Chapter 411: 411, cherish Mr. Huo well.
Bai Ruwei smiled, “Wanwan, ever since I came to Nancheng, you’re the only one who hasn’t looked down on me, hasn’t hit me, or cursed at me.
On the contrary, you’ve cared for me, helped me, and even saved me several times. I’m really grateful to you.
Yes, I’m a country girl and my family’s situation is very poor, but I relied on my own efforts to get admitted into Nancheng University.
My tuition fees have all been earned penny by penny by working part-time.
Are country people not human?
Since we’re human, we should be equals. On what basis do they look down on me?
Were their ancestors born nobles?
Were they all rich?
I work so hard every day, I clean myself meticulously, but they still isolate me, think I’m dirty, think I’m smelly, think I have lice…”
She took a deep breath, “So, I must strive harder to make my life better.
They may look down on me today, but one day, I want them to see me in a new light! Just like you.”
Bai Ruwei looked at Su Wanwan, “Huo Jingshen treats you very well, you two are so lucky.
I was there when you accepted Huo Jingshen’s proposal at the Su family. Changing one’s destiny can be that simple, you can do it, I believe I can too.”
SuWanwan,
“Cherish Huo Jingshen, Wanwan, he is truly a rare good man.”
After saying this, Bai Ruwei left with a smile.

The next morning, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen drove back to Nancheng.
Throughout the morning, Su Wanwan had been lethargic in the backseat.
Fu Ziyang furrowed his small eyebrows, “Is Auntie this tired?”
Huo Jingshen faintly smiled, “Your Auntie was exhausted last night, Ziyang, reduce the volume on your phone, don’t disturb Auntie’s sleep.”
“Okay.” Fu Ziyang obediently nodded, turning the volume on his phone to the lowest.
But now he couldn’t send voice messages to Shi Luoluo…

In another car, Shi Huan couldn’t help but yawn.
“Why isn’t Fu Ziyang replying to the messages?”
Shi Huan spoke, “Luoluo, no playing with the phone in the car.”
“Okay then.” Shi Luoluo had no choice but to put her phone away, “Huanhuan, what are we going to eat for lunch?”
Is this child thinking about what to eat for lunch just after breakfast?
Just as expected…
“I want to eat Huanhuan’s curry chicken.”
Shi Huan smiled, “Then we’ll go to the supermarket together later.”
He initially thought they would only return to Nancheng tonight and had applied for a three-day leave from Chu Shao. This was perfect, a brief respite allowing him to make her favorite dish.
“That’s great.” Shi Luoluo clapped her little hands.
Huanhuan is the best cook, but he’s always too busy to prepare meals for her.

When they returned to the city, Little Luoluo was propped up against the window when she suddenly pointed out, “Huanhuan, Princess Stilla!”
The most recent hit Disney animation from America, featuring Shi Luoluo’s favorite female character.
Shi Huan took a glance and swiftly turned the car around.
“Huanhuan, are we going to the supermarket?” There was a supermarket on the ground floor of the mall.
“Mhm, can we also buy you Princess Stilla?”
“Really?”
Shi Luoluo wanted it too but felt embarrassed to ask; after all, these things cost money.
Though a child, she knew it was inappropriate to always ask others for things.
But, Huanhuan always took the initiative to buy things for her…
The two entered the crowd-filled mall since it was the weekend.
Shi Huan thought that the toy would be on the first floor in the children’s toys section, but he couldn’t find it anywhere.
So, he headed downstairs with Shi Luoluo.
While wandering around aimlessly…
“Secretary Shi?”
Shi Huan turned around to look and nodded with a smile, “Lawyer Lu.”
Lu Chenyu looked at him, then at Shi Luoluo, and with a stoic face, said nothing.
Shi Luoluo tilted her little face, looking into his eyes.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds…
The atmosphere was strangely silent.
In the end, it was Shi Huan who spoke, “Lawyer Lu, we’ll be going first.”
He just turned to leave with Shi Luoluo when…
“Stop!”
Shi Huan was startled, “Lawyer Lu, is there anything else?”
Lu Chenyu looked at her expressionlessly, his lips parting, “Your shoe.”
“Huh?”
Lu Chenyu’s gaze lowered.
Shi Huan quickly did the same and found that her shoelace was untied.
Awkward.
“Thank you.”
Without uttering a word, Lu Chenyu left with an expressionless face.
Shi Huan: “…”
Only a man like Lawyer Lu would come shopping alone at a mall.
After quickly tying her shoelaces, Shi Huan asked a service representative and finally managed to buy the doll she wanted.
While they were at it, they decided to go to the supermarket on the ground floor to buy groceries.
Little did they expect to bump into Lu Chenyu in the fresh produce section of the first floor.
He was pushing a cart filled with various ingredients, looking very much like the ideal domestic man.
Shi Huan nodded at him and began selecting chicken.
Little Luoluo chattered at his side, “Curry, Huanhuan, remember to buy curry.”
“Okay.”
