406 Coaxed
For some reason, Huo Tian felt that Si Huan’s voice was like a cool breeze in the hot summer. When it blew on her, the heat in her body instantly decreased.
Huo Tian paused for a few seconds. When she spoke again, she no longer felt like her anger was surging. Instead, she felt a little shy from not having controlled her emotions well and was venting her bad mood on others.
Huo Tian didn’t realize the spoiled tone in her voice. She said unhappily, “I’m fine. I just felt a little annoyed just now…”
It hadn’t been long since Si Huan’s voice changed from puberty, but there was already some tolerance and steadiness in his voice as a mature man. His tone was extremely gentle. “Didn’t you go to the company’s research and development center today? Is the current project not going well? Don’t be anxious. You have to believe in your capabilities. You’re the best genius girl. If even you have fallen into an annoyed state, the entire research and development center will stop operating.”
Huo Tian was actually a girl with a little childish nature. She liked to hear other people’s praises for her very much, but she also didn’t like overly obvious bootlicking actions. After being praised by Si Huan without a trace, her mood immediately improved.
Huo Tian realized that the suppressed emotions in her heart were slowly dissipating, so she said to Si Huan awkwardly, “I’m sorry, my tone was very bad when I picked up the call at the start. I didn’t mean to throw a tantrum at you.”
Listening to the energetic voice on the other end of the line, Si Huan knew that Huo Tian had been coaxed by him. There was a smile in his voice as he said relaxedly and dotingly, “It’s okay. Everyone needs a target to vent their negative emotions without worry. I’m very willing to be your tree hole. If you have any unhappy things in the future, you can tell me. I’ll never feel impatient.”
Si Huan’s gentle voice rang out from the other end of the line. Huo Tian felt that Si Huan’s breath seemed to be ringing in her ears. His voice was like a soft feather that rubbed gently against her ear, making Huo Tian feel a numbing sensation in her back.
Huo Tian didn’t know what was wrong with her either. Logically speaking, in order to end this strange feeling, she should have hung up immediately. However, she couldn’t bear to end the call with Si Huan for the moment, so she changed the topic in a panic. “Oh right, did I not tell you the reason why I was angry just now?”
This change in topic was very stiff. Of course Si Huan could tell, but he didn’t expose Huo Tian’s trick. Instead, he said, “That’s right, I was just about to ask you.”
Huo Tian felt that the numbness that came from her body earlier had dissipated and heaved a sigh of relief. She continued this topic and complained to Si Huan, “You don’t know how overboard Dad is. I thought he would be an enlightened and democratic parent, but I didn’t expect that not long after we reunited, he exposed his feudal and authoritarian side. Do you know that he actually arranged a marriage agreement for me?! Oh my god, I don’t even dare to imagine how there can be a marriage agreement in this liberal and democratic world now!”
Huo Tian complained in a depressed tone, not knowing that Si Huan, who was on the other end of the line, had already gripped his phone tightly. His breathing had been deliberately lightened. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was suppressing his emotions, Si Huan would have definitely done something irrational in his shock and anger.
Huo Tian said angrily, “I happen to know the person who has the marriage agreement with me. We’re considered to be very good friends. If he hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that such a thing had happened. Dad has never mentioned this marriage agreement to me. I hope it’s a misunderstanding, so I’m going back to confront Dad now!”
Si Huan said without hesitation, “Where are you now? I’ll go find you and accompany you to seek affirmation from Mr. Xi!”
Huo Tian sharply noticed the change in Si Huan’s address of Xi Cheng. She didn’t kn
