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

"No worries about food and clothing?"

Huo Xibai glanced at the woman's back not far away and sneered, "Then guess how much monthly salary she earns now and what a simple house she lives in?"

"She has no money, no background, and doesn't even have a family member who can support her. That's why Song Zhihuai dared to support her mistress for several years behind her back. How do you call this a good life?"

Huo Xibai was so angry when he thought about the information he found when he returned home. Although he didn't want to see Meng Xia get along with others, he couldn't see her being bullied like this!

"I've already given what I should give, but she doesn't want to use it. How can I force her with a knife? Besides, she's not out of this predicament yet. Doesn't that mean... you can't do anything to her?"

Huo Xicheng has always been very logical, and few people can take advantage of him.

Huo Xibai didn't want to waste time with him, so he just snorted softly, "In this case, the agreement between us will be invalidated. I will not go abroad again, and you can't even think about it..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Xichen interrupted, "I don't want to tell you this today. What I want to tell you is..."

After a pause, the usually cold male voice suddenly sounded a little tired, "Mom has been feeling unwell recently. If you are in Nancheng, please come home and have a look."

After only hesitating for a second, Huo Xibai refused, "Forget it, I'm afraid she will get even sicker if she sees me."

After that, he hung up the phone, put away the phone and walked towards the kitchen.

Meng Xia was washing the dishes. When she heard the movement behind her, before she could turn around, her waist suddenly tightened, and her two hands hugged her waist tightly——

Her body stiffened, and before she could refuse, her shoulders suddenly sank, and a man's deep voice came to her ears, "You're in a bad mood, do you want me to hug you?"

Although it was a question, it didn't mean much to ask for her wishes.

I don't know if she got used to Huo Xibai's care some time ago, but her originally stiff body actually relaxed little by little...

She had obviously been afraid of being touched by the opposite sex since five years ago, and she would feel uncomfortable even when Song Zhihuai occasionally got close to her.

At that time, Song Zhihuai doted on her and did not force her. She took the initiative to see a psychiatrist after her right leg recovered. However, before she recovered, she accidentally discovered Song Zhihuai's affair.

There will be no need to go there again, so her problem has not been cured until now.

The only time I met Huo Xibai was because he was drugged, otherwise...

"What are you thinking about?"

The sudden sound in her ears brought back her thoughts. Meng Xia pursed her lips and shook her head in denial, "No."

His long and narrow black eyes narrowed dangerously. Huo Xibai stared at the round and small earlobe close at hand, wanting to open his mouth and bite it——

He doesn't like that she is still thinking about other people and things in his arms, doesn't like that she always cowers and lets others bully her, doesn't like that she always refuses his kindness to her, and doesn't like that he doesn't even care about these things now. have no rights.

"What happened?"

As if sensing something was wrong with the man's mood, Meng Xia opened her mouth to ask.

Huo Xibai narrowed his eyes and sighed softly in his ear, "I want to bite you, but I'm afraid it will hurt you."

Meng Xia was confused by his nonsensical words. It took her a while to realize what she was saying, and she stretched out her hand to push him away, "Let go, I have to wash the dishes..."

"I didn't stop you from washing."

"How can I wash you like this?"

"Why can't you wash it? Come, let me help you..."

"Huo Xibai!"

Meng Xia frowned subconsciously, but she heard Huo Xibai suddenly say quietly, "I'm going to another place next week. There is a project that requires me to go there. It may take three or four days, so can you let me hold you for a while? "

Going to other places?

Meng Xia looked slightly startled, "Are you in a bad mood just because of this?"

She thought that the expression on his face just now meant that he was really in trouble...

"Well, when I think about not being able to see you for three or four days..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman in his arms had already broken away from his hand. Before Huo Xibai could react, a bowl was forced into his hand, "Since you love washing so much, then just do it by yourself." Wash slowly!"

"..."

Huo Xibai glanced at the bowl in his hand, then at the woman's back as she left angrily, and couldn't help but curl his lips——

It doesn't matter if she can lose her temper, at least she will only lose her temper with him.
