His forehead was pressed against hers, and the tip of his nose rubbed against hers. Their breaths intertwined, and there was an indescribable intimacy.
Even if he did nothing and just held her quietly like this, he felt happy both physically and mentally.
Xia Yanxi's cell phone rang suddenly.
She wanted to get out of his arms to answer the phone, but he held her tightly and wouldn't let go.
Smelling his crisp breath close at hand, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, "Yanli, let me answer the phone first."
But he didn't seem to hear her words, still holding her tightly, his handsome face even buried in her pink neck.
His hot breath spread on the skin on her neck, tickling her a little.
She picked up the mobile phone on his desk and didn't push him anymore, letting him hold it quietly.
When she saw the caller ID, she was slightly stunned.
It was Huo Changsheng, whom he had not had any contact with for many days.
Regarding this father, Xia Yanxi really wanted his love before, but after so many years, she has really grown cold.
Her biological daughter was actually no match for her stepdaughter. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Maybe it's because his mother is gone and he is confused by Yao Manlian, so he doesn't like her!
After taking a deep breath, she pressed the answer button and said quietly, "Mr. Huo, are you okay?"
"Yan Xi, how are you these days? I saw entertainment news in the past two days, and you made the headlines again. Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding. Is everything okay now?"
Xia Yanxi didn't understand why Huo Changsheng suddenly called and cared about her. She frowned and said, "Mr. Huo, if you have anything to do, just tell me!"
"Yan Xi, business at home has been bad recently. I heard that at the last auction, someone spent 200 million to buy you a ruby necklace and land. When will you be free to introduce your father to that rich man?"
When Xia Yanxi heard Huo Changsheng's words, she subconsciously looked at the man buried in his neck, her eyebrows furrowed deeper and her voice became softer, "Mr. Huo, if it's for this kind of thing, you don't have to call me. .I don’t know any rich people, and the things you hear are just rumors.”
Even if Yanli was rich, she wouldn't let him help Huo Changsheng. She didn't want their marriage to turn into a relationship of interest.
What's more, Huo Changsheng has no feelings for her. When he didn't need her, he ignored her. Now that he needs her, he wants to use her. She is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by him.
"Yan Xi, how did you talk to dad? A man is willing to pay a high price to buy that useless piece of land. How could he have no money? Now that you have entered the entertainment industry, you know many powerful people. Dad only needs you to help me introduce him. Come on, you won’t lose any meat!”
"Mr. Huo, I said when I left home that I have nothing to do with you in the future. Isn't your dearest daughter also in the entertainment industry? She has been in the industry longer than me, and she must know more powerful people than me. If you need help, just ask Go find her! I have something else to do, so I won’t tell you anymore, bye!"
Xia Yanxi hung up the phone before Huo Changsheng said anything.
Taking a breath, she suppressed the pain and discomfort in her chest, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Fathers and daughters like Huo Changsheng and her should be rare in the world!
After Xia Yanxi answered the phone, Qiao Yanli raised his head from her neck. Looking at her slightly red eyes, he held her little face in his hands and said softly, "Mrs. Qiao, don't be sad. Even if everyone in the world doesn't want you, your husband will still be by your side."
