Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

He Shizhou didn't see He Linyan at first; it was Luo You, who was sitting in the shopping cart, who saw him first. After seeing him, Luo You tugged at He Shizhou's sleeve, pointed at He Linyan, and whispered to him.

"elder brother."

He Shizhou looked over and then noticed He Linyan and Huo Chengfeng walking with him. The two of them were talking and strolling around.

He Linyan's face lacked his usual warm smile, and you could even tell he seemed a little unhappy, but Huo Chengfeng next to him seemed not to notice, and took the initiative to turn his head to talk to him.

Upon seeing the two people, He Shizhou immediately pushed Luo You behind a cabinet to hide, and did not show himself.

It was just a subconscious action. He Shizhou didn't know why, but he just felt that he shouldn't be there to disturb the two of them at this moment.

In his memory, He Linyan was always gentle and reasonable. Except for the time when He Linyan's mother had just sent him to the He family when he was a child, He Shizhou saw He Linyan secretly shedding tears. Otherwise, He Linyan had always been an extremely perfect person.

After that period of time, this was the first time He Shizhou had seen He Linyan show such an obviously unhappy expression.

Even when Luo You disappeared last time and he suspected him, He Linyan remained gentle...

But today, being with Huo Chengfeng was different. He Shizhou suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

No wonder He Linyan was able to find the location of those kidnappers so quickly last time in Jiangcheng.

"Brother He Shizhou." Luo You reminded He Shizhou again when he saw that he didn't speak.

He Shizhou nodded and reached out to pat Luo You's head.

"My brother is with his friends, so we won't bother him. I'll go with you to buy some snacks first."

Luo You only told He Shizhou that he wasn't very familiar with He Linyan, and simply felt that He Linyan was quite nice.

So, since He Shizhou couldn't very well bother Luo You, she obediently nodded and was then pushed by He Shizhou to the snack area.

After picking out a bunch of snack bags, the two returned to the fresh produce section, only to find that He Linyan and Huo Chengfeng were no longer there.

At that time, Huo Chengfeng was carrying two large bags full of things and was walking side by side with He Linyan as they left the supermarket.

Huo Chengfeng's car was right next to them, and the two of them walked a few steps to the car.

"Linlin, the key is in my pocket, open the trunk."

He Linyan obediently took the key from Huo Chengfeng's pocket and opened the trunk. Huo Chengfeng put the things in and closed the door before the two of them got into the car.

He Linyan sat in the passenger seat without saying a word, just looking out the window. Huo Chengfeng would occasionally glance at him but didn't bother him.

The car hadn't been driving long when, not far from the supermarket, came the hotel where Huo Chengfeng was staying. He had a long-term suite on the top floor, which he would stay in occasionally.

The two of them took the elevator upstairs as if they knew the way well. They opened the door and closed it again before Huo Chengfeng finally put the things on the table and spoke.

"Linlin, are you blaming me for giving the Jiangcheng North Bank project to He Shizhou instead of Lu Yuan?" Huo Chengfeng wasn't one to mince words or beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point.

He Linyan suddenly came to his senses and shook his head.

"Giving it to Shi Zhou is definitely better than giving it to my uncle; Yuan Sheng can't compare to Chen Yan."

"So you're blaming me for not letting you go home today?"

He Linyan shook his head again, looked up at Huo Chengfeng, and didn't understand why he asked that question.

Huo Chengfeng took a step forward and pinched He Linyan's cheek with his cool fingertips, forcing him to raise his head.

"You probably didn't notice, but your face has been gloomy the whole way. It's been so long, and this is your attitude?"

He Linyan then realized that he had been thinking about things the whole way and seemed to have forgotten what Huo Chengfeng had just said to him.

He was a little embarrassed, but still argued in a low voice for himself.

"It hasn't been long. It's not even been a month since I stayed with you in Jiangcheng for a week." After saying that, He Linyan walked to the table to look at the groceries he had just bought, preparing to cook.

Huo Chengfeng stood still, pursing his lips.

Compared to the few times they met in the past, they are now meeting quite frequently, but he was still a little greedy, so he followed them here.

