058 Unrealistic Desires
Xie Yaoyao was sweating profusely inside the small house, her cheeks flushed pink.
When she was focused on her work with her head down, her expression was exactly like that of the person in my memory.
Huo Yanxi took out his phone and sent a message to Pei Yan.
[Investigate Xie Yaoyao more thoroughly, including her family background, alma mater, and work experience.]
Pei Yan quickly replied that he had received the message.
Clutching his phone, Huo Yanxi felt he might be terminally ill; otherwise, why would he repeatedly feel that Xie Yaoyao resembled Chi Xiaoman?
Their divorce was such a mess back then.
When Madam Huo took him away, he made a harsh statement, saying that he would sever all ties with her.
He understands Manman.
She was stubborn; once they had separated, she would never appear in front of him again.
But.
It was no coincidence that he repeatedly saw Manman's shadow in Xie Yaoyao.
Check again.
Perhaps he will get a different answer.
After dinner, they headed home.
In the van, Xie Yaoyao and Xie Ziyu sat in the front. Xie Ziyu had been playing all day, and even though he was full of energy, he was a little out of breath.
He fell asleep on Xie Yaoyao's lap shortly after getting in the car.
Xie Yaoyao kissed his sweaty forehead, took out her phone to check the time, and realized that Liang Zhen had called her a few minutes earlier.
Her phone was on silent, so she didn't hear it.
After hesitating for a moment, she still made a call, which was quickly answered.
Liang Zhen's voice rang out in the silent carriage.
"Yaoyao, the showerhead at home is leaking a bit. Where is the toolbox? I've looked all over but can't find it."
Xie Yaoyao's fingers tightened slightly, and she lowered her voice, "Check under the TV cabinet?"
"We've looked, but it's not there."
Xie Yaoyao tried hard to recall when she last used the toolbox. "Then look over there where Yubao's toys are piled up. I might have accidentally put them there."
"Okay, I'll look for it." Liang Zhen said without hanging up, and Xie Yaoyao could hear him moving the toy box on the other end.
Liang Zhen asked, "Yaoyao, am I disturbing your rest at this hour?"
Xie Yaoyao: "It's okay, we just left Disneyland and are on our way back."
"No wonder it's so quiet. I thought you were already resting." Liang Zhen was a little out of breath from exhaustion.
"Did you find it?" Xie Yaoyao asked.
There was a rustling sound coming from over there. Liang Zhen saw the toolbox but said, "Not yet, and not here either, not in the toy box."
Xie Yaoyao frowned. "Then go check the kitchen. If you really can't find it, go downstairs and borrow from the neighbor in apartment 203. Just say it's Teacher Xie's apartment, and she'll lend it to you."
Liang Zhen chuckled, "So when she asked me who I am to you, could I say I'm your husband?"
Back row.
Huo Yanxi closed his eyes to rest, but he could clearly hear Xie Yaoyao and her husband's conversation.
A man's teasing voice came from behind him, and he silently opened his eyes.
He was very tall, and from his angle, he could see Xie Yaoyao's rounded back of the head.
His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only his slightly clenched fists betrayed a hint of his feelings.
Xie Yaoyao felt a chill on the back of her neck for no apparent reason, and she reached up to touch it.
"Did you find it?" she asked.
Seeing that she was avoiding answering his question, Liang Zhen sighed softly, "Found it, it's under the stove."
"That's good. You should get some rest. I'm hanging up now."
"Yaoyao." Liang Zhen suddenly called out to her, but Xie Yaoyao did not hang up or make a sound.
Liang Zhen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I'm not leaving this time I'm back in China. Yao Yao, I'm not getting any younger, and my mom keeps urging me to have a child. Can we not get a divorce?"
Xie Yaoyao gripped her phone tightly. Thinking of Huo Yanxi sitting in the back row, she was afraid of saying too much and making a mistake, so she said calmly, "Let's talk about it when I get back."
"Okay, then think about it carefully during this time. I'll wait for your reply."
Xie Yaoyao hung up the phone, her feelings were complicated.
Liang Zhen's return to China was unexpected, and his desire to continue their relationship was even more unexpected.
She couldn't understand it.
With Liang Zhen's current status, he could have any beautiful woman he wanted, so why would he settle for a fat woman with a child?
The carriage was very quiet.
The high-end customized van drove smoothly forward, and Xie Yaoyao glanced back subtly.
She secretly went to look at Huo Yanxi, who was sitting in the back row.
The lamplight flickered, and Xie Yaoyao and Huo Yanxi's silent eyes met.
Caught peeping, she froze in embarrassment, and it took her a long time to find her voice again.
"Mr. Huo, you're not asleep? Did my call disturb you?"
Huo Yanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes, beneath his cold brows, flickered with an unreadable emotion.
He didn't say anything.
Xie Yaoyao felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and quickly turned her face away.
My heart was pounding.
It's getting stranger and stranger why Huo Yanxi looks at her like that.
An hour later, the nanny van drove into No. 22 Victoria Peak.
The villa was brightly lit. Uncle Jian came out to greet them, followed by a slender and tall figure.
Huo Yanxi got off the car first.
Chi Wanwan walked over quickly, her smile bright and beautiful. "Yanxi, it's been a long time."
Huo Yanxi stepped aside, avoiding Chi Wanwan's outstretched hand that was trying to take his arm, and strode into the villa.
Chi Wanwan stood there stunned, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xie Yaoyao carried Xie Ziyu downstairs. Chi Wanwan heard the noise and turned around. When she saw Xie Yaoyao, she frowned.
My aunt once said that Huo Yanxi had a private tutor living in their house, and Huo Yanxi treated her very specially.
She had initially assumed Xie Yaoyao was young and beautiful, but upon seeing Xie Yaoyao's curvy figure, she suddenly felt much more confident.
How could Huo Yanxi have fallen for this fat guy?
Chi Wanwan looked at Xie Yaoyao with an arrogant air, "You must be Teacher Xie. Hello, I am Yanxi's fiancée, my name is Chi Wanwan."
Xie Yaoyao was rooted to the spot by the words "fiancée".
Four years ago, she knew that Huo Yanxi was engaged to the Chi family, but she only met the person in person today.
She looked up at Chi Wanwan.
Chi Wan-wan is very beautiful, possessing the standard look of a Miss Hong Kong, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and a bright, dignified, and elegant demeanor.
If this face were a little more youthful, it would look vaguely familiar.
Because she looks a bit like Chi Xiaoman from five years ago.
Xie Yaoyao held the sleeping Xie Ziyu in her arms, unable to free her hand to shake hers.
"Miss Chi."
Chi Wanwan withdrew her hand, not taking Xie Yaoyao seriously, after all, she was confident in her looks and figure.
In particular, she has a face that looks about five parts like Chi Xiaoman.
With that face alone, Huo Yanxi couldn't refuse her.
Chi Wanwan's red lips curved slightly, "I heard that Teacher Xie is very popular with Yanxi?"
Xie Yaoyao saw a hint of superiority in Chi Wanwan's arrogant expression.
It's not just about her figure and appearance, but also about her family background.
She always felt superior to others.
Xie Yaoyao: "Taking money from people and solving their problems is just part of the job."
Chi Wanwan leaned forward slightly, her voice carrying a warning: "Then please remember, Teacher Xie, you're here to work, don't harbor any improper thoughts."
