Chapter 23 Pollen Allergy
Shi Lei asked: "Which company do you work for?"

Huo Shiyan: "Shixi Finance."

Shi Lei had never heard of Shixi Finance. He took out his mobile phone and checked Shixi Finance on the mobile APP in front of Huo Shiyan.

I saw that the list of companies held by Shixi Finance was very long, including some well-known Internet companies.

The film and television platforms include Youzi Film and Television, Litchi Film and Television, and VE Film and Television, as well as online shopping platforms Haopin and Yiyi.

The most conspicuous one is Mi Chen. Shi Xi holds 51% of Mi Chen’s shares.

Shixi Finance has only two shareholders, Huo Shiyan and Shiyi Group.

When you click on the shareholders of Shiyi Group, you’ll find that some are either surnamed Huo or Shi.

Shi Lei stood up and said, "Oh my god, the daughter of the richest woman in City A that Yuan Xi mentioned is her daughter. So it turns out she wasn't kidding?"

Huo Shiyan smiled faintly: "If she is pregnant with a daughter, then it is not a joke. The twins she is pregnant with are indeed likely to be daughters."

Huo Shiyan does not plan to let Yuan Xi have a second child. It would be best if it could be a boy and a girl.

Shi Lei: “…”

Inside the fitting room.

Chen Yuan said: "Yuan Xi, I didn't expect that your husband is really real. Your husband is so handsome!"

Liang Suisui said, "How can being handsome be used to make a living? How old is he? Where does he live? Why didn't you discuss it with us before getting married? And what kind of job do you have? Don't think that everything will be fine after getting married. You still have to pass the test of us girlfriends to get the marriage certificate."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "He is 27 years old, one year older than me, from City A, owns a Ruohu Mansion near Ruohu Lake, and is the president of Shixi Finance. Shiyi Group is his family's property, and he is the only son in the family. If we round it off, Shiyi is also his..."

Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui both widened their eyes.

Liang Suisui: "Why does Huo Shiyan like you?"

Chen Yuan: "You weren't fooled by him, were you?"

Liang Suisui: "You are pretty, but I am the Crown Prince Shi Yi, so how can there be few beautiful women around me?"

Chen Yuan: "Are you sure you have checked his assets? There are a lot of scams these days. Is he pretending to be Huo Shiyan to deceive you?"

Yuan Xi didn't mind what her two childhood friends said. Only close friends would dare to say that. After all, even she found it incredible that Huo Shiyan would marry her.

Yuan Xi: "His identity is real, but I'm not the one he's after. He has a childhood sweetheart he's loved since he was a kid, and I just happened to look like her. And I was pregnant, so we got married."

Chen Yuan said, "Stand-in? Your life lately has been too bloody, right? The real daughter of the richest man, being the stand-in for the CEO, getting married with a baby... This would have taken more than a dozen episodes to play out in a TV series at eight o'clock."

Liang Suisui looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Being a stand-in for someone? How could you tolerate that? When you were in high school, you hated reading stand-in novels the most."

Yuan Xi shrugged and said, "I was young and ignorant at that time. Huo Shiyan was handsome, young, rich and capable. Apart from treating me as a stand-in, he had no shortcomings as my husband."

Chen Yuan said: "Yes, he is handsome, rich and capable, so being a stand-in is also very attractive."

Liang Suisui asked: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if Huo Shiyan's childhood sweetheart came back?"

Yuan Xi said: "Then it's worth it for me. Where can I find someone with better genes than Huo Shiyan to give birth to a baby?"

Liang Suisui couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.

After the three of them each picked out a dress, Liang Suisui greeted a designer she was familiar with and transferred the money for renting the dress to the designer, but the designer did not accept the money and only asked them to keep the dress well.

After the three of them left, Shi Lei asked, "Do you think Huo Shiyan looks familiar?"

Liang Suisui asked, "How could we possibly be familiar with Mr. Huo?"

Yuan Xi said: "Let's go eat."

After Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui knew Huo Shiyan's identity, they didn't dare to make any jokes anymore and felt awkward during meals.

At the quiet dinner table, Liang Suisui asked, "Since Mr. Huo is from City A, has he always been in Jiangcheng? Or did he go back to City A after the Jiangcheng project was completed?"

