"Mm, investigate this woman called Lin Yu ??"
Ye Xi was sleeping soundly, and he vaguely heard someone talking. After rubbing his body under the velvet blanket, he slowly opened his eyes.
When she woke up, her mind was not fully awake yet. She stared blankly at the white ceiling.
Huo Yaoting kept his phone and walked out from his bedroom's balcony. He saw her staring adorably at the top of her head.
A smile flashed through his eyes as he walked forward and picked her up along with the velvet quilt.
"Ugh ??" Ye Xi's entire person was held tightly in his embrace, i
ocently opening his eyes wide and blinking.
Huo Yaoting laughed and then kissed her little face, "You want to sleep a little more?"
Ye Xi breathed in the fresh air as he asked, "What time is it now?"
Huo Yaoting looked at the Quartz on the wall and pursed his lips, "8: 30."
Ye Xi shook his head, "Then I won't be sleeping, I'm going to school today."
"Yes." As Huo Yaoting said that, he pulled up the duvet that was wrapped around her, and carried her towards the bathroom.
Ye Xi was slightly shocked, grabbing onto his clothes, "What are you doing?"
"I'll carry you to wash up." Huo Yaoting pursed her lips, and said coolly.
Ye Xi, "I'm not a disabled person!"
"So?" Huo Yaoting lowered his head, looking at her while laughing.
"I can go by myself!" Ye Xi frowned.
Huo Yaoting's face darkened as he stopped in his tracks. A hand slipped to her ankles and he glared at her fiercely. "Then, if I break your legs right now ??"
Before he could finish his words, the little girl's face turned pale and her body started shaking as well.
A flash of pain passed through his eyes as he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, "Little fool, I'm just trying to scare you!"
"??"
Huo Yaoting sent her to the school gate and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving!"
After that, he opened the car door and walked back to the school gate without looking back.
Staring at her slim back, Huo Yaoting's face sunk.
Ever since he had said those words in the morning, the little girl had changed back to the look she had when they first met. She had avoided him and refused to let him get any closer.
It was to the extent that when they occasionally glanced at him, their eyes would always carry a trace of fear.
[The little girl is timid. I think what he said must have scared her!]
Leaning against the seat.
Huo Yaoting tugged on his tie that was tied to the collar of his shirt.
He took off his glasses and threw them into the secret compartment.
Actually, it was no wonder that the little girl was scared.
Because when he said those words, it was exactly what he was thinking in his heart.
If one day, he had to break her wings, then he would be able to get close to her and hug her.
He definitely would not hesitate to do so!
However, thinking about how the two of them had just gotten closer to each other, and the fact that they had returned to their original positions, and that she might even resist and avoid him more than before, the anxiety and depression in her heart grew even stronger.
Huo Yaoting's jaw tightened, his eyes staring at the direction Ye Xi drove off to. After a long while, he started the engine, and drove away.
In the office of the Huo's Group CEO.
"CEO, please call from your house and ask you to come home tonight." Secretary Liu Ni stood in front of the desk and bowed his head to report on his trip for the day. At the end of it, he remembered that he had received a call from the old CEO this morning, and added.
Hearing this, the man who was looking through the documents frowned and looked up.
In Liu Ni's eyes, a handsome face that could shake the world appeared instantly.
Even after working alongside him for so many years, seeing this face still made her slightly absent-minded.
The man pursed his lips and asked, "Why?"
Liu Ni felt embarrassed. Back at his home, was there still a "reason"?
However, she would never dare to ask such a question.
He respectfully bowed his head and said, "I didn't say anything."
Huo Yaoting's eyes were slightly deep under the lens as he glanced at her, "Go out!"
Liu Ni nodded and prepared to leave.
Thinking of something, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Huo Yaoting, her face full of hesitation, "CEO, there's something that I don't know if I should say?"
Huo Yaoting lowered his head, and said with a cold voice, "Think it over yourself!"
Liu Ni's mouth twitched, he thought for a moment, then said: "The Chief of the Finance Department already left for maternity leave yesterday, so the President Huo's manager let the former Minister of Finance temporarily replace him as the Chief of Finance."
When Huo Yaoting heard it, he did not raise his head, but his eyes under the lens suddenly became cold, "Dismissed from the Finance Minister and report to Chi Rui, temporarily taking over the position of Treasurer."
Liu Ni was startled, "But the manager of President Huo ??"
"If you have any objections, tell him to find me directly!" Huo Yaoting said coldly, her voice slightly impatient.
Liu Ni's heart trembled as he replied: "Yes, CEO."
