He thought that by taking off his coat, he could get rid of the smell of perfume completely. But Huo Beixiao never expected that Gu Nanyin's sense of smell was much sharper than he imagined. With this kind of assumption, it is impossible to hide it from her.

The two of them didn't know how long they were silent, but they only heard Gu Nanyin muttering and asking, "When things come to this point, aren't you going to tell me the other party's name?" ”

Huo Beixiao took a deep breath and replied with a cold face: "I have already said that you don't know that person at all, we are just a business partnership." All things considered, I really didn't have to say her name. ”

Gu Nanyin pursed her lips and smiled helplessly: "Even if you don't want to say it, I understand a fact. It's not the first time you've met. ”

Hearing this, Huo Beixiao's expression became even worse.

I only heard Gu Nanyin continue to murmur: "Actually, as early as the day the princess was born, you came to visit our mother and daughter belatedly, and I smelled the same perfume from you. Of course, in addition to the taste, you lied that day, trying to hide the smell of wine in your mouth with mints. The so-called overtime in the company does not exist at all, it is just an excuse to perfunctory me. ”

Gu Nanyin's words can be regarded as ruthlessly debunking all the disguises that Huo Beixiao had done before. This should be a warm night, and there is a cold factor floating in the air, which is really embarrassing.

Huo Beixiao sat up from the bed and looked ahead with ruthless eyes. After a long time, he asked Gu Nanyin emotionlessly: "Since you know everything, what result do you plan to have?" ”

"Quite simply, I want to hear the truth and ask you to apologize to me."

Hearing Gu Nanyin say this, Huo Beixiao hooked the corners of his cold mouth and muttered a reply: "I have no obligation to tell you the truth and apologize, don't even think about these two things." ”

Gu Nanyin also sat up and looked at the man with a slightly painful gaze: "Bei Xiao, do you just want to maintain your invincible appearance like this?" It is only natural that you have made a mistake and apologize, and I don't understand what you have to quibble about it! ”

Huo Beixiao turned his head abruptly and looked at Gu Nanyin with a sharp gaze like an eagle: "You don't understand? Then I'll tell you plainly, I never thought I had done anything wrong! In that case, I don't need to apologize to you! Please refrain from such meaningless demands in front of me in the future, for I will never be able to respond to you. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Beixiao left the bed and went to the outhouse without looking back. Not long after, Gu Nanyin heard an extremely cold sound of the door closing. Huo Beixiao is gone, at least he won't come back tonight.

Early the next morning, when Xu Promise came to the company as usual to clean the president's office, he unexpectedly found Huo Beixiao lying on the sofa napping. She was afraid that her boss would catch a cold, so she quickly went to find a blanket and carefully covered Huo Beixiao.

"Huh? What are you doing here? At the moment when he was covered with a blanket, Huo Beixiao woke up from his sleep. He looked at Promise with a resentful expression, as if complaining about why she had woken herself up.

After hesitating for a moment, he truthfully reported the present time and his purpose. Then she asked Huo Beixiao with some apprehension: "Mr. Huo, you won't spend the night here last night, right?" ”

Huo Beixiao struggled to sit up from the sofa and muttered solemnly, "You guessed it, I spent the night here." ”

"Huh? You...... Did you work overtime at the office last night? ”

"It's none of your business." After Huo Beixiao said this, he threw the blanket back to Xu Yu with a cold face, and then slowly left the office and went to breakfast.

Xu Yu hugged the blanket and stood in place with a puzzled expression, wondering in his heart: "Mr. Huo...... What's wrong with you? ”

After breakfast, Huo Beixiao returned to his boss's chair, he pushed aside all the documents to be processed today, and then picked up a pen and paper, ready to draft a new document.

Just when Huo Beixiao put down his pen like flying, the mobile phone he put next to him suddenly rang. When he saw the name displayed on the screen, Huo Beixiao couldn't help but sigh softly. Then, not reluctantly, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Hey, Mom, what's the matter with me?"

Huo Mu was on the other side of the phone and asked in a stern tone, "Did you quarrel with Nanyin?" ”

Huo Beixiao paused for two seconds, then asked with a wry smile: "Not at all!" How did you come up with this guess? ”

"If you didn't quarrel, why didn't you spend the night at the confinement club last night?"

"Oh, that's because I have something to do and come to the office to work overtime. If you don't believe me, you can ask my assistant for a promise. ”

Huo Mu shook her head disdainfully and said, "Come on!" Your subordinates will only cover you up, and they won't tell me the truth at all! The last time Liu Chongyang was the most obvious example! ”

Huo Beixiao sighed and said, "If you want to say that, then I can't defend myself." Guess as much as you like......"

Listening to her son's unusually helpless tone, Huo's mother's originally stern attitude gradually became softened.

She lowered her voice and said to Huo Beixiao in a tone of advice: "Beixiao, mother would like to remind you that there is a disease called postpartum depression, which is specifically affected by women who have given birth. Your daughter-in-law is in danger now, don't make her unhappy at this time! ”

Huo Beixiao forced himself to nod his head very seriously and said, "Mom, I have heard these things from the doctor a long time ago. My current attitude towards Nanyin is so humble that it can't be more humble. You can't ask me to be there for her like a servant, can you? ”

Recalling her son's performance in front of her daughter-in-law during this time, Huo's mother felt that it was indeed quite good. So after a moment of silence, her tone softened again: "I just saw that Nanyin was not in a very good mood today, so I specially called you to remind you." In the future, you must pay attention and try to coax her to be happy. That's not only good for her, but also good for the child! ”

"Knowing Mom, don't worry. If nothing else, let's get here first, I'll have to hurry up and work! ”

"Okay, then you get busy first. Don't forget to come here to see your daughter-in-law after work. ”

"No problem!"

After wrestling with his mother, Huo Beixiao finally hung up the phone with relief. He picked up the pen again and continued to write the unfinished paper on the paper.

After more than an hour, the document was finally written. Huo Beixiao called Xu Yu to his side and asked her to hand over the document to Jiang He to see.

"Mr. Huo, do you want Mr. Jiang to give you advice?"

"No, I'm telling her to do what the document says." Huo Beixiao said undoubtedly.
