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

Meng Xia and Huo Xibai have been locked up. Although there are people waiting for them 24 hours a day, there are no entertainment facilities here, and their belongings have been confiscated by them. For a while, they really feel like they are in jail.

"It's been two days, how long are we going to stay here?"

Huo Xibai was lying on her lap reading, which was his only entertainment activity. Hearing this, he put down the book in his hand and squeezed her palm, "What? Are you scared?"

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't scared at all. After all, this was the first time she had experienced a kidnapping scenario that could only be seen in a bloody TV series.

Meng Xia didn't say anything. Huo Xibai grabbed her hand and kissed it, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

The man's voice was low, with a touch of guilt, which made Meng Xia shake her head quickly, "It has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, it is because of you that I am not so afraid."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Huo Xibai hugged her waist tightly to comfort her. Meng Xia nodded and suddenly changed the subject as if something had occurred to him, "But I see that you don't feel uncomfortable staying here at all."

Not only was he not worried, he was even reading a book leisurely, without any sense of being kidnapped.

It was originally just a joke, but Huo Xibai suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I tell you?"

"Ok?"

Huo Xibai narrowed his eyes, and then slowly said, "In the Huo family, if you do something wrong, you will be imprisoned, so I am used to being together."

"What? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Meng Xia's eyes widened in surprise. After all, she had lived in the Huo family for five years. How come she had never heard of this?

"That's because you didn't realize it. I was detained several times and you came to stay with me."

"Really? When?"

Meng Xia squinted his eyes and thought carefully. After a while, he suddenly remembered something, "You said confinement, didn't you mean in the study room?"

"Well, it's not too stupid." Huo Xibai chuckled and played with her hair, but the woman glared at her, "Who would have thought that the study is a solitary confinement? The Huo family's study is so big, spacious and It’s bright and doesn’t look like a place of confinement at all.”

"What? Do you think staying in a dark and humid small room is called confinement?"

"Even if I'm a prisoner now, my living environment isn't that bad, right? I'm still the young master of the Huo family. I only did a few wrong things, so I won't suffer like this."

Um...it seems to make sense.

Meng Xia touched her nose and laughed sarcastically, "At that time, I thought it was because you liked reading, so you stayed in the study all day long..."

"Only you would think so."

Without any entertainment facilities, an adult cannot stay for a few days, let alone children who are naturally active.

At that time, he often stayed in one test for half a month, and his only activity during that period was reading. It wasn't until Meng Xia came to Huo's house that she would occasionally break into the study to accompany him, which made it not so boring...

As if thinking of something interesting, Meng Xia suddenly chuckled and asked, "I remember that you seemed to have been staying in the study at that time. How many wrong things did you do to be like this?"

She really couldn't tell that Huo Xibai was such a person, although at that time she thought he had a naughty personality and was not as well-behaved as he appeared.

But at least in front of the Huo family, Huo Xibai always looked quiet and honest.

"When someone sincerely wants to find fault with you, they will always find hundreds of faults."

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Huo Xibai had an illegitimate child. He must have suffered a lot of grievances at that time, right?

Just as I was feeling distressed, suddenly the door was opened, and that guy walked in again, "You can go back to China now."

Huo Xibai and Meng Xia were both shocked. After looking at each other, they suddenly asked, "How is Huo Xicheng?"

"You'll find out when you get back to Huo's house."
