Ye Xi gasped, her small body tensed up as she stared at him.
The man instantly retracted the hostility in his eyes, smiled at Ye Xi slightly, and spoke with an extremely mild tone, "Girl, order for yourself if you like."
Ye Xi clenched his fists tightly and slowly moved them from his knees up, he touched his bag and felt for his phone. Ye Xi retracted his breath and laughed, "I'm not picky with food, Uncle is free."
The man glanced at Ye Xi's hand with his black eyes, curled his lips, lowered his neck, and touched the menu with his finger.
The waiter respectfully and carefully recorded down the dishes ordered by the man.
Finally, the man ordered a bottle of red wine and a glass of lemon juice.
The waiter put away the menu and actually bowed and took two steps back. Then, he turned around and walked out of the restaurant with quick steps.
Ye Xi looked towards the door and saw several black clothed men standing on both sides of the door. His heart sank and he pinched his phone.
"Uncle saw you with a man at noon? "Who is that man?"
The man smiled slightly, acting as if he was chatting casually with Ye Xi.
Ye Xi was startled, she looked straight at him, "Uncle, why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, I just thought that man looked a little familiar. Hmm ?" Uncle is worried that the little girl will be toyed with! "
The man frowned, as though he was truly worried for Ye Xi.
The words "I'm worried that she will be toyed with," still caused a huge commotion in Ye Xi's heart.
Ye Xi took a deep breath and forced out a smile, "Uncle said that he looks familiar, does he think that he looks like someone Uncle knows?"
The man raised his fingers at Ye Xi, "Maybe Uncle was overthinking it and recognized the wrong person. The person Uncle knows is one of the top people in B City. The man who is with the girl today shouldn't be him. "
One of the top identities in B City...
Ye Xi's face turned white as she looked at the man with her watery eyes, "Can I know the name of the man that uncle knows?"
The man lowered his eyes. "Yes, the lass is currently working at that man's company."
"Uncle, could it be that you're talking about the CEO of our company?" Ye Xi smiled lightly, her fair and small face forced out a smile.
The pair of dark eyes trembled in panic.
The man's deep eyes flashed across Ye Xi's large eyes, and he nodded lightly: "The CEO whose Huo's Group and whereabouts are mysterious."
"?" Ye Xi felt his heart clenching hard, he squinted his eyes and looked at the man, "Although I am working at Huo's, I still don't know the name of the CEO."
"Huo Yaoting!"
"?!"
Ye Xi had not finished speaking when he heard the two words that came out of his mouth.
Something was ringing in his head, Ye Xi's face quickly turned pale, her pink lips had also lost its color.
His large eyes were as wide as bells due to shock. He opened his mouth and looked at the man for a long time without being able to say anything!
Meanwhile, a green vein was popping out from the back of his white hand while his small hand was holding the phone.
When the man saw Ye Xi's stupefied look, a perverted smile flashed across his face. He then asked with concern and concern, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
As the man said this, he gasped in shock, "Could it be that the man who was with the girl at noon today is?"
"..." "No ?" Ye Xi hurriedly shook his head, "No, that's not it. He's not. "
"Oh." The man squinted his eyes, with his back leaning on the back of the chair, he stared at Ye Xi without saying a word.
After a while, the waiter brought the wine on the table, and poured the red wine into the wine wake. After that, he indicated to the man and placed the lemon juice in front of Ye Xi.
The man stared at Ye Xi's pale little face, sat straight up slightly, lowered his eyelashes to cover the dark glint in his eyes, and personally poured himself half a cup of red wine.
Lifting the red wine glass to his lips, he took a sip. As the red wine flowed down his throat, the man's voice became more and more muffled, "Do you like watching movies?"
"?" Ye Xi's gaze focused on the man.
The man pointed to the lemon juice in front of her. "Your mother's favorite drink. I think you like it too."
Ye Xi's eyelids twitched as she looked at the lemon juice in front of her. Both she and her mother liked drinking lemon juice, but now she had no appetite to drink it.
The man didn't care and continued, "Have you seen the movie 'Game of Hunger'?"
Ye Xi frowned, he did not understand why he would suddenly mention the movie.
"Every new CEO of the Huo's Group has to go through many brutal battles, and only the final wi
er can take over the position of the CEO of the Huo's. And their competition rules were very similar to this movie, similar to how cruel it was. However, the competition for the Huo's president was even more brutal than it was in the movies. Do you know why? "
The man did not look at Ye Xi. Instead, he gently waved the red wine in his hand, and his gaze followed the liquid in the cup.
The fact was, not only had Ye Xi seen this movie? Hunger Games?, he had also seen a few of the movies of this movie.
This film series, Game of Hunger, tells of the creation of a new state of charity in the ruins of a great war in North America. In order to control the twelve jurisdictions under the regime, the new regime had decreed that every year the twelve districts under its jurisdiction must pay tribute to two young men and women, ranging from twelve to seventeen years old, for a live television programme called The Hunger Games. Furthermore, the program's rules were very simple: Kill everyone who joined the program other than himself. Because only then would he be able to survive.
In the movie, the men and women who were selected to join the program had only two choices: either to kill or to be killed!
When Ye Xi thought about how cruel and bloody the movie was, he couldn't help but feel sad about it. His heart was already drenched in sweat.
The man looked sideways at Ye Xi's trembling little face, the smile on his face became even wider, and he said, "In the movies, other than the male and female participants who know each other in their own districts, no one else knows each other. But the ones who are competing for the position of Huo's President are different. Not only do they know each other, they are brothers and sisters who have the same blood flowing in their bodies! "
"?" Ye Xi's body trembled violently, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Because of the shock, and also because of the fear, Ye Xi's pupils became wide open, trembling as he stared at the man.
The man looked at Ye Xi for a while, then suddenly relaxed and squinted his eyes at Ye Xi, and said, "According to what I know, every CEO of Huo's has more requests for their son, the more the better. Huo's was such a large family business, that they had to choose the best and strongest successor amongst these children to ensure that their Huo's Group would not decline for a long time. When Uncle saw you with that man who looks like the Chairman Huo today, I thought that the little girl was chosen by the Chairman Huo to help him give birth. "
Son...
Ye Xi's breathing stagnated, and a hand subconsciously reached to his stomach.
