Xia Xiaohui's gaze inadvertently fell on the lollipop on the shelf on the side.

Involuntarily, he reached out and took an original one and put it in his basket.

When checking out, Yuan Qiyou saw that there was an extra lollipop in the basket, and raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything and paid the bill directly.

When he went out, Yuan Qiyou took the lollipop and was about to throw it in the trash.

"What are you doing?" The cold little hand grabbed his hand and asked angrily.

"I didn't pick it." Yuan Qiyou said calmly.

He just didn't care about the small money, and he didn't want to argue in public, so he paid for it.

"I picked it. I didn't bring any money, I'll pay you back. Xia Xiaohui said and took the sugar from his hand.

Yuan Qiyou frowned, and before he could speak, he saw Xia Xiaohui tear up the package and put the lollipop in his mouth, unbelievable, he even saw her eyebrows and eyes crooked, as if she was very satisfied.

This made Yuan Qiyou feel incredible.

"You're sick and can't eat sugar." Yuan Qiyou followed Xia Xiaohui's side and said with a frown.

The strange thing is that looking at her satisfied appearance, he was reluctant to snatch the candy from her mouth, it seems that a long, long time ago, he also had such emotions.

Xia Xiaohui licked the lollipop, the sweet feeling seemed to make her forget her guard, and said in a low voice: "It's because I'm sick that I have to eat sugar, it's too bitter to be sick, eat sugar to relieve it." ”

Looking at her soothing eyebrows, Yuan Qiyou didn't say anything, but looked at her from time to time, which was somewhat strange.

She can always surprise him, obviously such an elegant and mature, calm and indifferent woman, but she likes to eat lollipops that only children eat, it's really ...... It's incomprehensible.

After returning to the hotel, Xia Xiaohui went back to the room, couldn't sleep, and simply hugged the iPad to scroll through the web page.

Feeling a little thirsty, Xia Xiaohui went out to pour water.

As soon as I got close to the kitchen, I heard movement in the kitchen and frowned slightly.

Standing at the door, Xia Xiaohui saw people who were busy inside.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, Xia Xiaohui didn't expect that Yuan Qiyou would be able to cook.

Xia Xiaohui was a little hesitant whether to go in and pour water.

"Stand there and do something, come in if you want to come in." Just when Xia Xiaohui hesitated, Yuan Qiyou's flat voice came from inside.

He was so calm, but she seemed to be timid.

Thinking that they would have to get along with each other in the future, Xia Xiaohui also let go of the awkwardness in her heart.

Anyway, he didn't ask, so she didn't mention it.

"The water is in the cabinet on the left." When Xia Xiaohui looked at her, Yuan Qiyou seemed to know what she wanted, and said without looking back.

"Thank you." Xia Xiaohui poured water, didn't care what he was doing, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

When it was time to eat, when Xia Xiaohui wanted to eat, she was stopped by Yuan Qiyou and said that she was eating in the house.

Xia Xiaohui was stunned.

He was cooking and eating in the afternoon, and she didn't think much about it, just thought that he couldn't get used to eating outside things, and wanted to make something for himself.

But she didn't expect him to do her part.

Especially when she sat down at the table, looking at the porridge and side dishes on the table, an indescribable complexity surged in her heart.

A table of light food is obviously for sick people, so he goes to the mall, goes to buy vegetables and rice, and cooks in the afternoon, all for her?

For a while, Xia Xiaohui's heart felt like she had been beaten hard, and she was holding her breath in her chest, barely breathing.

A sensation called warmth gradually spread from her heart to her limbs, making her scarcely speechless, and it took a few moments for her mouth to open her mouth, gasping lowly.

"What's wrong? What's uncomfortable? At this moment, Yuan Qiyou, who went to get the dishes and chopsticks, came out, and when he saw that something was wrong with her, he stepped forward and put his hand on her forehead.

"I'm fine." Xia Xiaohui subconsciously didn't overdo it.

Yuan Qiyou's hand froze in mid-air, and the air seemed to have become extremely embarrassed because of this scene. “

Yuan Qiyou withdrew his hand as if nothing happened, breaking the silence.

Sitting opposite Xia Xiaohui, serving porridge to each other, "Let's eat." ”

Xia Xiaohui glanced at Yuan Qiyou, silently picked up the steaming rice bowl in front of him, and ate quietly.

