Chapter 429: Chapter 429: What a gentle and jade-like young man!
After Huo Tianzun finished his bath and came out, he saw Qianxun sitting mysteriously on the sofa waiting for him.
A white towel had been hastily rubbed a few times over his head, revealing a bit of tenderness on Huo Tianzun’s sharply contoured and handsome face.
"Baby, come here," Huo Tianzun said, tossing the towel aside and speaking to Qianxun.
Qianxun stood up, then went forward and took a hair dryer from the bedside table, gesturing for Huo Tianzun to lie on her thighs so she could dry his hair.
Seeing this, Huo Tianzun’s lips curled up, and he lay down.
The next moment, the sound of the hair dryer filled the air, and neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was very warm.
Once Huo Tianzun’s hair was dry, Qianxun dropped the hair dryer and suddenly leaned down to plant a kiss on Huo Tianzun’s lips.
Yanzhi with his hair all messy was really...good enough to eat.
Huo Tianzun was stunned for a second, then took over the initiative.
By the time he returned to his senses, Qianxun’s alarm clock, set for the wee hours, went off.
Then, Qianxun struggled to reach out an arm from Huo Tianzun’s embrace, groping under the pillow.
"Yanzhi, happy birthday. Here’s your gift, open it and take a look," Qianxun said with a gentle blink.
Huo Tianzun’s body tensed at her words, then he stretched out his hand to take the small box, anticipation flickering through his deep, dark eyes.
After opening it, a smoke pink tie of substantial quality appeared before Huo Tianzun.
"See if you like it!" Qianxun said with a beaming smile.
This was the first time Huo Tianzun had worn a tie of this color. Usually, his ties were a more subdued grey, enhancing his already aloof and cold demeanor.
After picking up the tie, Huo Tianzun looked at Qianxun.
Seeing this, Qianxun took the tie and began wrapping it around Huo Tianzun’s neck.
After a short while, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "My taste is indeed infallible."
She had chosen a smoke pink from the Morandi color series. This shade was soft, and although pink, it was a sophisticated greyish pink that was not overly feminine but instead tempered Yanzhi’s cool temperament.
Moreover, Yanzhi’s complexion was exceptionally fair, so this color really suited him.
...
"Such a tender and gentle young man! Come, give your elder sister a kiss," Qianxun suddenly said, yanking on the tie and pulling Huo Tianzun’s face towards her for a kiss.
Caught off guard, Huo Tianzun received a direct peck.
For a moment, a look of indulgent helplessness flickered across his face—his baby knew how to play tricks.
But he liked it.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Huo Tianzun’s phone started ringing.
Upon answering, a gentle female voice came through, "Heavenly Venerate, today is your birthday. Come home, and Mom will celebrate it for you. Your brother is back today as well, and the temple master is here too."
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun’s brow furrowed slightly, "I know, I’ll be there."
Then, he hung up the phone.
At that moment, Qianxun opened her eyes, "Is Yanzhi going back today?"
"Yes, the White Cloud Temple master is also there, and I just happen to have something to ask him," Huo Tianzun replied.
Qianxun hummed in acknowledgment.
At that moment, Huo Tianzun got out of bed and said to Qianxun, "I can’t bring you home with me yet, but I’ll come back early today."
With that, he gently placed a kiss on Qianxun’s forehead.
Of course, he wanted to bring his baby home, but it was not yet possible.
He always had this unsettling feeling, afraid that once others discovered his baby, she would vanish from his side once again.
So for now, he wouldn’t let too many people know about her, including his own family.
The tragedy of Emperor Xia was something he refused to repeat in his own life!
