149 Manman, I kissed you.
Huo Yanxi felt a little lost. He turned around and took out the trophies one by one to examine them carefully.
Xie Yaoyao seemed to sense his low spirits and tried to make amends.
"Actually, this bag is a bit tight on my hands, it hurts. Could you rub it for me?"
She really didn't want to see him sad.
“Okay.” Huo Yanxi’s eyes lit up. He put the trophy in the cabinet and, being a bit of a perfectionist, insisted on arranging them symmetrically.
After setting everything up, he walked over to Xie Yaoyao and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
The sofa, which is 1.5 meters long, was still a bit cramped for two people sitting on it.
Huo Yanxi pulled her hand over and saw the red marks on her palm.
"Next time you need to move something heavy, just call me and I'll come pick you up."
"Will this bother you?" Xie Yaoyao asked.
Huo Yanxi shook his head, "No, nothing about you bothers me."
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, thank you."
Huo Yanxi's thick eyelashes drooped, and the light and shadow cast faint arcs on his eyelids.
He gently pressed the red marks on her hand and said, "Manman, don't be so polite with me."
She saved his life; everything he has belongs to her.
She said she didn't want him, so he stayed far away; but if she needed him, he would appear in front of her immediately.
Xie Yaoyao: "I'm just being polite."
Huo Yanxi smiled gently, "No need for false politeness. I've said it before, everything I have is yours, including myself."
Xie Yaoyao heard him say, with that ascetic face, that he himself was also hers.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
But she also knew that Huo Yanxi's kindness and love for her stemmed from the fact that she had saved him when he was a child and given him a home.
"Huo Yanxi, there's something I need to tell you."
Huo Yanxi raised his eyes and looked at her. "You speak, I'm listening."
Xie Yaoyao pursed her lips, took out her phone, and played the recording she had just heard.
She had been observing Huo Yanxi's expression and noticed that his brows were furrowing more and more tightly.
“Chi Wanwan is a hidden bomb. As long as she’s in Hong Kong, Yu Bao and I will never have a peaceful day. Can you… use your power to get her away from Hong Kong?”
Although it was immoral to do this, she didn't want to live under the same sky as Chi Wanwan.
Huo Yanxi said, "I understand what you mean. I will personally visit the Chi family tomorrow."
There are some things that the Chi family should have decided long ago.
The gloom in Xie Yaoyao's eyes instantly vanished, and she smiled and said, "I knew you were the most reliable."
"Manman," Huo Yanxi hesitated for a moment, "would you like to find your biological parents?"
Xie Yaoyao's eyes widened slightly. "But my biological parents have long since perished at sea."
She lost her parents when she was young, and when she was in kindergarten, some classmates called her a bastard.
She went back to her grandmother and cried, asking her why everyone else had parents but she didn't.
She couldn't describe her grandmother's expression at the time, but she looked very haggard.
Later that night, she heard her grandmother crying and hugging her, repeatedly apologizing to her.
She was too young then to understand why her grandmother was apologizing to her.
But later, her grandmother told her that her parents had encountered a shipwreck when they went to sea, and none of the people on the ship returned.
She believed it to be true and lived with her grandmother until she took Huo Yanxi back.
Huo Yanxi said, "Manman, what if I said Grandma lied to you?"
Xie Yaoyao lowered her eyelashes. "Grandma wouldn't lie to me. She's the best person to me in this world."
Huo Yanxi could sense her resistance, and he said, "Yes, Grandma is one of the people who loves you most in this world."
And I am the one who loves you the most.
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "Mmm!"
Xie Yaoyao pulled her hand back and stretched. "I'm going to wash up."
Huo Yanxi watched as she got up, went to her room to get her clothes, and went straight to the bathroom.
This apartment is small; eighty square meters feels cramped.
He could see Xie Yaoyao's figure reflected in the frosted glass of the bathroom from his sofa.
He felt a sudden dryness in his mouth and reached out to loosen his tie, but his hand grasped nothing.
He looked down and saw that he was wearing a silk nightgown.
Unable to loosen his tie, he unbuttoned two buttons on his pajamas and found that his breathing became easier.
His throat was dry, so he grabbed a mug from the table and took a sip of water, feeling somewhat agitated.
He pinched his Adam's apple, rubbed it hard several times, and finally took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator.
After Xie Yaoyao finished showering, she dried her hair while searching for Huo Yanxi in the living room.
Not seeing him, she went out onto the terrace to enjoy the night breeze and the night view.
It must be said that this room type faces Victoria Harbour and also has a view of Victoria Peak in the distance, which is absolutely gorgeous.
She was in a good mood and wasn't sleepy even though it was almost eleven o'clock, humming a tune softly.
Huo Yanxi came out of the kitchen and heard her humming an off-key lullaby.
He walked over and quietly watched her through the glass window for a while.
With his beloved so vividly before him, the fire he had just poured ice water on reignited.
He raised his hand and rubbed his Adam's apple, turning the skin on the side of his neck red.
He stared at his sweetheart like a hunter on a hunt, wishing he could pounce on her.
But he also had some concerns.
That night was an accident; Xie Yaoyao allowed him to touch her. Now that they are both sober, will she still allow it?
If you want to prepare some drinks for tomorrow night, just say it's to celebrate her winning three trophies.
Once she's drunk, they can have some fun while intoxicated.
But……
At this moment, his body clamored to embrace her, to possess her.
Huo Yanxi closed his eyes in discomfort.
Just then, Xie Yaoyao felt two burning gazes behind her and turned around.
Meeting the man's dark eyes, she saw a strong emotion within them.
Then, her gaze shifted slightly downwards and she saw his neck, which was red from rubbing.
She was startled.
"Huo Yanxi, did you get bitten by an insect on your neck? It's so red."
This red color is terrifying.
The way Huo Yanxi looked at her was just like that of a bloodthirsty beast in the forest.
He stared at her intently, his voice low and deep, as if he were trying his best to suppress something.
"Manman, I want to kiss you."
Xie Yaoyao stood there, stunned. When did he become so direct?
How should she answer?
no?
Or... okay?
Xie Yaoyao's gaze inadvertently drifted to the man's thin lips. To be honest, she couldn't even remember what the last time they kissed felt like.
At that moment, she just wanted to vent.
When Huo Yanxi kissed her, she had no thoughts in her mind, only that she felt so hot.
Then, she looked up slightly and saw Huo Yanxi staring at her.
She panicked and quickly looked away.
The next second, the man grabbed her by the waist, picked her up, and easily lifted her onto the balcony.
The terrace had no glass, so she was essentially suspended in mid-air. She quickly grabbed onto Huo Yanxi, afraid of falling.
"Huo Yanxi, I'm scared."
Huo Yanxi was much taller than her, and he gripped her waist tightly with both hands, forcefully taking over her body.
"Manman, I kissed you."
