Sandalwood

After listening to Mr Chen's words, Huo Yancheng was silent for a long time and said, "Is she going?"

Mr Chen instantly understood what he meant: "I heard that the auction house also sent an invitation to the Shen family, but Miss Shen has not been out in the past month, and it is temporarily uncertain whether she will go to the auction or not."

As if thinking of something, Mr Chen whispered again: "Poor one, he must have been heartbroken, and he didn't even want to go out of the door."

Huo Yancheng's eyes glanced at him lightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

He picked up the teacup in his hand and turned it around twice before he spoke, "How are those people in the Shen family?"

Mr Chen knew that Huo Yan was asking about the Shen family's partial relatives, and he smiled: "Miss Shen saw it very clearly and let Lao Wu send it away, and she didn't touch it."

Huo Yancheng raised his eyes and said, "You are quite familiar with the housekeeper of the Shen family?"

Mr Chen hurriedly shook his head and denied: "That's not possible, he is in the Shen family, I am in the Huo family, I can't see each other once a year on weekdays, how can we be acquainted?"

Huo Yancheng lowered his head and drank tea; his expression was indifferent, and he didn't know whether he believed Mr Chen's words or not.

And the content of that text message was ignored.

So the next day, when Huo Yancheng heard the assistant in the office say that there was his courier downstairs, he was stunned for a moment before remembering the text message he saw last night.

The assistant picked up the courier and gently put it on the desk, looked at Huo Yancheng and asked if he needed to help open it. After all, I don't know who sent the courier. What if there are any dangerous items in it?

Although the probability of such a situation is very small, it has to be guarded against.

Huo Yancheng waved his hand to let the assistant out. He did not open the courier as soon as possible, but after processing all the documents at hand, he took a cutting knife to cut the tape on the courier.

Taking out the wooden brocade box inside, Huo Yancheng looked at the carton containing the brocade box, and then looked at the brocade box in his hand, he was a little silent for a while, the carved patterns on the brocade box were very exquisite, but it was packed in an ordinary carton, and if he didn't open it, he thought it was an ordinary express delivery.

Huo Yancheng opened the brocade box, but he didn't expect that there would be warm jade wrapped in red flannel cloth inside.

This piece of warm jade is the size of a palm, of high quality, and has a translucent and lushy texture, which is worth a lot at a glance.

Huo Yancheng thought to himself. This girl is willing to take such a large piece of warm jade to apologize to him.

Huo Yancheng picked up his mobile phone and flipped to the text message, and after reading it word by word, he set his eyes on the last sentence.

······Please be safe when traveling.······

He frowned slightly; what was this trying to imply to him?

Shen Mingzhu would never have imagined that she originally wanted to let Huo Yancheng pay attention to safety when she traveled silently, but she didn't expect that this was the first text message that Huo Yancheng would notice.

But Shen Mingzhu didn't know it at this time.

Two days later, Shen Mingzhu sent another text message after dinner.

"Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm Shen Mingzhu. It's a weekend in the next two days, so please pay attention to proper rest. This will help your health. please pay attention to safety when traveling."

After this message was sent, Shen Mingzhu went to take a bath, enjoying the bath, listening to music, and eating fruit. He was so happy that he had forgotten the text message.

An hour later, after Shen Mingzhu came out in a bathrobe, she didn't look at her phone, the bath time was a bit long, she was a little hot, so she went down and took a box of ice cream from the refrigerator, strawberry-flavored, sweet and icy, and the heat brought by the bath was dispelled in one bite.

It wasn't until the ice cream was finished that she saw a text message on her phone that she had received more than an hour earlier.

It's short, just one word.

"Hmm."

Nope.

Shen Mingzhu swiped the screen of her mobile phone. There were only three messages on the text message interface between her and Huo Yancheng, two of which were sent by her, and the last one was the reply sent to her by the other party.

Although it was only a short word, it was already rare to think that Huo Yancheng could take time out of his busy schedule to reply to her a message.

Thinking like this, Shen Mingzhu felt that victory was one step closer, and then Shen Mingzhu couldn't help it; she got up from the lazy sofa and hurriedly went to the collection room in slippers.

The collection room, as the name suggests, contains the private collections of several generations of the Shen family, and now they are all Shen Mingzhu's.

Anyway, it's still put, Huo Yancheng is now escorting the Shen family, he can't accept it so comfortably, he doesn't say anything, right?

In the plot, these things will be cheaper in the future. Chen Jing, a phoenix man, will be used on the blade.

Shen Mingzhu thought in her heart that she was also for the Shen family, although Huo Yancheng was looking at the grace of saving his life to help the Shen family, and he didn't let people know about it, although the original body shouldn't have known about it.

But Shen Mingzhu knows!

Her conscience told her that she couldn't be so selfish, so she thought about sending something to show her feelings.

This collection room is not small; three rooms connect it, and there are countless antique calligraphy and paintings in it.

After Shen Mingzhu came in, she went straight to the brocade box containing sandalwood, and she remembered that Huo Yancheng had symptoms of insomnia mentioned in the book.

Sandalwood has the effect of helping to sleep and calm the nerves, so it is just right to give it to him.

So the next day, when the assistant put the courier box on Mr. Huo's desk again, he was curious about who had delivered the courier to Mr. Huo, and there was no signature on it.

If it weren't for the person who sent the courier to emphasize that it was given to Mr. Huo, and there was no address for the return of the original, the assistant would have been very puzzled and would not have known how such an express was delivered.

But Mr. Huo kicked him out again, so he didn't know what was in the express box, and he didn't know who had sent it.

Huo Yancheng also didn't expect Shen Mingzhu to give him another gift, he thought that the warm jade was Shen Mingzhu's apology, but now there is a courier to send it······

At first, Huo Yancheng still wondered if he was wrong; it was not sent by Shen Mingzhu.

But when he opened the courier box and saw the familiar brocade box inside, he was silent for a moment.

When he opened the brocade box, he found that it was a piece of sandalwood ten inches long and about four inches wide, also wrapped in red velvet cloth, and he was sure that this was sent by Shen Mingzhu.

Looking at the sandalwood in his hand, Huo Yancheng was surprised, he remembered that this piece of sandalwood was auctioned at a high price by the old man of the Shen family before his death.

At that time, many people were competing for this piece of sandalwood, and there were some big families, but in the end, it was photographed by Old Man Shen.

Now this piece of sandalwood that is being fought for is so quietly in his hands.

Huo Yancheng pressed his temples; he had a headache, and he didn't know what Shen Mingzhu meant.

While texting him to pay attention to his rest, he sent him a gift.

As long as the gender of the two of them is reversed, it can be explained.

Giving gifts to the opposite sex, especially the opposite sex who are not related by blood and have little age difference, and the opposite sex who is impeccable in both appearance and family background, will be understood as a pursuit.
