Chapter 44

The atmosphere was falling into an eerie silence, but fortunately the flight attendants came in time to remind everyone to board the plane.

Xu Yinyin followed Huo Yan angrily. She felt wronged. Everything had been compromised for her. What on earth could she be dissatisfied with? It was ridiculous.

He even had the illusion that he was being mean on his own initiative, tsk!

The other three friends deliberately lagged behind the two of them by half a meter and discussed in a low voice.

He Yang: "I always thought that Brother Yan was just annoyed by the blind dates arranged by his grandmother, so he just picked someone to settle down with. But after seeing her like this today, I'm sure he fell in love with her."

Wang Xun: "Why do you say that an old tree that blooms is awesome? When I approached him to cooperate on a project worth hundreds of billions, he had to think carefully. Today's deal is totally unprofitable, but my sister-in-law got angry and it worked! Isn't he a traitor who forgets his principles for the sake of beauty?"

He Yang patted Ji Kai's shoulder and said enviously, "Ah Kai, you and my sister-in-law really get along well. I see from Brother Yan's look that you're going to have to suffer in the future. Alas, no wonder they say that even a hero can't resist a beautiful woman. You'd better pray that the twin sister you love can be with you, otherwise you'll lose both your wife and your army!"

Ji Kai felt a chill down his spine. "Alright, stop gloating over misfortune. How could I have known that my sister-in-law was so kind and generous? I really didn't want to borrow Brother Yan's hand. I'm in a difficult position now."

He knew too well that Huo Yan was vindictive. If he really liked his sister-in-law, even if he had ten more lives, they would not be enough for him to play with.

Oh, I feel so bad too QAQ.

In order to mitigate their sins, after the three boarded the plane, they very considerately left the only double-row seat empty for the protagonist, and enthusiastically led Xu Yinyin to the window seat in the double-row seat. They brought delicious food and drinks to the seats one by one, and placed a small blanket, slippers and eye masks within reach. They only returned to their seats after serving her well.

Xu Yinyin had never been on a plane before, but now she was on a private plane. The seats were comfortable, the space was spacious, and the view was broad. Everything about it was good, so good that she could write off all her old grudges with Huo Yanxin.

Especially since Huo Yan's three friends were so warm and hospitable, she seemed to have no choice but to enjoy herself with a clear conscience.

Seeing that she had no objection to sitting with him, Huo Yan felt much better.

While Xu Yinyin was absorbed in the delicious food, Ji Kai called Huo Yan to the conference room next door.

"Brother Yan, you don't need to pay attention to what my sister-in-law just suggested. I will take care of it myself."

He really didn't have the guts to ask Huo Yan to seduce Song Qing. He would have a higher chance of survival if he danced in front of King Yan.

Huo Yan glanced at him and asked, "If you really have a way, would you let people who have nothing to do with it worry about it?"

With just one sentence, Ji Kai and Xu Yinyin's relationship was cleared up, and his incompetence was mocked in disguise.

Ji Kai: Look, this man has no heart for his brothers :)

"That's just a coincidence, right? You should have experienced the power of my sister-in-law eating melons, right?"

"Are you blaming her for meddling in other people's business?" Huo Yan looked at him coldly.

"No, no, no, that's not it. My sister-in-law is kindhearted and kindhearted. After eating the melon, she also remembered to seek justice for the melon owner. This is such a rare and precious quality. I can't praise her enough, how dare I blame her."

Ji Kai only regretted that he had little knowledge and that his flattery lacked the literary talent and subtlety.

Huo Yan hummed lightly, "It's good that you know."

Ji Kai swore that he really saw a look of arrogance and pride on his face.

Tsk tsk, it’s over, I’m trapped!

"Brother Yan, what are you going to do about this?" Ji Kai asked tentatively.

"Just do as Yinyin said. I'll sacrifice myself to help you."

"What if Song Qing really takes the bait and gets involved with you?"

"If it really comes to that, it should be Yinyin's job. You don't need to worry about it."

Ji Kai was stunned and thought about the deeper meaning of these words.

Could it be that he is trying to take advantage of his sister-in-law?

