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

"Why are you here?"

The visitor was wearing a light gray coat, which made him taller and longer, and the gold-rimmed glasses hanging on his ears gave him a bit of elegance and gentleness.

"I just happened to meet Yingying. I'll take her back."

Seeing Huo Xibai, the man paused and glanced at Meng Xia next to him——

Sensing his gaze, Huo Xibai stepped in front of Meng Xia without leaving a trace. The man's eyes paused for a moment, and he suddenly understood. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "Girlfriend? It seems that I was no longer nosy."

As he said that, he looked past Huo Xibai and towards Meng Xia, "Are you okay?"

Meng Xia was shocked. She didn't expect to suddenly meet the man who had just helped her, and she didn't expect that he would actually mention this to Huo Xibai!

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Huo Xibai couldn't help but frown, "Just now? What just happened?"

Meng Xia quickly winked at the man, but Huo Xibai had already noticed it and turned around. She quickly opened her eyes as if nothing had happened, "No, it's nothing."

Seemingly amused by her poor performance, the man chuckled and wisely found an excuse to leave, "I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you for now. We'll get together next time when we have time."

"it is good."

Seeing the man walking away, Huo Xibai turned his head and met Meng Xia's curious eyes. He immediately frowned and shouted displeased, "You still want to watch?"

"No."

Meng Xia quickly looked away, "I just didn't expect that you would actually know each other. He just came back with Miss Wen in his arms. They seemed to be very familiar..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man with a sneer, "What? You seem to be very curious about him?"

There was an unspoken danger in the deliberately lowered voice. Meng Xia's heart thumped and she immediately shook her head in denial, "No."

Huo Xibai looked at her condescendingly, looking completely disbelieving, "Then what did you just say?"

Just as Meng Xia was about to say it was nothing, the man suddenly held her wrist firmly, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it be some kind of bloody drama about a hero saving a beauty, right?"

"Um...of course not."

She lied without changing her expression, but Huo Xibai lowered his body in disbelief and asked, "Really?"

Their eyes met, and the woman's deliberately widened eyes were about to blink uncontrollably. At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated——

Meng Xia immediately took out his mobile phone as if he had received an amnesty. When he saw Assistant Zhou's name, he immediately felt like he had seen a savior. He said directly, "Sorry, Assistant Zhou, I'll be back now..." before the other party could speak.

After that, she didn't even dare to look back at Huo Xibai. She just waved to him and left holding her phone in her hand, looking like she was in a hurry.

But before he had even taken a few steps, a man's big hand grabbed his hat——

Meng Xia felt her throat tighten and couldn't help but widen her eyes. However, the next second, the phone beside her ear was snatched away——

Her heart tightened, and she quickly turned around, but she could only watch helplessly as the man held her cell phone and whispered——

"Hello, Meng Xia wants to go out for dinner with me now, so I can't go back for the time being. I'm sorry."

At the end, he did not forget to add, "Oh, by the way, I am the friend Meng Xia mentioned."

The man seemed to have deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words, and the slightly raised corners of his lips showed unspeakable evilness.
