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

"Xi Bai."

There was a sudden weight on the shoulders, and Huo Xicheng suddenly appeared behind him, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Huo Xibai——

The woman on the side was stunned, because Huo Xibai only had one empty chair, but fortunately the next second, the waiter next to him moved a chair over with great discernment.

As soon as she sat down, she heard Zhou Ranran's exaggerated voice, "Wow, my cousin is so beautiful today! She and her cousin-in-law are a match made in heaven."

"Thank you."

As soon as the newlyweds Huo Xi, Cheng Rong Yan and others arrived, all the topics naturally focused on the two of them, and Huo Xibai's matter was covered up.

But when no one noticed, Mrs. Huo suddenly chuckled, "Did you just plan to say Meng Xia's name? In front of your father?"

"Isn't this just what you want?"

Huo Xibai raised his lips in contempt, "In this way, I might never have the chance to join the company again, and I will no longer be a threat to Huo Xicheng."

"threaten?"

Mrs. Huo repeated these two words gently, curling her lips with disdain, "Just you?"

"If that's the case, then what were you afraid of in the first place?"

"..."

After a pause in her thoughts, Mrs. Huo looked at such a delicate and beautiful face in front of her. The calmness in her eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by... undisguised disgust——

"I just don't want to see this face."

Huo Xibai chuckled lightly, "Anyway, you have been watching it for more than 20 years. Please keep your elegant posture, Mrs. Huo, and continue reading."

"..."

-

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Meng Xia was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, his body felt heavy. In his sleep, he was pressed by a boulder falling from the sky. He almost lost his breath——

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a dark figure pressing on her, kissing her neck passionately.

"Huo Xibai?"

Meng Xia frowned at the overwhelming smell of alcohol and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to push him, "Are you drunk?"

"……No."

After a while, the man finally looked up from her arms, and the smell of alcohol hit his face.

"Why are you so drunk?"

Meng Xia frowned subconsciously, but saw Huo Xibai shaking his head, "I'm not drunk, I really am not drunk..."

The man's enunciation was clear and his speaking speed was only half a beat slower than usual, but his unfocused eyes said everything.

Meng Xia didn't intend to argue with a drunkard about whether he was drunk or not, so he lifted the quilt and stood up, "You lie down first, I'll go see if there is any sobering medicine..."

Before she finished speaking, a pair of big hands suddenly hugged her from behind. However, with a strong pull, she fell into her arms again——

"I'm really not drunk, don't be afraid...I won't do anything to you, just hold you, don't be afraid of me..."

The low and hoarse voice was inexplicably tinged with tears. Meng Xia's heart tightened. She didn't expect that Huo Xibai was still thinking about that matter after so long.

On the contrary, she slept very peacefully next to Huo Xibai, as if she had not had a nightmare for a long time.

"I'm not afraid..."

His eyes flickered, and Meng Xia hugged the man behind her, turned her head and kissed the corner of his mouth, "I'm not afraid of you."

Huo Xibai, who was kissed by her, froze in place with a look of shock on his face, "You kissed me?"

"is it not OK?"

Meng Xia imitated his previous tone and said deliberately, "Didn't you say that we are already lovers?"

"Lover?"

Huo Xibai seemed to have completely forgotten about it. He was stunned and didn't react. His dazed look was actually a bit cute. Meng Xia couldn't help but kiss him again.

"You kissed me again?"

Huo Xibai covered his face, looking like a good girl who was scorned, which made Meng Xia chuckle, "Yes, I want to kiss you."

"……I want, too."

His eyes fell on her red lips that opened and closed, and a layer of lust filled the man's eyes.

"think……"

The look in his eyes was all too familiar to Meng Xia. He couldn't help but swallow his throat. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Huo Xibai had already kissed him——
