Chapter 210 Wife, reward for running errands.
A luxurious villa.
- In the spacious living room
The man leaned lazily on the soft sofa, with his legs casually crossed.
He was wearing an exquisite shirt, but two buttons at the collar were undone, revealing his smooth neck and faintly visible collarbone.
Although he was dressed in a suit and tie, he exuded an unruly and ruffian air.
"Yu, I can't wait any longer. She seems to have figured out my identity."
Hearing this, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
He said slowly: "Okay. But you must understand that no matter success or failure, you have to leave with me."
"Okay." Lan Xiyue bit her lower lip tightly and responded firmly.
"Try to avoid hanging out at the Huo's as much as possible recently. Since she was able to discover your identity, Huo Chenqi will probably be alert as well."
"Even if Huo Chenqi knew, he wouldn't kill me, don't worry." Lan Xiyue answered confidently.
The man sneered and said sarcastically: "Haha, do you trust him so much?"
"Don't forget, when he kidnapped that bitch, didn't he just send a few people to give a warning?"
"Have you forgotten the injury on your leg?" the man frowned and reminded.
Lan Xiyue touched her knees, a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes, but she quickly said firmly: "So, he doesn't dare to do anything to me."
She took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up, and then said, "Ache's death anniversary is coming soon, let's do it on that day."
But when that person was mentioned, Lan Xiyue couldn't help feeling guilty, as if she was hiding an unspeakable secret in her heart and was afraid of being discovered.
Xiao Yu looked ahead, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, and did not respond to her.
Lan Xiyue muttered again: "He will go that day, so the timing is just right."
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, revealing a slight dissatisfaction.
He didn't like seeing Bai Xi always thinking about that man. He didn't understand what was so good about Huo Chenqi that made her miss him so much.
"It's been a busy day today. Go upstairs and take a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Lan Xiyue nodded and said softly: "Then I'll go back to my room first."
Xiao Yu took a sip of wine and said nothing.
He looked through the wine glass, looking ahead thoughtfully, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
……
Huoshi.
In the president's office
After Luo Yao came, Huo Chenqi put down his work, sat on the sofa with her and watched TV series on his tablet.
Suddenly, the man asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Kind of."
"What to eat?"
"Cake and milk tea." She paused and said, "And you have to buy them."
"Well? I buy it?" Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the one on Yangguan Road. It's right at the intersection. You can park there."
"Yangguan Road?" Huo Chenqi muttered, picked up his mobile phone from the table and searched it.
"Twelve kilometers. Okay, you stay by yourself for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his coat and was about to walk out.
"Aqi." Luo Yao called him.
"Well, what else do you want to eat?" The man turned around and looked at her lovingly.
Luo Yao felt a little guilty. She asked cautiously, "I need to do some work. Can I use your computer?"
"Your birthday."
"Ah?" Luo Yao didn't react for a moment.
"password."
"okay."
Looking at her dazed look, the smile on his lips grew wider, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows revealed a smile uncontrollably.
He turned and strode out the door.
Five minutes passed, Luo Yao looked at the time, it was almost time.
She stood up, walked to her desk, sat down and turned on her computer.
After seeing the surveillance system, I hesitated for a moment, but finally clicked it.
She checked the conversation she had just had with Lan Xiyue downstairs. The more she read, the more certain she became that this person was Bai Xi.
Copy it to your phone and delete your travel history.
Then I took a look at his project plan, which was really eye-catching, with good planning and rate of return.
She flipped through the documents on the table again and saw the name of her company appear here, which made her heart tremble.
I haven't heard of any cooperation with Huo's!
how come?
I opened it and looked at it with some surprise.
"Huh," she breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately... it's not an important project, so it doesn't matter whether we cooperate or not."
She also didn't want people to say that she had achieved her current success thanks to the Huo family, as gossip would never stop.
You and I are talking at the same time, which is fine if you put it in a positive way, but I am afraid that some people will distort the meaning of the story as they spread it.
Although my company is not large, it is still among the top five in the industry.
……
"Wife, I'm back."
"so fast!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Luo Yao closed the document, a happy smile on her face, and trotted to his side and took what was in his hand.
"There were not many cars on the road, so I drove a little faster."
However, Luo Yao frowned after hearing this and said seriously, "It's very dangerous for you to do this, okay? Don't do it next time."
"I'm just worried that you might get nauseous from waiting so long. Go wash your hands first."
"Hmph! Not next time!" She crossed her arms, pretended to be angry, and turned her face away.
"I know." Huo Chenqi smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the face.
"You!" Luo Yao glared at him, her cheeks slightly red.
"Hehe, wife, a reward for running errands."
Luo Yao rolled her eyes at him helplessly, turned around to wash her hands, and sat back on the sofa.
Looking at the pile of food the man bought, she couldn't help but scold him, "You're not going to eat it, but why did you buy so much?"
Huo Chenqi chuckled, "Who said I don't eat? I eat whatever my wife feeds me."
"Be serious!" Luo Yao said this, but the curve of her lips betrayed her.
……
Luo Yao gently scooped up a piece with a small spoon and put it into her mouth. The sweet taste melted on the tip of her tongue, and a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Huo Chenqi's eyes were full of doting, and he said softly: "Wife, you eat first, I'll go take care of the work, and then we'll go home together."
Luo Yao nodded in response while eating.
The man sat back at his desk and began looking through the documents.
For a moment, the only sounds in the office were the rustling of flipping documents and the occasional subtle noise made by Luo Yao.
However, this tranquility was soon broken by the man's question, "Honey, have you heard of the company LSL?"
Before she finished her words, all the milk that Luo Yao had just sucked into her mouth came out.
Seeing this, the man immediately jumped up from his seat, ran over nervously, and hurriedly picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"Is everything okay?"
Luo Yao's face turned red. She didn't expect him to ask her so suddenly.
After calming down, he quickly said, "I, it's okay, I can do it myself."
Then she took the tissue from the man and wiped the corners of her mouth while trying to calm herself down.
After a while, Luo Yao asked with evasive eyes, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" There was a barely perceptible nervousness in her tone.
Huo Chenqi didn't notice her abnormality and answered casually, "Nothing, Xu Nuo found the project from somewhere and said that this company is pretty good."
After hearing his explanation, Luo Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh."
