She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

During the more than an hour's drive, Meng Xia kept huddled in a corner. Gradually sleepiness came to her, and she fell asleep directly.

It wasn't until Huo Xibai took her out of the car that she asked in a daze, "Are you home?"

He saw her lying limply in his arms without opening her eyelids, looking completely dependent on him.

Huo Xibai, who had been sulking all day, finally smiled and said, "Well, I'm home."

After receiving the answer, the woman fell asleep very peacefully.

Huo Xibai carried her all the way back to the bedroom, put her on the bed, and then finally sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her carefully——

But after not seeing her for a week, she seemed to have lost a little weight. She didn't have much flesh at all. When I hugged her just now, she didn't weigh anything at all.

[It’s a bit despicable for you to use such means to force a woman. 】

Wen Yingying's words suddenly came to mind again. The man's eyes dimmed and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her face——

You don't need a job or friends, just stay by my side.

-

When Meng Xia woke up, she was in her room. The familiar scene made her feel like she was dreaming. It took a while before she realized what she was doing and got out of bed——

"Are you awake? You just happened to come over for dinner. After eating, we will go see grandma together."

Following the sound to the living room, she heard a familiar male voice, just like before, which almost made Meng Xia forget the quarrel between the two yesterday.

Meng Xia, who was about to turn around and leave, paused when she heard that she was going to see her grandma. She then thought about how he had been busy for half a month with her when she went to City A. Even now, he still pays for her grandma's hospital bills. …

Meng Xia felt unreasonable for some reason, so she obeyed him obediently.

After breakfast, the two went to the nursing home together. The old man's health improved a lot. Although he still couldn't speak clearly, he would hold Meng Xia's hand and babbling like a child who was learning to talk.

Huo Xibai stood quietly peeling the apple, then cut off a small piece with a knife and fed it to her mouth.

"..."

In front of the old man, Meng Xia couldn't refuse, so she ate one bite after another. Until she couldn't eat anymore, she grabbed the man's hand and brought it to his mouth, "Eat it yourself." Huo Xibai curled his lips, Eat it with pleasure.

The two left the nursing home. Meng Xia lowered her head and said nothing along the way. Huo Xibai couldn't help but reached out and squeezed her hand, "What's wrong? Are you still angry because of what happened yesterday?"

"No."

Meng Xia pursed her lips without raising her head. The next second, Huo Xibai pinched her chin and turned to the rearview mirror, "Isn't this angry?"

Meng Xia subconsciously raised her eyes and suddenly froze when she saw the tight little face in the rearview mirror——

Years of living under the shelter of others had smoothed away all her edges, and she even thought she would never feel angry again.

I didn't expect that I would be so angry from yesterday to now because of a trivial matter.

But why should she be angry?

She ate the breakfast bought by Huo Xibai, rode in his car, and even relied entirely on him for her grandma's hospitalization expenses...

She shouldn't have the right to be angry in front of him...

Thinking about it this way, not only did my mood not improve, but it got even lower.

Huo Xibai glanced at her and sighed softly, "Let's take you somewhere."

"Huh? Where to go?"

"You will know when you go."

ten minutes later.

The black car stopped slowly. Meng Xia stared at the familiar scene in front of her, and was stunned for a moment in disbelief——

"this is my house?"