Huo Shiyan lowered his head and looked at Yuan Xi: "Let's look at Yuan Xi. After all, Jiangcheng is the city where she grew up. Her friends are all in Jiangcheng. Let's see if she likes City A or Jiangcheng more?"

"Then will your parents allow you to stay in Jiangcheng?" Liang Suisui asked.

Huo Shiyan said: "I was raised by my grandmother, and went abroad to study when I was in junior high school. My parents probably don't care which city I live in." Liang Suisui didn't ask any more questions.

After the meal, while they were waiting for the car to arrive, Liang Suisui patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said, "I don't think he treats you as a childhood sweetheart substitute, but really likes you."

Yuan Xi was stunned. She looked at Huo Shiyan who was chatting with Shi Lei on the side. She didn't dare to ask for Huo Shiyan's love at all.

It was almost ten o'clock when Yuan Xi returned to the mansion after the dinner. He fell asleep almost immediately after taking a shower.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi's sleeping posture, then glanced at the photo of the little girl in blue on the bedside table, and hugged Yuan Xi tightly in his arms.

Yuan Xi woke up very early in the morning and saw the message from Gu Hanchen giving her a day off and asking her to go to the Chu family early to do her hair.

The homecoming banquet was in the evening. Yuan Xi had originally planned to go to the Chu family after get off work, but now she had no choice but to go in the morning. After all, Gu Hanchen let her have a day off, and she knew it was because of the Chu family.

Yuan Xi first changed into the small dress she bought last time, and then put the high-end dress she picked out yesterday into the car.

After Huo Shiyan went downstairs, he looked at Yuan Xi who was having breakfast and said, "I saw Gu Hanchen sent you a message last night saying that you didn't have to go to the company today. Why did you get up so early?"

"I can't sleep a little bit."

Yuan Xi was spinning the bird's nest with the spoon in her hand. A week had passed, and she still couldn't accept the fact that she had found her biological parents.

Huo Shiyan put his hand on Yuan Xi's shoulder and said, "Are you nervous because of the return banquet?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "A little bit."

"Just treat it as an ordinary banquet. I'll take you to the Chu family after breakfast."

"it is good."

Huo Shiyan drove the newly bought Continental and took Yuan Xi to the Chu family.

As soon as he entered the Chu family, Huo Shiyan saw the yard full of white, blue, pink and colorful roses, and frowned.

Yuan Xi sneezed violently and even covered his nose.

Chu Yan walked to the side of the car: "Sister, you really bought a Continental..."

"A-choo!" Yuan Xi sneezed loudly again.

Huo Shiyan said to Chu Yan: "Yuan Xi is allergic to a large amount of rose pollen, so remove all the roses here."

Yuan Xi: "How do you know I'm allergic? A-choo."

Huo Shiyan took out a mask from the car and put it on Yuan Xi, but did not answer Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi is indeed allergic to pollen, but her allergy is very strange. She is not allergic to all pollen. She is not allergic even to a small amount of modern rose pollen.

She would only be allergic to a large amount of modern rose pollen. She usually wouldn't come across such a large range of roses, except for the day before yesterday when Gu Hanchen prepared 999 roses for her in order to keep her in the company, which made her sneeze a few times.

Because her allergy is very special, Yuan Xi has never told anyone that she is allergic to pollen.

"This isn't a Chinese rose." Chu Yan said, "This is a rose, okay? What does being allergic to Chinese roses have to do with roses?"

Huo Shiyan: "This kind of rose is called rose in flower shops and by the public, but its scientific name is hybrid tea rose or modern rose. Yuan Xi would not be allergic to real roses, but she is allergic to too many modern roses."

"What about roses? Roses? So annoying."

Chu Yan frowned anxiously and spoke in a bad tone.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier about pollen allergies? Neither my parents nor my brother are allergic to them. Where can I find other flowers to replace the roses in the background?"

"What happened to Yanyan?"

Chu Lin came over and saw Yuan Xi wearing a mask, "Are you sick?"

Yuan Xi sniffed her itchy nose, "I'm allergic to pollen."

Chu Yan said, "Brother, what should we do now? There are only six or seven hours left until the return banquet. The guests who have traveled far away may arrive in the afternoon. It will be too late for me to find other flowers and rearrange the place."

Chu Yan looked at Yuan Xi: "Otherwise, let me hide in the room today and don't come out."
