166 The Surprise for Him
Huo Yanxi has a social engagement tonight, a banquet for exchanges between business and political circles, which he cannot miss.
The banquet ended at 11 o'clock.
He inevitably drank a couple more glasses of wine, and Pei Yan helped him into the car; his eyelids were already very heavy.
A woman in a low-cut dress was sitting in the car, and she leaned over to ingratiate herself.
"Mr. Huo, are you feeling unwell? Let me massage your temples."
She reached out her hand, but Huo Yanxi slapped it away without hesitation the next second.
His expression was cold and sharp. "How did you end up in my car?"
He had seen this woman at the banquet; she had been following a high-ranking official.
The woman was hurt by the slap, and looked at Huo Yanxi with teary eyes, pleading in a coquettish voice, "Mr. Huo, you hurt me."
Huo Yanxi, with a cold face, pushed open the car door and got out. He said to Pei Yan, who was standing outside the car, "Go and find out who put the person in my car."
The last time Pei Yan saw Huo Yanxi get angry was the last time, so he quickly said, "I'll go check right away."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Huo Yanxi said with a stern face, "Arrange another car for me, and then send her back to where she should go."
In the business world, many people have tried to sway him with their beauty, but no one has ever succeeded in doing so over the years.
Pei Yan nodded hurriedly, "Okay, my car is parked in the parking lot, let Uncle Lin take you home first."
Huo Yanxi left with Uncle Lin.
Even after getting into the car, he could still seem to smell the strong perfume on himself.
He rolled down the car window, letting the night breeze in and dilute the scent of his perfume.
He frowned and said, "Uncle Lin, from now on, we shouldn't give the car keys to anyone when we drive out."
Tonight's event is hosted by the political sector; cars are parked by designated staff.
That's probably why the woman saw an opportunity to get into his car.
Seeing that his brows were furrowed so deeply that they looked like they could trap a fly, Uncle Lin didn't dare say anything more and simply agreed.
Huo Yanxi leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and the pungent smell of perfume still lingered in his nostrils.
His brow furrowed.
It stinks!
If Manman smells this when he gets back, she might misunderstand and think he's flirting with other women.
How annoying!
The car drove into the Arc de Triomphe underground parking garage and stopped in front of their apartment building.
Huo Yanxi got out of the car, carrying his suit jacket, and took the elevator upstairs.
It was almost midnight. The house was quiet, with the porch light on. Huo Yanxi changed his shoes in the entryway.
He tugged at his clothes and sniffed; the strong perfume scent was still there. He frowned in annoyance.
Wearing such strong perfume, do you think everyone has sinusitis?
He took a shower, which sobered him up considerably, and went to Xie Yaoyao's room with his hair still wet.
The door was wide open, but no one was in bed.
He frowned, glanced at the time on his phone; it was already 12:30. She never came home past this time.
Did something happen?
Now he was completely sober, and quickly grabbed his phone to make a call.
A moment later, he heard the ringing of the bell; the sound was a little far away, as if it were coming from his bedroom.
He paused for a moment, then hung up the phone and walked towards his room, clutching his phone.
The door was slightly ajar. Huo Yanxi pushed the door open and saw that the light blanket on his bed was slightly raised.
His heart was instantly filled with joy.
He went inside, closed the door behind him, thought for a moment, and then locked it to prevent anyone from breaking in.
He walked to the bedside and, by the warm light of the bedside lamp, looked at the person curled up on his bed.
She was fast asleep and had no idea he had returned.
Huo Yanxi rested his chin on his arms, tilting his head to look at her sleeping face, which he found adorable no matter how he looked at it.
"Wife..."
He reached out and gently traced the contours of her face with his fingers. Seeing her curled eyelashes, he couldn't resist touching them with his finger.
Perhaps feeling itchy, Xie Yaoyao buried her cheek in the pillow and rubbed it.
Huo Yanxi chuckled to himself.
"So cute."
Xie Yaoyao seemed to hear his voice, and opened her eyes drowsily, her voice still hoarse with sleepiness.
"Huo Yanxi, you're back?"
Huo Yanxi leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "Yes, I'm back."
Xie Yaoyao smiled faintly, "Why are you only coming back now? I prepared a surprise for you..."
She eventually put on the gauze dress that Monica had bought for her.
When she saw herself in the mirror, her cheeks were burning red; the clothes really couldn't cover anything.
Fortunately, Yu Bao was already asleep, and she was the only one at home. She quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to Huo Yanxi's room to wait for him to come back and open the gifts.
Huo Yanxi heard her mumbled voice, "What surprise?"
Xie Yaoyao was feeling very sleepy. She shook her head. "There are no more surprises now. I want to sleep..."
Huo Yanxi was a little disappointed, but seeing that she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, he thought that he could give her the surprise tomorrow.
He reached out and touched her face. "Then go to sleep."
After saying that, he got up and went to the dressing room to dry his hair with a hairdryer. When he came out, he turned off the light, lifted the covers and got into bed, lying down next to Xie Yaoyao.
He reached his hand under the covers, wanting to pull the person next to him into his arms.
When his palm touched the other person's warm body, he suddenly froze.
It felt silky smooth to the touch, unlike the texture of her usual pajamas.
Huo Yanxi's breathing became heavier as he traced the curves of her body.
Those were definitely not Xie Yaoyao's usual pajamas.
He gasped for breath, not caring whether the person in his arms was asleep or not. He turned on the bedside lamp and then pulled back the covers.
The scene before him almost made him have a nosebleed.
How can she be so beautiful?
Huo Yanxi didn't even dare to blink, fearing that everything before him was just his illusion.
When the blanket was pulled back, Xie Yaoyao felt a chill and curled herself up even tighter.
"cold……"
Huo Yanxi watched her rubbing against the sheets, and he was about to explode.
What a nice view!
His eyes were fixed on her, his aggressive gaze taking her in from head to toe.
Xie Yaoyao seemed to sense danger and was about to turn her back to Huo Yanxi when he stopped her with a hand.
His breath was hot as he pulled her into his arms, his arms around her waist. "Baby, do you want to kill me?"
No one could ever make him so impulsive; just looking at her made him want to stir-fry her.
Xie Yaoyao: "I want to sleep..."
"You want to sleep after teasing me?" Huo Yanxi felt like his breath was about to spontaneously combust.
He leaned in and kissed her lips. "Neither of us will be sleeping tonight."
Xie Yaoyao was very sleepy, but Huo Yanxi woke her up with a kiss.
Under the warm light, Xie Yaoyao's skin glowed white, and the gray-pink gauze dress she wore shimmered under the light.
She came to the human world like an innocent mermaid.
Stay for this human being.
Huo Yanxi went completely mad that night, utterly captivated, and the bedroom light remained on until dawn.
