Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Do You Regret Not Having a Proposal Ceremony?
After coming out of the cinema, Xiao Shihuo kept insisting on going to KFC.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan then first took Xiao Shihuo to KFC, where he happily ate his fried chicken nuggets, burger, and cola, easily satisfied.
Xiao Shihuo, sipping his cola, said, “KFC is definitely the tastiest food in the world!”
Yuan Xi: “…”
Xiao Shihuo’s family’s kindergarten chefs were all among the top in the country, and she really didn’t understand why he would find such unhealthy fried food the tastiest in the world…
Suddenly, Yuan Xi remembered the time when Huo Shiyan, as a child, had followed them to a streetside stall for fried rice cake skewers and he too had claimed then that it was the best food in the world.
Xiao Shihuo looked at Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan and asked, “If it’s so yummy, why aren’t you guys eating?”
Yuan Xi replied, “It’s unhealthy.”
Yuan Xi wasn’t one of those energetic elites; she rarely ate such “junk food” because she really struggled to find the determination to exercise, relying purely on diet control.
And Huo Shiyan, who usually kept fit with regular exercise, definitely wouldn’t eat it either.
Having filled Xiao Shihuo’s belly, Huo Shiyan then took Yuan Xi and Xiao Shihuo to the horse stable.
The horse stable wasn’t closed even during the May Day holiday.
While Xiao Shihuo practiced horseback riding, Huo Shiyan and Yuan Xi dined in the French restaurant on the side, where they could look down and see Xiao Shihuo riding.
After cutting the steak for Yuan Xi, Huo Shiyan passed it to her.
Yuan Xi took a bite and commented, “It’s quite good.”
Huo Shiyan chuckled and asked, “Do you want to try horse riding later?”
Just as Yuan Xi was considering it, she received messages from Qi Yi and Gu Hanchen.
Mi Chen Most Handsome: “Hahaha, your Little Huohuo is simply too cute! He soared straight to the top of the trending searches on the internet.”
Yuan Xi saw the message from Qi Yi, which was also informing her that Xiao Shihuo was trending.
The video of Xiao Shihuo “scolding” Huo Shiyan as a baddie in the cinema had been captured by many passers-by and posted online.
Xiao Shihuo’s adorable, childlike charm instantly went viral all over the internet.
“Hahaha, President Huo’s inner OS: ‘Don’t blame me if you can’t ride in private jets when you grow up!'”
“Such a cool kid, I’ll wait for you to grow up, little guy.”
“Stop dreaming, the one above. This is the second young master of the Huo Family, the little prince of Shiyi Group.”
“At five or six years old, kids are even more sensible than adults. Next door’s ‘Encounter at the Peak’ is still promoting private jets, yachts, a luxurious manor with lights on 24-hours at a constant temperature, and there’s even a golf course on the estate, not to mention how much water it must waste every day. It’s outrageous that such a wasteful movie pulled in nearly 200 million on the first day alone.”
Yuan Xi noticed Huo Shiyan’s phone was also ringing. She looked at him and said, “Should we have the trending search removed? It’s not great for Xiao Shihuo’s video to be exposed, is it?”
Huo Shiyan replied, “There’s no need to remove it from trending searches; consider it free promotion for ‘Escape from Galaxy.'”
After finishing lunch, Yuan Xi followed Huo Shiyan to the stables to ride horses.
She had never ridden before and was a bit nervous the first time she got on a horse, but fortunately, the instructor was patient and guided her movements.
Xiao Shihuo, riding over, greeted her, “Sister, you look so pretty in your riding outfit.”
Yuan Xi chuckled, and after riding for about an hour, the novelty had worn off for her. After changing her clothes in the locker room, all she could think about was the stench clinging to her.
Even though the stable was clean, it couldn’t completely rid itself of the smell.
Yuan Xi just wanted to hurry home and take a shower.
After showering, she received a call from Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi had long since blacklisted Mi Yi’s number, but clearly, Mi Yi had more than one number: “Yuan Xi, what on earth do you mean? When I shoot ‘The Summit of Love,’ you make ‘Escape from Galaxy’ just to disgust me, and even buy marketing accounts to defame my movie with paid trends?”
