144 Provoking at every turn
Xie Yaoyao was terrified. She shouldn't have lost weight. Otherwise, with her weight of 200 pounds, Huo Yanxi wouldn't have been able to pick her up so easily.
"What are you doing? If you're being indecent, I'll call the police."
Huo Yanxi nimbly got into bed, embraced her as they fell onto the pillow, and lifted his leg to press down on her leg.
"sleep."
Xie Yaoyao struggled fiercely, "I don't want to sleep here, I want to sleep with Yubao."
Besides, the bedroom door wasn't closed. If she slept with Huo Yanxi like that until tomorrow morning, and Yu Bao woke up and saw them, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
Huo Yanxi held her in his arms, his large, iron-like hands pressing tightly against her back to prevent her from struggling.
"You just promised me that we would sleep together."
Xie Yaoyao: "...I didn't agree."
"You agreed."
"I didn't agree!"
Huo Yanxi also fell silent, silently challenging her.
Xie Yaoyao squirmed like a maggot in his arms, but after a while, she realized something was wrong.
Xie Yaoyao realized what it was and froze, too scared to move.
"you!"
Huo Yanxi wasn't ashamed at all; instead, he flashed her a gleaming white tooth and said, "Wife, if you keep moving around like that, I can't guarantee what I might do to you."
Oh my god.
Xie Yaoyao closed her eyes; she really couldn't do anything about this scoundrel.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. I've been standing all day, I'm exhausted."
She was too exhausted to argue with him anymore; she yawned almost as soon as she finished speaking.
Huo Yanxi pulled her closer to him and rubbed her gently. "Goodnight."
Xie Yaoyao fell asleep almost instantly. In her drowsy state, she seemed to hear him say goodnight. She mumbled a goodnight back before drifting off into a deep sleep.

Chi Wanwan has been having a very difficult time in the Chi family lately. Since her identity as a fake heiress was exposed, Madam Chi's attitude towards her has not been as attentive as before.
They are searching the world for their biological daughter.
Only she knew that Chi Xiaoman had died long ago, in the fire five years ago.
They will never be able to find their biological daughter in this lifetime.
Chi Wanwan thought maliciously.
No one can take away her identity as the daughter of the Chi family, and she will never allow anyone to take away her identity.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID, her eyes darkening.
She answered the phone, "Did you find it?"
That day, she arranged to meet Xie Yaoyao at the golf club store, but the person who showed up was her former lover.
Six people came to the store together and made her die in public. She couldn't possibly let this go unpunished.
"We found out. The self-media reporter who first exposed you and those six celebrities online is named Gu Zhiying. Her younger brother is a student in Xie Yaoyao's class."
Chi Wanwan sneered, "I underestimated her abilities."
She thought Xie Yaoyao was just a poor, uneducated schoolteacher, but she never expected that Xie Yaoyao would know someone in the media.
The other party continued, "I found out that Xie Yaoyao did call Gu Zhiying on the afternoon you were photographed. Although I don't know how she contacted those six artists, I think it was all her doing."
Chi Wanwan also knew that Xie Yaoyao was involved in this matter.
"How's the investigation into her going?"
“She left the Huo family a few days ago and then went to Shenzhen with her husband Liang Zhen to get a divorce certificate.”
Chi Wanwan frowned. "She wants a divorce? Has she climbed the social ladder?"
She had said that Huo Yanxi's attention to her was too unusual, and it turned out that her intuition was not wrong.
"You could say that. There's a 30-day cooling-off period for divorces in mainland China. They didn't get a divorce smoothly. Later, the two went to a hotel for dinner, and Mr. Huo arrived and carried Xie Yaoyao out of the hotel."
Chi Wanwan thought about Xie Yaoyao's size and said, "You mean Huo Yanxi carried Xie Yaoyao out of the hotel? She's so fat, how could Huo Yanxi possibly carry her?"
The private investigator wondered, "But the Xie Yaoyao I saw wasn't fat at all; on the contrary, she was very beautiful."
"You say she's beautiful? Are you blind or am I blind?" Chi Wanwan even doubted whether he was talking to the same person.
The private investigator assumed she was driven by jealousy and didn't say much. "If Miss Chi doesn't believe me, I can send you a photo."
Chi Wanwan didn't want to look at Xie Yaoyao's photos; she didn't want to offend her eyes.
She said, "Don't send it to me anymore. Have you found out where she teaches? I'm going to ruin her job."
The Chi family still wields considerable influence in the port city.
She just wanted Xie Yaoyao to be unable to make a living in Hong Kong and to go back to the mainland, so she wouldn't get in her way.
Private investigator: "...Found it."
"However, Xie Yaoyao is still a top-level teacher and is highly regarded by the school principal. Now she also has President Huo backing her up. Miss Chi, I advise you not to touch her."
A wicked glint flashed in Chi Wanwan's eyes. "She's just a teacher. There are plenty of ways to ruin her, and I don't need to get involved myself."
Private investigator: "..."
After hanging up, Chi Wanwan made another call and whispered a few instructions.
She wanted Xie Yaoyao to be utterly disgraced and never dare to take what she wanted from her again.
The next day.
Xie Yaoyao's phone alarm went off. She groggily reached for her phone and turned it off.
Then, as if remembering something, he subconsciously reached his hand to the side.
She went to the empty room and woke up with a start. She opened her eyes and saw that the sheets next to her were a bit messy.
She felt inexplicably lost.
Huo Yanxi was making breakfast in the kitchen when he heard the alarm clock and came over. He saw Xie Yaoyao leaning against his pillow.
He couldn't help but smile as he leaned against the door, watching her linger on the pillow he had slept on.
So good!
Huo Yanxi raised his hand and knocked on the door. He saw Xie Yaoyao startled at first, then quickly sat up from the bed, a blush rising on her fair cheeks.
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: "Awake?"
Xie Yaoyao scratched her head awkwardly, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, but not daring to look him in the eye. "Have you...have your fever gone down?"
Huo Yanxi straightened up, walked over slowly, and kissed her on the forehead.
His overly familiar manner left Xie Yaoyao completely bewildered.
She paused, then said, "Don't kiss me like that, we're not close."
"Yes, we'll get to know each other after a few more kisses." Huo Yanxi wasn't angry. "Thank you for taking me in last night. My fever has gone down."
Xie Yaoyao clenched her fist. "I'm starting to regret taking you in now."
Huo Yanxi leaned down to kiss her again, but she quickly covered her face and dodged away.
"Mr. Huo, this is harassment."
Huo Yanxi's eyes darkened. "Yes, that night when you snuggled into my arms and begged me for you, that's not what you said."
Xie Yaoyao's face was burning hot, and she even wanted to dig her toes into the ground.
She raised her eyebrows and glared at him, "You've changed. You're no longer the Huo Yanxi you used to be."
Back then, if she got close to him, he would be as afraid as Tang Sanzang that she would eat him up, and he would try to avoid her at all costs.
Now he seems to have figured it out, and he's teasing her at every turn.
