Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen held each other's gaze for a long time.

Feeling like she was playing gooseberry, Tan Sangsang took the initiative to disrupt the awkward tension at this moment. "Mr. Huo, please take a seat. What would you like to have? Dinner's on me today."

Only then did Huo Xishen sit down next to Yan Jinyi. Looking at the bowl in front of Yan Jinyi, he said, "I'll have whatever my wife is having."

"Uh..."

Tan Sangsang's smile stiffened and she saw Huo Xishen picking up a pair of chopsticks especially gracefully before wiping them meticulously with a piece of tissue paper.

"Hey, stop eating the meat, they're all for me." Yan Jinyi hurriedly interrupted him when she saw that he was about to reach his chopsticks into the bowl.

Huo Xishen picked up a slice of potato and placed it inside his mouth, after which he frowned and his ears reddened immediately.

Yan Jinyi stared at him and watched him chew slowly. Only then did she suddenly recall the fact that he seldom ate spicy foods.

She heard that he had a low tolerance for spiciness.

After giving it some thought, she decided to ask the stall owner for a glass of water but Huo Xishen had already taken a sip of milk tea from the cup in front of her.

???

"Hey, I've drunk from the same cup just now."

Feeling that the spiciness in his mouth had finally been neutralized a little, Huo Xishen answered, "I know."

"Why did you drink from it then?"

"There's no need to be saliva-conscious with my wife."

After saying that, Huo Xishen took another sip.

That the milk tea tasted much better than the "junk food" in his opinion.

Having noticed that almost all the milk tea was gone, Yan Jinyi quickly reached out to snatch the cup from him. "Hey, I haven't had enough!"

Tan Sangsang ate her food quietly while watching their "public display of affection".

'What's wrong with this world? Even the aloof Huo Xishen has started showing off his relationship with his wife.'

After dinner, Yan Jinyi patted her stomach and suggested that they go for a walk.

Huo Xishen consciously stood beside Yan Jinyi whose head was at the level of his shoulders because he was extremely tall.

Tan Sangsang walked behind both of them.

It was already dark, and the road was covered in snow that was glistening beautifully under the illumination of neon lights.

After they made a turn at the corner, there were suddenly many more cars on the road and Huo Xishen moved from Yan Jinyi's left to her right to shield her from the cars.

It was a small gesture that would almost go unnoticed. In fact, Yan Jinyi didn't even realize it but Tan Sangsang somehow found it rather heartwarming.

'Jinyi and Mr. Huo are a match made in heaven.'

She suddenly remembered Liu Yaxi claiming that there were rumors of Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen being married only in name without having any feelings for each other.

Tan Sangsang carefully whipped out her cell phone to snap a photo of the two of them from the back, which she then uploaded to Weibo.

"Tan Sangsang, speed up."

Yan Jinyi suddenly turned around and urged.

"Jinyi, Mr. Huo, you two continue with your stroll. Mu Mu is urging me to go home."

'A stroll with Huo Xishen? That'd be so boring.'

Yan Jinyi thought to herself and glanced at Huo Xishen in disdain.

"I'll call Mu Mu..."

"I'll take my leave now, have a nice walk."

Before Yan Jinyi finished, Tan Sangsang waved at her and quickly hopped into a cab.

"…"

"Darling, can't you tell?" Huo Xishen suddenly said.

Yan Jinyi asked with confusion in her eyes, "What do you mean?"

He put his hands in the pockets of his jacket and said, "Miss Tan doesn't want to play gooseberry."

"Play gooseberry?"

Yan Jinyi recalled the explanation of that phrase and quickly waved her hand. "We're brothers, what's there to mind?"

'Brothers?'

"Darling, you're my wife and you're a woman."

Yan Jinyi defended herself, "But I have a manly personality."