Just as she was thinking this, He Linyan, who was sitting at the table, spoke with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"How did we buy so much stuff? I was so busy picking things out that I didn't even notice. Why didn't you remind me?"

Huo Chengfeng snapped out of his daze and helped him put the things in the refrigerator while saying something.

"It's alright. I'll be staying here for a while, so you'll have to come and cook for me often if I can finish the food."

He Linyan nodded and did not refuse, but after a while he asked again.

"Why did you suddenly come here? Aren't you very busy?"

"I recently signed a contract with Chenyan, and they invited me to come and inspect the place, so I came."

At first glance, He Linyan thought there was no problem, after all, the Jiangcheng North Bank project was a big project, and it was only right to conduct an inspection. However, after a while, he still asked.

"This place isn't close to Chenyan's headquarters, isn't it inconvenient for you to live here?"

"...You've gotten used to living here, haven't you?" Huo Chengfeng replied without saying anything more.

Actually, it was just because this place was close to He Linyan's workplace, He's Company. So whenever he passed through Beicheng, he would stay here regardless of whether he saw He Linyan or not. Later, he simply booked the room long-term. When he was not there, He Linyan would occasionally come back to stay.

This time, he wanted to spend more time with He Linyan in Beicheng, so he naturally stayed here.

Although He Linyan picked the ingredients unconsciously, he still subconsciously chose the ones that Huo Chengfeng liked to eat. So he just grabbed a few things and went into the kitchen. After a while, a man who had changed into a set of home clothes also came in to help.

He Linyan tiptoed slightly to put an apron on him, and the two of them busied themselves in the kitchen.

Although it was said that He Linyan was in charge of cooking, it was Huo Chengfeng who prepared the dishes for him; he was only responsible for stir-frying them.

It has to be said that cooking is a skill that depends on talent. Huo Chengfeng has never cooked before, but after helping He Linyan chop vegetables a few times recently, his knife skills have become quite good.

Every time He Linyan specified what shape to cut it into, Huo Chengfeng could cut it before he needed it.

While cooking, He Linyan turned around and saw the man next to her meticulously chopping vegetables with a cold face. In a daze, she thought of him when he was a child.

At that time, he was still living in the working-class area of ​​Jiangcheng. His mother worked as a part-time worker for the Huo family, and he would go with her on weekends. Occasionally, he would see Huo Chengfeng sitting at his desk doing his homework, with a cold face and no expression.

He Linyan suffered a lot of bullying when he was a child. Although Huo Chengfeng never gave him a kind look, he felt that Huo Chengfeng did not despise him. So even if Huo Chengfeng had a cold face, He Linyan was not afraid of him.

"What are you standing there for? Cook." Huo Chengfeng finished preparing everything, turned around and saw He Linyan staring at him blankly, and reminded him.

He Linyan snapped out of his daze, took the things, and put them aside.

Huo Chengfeng leaned over to take a look at the food in the pot, then took off his apron and left the kitchen.

Even though he didn't cook himself, he still felt like he smelled of cooking oil when he entered the kitchen, so he went to take a shower and change clothes with some disgust.

He was a bit of a germaphobe; if he didn't think He Linyan would get tired working in the kitchen by himself, he would never step into the kitchen while cooking.

The day after He Shizhou returned from Jiangcheng, he was late for work again.

It was almost ten o'clock when he arrived at the company with the little guy whose eyes were still a bit red. Fu Yan'an had been waiting for him for a long time, but Luo You was still lying in his arms and didn't want to leave, so he could only ask Wen Feng to give the contract to Fu Yan'an first.

The two of them were supposed to get up at seven in the morning, but the little guy didn't get up. They were used to being late, and He Shizhou knew that he had been abstaining from sex for so long and that he had exhausted the little guy this time, so he didn't force him and let him sleep until eight o'clock.

The breakfast He Shizhou had prepared was getting cold, and he couldn't be too late for work, so he forcibly dragged the person out of bed.

But Luo You seemed unusually sleepy and delicate today. After being woken up by He Shizhou, she started crying.

He Shizhou wanted to keep him at home to continue sleeping, but he refused. He couldn't sleep and even threw a tantrum. He Shizhou finally managed to coax him until nine o'clock.

