Assistant Song thought about Lin Xiaowan’s soft temper. Would she quarrel with Huo Zheng? How could that be? Huo Zheng would be the first to admit defeat and start coaxing her if she felt wronged.
Huo Zheng touched Lin Xiaowan’s hand and her naked curled up feet. The air-conditioning in the office was low. Even though she was wearing a long-sleeved jacket, it was still a little cold.
He covered her with a towel and sat at the side, gently opening the lunch box. The hotel that ordered the food was usually nearby, so the delivery was very fast and convenient.
Lin Xiaowan was still worried that Huo Zheng would come back and settle the score with her. The dishes she ordered for lunch were all very light. There was a vegetable roll with fresh prawns, a braised vegetable heart, and a mutton with garlic sprouts. The soup dish was melon and pigeon soup, and even the noodles were coarse grain rolls.
Usually, when she had no choice, she would reluctantly take a few bites.
Huo Zheng shook his head helplessly and laughed.
The moment the lunchbox was opened, an alluring and delicious smell wafted out. Before Huo Zheng could wake her up to eat, Lin Xiaowan sat up while yawning.
The little girl rubbed her eyes, her head still in a daze. When she saw Huo Zheng sitting beside her, she habitually leaned over to hug him.
Huo Zheng held her in his arms and wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes when she yawned.’Tf 1 sleep now, will I be able to sleep at noon later?”
Lin Xiaowan was stunned for a while before recalling that Huo Zheng had asked her to reflect on herself before he left for the meeting. Hence, she said,””You’re not angry anymore?”
Huo Zheng brought his men to wash their hands. He pinched her cheeks, which were red from being buried in the pillow.’Tm not angry.”
Lin Xiaowan said,”There is clearly one, and it’s very fierce.””
“Isn’t it because you’re not obedient at all?” Huo Zheng sighed.”
“You’ve been more active than me in the company these past two days. You came here just to steal food, didn’t you?””
After washing their hands, the two of them sat back at the table. Huo Zheng passed her the chopsticks. It was unknown whether he was praising her or not.”Did your taste change this afternoon? You don’t eat sweet or spicy food anymore?”
Lin Xiaowan didn’t want to bother with him and continued eating by herself.
“Take your time,” Huo Zheng said.
The little girl slowed down again.
The lunch break was very long. After the meal, Huo Zheng looked at the report for a while and then took the others to the resting room for an afternoon nap.
Back then, when she had just woken up, she had said with certainty that she could fall asleep. However, Lin Xiaowan was not sleepy at all now. Huo Zheng closed his eyes to rest while she played with his fingers.
Huo Zheng’s hands were wide and thick, easily wrapping around hers. After a while, he turned around in his arms and poked his collarbone lightly with his fingers. Huo Zheng opened his eyes helplessly and stopped her from moving her little paws.
“Can’t sleep?”
Lin Xiaowan closed her eyes and pretended to be honest.” No, I fell asleep very quickly.””
Huo Zheng laughed and reached his hand into her loose clothes. He pinched her gently and Lin Xiaowan was about to open her mouth to make a scene when her lips were sealed.
“If you can’t sleep, come play something else.” Huo Zheng whispered.”
Lin Xiaowan huddled in his embrace and tugged at his collar tightly. Her face was flushed red as she whimpered.”Not at home…The curtains, oh, the curtains weren’t drawn… Be gentle, be gentle.”
Lin Xiaowan was both excited and nervous. Huo Zheng’s secretary or assistant, or even the manager of a department, would sometimes come into the office to deliver documents in the afternoon. The door to the lounge was not locked, so she was especially afraid that someone would suddenly enter the office.
Even though the person would not enter the lounge even if she went into the office to deliver the documents, she was still extremely nervous.
Huo Zheng bit her ear and kissed her gently.””Why are you so nervous, baby?”
However, her actions were not gentle at all.
Lin Xiaowan glared at him with tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth with his neck hatefully. However, Huo Zheng laughed out loud.” If you don’t listen to me in the future and eat whatever you want, I’ll…” His voice was even lower as he whispered into the little girl’s ear,” I’ll be even more overboard.””
After a good afternoon nap, Huo Zheng tucked everyone in and changed his clothes. He then continued his afternoon work in high spirits.
However, after this warning, the few people in the CEO’s office did not dare to feed her anything. This made Lin Xiaowan very depressed for a few days.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but Lu Yingxin had not been found. The Huo family had arranged for many people to look for him. Recently, there had been some progress, but they did not know where Lu Yingxin was hiding.
Huo Zheng was obviously not in a good mood after picking up the phone. He scolded the person on the phone coldly and hung up the phone, still emitting a cold aura.
Lin Xiaowan’s diet had been a little more relaxed recently. The range of snacks she could provide had increased significantly. She no longer needed to take her medicine. She just needed to slowly recuperate and was digging for watermelon balls to eat.
She saw Huo Zheng’s handsome face darken after he answered the phone. It was obvious that he was upset and could not continue with his work. She leaned over and fed him a watermelon ball.”What’s wrong?”
“Lu Yingxin was seen in a remote village, but after searching around, there was no trace of him.”Huo Zheng frowned.” The owner of the shop in the village said that she had seen her before. She bought a lot of food. I’m afraid she went into the mountains.””
Lin Xiaowan couldn’t understand. Why did she enter the mountain? Is she a savage?”
She had seen a report about a fugitive who had lived in the mountains for more than ten years. He was found by chance and was arrested. At that time, she could not understand how she could survive in the mountains.
“She probably wants to climb over the mountain and go to Jiangning City on the other side.” Huo Zheng shook his head.”
Huo Zheng had just heard a list of her purchases. The Ministores in the village did not issue an receipt unless it was specified. The shop owner had only recalled what she had bought according to his memory. It was a big bag of bread and biscuits.
There were also two flashlights with three large batteries. Because very few people bought so many batteries at once, the shop owner took a few more glances at Lu Yingxin. Just these two glances were scolded by Lu Yingxin, so the shop owner had a deep impression of her.
Lin Xiaowan’s first reaction was:” That’s so dangerous. Not all the mountains are safe, right?”
Even if there weren’t any lions or tigers, there would most likely be snakes, wild boars, or wild pheasants. Even if it was a wild pheasant, Yingga wasn’t easy to deal with. In any case, Lin Xiaowan was quite afraid of pointy-mouthed chickens and ducks.
“She’s thinking too simply.” Huo Zheng sneered.”
Not to mention Jiangning City, even if she ran out of the country, as long as she swiped her ID card or entered the bank, the Huo family at the ends of the earth would be able to catch her. She had underestimated the power of the Internet.
Unless she could endure not touching the savings in her bank card for the rest of her life and be an illegal household for the rest of her life.
Huo Zheng ate another watermelon ball that Lin Xiaowan had fed him and barely managed to feel better. However, when he thought of the suffering that Lin Xiaowan had suffered because of him, he wanted to chop that audacious woman into pieces..
