Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Yu Chaoxi turned into a cat.
The snow-white plush toy lay listlessly on the bed, its round, brown cat eyes staring defiantly at the culprit.
"Meow!" Come here if you dare!
I refuse to believe that Huo Linyuan can do anything to her!
In the end, the man still managed to pull her over and kiss her several times. Huo Linyuan stared at her and said quietly, "Perfect, we can give it a try..."
Before he could finish speaking, the cat was so frightened that its fur stood on end.
Is this even a human being?
Yu Chaoxi quickly transformed back into a human in a flash.
Huo Linyuan chuckled softly.
Yu Chaoxi was so angry that her teeth itched, and she bit his shoulder hard, leaving two rows of teeth marks.
...
When Yu Chaoxi woke up the next day, she felt like her back didn't belong to her anymore.
She sat up, rubbing her aching back, and glared at the culprit next to her, who was dressed neatly and ready to go to work.
"It's all your fault!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Huo Linyuan put down his tie and came over to rub her back. He admitted his mistake very quickly, "It's my fault. I lacked self-control. I'll accept whatever punishment you want, my dear."
"Then you'll be punished by sleeping in the study for the next three days!"
"...Apart from this."
Having tasted the sweetness of life, how could Huo Linyuan possibly willingly sleep in the study?
Yu Chaoxi turned her head away and ignored him. This person only admitted his mistake verbally, but didn't actually think he was wrong at all!
Huo Linyuan lowered his head and kissed her. "Sweetie, I have to go to work now. I contacted the person in charge at D company, and someone will be sending over the latest seasonal styles in a bit. Take a look and keep whichever ones you like, okay?"
Hearing that he was about to leave, Yu Chaoxi nodded reluctantly and kissed him, "I'll bring you lunch!"
"good."
Because of Yu Chaoxi's words, Huo Linyuan was in a very good mood all morning.
He never understood the meaning of family before. His parents' marriage was an arranged marriage; they went their separate ways when they were young and would occasionally argue. His mother never appeared in his father's office, let alone bring him meals. His older brother and sister-in-law's marriage was also an arranged marriage; they treated each other with polite formalities but had little affection for each other.
It was through Yu Chaoxi that she truly understood what it meant to have someone at home who cared about her. Just thinking about how someone was waiting for him to come home every day, and would even bring him meals on a whim, filled Huo Linyuan's heart with joy and contentment.
So much so that throughout the morning, the employees of the Huo Group noticed that President Huo was in a very good mood. Specifically, during the meeting, when a manager missed writing in his quarterly report, President Huo was not angry. He simply asked the manager to go back and complete it before submitting it.
The manager was flattered; in the past, such a situation would have inevitably resulted in a reprimand.
Inside Lanyue Bay.
After Huo Linyuan went to work, Yu Chaoxi lay down for a while before getting up.
The person in charge of D's company happened to deliver the clothes.
D is one of the top high-end clothing brands in China. In the past, even someone of Yu Chaoxi's status couldn't borrow a single piece of clothing. But Huo Linyuan made a phone call and had dozens of outfits respectfully delivered for her to choose from.
Yu Chaoxi clenched her fist, feeling extremely envious of these despicable capitalists!
She picked out several formal dresses and a few casual outfits. Then she and Aunt Chen made lunch, packed it into lunchboxes, and seeing that it was almost time, Yu Chaoxi set off to Huo's Group to find Huo Linyuan.
Assistant Lin had already received instructions from Huo Linyuan, so as soon as Yu Chaoxi arrived downstairs, Assistant Lin went down to bring her up and told the receptionist that this was President Huo's girlfriend and that she could be brought up directly from now on.
After everyone got on the elevator, the company's group chat immediately erupted in excitement.
[Ahhh! President Huo and Xi Xi are real! When I watched the dating show, I thought it was just a publicity stunt! Assistant Lin even came downstairs to take Xi Xi upstairs just now! I've found a real couple!]
No wonder Mr. Huo was in such a good mood today; it turns out his girlfriend brought him lunch early!
Honestly, President Huo and Yu Chaoxi are a perfect match!
I can't even imagine how beautiful their children would be!
[I can't imagine how visually appealing their childbirth process must be!]
Assistant Lin, [...]?
[Oops! I forgot that Assistant Lin is also in the group chat!]
The next second, Assistant Lin was removed from the group chat.
Assistant Lin, "..."
Yu Chaoxi arrived at the office and waited for a short while before Huo Linyuan's meeting ended.
He rushed back, opened the door, and saw the little girl sitting obediently on the sofa playing on her phone. Hearing the sound, the little girl looked up at the door, her brown eyes shining brightly.
Huo Linyuan's brows relaxed slightly, and he strode over to take her hand. "Have you been waiting long?"
Yu Chaoxi shook her head, "I just arrived too. Come and try it, Chen Sao and I made this together. I made some too!"
Yu Chaoxi's eyes sparkled, and she raised her little face, looking for praise.
A smile flashed in Huo Linyuan's eyes as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Good girl, you're so great."
For some reason, hearing his words reminded Yu Chaoxi of the night before when, in the heat of passion, this man had said the same thing…
A blush spread across her fair skin. Yu Chaoxi quickly opened the box and took out the food inside. She had prepared two portions, just enough for her and Huo Linyuan to eat together.
While eating, Yu Chaoxi brought up serious business with Huo Linyuan.
"I want to terminate my contract with Tiantian Entertainment."
Tiantian Entertainment is the small company she works for now. The original owner of this body was tricked into signing a five-year contract, and this is only the third year.
It's one thing for a small company to have limited resources, but when Yu Chaoxi was being attacked online, the company's executives and agent didn't try to help her clarify the situation. Instead, they listened to Huo Jincheng's advice and stopped all of her resources, effectively blacklisting her.
Huo Linyuan also felt that her current company was unreliable. He remembered that Huo's Group also had an entertainment company called Fenghua Entertainment, which seemed to be doing quite well.
"Let Assistant Lin handle the contract termination. As for the new company, how about we consider Feng Hua Entertainment? It's a company under the Huo Group."
Feng Hua Entertainment?
Yu Chaoxi remembered that Ji Xinxin was from this company; Huo Jincheng had signed her up.
This is no coincidence!
She excitedly hummed in agreement and happily thanked him, "Thank you, honey!"
The two words made Huo Linyuan freeze, abandoning his meal, and his deep gaze fell on Yu Chaoxi's face.
Yu Chaoxi was oblivious to what she had just said. She winked playfully and urged him, "Eat quickly."
"I don't want to eat anymore."
Yu Chaoxi asked in confusion, "Why? Is it not to your liking?"
He was enjoying his meal just now!
Huo Linyuan's Adam's apple bobbed. "I want to eat you."
Yu Chaoxi belatedly realized that in her excitement, she seemed to have said something that made this man want to lose his humanity again!
"No! I need to go back this afternoon to move my things out of the rented room!" she refused firmly.
After finishing her meal, she hurriedly left with her bag. Huo Linyuan sent two people to accompany her back to her rented apartment to help her move her things.
As soon as Yu Chaoxi stepped out of the elevator, a domineering female voice rang out.
"You brat! Where have you been?!"
