His eyes reflected a blood-red ruthlessness.
Xia Zhitong was stunned. Did he already know that she and Xia Yinxue were sisters?
Xia Zhitong shook her head." No, she just slapped me. Xia Yinxue is not a bad person. She's just jealous.”
Suddenly, Huo Chengxi's hand slid to her delicate neck and grabbed the earring necklace. He said fiercely," Jealous? Jealousy was the beginning of hatred! One day, ignorant forgiveness will become a rope around your neck, strangling you to death!”
She felt a pain in her neck. She raised her head and looked at her with difficulty.
Huo Chengxi's expression at that moment was like a storm that came without warning. Xia Zhitong didn't know how she had offended him again and immediately kept quiet.
"You won't understand now. When you lose everything one day, you will understand the feeling of being strangled by someone and living a life worse than death!”
His expression was as calm as a receding tide. His deep eyes fell on the dark blue diamond pendant and he said softly," You must cherish the things you love and don't let them leave you again. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time, understand?”
His lecturing tone made Xia Zhitong even breathe carefully. She could feel that he was very different today, whether it was his expression or his words.
At that moment, Huo Chengxi's phone rang.
"CEO Ji, what's the matter?" Huo Chengxi's voice immediately turned as cold as ice.
Although the person on the other end of the phone didn't dare to reprimand her in person, his tone was clearly unhappy. Xia Zhitong could vaguely hear him saying,""Young Master Kyle, don't blame me for being long-winded, but I have to remind you that your frequent appearances in public this week are very disadvantageous to us. Do you know how special your identity is? Do you know how many people are starting to suspect you? If I didn't spend money to stop a large number of reports about you, you would have already attracted the attention of the entire business world. At that time, it would be much more difficult for us to take action.”
Huo Chengxi lazily lit a cigarette. Cen Leng's lips curled into a cold smile." Jifeng, did you send someone to spy on me again? I've said it before, we're only in a cooperative relationship. The engagement between your daughter and me is just a deal. I know you're afraid that I'll appear in public and ruin your business, but I'm warning you one last time. Don't send anyone to spy on me again, or we'll be done for! You won't get any benefits either!"
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh and compromised," You're going to be my son-in-law soon. Although I'm a father-in-law who's greedy and vain, what I care about the most is not money, but our Yaqin's happiness. This girl likes you, and I can't do anything about it. I know that you married her for revenge, and I can't stop her. As a father, I only hope that you can treat Yaqin well. You can play with women, but don't let someone take a photo and publish it in a magazine. Otherwise, our Yaqin will be sad.”
Huo Chengxi held the phone in his hand. His expression was extremely gloomy. His tone was indifferent and heartless." Okay, I understand."”
He coldly hung up the call and threw the phone on the dressing table.
"Xia Zhitong, come here!" He placed his hands in front of the mirror, his dark eyes as wild and cold as a cheetah.
Xia Zhitong trembled as she slowly got up from the sofa and walked towards him…
Suddenly, the man turned around and grabbed her fragile chin with his big hand. A bone-shattering pain made her eyes fill with tears.
"Name a price and be my lover. Accompany me to eat and sleep with me every day. I want you to be as ostentatious as possible in front of everyone! Don't you lack money? I have money!”His bloodshot dark eyes were so cold that there was no warmth!
Ji Feng, this old fox, actually threatened him. He naturally would not be at his mercy!
Comparing ruthlessness, it was absolutely impossible for Ji Feng to be his match!
Xia Zhitong's watery eyes reflected the man's burning gaze. His fingers were deeply embedded in her soft neck because of his anger. The places where his fingers touched felt as if they had been scalded by fire.
She just looked at him for a long time…
"Mr. Hunt, I think you're a paranoid person. You married a woman you don't love just for revenge. You kept a woman you're completely uninterested in as your mistress purely for revenge. I don't know what I have to make you fall for me, but I can only answer you here that it's impossible. You've got the wrong person…"
Her eyes were rippling. Huo Chengxi frowned at her, as if he could see himself losing control in her clear eyes.
"If…I wasn't completely uninterested in you, if I kept you as a mistress and not purely for revenge, would you be my woman?”
Xia Zhitong was shocked by his mellow, magnetic, and gentle words.
He was such a handsome man with a lot of money and no lack of women, but what about her? Perhaps only her father and deceased mother would cherish her like a pearl in their palms and parasitize her like weeds. It was impossible to attract anyone's attention, let alone such a high and mighty man.
" Impossible…" She shook her head.
Suddenly, his hand gently lifted her chin again, exposing her to him. Her gaze met his deep eyes." Maybe you don't know where your capital and value are. You have a unique temperament and are very special, so I'm interested in you.”
Xia Zhitong stared blankly at the man in front of her, her emotions were complicated. Tears gathered in her beautiful eyes. At that moment, she suddenly felt like crying and was a little touched.
It turned out that she was not the weed that grew in an inconspicuous corner. She grew quietly and blossomed into a beautiful pure white flower. Finally, someone discovered her…wasn't it?
"Thank you, Mr. Hunt. You made me hesitate for a moment just now because I always thought that I was an ordinary girl that I didn't notice. You made me feel that I was special too. However, although I'm touched, I won't sell my body. This is my principle.”
Her watery eyes were filled with determination. Huo Chengxi could see the word 'self-esteem' in her eyes.
His deep eyes stared at her for a long time, and his tightly pursed lips finally relaxed. He said," Since you're unwilling, I won't force you. I'll send you out."”
Huo Chengxi opened the door for Xia Zhitong like a gentleman and escorted her out of the set under the protection of a few bodyguards.
Along the way, his palm held her slender waist tightly and forcefully. She did not know why, but her heart gradually softened like water…
His words just now echoed in her ears. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she did not even notice it.
"I'll send you back." Huo Chengxi got into the car and said to Xia Zhitong.
Xia Zhitong was still standing outside the car door, wearing her costume from before. She hesitated." I think…I don't want to. I'll go back by myself."”
Although Xia Zhitong felt that this man was much more reasonable than the last few times, she still couldn't trust him easily. If possible, she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"Then are you going home in your costume?”Huo Chengxi sized her up with a burning gaze. Her shoulders were soft and her waist was slim. Her emerald green clothes made her look like a willow swaying in the spring breeze.
