063 Mr. Huo has had another episode.

Seeing Huo Yanxi walk through the living room and stand in the entryway to change his shoes, Xie Yaoyao quickly went over.

"Mr. Huo, we have to uphold the spirit of the contract. You paid me to cook for you, so how are we going to settle the bill if you don't eat it?"

She also wanted to buy Xie Ziyu a bright and clean sunroom, and Huo Yanxi couldn't go back on his word.

A hint of melancholy flashed across Huo Yanxi's face.

The sweet milk scent emanating from her always reminded him of Chi Xiaoman.

However, the woman in front of him was not Chi Xiaoman.

He sought solace in her, which was an act of betrayal against Chi Xiaoman.

He would never allow his morality to be flawed, nor would he allow himself to betray Chi Xiaoman.

"Teacher Xie, don't be too greedy. If you try to fleece one sheep, you'll end up fleecing it all."

Xie Yaoyao did indeed have the intention of taking advantage of Huo Yanxi, and when he pointed it out directly, she cleverly retorted, "Didn't you say that yourself? Ten thousand yuan for a meal."

He provides the money, she provides the labor, so neither of them loses out.

Huo Yanxi: "I've changed my mind now. Go to Uncle Jian's place and collect your wages for these days. You don't need to cook for me anymore after that."

Xie Yaoyao didn't know what she had done wrong, but she lost a high-paying job overnight.

She was extremely upset. "Mr. Huo, won't you reconsider?"

Huo Yanxi glanced at her indifferently, "No need, Teacher Xie should focus on teaching and nurturing students."

Xie Yaoyao sighed.

really.

Not all good things come her way.

"Alright, but if Mr. Huo changes his mind, I'll have to pay more."

Although the possibility is very small, Xie Yaoyao still wants to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects.

So that he wouldn't think she was someone who could be summoned at will and dismissed at will, someone who was particularly easy to talk to.

Huo Yanxi pursed his thin lips and walked out of the villa without saying a word.

The morning sunlight fell on him, but it couldn't penetrate his gloomy heart. He slowly walked into the light.

Xie Yaoyao stood in the entryway, watching Huo Yanxi walk down the steps.

She wasn't sure if it was the lighting, but she could see that part of his wrist that was sticking out of his sleeve was covered in bruises.

She felt she must have seen wrong.

She blinked.

When she squinted again, Huo Yanxi had already walked far away, but the purplish-blue mark became Xie Yaoyao's heartache.

The sound of a car engine came from the courtyard, and the black Bentley parked there quickly drove away.

Xie Yaoyao stood in the entryway for a while until she could no longer hear the engine sound before turning around and walking inside.

Uncle Jian came downstairs, looking somewhat haggard, and sighing.

Xie Yaoyao asked suspiciously, "Uncle Jian, what happened?"

Looking at Xie Yaoyao's bewildered expression, Uncle Jian hesitated, then said, "Nothing, Fifth Master, have you had breakfast yet?"

"No, he was just saying he wouldn't let me cook for him anymore, Uncle Jian. I only took a nap, how did the sky fall down?"

Where can she find a job that pays 10,000 yuan for cooking a meal?

Uncle Jian exchanged a glance with her and said with a wry smile, "I also want to ask, how come the sky fell down after I took a nap?"

Fifth Master not only lost his appetite again, but also injured himself all over.

When he was treating his wounds, he felt a pang of heartache looking at the electric shock marks covering his pale skin.

Is he trying to kill himself?

Both of them looked distressed.

Uncle Jian asked Xie Yaoyao, "Teacher Xie, did something happen when you went out yesterday?"

Xie Yaoyao frowned and thought carefully, "No, everyone had a good time and enjoyed the food."

Later, the grilled squid and grilled potatoes she made were devoured by them.

Nothing major happened on the way back.

Uncle Jian gently stroked his chin, completely puzzled. "That's strange. If nothing happened, why did Fifth Master suddenly fall ill again?"

