Whether it was Ji Yaqin or Xia Yinxue, it would never be her turn.
"She's doing this for…the Xia family's inheritance!”
"The Xia family's inheritance?"
Xia Zhitong initially understood that Huo Wanyi was doing this because she wanted Xia Yinxue to marry Huo Chengxi instead of her daughter, Ji Yaqin. But…did the Xia family still have any inheritance? Wasn't the Xia family bankrupt?
Huo Chengxi's cold eyes stared at Xia Zhitong. Xia Zhitong looked into his eyes seriously. Those bewitching eyes seemed to suck her in…
"The Xia family didn't go bankrupt at all. It was just that your mother transferred it in advance. The wealth your father left you is far greater than you can imagine. Huo Wanyi is interested in the inheritance your father left you. That's why she came to the Xia family to discuss the marriage between the two families.”
Xia Zhitong's heart skipped a beat. The words Uncle Yan had said to her in front of the Xia family mansion suddenly appeared in her mind.
She took a deep breath and grabbed Huo Chengxi with trembling hands." What about you? What are you thinking? Will you agree to the Huo family's arrangements?”
"The Hunts arranged for me?" Huo Chengxi's hawk-like eyes were as dark and sharp as a cheetah's. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her nervous expression. A cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Mr. Hunt, aren't you the only son of the Hunts? Weren't only members of the Hunts and those who had close ties with the Hunts allowed to attend the Hunts 'banquet that day?”Xia Zhitong was suddenly confused. All this while, it was just her guess. In S City, there was only one financial group with the surname Huo. She had also verified the name Huo Chengxi. How could she be mistaken?
Huo Chengxi's large hand left her slender waist and cupped her face. His voice was low and charming." Of course I'm the only son of the Huo family…"
Xia Zhitong suddenly realized that his deep eyes were flashing with a cold light that made her feel uneasy. However, she shook her head and believed that it was just her imagination.
"You know, I don't get along with my aunt. My aunt is my father's cousin. She has disliked me since I was young, but because I am the only son of the Huo family, she doesn't dare to touch me. The more she wants me to marry Xia Yinxue, the less I will marry her. Silly girl, don't worry. In a few days, my aunt will find you…"
Huo Chengxi looked at Xia Zhitong's confused eyes. She looked at him in confusion. His devilish lips curled into a smug smile because he knew that Xia Zhitong had completely believed him.
While she was still in a daze, his lips suddenly landed on hers.
His low and hoarse voice rang in her ears, and his kiss landed on her delicate neck." Don't worry too much, okay? With me around, she won't dare to do anything to you…"
Xia Zhitong closed her eyes and wrapped her trembling hands around his shoulders.
She could only passively accept Huo Chengxi's kiss, but her heart was filled with questions.
Was Huo Chengxi and his aunt really just like what he said? They just didn't like each other? Based on her woman's intuition, she felt that their relationship was not that simple.
Huo Chengxi was very considerate. He helped her pack all her luggage from the dormitory.
For the entire afternoon, Xia Zhitong was busy moving her things into her new " home ".
"Actually, you don't have to prepare anything.”Huo Chengxi waved his hand, and a few young and beautiful servants opened the cupboard door. The gorgeous dresses were arranged one by one. Under the flickering lights, they were so dazzling. Compared to the plain dresses in Xia Zhitong's hands, the ones in her hands were like they were picked up from the trash can.
"I like them because they have memories.”Xia Zhitong hung the clothes in her hands into the cabinet one by one and said softly," What I like is not its gorgeous appearance, but the comfort it makes me feel when I wear it. I promise to wear whatever you want me to wear in the future, but at home, if I want to wear them, can you not stop me?”
Huo Chengxi laid lazily on the sofa and watched her carefully put the most ordinary clothes into the wardrobe. Her figure was so delicate. The sunlight shone through the huge glass window and fell on her seaweed-like hair. The strands of light swayed slightly with her movements. She was a little tired from tidying up. She wiped her sweat, and the corners of her lips were still smiling. She was so satisfied.
He began to have some doubts. What kind of woman was this?
Wasn't she taking the initiative to pester him for his wealth and power? Why was she pretending to be thrifty in front of him now? He could always see through everything, but he could not understand this woman.
He stood up abruptly and walked to her side." You can wear whatever you want. I won't stop you, but if I ask for it, you have to listen to me. Do you understand?"
His words sounded kind and understanding, but in fact, the final right to explain still belonged to him!
" Got it, Mr. Huo…" Xia Zhitong turned around and smiled sweetly at him. She was as beautiful as a summer flower.
Huo Chengxi's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He deliberately lowered his tone and whispered," I'm going out for a while. You can take your time here. If you're tired, go to sleep first. You don't have to wait for me to come back."”
Her heart felt like it was falling when she put down her clothes.
He wanted her to stay with him, but he wanted her to sleep alone. Previously, she was still worried about sleeping with him at night. Now, she was relieved!
Suddenly, he hugged her domineeringly. Xia Zhitong was shocked by the sudden suffocating feeling on her chest. Before she could react, his delicate kiss had already landed on her forehead.
The scene was so beautiful that it was like a husband saying goodbye to his wife.
Husband and wife?
Was she thinking too much?
As she fantasized, in the blink of an eye, there was nothing around her…
Xia Zhitong held the crumpled dress in her hands, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
The night gradually darkened…
She sat alone by the big white bed and looked at the empty room. This seemingly warm room during the day seemed especially lonely and cold at night…She looked at the bright moon and her heart burned with longing.
Her hand touched the soft bedsheet and felt the soft cotton wipe her palm. It was the warmth that belonged to him…
She was wearing a cartoon pajamas and sat there alone for a long time.
When the needle reached 10, she couldn't help but send Huo Chengxi a text message.
"Mr. Hunt, are you coming back tonight?”
She waited in a daze until the phone screen went dark. She pressed the unlock button again and stared at the screen in a daze…until it went dark again…
This repeated until half an hour later.
He replied with a text message,"In an hour, you go to sleep first."”
These few words made her both surprised and nervous.
He was coming back. What should she do?
This was the first night they were officially living together. What should she do? Should she take the initiative or keep her distance from him? Would he despise her pajamas? They were so old-fashioned, so silly, and not sexy at all?
However, was it too late to buy new pajamas now?
"Xia Zhitong, what are you thinking about?”She shook her head desperately and slapped her blushing face.
She took a deep breath and looked up at the clock.
He would be back in fifty minutes. He had worked so hard every day. He must be very tired when he came back.
Xia Zhitong walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen…
"Aiya, Miss Xia, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you doing in the kitchen?”The servants put on their clothes and asked respectfully.
"I want to make supper for Mr. Hunt.”
Xia Zhitong opened the fridge and searched for ingredients…
