Chapter 326 Reconciliation

Huo Huai Sui left with a large stack of red envelopes in his pocket.

They were all forced upon them by the Xie family, each stack thicker than the last.

This left Huo Huaisui feeling bewildered and somewhat uneasy.

She had never heard that her ex-girlfriend was going to her ex-boyfriend's house to celebrate his birthday.

I've never heard of an ex-girlfriend giving her ex-boyfriend a red envelope on his birthday, or his family giving her a red envelope.

So shocked was Huo Huai Sui that she didn't realize there was a man with her until she walked out of the Xie residence.

"You don't need to take me," Huo Huaisui said.

She can hitch a ride back with Niannian and the others.

Xie Qinglan: "You take me there."

"?" Huo Huai Sui asked, "Where are you going?"

He reeked of alcohol, looked like he'd had quite a bit to drink, and instead of staying home to rest, he dared to wander around.

Xie Qinglan: "Staff housing."

Huo Huai Sui glanced at him.

Okay then. I'll see you off on your birthday.

Xie Qinglan drove a Cayenne to pick up Huo Huaisui in the afternoon, a different luxury car from the ones Huo Huaisui had seen before.

After getting into the driver's seat, Huo Huaisui sighed: "So rich!"

These men all seem to really like cars—her brother, her fourth brother, and even Xie the liar.

They had more cars than she had handbags.

Envy. Jealousy!

Huo Huai Sui escorted Xie Qinglan to the staff housing building. Seeing that Xie Qinglan was walking unsteadily, and fearing that he might fall and die in the stairwell and make headlines the next day, he decided to go all the way and escort him upstairs.

"A gift." Xie Qinglan reached out her hand towards the back seat.

The gift Huo Huai Sui gave him was placed on the back seat.

"He can barely walk straight, yet he still remembers the gift." Huo Huai Sui muttered, opening the back door of the car and taking the gift out.

Xie Qinglan draped her arm over her shoulder, and as she turned her head, her lips brushed against her ear, "You gave it to me."

A warm breath brushed over, and Huo Huai Sui felt a tickle on the tips of her ears, which quickly flushed red.

She shrank back and dodged to the side, snapping at him fiercely, "...Don't talk!"

Xie Qinglan was tall and had a strong and muscular physique due to years of exercise, so he was naturally quite heavy. Although he could walk around on his own, most of his weight was on Huo Huaisui. Helping him upstairs was more strenuous for Huo Huaisui than carrying two 20-pound bags of rice.

Huo Huai Sui huffed and puffed as she helped the drunkard upstairs. The drunkard rested his head on her shoulder and sniffed her neck and shoulder like a pervert.

fragrant.

It's not the scent of perfume, but a very faint body odor.

Her neck looks good too.

Xie Qinglan suddenly felt that her lips were a little dry.

He licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue, intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her fair skin.

A slightly itchy, sticky sensation came over Huo Huai Sui, and he froze.

She paused, tilting her head in confusion to look at Xie Qinglan. After standing still for two seconds, something flashed through her mind. Her expression changed, and she leaned against the armrest, forcefully lifting Xie Qinglan's head with both hands, baring her teeth as she warned, "Don't vomit on me!"

Xie Qinglan: "..."

Sigh, I don't know whether to be disappointed or desperate.

Xie Qinglan, her eyes glazed with drunkenness, glanced at Huo Huaisui, then lowered her head again.

The hallway was quiet.

Huo Huai Sui stared at him for a moment, and only after confirming that he wasn't nauseous did he continue to help him upstairs.

After finally climbing to the fourth floor, Huo Huai Sui was panting heavily, feeling like he was no different from a dead dog.

"Open, open the door."

Xie Qinglan rummaged through his pockets for a long time, dawdling, which made Huo Huaisui want to reach out and help him, before he slowly took out the keys.

"Go in by yourself." Huo Huai Sui pushed Xie Qing Lan into the house.

Who knew this guy would grab her and not let go, and when he was pushed inside, he pulled her in with him.

