Chapter 136 Did I disturb you?

Lin Xiyin was about to close the door when Pei Muye blocked her way.

Lin Xiyin asked him, "President Pei, is there anything else?"

Pei Muye looked down at her: "Ruan Ruan..."

Lin Xiyin interrupted him: "Do you have to call me by my nickname?"

Pei Muye's eyes held a hint of grievance: "They can all call..."

Why can't he?

Lin Xiyin said, "I just feel that our relationship isn't close enough for us to call each other by nicknames. Especially... before, I was very unhappy when you called me that."

"Then, when can we call it?"

Lin Xiyin answered honestly, "I don't know either."

She asked Pei Muyi, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Pei Muyi felt a little uncomfortable: "I want to tell you that I don't want to hear you call me President Pei."

"What's it called?" Lin Xiyin asked.

Pei Muye said, "Call me by my name."

Lin Xiyin neither said she would call out nor not, she just smiled and said, "See you tomorrow?"

Pei Muye could only say, "See you tomorrow."

Lin Xiyin waved her hand and closed the door.

Pei Muye got on the elevator and looked down at his phone.

His contact name for Lin Xiyin was just two characters.

Western sound.

It looks quite familiar.

He used to call it that too.

But right now, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem intimate enough.

She didn't like him calling her Ruan Ruan.

What did he call her?

If they hadn't divorced, he could still call her his wife.

But now...

He also wanted to sound nicer.

In the past, I heard Lu Zuofan call those women "baby," "sweetheart," "darling"...

He found it cloying.

But today, he suddenly felt that he also wanted to call Lin Xiyin that.

He held her in his arms and called her a nickname that belonged only between the two of them.

He used to have all of these within easy reach.

But now...

He moved his fingers, changed the nickname, and then sent her another message.

After Lin Xiyin got home, she busied herself giving the little guy a bath, and then she bathed herself as well.

It was more than an hour later when she saw Pei Muye's message.

What he sent was: I'll call you Yinyin from now on.

Lin Xiyin didn't reply. After looking at it for a while, she turned off her phone.

It's just a form of address; she didn't care about it.

The reason I didn't want Pei Muye to call me before was because I felt that Pei Muye was cheating on me and I didn't want to talk to him at all.

She doesn't know why, but she doesn't really feel anything when others call her that.

But when Pei Muye calls her, she feels extremely uncomfortable.

This is because Pei Muye was once her closest bedmate.

It was a fact that she couldn't change no matter what she did.

They used to be so close.

Now, however, they are almost like strangers.

If it weren't for the child, and if she hadn't learned that everything in the past was a misunderstanding, Lin Xiyin felt that she and Pei Muye would only end up as strangers.

She closed her eyes, just about to fall asleep, when her phone rang again.

It was actually sent by Chi Tianlin.

He hasn't spoken to her for many days.

He asked: "How was your day? Did you have fun? Have you decided to start over with him?"

Lin Xiyin thought for a moment before replying: Playing with the kids is quite enjoyable. As for my relationship with Pei Muyi, to be honest, I don't know what to do in the future.

Upon receiving her reply, Chi Tianlin immediately lost the desire to sleep.

He never cared about women, was unconventional, and seemed to enjoy joining in the fun, but was actually lonely and strange inside.

He was eccentric from a young age.

He called Huo Xianyang, but it took a long time before the other end answered.

Due to time differences between China and other countries, it was early morning where Huo Xianyang was.

Huo Xianyang's voice was heavy with sleepiness: "Big brother, it's 4:30 here!"

Chi Tianlin said coldly, "You can still sleep? Your wife is gone!"

Huo Xianyang pinched his brow and sat up. The blanket slipped down, revealing half of his chest, broad and sexy.

He drank half a glass of water before speaking: "What triggered you?"

Chi Tianlin said, "What could possibly upset me? I'm just here to remind you that I saw Xiao Ruoyi today. She was with a guy who looked to be under twenty, and he seemed to be studying sports."

Huo Xianyang gritted his teeth in hatred.

Xiao Ruoyi likes to have fun and has said before that she wants to find a sports student.

It seems that my wish has come true.

"I told you you shouldn't have left in the first place." Chi Tianlin said, exasperated. "Wasn't leaving just to make room for other men?"

Huo Xianyang pinched the bridge of his nose: "What do you think I should do? If I don't leave, things will only get worse in the end."

Xiao Ruoyi would never give him a kind look. As long as he was possessive of Xiao Ruoyi, the two of them would have endless arguments.

Xiao Ruoyi has truly mastered the art of infuriating people.

"So you think leaving will solve everything?" Chi Tianlin said. "Is this how it ends from now on?"

"I don't know either," Huo Xianyang said. "I'm tired, I really don't know what to do. You know how much pressure my family is putting on me, my mom is threatening to kill herself every day, what am I supposed to do?"

Chi Tianlin said, "Who told you to do such a bastard thing back then?"

Huo Xianyang gave a wry smile: "How was I supposed to know I'd like her that much? Besides, haven't I suffered enough to atone for my sins over the years?"

Chi Tianlin said, "Knowing that you're having a tough time makes me feel relieved."

"Get out!" Huo Xianyang was stung by someone early in the morning; "If you're really bored, go run a few laps down there!"

Chi Tianlin was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Lin Xiyin seems to be giving Pei Muyi a chance. Do you think they will start over?"

