Huo Yanxi stared at the woman, sobered up a bit: "Yao Man, is that you?" He finally called out her name.
Yao Man, who was being dragged by two men, recognized him at first sight, but she was so embarrassed now that she didn't dare to recognize him at all.
She lowered her head, just wanting to cover herself.
"Oh, we know each other!" The drunkard pinched her chin fiercely: "Bitch, it turns out you have an old sweetheart here, no wonder you don't want to come with us!"
Yao Man looked in pain and couldn't struggle.
"Let her go!" Huo Yanxi's eyes were cold.
He didn't want to take care of it, but that was Yao Man, so he couldn't take care of it.
"You brat, let me tell you, she belongs to us today, get out of our way!" the drunkard shouted arrogantly.
"I'll say it again, let her go!" Huo Yanxi turned her back to the light, with a chill all over her body.
The drunkard didn't recognize him yet, but he already felt a pressure.
People in the nightclub noticed the quarrel here. The manager came with someone. When he saw it was Huo Yanxi, he nodded and bowed quickly: "Hey, Mr. Huo, are you leaving?"
Huo Yanxi glanced at the manager with cold eyes and said in a cold tone: "It's time to clean up your place. You dare to let cats and dogs in."
"Who are you calling a cat or a dog? Say it again!" the drunkard shouted angrily.
The manager immediately understood what was going on. How dare these two people offend Mr. Huo!
"Look carefully, this is Mr. Huo of the Huo family. Get out of here if you still want to live!" The manager secretly sweated, fearing that he would offend Huo Yanxi because of these two people.
"What the hell, Mr. Huo..." The drunkard suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if he had realized something.
They carefully looked at the tall and stern man opposite. Who in Jiangcheng didn't know the Huo family who turned his hands into clouds and rain?
"Are you Huo Yanxi?" The drunkard finally sobered up.
"You haven't apologized yet!" the manager scolded.
Only then did the drunkards realize who they had offended. They were so frightened that they broke into tears and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, but we are blind and blind. We deserve to die. Please be noble and let us go!"
"Get lost!" Huo Yanxi just wanted them to disappear quickly.
"Get out of here!" the manager shouted.
The two drunkards didn't dare to say anything more, and they didn't dare to drag Yao Man anymore, so they got out immediately.
Yao Man was tortured by the drunkards just now. Her hair was messy and her clothes were disheveled. She didn't dare to look at Huo Yanxi. She was too embarrassed at the moment.
She turned around to avoid it, but the man's deep voice suddenly sounded: "Yao Man, stand here!"
She paused, but still had no face to face him. Then she started to leave, but the manager immediately asked the waiter to stop her.
"Yao Man, didn't you hear Mr. Huo's call?" the manager said angrily.
Yao Man turned her back to Huo Yanxi. She couldn't walk away, and she didn't have the courage to look back. She stood there frozen for a while.
Huo Yanxi's eyes were heavy, and he walked up to her, walked up to her, and looked down at her.
She almost buried her head in her chest, her body was trembling, and she bit her lips tightly, as if she was restraining something.
"You're back? Why... didn't you tell me?" Huo Yanxi looked at her in a panic, and her tearful face when she was forced to leave suddenly flashed in his mind.
His words made Yao Man's restrained emotions finally break, and she finally raised her head to look at him.
Huo Yanxi saw her face covered with tears and looked so pitiful, and his heart twitched inexplicably.
"You..." He frowned tightly.
"Yanxi..." Yao Man called out his name, tears streaming down uncontrollably: "Yanxi, I..." She wanted to say something, but a wave of dizziness hit her and she fainted.
Huo Yanxi took action to support her in time: "Yao Man!"
…
Hospital
"This patient is not seriously ill. She just fell into coma due to overwork and being drunk a lot. After the hangover, she will be fine after the infusion," the doctor said to Huo Yanxi.
Huo Yanxi frowned and looked at Yao Man on the hospital bed. She was much thinner than before. It seemed that she had suffered a lot during her absence.
He didn't know why she came back or why she went to the nightclub to sell alcohol.
Not long after the doctor left, Yao Man woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome man standing next to her. A flash of panic flashed in her eyes: "Yan Xi..." When she remembered, he stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders: "Don't move, you are getting an infusion."
Yao Man lay back on the bed, glanced at him and started to dodge again, lowering his eyes and not daring to make a sound.
Huo Yanxi didn't speak either, and the ward fell into awkward silence.
"When did you come back?" After a moment, he spoke first.
"I...some time ago." Her hands grasped the sheets tightly.
"Aren't you studying in the UK? Why are you selling alcohol in a nightclub?" His eyes were fixed on her. Before she left, she clearly wanted to study abroad.
There were complicated emotions in Yao Man's eyes, and she was silent for a while before saying: "I dropped out of school, my mother passed away..." She couldn't say any more words.
Huo Yanxi was a little surprised and wanted to say something, but seeing her looking sad, he couldn't ask any more questions.
Yao Man could be discharged from the hospital after infusion, and Huo Yanxi sent her home.
Her home was in the last old community in the west of the city. He sent her home but was told that there was a gas explosion and a fire in the community. It was the building where she lived. Firefighters were putting out the fire, and her last habitat was gone.
Already.
"No..." Yao Man looked at the home that was gradually burned down in the fire and almost collapsed.
Huo Yanxi hugged her to prevent her from running into the fire impulsively.
"Yanxi, my home, I have no home anymore..." She cried bitterly.
Huo Yanxi sighed softly: "Forget it, you can stay at my place first."
Yao Man, who had lost his home, followed Huo Yanxi to his residence. This was the high-end apartment where he lived alone. He had lived here before returning to Yueshu.
"Is it suitable for me to live here?" Yao Man looked at the masculine apartment, her heart beating a little fast.
"There is no one else here. You can stay here for the time being without restraint." Huo Yanxi took her to the room next to the master bedroom: "You live in this room. I don't have women's clothes here. I'll have someone come over and buy some for you later."
Daily necessities and clothing.”
Yao Man tightened her clothes and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with her home being burned down.
"Thank you."
Huo Yanxi glanced at her: "It should be." He couldn't just ignore her.
Yao Man suddenly blurted out and asked: "Where is Ye Ruge? Doesn't she live here?" How could she not know that she was his wife.
Huo Yanxi's eyes flashed slightly and his tone was calm: "She lives in Yueshu." That was their home after they got married, but he hardly lived there.
"Oh..." Yao Man saw that his expression was wrong and did not dare to ask further, secretly wondering if he and Ye Ruge were separated?
"I still have something to do in the company. You should rest first. If you need anything, call me." Huo Yanxi picked up the suit jacket placed on the sofa and prepared to go out.
"Okay, I understand." Yao Man looked very obedient.
Huo Yanxi then asked her assistant to come over and help her buy clothes while he went to the company.
Yao Man took a shower, put on the high-end satin nightgown she just asked her assistant to buy, and looked at herself in the mirror with a strange smile.
Her hard days are over, and this time, she will not leave him again.
