Yun Xuefei led him to the guest room and said indifferently, "You’ll stay here tonight. Inside are all new toiletries. You should leave tomorrow morning."
"Mm," Huo Yanzhao hummed softly, his gaze exceptionally gentle, "Thank you."
Yun Xuefei avoided his gaze, turned to leave, but the man caught her wrist.
She was startled, "What are you trying to do now?"
...She just couldn’t be soft-hearted!
"Xuefei, come over and talk with me," Huo Yanzhao wasn’t making any excessive moves, just pleading softly, "I have so much to tell you... Oh right, there’s also news about Jingyao and Zhixi."
"...Zhixi?" Yun Xuefei’s attention was immediately captivated by these two words, "She...?"
"She’s not dead," Huo Yanzhao said with a smile.
"What exactly happened?" Yun Xuefei asked eagerly.
Huo Yanzhao walked toward the sofa, "Sit down, we’ll talk slowly."
Yun Xuefei hesitated slightly, but the news that Zhixi hadn’t died was too shocking. If she didn’t get it clear, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
So, she eventually went over and sat on the sofa.
Huo Yanzhao confidently went to the liquor cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, cleaned two glasses, and came back.
"This bottle of wine is still here." He laughed with some emotion, "I’ve hidden it for so long, didn’t you discover it?"
"Wu Ma cleans the guest rooms." Yun Xuefei shifted her gaze away.
Huo Yanzhao chuckled and sat down beside her.
Yun Xuefei instinctively moved to the side to make room, looking at him with a touch of wariness, "You said Zhixi isn’t dead, so how is she now?"
"She’s doing fine and even gave birth to a son for Jingyao," Huo Yanzhao said as he opened the red wine and handed her a glass, "Oh right, Jingyao’s illness is also cured. So, I’m stepping back after accomplishing my mission, and have also secured a substantial dowry for my daughter."
Yun Xuefei’s eyes widened as she subconsciously took the glass.
Huo Yanzhao gently clinked his glass against hers, "Five percent of the shares in HI Group, guaranteed to keep Tang Yuan well-provided for life."
"...His illness, was it cured by you?" Yun Xuefei couldn’t help but ask curiously, "How did you manage to do it?"
Huo Yanzhao met her gaze, his voice growing softer and deeper, "The principle is simple, but the method is complicated... I’ll tell you slowly later."
After he finished talking, he smiled, lifted his glass, and took a sip.
Yun Xuefei couldn’t help but take a small sip, "So that means, Zhixi is now in Yangdong City?"
"Right," Huo Yanzhao chuckled, "He Jingyao even talked about having his son marry our daughter, but I didn’t agree. There’s no such cheap deal."
Yun Xuefei immediately nodded, "Exactly." Newest update provided by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
She wouldn’t just casually decide her daughter’s future, but Zhixi’s child... she was truly curious and really wanted to meet.
Huo Yanzhao’s gaze was silent and tender, revealing contemplation and soft smiles as he looked at her.
No matter what, at this moment she finally let down all her defenses.
Huo Yanzhao felt a surge in his heart and suddenly leaned in to peck her cheek lightly.
Yun Xuefei jumped in surprise, almost not holding her glass steady, "What are you doing?"
Huo Yanzhao had already put the two glasses back on the table, then leaned in to hold her in his embrace, his voice hoarse, "Xuefei, I’ve missed you so much."
Yun Xuefei suddenly found herself in his arms, only then realizing the man’s body was exceptionally hot.
