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

As soon as Huo Xibai looked up, the woman looked away. They didn't even look at each other for a second, but he still clearly saw disgust and warning in her eyes——

He didn't understand this emotion before, but now he just wants to sneer, but his lips curl up slightly——

"Forget it, I have no intention of joining the group. Besides, I have work to do myself, so I really can't help."

It seemed that he didn't expect it, and he seemed to just subconsciously say, "What are you busy with?"

"They're all small projects."

Huo Xibai curled his lips and had no intention of saying more.

The man suddenly said in a deep voice, "Since you know it's a small project, don't waste too much time. You're not young now, so you should know what's important."

"Don't use the name of the Huo family to cause trouble outside."

Huo Xibai is not very enterprising, but after hearing this, his expression turned cold, "Don't worry, I have never acted in the name of the Huo family, so you don't have to worry about me causing trouble for you and us."

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of certain words, showing a bit of irony.

Mr. Huo sneered, "Even if you don't say it, won't others be able to find out who you are? Isn't it possible that no one will help you for the sake of the Huo family?"

"..."

Of course there is.

To be honest, the reason why Huo Xibai was able to live so smoothly after returning to China was not only because of what he had learned, but also because of his relationship with those bad friends, and also because his surname was Huo and he was from the Huo family.

So even Lu Zeye couldn't get a limited edition sports car, but someone was willing to hold it in front of him.

There was a cold color between his brows, but the smile on the corners of Huo Xibai's lips became deeper——

"So? Is it possible that when I go out and meet someone, I have to explain it to everyone? Or should you directly announce that you are severing ties with me?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole house fell silent, and everyone's movements seemed to be frozen——

"What a bastard thing to say!"

The man suddenly put down his chopsticks and stared at Huo Xibai with his sharp eyes, with a natural intimidation, "I think you have been outside for a few years and you don't know how high the sky is!"

"From today on, if you stay at home for me, you are not allowed to go. Please reflect on it!"

Huo Xibai didn't react at all, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do this. After all, I've been outside for so many years, and my temper... I won't be able to change it for a while."

"So to avoid making you angry, I'd better not stay here and be an eyesore."

With that said, the man picked up the coat on the side and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mr. Huo sternly——

"stop!"

"How dare you step out of this door today and try!"

"..."

-

early morning.

There was silence in the room, the night light on the bedside was still on, and the dim light fell on the woman's peaceful face, which made people's hearts soften inexplicably.

He opened the quilt and got in. His slender arms skillfully circled the woman's slender and soft waist, and then gently used force to bring her into his arms.

"Um……"

The woman snorted softly in her sleep, turned her head and struggled to wake up. Huo Xibai immediately leaned over and kissed her eyelids, then whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, it's me."

"...Why are you back?"

As if she heard his voice, the woman just moved her body, closed her eyes, and said in a half-asleep voice, "Aren't you on a business trip?"

His eyes dimmed, and Huo Xibai couldn't help but hug her tighter, "I missed you so much, so I secretly came back."

"..."