Huo Huai Sui was so tired that his legs were weak. He managed to steady himself by holding onto the entryway cabinet, so he didn't fall into Xie Qing Lan's arms.

She doesn't argue with drunkards.

Huo Huai Sui caught her breath for a moment, then handed him the gift, saying, "Get some rest."

"Oh right, and this too." Huo Huai Sui opened his bag and took out the large stack of red envelopes that the Xie family had given him.

After thinking it over, she still felt that she shouldn't accept these red envelopes.

Xie Qinglan raised her eyelids and looked at her.

Huo Huaisui: "It was given to you by your family."

Xie Qinglan didn't take it, her gaze falling on her lips. "Goodnight kiss."

"..." You filthy scoundrel!

Huo Huai Sui simply followed suit, pretending not to hear, and continued talking to himself, "I can't accept these red envelopes, but remember to settle the debts you owe me."

Each matter should be addressed separately. Most of the red envelopes from the Xie family were for Xie Qinglan's girlfriend, not for her, so she should return them to him. As for the debt Xie Qinglan owed her, she earned it herself by risking her reputation, and she must collect it.

"Goodnight kiss." Xie Qinglan moved closer to her.

Huo Huai Sui subconsciously took two steps back, retreating until he was in a corner.

She glared at Xie Qinglan warily, her hands covering her face. "I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. I haven't even settled the score with you for the last few times."

Xie Qinglan thought to herself, "I went to so much trouble, pretending to be drunk and climbing the stairs with you for half an hour. I finally managed to get you in here. It would be a shame not to do something naughty. My girlfriend is my duty."

Huo Huai Sui couldn't remember how many times she had reminded him: "We've already broken up."

Xie Qinglan: "We've made up now."

Huo Huaisui: "No!"

Xie Qinglan threatened: "If you don't make up, I'll kiss you!"

Huo Huaisui: "..."

She suspected the man was faking being drunk, but she had no proof.

As the face drew closer and closer, and the man's scent filled her senses, Huo Huai Sui's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Make up! Make up! Make up!"

A wise person knows when to yield. At worst, we can break up after we leave this room!

The face, so close to his, finally stopped, no longer drawing near.

Just as Huo Huai Sui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say, "I have to join the research group tomorrow, so I can't go to work at the coffee shop with you."

Huo Huai Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to remain calm to comfort him, "Go, go, the bright future of our motherland needs you."

I don't need it. You should leave now.

Xie Qinglan looked at her evasive eyes and suddenly asked, "Am I not good enough?"

Huo Huai Sui was stunned for a moment.

Xie Qinglan continued, "Why did you break up?"

Why did you break up...?

Huo Huai Sui rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

He's such a big liar, how dare he ask?

If she had known he was the son of the Xie family, she would have preferred not to eat the ice cream or accept the small gift rather than be with him.

It's not that Xie Qinglan is bad; on the contrary, he's too outstanding. Any woman with eyes and normal aesthetic sense would like a man like him.

But she can't.

She was just an ordinary, poor girl who was lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family.

Her mother is constantly pressuring her to get married, wishing she could marry him right away. If Xie Qinglan weren't so outstanding, she would have dated him properly.

Unfortunately, they weren't a good match.

Students who are academically weak and those who are academically strong have nothing in common.

Just like her mother and her father.

Her mother is a highly educated scientific researcher, while her father is just an ordinary college graduate who reeks of money.

When she was little, she asked her mother why she divorced her father. Her mother said it was because her father was too stupid, they had nothing in common and couldn't talk to each other.

Having two children and still not having anything in common shows that the combination of a poor student and a high achiever is really not suitable.

Xie Qinglan was clearly dating with marriage in mind, otherwise she wouldn't have told her family.

If she knew that the marriage would end in divorce, her choice would be to simply not get involved and get out as soon as possible.

Huo Huaisui earnestly advised, "There are plenty of fish in the sea..."

"A farewell kiss," Xie Qinglan said, then lowered her head to interrupt her.
