Huo Shenxiu walked towards her, his deep eyes focused on her pink cheeks under the moonlight:
"Starting today, I will move back to Huayuan. It will be helpful to get along with little Subao and help him grow."
Su Mi's heart bloomed like a flower dipped in water.
But I don’t know why, my brain twitched, and I blurted out:
"...Are you sure? You live in a house near the company. Isn't it more convenient to work if it's closer?"
She was afraid that he was just saying it casually or joking.
Huo Shenxiu narrowed his eyes: "Are you driving me away?"
She shook her head hastily: "No. This is your house. If you want to come back and live in it, who dares to say anything?"
His eyes were fixed on her face, and his voice was always magnetic. At this moment, I don't know if it was because of the quiet night, but there was also a bit of sexy hoarseness: "What about you? Do you hope?"
When he saw her, her heartbeat fluctuated inexplicably too fast, and her back felt hot, so she let out a hum.
Of course she was happy to be able to live under the same roof with him and have more opportunities to get along with him.
Even if he doesn't remember her yet and has no identity with her, she should be satisfied.
That's a lot of progress, isn't it?
"I just bought you a few sets of clothes, so... I'll buy you more daily necessities." She turned around and wanted to enter the house.
But his shoulder was covered by a big hand, neither light nor heavy, pulling it around with half force and half gentleness.
He looked at her with his dark eyes, half-smiling: "Did you come to Huayuan to steal Butler He's job? You have done all these things, what did you ask them to do?"
She breathed a sigh of relief and felt his hands on her shoulders again, stroking the tender skin on her shoulders through the thin clothes she wore at home.
There is no shyness in the movements, even a little unscrupulous.
I have no intention of taking it away at all.
She could sense the ambiguous fireworks in the air surrounding the two of them.
She could feel that he had begun to have a good impression of her, otherwise, he would not be willing to stay in Huayuan.
But this kind of good feeling is definitely not love.
It's more like a man has taken a fancy to a beautiful, plump and interesting prey.
Quite true.
This man has been single for four or five years.
A woman who is not ugly takes the initiative to get involved with him, and she is his ex-wife. How can it not be used?
She was very happy that his attitude towards her had improved, but...
I don't want to tie him up simply by relying on the relationship between a man and a woman or the physical connection.
She wanted him to really like her, just like before.
She gently pulled his hand down: "Well, okay. It all depends on Mr. Huo."
He looked at the little prey's silent resistance, and the interest in his eyes deepened.
She has really changed.
Before she was admitted to the hospital due to a car accident, she had been pestering herself for so long, some of which took the initiative and deliberately used her beauty to seduce her.
It's just that he has a weird temper. The more proactive he is, the more disgusted he becomes.
Now that he has offered to live here, she actually behaves like a little girl in ancient times who was cautious and serious and did not dare to take a step beyond the rules.
He was very interested: "Mr. Huo? Do you plan to call me that in the future?"
Su Mi was funny: "Didn't you ask me to call you that?"
His eyebrows tightened slightly: "From now on, just call me the same as Butler He and Han Fei."
She nodded and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, your mood changes ten times a day."
Seeing that she didn't speak, he moved a few inches closer and said, "Call someone to listen."
Su Mi: "..."
But she still complied with his wishes: "Second Master."
The soft and melodious voice made his Adam's apple inexplicably burn. He took two steps closer to her and whispered:
"It's getting late. Let's take little Subao into the house and go to sleep together."
Her rose lips twitched slightly.
I knew clearly that he didn't mean what he meant by "sleeping together", but I still couldn't help but think about it.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
It's his.
Huo Shenxiu answered the phone and said "Hey" lazily, but his eyes still fell directly on her.
She felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she simply turned her eyes and looked at the little Subao who was playing in the distance.
After a while, his voice seemed a little more serious:
"...Is that so? Okay, then you wait there."
Then she looked at him, watched him hang up the phone, and asked, "What happened?"
"Well, let's go out for a while."
When she saw a phone call coming from him, all the relaxation and joy he had felt before was gone. He had to go out so late, and her heart felt inexplicably:
"Is there something important?"
He didn't hide it from her: "An acquaintance had a car accident. I'll go to the scene to help solve the problem. It's okay. You and Xiao Subao have a rest first. I'll be back later."
He strode out of the backyard.
Seeing how anxious he was now, Su Mi didn't hesitate to ask more questions, but she secretly beat her heart.
His acquaintance?
An acquaintance who asked him to solve problems for him in the middle of the night must be a very close relationship.
Who could it be?
…
The corner of Jinlong Road is only three kilometers away from Tancheng Airport.
A private car was parked irregularly beside a flower bed, and the front fuselage was dented, apparently from a recent impact.
The driver was taking notes on the roadside and telling the traffic police about the car accident just now.
On the other side, a slender figure was holding his arms, seemingly in shock, his hair was messy, and he was shivering.
From time to time he raised his head and looked around, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
A black Maybach 57 gradually approached in the night and parked outside the warning tape.
When Zhu Jiaojiao saw the luxury car, her look of panic turned into surprise, but her face became deflated again, and tears fell heavily.
The car door opened, Huo Shenxiu got out of the car, said a few words to the traffic police, raised the warning and took him away.
She immediately ran up and said, "Second Master——"
She was still half a step away from him when she bent her legs and fell into his arms with a sound.
It seems that he accidentally hit something in the car accident just now.
Huo Shenxiu impartially grabbed her wrist and held her steady before letting her fall into his arms: "Are you injured?"
Zhu Jiaojiao stood still and then managed to stand upright. When she looked up, she saw tears of grievance on her face. She shook her head as if she had seen a relative:
"It's okay. I just bumped into the flower bed and bumped my calf. It doesn't matter."
He saw that there were indeed two bruises on her calf under her skirt, but they didn't look serious, so he didn't say anything more: "Why did you come to Tancheng all of a sudden?"
Zhu Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with tears:
"My father and my cousin came to the branch in China for a meeting last week. I came with him. I was bored, so I just played around by myself. It happened that we came to Tancheng at this stop."
"After getting off the plane, on the way to the hotel in the appointed car, I accidentally got into a small car accident. It was not a big deal at first, and I didn't want to disturb the second master, but I have never encountered such a thing. I live alone in Tancheng.
I’m not familiar with the place and I’m a little scared, so I contacted you.”
"I'm sorry, Second Master, for bothering you so late..."