Ji Kai raised his eyes and looked at him, and Huo Yanchun gave him a look that seemed to say, "Yes, that's what you think."

Ji Kai: So I am also a part of your play :)

When she returned to her seat, Xu Yinyin fell asleep with her head tilted, and the unfinished movie was still playing on the tablet in front of her.

Huo Yan raised an unconscious smile at the corner of his lips. He sat down quietly, turned off the tablet, took a blanket from the shelf next to him and covered her with it. He then slowly lowered the seat to allow her to sleep more comfortably.

I caught a glimpse of the strands of hair that fell on the corners of her lips because she tilted her head, and the little bit of cream on her upper lip. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and there were twinkling lights in my eyes.

When he complains silently, he can make people angry to death, but when he occasionally shows some vicious behavior, he is cute.

Oh, what should I do with you?

He looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then raised his hand to brush away her hair and gently wiped off the dry cream with his fingertips. He made sure her blanket was covered and the sunshade was lowered before he finally sat up straight and prepared to turn on his computer to handle his work.

However, when he glanced over casually, he saw the other three people looking at him with sly smiles.

"Something?" His tone was calm, but his expression showed a bit of displeasure at being caught.

"Brother Yan, your dad's scent is coming back a little bit." He Yang teased fearlessly.

Huo Yan gave him a loving smile in return: "There is no way, these three unfilial sons are always a worry."

Three people: “…”

When they arrived at the destination, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Xu Yinyin had slept soundly and was in great spirits.

The driver had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Seeing them, he busied himself helping them with their luggage and opening the car door.

Xu Yinyin and Huo Yan were in one car, and the other three were in another, heading straight to the hotel in the city center.

Xu Yinyin looked out the window the whole way, with a look of curiosity in her eyes that she could not conceal. Even though she appeared calm on the surface, the excitement and joy in her heart had already been told to Huo Yan through her voice.

[Xiao Qi, this is my first time going abroad, and I find everything strange.]

[Tsk, I'm obviously not poor anymore, but why do I feel like I don't have enough time? Going on a trip whenever I want is still a fantasy.]

[It's because your grandfather made you work. Even though he didn't make you do anything, you still have to work from 9 to 5. Why don't you just quit? ]

[I also think I shouldn’t go to work. I clearly said I would just eat and wait for death, and be a parasite of the rich. How can I be ambitious now? Tsk! ]

[But if this happens, will Grandpa be angry? I am enjoying the treatment of a young lady, but I do nothing at the same time. It is a bit hard to justify.]

[So do you want money or leisure time? ]

[I want both. Forget it. Let’s wait a little longer. When the matter of my second aunt is resolved and the Xu family completely takes back the rights they have given away, I will think about resigning.]

[In fact, there is another way to please Grandpa and not have to go to work. ]

[What can I do?]

Xu Yinyin straightened her back quickly, and Huo Yan beside her also pricked up her ears.

[Marry Huo Yan. No one will care about you after you get married. The other party is also the one favored by Grandpa. After marriage, you will continue to make three rules with Huo Yan, help each other and cover for each other, and then you can play your own games, once and for all.]

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows in appreciation. Except for the last part about everyone playing their own games, he had hit the nail on the head on all the small details.

He glanced at Xu Yinyin secretly.

[Forget it. If Huo Gou knew I had this idea, he would definitely exploit me. Now he needs me, so I can raise the price and do whatever I want. Once the needs are reversed, he will have no choice but to retaliate against me. I would rather slack off at work than be controlled by him.]

Huo Yan pursed his lips. In her heart, was he so stingy?

[Hey, he's not that stingy! ]

[Haha! (Yin sneers)]

Huo Yan: She teased me again QAQ.

The group soon arrived at the magnificent hotel. Since it was Huo Yan's own business, there was no such thing as check-in. They took the special elevator straight to the top floor with ease.

Five people, four presidential suites.

Xu Yinyin accepted living with Huo Yan well. After all, she was playing the role of a girlfriend and couldn't be too hypocritical after receiving money. However--

As soon as Huo Yan closed the door, Xu Yinyin gestured in the middle of the living room, "Let's just act it out in front of others. When no one is around, we must demarcate the Chu River and Han River boundaries. This is my area of ​​activity, and that is yours."

