Lin Xiaowan had just walked over at this time, and Little Chestnut immediately ran over to her, acting coquettishly. As soon as she bent down, Little Chestnut leaped into her arms.

When the rotund man saw Lin Xiaowan, the smile on his face widened before he said, “I’ve long heard of the Second Madam. 1 finally got to meet her. Hello!”

Lin Xiaowan was slightly overwhelmed by the other party’s enthusiasm. She hesitated, wondering if she should reach out to shake the other party’s hand. However, Little Chestnut was very big now, and it was difficult to pull her hand out at this moment. Then, she looked at Huo Zheng for help.

Huo Zheng wrapped his arm around her waist. Although he was expressionless, his gaze was gentle. He ignored the man in front of him and asked Lin Xiaowan, “Have you gone in to take a look? If there’s anything missing, get someone to send it over.”

Lin Xiaowan stroked the cat in her arms and said softly with a hint of excitement, “1 haven’t gone in yet. I’m going to follow Aunt Wu to release the fish in the pond after this.”

After that, she added, “I saw Little Chestnut run here earlier. 1 was worried she would run away so I’m going to put her in the house first.”

Perhaps women were sensitive to each other. Lin Xiaowan could tell that the young woman, who was holding the rotund man’s arm, was paying close attention to her and Huo Zheng’s simple conversation. Although the other party was quite discreet, she could still sense a hint of hostility. The other party’s gaze was similar to those who used to gossip maliciously about her in her hometown.

Lin Xiaowan was a little curious and puzzled. After all, she was certain this was her first time meeting the other party.

When Lin Xiaowan looked up, the young woman was not afraid at all. She smiled and said, filled with praise, “Your cat is really beautiful. When I’m free, can I come over and play with your cat?”

The young woman seemed to realize her words were a little abrupt after she finished speaking so she quickly added, “I have a cat too. However, it’s just an ordinary cat. It’s not as beautiful as yours. What kind of cat is this? Was it expensive when you bought it?”

The young woman spoke so much that Lin Xiaowan did not know how to respond for a moment. After a short moment, she said, “I didn’t buy it. 1 adopted it. Ordinary cats are also very beautiful. No, all cats are beautiful.”

Lin Xiaowan did not have a very good impression of the young woman due to the hostility she sensed from the other party. As such, she naturally did not want to have any further intersection with the other party if possible. It would be troublesome if the other party visited using Little Chestnut as an excuse.

Huo Zheng could tell Lin Xiaowan was unwilling. Without giving the young woman a chance to speak again, he hugged Lin Xiaowan and said gently, “Alright, you can go in first. Didn’t you say you’re going to release the fish with Aunt Wu?”

As soon as Lin Xiaowan left with Little Chestnut, his gentle aura vanished immediately, and he was back to looking aloof.

The rotund man came hoping to get the Huo Corporation to invest in his project. However, after listening for a while, Huo Zheng already found many flaws with the projects. It was definitely not a promising project. He did not want to waste his time listening to the other party anymore and said a few words to send the other party away.

The man, who wanted to cooperate with Huo Zheng, naturally had an ulterior motive. His company had suffered a loss and urgently needed investment. On the surface, the company seemed stable and prosperous, but only he and a few of his confidants knew that the company was losing money. At this rate, it would not be long before the company went under. For this reason, he was very reluctant to leave. After all, it would not be so easy for him to meet Huo Zheng again.

After listening to the young woman’s earlier words, an idea appeared in the rotund man’s mind. He quickly said, “You just moved here so I’m sure you have many things to deal with. I won’t disturb you anymore. If you don’t mind, she’ll come over and play with the cat when she has the time.”

“No need,” Huo Zheng said lightly before sending the duo away.

The man’s surname was Li, and he was known as Old Mr. Li. He knew his place and did not continue to pester Huo Zheng. After he left with Lu Yingxin, his little lover, his expression was no longer amiable like before. He shook off Lu Yingxin’s hand and warned her, “Do you want to cling to a rich and powerful person? Keep your greedy eyes away from President Huo. He’s not someone you can afford to provoke.”

The smile on Lu Yingxin’s face froze for a moment. However, she recovered quickly and reached out to hold Old Mr. Li’s hand again as though nothing happened. She said ingratiatingly, “Hubby, what are you talking about? 1 don’t understand.”

“Don’t think I don’t know about your filthy thoughts,” Old Mr. Li said with a sneer, “You also have a cat? What cat do you have? Weren’t you just trying to get closer to him?”

Lu Yingxin giggled. She did not seem to care that they were still outside as she deliberately leaned against Old Mr. Li’s body and said, “Well, I’m the cat… Doesn’t Old Mr. Li like this cat?”

Old Master Li’s breathing quickened. He tightened his hold on her and said meaningfully, “See how 1 deal with you when we get home.”

The house in Xilin Imperial Garden was big. The room with the best lighting on the first floor was used as Lin Xiaowan’s studio.

Lin Xiaowan did not have much to do after moving. After communicating with the person from The Laughing Buddha, the snack company, she devoted herself to sketching the logo.

This was the first time someone had hired Lin Xiaowan to do such a thing. As such, she was filled with enthusiasm.

The snack company initially thought the entire process would take about a month. However, from the time the first draft was submitted to the time the final draft was submitted, only two weeks had passed. Since the logo was an original work, it cost a little more.

When the other party saw the first draft, he had given Lin Xiaowan a 30% deposit. After the final draft was submitted, he readily transferred the remaining payment to her. He really liked the little monkey that Lin Xiaowan drew. Although the company was not well-off, they did not delay the payment at all.

Lin Xiaowan was very happy with the other party’s attitude. After getting paid, she called Huo Zheng excitedly.

“Huo Zheng! I made money! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!”

Lin Xiaowan could not conceal her happiness at all. Although this was not her first time getting paid, she felt as though she had just started working and had just received her first pay.

Huo Zheng happily agreed before he said, “You’re finally willing to talk to me? You’ve been holed up in the studio recently. You were even busier than me.”

Lin Xiaowan smiled sheepishly. Indeed, she had not paid much attention to Huo Zheng over the past two days. She had been focused on designing the logo. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the company would use the logo for a very long time. Even if there were changes in the future, it was likely that the changes would not be big. Hence, she was very focused when designing it, paying attention to all the details.

“What should we eat tonight?”
