096 Equally envies all creatures that are close to Manman.
Xie Yaoyao looked at his broad back helplessly, a little afraid that her weight might bend him over.
"Mr. Huo, you don't need to be so polite. I can walk by myself."
Huo Yanxi insisted, "Come on up. I took you to the banquet today, and you've had to go through all that trouble. It's only right that I carry you back to your room."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
It seems impossible to refuse.
"Then I really won't be polite, but if you can't carry me, you must tell me, so you don't hurt your back."
She weighs 200 pounds; he's been pampered for five years, so he might not be able to carry her.
Xie Yaoyao lay on Huo Yanxi's back, her arms wrapped around his neck. Huo Yanxi looked down at her chubby little hands, and the corners of his lips turned up.
He wrapped his arms around her knees and tried to stand up, but he couldn't.
The scene was completely silent.
Xie Ziyu said disdainfully, "Old Deng, have you not eaten? You can't even carry my mommy."
Huo Zidu stopped playing games, put his hands in his pockets, and ran over to watch the excitement.
"Uncle, push harder!"
Huo Yanxi really wanted to throw these two noisy little things out, but he was afraid that Manman's self-esteem would be hurt, so he quickly explained, "You're not heavy, really, I didn't use enough force just now."
They underestimated how heavy 200 pounds would be in a tangible form.
Xie Yaoyao wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. She was determined to lose weight. She didn't want to go back to 100 pounds, but she would be willing to lose weight to 150 pounds.
This is so embarrassing!
She rested her forehead against Huo Yanxi's back, the crisp scent of cedar emanating from him filling her nostrils.
She was filled with shame and indignation, "Maybe I should just walk by myself."
Before the sound of "ba" had even faded, Huo Yanxi had already steadily carried her on his back, and Xie Yaoyao instantly tensed up.
She clung tightly to Huo Yanxi's shoulders, as if afraid he would drop her at any moment.
Huo Yanxi gently patted the back of her knees, "Relax, I won't let you fall."
Xie Yaoyao felt that agreeing to let Huo Yanxi carry her was a mistake.
She remained on tenterhooks until Huo Yanxi carried her into the villa, through the corridor, and into her suite.
Xie Ziyu and Huo Zidu followed behind to watch the excitement, and even Doubao wagged its tail and came in.
Huo Yanxi placed Xie Yaoyao on the sofa; it was the first time he had entered the mother and son's room.
The room wasn't very big, and the first floor was relatively damp.
If he had known that Xie Yaoyao was Manman, he definitely wouldn't have arranged for her to live in such a damp environment.
He deserves to die!
Xie Yaoyao lay on the sofa and saw Huo Yanxi's gaze roaming around the room, his expression vaguely carrying self-reproach.
She said, "Mr. Huo, I'm planning to rest now. Why don't you take the two children out to play for a while?"
Huo Yanxi pursed his thin lips, and Manman was trying to shoo him away, which displeased him.
He couldn't show his displeasure, so he said with a straight face, "Okay, you get some rest, you two come out with me."
Xie Ziyu shook his head, "I don't want to be separated from Mommy."
As he spoke, he hugged Xie Yaoyao's arm tightly, as if afraid that someone would separate them.
Huo Yanxi looked at him with envy, wishing he could hold Manman's arm like Xie Ziyu.
She smelled sweet and soft, like cotton candy, making people fall for her.
Xie Yaoyao patted his head. "It's getting late, so you shouldn't go out. Get ready to sleep."
"Yeah."
Huo Yanxi glanced at Xie Ziyu, who was clinging to Xie Yaoyao, and then at Doubao, who was lying next to Xie Yaoyao's legs.
very good.
Before, only Doubao competed with him for Manman, but now there's another little one.
He pursed his thin lips and reluctantly led Huo Zidu out of the room.
In the corridor, Huo Zidu tilted his head to look at Huo Yanxi, who was acting particularly strangely today.
"Uncle, were you possessed today?"
My uncle used to portray himself as a male bodhisattva, abstinent and celibate.
If a woman approaches him, he will immediately chase her away.
But tonight he carried Teacher Xie into the room on his back, and when Teacher Xie asked him to leave just now, he was reluctant.
Huo Yanxi flicked his forehead and said, "What do you know? Go to sleep."
Huo Zidu's forehead was throbbing with pain, and he was furious. "You know I'm stupid, yet you still flicked my head. You're just afraid I'll grow up and take the family fortune from you."
Huo Yanxi arrogantly raised his chin. "I'll wait and see."
Huo Zidu: "..."
Damn it, I've been underestimated.
-
At the Si family home, Si Bao'er cried her eyes out because Huo Yanxi had shown her no respect at the charity gala.
Madam Si pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. "Enough! Didn't I tell you not to provoke Huo Yanxi?"
"Why can't I provoke him? Mom, you're just being biased. You want Brother Yanxi to inherit both branches of the family, how could he possibly be interested in Eldest Sister?"
The eldest sister is already forty years old, and she still wants to seduce her own brother-in-law. She has no shame at all.
Mrs. Si looked around in a panic, thankfully it was just her and her daughter in the living room.
"If you shout again, and rumors start circulating outside, you'll be sorry."
Si Bao'er broke down, crying and making a scene, "Anyway, I don't care, Yanxi and I are a match made in heaven, old woman and fat woman, get out of my way."
Seeing that her words were becoming increasingly incoherent, Madam Si pinched her hard in anger.
"I won't allow you to steal your sister's man."
"Why should I? I'm young and beautiful. Even if Brother Yanxi likes me, he wouldn't like my eldest sister. Besides, Huo Zidu is my nephew. If I marry into the Huo family, I can help my eldest sister take care of him."
Si Bao'er's words made sense, but Madam Si disagreed, saying, "The Si family cannot let both of its daughters perish in the Huo family."
Si Bao'er has her own responsibilities. She has already been in contact with the Chi family. If Si Bao'er can marry the eldest son of the Chi family, the Si family will have another avenue to expand in Hong Kong.
She understood the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Si Bao'er persisted, saying, "My brother-in-law has been missing for five years. You should let my sister come back and remarry. Anyway, I will never marry anyone but Brother Yanxi in this life."
Madam Si tried to reason with her, but Si Bao'er wouldn't listen to a word, which angered Madam Si.
"How could I have given birth to such a troublesome child? Anyway, I don't agree. Huo Yanxi is your sister's, and I won't allow you to take her from your sister."
Si Bao'er cried and made a scene, which finally angered Madam Si so much that she ordered the servants to drag her back to her room and lock her up.
Si Bao'er smashed things and cursed loudly in the room, using foul language that was offensive to the ears.
Mrs. Si was so angry that she almost fainted.
The next day, the news spread quickly, and even Xie Yaoyao knew about the Si family's scheme.
She had just finished her period and was making breakfast for Huo Yanxi when she overheard Aunt Wang talking to her about this.
"The Si sisters are shameless. The elder one is an old witch, and the younger one is a little witch. They actually want Fifth Master to inherit both branches of the family. They should take a look in the mirror and see what kind of people they are."
Xie Yaoyao studied Chinese and taught for several years, so she understands the phrase "兼祧两房" (meaning to inherit two households).
No wonder the Huo family sent Huo Zidu to Huo Yanxi for training; it turns out they had this in mind.
I must say, they really know how to annoy people!
