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

"What? Does it scare you?"

"Do you think I did something wrong with Huo Yuan? Did I do it too harshly?"

The dark eyes stared at her, making Meng Xia's breath suffocate. Before she could speak, she heard his gloomy voice again, "You have forgotten that Huo Yuan imprisoned you abroad back then, causing us to be separated for five years, and almost... If you die, doesn’t he deserve all this?”

"What's more, I didn't frame him intentionally. If he hadn't done those bad things, how could he have ended up like this!"

That's right, Huo Xibai did nothing wrong, whether it was collecting evidence or submitting reporting materials, he could even be said to have fulfilled his responsibilities as a citizen.

But before he did this, did he really not consider what kind of choice Huo Yuan would make between surviving on being exposed or simply getting over it after being exposed?

Meng Xia knew this very well in her heart. If it were in the past, she might still be worried, but now...

"I am indeed afraid..."

Feeling that the man's eyes tightened and his right hand holding the chopsticks was so strong that veins popped out, Meng Xia couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand, "But I'm afraid you will get hurt."

"You don't know how scared I was when I heard about your accident abroad. At that time, my mind went blank and I couldn't care about anything else. I just wanted to come back as soon as possible."

Neither Huo Yuan nor Mrs. Huo cared about her. The only thing she worried about was Huo Xibai.

As if he didn't expect that she would say that, Huo Xibai's expression was startled, and it took him a while to react, "Do you really think so?"

"Do you think I would advise you to let them go?"

As if she guessed the man's thoughts, Meng Xia chuckled and asked him, indeed, five years ago, she might have hesitated because of the Huo family's adoption, but after meeting her grandma, she realized that the Huo family's adoption of her, Just a whim.

Her treatment in the Huo family was not even as good as a pet, so there was no need for her to dwell on the so-called favor, not to mention that she had already severed ties with the Huo family when she left.

Huo Xibai didn't say anything, and stared at her with a pair of black and white eyes, looking at her——

After not seeing each other for five years, Meng Xia's appearance has hardly changed, but her temperament has become calmer and her facial features have become more delicate. I don't know what she has experienced in the past five years...

"What? You don't believe it?"

Seeing that he kept staring at her silently, Meng Xia couldn't help but ask, but saw Huo Xibai narrow his eyes, and then casually recognized a few words, "There is nothing to believe."

She made her position clear without saying more.

Hearing this, Meng Xia curled her lips and was about to take back her hand when she was suddenly grabbed by Huo Xibai with one hand, "Have you finished asking all the questions?"

"Ok?"

Meng Xia didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but then he continued, "If I've finished asking, is it my turn to ask now?"

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. She held her chin with one hand and looked at him, "Then what do you want to ask?"

"Where have you been all these years?"

"When I was escaping, my car crashed into the river. Fortunately, I was rescued by a grandmother, and I have been living with her in a small town in France for these years."

"Sounds like you're doing well."

"Not bad, grandma is very good to me."

Mentioning this, Meng Xia couldn't help but curl her lips, "She is a retired professor. Because of her relationship, I was able to live there for many years without being discovered. I also studied fashion design at her suggestion. I just got married not long ago." graduate."

If Huo Xibai hadn't suddenly spoken out, she might have signed a contract with Iris by now.

A smile unconsciously escaped from the corner of the woman's mouth, but Huo Xibai's eyes flickered, "So... is this the reason why you have been unwilling to come back for so many years?"
