After all, Huo Qiran couldn't determine anything. He didn't mention any topics about Jingli in the group. He only asked Jingli whether to take Xixi to see the candy on weekends.

Jingli didn't see the message he sent after get off work. At that time, she subconsciously reacted that she was regretful.

Unfortunately, she has a lot of work arrangements every day. Even on weekends, she can’t spend more time with Xixi, and she can’t take Xixi to his house to play with Candy.

Even when she saw his proposal, she was already...heartbroken.

Her fingers skillfully tapped the four words "Sorry" on the screen, but at the end, she couldn't send it out for a long time.

After hesitating for a long time, she did not reply, but hurried back home.

She went home late that day. When she got home, her aunt had already fallen asleep. Only her uncle was still holding her and thrusting. Xixi, who was about to sleep, walked back and forth gently in the living room.

As soon as she saw her, Xiang Mingguang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "You are back? You have been crying and wanting to find you..."

Jing Li quickly reached out to take Xixi. Xixi was already so sleepy that she was so sleepy that she still hugged her tightly, and then she fell asleep with peace of mind.

Jing Li gently touched his head with some guilt, and then looked at Xiang Mingguang, "Thank you uncle, you should go to bed early too."

Xiang Mingguang nodded and returned to his room, and Jing Li took Xixi back to the room.

When she returned to the room, she tried to put Xixi down, but Xixi hugged her tightly, and even though she was already asleep, she still refused to let go.

Jingli had no choice but to hold her and sit for a while.

After a while of consciousness, she suddenly remembered something, took out her cell phone, and opened Huo Qiran's dialog box again.

"Sorry, I got home just now."

Huo Qiran's news came back soon: "It's so late? Where is Xixi? Have you fallen asleep?"

"Well, I fell asleep. Today I don't have to tell her a story!"

Huo Qiran: "I didn't think this was a chore."

At this moment, Xixi moved in her arms. Jing Li quickly patted her back and comforted her for a while, and then looked at her phone again.

She did not respond to his topic about the weekend invitation, so he did not ask again.

Although the two of them met again not long ago and there were not many topics, Huo Qiran was really polite and restrained in some aspects.

Some politeness and restraint brings alienation, while what he brings is irony.

After a long time, Jing Li finally typed another line of words: "If I brought Xixi to find candy on Sunday afternoon, would it be too disturbing?"

Huo Qiran quickly responded—

“Welcome.”

...

Jingli turned down his work on Sunday afternoon.

At noon, she got home and received Xixi. She went to the hospital to stay with her mother for nearly two hours. Then she picked some gifts from a nearby store and took Xixi to the address given by Huo Qiran.

Unexpectedly, the address given by Huo Qiran turned out to be an intersection. Jing Li took Xixi off the bus. Not far away, he saw Huo Qiran at the corner of the street.

There are very few passengers in the intersection where he is standing, and he is tall and tall. Even if he is just simple work shorts and shirt, he can still wear something that others don’t have.

Jing Li couldn't help but pause slightly, and then he quickly stepped forward at Xixi's urging.

Huo Qiran soon saw her and waved to her from afar.

"Dad!" Xixi suddenly shouted when she saw him.

"I told you that it's not dad, I want to call you brother." Jingli said to her while walking forward, "Remember?"

Xixi has been repeatedly educated many times in the past few days, and finally nodded and murmured: "Brother..."

When she got closer and when Huo Qiran reached out to hug her, she finally shouted obediently: "Brother."

Huo Qiran didn't seem to have expected to hear this title. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, turned to look at Jing Li, "Why are you coming from there? I've said I'll pick you up."

It was a little hot, and he had been standing here for a while. He felt a little sweaty in his hair, but his eyebrows became dark and black. When he smiled, he seemed to have even become gentle in the surrounding heat waves.

"We came by the bus after checking the map." Jing Li pursed her lips and laughed.

"I've said I'll go over and pick you up." Huo Qiran said as he reached out and opened the car door, "Save it to the sun on this stretch of the road. Get in the car first."

Jing Li didn't expect to take the bus, but he still obediently took it. At the end, he said, "It's not too hot."

When the car started and drove towards the road in front of him, Jingli knew why he still had to take a car.

This is a private road, which should only lead to the Huo family mansion.

A few minutes later, her conjecture was confirmed.

The Huo family is a well-known family in Tongcheng. It is not surprising that they live in such a large mansion.

Xixi felt it was strange, so she lay on the car window and saw it from the beginning and finally commented: "So beautiful!"

"Yes, it's so beautiful!" Jing Li agreed with her and reached out to tell her the plants in the manor.

Huo Qiran looked at his aunt and nephew from the rearview mirror and looked out the window, feeling relieved inexplicably.

When he got off the bus, Jing Li suddenly remembered that he had brought a gift. He quickly took the gift bag that he almost forgot in Huo Qiran's car and handed it to him, "I'm so arrogant and I don't know what to bring, so I picked a box of candies at will..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused uncontrollably, and then laughed again: "Didn't you say you have a sister? Maybe she will like it."

Huo Qiran didn't expect that she would bring something. She took a look at the store name printed on the packaging bag and felt that this box shouldn't be too cheap.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel suffocated again. He smiled on the surface and took the bag in her hand, "She will definitely like it."

He helped to hold Xixi and lead Jingli into the house.

There was no one else in the room, only a little puppy, rubbing down the stairs little by little.

Xixi, who had seen the photo, recognized it all at once and said in surprise: "Candy!"

Huo Qiran put Xixi down, and Xixi immediately ran happily towards the direction of the stairs.

At this moment, Candy seemed to recognize Jingli, and after whining twice, he suddenly accelerated his pace to go downstairs.

Jing Li couldn't help but take two steps forward, and hugged Xixi and Candy at the same time at the entrance of the stairs, "hello, Candy, we're meeting again! Do you still remember me?"

Candy whined again, obviously I still remember it, so she stuck out her tongue and started licking Jingli's palm.

Xixi was so happy to see that she couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh.

Jing Li was afraid of itch and couldn't help but shrink back, but suddenly he couldn't control the center. When he was about to fall, Huo Qiran helped her from behind.
