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

"What happened? When did you get burned? Why didn't you tell me?"

"what?"

Huo Xibai glanced at it lightly and said as if he just realized it, "I don't know when it was permed. I don't feel anything."

"Nonsense! It's already blistering, how could you not feel it!"

It happened that the medicine kit Huo Xibai had just used was still in the living room, so Meng Xia immediately took it over and helped him apply scald medicine.

The man's hands were fair and slender, so that the burn on the back of his hand was particularly red and swollen.

Meng Xia's eyes flashed, and Meng Xia couldn't help but think of the time when her father climbed up a tree to pick fruits in order to please her mother, but accidentally fell down and injured his arm. Although her mother had joked about this for many years , but there is always a smile of happiness on his face——

Because only those who love you will clumsily please you, even if they themselves get hurt.

Seeing her sudden silence, Huo Xibai frowned deliberately, "It seems to be a little painful now..."

"Really?"

Meng Xia suddenly looked nervous, "Does it hurt?"

Huo Xibai nodded matter-of-factly, then raised his eyebrows deliberately and said, "How about you kiss me, maybe it won't hurt."

"..."

Huo Xibai thought she would be angry, but he didn't expect that she was just stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly came over——

A light kiss fell on his lips.

"Huo Xibai, I don't want to be separated from you."

"Hey, what stupid thing did you say suddenly?"

Huo Xibai chuckled, hugged her and kissed her back, "We will never be separated."

"really?"

"of course."

"it is good."

His words are enough.

-

Mrs. Huo came later than Meng Xia expected, a week after the last time they bumped into each other in the mall, showing a belated leisurely look.

Although he was well prepared, Meng Xia couldn't help but feel suffocated for a moment when he saw Mrs. Huo——

There was no one in the huge courtyard, except for a familiar figure sitting in the pavilion not far away.

Meng Xia squeezed the bag in her hand, took a deep breath, and walked over.

"Mrs. Huo."

When Meng Xia got closer, he caught a glimpse of the woman sipping tea. In her memory, Mrs. Huo was very proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine and camellia, just like a noble lady in ancient times.

Of course, even in modern times, she is indeed considered a noble lady.

"Do you know why I came to see you today?"

The woman's voice was very soft, even gentle, but it somehow made people dare not relax.

"know."

Meng Xia pursed her lips and said, "It's because of the matter between me and Huo Xibai."

"Now that I know, I won't go around in circles. This is a ticket to Europe. I have already arranged accommodation and work for you there. You can just go there."

"If you don't want to work, the 10 million here should be enough for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"..."

Glancing at the tickets and checks on the table, Meng Xia clenched her palms and said, "Mrs. Huo, I don't want to go to Europe."

"Don't want to? Why?"

Mrs. Huo finally raised her eyes to look at her, with an invisible edge hidden in her calm eyes.

"because……"

Meng Xia swallowed nervously, then suddenly raised his head to meet the woman's eyes, and said seriously every word, "Because I like Huo Xibai and I want to be with him."

"like?"

Mrs. Huo chuckled lightly, "If I remember correctly, you jumped off the building because of him. You broke a leg because of him, shouldn't you hate him?"

"I don't hate him, maybe I have, but I just want to be with him now, so I can't agree to your request."

"So... have you forgotten what you said when you left the Huo family?"

Meng Xia was startled by her original words, and then she remembered that when she left the Huo family, she had said that she would never have anything to do with the Huo family again, and she would never mention a word about the Huo family in front of outsiders.

Her brows tightened. Before Meng Xia could think of an explanation, she heard the woman's faint voice and remembered, "You paid such a high price to leave the Huo family and almost destroyed the Huo family."

"Now he says he likes Huo Xibai and refuses to leave. Do you know what kind of impact it will have on the Huo family once this kind of thing is exposed?"

"Meng Xia, ask yourself, the Huo family treats you well. Even if you feel that you have been wronged, the five years of upbringing by the Huo family are real. Do you think you should repay this favor...twice?"