"Okay." Huo Yan had originally planned to do so, but since she said it first, he felt like he had something fishy going on.

"But..." Xu Yinyin suddenly smiled at him, "If you have other service requirements, it's not impossible. Just pay more."

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her, "What do you mean by other services?"

"It's just the embarrassing things that couples do." Xu Yinyin winked at him, lightly tapped his chest with her long fingers, and slowly slid down along the button position.

Huo Yan's pupils were shocked. Was she teasing him?

Xu Yinyin felt his body stiffen noticeably, and then looked at the incredulity mixed with the faint expectation in his eyes. Her smile did not fade, but her heart was filled with excitement.

[See? Nine out of ten men are lustful, and Long Aotian is no exception. His eyes gradually turn yellow, and he might have already filled his mind with some unspeakable things. Ha, men can't stand the slightest temptation! ]

Huo Yan: “…”

[Baby, is there a possibility that I was frightened? I didn't expect you to seduce me so blatantly.]

The villain in Huo Yan's heart nodded frantically. Who would have thought that she would suddenly start flirting? How could a man who had not experienced the world of things resist? Besides, he was obviously shocked!

[Even if I seduced him on purpose, if he was really a gentleman, wouldn't he just push me away and angrily accuse me of being shameless?]

【Ah, this--】The system couldn't keep up with her train of thought.

Huo Yan was so angry. Wouldn't that make him look even more uncultured? Wouldn't it be even more rude to hurt her?

No, I wouldn't be a gentleman if I don't take revenge!

Huo Yan grabbed her evil little hand, pulled her wrist and placed his palm on his heart, then slowly moved closer to her, forcing her to step back.

Until Xu Yinyin's back was against the cabinet in the entrance hall, her palm was filled with the pounding of his heart, her eyes were filled with his handsome features magnified infinitely, and their breaths were intertwined.

“······”Xu Yinyin was completely stunned.

【Wuwu, Xiaoqi, what is he going to do? 】

Xu Yinyin was panicking, her body trembling slightly, but she pretended to be calm, met his gaze, and said in a calm voice, "What do you want to do?"

[Help! Will he do this to me? Even though he is handsome, his chest muscles are nice to touch, his waist and abdomen are sexy as I imagined, and he has long legs and a perky butt, I don't want to be taken advantage of. But if he takes advantage of me like this, I will be at a disadvantage when I meet someone I really like in the future.]

Huo Yan's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction; the last words were really unpleasant to hear.

"Isn't it possible to have other projects? The last thing I lack is money. It all depends on whether you are determined to make money."

Xu Yinyin smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't make all the dirty money."

Taking advantage of the moment when Huo Yan's face was gloomy and he couldn't recover, Xu Yinyin quickly broke free from his grip and fled.

With a loud "bang", Huo Yan came back to his senses and immediately made her laugh.

He is so timid and yet he tries to imitate others in flirting. He is both evil and cute. Tsk!

*

After Xu Yinyin returned to the room, her face and neck turned red in an instant, and her heart began beating uncontrollably.

[How could he counterattack? Why did Long Aotian's overreaction fail on him? Why didn't he push me away in anger? ]

[Is it possible that he slowly falls in love with you? ]

[I don't like him, but the signs of him are beginning to show. 】

Huo Yan, who was outside the door and had not yet returned to the house: "..."

He was the one being harassed from the beginning to the end, where could he go to seek justice?

Xu Yinyin lowered her eyes and looked at her palms. Even now, she seemed to still feel the beating of Huo Yan's heart in her palms. She spoke so quickly.

But like it?

Xu Yinyin was busy shaking her head, how is it possible!

[No, I need to drink some wine to slow down.]

Just at this time, Huo Yan received an invitation from the three unfilial sons, asking him if he wanted to go to the pub on the first floor for a drink.

He replied with a yes, and then waited quietly for Xu Yinyin to open the door and come out.

"Want to go drink with Ji Kai and the others?"

