139 Sweet Kiss
Seeing her staring straight ahead, Huo Yanxi asked gently, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Xie Yaoyao slowly came back to her senses.
She gently shook her head. "No, I just thought everything was a dream."
Huo Yanxi glanced at the next room and saw that Uncle Jian was watching cartoons with Xie Ziyu.
Neither of them noticed this.
He suddenly leaned over and kissed Xie Yaoyao's lips, and Xie Yaoyao's eyes widened.
Huo Yanxi held her lips in his mouth, his tongue conquering and plundering, savoring her taste.
Xie Yaoyao's cheeks were burning hot. She raised her hand and placed it on his chest, as if she wanted to push him away.
"Hmm..."
This isn't a deserted area; the flight attendants are all here. You can see what they're doing just by looking this way.
Huo Yanxi took a small sip and then parted their lips, their breaths slightly ragged.
"Does it feel more real now?"
Xie Yaoyao didn't expect that he would suddenly kiss her because of this, and she scratched her head awkwardly.
"Mr. Huo, please don't kiss me all the time."
They're not in a relationship where they can kiss casually right now.
Huo Yanxi kissing her would make her feel overwhelmed.
Huo Yanxi was in a good mood at the moment, so he replied, "Okay, I'll ask for your opinion before I kiss you in the future."
Xie Yaoyao: "...That's not what I meant, I meant..."
The plane had already come to a stop in front of the jet bridge, and a flight attendant came over to remind them.
"Mr. Huo, Ms. Xie, the plane has come to a stop and you may disembark."
Huo Yanxi stood up. "Let's go."
Seeing his expression that he didn't want to talk anymore, Xie Yaoyao sighed inwardly.
What exactly is Huo Yanxi trying to do?
He used to ignore her, and even when they shared a bed, he would try to sleep close to the edge of the bed.
He was afraid of running into her.
She always thought that he didn't want any physical contact with her.
Because he didn't love her, he refused to have marital relations with her.
Xie Ziyu had already been carried off the plane by Uncle Jian. Xie Yaoyao, because of the kiss earlier, was a little afraid to look Huo Yanxi in the eye.
She lowered her head and silently moved toward the cabin door.
So she didn't see Huo Yanxi's hand reaching out to her, nor did she know that he wanted to hold her hand.
Huo Yanxi watched her leave in silence, then glanced down at his own hand, which was frozen in mid-air.
The flight attendants all felt an invisible awkwardness, and lowered their eyelids, not daring to look at Huo Yanxi's expression.
Huo Yanxi gave a self-deprecating laugh, withdrew his hand, and strode after him.
After crossing the jet bridge, they walked through the empty airport terminal and went directly down to the underground parking lot via the VIP passage.
Old Lin was waiting there in his car.
At 2:30 a.m. local time, Xie Ziyu had already fallen asleep on Uncle Jian's shoulder.
After the group got into the car, Xie Yaoyao said, "Uncle Lin, could you please take us back to the Arc de Triomphe residential area?"
Xie Yaoyao's new apartment is located near the Arc de Triomphe, in Tsim Sha Tsui, with a direct view of Victoria Harbour's nightscape.
Old Lin subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, seeking Huo Yanxi's opinion.
Huo Yanxi nodded almost imperceptibly. Now that he and Xie Yaoyao had broken through that barrier, he wasn't afraid that she would run away.
Moreover, he didn't want to push her too hard, lest he force her into a rebellious state of mind.
After two days on the run, Xie Yaoyao returned to this familiar land, her feelings a mix of emotions.
She didn't dare to look at Huo Yanxi sitting next to her.
"You're going to school tomorrow, so I'll take Yubao to kindergarten."
Xie Yaoyao turned to look at Huo Yanxi, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
“Yu Bao is also my son. I missed his growth and I really want to make it up to him.”
Xie Yaoyao was somewhat moved upon hearing this.
"If it's not too much trouble for you, then I'll leave Yu Bao in your care," Xie Yaoyao said.
Seeing that she was finally no longer just looking at the night view outside the window, Huo Yanxi asked, "Which kindergarten did Yubao attend before?"
Xie Yaoyao said, "The affiliated kindergarten of São Paulo."
"This kindergarten is good, but it's a public kindergarten. Should we switch him to a private one?"
Private education is naturally of a higher standard.
However, Xie Yaoyao shook her head, "No need to change. Yubao attends the St. Paul's Affiliated Kindergarten, which makes it convenient for me to pick him up. Changing to another school would be too troublesome."
In addition, she didn't have a car.
Even if you have a car, that time of day is rush hour, and traffic jams are likely.
Besides, she has to teach a class, so she doesn't have much time to pick up and drop off her child at school.
“The private kindergarten has a shuttle bus that covers almost the entire district. If you’re worried about that, I can move in with you and I’ll take care of picking you up and dropping you off.”
Huo Yanxi went around in circles, but what he really wanted to say was just this last sentence.
He wants to move in with Manman and the others.
If she refuses to live in his big house, he can live in her sunroom.
Xie Yaoyao refused without hesitation, "No, my house is too small."
There's no room for Huo Yanxi, this giant Buddha statue.
Besides, he's a celebrity in the whole city. What would she say if she ran into her neighbor in the elevator?
Huo Yanxi pursed his thin lips. "I can sleep on the sofa, or even on a makeshift bed on the floor."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
Does he really have to compromise like this?
"Mr. Huo, you can stay in your big house. I will take good care of Yu Bao. If you want to see him on the weekend, you can send someone to pick him up."
She couldn't stop the father and son from seeing each other.
"But I want to live with you." Huo Yanxi was like a willful child at this moment.
Xie Yaoyao frowned at him, "President Huo, even if I am Chi Xiaoman, nothing can change between us."
When Huo Yanxi heard her say such things, he knew that if he continued to pester her, she would say even more heartless things.
He had long since experienced her ruthlessness and cruelty.
He stared out the car window with a tense expression, pursing his lips and remaining silent.
The streetlights occasionally shone on him, revealing a gloomy aura surrounding him.
Xie Yaoyao knew she had spoken too harshly, but she didn't want to change anything.
Her withdrawal five years ago caused her immense suffering.
Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and sob uncontrollably.
If she hadn't been pregnant with Yu Bao, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on at all.
The atmosphere inside the car was extremely tense. Fortunately, Xie Ziyu was asleep and didn't hear their conversation.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Arc de Triomphe residential area.
Uncle Jian stood by the roadside with Doubao and Xie Yaoyao's suitcase, waiting for her to get off the bus.
He was in the car behind his bodyguard.
Huo Yanxi carried the sleeping Xie Ziyu out of the car, and Xie Yaoyao also crawled out of the car.
She stood by the roadside, intending to help Xie Ziyu up, but Huo Yanxi said, "I'll take you upstairs."
Xie Yaoyao glanced at the time. "It's too late, Mr. Huo. You should go home and rest early."
When Huo Yanxi heard her use honorifics again, he understood that she wanted to distance herself from him.
But……
From the moment he recognized her, she could no longer distance herself from him.
"Uncle Jian, please take them upstairs."
Uncle Jian hurried over and took Xie Ziyu from Huo Yanxi. Xie Yaoyao thanked Huo Yanxi and then pulled her suitcase into the residential area.
Huo Yanxi watched their backs disappear from sight, then took out a pack of cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and felt annoyed.
A pale blue flame lit up, igniting the cigarette. He took a deep drag and slowly exhaled the smoke.
The smoke blurred his features, as well as the intense obsession and possessiveness in his eyes.
He finally found her, so why would he let her go so easily?
