C146 My Husband (1/2)
A flash of resentment flashed in the woman's eyes, but she pretended to be humble and smiled in embarrassment, ”Of, of course not, I was just casually asking.”
With that, she turned and walked toward her seat.
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, when the lady walked back, he clearly saw the people on the long table exchanging glances quickly, and then all of them lowered their heads.
Her thin lips slightly curled up as if she understood something.
”Xiao Xi, although I met your boyfriend last time, we don't know each other, do you mind if I introduce him?” The corner of Gu Xinning's mouth quirked into a smile, her beautiful eyes turned around, and lightly passed by Huo Yaoting's face as she looked at him.
Ye Xi did not try to cover it up this time, and said generously: ”Huo Yaoting, I …” The corner of his mouth twitched. ”My husband.”
Husband?
Gu Xinning's eyes flashed with surprise, and quickly became relieved.
This was what couples called each other these days. Even before marriage, they would call each other husband and wife. It might not even be a part of their relationship in the future.
Once Ye Xi finished introducing them, he felt someone hold his hands even tighter.
Lightly raising the corners of her eyes, she saw a certain someone staring at her with deep, dark eyes.
The little deer's heart was beating wildly and its little face was red. She secretly pinched his arm with her hand.
Huo Yaoting frowned, pretending to be in pain.
Ye Xi's heart ached, and he pinched his fingers to comfort her.
Her small action completely pleased Huo Yaoting. Her thin lips pouted, and her other hand gently pressed the small hand that was on her arm.
The two of them acted as though no one was around to show their affection. When Gu Xinning saw this, he was secretly infuriated.
She lifted her chin and turned towards the main seat, ”Xiao Xi, come sit.”
Ye Xi looked at her back and frowned. Her attitude didn't have the slightest modesty of the owner, making it seem as if she was in a hurry to attend her birthday party.
He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Ye Xi was a pure and innocent girl, so everything was written on her face, looking a little depressed.
Seeing that, Huo Yaoting narrowed his eyes and whispered into her ear, ”If you don't want to stay, then leave.”
Ye Xi glanced at him, lightly shook his head, and said in a small voice, ”No matter what, it's her birthday today. Since she came, it's very rude to leave now.” Pausing for a moment, Ye Xi looked at Huo Yaoting worriedly, ”Hubby, do you want to leave? If you want to go, let's go. ”
Huo Yaoting's heart ached for her but at the same time, his heart warmed, caressing her hair, ”Hubby is fine.”
Ye Xi nodded.
He looked at Gu Xinning who had already sat down and looked at the two of them, and took a deep breath, then pulled Huo Yaoting up the stairs and walked towards the dining table.
After entering, he found that there were only two empty seats left on both sides of the long table. One was on Gu Xinning's left, and the other was on Gu Xinning's right.
Ye Xi was at a loss, and looked at Huo Yaoting.
Huo Yaoting raised his eyebrows, the gentleman thoughtfully pulled open the empty seat on the left of Gu Xinning and looked at him with his clear eyes.
He was treasured by such an imposing manner, and every single movement, every single expression, and every single one of them was filled with a calm and noble man.
All of the female compatriots present could not help but reveal envious looks as they looked straight at Ye Xi.
Meanwhile, the men around the table felt ashamed of their appearance and didn't dare to look at her directly.
Gu Xinning clenched her fingers which were on her knees. In her rage and jealousy, there was an additional trace of determination.
Although Ye Xi was unwilling to part with him, but being stared at by so many people, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.
After he sat down, Ye Xi reluctantly turned to look at him.
Huo Yaoting looked at her, and felt an incomparable sense of joy, that the little girl would need to depend on him.