When Xu Yinyin heard Ji Kai's name, she wanted to eat some melons and was surprised, so she immediately agreed, "Go."

Then, without waiting for Huo Yan, she opened the door and went out first, looking so anxious and hurried that if you didn't know, you would think Ji Kai was her boyfriend. How annoying!

Huo Yan took a deep breath and was not angry.

The two of them walked a few steps one after the other when they met the other three.

"Hello, sister-in-law." The three of them greeted in unison, with Ji Kai being particularly enthusiastic.

"Hello." Xu Yinyin answered and walked straight towards Ji Kai.

Ji Kai was obviously startled, and when he caught a glimpse of someone's gloomy face from the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat. No way, was his sister-in-law quarreling with Brother Yan because of him again?

Wuwu, help, he is innocent!

The other two people watched Xu Yinyin and Ji Kai chatting familiarly with an attitude of enjoying the show, then looked at the person who had transformed into a black-faced god, and hurriedly stepped back to wait for their turn.

"It seems that my sister-in-law has a good relationship with Ji Kai."

"Yes, yes, it's amazing."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

After saying this, Huo Yan took big strides to catch up with Ji Kai and walked side by side with him.

Ji Kai: QAQ I don’t want to be a part of your play, save my life!

A few of them found a booth with the best viewing angle and chatted casually while watching the performance on the stage.

While Ji Kai was repaying his sister-in-law for her concern for his relationship, he also had to pay attention to someone else's emotions. He tried his best to keep a distance from his sister-in-law and lived cautiously.

"Ayan, it's really you. When did you return home?"

Following a sweet voice, a dark blue figure came and landed directly beside Huo Yan.

The person was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Xu Yinyin who was sitting opposite him, but saw that person looking over curiously, her eyes fell on Zhao Xi's face without blinking, and then heard--

[Tsk, what did I say? Huo Gou's configuration is definitely a magnet for love. He has so many rivals. Whoever gets involved will be in trouble!]

Huo Yan: “…”

The other three people found excuses to drink, gathered together to hold back their laughter, and cast sympathetic looks at Huo Yan. The long-awaited Shura scene had arrived!

Zhao Xi was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at the only female present. Was that voice just now hers? But didn’t she say anything?

[Boss Huo didn't attract many women. This woman loved him but couldn't get him, so she found a substitute to marry. But after marriage, she has been obsessed with the real man. She has created many chance encounters over the years, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity, and it would be best if she could make things a done deal when he was drunk. Therefore, Huo Yan would meet her every time he drank. ]

Zhao Xi was surprised again. Whose voice was this? He actually knew her so well. Damn it!

Huo Yan caught a glimpse of Zhao Xi's astonished expression, and his depressed mood suddenly relaxed. If he guessed correctly, Princess Guazha was about to open the melon, and he just wanted to know how Zhao Xi had managed to have such encounters over the years.

He raised his glass to Zhao Xi, which was unprecedented, and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Do you want to go together?"

Faced with Huo Yan's initiative, Zhao Xi was so overjoyed that he didn't even bother to find out where the sound came from.

She glanced at the others and seeing that they didn't react, she thought it was just hallucination.

She readily took the wine brought by He Yang and started chatting with them, completely ignoring Xu Yinyin.

If she was willing to observe carefully, she would see that He Yang exchanged glances with the other two people, and their eyes were full of the unique gleam of a crowd of spectators who enjoy watching the excitement and not minding the trouble.

[Tsk tsk tsk, Huo Gou is so slow and dull, can't he see what I'm thinking? ]

[Hey, you said it yourself, he only cares about work, women are not in his field of knowledge, so of course he can't see the other person's intentions. ]

[If he knew that the other person loved him so much that she had to find a substitute to comfort herself, would he be happy or would he feel disgusted? ]

[Don't worry about Huo Yan's feelings. If the young lady knew that her stand-in was a complete liar, she would be very unhappy.]

[Hmm?! This is a big news, hurry up and tell us more! ]

When they heard there was some gossip, everyone present became excited.

Are you kidding? I can eat melons in a foreign country. What kind of paradise is this?

