She had beautiful features, and with the careful care that she had taken of her looks during this time, she was even more pretty than before.
In particular, there was an unprecedented confidence and pride between her eyebrows.
She hoped that nothing would change her current self.
The car went all the way forward and stopped only when it reached the entrance of the hotel in Tong City that was dedicated to receiving VIPs.
Yan Jinyi was in a daze when she was woken up by Huo Xishen, after which anger surged within her.
She opened her eyes and was about to lose her temper when sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead.
Huo Xishen merely planted a gentle kiss on her forehead before taking her hand to pull her away from the car.
“You’re still sleepy, huh?”
“Yeah.” Her voice was muffled and clearly nasally.
Huo Xishen tightened his grip on her and said, “We’ll go home after dinner and you can get some rest. We’ll then go to the cemetery tomorrow. How does that sound?”
“Alright.”
Under the lead of the hotel manager, the two of them went all the way to the top floor before stopping.
It was full of luxuriously designed private rooms.
“Mr. Huo, please come in.”
Only then did Huo Xishen loosen his grip and put his arm around her waist. “Darling, go in.”
Yan Jinyi knew that the mayor of Tong City was inside.
At the end of the day, she was someone who had even met the emperor before. Facing the authoritative mayor, Yan Jinyi did not feel any pressure at all.
After greeting him politely, she proceeded to take a seat with Huo Xishen.
The meal on the table was prepared according to the standards of a state banquet, so the level of exquisiteness and sophistication could be imagined.
“I really didn’t expect Xishen to be married to such a beautiful wife.”
“It’s my fortune.” Huo Xishen said in a deep voice, “Mayor He, you have governed Tong City very well. My wife had bee complimenting it throughout the entire journey here from the city.”
“It’s all the work of the masses. The people of Tong City are simple, and I’m glad to be here to bring everyone benefits.”
The two of them exchanged some polite words and pleasantries. Yan Jinyi began to get a little bored but she was sitting opposite the mayor of a city after all and she couldn’t possibly fiddle with her phone at this moment!
The purpose of Huo Xishen’s trip time was to build an amusement park in Tong City.
Not only that, he even made plans for the surrounding area. Since the government of Tong City was now focusing on developing the tourism industry and the amusement park site was set to be next to the scenic spot, the combination of the two will certainly attract more people.
It was a large-scale project and it was no wonder that even Mayor He wanted to meet him despite his busy schedule.
The food was delicious, and Yan Jinyi didn’t dare to be too aggressive with eating, for fear that she would seem disrespectful. Hence, she merely ate a little bit of each dish and began spacing out while remaining seated silently on the chair.
After some time, the conversation finally ended and she regained her vitality after Mayor He left.
“Mr. Huo, you don’t need to ask me along for such meals in the future. I would rather listen to Huo Zihang sing lullabies!”
Speaking of which, she quite admired Huo Zihang.
He managed the Huo Group’s entertainment business but he had no talent of his own, and when he sings, he would sound like a monk reciting scriptures.
Others’ singing may be lethal but Huo Zihang’s wasn’t that exaggerated. His singing could purify people.
Yan Jinyi always felt that Huo Zihang’s rapping sounded like the chanting of the ‘Great Compassion Mantra’.
“Darling, have you eaten enough?”
“Sort of. The food is delicious.”
“If you like them, we can have the chefs at home cook it for you.”
The Huo family’s chef had excellent culinary skills so Yan Jinyi wasn’t surprised that he’d be able to whip up a feast.
“How much do you have to pay for this project?”
“Five billion.”
‘Five…five billion?’
Yan Jinyi widened her eyes in shock. “Are you paying for everything?”
Huo Xishen looked at her and nodded especially solemnly.
‘Damn!’
“If you have money to build an amusement park, why don’t you have money to invest in my Black Clouds Fortress?”
There were way too few hunks who could fight, excel in academics, and berate others.
Even if he didn’t want to invest money in Black Clouds Fortress, he could at least invest on training the Huo family’s escort team!
