you were deceived by men!"After he finished speaking, he left.Wen Man was stunned.She took her phone to transfer a few thousand from her bank card to her Alipay, but as soon as she looked at it, she...Ho Xi didn't say a word.

She walked straight into the garden, and behind her, Lu Qian patted Zhang Chongguang's shoulder: "Young man, breakups are normal."

Zhang Chongguang lowered his head in silence.

Lu Qian thought this child was different from before.

The silence was a bit too much.

Mingzhu brought Zhang Chongguang to the guest room in the backyard and settled him down. Zhang Chongguang softly said, "Thank you, aunt."

"What are you thanking me for!"

Mingzhu whispered softly, "What's going on Your Aunt Wen isn't very reassured about you. She asked me to take care of you! Wasn't it true that you and your sister got along well not long ago"

"It was my fault!" Zhang Chongguang said, his voice slightly hoarse.

He didn't mince words, laying out the whole story. Even Mingzhu was speechless with astonishment.

For a long time, she sighed: "It's no wonder Huo Xi doesn't forgive you! With her domineering personality since childhood, she couldn't stand being beaten by you like that! Not to mention she waited for 8 years."

Zhang Chongguang was heartbroken.

Mingzhu comforted him again: "Take it slow!"

Like Huo Shaoting and his wife, she could never bring herself to be truly ruthless. She still treated Zhang Chongguang like a child of the family. While she would criticize him, she never wanted to see him in despair.

Let him have a rest for a while,

Had lunch together.

This was the first time Zhang Chongguang had dinner with Huo Xi in over a month.

Huo Xi ate silently, saying little. Lu Qian kept looking after her.

"Grandfather's brother, I can't eat anymore."

" Nonsense, you could eat two bowls of rice when you were a child. How come your stomach got smaller as you grew up"

When her uncle piled up a mountain of vegetables for her.

He Xi had no appetite and ate slowly.... Zhang Chongguang suddenly took most of the dishes. He looked at her: "If you can't eat, don't force it."

Ho Xi was about to argue with him, but considering Lu Qian and Ming Zhu were present, he swallowed his words.

Zhang Chongguang smiled faintly.

Huo Xi found it particularly uninteresting. After the meal, she deliberately waited for Zhang Chongguang on the path in the backyard. In the afternoon sun of spring, the wisteria flowers bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance.

Ho Xi leaned against a tree, stretching out his long limbs.

Zhang Chongguang walked closer, his footsteps startling her.

Huo Xi opened his eyes and looked at the person, saying calmly: "Zhang Chongguang, we're just living in our relatives' house now, it doesn't mean anything else. Don't do that again during meals."

"Is it wrong if I eat what you can't"

Huoxi chuckled: "What kind of relationship do we have, getting so close!"

He looked at her, for a long time, and then she smiled: “Do you believe it yourself”

She was too tired to say more and was about to go back to her room.

Zhang Chongguang spoke: "At 2 p.m., we'll go to the other company for preliminary negotiations."

Hose nodded.

When she left, Zhang Chongguang's voice echoed behind her: "Hoxi, if I could choose, I would give up everything for that slap!"

Huo Xi didn't stop her steps, she just smiled faintly.

It's a pity, life has no ifs.

She went back to her room for a nap and, after tidying up briefly, got into Zhang Chongguang's car to go to his company. As she got in the car, she noticed that Zhang Chongguang's face was a bit off, so she asked, "Do you need to postpone Your face looks bad, it might affect the negotiation."

"Do you care about me" Zhang Chongguang asked, tilting his head.

Ho Xi said nonchalantly, “I only care about the work results!”

Zhang Chongguang lightly tapped the accelerator, his tone flat: "Yeah! You now hate me deeply, even if I'm terminally ill you don't care."

A man is putting on a show of misery, and Huo Xi can still sense it.

She no longer spoke.

An hour later, the car stopped downstairs at the negotiation center.

Six hours of negotiations, a tense standoff.

To Huo Xi's surprise, Zhang Chongguang, despite his poor complexion, remained sharp and resolute in defending his interests. He was very assertive.

During the tea break, Hsi hoped to discuss the case with him.

Zhang Chongguang, however, went pale and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Huo Xi sat in the lounge, flipping through documents. The snacks before him remained untouched.

It took Zhang Chongguang about 15 minutes to come out of the restroom.

He sat down beside Hsi and whispered to her about the negotiation they had just finished. Hsi closed the file: "You should go back to rest! Are you trying to work yourself to death"

"Feeling sorry for them"

"I pity nothing! Your life is your own!"

For some reason, Hsi was feeling a little angry. She walked out to the balcony.

It was already dark, and she hadn't had dinner yet. Actually, she was used to this kind of work intensity.

But that doesn't mean she's willing to collaborate with someone who is sick.

Zhang Chongguang is sick!

She didn't know how to persuade him, and she didn't know how to get along with him. Maybe... it would be better to collaborate with a different lawyer.

Huo Xi was somewhat angry.

But no matter what, the negotiation still went on until 10 pm. Walking out of the building, Zhang Chongguang slumped in his car, unable to get up, with a burning forehead.

"Zhang Chongguang!"

Ho Xi opened the driver's seat door, letting him sit in the back, and she came to drive.

Zhang Chongguang leaned on the steering wheel.

After a long pause, he slightly turned his head and softly asked her, "Ho Xi, do you still feel sorry for me"

"Huo Xi sneered, 'Men who are sympathetic don't have a good ending!'"

She dragged him down, "I'm taking you to the hospital!"

Zhang Chongguang took her hand in his.

He was burning with fever, yet his strength was astonishingly great, "Huo Xi! Huo Xi!"

She was pulled into his arms.

Zhang Chongguang's embrace was like a furnace, scorching one to the core.

The car door was shut.

He held Hoshi just like that, tightly, as if he were holding a baby when he was little: "Don't leave, Hoshi! Forgive me, okay"

His face was pressed against hers, the heat mingling with his masculine scent.

Huo Xi's head felt a little dizzy.

She croaked, "Zhang Chongguang, do you know what you're doing"

He didn't know.

He only knew, he didn't want to let her go...

Ho-xi had no choice, she could only whisper: “I’m not leaving! I’ll take you home!”

Zhang Chongguang murmured, "Go back to Lu Yuan"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chongguang gently pushed her away. Huo Xi felt relieved, but then he immediately kissed her.

He held her head in his hand, his burning lips pressed against hers.

Sticking together, inseparable.

Maybe it was the fever, he was burning up. His handsome face flushed a crimson of desire... He was like a man possessed, kissing Hsi relentlessly.

Suddenly, he stopped.

He just kept staring at her, Huo Xi gently closed his eyes and uttered a few words: "What was the point of it all!"

Back to Lu Yuan.

Zhang Chongguang was burning with fever. Lu Qian had hired a skilled doctor for him. After examining him, the doctor said, "It's probably an external injury! Take off your clothes so I can have a look."ficiently.After she left, Wen Man pulled open her clothes a little and looked at herself carefully. She was indeed covered in marks that were impossible to ignore. She took a deep breath and had a fee...