Xie Yaoyao and her son have been here for more than half a month. Except for the first night when Huo Yanxi fell ill, they have been fine the rest of the time.

Especially after Xie Yaoyao cooked for Huo Yanxi, his energy and spirit improved significantly.

Why did my illness suddenly relapse?

Xie Yaoyao narrowed her eyes. "A relapse? Does President Huo have some kind of illness?"

She doesn't remember Huo Yanxi being sick.

Uncle Jian looked at her with a serious expression. "Teacher Xie, this is Fifth Master's privacy, I can't tell you."

Xie Yaoyao: "..."

Okay, okay, so you're going to play the game of hiding things, huh?

"I understand, Uncle Jian. Should I cook for Mr. Huo or not?"

Uncle Jian frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Do it. I'll send it to President Huo at noon."

Huo Yanxi has entered another period of anorexia.

Previously, he could only eat the food Xie Yaoyao cooked. If Xie Yaoyao stopped cooking, he would eventually have to rely on IV nutrition.

Xie Yaoyao readily agreed, "Okay."

As the two were talking, Chi Wanwan came downstairs yawning, wearing a red silk nightgown.

The thin straps hang just on the shoulders, revealing the elegant lines of the shoulders and neck, as well as the hollow of the neck and the perfectly delicate collarbone.

The nightgown clung to her body, outlining her perfect waist and hip lines; it must be said, her figure is truly stunning.

Chi Wanwan tossed her chestnut-brown, wavy hair, looking as alluring as a siren.

What should we eat for breakfast?

As she spoke, she walked past Xie Yaoyao and Uncle Jian into the restaurant.

Seeing the simple breakfast on the table, she said with disgust, "What is this? It's all black and looks like dog food, Uncle Jian. I want a French breakfast."

Xie Yaoyao pursed her red lips and walked over slowly, forcing a smile. "Miss Chi, you said that Mr. Huo quite likes the breakfast you feed the dog. Why don't you say that again in front of him?"

Chi Wanwan exclaimed "Eh!" with an increasingly disgusted expression. "These are all low-class things. Take them away right now. This smell is making the air feel cheap."

Xie Yaoyao really didn't know where Chi Wanwan got her sense of superiority from, but she wasn't going to put up with it.

"If Miss Chi thinks the air is cheap, then she shouldn't stay here. I also find your snake-like face disgusting."

Chi Wanwan was furious. "What did you say?"

"Don't repeat yourself."

Chi Wanwan stomped her feet in anger, then turned to glare at Uncle Jian, "Butler, I want you to kick her out right now."

Before Uncle Jian could speak, Xie Ziyu came out carrying a steamed bun.

As soon as Doubao saw Chi Wanwan, it started barking wildly at her, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof..."

Chi Wanwan's expression changed slightly; she was still a little afraid of this dog.

Years ago, she went to a small fishing village and set fire to the boat houses; this dog narrowly escaped death.

Later, it kept chasing her and barking wildly, and even bit her.

She ordered her bodyguard to kill it, but it escaped quickly, dragging a long wound on its back, and disappeared in a flash.

She thought it had bled to death long ago, but unexpectedly, Huo Yanxi picked it up.

This dog holds grudges.

Every time it saw her, it would bark incessantly. She was afraid that Huo Yanxi would become suspicious, so she didn't even dare to lay a hand on the dog.

If I had known, she would have bought some rat poison and killed it.

Uncle Jian said in a businesslike tone, "Miss Chi, Teacher Xie was invited by Fifth Master to teach the young master. If you want to get rid of her, Fifth Master has to give the order. You don't have the right to decide whether Teacher Xie stays or goes."

Chi Wanwan sneered, "Fine, fine, I can't decide whether she stays or goes, but I can at least deal with her."

After saying that, she raised her hand and slapped Xie Yaoyao hard across the face.