Yuan Xi frowned and said, “The production cycle of ‘Escape from Galaxy’ is already considered short at a year, this movie began shooting and was invested in a year ago.”

“Moreover, ‘Escape from Galaxy’ has its original work, and the film has hardly changed from it. The plot criticizing the wealthy for wasting resources was already in the book when it was published ten years ago.”
“Besides, Mi Yi, does your film even need me to slander it? Isn’t it made to slander us?”
Yuan Xi didn’t watch ‘The Summit of Love,’ but it was apparent that the film, with Mi Yi as the prototype, would undoubtedly cast herself and Gu Hanchen as the villains.
On the other end of the phone, Mi Yi said, “Don’t get too pleased with yourself. Your ‘Escape from Galaxy’ will only lose a fortune. ‘The Summit of Love’ has already broken three hundred million in box office sales today, and it will only go higher from here. Your ‘Escape from Galaxy’ will be lucky to break fifty million today.”
Yuan Xi frowned and hung up the phone.
Huo Shiyuan came in and asked, “Whose call was that?”
Yuan Xi shrugged, “Mi Yi’s.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “There’s no need to answer her calls in the future.”
Huo Shiyuan grabbed a hairdryer sitting nearby, helping Yuan Xi dry her hair.
Yuan Xi let out a light sigh, “This time, Mi Yi will probably misunderstand that I’m targeting her on purpose, alas.”
Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “Just ignore her. That grasshopper won’t be hopping around after autumn.”
Yuan Xi gave Huo Shiyuan a soft smile, “This movie of theirs is also meant for money laundering, right?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “The box office sales for ‘The Summit of Love’ are very likely to break five hundred million today.”
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan, “Actually, I’m quite curious about this movie…”
Huo Shiyuan, holding Yuan Xi’s hand, said, “I’ll take you to see it tomorrow.”
After dinner, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan watched other movies in their home theater. Perhaps because of the heavy impact of ‘Escape from Galaxy,’ Yuan Xi just wanted to watch some light-hearted comedy films.
During the movie, when it came to a marriage proposal scene, Huo Shiyuan turned his head to look at Yuan Xi, “Would you feel regret if we didn’t have a proposal ceremony?”
Yuan Xi wanted to say she wouldn’t feel any regret, but afraid that Huo Shiyuan might think she didn’t love him, she said, “I guess so.”
Huo Shiyuan held Yuan Xi’s hand tighter as they continued watching the movie.
As the movie drew to a close, a couple walked into the wedding hall.
Yuan Xi said, “Every movie or TV series ends with a marriage, but it’s hard to say whether it’s a palace or a tomb. Like this movie, I don’t think the main characters will have a happy life together after marriage.”
Huo Shiyuan, feeling for Yuan Xi’s hand, said, “Xiao Xi, our ending will be a beautiful married life; I’ll be with Little Xi all my life…”
Huo Shiyuan placed Yuan Xi’s hand on his chest.
Yuan Xi could only feel her hand burning hot, her back of the hand felt Huo Shiyuan’s vigorous heartbeat. Yuan Xi leaned forward and took the initiative to kiss Huo Shiyuan’s thin lips, feeling like she was becoming increasingly unable to restrain her own lucidity.
“Little Brother.”
A simple “Little Brother” left Huo Shiyuan defenseless as he lifted Yuan Xi and returned to the room.
Since there were still four days of vacation left, and it was rare for both of them to be free for so many days, they practically stayed up all night.
When Yuan Xi woke up, it was already noon, roused by the nutritionist who was afraid Yuan Xi might be hungry and had specifically come to wake her.
Yuan Xi got up sleepily and glanced at the important messages on her phone; she saw that today’s box office sales for ‘Escape from Galaxy’ had already broken three hundred million, “Little Brother, am I seeing this correctly?”
Huo Shiyuan held Yuan Xi’s hand, his gaze dangerous, “Eat first, then call me ‘Little Brother.'”
Yuan Xi: “…”
Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “Si Chen isn’t laundering money as well, is he? How did the box office suddenly jump so much?”
