The soft, fragrant scent assailed his face, and his charming lips opened and closed seductively like petals. Mr. Huo's eyes darkened. "Do you know you were wrong?"
"You're wrong..."
"How dare you meet another man in private behind my back?"
She took a deep breath. Her words sounded like she was trying to catch someone, but she could only say in a low voice, "I don't dare."
A satisfied line appeared on his thin lips. "Let's go downstairs and eat."
After that, he walked to the door.
She was stunned for a moment. Did he just forget about it? She heaved a sigh of relief.
After returning to his own room to change his clothes, Su smiled and went downstairs. When he saw that the table was already full of steaming dishes, he didn't feel hungry at first. However, when he smelled the food, he felt hungry and his stomach began to growl.
Mr. Huo was sitting at the dining table, facing the business tablet before the meal. He was dealing with the official e-mail. When he heard her stomach calling, he raised his head and looked over.
Su Xiaoxiao blushed. Fortunately, Sister Lan's voice broke her embarrassment.
"Miss Su, come and eat. You've just gotten rid of your fever, and you're still very weak. You need more nutrition."
There was a deep meaning in Sister Lan's tone. Su Xiaoxiao knew that Sister Lan must have misunderstood. She had a feeling that she wanted to explain but was incompetent. In the end, she could only walk to the dining table.
This was the first time she had had dinner with him since she moved into the imperial family.
Having not eaten anything for a whole day, she had a great appetite. In addition, Sister Lan was really good at cooking. She ate the food without hesitation.
Mr. Huo had never eaten much at dinner. Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, he looked at the girl opposite him, who was eating happily.
Ha, this girl is really rude.
Sister Lan liked this kind of girl who was not picky about food the most. When she served the last soup, she saw that Su Xiaoxiao almost had all the dishes on the table. She couldn't help but say with a smile, "It's better to be young. Third Master, you see, the little girl has a good appetite and can eat anything. It's so good to raise her!"
Mr. Huo frowned slightly. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm old?" Subconsciously, he frowned and said, "Sister Lan, you talk a little too much today."
Sister Lan was stunned. "Oh, are you talking too much? Third Master usually doesn't complain about me like that, but he still left."
On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao saw someone's unhappy expression and pursed her lips. "Humph, a man's self-esteem is really strong."
He was afraid that others would say that he was old! He was an uncle! Humph, uncle, uncle!
She was proudly spitting it out when the phone in her pocket vibrated and she received a text message.
She took out her phone and placed it on her lap. She looked down and saw that it was Rong Yu's text message.
A few short words: "Xiaoxiao, I want to see you again."
Her complaining heart suddenly disappeared, and her heart beat as fast as a deer. Subconsciously, she looked up and glanced at the man sitting in front of her. She felt a little guilty for fear of being discovered by him.
She didn't want to be punished for their private meeting just now, so she didn't want to come again.
"Whose phone number is it?" He obviously noticed it. He shook the red wine, and the crystal clear and noble liquid made his facial features look more dignified and delicate.
"A commercial text message." She hurriedly put away her mobile phone, for fear that he would turn it over and check it for her.
Fortunately, he did not pursue the matter further and continued to eat.
After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao saw that he had gone to the study and went back to his room. She took out her mobile phone and turned to Rong Yu's text message. She took a deep breath and replied, "Brother Rong Yu, I'm really fine. Don't worry about me. I'm a little busy recently. Let's talk about our meeting later."
...
Dihao Group.
In the CEO's office.
The internal phone rang, and the sweet voice of the secretary floated out. "Mr. Huo, Mr. Rongyu is looking for you, but he didn't make an appointment in advance. Do you need to ask him to leave?"
Rong Yu.
Mr. Huo's eyes quickly focused for a moment. He didn't expect this man to come knocking on his door. He said blandly, "Send him in."
Five minutes later.
The secretary knocked on the door of the president's office, and a tall and handsome young figure came in, attracting the attention of Mr. Huo.
Rong Yu looked at the man behind the desk. The man in the prime of his life was dressed in an iron-gray suit, and his dark eyes looked straight at him with a sense of unfathomable coldness. He was sitting in the office on the highest floor of the building. Behind him, outside the French window was the most expensive and prosperous part of the capital. He seemed to be an emperor who could command the country at any time. Although he was sitting, he did not hide his momentum at all.
The Third Young Master of the Huo family lived up to his reputation.
Rong Yu didn't beat around the bush. "Mr. Huo, since you're willing to meet me, you must know who I am."
"I should have known that the owner of the J.K game is young, but I didn't expect that the younger generation is really formidable."
Mr. Huo's eyes were indifferent, and there was a kind of arrogance and contempt in his tone.
No matter how young and promising Rong Yu was, as the king of the business world, he didn't take a rising star seriously.
"I didn't come here today as the boss of the J.K. Group. I know that some time ago, Xiaoxiao went to ask Mr. Huo for help because of me. Moreover, she might have reached some conditions with Mr. Huo. I found out that Xiaoxiao is currently living with Mr. Huo." Speaking of this, Rong Yu's facial muscles tightened. Obviously, he tried his best to restrain his emotions. "Xiaoxiao is still a little girl. Mr. Huo, please don't make things difficult for her."
The atmosphere fell rapidly.
There was coldness in the dark eyes of Mr. Huo, and a hint of banter appeared on his beautiful thin lips. "Xiaoxiao? Do you mean the little pet I raised recently?"
Rong Yu's expression changed.
The man in front of her was full of provocation. He didn't mind telling the world that Xiaoxiao was his.
Could it be that in order to save her, Xiao Xiaoxiao was really... with Third Young Master Huo...
He couldn't hold it in any longer. "If she promises anything, I'll put it all on her. I'll pay it back for her. Please let her go immediately!"
The mocking smile on the corners of Mr. Huo's lips froze. "Pay her back? How are you going to pay her back? Are you using the identity of the owner of the J.K. Group, or are you using the identity of the young master of the Mo family's illegitimate child?"
Rong Yu's eyes narrowed. Mr. Huo had secretly investigated her a long time ago.
"Don't say that she's willing. Even if she's unwilling, the person I want won't be able to escape from my hands. I won't allow any other man to ask me for someone." Mr. Huo stood up and coldly threw out a sentence. He then pressed down on the planted agent and said, "Send the guest out."
The secretary hurried in and walked towards Rong Yu. "Mr. Rong, please—"
Rong Yu stared at him. "You're under house arrest. I don't believe that Xiaoxiao is really willing to be with you!"
Mr. Huo Beilou stood with his hands behind his back, and his tall and straight figure looked even more domineering.
"I won't talk to a child. Tell your master to come."
These short words were full of ferocity and fierceness.
Rong Yu clenched his fists. He had clearly caught hold of his weakness.
Mr. Huo knew very well that he hated his biological father and had been running away from the Mo family.
After leaving the orphanage, he did look for his family everywhere.
However, ever since he found out that he was an illegitimate child abandoned by the prime minister, Mo Shaoxiong, and learned of his birth and his mother's tragedy, he had become a disgrace to him.