Yuan Qiyou's cooking skills are very good, even if it is just simple porridge and green vegetables, they are all full of strong fragrance, Xia Xiaohui even ate two bowls of porridge for the first time before putting down the dishes and chopsticks.

This is the most she has eaten since she had a high fever.

When cleaning up the table after dinner, the two of them dropped their hands on the empty plate at the same time, and inadvertently touched their fingertips, and Xia Xiaohui withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

"I'll do it." Xia Xiaohui said in a low voice.

She didn't want to think that he cooked for her, but he cooked, and it seemed like she should wash the dishes.

Yuan Qiyou glanced at her calmly, put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.

Xia Xiaohui bit her lip, not used to being spoiled by such warmth, leaning against the kitchen door to watch him brush the dishes.

Yuan Qiyou is a proud son of the sky, what he is best at is deciding whether a big deal can be negotiated with a stroke of a pen, in Xia Xiaohui's heart, he has never had anything to do with places like the kitchen.

But today, seeing his calm and calm performance, she only felt natural, and there was no sense of disobedience.

It seems that the kitchen gives him a warm and homely feeling, revealing a kind of daily fireworks, inexplicably ...... Felt like home.

"I'm amazed that you can cook." Xia Xiaohui spoke slowly.

"I used to learn in the army, and when I was okay in peacetime, I would occasionally do it." There was silence for a long time, and just when Xia Xiaohui thought that he would not answer, he heard Yuan Qiyou's cold voice.

Xia Xiaohui didn't know how to reply.

Yuan Qiyou packed up his things, turned around and leaned against the countertop, "I'm also surprised that a woman like you likes to eat lollipops." ”

Xia Xiaohui's face was slightly uncomfortable, and she whispered: "I grew up in an orphanage, at the beginning, I was small and would be bullied, at this time, the dean's mother would give me a lollipop, as long as I could eat it, I would feel sweet to my heart." After that, I developed a habit, but whenever I was unhappy, sick, and ate a candy habit. ”

This was the first time that Xia Xiaohui talked about her past in front of him.

Yuan Qiyou bowed slightly, he knew that she was from an orphanage, but he didn't expect her to be so calm.

And what made him feel strange was that the orphanage could train such excellent people.

"Life in the orphanage, is it bitter?" Yuan Qiyou thought about it and asked seriously.

"It's not bitter or not bitter, there are many children in the orphanage, there are good ones, and naturally there are bad ones, I was picked up by the dean's mother, and she took good care of me, and now that I have grown up, I rarely stay with her." When Xia Xiaohui talked about the dean's mother, the smile on the corner of her mouth was always soft.

Yuan Qiyou's heart moved slightly.

"As far as I know, you just graduated, and Tang Yu is also your first boyfriend, why do you hate Fu Yifei so much? Just because Tang Yu wants to give you to him? After chatting a lot, Xia Xiaohui gradually let down her guard, but Yuan Qiyou suddenly asked such a question.

In an instant, Xia Xiaohui stood up with layers of thorns and precautions all over his body, and looked at him vigilantly.

"I remember that I have already explained this question to Fu Dong, and I don't want to repeat it again." Xia Xiaohui straightened her back and said calmly.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest, good night Fu Dong." After Xia Xiaohui finished speaking, she went back to the room directly.

Leaning against the door, the corners of Xia Xiaohui's mouth showed a wry smile.

A premeditated dinner almost made her completely defenseless, and it seems that she is really going back to life.

She actually forgot that Yuan Qiyou was an excellent businessman, and businessmen would never do things without profit.

I'm afraid that from the moment he entered the mall, he began to calculate himself.

If she hadn't reacted just now, she would ......

A touch of perseverance flashed in Xia Xiaohui's heart, and she secretly made up her mind to be more cautious in the future, so she went to wash and rest.

And in the living room, watching Xia Xiaohui leave suddenly, Yuan Qiyou frowned.

He just asked casually, and he didn't mean to deliberately test it, but looking at Xia Xiaohui's appearance, she seemed to have misunderstood.

Yuan Qiyou was a little annoyed in her heart, but she didn't know how to explain it to her, so she simply didn't say anything and went back to her room.

The next day, when Xia Xiaohui got up, breakfast was already on the table, still hot porridge and side dishes, Xia Xiaohui didn't have trouble with his stomach, and finished eating everything.

Yuan Qiyou did not arrange a task for her, nor did she mention when to leave, Xia Xiaohui rested in the hotel with peace of mind.

