105 Huo Yanxi gently seduced

The public relations department of the Chi Group quickly released a statement online, claiming that Chi Wanwan is not of the Chi family bloodline and that her actions were her personal behavior and had nothing to do with the Chi family or the Chi Group.

The statement sparked a lively discussion online.

Xie Yaoyao was running while browsing gossip online, while Huo Yanxi was lifting weights not far behind her.

He was wearing a tight-fitting tracksuit, the fabric clinging tightly to his body, revealing his bulging muscles and defined physique, exuding an aura of male hormones.

He was exuding masculine charm, but Xie Yaoyao was only interested in gossiping.

"Mr. Huo, the Chi family has issued a statement saying that Chi Wanwan is not their biological daughter."

"They're really funny. Chi Wanwan caused such a big uproar, and their way of dealing with public opinion is to expel Chi Wanwan from the household registration system. Do they think the public is stupid?"

Huo Yanxi realized that he had been showing off his abs for ages, but it was all for naught. He was speechless.

He put down the dumbbells, picked up a towel from the side, wiped his sweat, and walked towards Xie Yaoyao.

"They didn't treat the public like fools either."

Huo Yanxi stood in front of the treadmill, raising his hand to wipe the sweat from the back of his neck, looking both wild and seductive.

Xie Yaoyao couldn't help but swallow hard. The handsome man wiping his sweat was simply a killer move in the world of seduction.

She's about to get a nosebleed!

Xie Yaoyao quickly looked away, silently reciting in her heart, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

"You mean..." Xie Yaoyao tried hard to get her brain cells working, to make them think, and not to think about Huo Yanxi's beautiful muscle lines.

"Is Chi Wanwan really fake?"

Huo Yanxi nodded, "Yes, she is fake. Secretary Pei met Madam Chi at the paternity testing center and heard that the results showed they were not related by blood."

Xie Yaoyao nodded thoughtfully, "I see. But what will happen if we issue a statement now saying that Chi Wanwan is not the eldest daughter of the Chi family?"

"Based on my limited understanding of Madam Chi, she loves this daughter very much. She is probably just dealing with public opinion and will continue as before."

"So, the expulsion from the household registration is a pretense, and the real purpose is to entertain the public?" Xie Yaoyao pursed her crimson lips.

This is bad.

After all that elaborate scheming, it had absolutely no effect on Chi Wanwan. Wouldn't she be at a huge loss?

Huo Yanxi shook his head. "Not necessarily. This matter will eventually leave a lingering resentment in their hearts. Let's see how things develop."

Huo Yanxi rested one hand on the handrail of the treadmill, tilted his chin slightly, and looked at Xie Yaoyao.

Xie Yaoyao was panting heavily, her cheeks were flushed, and her face and neck were covered in sweat.

Huo Yanxi's lips curled slightly. "Want to take a break and wipe your sweat?"

When Xie Yaoyao saw him getting so close, she felt the air around her thin.

As she ran, she dared not look around, keeping her eyes fixed on the numbers displayed on the dashboard.

She said, "I have ten minutes left to finish the run."

Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes. Such a handsome guy like him was standing in front of her, but she didn't even look at him and was still busy running.

She really has absolutely no sense of romance.

Huo Yanxi subtly moved to the front of the treadmill, blocking her view and making it impossible for her to ignore him.

"With your perseverance, losing weight should be a piece of cake. I'll teach you how to lift weights in a bit."

Xie Yaoyao almost choked on her saliva.

Although Huo Yanxi had been at the gym before, he had never said he would teach her.

Now that he's suddenly volunteering, could there be something fishy going on?

"No need, I'm fine training on my own. Or could you help me find a female coach?"

She dared not get too close to Huo Yanxi, fearing she might lose control and develop inappropriate thoughts about him.

Huo Yanxi's pride was severely wounded; his raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked somewhat dejected.

"Teacher Xie, are you discriminating against men?"

Xie Yaoyao exclaimed, "No, I just felt it was a waste of your talents to have the president of the Huo Group teach me, and I couldn't afford the coaching fees."

"You don't need to pay the coaching fee. If you feel guilty, just consider it an employee benefit."

Xie Yaoyao: "..."

If a company offers such employee benefits, wouldn't its employees be completely devoted and loyal to it?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Yanxi deliberately moved closer and called to her in a deep and alluring voice, "Teacher Xie, what do you think?"

Xie Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, she felt like Huo Yanxi was bewitching her. Could she really resist?

Xie Yaoyao: "Then, I'll accept it without hesitation."

Huo Yanxi seemed extremely satisfied with her answer, and he slowed down the treadmill.

"Then you walk around for a bit, and we'll do strength training in a little while."

Xie Yaoyao: "...Okay, okay."

Is it a bit inappropriate for him to be in such a hurry?

She grabbed a towel hanging on the handrail, wiped the sweat from her neck, and reached for her water glass, but another hand was faster than her.

She almost grabbed his hand.

She quickly pulled back and walked slowly on the treadmill, letting her breathing gradually become even.

Huo Yanxi opened the water glass, touched the rim to check the temperature, and then handed it to her.

"The temperature is just right, you can drink it."

Xie Yaoyao felt that Huo Yanxi was acting extremely abnormally tonight, making her heart pound.

Something is definitely amiss. What scheme is Huo Yanxi setting up to harm her?

But she was penniless, and the few coins she had were beneath his notice. What could he possibly want from her?

"Mr. Huo, aren't you having an overseas video conference today?"

She remembered that every day at this time, Huo Yanxi would hold video conferences with overseas branches.

There's been no movement by the appointed time today, is it not going to be arranged?

"It's the weekend today, and the employees need to rest too." Huo Yanxi saw that she had drunk water and reached out to take the cup from her.

"Now that you're warmed up, let's go get a back massage first."

Xie Yaoyao: "..."

The back-opening action seemed to require physical contact. She remembered Uncle Jian saying that Huo Yanxi was a germaphobe and did not allow any woman to touch him.

He's offering to massage her back now, and she's covered in sweat. Can he handle it?

"Mr. Huo, could you please find me a female coach? I really wouldn't dare trouble you."

"No trouble at all, come on over."

Huo Yanxi walked over to the yoga mat, took out alcohol and a cotton cloth, and wiped the yoga mat clean.

He wiped it very carefully, leaving no small corner untouched.

Xie Yaoyao thought to herself, "Isn't this a germaphobia? Will he be stressed if he touches her with his hands later?"

She stood nervously beside the yoga mat, her expression strained, "Mr. Huo..."

"Sit down, I've already wiped it all down."

Xie Yaoyao gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and sat on the yoga mat. He was determined to teach her; if he reacted negatively later, she couldn't be blamed.

Huo Yanxi knelt behind her, his hands sliding down her fair arms to grasp her wrists and pull her arms open.

His strong chest pressed against the back of her hand, his excessively high body temperature warming her.

A bead of sweat suddenly slid down Xie Yaoyao's neck; she was a little flustered.
