novelYou Even dare to Hang up on Me
| ← Ch.040 | Ch.042 → |
In the teahouse, after Ye Xi and Huo Yaoting just finished talking, Gu Li's phone once again rang.
Ye Xi looked at the caller ID and saw that it was still the same "The Great Evil Uncle".
Frowning, Ye Xi looked at Gu Li who was limp and weak inside, worrying that it was one of her parents calling. After thinking for a bit, she picked up Gu Li's phone and picked it up.
"Little girl, now you're so bold, you even dare to hang up on me." Although the words were filled with hostility and dissatisfaction, the voice on the other end of the phone was gentle and inclusive, with a faint hint of helplessness.
Ye Xi was stu ed. The first thing he felt was that this man's voice was very pleasant to listen to, like a cool breeze brushing by his ears, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.
Taking a small breath, Ye Xi then replied softly, "Hello, I'm Gu Li's friend. Gu Li is not in a good position to pick up the phone right now."
It was as if the man did not expect Gu Li to be the one to answer the phone, after being silent for a moment, he asked, "Is it not convenient?"
He didn't know if it was her misconception, but Ye Xi felt that this man's voice had suddenly become a lot colder, and was even adding a faint sense of oppression.
Slightly drawing in a breath, he lowered his head to look at the drunk Gu Li, and bit the bullet: "Un, her, she is still a bit inconvenient right now."
After Ye Xi finished speaking, there was a period of silence from the other side.
Ye Xi felt his scalp tingling. He was about to say that when it was convenient for Gu Li to reply to him, he suddenly hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy signal from the phone, Ye Xi felt the pressure on his head slowly dissipate.
He exhaled and placed the phone on the table, waiting for someone to come.
Twenty minutes later, a certain someone's tall figure appeared at the entrance of the bar. His upright and respectful demeanor seemed to bring about a strong light. The moment he appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone in the bar.
But he did not glance at her, his dark eyes locked onto Ye Xi, and walked straight towards her.
Ye Xi also saw him. He was not wearing a suit jacket, and his white shirt and black suit vest made him look even more stable and outstanding.
Her heart started beating rapidly. She couldn't help but blush when she saw him approach.
Huo Yaoting glanced at Gu Li who was lying on top of her, pursed his lips tight and did not say anything, he took out a stack of red bills and placed it on the table, then pulled Ye Xi and walked out.
Ye Xi, who was carrying Gu Li, fell to the ground with a pull from him.
Ye Xi was shocked, she immediately flung his hands away and helped Gu Li up. She turned her head to look at Huo Yaoting with her watery eyes, slightly disagreeing.
Huo Yaoting's expression was pale, his eyes swept across the bar's environment.
It was broad daylight now, and the bar was filled with university students sitting in groups of twos and threes. The smell of alcohol wafting from their noses made him even more frustrated.
Tightening his brows, he stared at Ye Xi with his heavy eyes.
Ye Xi bit her lips as she struggled to help Gu Li up from the ground. Her doe eyes looked at him with grievance.
This man had already come, why did he throw an emoji at her!?
Obviously, Ye Xi hadn't realized the reason behind someone's displeasure.
Huo Yaoting pursed her lips, her handsome face was somewhat gloomy as she stared at Ye Xi, suppressing her anger.
At this moment, the surrounding people were all looking at them.
Ye Xi's face paled, he especially didn't like this feeling.
Lowering his head, he did not look at another person and carried Gu Li away.
Gu Li was about the same size as her, and was not fat either, but she was drunk now, and the weight of her entire body was on Ye Xi's body, making it extremely difficult for her to carry her.
However, she stubbornly refused to ask for help from someone, so she was a little angry in her heart.
As he slightly staggered out, he almost fell a few times. Huo Yaoting's frown deepened, without saying a word, he stepped forward and picked up the Gu Li who was pressing against her body.
Both of his arms stretched out straight, not allowing Gu Li to touch his body. He really didn't like it, other than the little girl, touch him!
His body becoming lighter, Ye Xi was startled, and then he saw a person carrying Gu Li walking out.
Lightly biting her lip, Ye Xi followed suit.
Walking to the front of the car, Huo Yaoting opened the door, and without hesitation, threw Gu Li into the back of the car.
Gu Li's entire body bounced on the carriage, but he thought about how much strength he used.
Seeing his actions, Ye Xi was shocked, she immediately rushed forward, only to see Gu Li hugging her head and curling up her body.
Ye Xi's heart was set ablaze, but seeing someone with a cold face, he did not dare say anything.
He took a deep breath and held it in.
He bent his body and got into the car, carefully helping Gu Li sit on it.
Huo Yaoting opened the driver's door and got in, but he did not drive the car, instead he looked at Ye Xi through the rearview mirror.
Ye Xi felt it, and raised his eyes to look at him.
"Come up." Huo Yaoting said in a cold voice. His expression was overbearing.
Ye Xi was startled, and immediately realised that he wanted her to sit in the front seat.
His heart lightly jumped. Ye Xi slightly hesitated for a moment before lifting Gu Li to fasten his seat belt, allowing her to lean back on the chair.
Only then did he open the car door and walk to the passenger seat.
Just as he sat down, a certain someone leaned over, causing Ye Xi's breathing to stagnate, he opened his eyes wide and stared at him.
Instead, he fastened her seat belt.
He didn't even look at her until the car left.
Ye Xi was filled with suspicions, and his heart was filled with disappointment as he frowned and looked at the other party's grave and stern face.
He couldn't help but think, was it because she asked him to come and pick her up, disturbing him?
Sighing softly, Ye Xi turned his head and looked out the window absentmindedly.
After sending Gu Li back to the dorm, Ye Xi fed the sobering medicine he bought when he came back, then hurriedly ran out of the dorm with a bag after feeding it to her.
When she reached the first floor of the dormitory, she slowed down and ran her hands through her messy hair before taking a deep breath and walking out.
When she left the dormitory, she saw someone standing with his back facing her.
Pursing her lower lip, Ye Xi could not help but feel a little nervous, because when she bought the Spirit-Sobering Medicine for Gu Li, she seemed to have realized something.
He took small steps to his side.
Ye Xi pulled at his sleeves.
Huo Yaoting lowered his head to look at her.
Ye Xi secretly swallowed his saliva, and said with a stiff smile, "It's all thanks to you today. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know what I would have done."
Alright, she admitted that her words were indeed fawning on him.
How could Huo Yaoting not recognize it? He snorted coldly and walked forward with large strides.
Ye Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and chased after him. He did not dare to shake his hand, but carefully grabbed onto his sleeve, and anxiously asked, "You're at work, am I disturbing you? Are you still back at the company? "I??"
Before Ye Xi could finish speaking, a certain someone suddenly stopped in his tracks and coldly stared at her.
Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat and she obediently shut her mouth. She was only pulling on his sleeve, but she still did not let go.
Huo Yaoting faintly glanced at the small length of sleeves being pulled by the soft and white little hand. Actually, as long as he slightly exerted a bit of force, he would be able to shake her off, but, in the end, he did not.
He raised his gaze and locked it onto her face, then suddenly extended out his arm and embraced Ye Xi forcefully.
