170 Mr. Huo is my ex-husband.
Xie Yaoyao opened the wooden lunchbox in front of her. It had three layers. The first layer had nine compartments, each containing Longjingxuan's most representative dim sum.
The second tier features hot dishes, while the third tier showcases seafood; both are exquisitely presented.
When she heard that all the teachers in the school had it, she knew who was responsible.
However, instead of coming forward to claim it, she took a picture and sent it to Huo Yanxi.
Huo Yanxi replied almost instantly, "Do you like it?"
Xie Yaoyao had a meal with Huo Yanxi a couple of days ago and told him that she liked Long Jingxuan's abalone butterfly pastry.
He was clearly very busy at the time, but unexpectedly, he listened and kept it in mind.
Xie Yaoyao smiled and replied, "I like it, thank you, husband."
After sending the text message, Huo Yanxi stared blankly at the words "husband," her eyes growing increasingly hot.
He pressed the voice button and sent a voice message: "Manman, send a voice message of what you just said."
Xie Yaoyao didn't dare listen to the voice message. She converted it to text and saw Huo Yanxi's words. Her ears burned.
Honestly, she only calls him "husband" when she's been worn down by him in bed and begs for mercy.
She never called him by his full name normally, and occasionally she would call him President Huo.
She felt a little ashamed.
With so many teachers in the office, she felt embarrassed to send voice messages in front of everyone.
She picked up her phone, got up, went outside, found a quiet place, and sent a voice message.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and Huo Yanxi played that part on repeat, his lips curving upwards with each listen.
The lavish lunch sparked a discussion among all the teachers in the school about which teacher had caught the eye of the big shot.
Only Principal Yang's mind was as clear as a mirror.
He called Xie Yaoyao to the principal's office and kindly made her a cup of tea.
"Teacher Xie, what's the current situation between you and President Huo?"
It's no wonder that Principal Yang immediately thought of Xie Yaoyao; there was really no one in the school who had any connection with Huo Yanxi.
Only Xie Yaoyao went to the Huo family as a tutor for two months, and when she came back, she was different again.
If it were Xie Yaoyao from two months ago, even if he had to swallow his pride, he wouldn't dare to connect the two of them.
But Xie Yaoyao is now the most beautiful girl in their school, so beautiful that it's hard to keep your eyes open.
Xie Yaoyao feigned ignorance, "What's going on, Principal Yang?"
Principal Yang said, "Wasn't it because of you that President Huo delivered meals to all the teachers today?"
Xie Yaoyao chuckled, "Is it possible that President Huo is doing charity work?"
"Don't try to fool me. I've racked my brains, and you're the only one in the whole school worth him spending a fortune on." Principal Yang wasn't fooled by her.
Xie Yaoyao sighed, "Principal Yang, please don't pry into the details."
Principal Yang was also worried about Xie Yaoyao. It was said that she had no relatives or friends, was raising her child alone, and apparently had a husband living abroad.
If she gets involved with Huo Yanxi, what will happen if her cheap husband comes back to China and causes trouble at the school?
"Teacher Xie, you need to handle your personal relationship issues well. You are currently in the rising stage of your career, and I have high hopes for your abilities. Don't ruin your future because of personal relationship problems."
Xie Yaoyao knew what Principal Yang was worried about, and she said, "No, I know what I'm doing."
Principal Yang sighed, "I know you young people don't care about anything when you're in love, but I hope you won't let it affect your personal reputation. You know that as a teacher, you have to educate and nurture students, and you can't have any moral flaws."
“I know,” Xie Yaoyao said.
Seeing that she didn't intend to acknowledge her relationship with Huo Yanxi, Principal Yang said, "I really didn't expect President Huo to like your type."
He sent Xie Yaoyao to the Huo family at the time simply because she looked safe.
Firstly, she wouldn't be bold enough to seduce Huo Yanxi, and secondly, Huo Yanxi probably wouldn't be interested in her.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Xie Yaoyao caught Huo Yanxi's eye.
"Teacher Xie, there are some things I shouldn't be saying, but I don't mean any harm. I just want to give you a heads-up."
Xie Yaoyao listened attentively, "Principal Yang, please speak."
"What kind of person is Huo Yanxi? He might just be a novelty to you. Don't be foolish enough to give him your heart. If he gets tired of you and leaves, it won't be worth the pain."
Xie Yaoyao hadn't expected that Principal Yang's words were all for her benefit.
She said, "Principal Yang, my relationship with President Huo is not the kind you think it is, and the outcome you don't want to see will not happen."
Seeing that she seemed determined to get involved, Principal Yang didn't try to persuade her any further.
"Teacher Xie, you should take care of yourself."
As Xie Yaoyao got up to leave, she thought of how Principal Yang had taken care of her and didn't want to worry this elder.
She turned around and said, "Actually, Mr. Huo is my ex-husband."
Principal Yang's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Xie Yaoyao in disbelief.
Xie Yaoyao simply smiled calmly, turned around and walked out of the principal's office.
Principal Yang was extremely shocked. He thought, "No wonder Huo Yanxi took a liking to Xie Yaoyao. It turns out they've reconciled after a broken relationship."
Xie Yaoyao had no classes in the afternoon, so she bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the Huo Group.
She wanted to surprise Huo Yanxi, so she only contacted Pei Yan.
When she arrived at the Huo Group building, a black Lincoln happened to stop in front of her.
The driver got out and opened the back door, and a lady stepped out of the car.
Xie Yaoyao stopped in her tracks, looking at the noblewoman's profile, a strange feeling slowly growing in her heart.
The noblewoman seemed to sense her gaze and looked at her.
The two locked eyes.
The lady smiled at her, then turned and walked into the company building.
Xie Yaoyao paused for a few seconds, then started walking inside.
The elegant lady stopped at the front desk and was talking to the receptionist.
She could faintly hear their conversation.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Chi, you don't have an appointment, so I can't let you up."
“I know it’s rude of me to come here so abruptly, but I really have something important to discuss with Mr. Huo. Could you please give him a call?”
The receptionist was in a dilemma. "Mrs. Chi, our company has a rule that we cannot contact Mr. Huo directly."
"I really have something important to say..."
As they were talking, a tall figure stepped out of the elevator; it was Pei Yan.
Pei Yan didn't notice Madam Chi. He waved to Xie Yaoyao, "Teacher, over here."
Xie Yaoyao walked over quickly, and Pei Yan stood in front of the box machine waiting for her to come over.
Xie Yaoyao took a few steps, then turned back to look at the noblewoman.
At this moment, Pei Yan also looked over in the same direction and saw Madam Chi.
He frowned slightly. "How did she get here?"
Xie Yaoyao asked curiously, "Who is she? She seems to have something important to discuss with Huo Yanxi."
Pei Yan looked at Xie Yaoyao's clueless face and said, "A client's wife is not important."
Xie Yaoyao didn't want to ask too many questions. Just as she was about to speak, Madam Chi also saw Pei Yan and rushed over. "Secretary Pei, could you please take me to see President Huo?"