The breakfast he had prepared had gone cold, so He Shizhou drove him to a steamed bun shop next to He's that Luo You liked to eat. He let him finish eating in the car, and by the time he brought him to the company, it was almost ten o'clock.

The little guy seemed a bit off this time he came back. He was more emotionally sensitive, spoiled, and prone to crying. He Shizhou could sense it, but he also felt that it was because he had been away on business for too long, and it was understandable that the little guy was a bit dependent on him.

The two stayed in He Shizhou's office for a while longer. Luo You started to feel sleepy, so He Shizhou took him to his lounge and coaxed him back to sleep before he could go about his own business.

Not long after, Fu Yan'an came to knock on the door with the contract he had read.

After entering the room, he raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at He Shizhou.

"Where's your new assistant? Didn't she come to work today?"

Although Luo You was He Shizhou's personal assistant, he was the most proactive person in the company. He could be seen running around every day, so Fu Yan'an was a little surprised that his desk was empty this time.

He Shizhou raised his chin and pointed to his lounge.

"He's asleep inside, keep your voice down so you don't wake him."

Fu Yan'an nodded in surprise, said nothing more, and placed the contract on the table.

"The contract is finalized, but the company still needs to send someone to Jiangcheng to personally oversee the construction. Are you planning to go?"

He Shizhou shook his head without even thinking.

"I don't have much experience in this area, so you can find a suitable person to go there."

Fu Yan'an was not surprised. He had expected He Shizhou would not go. He only came to ask because He Shizhou had personally negotiated the matter.

"Okay, let me see," Fu Yan'an agreed, then paused and suddenly spoke again, "My family contacted me a few days ago... saying that your mother called my mother and said that you are preparing to get married and have a few more children."

He Shizhou was taken aback and looked at Fu Yan'an with some surprise, not quite understanding for a moment.

Fu Yan'an chuckled helplessly a few times and rubbed his forehead.

"Because of your bad idea, our two families haven't been in contact for years. Now your mother probably thinks you've settled down and I'm still clinging to you. My mother was heartbroken when she found out, and she's been trying to set me up on blind dates these past few days." Fu Yan'an said with a hint of helplessness.

She shouldn't have agreed to do this for He Shizhou in the first place. Now it's gotten to the point where both families are involved, and she doesn't know how this will end.

"...My mom met Youyou once. Before that, she thought Youyou was a girl. She misunderstood because he was wearing women's clothes. Maybe she thinks I've turned over a new leaf and is urging me to bring Youyou home." He Shizhou also had a terrible headache. His mom had been pressuring him a lot lately. She had called him several times when he was in Jiangcheng.

He Shizhou said he was in Jiangcheng, but his mother insisted on getting Luo You's phone number, saying she was afraid he would be bored at home and wanted to take him to the old house to stay for a few days.

In the end, it was He Shizhou who said that Luo You was shy and afraid of people, and that's when they gave up. They didn't expect that the Fu family would find out about it.

"You'll have to deal with this on your own. I'll try to find an opportunity to tell my mom about it as soon as possible."

Fu Yan'an could only nod: "I know, I'm just afraid my family will think you've fallen for someone else and cause you trouble."

"It's my fault, I'm going to miss out on your dowry." He Shizhou suppressed a laugh and agreed.

Fu Yan'an glared at He Shizhou, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

The Fu family has lived abroad for many years and is open-minded. His family has already accepted his sexual orientation, so they don't say anything. They even thought he was a girl before he was born. Fu Yan'an was also beautiful from a young age. His mother even wore a skirt with him when he was little, so it's rare that he didn't turn out badly.

"He Shizhou, you're talking about the dowry. I'll come to your house right now and confess. You've been using me as a shield all these years."

He Shizhou obviously thought of Fu Yan'an being forced to wear a skirt when he was a child, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"An'an, how much was your dowry again?" He Shizhou asked deliberately.

Enraged, Fu Yan'an picked up the contract and threw it at He Shizhou.

He Shizhou was hit, but then he thought of the little guy in the lounge and finally managed to suppress his laughter.

Just then, He Shizhou's phone rang. He glanced at the flashing contact name, then put on a helpless expression. Fu Yan'an, on the other hand, left with a hint of schadenfreude.
