Huo Juanyan’s face was as cold as still water, his eyes deep and dark, like an abyss that sent shivers down one’s spine without the cold.
"Did Nanny Wang say that, or did she ask for it?"
His voice was as cold as ice.
Xia Xing immediately felt President Huo’s displeasure and said in a low voice, "Nanny Wang told me this."
Huo Juanyan scoffed in disbelief, "She’s only been living there for a few days and she’s already bought Nanny Wang over. Even you’re speaking for her. It seems she really knows how to make people ’like’ her."
Xia Xing focused on the road ahead, not daring to say another word, lest he anger President Huo even more.
He had thought that President Huo’s good attitude towards Nan Yu today meant he had changed his opinion of her, but now it seemed he was only slightly nicer because she hadn’t caused any trouble.
The moment Nan Yu stepped out of line, President Huo would immediately revert to this icy demeanor that frightened people.
Sitting in the back, Huo Juanyan continued, "Xia Xing, you are my assistant and you work for me. If there’s a next time you speak up for her, you can roll over to her side and be her assistant."
Xia Xing broke out in a sweat and quickly said, "President Huo, I will always remember that I am your assistant and will never again be swayed by the Young Madam."
Only then did Huo Juanyan relax his stern expression and close his eyes to feign sleep again.
As the image of Nan Qingqing’s hypocritical face surfaced in his mind, he abruptly opened his eyes, frowning tightly, his whole being filled with irritability.
Suddenly, turning his head to the side, he caught a faint sweet scent from the blanket beside him, soothing his emotions.
Before long, he calmed down completely.
Huo Juanyan reached out, picked up the blanket, and gently rubbed it with his fingers, as if he could still feel her warmth.
Finally, he lowered his gaze and put the blanket back, his voice hoarse and low.
"Xia Xing, get a new blanket to replace this one."
Xia Xing nodded, "Yes, President Huo."
But when Xia Xing took Huo Juanyan home and turned to discard the white blanket, he found that it had disappeared without a trace.
He scratched the back of his head, puzzled, "Wasn’t that blanket just in the back seat? Where has it gone?"
After searching the car again, he still could not find it.
Xia Xing sighed, "Well, it doesn’t matter. President Huo wanted a new one anyway; this saves me the trouble of dealing with it."
Elsewhere.
Huo Juanyan, looking at the white blanket, showed a trace of annoyance.
"I must be crazy to have secretly taken it with me."
He then tossed it into the deepest part of his wardrobe, as if to pretend the whole episode had never happened.
----
The Huo Mansion.
Nan Yu, having slept enough during the day, was unusually awake at night.
Holding a cup of hot tea, she sat on the balcony, watching the stars in the sky and the glittering lights of the city not far away.
A rare moment of leisure.
So many things had happened recently; initially, the situation was unfavorable, but fortunately, now everything was moving in a positive direction.
She took a sip of her tea and exhaled comfortably.
The next second, her phone rang.
Nan Yu saw the familiar name and answered the call unhurried.
Before she could speak, Sun Lu’s excited voice came from the other end.
"Miss Nan, Captain Yan has found the real culprit. Jiang Feishun has confessed to everything!"
At this news, delight spread across Nan Yu’s face, "How did he confess?"
Sun Lu’s voice continued.
"Tonight, someone came to visit him. After the visit, he directly stated he wanted to turn himself in and then spilled everything."
"Miss Nan, I’ve already sent some of the documents to you. You can have a look first."
Nan Yu paused for a second, then replied, "Alright."
Then she casually asked, "Do you know who went to visit him?"
"It was Meng Yi."
