For the sake of filming, Yan Jinyi didn't use any skincare products so her cheeks had been rather rosy from the cold weather lately. Moreover, she was incredibly awkward now so it looked like she was blushing with shyness.
With an ascetic expression, Huo Xishen stood up and leaned against the window instead. Staring at Yan Jinyi with his arms folded, he said, "Darling, your estrogen is in overdrive, you can try relieving yourself."
'What's going on?'
Yan Jinyi was dumbfounded and her eyes widened in shock. 'Estrogen is in overdrive? Relieve myself?'
After giving it some brief thought, she instantly understood what he meant.
Feeling ashamed and furious, Yan Jinyi picked up a pillow behind her and hit Huo Xishen with it. "Huo Xishen, you're shameless, vicious, evil, and lewd!"
Huo Xishen caught the pillow and tossed it back to Yan Jinyi. He said with a smirk, "I was just giving you a kind reminder, Darling."
Yan Jinyi humphed coldly. 'No wonder Tang Qing always calls Doggy Huo a cunning fox. Not only is he a cunning fox, he's an absolute villain who is vicious and doesn't dare to admit to his true feelings.'
'He's a bination of a weasel and a fox.'
After setting the pillow straight, Yan Jinyi removed her jacket, lifted the blanket, and lied down on the bed in one fluid action.
Huo Xishen merely looked askance at her without saying anything else. He then turned around and took out the puter bag that Assistant Wen had just delivered to him. After placing his laptop on the table, he took out a small black electronic device and plugged it into his puter. He then started working diligently.
It was very quiet in the room so the sounds of his fingers clicking against the keyboard could be heard. Unable to stand it any longer, Yan Jinyi finally sat up and saw that there were many documents opened on the screen of his laptop. "The Internet connection network here is so lousy, how did you manage to get connected?"
"Electronic technology research and development is one of Huo Group's core businesses."
After taking a look at the device connected to his laptop, Yan Jinyi chose not to speak up.
By the time Huo Xishen closed his laptop, it was already three in the morning. He turned around, only to realize that Yan Jinyi had surprisingly not fallen asleep yet.
She was laying flat on her back and staring at the ceiling while spacing out.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"It's too boring. Before you leave, lend me that device that strengthens the internet signal. I'm going to start rotting if I continue being deprived of watching drama."
Ever since she transmigrated to this era, she didn't have any other hobbies except binging on local television dramas.
"Darling, is it convenient for you to take two days off from work?" Huo Xishen suddenly asked.
Yan Jinyi was stunned and she squinted at his handsome face. "What are you planning to do?"
"There's a place that I'd like to take you to for some fun."
'Fun?'
Seeing how hesitant she was, Huo Xishen added, "Yuanyun City, the border between China and the neighboring country. There are diamonds and other ores to mine for." At this point, he paused before continuing, "Team No. 1 will be receiving us, are you sure you don't want to e along?"
'Diamond mining?'
Yan Jinyi instantly perked up and she agreed with glistening eyes, "Yes, we have to go. Do those diamonds belong to us?"
Huo Xishen nodded. "Yes."
"You're not trafficking them, are they? Are they illegal products?"
'Does he want to send me to be a scapegoat?'
Huo Xishen's lips twitched and he said, "No, there's a force that has been coveting it for a long time."
Yan Jinyi had an epiphany. 'Does he want me to be his bodyguard?'
However, since they were going to protect some diamond material, it would be worth it.
"Well then, I'll..."
"Go ahead and choose as you please."
Yan Jinyi was grinning widely from ear to ear. "I'll go, I'm going for sure. Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I'll . definitely get those diamond materials back safely."
Yan Jinyi was very efficient in acting in the first place. Besides, now that Huo Xishen was around, Tao Wei approved of her leave without even thinking.
In fact, he even gave her an extra day off.
