092 Paternity Test Results
Si Bao'er's slap didn't land on Xie Yaoyao's face as expected; it was intercepted in mid-air by a large, well-defined hand.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the person who had come, her eyes filled with joy, "Brother Yanxi, you've come."
Huo Yanxi flung her hand away and turned slightly to shield Xie Yaoyao behind him.
"Who did you want to make look bad just now?"
When Si Bao'er saw his protective posture, she felt flustered and her face flushed.
"I... I was just joking. Sister Xie, please don't overthink it. You were brought by Brother Yanxi. I was just afraid you would take advantage of Brother Yanxi, so I spoke rudely to test you. I didn't mean anything by it."
Si Bao'er wasn't stupid; she didn't want to leave Huo Yanxi with the impression of being jealous and abusive.
After saying that, she walked up to Huo Yanxi and tried to take his arm. "Brother Yanxi, I have already apologized to Sister Xie. I went too far with my joke."
Huo Yanxi avoided her hand, his gaze icy. "Did you apologize?"
Si Bao'er's hand missed its target. Noticing that many people around her were looking at her, she felt embarrassed and her cheeks burned.
She had originally intended to gloss over the matter, but Huo Yanxi gave her no chance to do so.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Xie Yaoyao, "Sister Xie, I'm sorry, I was just afraid you would embarrass Brother Yanxi."
When Xie Yaoyao heard that her apology was tinged with personal agenda, she said calmly, "Just call me Teacher Xie. I'm an only child, I don't have a younger sister."
Si Bao'er's face flushed red and then turned pale, a mist welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Huo Yanxi with tears in her eyes.
“Brother Yanxi, I really treat Sister Xie like my own sister, and her saying this makes me really sad.”
Huo Yanxi said coldly, "Please call me Mr. Huo. I don't have a sister either."
Si Bao'er: "..."
She was completely humiliated, feeling like everyone was looking at her with mockery. She covered her face and ran away crying.
Xie Yaoyao raised her eyebrows, looked at Huo Yanxi's cold expression, and clicked her tongue.
"President Huo really has no mercy for women."
If such a beautiful woman, so lovely and pitiful, stood in front of him, and he wasn't moved at all, is it because he's impotent?
As Xie Yaoyao thought about it, she remembered their first time.
That night, they tossed and turned from the bed to the bathroom. Later, he made her hold his shirt in her mouth, then pinned her against the wall, and it went on and on.
This person... doesn't seem like they're incapable.
Huo Yanxi looked down at her and said, "To pity and cherish everyone is the behavior of a scumbag."
If you don't like someone, don't flirt with them; this is the most basic rule for a man.
Xie Yaoyao snorted, "You're quite principled, but you didn't ask me to be your date today just to ward off these unwanted suitors, did you?"
"No," Huo Yanxi denied, then added, "Guess?"
Xie Yaoyao could never see through him before, and she couldn't see through him even more now. "I can't guess."
Huo Yanxi didn't expect her to use her brain. "Are you full?"
"not yet."
Huo Yanxi took a plate of boiled shrimp, wiped his hands with a wet wipe, and stood there peeling the shrimp shells.
Xie Yaoyao stood next to him, staring blankly at his hands.
Huo Yanxi's hands are very beautiful, with distinct knuckles. For someone with a hand fetish, these hands are truly sexually appealing.
He peeled a plate of shrimp, placed it in front of Xie Yaoyao, and said, "Eat less sweets and more shrimp to supplement your protein intake."
Xie Yaoyao was a little flattered, "You peeled it for me?"
"What do you think?" Huo Yanxi asked, wiping his fingers with a wet wipe instead of answering.
Xie Yaoyao wrinkled her nose. "Then I'll gladly accept it."
Huo Yanxi glanced at the food area and asked, "What else would you like to eat? I'll go get it for you."
"I want to eat the salmon over there, and the sushi, and the tuna, and..."
She listed more than ten dishes, which gave Huo Yanxi a headache. At this rate, she would never lose a single pound in her life.
Huo Yanxi made three or four trips before finally bringing the food she wanted to her.
Xie Yaoyao beamed, "Thank you, President Huo. You are truly my second parents. You are so good to me. I will definitely take care of you in the future."
Huo Yanxi: "..."
Is the word "filial piety" appropriate to use here?
The two stood in the corner, one eating with great gusto, the other watching quietly, and there was a sense of tranquility about their time together.
Many people were looking this way, after all, Huo Yanxi was the focus of the crowd.
Neither men nor women would let such a big piece of gossip go unnoticed.
Someone asked, "Who is that woman? Mr. Huo even peeled shrimp for her himself. Could she be Mrs. Huo? Mr. Huo's taste is too unusual."
"It's more than just heavy. No wonder he doesn't like so many socialites and heiresses. It turns out he likes this type."
"I dieted desperately and even wore a corset when I came here, trying to make my waist as thin as a hand, but I didn't expect to lose to a big fat person, so it's hard to give a good review."
"Who would have thought that President Huo's tastes are so perverse? Do you think President Huo can even lift her up? Could it be that President Huo is a pampered husband and the one who gets carried?"
"Uh... don't scare me like that, it makes me think of a fourth love, my Mr. Huo can't be the one down there."
The group's discussion gradually became distorted.
Huo Yanxi's phone suddenly vibrated. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the caller ID.
Xie Yaoyao peeked at his phone and said, "It's Secretary Pei. You should answer his call."
Huo Yanxi did not leave immediately; he looked at Xie Yaoyao meaningfully.
Xie Yaoyao felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Huo Yanxi knew that Pei Yan was calling to tell him the results of the paternity test.
He stared into Xie Yaoyao's eyes, his gaze flickering. "Teacher Xie, are you hiding something from me?"
Xie Yaoyao blinked, looking completely innocent. "No way, my secret snacking these past few days has been exposed?"
Huo Yanxi stood upright, exuding a refined and noble air. He looked down at her with a dignified and aloof gaze.
"Are you sure you're not hiding anything from me?"
Xie Yaoyao felt that he was acting strangely, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, his phone kept ringing. "You should answer the phone. Secretary Pei might have something urgent to tell you."
Huo Yanxi's expression turned dejected in an instant.
He knew he was clear-headed and rational.
From the moment he decided to do a paternity test with Xie Ziyu, he was almost certain that she was Chi Xiaoman.
But he still hoped that she could tell him the paternity test results in person.
But... he was disappointed.
If he hadn't noticed something amiss, she might never have recognized him.
Once summer vacation is over, he will take Xie Ziyu and leave his world, leaving gracefully and decisively.
Just like five years ago, she didn't want him.
Huo Yanxi stared at her calmly and coldly for a few seconds until Pei Yan called again. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "Stand here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to come back."
When he comes back, things will be settled between them.
