Huo Yaoting looked at the teardrops that were constantly falling down from her eyes and his stifled heart seemed to no longer feel as uncomfortable as before. On the contrary, a wave of warmth rose from the tip of his heart and spread along his heart, spreading to his limbs and bones. He actually felt an indescribable sense of relief.
This was the first time, and it must be the last, that he took the initiative to tell others about his experiences.
Huo Yaoting tenderly held her tear-stained face, pointed at her abdomen, and gently wiped her tears away. But she was helpless as new tears rolled down her face every time he wiped them clean.
Sighing softly in his heart, Huo Yaoting lovingly scratched her small nose and said softly, "Xiao Xi, if you cry again, do you want me to cry with you?"
"??" Ye Xi was startled, he shook his head, pouted and said, "Hubby, scold me."
Huo Yaoting was slightly taken aback, but immediately laughed involuntarily. He extended a long arm from behind her waist and grabbed onto her small head, his thin lips heavily kissing her lips as he said: "How could I bear to do that."
"Woo woo ??" The more he said this, the more Ye Xi felt that he was wrong at the time. "No, you have to scold me, I did the wrong thing, I deserve to be scolded."
Huo Yaoting pinched her nose, "I've scolded you, and I'm the one feeling the worst."
The moment he finished speaking, Ye Xi threw herself into his embrace, filled with a thick sense of happiness and guilt, making her cry in his embrace for a long time.
Huo Yaoting was helpless against her. With the little girl's personality, she really wanted to cry, and would not be able to stop herself for a while.
But this time, Huo Yaoting's judgement was wrong, for exactly forty minutes, Ye Xi did not stop, and continued to cry non-stop.
Seeing the little girl's eyes swollen from crying, Huo Yaoting was unable to remain calm. He, who could not coax others, chose the most direct method ??
He took her in his arms and strode toward the bedroom.
When Ye Xi woke up, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Tightening the blanket, Ye Xi stared at the ceiling, his mind reeling with the story that someone had told her last night.
As he thought about it, his eyes grew hot again. Ye Xi covered his eyes, warning himself that those bad things were already in the past. In the future, she would definitely do her best to treat him well and make him happy.
With that in mind, Ye Xi got up from the bed. He did not want to sit down anymore, so he took a deep breath and opened the blanket with a blushing face to look at himself.
With just a glance, Ye Xi hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Last night, they had reached the end where they had no control over the situation. Moreover, they had no control over it ??
She went to the wardrobe and opened it, blushing.
There were still a lot of clothes inside the clothes someone bought the last time, but she knew now that these clothes were not from her mother. She must have said that on purpose because she didn't want to accept them.
With pain in his heart, Ye Xi blinked his eyes hard and took out a pair of slacks to change into.
After changing, Ye Xi went to wash up, and came out to call Gu Li. He told her that he would not go to school today, and that he would bring her soup the next day.
Walking out from the bedroom and standing in the large living room, Ye Xi also came to a realization.
She remembered that he had said that his mother had left this room, so was it here that he had personally witnessed her mother leaving?
Thinking about that, Ye Xi felt cold all over, she hugged herself, she did not dare look at him, and walked towards the door with her backpack.
However, what Ye Xi did not know was that the house that the woman lived in, including the building that she lived in, had already been bought by Huo Yaoting and razed to the ground.
And in the story Huo Yaoting was telling, it was true, false, true, he was indeed abandoned by his parents.
He had to make someone believe him without suspecting his identity. That was why he told the story of the woman selling the house.
This was what the legends said. If one didn't want others to discover a lie, they would need to use countless lies to conceal it.
Maybe Huo Yaoting did not want to lie to Ye Xi, but... " The situation was forced.
? ??
Huo's Group, CEO's Office, 4 PM.
"CEO, tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. at the Aitai Hotel, you have an appointment with President Qiao of the Joe's and Jewelry Group." The secretary respectfully reminded him of Huo Yaoting's arrival the next day, but he did not leave as usual. Instead, he looked at Huo Yaoting with hesitation.
"Is there something else?" Huo Yaoting did not even raise his head, his voice was cold and impatient.
"Yes, CEO." The secretary was trembling with fear.
Huo Yaoting then raised his gaze from the document to look at her, his thin lips puckering up, his face filled with dignity, not allowing others to say anything.
The secretary's heart trembled, bowed his head and quickly said, "Reporting to the CEO, just now the receptionist received a person who claims to be you, it's you ??" Mother's lady. However, because the other party's identity couldn't be confirmed and because he didn't have an appointment, the front desk didn't dare to let her in. "
The secretary said, his legs shaking.
In the years he had worked at Huo's, the mother of the CEO had never appeared. In fact, this CEO had never even mentioned anything about his mother.
But now, someone claimed to be his mother ?? Credibility does not seem to be high.
He took a deep breath, terrified!
Would the CEO think that she was stupid?
You can't even see something so obvious, and you still dare to come and tell me?
The secretary was perturbed and could not help but peek at Huo Yaoting from the corner of his eyes.
Huo Yaoting seemed to be startled, but immediately after, his eyes darkened as profound ice instantly covered his face and his thin lips tightened. The fingers that were holding onto the document suddenly tightened.
The secretary's shoulder shook in despair. He thought to himself, I'm finished, I'm really doomed.
Would this CEO really let her eat him in a fit of anger?!
The secretary could not stand still. Cold sweat ran down his back, and his clothes were about to be drenched in sweat!
Suddenly, this CEO opened his mouth. Although his voice was calm, it was enough to be cold and resolute, "Tell the front desk that the CEO's mother is dead. If there is a next time someone impersonates, kick them out!"
"..." "Yes, CEO." The secretary was stu
ed for a moment, and seeing that he had no intention of pursuing the matter, he quickly replied. Then, he turned around and ran away.
When the secretary left, the entire office fell into a state of silence.
Huo Yaoting sat on the main seat as his brows deeply furrowed. Her thin lips were pursed into an ice-cold straight line and her pair of eyes surged with darkness as she stared at the door of the office with an unfathomable gaze.
After sitting like this for an unknown period of time, he suddenly stood up, picked up the black suit on his chair and the car keys on his desk, and strode outside.
