Until the car stopped at the Ye Family Apartment building, the two of them had a tacit understanding to not speak anymore.
After getting off the car, Ye Xi watched as Protector drove the car away, then said softly, "Hubby, I'm here."
"Mm, let's go in." Huo Yaoting's voice was lazy and hoarse, as if he was a little drunk.
Ye Xi frowned, "Hubby, do you know how to drink a bit less?"
"Heh ?" Huo Yaoting laughed, "Alright, I will listen to my wife."
Ye Xi's ears flushed red, he muttered: "Then I'm hanging up?"
"..." "Right."
Ye Xi still did not hang up, with one hand holding his phone and the other holding his insulated box, he walked towards the apartment.
"Not hanging up?"
Ye Xi pursed her lips, "Mn. You can hang up first. "
"?" After a moment of silence, he asked, "Still outside?"
Ye Xi looked at the elevator in front of him, "There's no more, we're at the elevator."
"Yes."
"Yes," he said.
Following that, Ye Xi heard the sound of chairs moving and light footsteps coming from the other side of the phone.
"Hubby, what are you doing?" Ye Xi asked curiously.
"Nope." Huo Yaoting said.
"Oh." Ye Xi replied softly.
Then the elevator clanged open in front of her.
"Go up first. Your husband will call you later." Huo Yaoting also heard the sound of the elevator opening as he considerately asked.
I heard him say he'd call her later.
The corner of Ye Xi's mouth hooked up, "Mmm."
He then put away the phone and walked towards the elevator.
River City, New Testament Hotel, Diamond Suite.
The man, dressed in a clean white shirt and simple black trousers, stood in front of the ink-black French window, holding a lighted cigarette between his fingers.
Beautiful smoke rings emerged from her thin lips and nose, spiraling in the air like greyish dragons.
His other hand was leisurely rotating the black phone in his hand. His posture was elegant, his entire body was noble and cold.
The sound of the hotel door opening came from behind.
The man didn't turn around, but merely stuck the tip of his cigarette between his lips. In his elegance, there was also a hint of a thug.
"Yes." Huo Chengshang's face was solemn, but his eyes revealed a hint of gentleness.
The man's expression did not change. He took a drag from his cigarette and caught it between his fingers. Then, he pressed the tip between his fingers and cut the cigarette into two pieces.
He turned around and strode into the room.
Huo Chengshang explained himself, "Since Chu Lingtian left B City twenty years ago to come to F City, he has been doing great things in F City. Currently, in all areas of F City, there is no exception for us to avoid Chu Lingtian, but at the same time, Chu Lingtian's ruthless methods have also created many enemies. "
Pausing for a moment, Huo Chengshang continued, "From what I see, Chu Lingtian has already moved the majority of his forces from the B City to the city, there is absolutely no need to tie him up here! Furthermore, even if we have to tie them up, it would not be so easy for us to find and rescue them. "
"Thus, my guess is that the person who kidnapped this person is someone else."
"Are you saying that Chu Lingtian's enemy is holding a grudge against him, kidnapped him, and intentionally let him mislead us so that we think he is the culprit?" Huo Yaoting sat on the sofa and glanced at Huo Chengshang.
Huo Chengshang pursed his lips, thought for a while, then nodded.
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, his voice was bone-chilling cold, "Regardless of Chu Lingtian, or anyone else, we must pull him out in the shortest time possible!"
"I know." Huo Chengshang nodded.
"How is she?" Huo Yaoting asked indifferently.
"I've taken too much knockout drugs, I'm still in a coma." Huo Chengshang was living on his sofa as she looked at Xiao Leng's face from the side. "With the cold wind around, there will be no problem."
Huo Yaoting frowned slightly, "How is Uncle Lan doing?"
"Uncle Lan knows that she is fine, and her emotions have recovered quite a bit. Second Brother can rest assured by accompanying Uncle Lan." Huo Chengshang's voice turned soft.
Huo Yaoting did not speak anymore, the black phone in his hand was lit up by him as he stared at it.
Without saying anything, he walked towards the bedroom of the hotel suite.
Huo Chengshang looked at him, her eagle-eyes softening.
When the bedroom door closed, he slowly got up and left the room.
Ye Xi walked to the door of the apartment, took out the key and opened the door, and then entered the room and closed the door, turning on the light and changing his shoes.
Then he threw the bag on the sofa.
He carried the heat preservation box into the kitchen, opened it and took out the dishes inside.
He walked to the fridge and opened it. There was still some leftover cold food inside, so he brought it out.
He heated up the dishes and the rice.
When it was warm, she set it on the dining room table.
He took out a bowl and chopsticks and placed them on the table.
This was why he went to the main bedroom to find Xu Qiu.
Since she was young, had never locked his bedroom door, because he was worried that Ye Xi would wake up in the middle of the night and look for her.
Ye Xi opened the door to the master bedroom. Inside was a pitch black room. Moonlight shone through the window onto the bed, but it was completely empty.
Ye Xi was shocked.
She ran to the guest room and the storeroom, but there was no sign of her.
Ye Xi's eyes flashed with anxiousness.
The six gods were silent.
The sound of the door opening came in time.
Ye Xi suddenly raised his head, and looked in the direction of the door.
Xu Qiu was standing at the door of her bedroom wearing his pajamas. His eyes were red and he looked at her in shock.
Ye Xi exhaled as he grabbed onto his throat, and finally let out a breath.
She ran towards Xu Qiu and grabbed her hand. Her expression was extremely anxious, "Mom, I searched the entire room but I couldn't find you. You're worried to death."
Xu Qiu's eyebrow jumped, only then did he regain his senses, and exclaimed: "Xiao Xi, it's so late, why are you here?"
"?" Ye Xi stared at her red eyes and did not say a word.
Seeing that she was staring at her, the corners of Xu Qiu's mouth curled up u
aturally as he lowered his head.
Unexpectedly, she would turn back. Alone at home, that was good. She didn't have to painstakingly hide her emotions.
Unexpectedly, he was hit by this girl.
Bitterness flashed across his eyes.
Xu Qiu sighed, "Mom will go to the bathroom first."
Xu Qiu did not even look up as he continued speaking, passing Ye Xi and walking towards the washroom.
Ye Xi stared at her slender back, his eyes turning deeper.
When Xu Qiu came out of the bathroom, he saw Ye Xi sitting at the dining table with his head lowered.
Xu Qiu let out a light sigh as he looked at the food on the table. He was a little taken aback as he walked forward and walked to Ye Xi's side and gently patted her shoulder. "Xiao Xi, don't tell mother that you made all of this?"
Ye Xi frowned slightly as he raised his head to look at her.
Seeing that the redness in her eyes had already faded, her expression remained normal.
Squinting his eyes, Ye Xi pulled her hand and sat by her side. He stared at her face for a while, then said with a smile, "It's not like you don't know about your daughter's culinary skills. Other than steak and fried eggs with noodles, you don't know anything else ? No, I've also learned to cook soup. So other than that, I wouldn't do anything else. "
