Was it the man who took away her first time?
He was wearing a home-made white robe, and his expression was still so cold. At this moment, he was looking down at her.
She raised her hand and subconsciously wanted to push him away. She had just gotten rid of the fever and her hands and feet were sore and weak. She couldn't exert any strength at all. The man in front of her was like a hard rock and couldn't move at all. Instead, he picked her up horizontally!
"You—let go of me!"
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have slipped into a powerful and hot whirlpool as she struggled in the man's arms in horror.
Ignoring her cries, Mr. Huo carried her straight back to the bedroom. He walked to the big bed, bent down, and threw her on the soft bed without any pity.
Su smiled and turned his head. He was shocked by the man's actions and didn't move for a long time. He curled up in a corner of the large bed and looked at him vigilantly.
Mr. Huo sat on the sofa in the corner of the bedroom, with his long and slender legs raised. "Sister Lan."
"Yes, Third Lord!"
Sister Lan went over to check Su Xiaoxiao's foot. Fortunately, it was fine. She was just scratched by the glass debris. She quickly went out to take the first aid kit from her family and bandaged Su Xiaoxiao's feet. Then, she cleaned up the glass fragments on the ground and left.
The atmosphere in the room became quiet. Su Xiaoxiao felt cold sweat running down her back. "I... why am I here?"
It seemed that this was the man's residence.
Just by looking at the decoration of the bedroom and the maid, one could tell that the man had a high status.
No wonder Yue Ziqian would give her to him...
"I saw you faint at the door of Yue Ziqian's apartment," Mr. Huo said lightly.
The scene between Yue Ziqian and Su Manman came back to Su Xiaoxiao's mind. She felt humiliated and remembered something. She said tentatively, "The clothes on my body..."
"Sister Lan changed it."
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Mr. Huo saw her complicated expression and his beautiful, thin lips curved into a line of mockery. "I've already slept with you. Do you still care about being changed by me?"
She bit her lips and turned her head, too lazy to talk to him.
However, he kept chasing after her. He bent his head, pinched her lower jaw, and said to himself, "Haven't you already broken up with Yue Ziqian? Why are you still looking for him?"
Su Xiaoxiao's beautiful brows knitted together.
How did he know that he had broken up with Yue Ziqian?
It must have been the man who had followed her out when she had called Yue Ziqian in the day and heard her.
Now, she didn't think that he was kind enough to bring her back, who was in a coma.
Could it be that he had tasted the sweetness and wanted to do it again?
She bit her lower lip and said, "I don't care what kind of deal you have with Yue Ziqian. I don't care whether he wants to please you or not. But now, I've broken up with Yue Ziqian. I have nothing to do with him anymore. I'll go first."
She jumped out of bed and walked to the bedroom door in pain.
"Hold on." Mr. Huo's voice came slowly, cold and noble.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks and looked at him warily. "Is there anything else?"
"Without Yue Ziqian's support, it would be hard for your uncle's factory to survive. Have you ever thought of finding another big tree?" Mr. Huo picked up the Chinese-made cigar on the tea table and lit it. He took a long drag on it. His calm and leisurely look made Su Xiaoxiao shiver for no reason. "What do you mean?"
"Your uncle doesn't allow you to break up with Yue Ziqian, so you were forced to reconcile with him. Is that so?"
She bit her lips tightly.
"Are you really willing to reconcile with Yue Ziqian?" Mr. Huo's expression was like a bamboo in his chest, as if he was holding a little prey that could not escape from the Five-finger Mountain in his hand.
How could she be willing to do that? She felt disgusted at the thought of Yue Ziqian.
Mr. Huo took a deep breath of the cigar, and his deep eyes shone with a strange and charming luster under the lamp.
"I can help you cancel the engagement and help you maintain the Su Group."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. How could he be so kind?
"But I have my own conditions as well." Mr. Huo's tone changed.
Sure enough, there were conditions! She held her breath.
"Be my woman." The cigar's spark was half bright and half dark in the man's lips and teeth, making it so that his eyes were even more unfathomable.
Su smiled in a stupefied manner. This was the first time he had heard of someone who was so self-righteous and elegant. "You are crazy."
As she spoke, she walked quickly to the outside of the bedroom. She asked Aunt Lan for some clothes to change and then ran away.
Looking at her beautiful figure, Mr. Huo didn't stop her, but his thin lips curled up.
...
At about seven o'clock in the morning, Su Xiaoxiao returned home.
As soon as Su Tiansheng saw her, he asked anxiously, "Have you reconciled with Yue Ziqian? Is he not angry?"
Her gaze stopped on Su Man, who was having breakfast. Su Man was wearing a light yellow dress. She was as gentle and quiet as usual, as if nothing had happened. A feeling of physical and mental exhaustion overwhelmed her like a tide. She did not say anything and rushed to her bedroom. With a clang, she isolated the uncle and his wife's voices from the door!
The weakness from the fever that had just been removed swept over. Su Xiaoxiao covered herself with the blanket and slept for an entire day.
...
In the evening, Su's natural knock came from outside the room. "Xiaoxiao, Ziqian is here. Come out."
Su Yi frowned and opened the door.
Su Tiansheng pulled her and said in a low voice, "It took your aunt and me a lot of effort to convince Yue Ziqian to invite him to dinner. You have to seize the opportunity and don't offend him anymore!"
"Uncle..."
"Just take it as an uncle begging you, okay?"
Su Xiaoxiao suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, changed her clothes, combed her hair, and walked out.
Yue Ziqian was sitting in the living room, as elegant and gentle as usual. Chen Fengling was talking with a smile on her face. "It's all because of Xiaoxiao's ignorance. Her uncle and I have already reprimanded her. How can we not quarrel when we are in love? Forget it..."
Su Man'man sat on the sofa on the other side and looked at Yue Ziqian tenderly, as if she was enjoying the stimulation of having an affair under everyone's eyes.
A wave of disgust welled up in Su Xiaoxiao's heart.
"Xiaoxiao is coming out? Come on, come and accompany Ziqian." Chen Fengling winked at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao stared at Yue Ziqian and did not move for a long time.
Yue Ziqian's hair stood on end as she stared at him. His brows tightened.
Chen Fengling saw that Yue Ziqian's expression was not very good, so she scolded him in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao—"
Su Xiaoxiao then said to Yue Ziqian, "Can you come over? I have something to tell you." With that, she went to the balcony alone.
Chen Fengling breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yue Ziqian with a smile, "It seems that Xiaoxiao is embarrassed. Ziqian, go there."
Yue Ziqian felt that Su Xiaoxiao was unusually calm, but he still put his hands in the pockets of his trousers and followed her to the balcony.
Su Man watched as the two of them walked up to the balcony one after the other. She closed the glass window and a haze descended on her beautiful face.
Every time she saw Yue Ziqian and Su Xiaoxiao together, she had to endure this kind of rolling jealousy.
No matter how much Yue Ziqian loved her in private, it didn't matter.
In front of everyone, she was always the one who could not be exposed.
"Why? Is it because Su Xiaoxiao is lucky that she is the legitimate fiancee who has been engaged to Yue Ziqian since she was a child?"
She really didn't want to give up!
...
On the balcony.
Su Xiaoxiao went straight to the point. "Yue Ziqian, let me go. Let's break up."
