After seeing the photo, Qiao Nainai immediately beamed, "Good, good, good. It seems my arrangement was not wrong."

"Have the two of them grown closer in their relationship?" Qin Lao asked.

Qiao Nainai immediately said with some pride, "Of course. I arranged for the two of them to go to the Hot Spring Villa, and it wasn't just for them to soak in the hot springs."

Qin Lao chuckled and nodded, "Ginger is still spicier when it's old. You had plenty of mischievous ideas when you were young, and now you're even better at it than before."

"Hahahaha." After laughing for a while, Qiao Nainai turned serious, "You know the state of my health, and the state of the Qiao Family. If Mu Ting doesn't have someone by his side who knows how to care for him, once I'm gone, it will be truly too bitter for him to face those people alone."

"Xia Xia is a good child; Zhong Jiejie's judgment won't be wrong." Qin Lao also looked serious.

Having experienced a lifetime of ups and downs, the two old people still found that there were many things they could not control even after living to this day.

All they could do was to do what should be done; as for the rest, let these children walk their own paths step by step.

——

After taking the photo and completing the task.

Shu Xia immediately stood up consciously and walked back to her previous spot to sit down.

Just as Qiao Muting put his phone down, he saw Shu Xia avoiding him as if he were a plague god, finding a spot as far away from him as possible to soak, and his expression immediately turned even uglier.

An indescribable sense of irritability surged up.

Shu Xia comfortably found a good angle, rested her head, and closed her eyes contentedly, enjoying the rare moment of tranquility.

She paid absolutely no attention to Qiao Muting.

He should be wishing she would stay as far away as possible.

These were all row houses, with one villa connected to another, and each hot spring pool was separated so that they would not disturb each other.

If people were talking, as long as the surroundings were quiet, one could hear what others were saying.

A series of sounds that made one blush and heart race drifted over.

It should be from a villa one house away.

The sounds were not heard very clearly, but one could tell what was being done to produce them.

Shu Xia suddenly blushed a little.

If she were the only one here, she would just be listening to the excitement, but the awkward part was that Qiao Muting was also here.

When she opened her eyes, she happened to see Qiao Muting looking at her too.

Their eyes met.

Shu Xia only felt that Qiao Muting's expression was indescribably gloomy, and his gaze was even more terrifyingly dark.

If this situation were replaced by other young couples, they might have already been unable to hold back.

But with her and him, Shu Xia couldn't help but blush. She had been soaking for about ten minutes, and after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, her head felt a bit dizzy, so she immediately stood up: "I, I'm tired, I'll go back to rest first."

Qiao Muting stared at Shu Xia's figure as she practically fled, his eyebrows raised.

Sensing that he had been feeling some stirrings from just now until now, his brows immediately furrowed tightly.

Just as Shu Xia walked to the door, she suddenly heard a woman's coquettish cry, "President Huo, I really love you so much..."

The voice was a bit intermittent and not heard very clearly.

But she seemed to have really heard the words "President Huo".

President Huo...

Her footsteps stopped.

Recalling what Jiang Nannan said to her at the bar that day, a woman's intuition is sometimes very accurate; as someone close, one will notice some changes in a person.

Just like in her previous life, she could actually feel the changes in Fu Chenyan, but at that time, she had to donate blood frequently at the Lin Family and face the pickiness of Lin Guanda and Chen Xiuyue, so she didn't have much energy to ponder Fu Chenyan's changes.

It was also because she thought of human nature too simply.

She hadn't thought that human nature could sometimes be so ugly.

It's just that people are different from one another, and she didn't want Jiang Nannan to taste the feeling of being betrayed.

So...

Was the "President Huo" that the woman called out in the heat of passion just now the same President Huo she was thinking of?

Or was it just a coincidence?

She frowned.