Three days in a row passed like this.

Xia Xiaohui hadn't seen Yuan Qiyou for three days, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

When the doorbell rang, Xia Xiaohui thought that Li Liang and the others were coming to get something, so they opened the door unguarded.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she opened the door, it was not Li Liang or Fang Hao standing outside the door, but ...... Goyi.

Ge Yi's face was bruised and swollen, and he looked excited when he saw her.

Xia Xiaohui subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Ge Yi squeezed half of his body faster.

"What do you want to do? Just now Yuan Qiyou called me and said that he was coming back to get something, I advise you not to mess around, otherwise he won't be able to spare you. Xia Xiaohui saw that he stubbornly squeezed in, and shouted loudly.

The more critical it is, the more you can't panic, Xia Xiaohui is obviously very nervous, but her face doesn't show it at all, and even the hand behind her back has quietly dialed the phone.

Just now she took her mobile phone and was hesitating to call Yuan Qiyou and ask him when he would leave, so the interface just stayed on Yuan Qiyou's phone, and she dialed it out directly.

However, the scene in front of her made her completely unexpected.

Ge Yi didn't threaten her, nor did he intimidate her, he knelt directly on the ground with a poof.

Xia Xiaohui was frightened and took a step back.

"Miss Yun, the thing that day is that I am not good, I am a brute, please forgive me once, please raise your noble hand and let go of Ge Shi." Goy pleaded loudly, weeping bitterly.

"I started it from scratch, and I have a deep affection for it, and I really don't want it to fall like this. I know that I am not as good as a pig and a dog, but what kind of fire can come at me, don't be angry with Ge Shi, if you want to kill or kill me, I just hope that Fu Dong can let Ge Shi live. ”

Xia Xiaohui pursed her lips slightly, slightly surprised in her heart.

Yuan Qi Youhe...... It's time to go!

She naturally wouldn't narcissistically think it was for her, after all, Yuan Qiyou was such a proud person, and the people under his command almost had an accident under his nose, and it was normal for him to be angry and make some moves.

Xia Xiaohui said coldly: "It's useless for you to beg me for things in the mall, you should also ask Fu Dongcai if you ask." Okay, let's go, when Fu Dong sees you, he will be even more angry. ”

Before answering the phone, Xia Xiaohui hung up the phone. “

Xia Xiaohui didn't see it, Ge Yi saw all her actions, and the light in her eyes was fierce and complacent.

"Miss Yun's words are wrong, Fu Dong Chongguan was angry, in just a few days, at any cost, he mobilized financial and material resources from other places to suppress my Ge family, how many negotiated cooperation flies, how many investors have withdrawn, do you know? He did such a thing for you, only you can persuade him to stop, and beg Miss Yun a lot to let us live. ”

"There are so many employees at Goe's, can you bear to let them lose their jobs and be displaced?" Ge Yi said every word, hoping that Xia Xiaohui would be soft-hearted.

Xia Xiaohui frowned, disagreeing with Ge Yi's statement.

She knew very well that Yuan Qiyou would not make a big move for her, since he had moved Ge Shi, it meant that he had already prepared.

Go's cake, he may have been eyeing it for a long time, she just happened to be involved.

Besides, even if Go's falls, Fu will accept Go's industry and employees, except for the high-level, there will not be much change, and there will be no situation as Goe Yi said.

So Xia Xiaohui said very calmly: "These are all men's affairs, it's useless for you to beg me, if you ask, you should also beg Fu Dongcai." Okay, you better get out of here, I'm going to close the door, and it's not good for him to come back and see you in a while. ”

Xia Xiaohui casually grabbed the spare baseball bat on the shoe cabinet next to him.

The reason why she hung up the phone was because she didn't want to trouble Yuan Qiyou anymore, and because she saw that Ge Yi was here to beg for mercy, not to find trouble, but she was not stupid, and she had to defend against others, so she naturally wouldn't let herself talk to Ge Yi unprepared.

"Miss Yun, ...... you" Ge Yi knelt down and took two steps towards Xia Xiaohui, who retreated vigilantly.

He suddenly burst out and rushed towards Xia Xiaohui, the light in his eyes was fierce, and his face was full of madness, "It's all your slut, if it weren't for you, how could Yuan Qiyou be so ruthless to Ge Shi, I want you to pay for your life." ”

Seeing that his big hand was about to grab Xia Xiaohui's neck, Xia Xiaohui did not hesitate, and directly waved the baseball bat hidden behind him.

