084 He has desires
Song Wu could tell that she clearly didn't want to say more, so she didn't force her.
"Teacher Xie, do you know how people outside the industry perceive Huo Yanxi?"
Xie Yaoyao had heard the female teacher in the office mention it, but she pretended not to know, saying, "I don't know."
Song Wu turned to the side, looking at her profile.
Xie Yaoyao may be chubby, but she has delicate features. If she loses weight, she will definitely be very beautiful.
Huo Yanxi has a discerning eye. Is it because he sees through appearances to the essence that he treats Xie Yaoyao differently?
"Everyone says he is the embodiment of a cold and aloof Buddhist monk, and no woman can enter his heart. Once, a business rival sent a woman to his room, but he remained unmoved and kicked her out."
“After that, he attacked his business rivals from all angles until they went bankrupt and committed suicide.”
“Everyone says he’s a heartless machine, but just now I saw a longing for worldly desires in his eyes. He’s not a god or Buddha; he has desires.”
Xie Yaoyao: "It sounds like Miss Song knows him quite well?"
"Of course, I've seen him a few times at industry summits and charity galas. I can tell from his eyes that he's a man I can't afford to mess with. So I'm hoping someone will pluck this unattainable flower. I want to see what he looks like when he falls in love."
Xie Yaoyao could vaguely detect a hint of resentment in her words.
Just like herself five years ago when she had to let him go, she was also unwilling to accept that he didn't love her back then.
"I'd like to see too, but Miss Song has pinned her hopes on me, and I might disappoint you."
She gestured to her own figure, implying that her buttocks could crush Huo Yanxi to death.
Song Wu: "NONONO, you have no idea how charming you are in other people's eyes."
Xie Yaoyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "The charm of being fat?"
Song Wu stared at her, "Teacher Xie, if you care about your figure, then try to lose weight. I believe you will be amazing when you lose weight."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
After enjoying the night view, Xie Yaoyao left the French restaurant only to find that Liang Zhen was still there.
When Liang Zhen saw her, he quickly went to greet her, "Yaoyao, where's your friend? Did he leave?"
Xie Yaoyao nodded. "Yes, Liang Zhen, have you been waiting for me?"
"No, I just made a few phone calls and was about to leave when I saw you coming."
Liang Zhen wouldn't tell Xie Yaoyao that he was deliberately waiting there to get to know her friends.
But seeing only her at this moment, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, and his smile became somewhat forced.
Xie Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little scared if Liang Zhen had deliberately waited here.
"Did you buy it separately? If not, I'll go buy it for you."
"I bought it, I bought it. I'll treat you to dinner, how can I let you pay?" Liang Zhen said as he walked towards the elevator.
Xie Yaoyao was carrying a canvas bag and dressed casually, which actually made her seem out of place in a French restaurant.
Just like now, standing next to Huo Yanxi, she looks completely out of place.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?"
Xie Yaoyao smiled at him, "No, it's just that I was looking at the night view of Central from upstairs just now, and I felt a little lost."
“Yaoyao, wait until I make money, I’ll buy you a big house, then we’ll have a home in Hong Kong and feel a sense of belonging.”
Xie Yaoyao smiled and shook her head, "I appreciate your kindness, but since we're just a fake couple, we shouldn't live together."
"By the way, when are you free? Let's go back to Shenzhen to get our divorce certificate."
A shadow crossed Liang Zhen's eyes.
Does Xie Yaoyao really want to get rid of him that badly? Is she afraid he'll get anything from her?
But he refused to let her have her way.
Liang Zhen said with shame, "Look, I just returned to Hong Kong. I have to find a place to live and adapt to the new company environment. I may not be able to find the time right now."
"Yaoyao, if you're in a hurry, I can ask the company for leave, but it might affect my onboarding evaluation..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yaoyao, fearing it would affect his future, could only say, "Then we'll go back to Shenzhen when you have time."
Liang Zhen smiled and said, "Okay."
The elevator arrived, and the two stepped inside. There were other guests coming down from upstairs in the elevator, so they didn't say anything more.
The elevator descended to the first floor, and the two walked out side by side into the plaza.
Xie Yaoyao was going back to No. 22 Victoria Peak. She waved goodbye to Liang Zhen and went to the subway station to take the subway.
The sound of a car horn rang out from the roadside. She glanced up casually and saw a black Bentley parked there.
The rear window slowly rolled down, and Huo Yanxi, sitting inside, turned his head and quietly looked at her.
Xie Yaoyao thought he had already left, but when she suddenly saw him, her heart skipped a beat.
It was unclear whether it was because the night was too dark, or because he was sitting in the car with half his face in the light and half in the shadows.
She always felt that Huo Yanxi was in some danger at that moment.
But she still walked over, stood by the roadside, and bent down to greet Huo Yanxi.
"Mr. Huo, were you waiting for me?"
Huo Yanxi glanced behind her. Not far away, Liang Zhen stood there, and his pupils contracted when he saw Huo Yanxi's face.
He never expected that Xie Yaoyao was working as a tutor for Huo Yanxi's family. As long as he got in touch with Huo Yanxi, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't be able to make great strides in Hong Kong.
His eyes were burning with fervor, and he didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, as he strode forward.
Liang Zhen put his hand on Xie Yaoyao's shoulder and introduced himself to Huo Yanxi with a smile.
"Mr. Huo, hello. I'm Yao Yao's husband. Yao Yao, why didn't you tell me you were working as a tutor for Mr. Huo's family?"
His tone was both angry and puzzled.
Xie Yaoyao froze, trying to remove Liang Zhen's hand from her shoulder.
But because Huo Yanxi was there, she suppressed her discomfort and said, "Weren't you going to get a taxi?"
Liang Zhen smiled and said, "I was about to leave, but I saw your boss here, so I came over to say hello. Mr. Huo, my daughter Yaoyao is very outgoing and may have offended you in any way. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against her."
Huo Yanxi's gaze fell silently on the hand that Liang Zhen had placed on Xie Yaoyao's shoulder.
It's a bit of an eyesore.
He said casually, "Teacher Xie, since the date is over, get in the car. I'll give you a ride home."
Xie Yaoyao felt like she had been granted a pardon. She quickly broke free from Liang Zhen's hand, opened the passenger door, and climbed inside.
"Liang Zhen, you can go back now. We'll contact you again later."
This was quite a distant remark, but Liang Zhen pretended not to notice and greeted Huo Yanxi, "Mr. Huo, this is my business card. I work at Shichuang Law Firm, specializing in economic law."
Huo Yanxi took the business card with two fingers, nodded slightly, and then told the driver to drive off.
The car drove off, and Liang Zhen stood by the roadside, watching the black Bentley gradually merge into the main road and slowly disappear from sight.
The smile on his face slowly froze.
These rich people are so arrogant and rude. Once he's established himself in Hong Kong, he'll definitely make them pay.
Inside the car, Xie Yaoyao felt a little awkward. Just as she was about to say something to ease the suffocating atmosphere, her phone rang.
She quickly answered the phone.
An aged voice came from the other end of the phone, "Manman, have you heard? It's the seventh anniversary of your grandmother's death. Xiao Huo is coming back to throw a big celebration for her."
