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

"So...this is why you haven't been willing to come back for so many years?"

"..."

The smile on her lips froze. Before Meng Xia could speak, she heard Huo Xibai's voice again, "You should have heard news about me when you were abroad, right?"

Without waiting for Meng Xia to answer, he spoke to himself again, "Since you know about Huo Yuan and came back not long after my accident, you must have been paying attention to me, right?"

"Then I've been looking for news about you everywhere. You must know the news about my engagement with the Qiao family, so even so... you have no plans to return to China?"

"Forehead……"

Meng Xia pursed her lips, "Didn't this problem have been explained last night? Are you still angry?"

"..."

Huo Xibai didn't say anything. He just couldn't figure out why Meng Xia refused to come back even though he knew he was looking for her all over the world. If it was out of worry at the beginning, then she should have appeared after Huo Yuan fell, but she didn't.

If he hadn't been injured by accident, she was finally willing to show up. Huo Xibai couldn't believe how long he had to wait, and he didn't even know if he would have a chance to see her in this life.

Seeing his expression, Meng Xia couldn't help but squeeze his hand, "Isn't it important now? Now that I'm back, I'm right next to you, eating with you. Isn't that enough?"

His palm suddenly felt warm, and Huo Xibai lowered his eyes. After a moment of silence, he firmly held her hand back and said in a serious voice, "I want not only the present, but also the future."

"You will stay with me every day from now on."

"..."

Being stared at by those obsidian eyes, Meng Xia was dazed for a moment, and then she immediately reacted, twitching her lips and saying, "Okay."

-

A few days later, news about the Huo Group was abuzz, and everyone was waiting for the final result.

Even if Huo Xibai hadn't been found yet, Song Wan had no choice but to convene a shareholders' meeting——

A woman in a white suit stood in front of everyone. Her posture was upright, and she was still elegant and generous as usual. But when she opened her mouth, she became a little more dignified, "I invite you all to come over today. I have two main pieces of good news to announce——"

"First, Xi Bai is out of danger and his life is not in danger for the time being. You can rest assured about this."

Hearing this, the people below were overjoyed and immediately asked, "Really? When will Mr. Huo come back to take charge of the overall situation?"

"Yes, there are different opinions outside, and the group's stock price is also falling. We are just waiting for him to come back and turn the tide."

Song Wan raised her hand to stop the voice below, "I can understand everyone's mood, but Xi Bai has just come out of the dangerous period. The doctor said that his current body is not suitable for work and he needs to recuperate for a while."

"How long is the training period?"

The people below immediately exploded, "How can there be no one to take charge of the overall situation at this time? It was because of Huo Yuan's incident that the group almost went bankrupt. Now that it has finally recovered, how can something happen again at this critical moment?"

"That's right, didn't you say good news? What kind of good news is this!"

"Quiet! Please listen to me!"

Song Wan suddenly raised her voice, and the crowd suddenly became quiet. Then she continued, "So my second piece of good news is-"

"Until Xi Bai recovers, all affairs of the group will be taken over by Huo Xicheng."
