060 Huo Yanxi became suspicious
Upon entering the villa, Huo Yanxi went straight up the spiral staircase and disappeared from Xie Yaoyao and her son's sight in no time.
Xie Yaoyao carried Xie Ziyu back to the suite.
Doubao appeared out of nowhere and followed her to the suite.
Xie Ziyu struggled to get off Xie Yaoyao's arms, picked up Doubao, and sat down cross-legged by the carpet.
He let Doubao sit on his lap, its chubby little hands cupping its dog face.
"Doubao, are you scared?"
Doubao whimpered, rubbed its chin against its little owner's hand, and barked twice more.
It's as if she's expressing her grievances.
Xie Ziyu scratched its chin, sensing its unease and fear.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
When Xie Yaoyao came out after washing up, she saw Xie Ziyu still playing with Doubao.
Doubao looked listless and let out a whimper every now and then.
She crouched down and patted the dog's head. "Doubao, what's wrong?"
Xie Ziyu said in a childish voice, "Mommy, Doubao seems to be frightened."
They're not home today, I wonder what happened to Doubao.
Fearing it might get sick, Xie Yaoyao reached out and hugged it, saying to Xie Ziyu, "Yubao, go take a bath first. Mommy will take Doubao out to ask the housekeeper."
Xie Yaoyao carried Doubao out the door, walked through the corridor, and came to the living room.
The living room was empty; there wasn't a single person in it.
A beam of light shone from the kitchen, and Xie Yaoyao strolled over.
Before we even got close to the kitchen, the little dumpling in my arms suddenly started whimpering anxiously.
As she got closer to the kitchen, Doubao began to tremble in her arms.
During the time Xie Yaoyao spent with Doubao, this situation had never occurred before.
She was worried that it was really sick and was eager to find Uncle Jian to see if she could get a veterinarian to take a look at it.
She quickened her pace toward the kitchen.
Doubao suddenly started barking wildly.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, woof woof..."
The sudden barking of the dog seemed to startle the people in the kitchen.
Something fell to the ground with a "bang" and made a cracking sound.
Xie Yaoyao stood at the kitchen door and saw Chi Wanwan leaning against the island counter as if she had been startled.
Milk was spilled all over the floor at her feet, and a glass was shattered into pieces.
The shard cut her calf, which was exposed outside her skirt, and a line of blood flowed down her skin.
Chi Wanwan's face turned pale, and when she looked up at the kitchen door, her expression showed a hint of guilt.
Upon seeing Xie Yaoyao holding the dog, the guilt on her face immediately turned into anger.
"Teacher Xie, what are you doing? You made me spill the milk I carefully prepared for Yanxi on the floor."
Xie Yaoyao narrowed her eyes. "Why are you so guilty about preparing a glass of milk?"
"Did you add something to the milk?"
Feeling guilty under her gaze, Chi Wanwan retorted confidently, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just too focused."
"Oh," Xie Yaoyao didn't believe it at all, "I've never done anything wrong in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night. It was just a dog barking twice, and you're this scared?"
As they spoke, Doubao barked wildly at Chi Wanwan while nestled in Xie Yaoyao's arms.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof, woof woof woof..."
Xie Yaoyao thought it was also frightened, so she quickly stroked its fur, "Doubao, it's okay, let's be quiet."
Doubao glared at Chi Wanwan and barked incessantly.
A fierce glint flashed in Chi Wanwan's eyes. "What are you yelling for? If you yell again, I'll slaughter you and stew you like dog meat."
"Waaah..."
Doubao nestled in Xie Yaoyao's arms, seemingly seeking protection.
Xie Yaoyao frowned, looking at Chi Wanwan with displeasure, "You can even argue with a dog, are you an animal?"
Chi Wanwan hates this dog.
It was a real mistake that they set it on fire back then but failed to kill it and Huo Yanxi even managed to salvage it.
"That dog that relies on its master's power, if I don't teach it a lesson, it'll really think I'm easy to bully."
Chi Wanwan's words had a double meaning, insulting both Doubao and Xie Yaoyao.
Xie Yaoyao's expression was cold and stern, while Doubao, nestled in her arms, barked wildly at Chi Wanwan, eager to pounce on her.
The hostility is very strong.
It seems her memory is correct.
Doubao must remember Chi Wanwan's scent, which is why it barks wildly whenever it sees her.
"What did Miss Chi do to Doubao that makes it bark incessantly whenever it sees you?"
Chi Wanwan avoided Xie Yaoyao's sharp gaze and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "How would I know?"
Xie Yaoyao narrowed her eyes. "Animals have a spirit. If you haven't done anything to hurt it, it wouldn't have such deep hostility towards you."
so.
Is Chi Wanwan really the culprit who set fire to the boathouse five years ago?
Chi Wanwan sneered, "What do you mean? Just because this dog is friendly to you, you think you're the lady of the house?"
"Teacher Xie, you can't be so shameless. I am Yanxi's fiancée and the mistress of this house."
Seeing her cornered and unable to resist retaliating, Xie Yaoyao gave a cold smile.
Do you know what the key point is in the words "fiancée"?
Chi Wanwan asked instinctively, "Where?"
“Unmarried,” Xie Yaoyao said with a cold glint in her eyes, “Miss Chi, since you are unmarried, it’s not certain whether you can marry President Huo.”
Chi Wanwan glared at her angrily, "I know you're a Chinese teacher, eloquent and persuasive, but if your school finds out you stole someone else's fiancé, I wonder if they'll still want a teacher with such bad character as you."
"Then tell me, if Mr. Huo knew how exciting your private life was, would you still be able to be Mrs. Huo?"
Xie Yaoyao retorted, but seeing that Chi Wanwan was speechless, she didn't want to waste any more words with her.
She turned and left.
She took two steps, then stopped and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Huo doesn't drink milk."
Huo Yanxi does not drink milk.
If she doesn't even know this, I don't know how she became a fiancée.
Chi Wanwan clenched her fists.
She was determined to find a way to get rid of Xie Yaoyao; her attitude as the mistress of the house was extremely offensive.
He came out of the kitchen.
The living room was dimly lit, with only a yellowish wall lamp on. Xie Yaoyao didn't notice the person leaning against the cabinet at first.
She was startled when the man spoke.
"How did you know I don't drink milk?" In the dim light, the man stood there like a ghost, eerie and unsettling.
Xie Yaoyao really wanted to thank him.
"Mr. Huo, you can scare people to death. Do you know how creepy it is for you to stand here?"
For a dignified group president to stand here eavesdropping is quite something.
Huo Yanxi straightened up, staring intently at her, not giving her a chance to steer the conversation away from the topic.
How did you know I don't drink milk?
"I just made it up on the spot. By the way, have you seen Uncle Jian? Doubao seems to be having a stress reaction."
Doubao whimpered twice in Xie Yaoyao's arms, looking rather listless.
Huo Yanxi frowned, his gaze fixed intently on Xie Yaoyao and the dog in her arms.
Compared to him, Xie Yaoyao is more like the owner of Doubao.