Once Liu Ni left the office, he stopped to look at the documents.
Ye Zichen leaned back on the chair, while his mind was filled with the scene of that little girl not turning back to look at the documents. He was stu
ed for quite a while, but still couldn't find a single word to say.
It seemed that he had underestimated the influence the girl had on him!
He let out a heavy sigh.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at the cell phone lying quietly on his desk.
His eyes flashed slightly as he picked up his phone, stood up and walked towards a large piece of glass in the office as he dialed Ye Xi's number with one hand in his pocket.
Not long after, a light ringtone came from the phone. It was a light music that could relax a person's mind.
The corner of Huo Yaoting's mouth rose, this sound did match the little girl's personality.
However, the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
The other end of the phone hung up.
The tendons on both sides of his temples throbbed. He tightened his grip on his mobile phone, turned around with a dark expression and walked out with a taut lip.
There was a voice roaring in his heart. He would never allow it, nor would he tolerate her escaping from him!
He wanted to see her now!
Ye Xi sat on the bed, his legs stretched out from the side of the bed and dropped to the ground.
Holding the phone in his hand, he bit his lips and looked at it uneasily.
She had just hung up on that person!
His heart was beating so fast that he felt some fear. Why? Just because he hung up on me? Or was it something he said to her this morning?
Broke her legs?
She kept convincing herself that perhaps, as he said, he was just scaring her!
She also felt that she could not take his words seriously. Who would be so brutal? If he couldn't come, he would break both of his legs!
However, his expression at that time, as well as the look in his eyes, were so serious that it seemed as if he wasn't joking at all.
When she heard this, her heart went cold! He unconsciously took it for real!
Even now, there was still some lingering fear. As such, when she saw his call just now, she subconsciously hung up!
Gu Li sat on the bed opposite of her, reading an ancient book. When she raised her head, she saw that Ye Xi's face was pale white.
He was slightly alarmed and hurriedly put down the ancient book. He got off the bed and patted her on the shoulder. "Xiao Xi ??"
Being struck suddenly, Ye Xi's entire body trembled, he looked over, and when he saw that it was Gu Li, he heaved a sigh of relief, and shifted to the side.
Gu Li frowned, sat by her side, tilted his head and asked her, "What are you thinking about? "He's that engrossed?"
Ye Xi pursed his lips, and asked tentatively: "Shed, I want to ask you a question."
Gu Li nodded, "Go ahead."
"Would you believe it if someone said they were going to break your legs?" Ye Xi asked.
Gu Li was startled, then her small face puckered up as she stared at Gu Xi
ing who was beside her on the bed, "She said she wanted to break my legs?!"
Ye Xi sweated and pulled her, "Don't think too much, it's my problem."
Gu Li snorted, and looked at Ye Xi, "Your problem? Someone threatened to break your leg? "
Ye Xi frowned, "But he said he was trying to scare me. But I am a little afraid! "
Gu Li rolled his eyes, "Xiao Xi, if I didn't say that, could you be as brazen as you are ?? A little longer? You think I can break your leg just because they say so? Do you believe me when I say I killed your entire family? "
"I don't believe you!" Ye Xi pursed his lips and laughed.
Gu Li looked at her and laughed, but he was speechless. He then asked, "Who was the person that said he wanted to break your leg?"
"Ugh ??"
Ye Xi was guilty, he did not dare look at her, and used his hand to hold onto the hair by his ear: "Just, just someone that I know!"
"Lies!" Gu Li grabbed onto her hair curling hand, his gaze was even sharper than a detective's, "I've known you for almost four years, you curls up your hair whenever you lie. I think it's more than just people we know, right? Speak, who is it? "
Ye Xi's face reddened slightly, it was a little embarrassed to be punctured by her on the spot.
But he also decided to find an opportunity to tell her about her marriage.
Since she was the one asking, she might as well just say it directly.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Xi looked at Qin Susu who was brushing his phone on the opposite side of the bed and Gu Xi
ing who was lying beside the bed.
She then looked at Gu Li and said hesitantly, "Shed, I have something to tell you."
Well, she admitted, it's still a bit hard to tell people about her marriage!
After all, she hadn't graduated yet. After all, she had just reached the legal age for marriage. After all, the purpose of her marriage was for the inheritance!
Gu Li saw her reaction.
He thought that the thing she wanted to tell her was related to that little sister of hers who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
His expression turned serious as he looked at her, "Speak, I am listening!"
Ye Xi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, mustered his courage, and said softly: "I, am married!"
After saying this, the surroundings fell into a long period of silence.
