113 I am Yao Yao's husband
Huo Yanxi's heart suddenly returned to its place, and he strode over.
When Xie Yaoyao saw him, she smiled in a worthless way, "I heard from Uncle Lin that you were coming, so I've been waiting for you downstairs."
Huo Yanxi looked behind her but didn't see the two children or Liang Zhen.
He asked casually, "Where are they?"
"They couldn't wait to ride, so I had Liang Zhen go up with them first." Xie Yaoyao looked back at the Ferris wheel.
She could no longer see which carriage Xie Ziyu and the others were in, but she knew they could definitely see her on the ground.
She waved happily at the Ferris wheel, then turned back to look at Huo Yanxi, "Mr. Huo, would you like to try it out?"
Huo Yanxi was averse to Ferris wheels.
From above, he saw his birth mother who had abandoned him, and he knew what the despair of being abandoned by one's own family was like.
But seeing Xie Yaoyao's smiling eyes and the excitement in them, he couldn't bear to spoil her fun.
"I'm afraid of heights, so I'll have to trouble Teacher Xie to hold me tight in a bit," Huo Yanxi said.
Xie Yaoyao asked in confusion, "When did you become afraid of heights?"
She remembered that Huo Yanxi wasn't afraid of heights before.
Huo Yanxi gently tapped her head. "Did you buy my ticket?"
"I haven't bought them yet, I'll buy them online right away." Xie Yaoyao's attention was diverted, and she took out her phone to buy tickets online.
By the time they finished queuing, Xie Ziyu and the others had already gotten off the Ferris wheel.
Xie Ziyu was extremely excited, "Mommy, I'm sitting at the highest point of the Ferris wheel looking at you, and you're still so tiny."
He compared it with the nail of his little finger and was overjoyed.
Xie Yaoyao patted his head and looked at Liang Zhen and Huo Zidu who had followed her out.
"Did they cause you any trouble?" Xie Yaoyao asked Liang Zhen in a very polite tone.
Liang Zhen smiled and shook his head, "No, they are both very sensible."
Xie Yaoyao noticed that Xie Ziyu's forehead was covered in sweat, so she took a tissue and wiped it off for him.
Liang Zhen looked at Huo Yanxi; he was even more handsome and charming in person than in the photos.
With such an outstanding man by Xie Yaoyao's side, and even treating her with a special attitude, how could Xie Yaoyao resist being tempted?
However, his gaze swept over Xie Yaoyao's still obese body, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Xie Yaoyao has pretty features, but her figure is really disgusting.
Otherwise, he could sacrifice himself to seduce her, making her devoted to him and helping him gain a foothold in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Huo, I'm Yao Yao's husband. I heard she's working as a tutor at your house. I hope she hasn't caused you any trouble?"
Huo Yanxi had been sizing up Liang Zhen ever since he appeared, and naturally he didn't miss the fleeting look of contempt in Liang Zhen's eyes when he looked at Xie Yaoyao.
He frowned, not even bothering with formalities, and said, "Teacher Xie is excellent."
Huo Zidu was on the Ferris wheel earlier when Liang Zhen kept asking him a lot of questions about his family.
Although he's a bit simple-minded, he's not entirely without a sense of self-protection.
He could tell from Starbucks that this person was arrogant and hypocritical.
Hearing the disdain in his words towards Teacher Xie, he felt uncomfortable.
"Teacher Xie is such a good teacher. My Chinese has improved so quickly, all thanks to Teacher Xie."
Xie Yaoyao was embarrassed by his praise. "You are quick to understand and smart. If you work harder, Chinese will definitely become your strongest subject."
The teacher and student got along well, and the tension from their first meeting was gone.
When Liang Zhen saw that both uncle and nephew were protecting Xie Yaoyao, he knew that Xie Yaoyao must have won their favor.
This time, his praise was a bit more sincere: "Putting everything else aside, Yao Yao has a lot of experience in education, and she has won many awards."
Xie Yaoyao was very embarrassed. "Stop praising me. You're making me sound like I'm on cloud nine."
Liang Zhen said, "You've always been outstanding, Mr. Huo, don't you think?"
Huo Yanxi's lips curled slightly as he glanced at the line ahead moving forward. He reminded Xie Yaoyao, "It's time to move on."
Xie Yaoyao turned around and saw that there was a long gap in the middle, so she quickly took Xie Ziyu's hand and walked forward.
The group moved to different positions, and Liang Zhen took the opportunity to chat with Huo Yanxi.
With Xie Yaoyao's identity in mind, Liang Zhen did some more research on the situation in Hong Kong and had a deeper conversation with Huo Yanxi.
Huo Yanxi realized that he wasn't entirely incompetent, but rather too ambitious.
Furthermore, since he was Xie Yaoyao's spouse on her household registration, he really couldn't be nice to him.
The group lined up at the Ferris wheel entrance, and luckily there was still one empty gondola. Xie Yaoyao handed Xie Ziyu and Huo Zidu over to Liang Zhen and followed Huo Yanxi inside.
The staff held the elevator door open, and after the two people got in, they closed it from the outside.
Xie Yaoyao and Huo Yanxi sat facing each other as the Ferris wheel slowly began to turn.
Soon, Xie Yaoyao saw the shimmering Victoria Harbour and the bustling Central district.
"I've always wondered why the Ferris wheel was built here, but it turns out it has this ingenious purpose."
There were only the two of them in the sedan chair. Huo Yanxi followed her gaze and looked out the window.
Ferries ply Victoria Harbour, while tourists throng Central in the distance, and LCD screens on skyscrapers play advertisements featuring the latest top celebrities.
A scene of magnificent beauty.
Huo Yanxi said, "You've been in Hong Kong for several years, and you've never ridden a Ferris wheel?"
Xie Yaoyao shook her head, "Where would I find the time?"
Dealing with those troublesome problem students alone was enough to exhaust her.
Not to mention she also has to take care of the baby.
When Xie Ziyu first came to Gangcheng, he was only one year old and couldn't find a job.
Later, by chance, she unintentionally helped Principal Yang's mother and met Principal Yang when she went to visit her in the hospital.
Grandma Yang is a kind old woman. When she heard that Grandma Yang was raising her child alone and couldn't find a job, she asked Principal Yang to help her find one.
Principal Yang initially disagreed, but later Xie Yaoyao heard that a class of problem students had beaten their homeroom teacher so badly that he ended up in the hospital, and no one dared to take over the class.
Thinking that her opportunity had come, she recommended herself to Principal Yang and even signed a pledge.
That was her second year in the port city, and it took her a lot of effort to send that class of students off to graduation.
When the privileged kids left the school, they presented her with a banner, and from then on, she became famous.
In the third year, Principal Yang formed a class for the spoiled brats and entrusted them all to her.
Since she took over, she has suffered quite a few losses at the hands of the students, but fortunately she managed to guide them to graduation, and they all went on to have good futures.
"Because of work?"
Xie Yaoyao said, "Not entirely, there's also the matter of life. When Yubao first arrived in Gangcheng, he had trouble adjusting to the local environment, and his health only improved in the last two years."
Huo Yanxi: "You've worked hard."
"It's not that hard work is hard. As the saying goes, a mother is strong. After becoming a mother, I realized that there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Xie Yaoyao looked away and saw Huo Yanxi looking at her.
His gaze was so focused that it made her heart race; she always felt that he was about to say something shocking.
