| ← Ch.204 | Ch.206 → |
On the morning of the second day, Ye Xi received a call from Qiao Wei, inviting her to meet him at the Wukang Coffee Shop.
Qiao Wei's voice came through the phone, it was hoarse and tired, with a hint of exasperation, it was not a situation where Ye Xi could reject her.
He thought about how he was going to bring Xiao Bao back from the Ye Family today. Since she was going to go out anyways, she decided to go see Qiao Wei first before going back to the Ye Family to fetch Xiao Bao.
After hanging up, Ye Xi looked at the man who was hugging her behind him. His long eyelashes lightly moved, and he lowered his head, then grabbed onto her waist and tried to move her away.
Just as his hand touched her arm, his hand suddenly grasped her wrist, and with a slight movement, he pulled her hand into his palm.
"You're going to get up?" He had just woken up, and his voice was rustling, hoarse, and laid-back.
Ye Xi did not speak, he only nodded his head lightly.
Huo Yaoting still had his eyes closed, so he naturally couldn't see her nodding her head. Her smooth brows slightly wrinkled, Huo Yaoting stared straight at her with his big eyes, straightened up, and turned to face him with one hand holding Ye Xi's small face.
When he woke up, his hair was still untidied and a little fluffy. His face was still the same gentle look he always had when he slept.
And his eyes were so focused.
Ye Xi's face, was not under her control, it had turned red and his eyes were blinking, trying to avoid her gaze.
His strong physique suddenly flipped over and pressed down on her body. His pair of strong, iron-clawed hands grabbed her wrists and raised her above his head. His black eyes burned with a raging fire as he gazed at her.
Ye Xi's pupils expanded, her small body continuously shrank, and she nervously asked in a small voice, "What are you doing?"
Huo Yaoting looked deeply into her eyes that were filled with a stubborn light, he sighed lightly, then kissed between her eyebrows. He released her hand, got off her body, and walked towards the washroom.
After a while, the sound of water splashing could be heard.
Ye Xi's heart was beating quickly, in the depths of his hazy eyes, there were faint waves of emotion.
When Huo Yaoting came out, his small body only wrapped in a white bath towel, Ye Xi had already changed his clothes, and was sitting on the side of the bed in a daze.
Her eyes flashed when he came out. She stood up, walked past him, and went into the bathroom.
Huo Yaoting frowned as he watched her walk into the bathroom. He only retracted his gaze after she had closed the door.
Pursing his lips, Huo Yaoting's thin lips curled up into a smile of self-mockery. The feeling of being ignored by the little girl was really?? This was terrible!
He walked to the wardrobe and opened it. His slender fingers moved between a row of blue and white shirts. Finally, he stopped on a dark blue shirt. He fastened the clothes rack with his fingertips and took out the shirt.
Then he opened the cupboard that held his tie, his eyes skimmed over the various colored ties, and finally took out a black tie that didn't match with his dark blue shirt.
After Ye Xi finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he saw Huo Yaoting standing in front of the mirror on the side of the wardrobe and looking into it. He could see her coming out from the mirror, so he turned to look at her.
Ye Xi only stood on his body for a second, then walked to the head of the bed, picked up his phone and bag on the table, and then walked out of the bedroom.
Huo Yaoting's expression was a little u atural as he stood there for a while. Then, frowning, he tore off the tie around his neck and threw it on the ground.
Beside the dining table, Ye Xi was quietly chewing on a piece of bread and drinking a mouthful of milk. He frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but after holding in for a long time, he was unable to say a word.
Huo Yaoting took his knife and fork and elegantly sliced up the fried eggs on his plate, without even lifting a eyelid, he said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"??" Ye Xi stopped chewing the bread, glanced at him once, then lowered her head and said, "I'm going out today."
"I know." Huo Yaoting's brows furrowed slightly, but his figure was clear enough.
He heard it when she picked up the phone this morning. The one who asked her out was Qiao Wei.
Qiao Jinglian's second sister!
Ye Xi was startled, she raised her head and looked at him, but she did not know what to say when he said that.
Huo Yaoting forked two eggs and ate it. When he put the third egg on his lips, he didn't want to eat it anymore.
He pursed his lips and threw the knife and fork onto the plate, letting out a soft crackling sound when the knife and fork knocked against the plate.
He slowly and elegantly took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. He lightly flung the tissue on the table, then raised his head. He squinted at her and said, "I have something to take care of. I'll take you wherever you go first."
