Xia Chuwei raised her head and looked into the man's dark and deep pupils.

Xia Chuwei's eyes flickered slightly and she avoided the man's gaze.

"......fine."

Huo Yunting's deep eyes darkened a little, and he didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go and have lunch first."

"good."

Lunch was also eaten in Huo Yunting's office.

At present, Xia Chuwei is still not used to going out. She usually doesn't go out unless she can.

In the afternoon, Huo Yunting had no meetings and was working on some work at hand in the office.

He was very busy. Gu Heng and Ji Yan often brought documents to him to sign and reported some matters that needed Huo Yunting to decide.

Xia Chuwei was a little absent-minded all afternoon.

She was so distracted that she didn't even hear Huo Yunting call her.

Until the man walked up to her and said, "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"

Xia Chuwei's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she didn't dare to raise her head to look into Huo Yunting's eyes.

If what was discussed at the meeting is true, then... her kidnapping was most likely caused by Lu Xiubai.

"Yunting, you haven't told me yet how you rescued me from the Evernight City."

Huo Yunting sat on the sofa next to her and leaned forward lazily.

"The boss of Evernight City is an old acquaintance of mine and is willing to sell me a favor."

Xia Chuwei already knew something from Mother Li's mouth.

Therefore, Xia Chuwei didn't believe Huo Yunting's explanation at all.

She raised her head and looked into the man's eyes as deep as the sea.

"In order to save me, did you... pay a big price?"

"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems." The man's voice was low and deep, "As long as the person is fine, those things don't matter."

He didn't deny it.

That means he did pay some price.

After that, no matter how Xia Chuwei asked Huo Yunting what was exchanged for, Huo Yunting never gave her any answer.

Xia Chuwei felt moved and guilty at the same time.

She felt that she was so stupid that she had no brain.

She actually believed in outsiders and almost tricked Huo Yunting.

No, Huo Yunting has been tricked.

If the Lu family's industry is really in country L, then... the relationship between the owner of Evernight City and Lu Xiubai must be quite good.

Then, Lu Xiubai used her as a bargaining chip to blackmail Huo Yunting severely.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuwei made up her mind.

"Yunting, there is something else I forgot to tell you."

Huo Yunting looked down at her, "What's the matter?"

"My departure from city S to country l... was arranged by Lu Xiubai."

Huo Yunting's black eyes instantly became as deep as a well, but there was no unexpected expression on his face.

"Ok, I know."

Looking at the man's calm and handsome face, Xia Chuwei said in surprise: "How do you know?"

"Lu Xiubai and you are childhood sweethearts, and he treats you quite well. He is the only person left who can help you and make you trust him."

Xia Chuwei lowered her head in shame.

At this time, Huo Yunting suddenly said: "Chu Wei, do you know that he once deliberately got you drunk in order to get you?"

...

"The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment. Please call again later..."

Lu Xiubai put down the phone and looked very ugly.

He hears this tone many times every day.

Chuwei's phone...can't be answered.

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and a slim female assistant with a pretty face walked in.
