C36 (1/2)

”Mm, investigate this woman called Lin Yu …”

Ye Xi was sleeping soundly, and he vaguely heard someone talking. After rubbing his body under the velvet blanket, he slowly opened his eyes.

When she woke up, her mind was not fully awake yet. She stared blankly at the white ceiling.

Huo Yaoting kept his phone and walked out from his bedroom's balcony. He saw her staring adorably at the top of her head.

A smile flashed through his eyes as he walked forward and picked her up along with the velvet quilt.

”Ugh …” Ye Xi's entire person was held tightly in his embrace, innocently opening his eyes wide and blinking.

Huo Yaoting laughed and then kissed her little face, ”You want to sleep a little more?”

Ye Xi breathed in the fresh air as he asked, ”What time is it now?”

Huo Yaoting looked at the Quartz on the wall and pursed his lips, ”8: 30.”

Ye Xi shook his head, ”Then I won't be sleeping, I'm going to school today.”

”Yes.” As Huo Yaoting said that, he pulled up the duvet that was wrapped around her, and carried her towards the bathroom.

Ye Xi was slightly shocked, grabbing onto his clothes, ”What are you doing?”

”I'll carry you to wash up.” Huo Yaoting pursed her lips, and said coolly.

Ye Xi, ”I'm not a disabled person!”

”So?” Huo Yaoting lowered his head, looking at her while laughing.

”I can go by myself!” Ye Xi frowned.

Huo Yaoting's face darkened as he stopped in his tracks. A hand slipped to her ankles and he glared at her fiercely. ”Then, if I break your legs right now …”

Before he could finish his words, the little girl's face turned pale and her body started shaking as well.

A flash of pain passed through his eyes as he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, ”Little fool, I'm just trying to scare you!”

”…”

Huo Yaoting sent her to the school gate and said in a low voice, ”I'm leaving!”

After that, he opened the car door and walked back to the school gate without looking back.

Staring at her slim back, Huo Yaoting's face sunk.

Ever since he had said those words in the morning, the little girl had changed back to the look she had when they first met. She had avoided him and refused to let him get any closer.

It was to the extent that when they occasionally glanced at him, their eyes would always carry a trace of fear.

[The little girl is timid. I think what he said must have scared her!]

Leaning against the seat.

Huo Yaoting tugged on his tie that was tied to the collar of his shirt.

He took off his glasses and threw them into the secret compartment.

Actually, it was no wonder that the little girl was scared.

Because when he said those words, it was exactly what he was thinking in his heart.

If one day, he had to break her wings, then he would be able to get close to her and hug her.

He definitely would not hesitate to do so!

However, thinking about how the two of them had just gotten closer to each other, and the fact that they had returned to their original positions, and that she might even resist and avoid him more than before, the anxiety and depression in her heart grew even stronger.

Huo Yaoting's jaw tightened, his eyes staring at the direction Ye Xi drove off to. After a long while, he started the engine, and drove away.

In the office of the Huo's Group CEO.

”CEO, please call from your house and ask you to come home tonight.” Secretary Liu Ni stood in front of the desk and bowed his head to report on his trip for the day. At the end of it, he remembered that he had received a call from the old CEO this morning, and added.

Hearing this, the man who was looking through the documents frowned and looked up.

In Liu Ni's eyes, a handsome face that could shake the world appeared instantly.

Even after working alongside him for so many years, seeing this face still made her slightly absent-minded.

The man pursed his lips and asked, ”Why?”

Liu Ni felt embarrassed. Back at his home, was there still a ”reason”?

However, she would never dare to ask such a question.

He respectfully bowed his head and said, ”I didn't say anything.”

Huo Yaoting's eyes were slightly deep under the lens as he glanced at her, ”Go out!”

Liu Ni nodded and prepared to leave.

Thinking of something, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Huo Yaoting, her face full of hesitation, ”CEO, there's something that I don't know if I should say?”

Huo Yaoting lowered his head, and said with a cold voice, ”Think it over yourself!”

Liu Ni's mouth twitched, he thought for a moment, then said: ”The Chief of the Finance Department already left for maternity leave yesterday, so the President Huo's manager let the former Minister of Finance temporarily replace him as the Chief of Finance.”

When Huo Yaoting heard it, he did not raise his head, but his eyes under the lens suddenly became cold, ”Dismissed from the Finance Minister and report to Chi Rui, temporarily taking over the position of Treasurer.”

Liu Ni was startled, ”But the manager of President Huo …”

”If you have any objections, tell him to find me directly!” Huo Yaoting said coldly, her voice slightly impatient.

Liu Ni's heart trembled as he replied: ”Yes, CEO.”
