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

After Meng Xia and Wen Yingying finished shopping, they went to a nearby tea restaurant, intending to have afternoon tea while waiting for someone to pick them up. However, they didn't expect that not long after they sat down, they bumped into an acquaintance——

"Brother Huo?"

From the moment Huo Xicheng pushed the door open, Meng Xia had noticed him out of the corner of his eye, probably because of the Huo family's excellent genes and their own eye-catching aura.

Just as he was about to look away, the man turned his head and looked over -

Their eyes met casually, and the man walked over. Now Meng Xia couldn't hide even if she wanted to, so she could only shout dryly.

But at the same time as she finished speaking, she noticed that Wen Yingying on the opposite side stiffened, and his reaction seemed to be greater than hers.

Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Xicheng had already walked over, his tall body casting a shadow on the table, "You came alone?"

"Forehead……"

Meng Xia was stunned, and pointed at Wen Yingying, who kept her head lowered across from her, "With Miss Wen."

The man glanced at Wen Yingying as if he had just caught a glimpse of her. Wen Yingying raised her head and whispered hello, "Brother Huo."

With just a symbolic whisper, the woman lowered her head to bite the milk tea straw, without even waiting for Huo Xi to respond.

However, Huo Xicheng didn't respond. He just said "hmm", then narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Xia again, "Meng Xia, can you just say a few words alone?"

The man's tone was cold and distant. Although it was a request, it carried an undeniable majesty.

"..."

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, but Wen Yingying stood up suddenly and said, "I just have to go to the bathroom. You guys can talk first."

With that said, regardless of the reaction of the two people, she left directly. Although her back was straight, her steps were slightly hurried, with a hint of fleeing.

"Huo Xibai...are we with you now?"

Huo Xicheng didn't show any politeness, he sat directly where Wen Yingying had just sat, and went straight in. Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but clenched her hands, "Yeah."

"He didn't answer my call, so I would like you to tell him that my father was very angry about what happened last time. If he still wants to continue with the projects at hand, he'd better go home and admit his mistake to his father tomorrow. "

What happened last time?

Meng Xia didn't know when Huo Xicheng was talking about the last time or what happened. She just heard that Mr. Huo was angry, and her ten fingers under the table clenched uneasily, "Yes, it's because of me." Something about?"

"..."

Huo Xicheng did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes and glanced at the woman opposite. The face that was originally unclear in his memory became clear because of the uneasiness——

From the first time I saw her, she had this expression. Those round eyes kept turning in their sockets, carefully looking around, showing uneasiness at every turn.

With just one glance, Huo Xicheng could tell that there was a huge difference between this man and his proud sister.

But he didn't expect that this seemingly harmless little rabbit would later cause such a big disturbance in his house.

There may even be some kind of storm in the future.

His eyes paused slightly, and he subconsciously blurted out, "Are you willing?"

"what?"

Meng Xia was startled. Before she could realize what he meant, she heard the man explain, "If you don't volunteer, I can send you away to a place where Huo Xibai can't find him."

"..."

Her heart tightened, and Meng Xia subconsciously murmured, "So is it really because of me?" (End of Chapter)
