Helping a stranger pick things up was just a simple act of courtesy; anyone else would’ve done the same.
Jiang Yuqing left quickly after she picked up everything from the ground.
Huo Wu slowly washed her hands and then dried them before leaving the women’s bathroom.
She had been thinking a lot during this time. Jiang Yuqing’s sudden appearance undoubtedly gave her an urgent sense of crisis. She didn’t have much time left, but she still had a lot to do. She must quickly arrange everything before the start of next year.
She selfishly hoped that her real identity would not be exposed during this time. That will be the most optimal plan.
However, she must also prepare for the worst. For example, if her identity was exposed early, she will need an alternative plan.
Regardless of whether her true identity was exposed or not, she must come up with an alternative plan for the future.
When Huo Wu returned to the hot pot restaurant, Huo Yusen was quietly waiting for her. He placed both of his hands on the table casually as he looked sideways outside the shop.
His profile was quite charming. He had long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and sexy lips.
He took off his coat and was only wearing a black sweater inside.
Even the simplest clothes made him stand out. While the black sweater looked very dull on other people, it made him look handsome wearing it.
Huo Yusen looked aloof, and he had an outstanding temperament. The strong masculine aura he had given off had attracted the attention of the young ladies in the shop. If he didn’t look so aloof and cold, then the young ladies would’ve probably come forward and asked him for his phone number.
Although the young ladies in the shop didn’t take the initiative to approach him, one of the female white-collar workers approached him. She looked around twenty-seven years old.
She clicked her long hair and sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Huo Wu. She smiled charmingly at Huo Yusen and her voice was greasily sweet as she said, “Hi, do you want to give me your phone number?”
Huo Yusen briefly glanced at her and then said, “Sorry.”
The white-collar female worker did not give up, instead, she smiled even more coquettishly and said, “Don’t be like this. Let’s become friends.” As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Yusen noticed that Huo Wu had come back.
It had been a while since he spoke a full sentence to a stranger, “You took my sister’s seat. She is back now.”
The white-collar female worker thought that Huo Yusen was merely joking around until she saw that Huo Wu was standing next to her, waiting for her to leave her seat. She hurriedly got up and left while her face turned pale and then red.
The surrounding young ladies snickered at the white-collar female worker as she rushed off.
Huo Wu also secretly chuckled in her heart.
When he saw that Huo Wu finally returned, he asked, “Why did it take so long? Are you okay?”
Huo Wu shook her head, “I’m okay. Someone spilled the contents of her bag in the bathroom, so I helped her pick them up.” Huo Wu didn’t want to dwell on what had happened earlier, so she changed the topic and said, “Brother, let’s order the food.”
The waiter handed the menus to them promptly when he noticed that they were ready to order.
The hot pot meal was very rich, Huo Wu had almost ordered all the signature dishes of the shop. Eating hot pot was one of the most pleasurable things one could do in the winter. Different types of dishes were slowly coming to a boil in the hot pot soup, exuding an attractive and delicious fragrance.
Huo Wu was sweating while she ate, but it was very refreshing. Perhaps he was affected by Huo Wu’s great appetite, Huo Yusen had also eaten a lot during this meal.
