himself, so he immediately changed his words:
"It's my fault. I know you are good to me..."
Before the little girl finished speaking, the man kissed her on the lips, either lightly or deeply, using every possible means to seal her lips with a kiss, until the little girl blushed and gasped, then he stopped kissing, and could not help but pecked her nose lightly again and again, saying:
"If I don't 'punish' you, you will think that I am reluctant and can tolerate your nonsense. Hmm?"
"You are the most perfect girl in the world. Your willingness to let me have your heart and body is the greatest recognition and deepest love for me."
Bai Shuiru quickly covered her face with her hands and struggled to get off Hei Huomian's legs, "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again~!"
Hei Huomian wrapped his arms around Bai Shuiru's waist, shackled her to his legs, and quickly kissed the back of the little girl's hand, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I have something serious to tell you."
"Come, drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Bai Shuiru quickly took the cup of water handed to her by Hei Huomian, drank the water in small sips while hiding her red face, and looked up at him, "What?"
"Before I knocked on the door just now, I overheard your friend say that he wanted to share the apartment with you?"
Bai Shuiru immediately looked embarrassed and quickly turned her almond-shaped eyes around, thinking about what words to use to appease her fiancé.
Seeing this, Hei Huomian pretended to be confused and looked around the room, "Hey, how about it, which room do you like? When are you going to ask her to move in?"
Bai Shuiru coquettishly pushed the man's shoulder, "What she meant by 'renting together' is that I should move out of Sucong Manor and rent a house with her, just me and her, two girls living together~!"
"That won't do! How can my kind, gentle and upright fiancée abandon her weak, helpless and sleepless fiancée to go out and starve?"
"How can it be so exaggerated~!" Bai Shuiru stretched out her hand to pinch Hei Huomian's cheek, and then reluctantly kissed him as compensation, "Aren't you no longer suffering from insomnia?"
"My sleeping condition has only improved slightly. In fact, after you fall asleep, I will wake up suddenly and keep my eyes wide open until dawn." The man said as he took off his sunglasses and was about to show Bai Shuiru his dark circles.
"I don't believe you."
The two of them laughed and tickled for two minutes.
Hei Huomian suddenly grabbed Bai Shuiru's arms, and when their eyes met, he asked sternly:
"Your best friend is called Hao Mianmian, right?"
Bai Shuiru noticed the worry in Hei Huomian's eyes, and the suspicion and worry in her heart unconsciously rekindled. She nodded slowly and hesitantly, "...Yes, it's Hao Mianmian."
"Do you still remember that video in your USB flash drive that you showed me?" Hei Huomian's tentative tone was extremely gentle and soft, as if he was afraid that a slightly louder volume would scare away the person in his arms.
Bai Shuiru swallowed her saliva and spoke carefully:
"She has plans for me?"
Hei Huomian stretched out his hand to the side, and the security chief of Sucong Manor immediately appeared and handed over the tablet computer, and then disappeared immediately.
"Last night, a certain force tried to break into the security system of the manor. I tracked them based on the traces they left behind and the secret investigations I have had people investigate..."
Bai Shuiru lowered her eyes and looked at the photo, slightly startled. When she met Hei Huomian's gaze, she took out her cell phone and pulled up the photo of Hao Mianmian and her "boyfriend" on a date that she had encountered before.
"This is Mianmian and..." She hesitated for a moment and looked into the man's dark eyes.
"Why don't we watch that video first." Hei Huomian's gaze passed over her shoulder and fell on the computer of Bai Shuiru's original body.
Bai Shuiru turned on the computer and unsealed the video that had been deliberately ignored some time ago:
The first person who came into their sight was Bai Shuiru, who was three months old. She was taking a selfie with her mobile phone. In the camera, her forbearance, optimism and resignation were fully revealed in her gentle eyes. Her temperament was completely different from now. Hei Huomian and Bai Shuiru tacitly avoided talking about it. They just kept silent.
"Testing. This is the gift I prepared for my good friend Hao Mianmian~!" In the video, Bai Shuiru showed a silver-blue gift box in her hand to the camera of her mobile phone.
The scene in the camera changes as she walks into a certain community. "Bai Shuiru, come on! Work hard to buy a small home that doesn't have to be very big, but is warm enough!"
When Hei Huomian saw this, he unconsciously tightened Bai Shuiru's hand, which was interlocked with his. The two smiled at each other and put their foreheads together.
Having him/her by your side forever makes your home a warm and cozy one.
"We've arrived at Mianmian's house."
The doorbell in the video rang, dragging the two people's attention back to the video.
A middle-aged woman quickly opened the security door.
In the video, Bai Shuiru showed the gift box in her hand and said:
"Hello, Auntie. I want to give Mianmian a birthday surprise!"
"Okay, okay! You guys take your time and have fun. I'm going out first." Mother Hao let Bai Shuiru into the house and then went out.
In the video, Bai Shuiru walked straight into Hao Mianmian's bedroom and hid in the closet. "She replied to my message and said she was waiting for me to give her a surprise! Hehe! She doesn't know I'm waiting for her at her house yet."
After a few minutes, the sound of the security door opening, footsteps and the girl's greeting to her mother were faintly heard outside the closet.
In the video, Bai Shuiru made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered:
"As soon as she came in, I jumped out..."
Hao Mianmian's voice suddenly interrupted Bai Shuiru's mumbling:
"She won't doubt me at all! I am the best person in the world to her except her father, oh, her adoptive father."
Hao Mianmian turned on the speakerphone and started to change her clothes. "Oh~! I almost forgot, there is someone who cares about her, that brat named 'Min'. But I have sent him abroad."
