Xia Yanxi was moved by Qiao Yanli's words when the WeChat notification sounded again.
She opened it and Huo Changsheng sent a voice message.
She didn't want to hear it in front of Qiao Yanli, but Qiao Yanli kept staring at her with his scorching eyes. Her scalp felt numb and she had to click on the voice button.
—Xia Yanxi, why are you becoming less and less polite now? After all, I am also your father. If you say that you have nothing to do with me, then it really doesn’t matter? I have raised you for twenty years. Your brother is the illegitimate son of your mother and another man. I have not told any media. This is all because I care about your mother and your face. Now that dad needs your help in business, is this how you repay dad? Your mother and sister will return to China next weekend, and the media will come over for a small interview. I don’t want the media to write that our family doesn’t get along, so you’d better come back! By the way, I went to see Mumu today, and he promised to go home that day.
After listening to Huo Changsheng's voice, Xia Yanxi was so angry that she was shaking all over.
How could he, a father, be so shameless and go to the hospital to find Mumu
Qiao Yanli saw that Xia Yanxi's eyes were filled with crystal mist. He held her small face with his big hands and used his rough fingertips to try to remove the tears that slipped out of the corners of her eyes. He said in a low voice, "Yan Xi, I’ll go back with you that day.”
Xia Yanxi knew that he was doing it for her own good, but she didn't want to involve him. If Huo Changsheng knew his identity, wouldn't he act like a blood-sucking insect and try to get benefits from him in the future
Even if he ignored Huo Changsheng, she knew how shameless Huo Changsheng was, and if she bothered him, she might lose a few business deals to him for her sake.
But she didn't want to benefit Huo Changsheng at all. He swallowed up the shares his mother left to her and turned the company into his own. He was so ruthless and unjust and never regarded her as his daughter!
After sniffing, Xia Yanxi adjusted her emotions and said to him, "Yanli, don't pay attention to those people in the Huo family. I can handle it alone that day." If Mu Mu hadn't agreed to go back, she wouldn't have been able to go back.
Qiao Yanli lowered his head, pecked Xia Yanxi's lips, and whispered, "Okay, if they dare to bully you, I won't let them go."
Xia Yanxi was amused by the way he defended her. She put her hands around his neck and kissed the corners of his lips. "Thank you, husband. I'll go in and rest first so I won't disturb your work." After saying that, she moved from his legs Stand up.
Qiao Yanli took Xia Yanxi's soft, boneless hand, squeezed it, and kissed the back of her hand before letting her go.
…
Although Xia Yanxi's mood was somewhat affected by Huo Changsheng, she was lying on the bed where Qiao Yanli usually rested in the company, smelling his refreshing scent, and because she didn't get a good rest last night, she fell asleep after a while.
When I woke up, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xia Yanxi made the bed and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. She opened the door and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. She stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or out.
Qiao Yanli was sitting behind the executive desk. When he saw the sales manager looking behind him, he turned slightly and saw Xia Yanxi standing at the door.
Standing up from the leather chair, the lines on his face that seemed cold and indifferent just now suddenly softened, "Are you awake? I'll be finished soon, just wait a moment."
