Huo Wen'an looked up at her when he heard footsteps, and smiled, asking her, "Why didn't you invite me, the supervisor, to lunch?"
When he smiled, his once cold and stern face suddenly became animated, and Xu Xingguang noticed the plum blossoms swaying in the sunlight—cold yet intoxicating.
As Xu Xingguang stared at Huo Wen'an's smiling face, a thought suddenly crossed her mind: people who have a beautiful smile must hold a lot of bitterness inside.
"I heard from my classmates that there's an Aunt Su's casserole restaurant in Cangshan Town, and it's pretty good. Boss Huo, how about treating me to some casserole?" They had known each other for some time now, and although Huo Wen'an had been to her house for dinner twice, he had yet to treat her to a meal.
Huo Wen'an was taken aback for a moment before he replied, "Sure."
They walked side by side toward Aunt Su's casserole shop, under the setting sun.