After listening to Ge Yi's scream, his crazy posture converged, and the whole person fell to the ground, and blood slowly oozed from his head.

Xia Xiaohui's face was cold, his hand holding the baseball bat was trembling, and his face was pale.

Goita ...... Dead?

Xia Xiaohui trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to reach out to probe his snort, and the whole person froze in place like a pillar.

She is rational and calm, but it doesn't mean that she can ignore life, although Ge Yi is hateful, she also does it for self-preservation.

But if Goyi dies because of this, she will also not be able to escape the demon barrier in her heart.

Xia Xiaohui pursed her lips, moved her body stiffly, and went to close the door.

However, the sky does not follow people's wishes, just when Xia Xiaohui's hand just fell on the door, a cleaning aunt passed outside, and saw a man with a bloody face lying inside, and suddenly screamed in fright.

"Kill, kill."

The aunt screamed and ran away.

Even if he is as calm and calm as Xia Xiaohui, he is blindsided at this moment.

Just beat Ge Yi to the point of life and death, close the door Maybe she can wait for her to calm down and then find a way to deal with it, but now that she is seen, what she does is in vain, do you want to escape?

Xia Xiaohui stood by the door, at a loss.

On the other side, Yuan Qiyou had just finished the meeting when he saw Xia Xiaohui's call on his private phone.

They hadn't spoken for three days.

Yuan Qiyou felt a kind of joy inexplicably in his heart, and directly dialed back.

When Xia Xiaohui was stunned, her mobile phone suddenly rang, startling her.

Hurriedly took the mobile phone, looked at Yuan Qiyou's phone above, and his eyes couldn't stop reddening.

Gritted his teeth and held back his emotions, "Hey." ”

Xia Xiaohui's voice trembled slightly.

Yuan Qiyou's heart, which was still filled with joy, suddenly sank, and he clenched his phone hard, "What's wrong?" ”

"Goy just came to me, I'...... I'll kill him......" Xia Xiaohui wanted to calm down, but her voice couldn't stop trembling.

"You killed him? Is the person already dead? Yuan Qiyou was surprised, but he understood that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, but to think about how to solve it.

"I ...... I don't know if he's dead or not, so I hit him with a baseball bat and he fell to the ground covered in blood. Xia Xiaohui said softly with a white face.

"Listen to me, don't be afraid, you go and probe his snort to see if there is any air, if there is blood on his face, you are afraid, then probe the pulse and listen to the heartbeat." When Yuan Qiyou spoke, he had already come down from the subsidiary's building and hurriedly got into the car.

With a roar, the car left like an arrow and sped towards the hotel.

Xia Xiaohui suppressed her fear, did as he said, and then, the whole person suddenly sat down on the ground, with a glint in his eyes.

"Is he dead or alive? Xia Xiaohui, tell me the answer? Yuan Qiyou tried her best to be peaceful and not to scare her.

However, there was a low sobbing sound on the other end of the phone, but no one answered.

Yuan Qiyou pounded the chair anxiously, but his mouth was all calm, "Ah Chu, tell me, is he still alive?" ”

"Gas...... Alive. Xia Xiaohui sniffed, her voice a little choked.

When Yuan Qiyou heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"But just now a cleaning aunt saw it, and she also thought I had killed someone and ran away, and now ...... The police should be coming soon, I'll ......" Although Xia Xiaohui didn't want to admit it, she was really confused and a little helpless at the moment.

"Yunqing, what should I do?" Xia Xiaohui opened her mouth softly, and her voice was helpless.

The way she looks is something that Yuan Qiyou has never seen before, even if it is through the screen, it makes Yuan Qiyou's heart tremble, and he only feels that his heartbeat is instantly accelerated.

But the good thing is that he still has sense.

"Don't be afraid, I'll handle this matter, you don't have to worry about anything, just stay in the room, even if the police come to take you away, don't be afraid, follow them, leave the rest to me, believe me, I won't let you have anything." Yuan Qiyou's voice was calm and calm, instantly soothing all the panic and uneasiness in Xia Xiaohui's heart.

Let her emotions calm down, as if she had found a backbone that she could rely on, although there was a bloody Ge Yi beside her, but the corners of Xia Xiaohui's mouth still couldn't help but smile on the corner.

The smile is shallow, like a hibiscus out of the water.