Zhao Xi hadn't come back to her senses from the constant voices in her mind yet, when she suddenly heard that her husband was having an affair, she couldn't help but prick up her ears.

What could possibly happen to that honest man who obeyed her in everything, had been in the Zhao family for seven or eight years, and had always done his duty?

[Let me tell you, the little sister's honest and obedient stand-in has been using the Zhao family's money to support his first love girlfriend, buying a car and a house for her first love. The child is three years old and just started kindergarten this year. ]

[Oh my, the stand-in is so brave! ]

He Yang and the other two exchanged glances. The man who takes advantage of others to get something for free is the most courageous!

[Also, the substitute's parents also knew about this, and the two old people have always only recognized the first love girlfriend. Because they were sick and hospitalized, their daily diet and daily life were taken care of by the first love. ]

[That means the whole family is relying on the eldest daughter to suck their blood! ]

[Not only is he sucking blood, he is also quietly transferring his assets. I guess he wants to live with his first love forever.]

[The young lady looks smart, there is no reason for her to be ignorant of the scumbag's actions, right? ]

[Hey, who has nothing better to do than stare at the person next to them every day? Moreover, the scumbag gave the girl the impression that he was honest and obedient at the beginning. His character setting was so good! ]

【Oh Momo, another big complainer. 】

[In fact, the young lady's initial motives were not very pure, and the scumbag knew all along that he was just a substitute. Rather than waiting for the young lady to lose interest and then walk out without getting anything, he decided to use the identity of the son-in-law to make a lot of money, and then run away with his lover and family.]

[Plus, when the young lady first fell in love with him, she took him away by force! ]

[Wow, I love to hear about plundering, please tell me more details! ]

Zhao Xi clenched her fists silently. Although she hated her husband's bold betrayal, she hated the displeasure of having her authority challenged even more. How dare he covet the Zhao family's things!

[The scumbag and his first love have been together since high school, and they were admitted to the same university. They were originally planning to get married after graduation, and then study for a master's and doctoral degree together. After completing all their studies, they would find a decent and high-paying job and put having children on the agenda. However, something unexpected happened in their senior year. The scumbag's father fell ill and needed a bone marrow transplant.]

[The scumbag and his girlfriend come from similar families. They are both top students from small towns with ordinary salaries. They used to be self-sufficient through work-study and scholarships. But after their father became ill, they both chipped in together to pay for his medical treatment. They quickly ran out of energy and money, and their academic performance plummeted.]

[In order not to implicate his girlfriend, the scumbag took on the job of taking care of his father and making money, and even dropped out of school for this.]

[Hey, doesn't this mean that our plans will be postponed indefinitely? ]

[Not only was the plan delayed, but a suitable bone marrow match was not found either, and the family fell into complete despair.]

[At this time, Zhao Xi appeared. As one of the school's sponsors, she went to the school to participate in activities. At first sight, she fell in love with the prey who looked 70% like Huo Yan. She quickly asked someone to investigate the other party and helped find a suitable bone marrow. ]

[And she used this to force the other party to submit? ]

[Nonono, she felt that if she couldn't completely control the other person from the beginning and make him completely devoted to her, there was no point in being a substitute. It would be better to just pick Huo Yan, the flower of the high mountains.]

So, what evil thing did she do?

[Of course, he would force the person into a corner from all directions, and then swoop down from the sky like a savior to save the person from danger.]

[Wow, that sounds like a big, scheming drama. I'm all ears!]

[Not only is it full of scheming, but there are also all kinds of explosions in the process. Just listen to me and I will explain it slowly.]

All the melon-babies straightened their backs, picked up their cups and took a sip of wine. Even Huo Yan, who had never been interested in anything other than business, pretended to listen attentively.

Zhao Xi was completely speechless, and felt that the filter of her male idol was beginning to crack.

Huo Yan met Zhao Xi's slightly disdainful gaze and raised his eyebrows at her, as if to say, "You superficial woman, you don't know the joy of eating melons at all!"

Huo Yan's proud and cute face: My wife's melons are big and bursting, okay (arms on hips)