Huo Xianyang said, "I told you long ago that you had no chance. If Lin Xiyin liked you, she would have liked you three years ago. Why would she have made you wait until now?"

"I don't like her at all!" Chi Tianlin snapped, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Stop talking nonsense!"

"You like someone but won't admit it. She's making progress with Pei Muye, and you're so depressed. If you're so awkward, what will you do if they actually get back together?"

Chi Tianlin angrily hung up the phone.

Huo Xianyang, however, couldn't sleep.

Xiao Ruoyi's relationship with the sports student caused him immense heartache.

The next day was Sunday, and Lin Xiyin had her own plans.

Around 10 a.m., she called Xiao Ruoyi: "Are you off today?"

Xiao Ruoyi pinched her neck: "At the company."

She's so busy all day long that she never gets a day off.

"Auntie is making soup for lunch, and I was thinking of having you come and have some," Lin Xiyin said. "If you're busy, I'll bring it to you."

Xiao Ruoyi hadn't seen her for several days: "Do you have time today?"

"There's still time to deliver a soup."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

As a result, Lin Xiyin saw Huo Xianyang downstairs from Xiao Ruoyi.

She thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes and realized that the man really was Huo Xianyang.

She hadn't seen him for months and had assumed that Huo Xianyang had gone abroad and hadn't returned.

When did you get back?

Huo Xianyang saw her too, and as if he had seen his savior, he immediately strode over and said, "Xiyin."

Lin Xiyin asked him, "Attorney Huo, when did you get back?"

"just."

Lin Xiyin then noticed that he looked travel-worn and his eyes were red.

Judging by the time, he must have taken a flight back overnight.

"So urgent? Is something the matter?"

Huo Xianyang gave a casual "hmm" and asked her, "Are you going to find Yiyi?"

"Bring her some soup." Lin Xiyin raised her hand. "Are you looking for her too?"

“Perfect timing, I’ll take it up for you. Do you have anything else to do?” Huo Xianyang asked.

Lin Xiyin shook her head: "It's alright, then you can take it upstairs."

Huo Xianyang pointed to the front desk: "Then you should say so."

Lin Xiyin looked at it and realized what was going on: "You don't mean... they won't let you go upstairs, do you?"

Huo Xianyang was a little embarrassed: "You know Yiyi's personality..."

It's likely that Xiao Ruoyi instructed them not to let Huo Xianyang go up.

Lin Xiyin actually wanted to bring them together.

So she went over and said a few words to the receptionist.

The receptionists all know her and know that she has a good relationship with Xiao Ruoyi, so of course they will give her face.

Huo Xianyang was able to get on the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he waved to Lin Xiyin and said, "I'll treat you to dinner later."

Lin Xiyin smiled and waved.

She turned around and sent a message to Xiao Ruoyi: I'm not going over there. I found a delivery guy to bring it to you.

Xiao Ruoyi replied: You called a delivery person? Then I'll tell the front desk that our company doesn't allow couriers to come upstairs.

Lin Xiyin said: No need, you just wait.

A few minutes later, Xiao Ruoyi heard someone knocking on the door and said, "Come in."

As the door opened, she looked up and froze.

Huo Xianyang suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xiao Ruoyi suppressed the stinging in her eyes and smiled, "Oh, what a rare guest! It's an honor to have Attorney Huo here."

Huo Xianyang walked over and placed the thermos on her table: "Soup."

"So the delivery guy Ruanruan found was you." Xiao Ruoyi still smiled. "Did Attorney Huo change careers? Or did his law firm go bankrupt?"

"I'm bankrupt." Huo Xianyang walked to her side, placing his hands on the armrests of her chair. "Mr. Xiao, would you consider giving me some financial assistance?"

"Don't you know who I am?" Xiao Ruoyi leaned back. "Don't you know I'm stingy? Sponsor you? Do you think my money grows on trees?"

Huo Xianyang was so close to her that he couldn't even bother arguing with her anymore.

He reached out, pinched her chin, and moved closer to her: "Yiyi, have you missed me?"

It had been several dozen days since the two had last seen each other.

We haven't been in contact.

This was the longest they had been apart since they got together.

Xiao Ruoyi's nose stung with tears. She tried to lift her head and look at Huo Xianyang: "Who do you think you are? Why should I even think about you..."

Huo Xianyang swallowed the rest of the words.

Huo Xianyang could no longer suppress his longing and kissed her fiercely.

He couldn't sit still at all just thinking about Xiao Ruoyi having someone else by her side.

After getting up and taking a shower, I booked a flight back to China.

All you athletes and muscular guys out there, get lost!

Xiao Ruoyi is his!

Xiao Ruoyi pushed him, but he grabbed her arm and pressed down harder.

He wouldn't hurt her; he was just temporarily restricting her movements.

"Sister, look at this..."

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall, handsome young man walked in holding a bottle of beverage.

The scene in the office froze before him.

Xiao Ruoyi was huddled in her office chair, being pressed down and kissed by someone.

The man above her had broad shoulders and a narrow waist; even just looking at his back, he was a top-notch guy.

Xiao Ruoyi's eyes were red and her gaze was darting around; Huo Xianyang didn't want anyone to see her like this.

He immediately blocked her way and turned around to look.

And at first glance, he recognized that this boy was the sports student that Chi Tianlin had mentioned.

Ha, and she even calls me "sister".

That's shameless!

"Sis..." the boy said, a little flustered, "Did I disturb you?"
