Capítulo 1063: Chapter 1064: Eat Well and See You Tonight

Huo Yishan hesitated; with Li Yuan’s father present, it was naturally inappropriate for her to accompany her.

But…

“Aunt, since Uncle is going with you, what about your illness…”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken with the Doctor, and they won’t tell them.”

“Oh, then please take care.”

Xia Ximeng smiled gently and nodded.

After breakfast, Xia Ximeng indeed left.

However, the maid she mentioned earlier never arrived by noon, leaving Huo Yishan waiting.

Seeing the clock’s hour and minute hands both pointing to twelve, Huo Yishan put down her laptop and stood up to call Li Yuan.

“Hello?” Upon picking up, a deep, gentle voice from the other end of the line was exceptionally pleasant, like a melodious tune.

“Are you busy?”

“A bit, what’s up?” Li Yuan was somewhat surprised to receive her call at that time.

Hearing him say ‘a bit’, Huo Yishan dismissed the idea of asking him out for lunch.

“I see.”

“What’s wrong?” Sensing her concern, he couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing, I just… I was thinking of joining you for lunch.” In the end, she couldn’t help but say it.

Li Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, glancing at the scenery outside the car window, long past the city center, he could only apologetically say, “Sorry, I can’t join you today. How about dinner?”

Huo Yishan suddenly felt a bit empty inside.

However, considering how busy he was every day while she had nothing to do, she figured it was unfair to ask him to take time out, so she smiled and agreed, “Okay, dinner it is!”

Li Yuan chuckled, “Alright.”

From the phone, Huo Yishan seemed to hear the honking of a car, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you in the car?”

“Yes, I’m heading somewhere, already far from the city, so I can’t come back to have lunch with you.”

Perhaps she was overthinking it, but upon hearing him say ‘heading somewhere’, Ruan Qiuting’s words from last night suddenly flashed through her mind.

Could it be that he was leaving the city to take wedding photos with Ruan Qiuting?

When the other end of the call suddenly grew quiet, Li Yuan couldn’t help but frown, “Shanshan?”

“Uh?” She snapped back to reality.

“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly go quiet?”

“Uh, nothing, nothing.”

“Then eat well, see you tonight.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Huo Yishan suddenly felt a pang of regret.

She had clearly wanted to ask him earlier, but why didn’t she? Now she was left feeling unsettled.

Oh right!

Maybe, she should call Xiaozhou?

If he was on business, Secretary Zhou would definitely accompany him. If it was personal, Xiaozhou surely wouldn’t be there!

But would doing so make her seem too petty? What if he really was on business? Then she’d be suspecting him for no reason, which would show a lack of trust, wouldn’t it?

Thinking of this, Huo Yishan ultimately gave up the idea of calling Secretary Zhou.

“Never mind, I should just go out for lunch!”

At this point, she ought to be grateful that the villa wasn’t in the suburbs. After leaving the upscale community, there was a small food street nearby, otherwise she wouldn’t have had lunch today!

Carrying a light yellow handbag, she changed her shoes and left, making sure to lock the main door and courtyard gate tightly before heading out!

However, upon returning to the villa after lunch and standing in front of the large villa doors, she found herself stunned, realizing one thing…
