Chapter 245 Beware of the machine
"That's not what I meant."
Xia Nuanxin turned her head, avoiding the heavy smell of smoke coming to her face, and frowned slightly.
Huo Beixiao stared at Xia Nuanxin's face with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Xia Nuanxin was sitting on the edge of the bed, Huo Beixiao was standing in front of her, because it was extremely close, and it was a condescending angle, Huo Beixiao could clearly see Xia Nuanxin's thick eyelashes, slightly drooping eyelids, well-behaved nose bridge and slightly pursed red lips, and even the inconspicuous hairs on her face could be seen.
At such a close distance, it seemed that as long as Huo Beixiao's breathing was deeper, his constantly undulating chest could directly touch Xia Nuanxin's skin.
Huo Beixiao's Adam's apple moved, and the smell of Xia Nuanxin's body, which he was extremely familiar with, penetrated into his mouth and nose a little after the smoke ring dissipated, making the emotions that he had forcibly suppressed for so many days suddenly surging in his body.
In his mind, one villain after another was constantly fighting.
Some villains told him not to be anxious and take his time step by step. Some of them questioned him anxiously, people had already been deceived to their side, and they still let him do it regardless of whether he was a man or not. In the end, Huo Beixiao was impressed by his powerful instinct.
He involuntarily reached out his hand, wanting to touch the people who were close at hand.
But before his broad palm touched Xia Nuanxin's shoulder, she avoided it with lightning speed.
Xia Nuanxin stood up and took a few steps back, her lowered eyes didn't even dare to look directly at Huo Beixiao.
"Sister-in-law Lin shouted that we had dinner."
In the restaurant downstairs, the bell for dining rang softly, Huo Beixiao shrunk his fingers that were still hanging in the air, turned around and strode downstairs.
The meal was eaten silently, everyone had their own thoughts, Xia Nuanxin picked up a few bites of food indiscriminately, and then withdrew early.
At night, after washing up, Wu Qian and Huo Zhengde returned to the room arranged for them by Huo Beixiao, and whispered behind closed doors.
Huo Beixiao buried his head in the study and began to deal with the business that had been delayed in the past two days.
Xia Nuanxin was wrapped in a snow-white bathrobe, standing in the empty room in a daze.
She looked at the empty bed board and thought, "What does Huo Beixiao mean by this?" β
Just as Sister-in-law Lin passed by the door of her room, Xia Nuanxin stopped her.
She pointed to her bed and wondered, "Sister-in-law Lin, where is my bed?" β
Sister-in-law Lin glanced into the room, wiped her hands on her apron that were still dripping with water and smiled: "The bed cover has been laid for a long time, so Mr. asked me to ask someone to wash it in the morning." β
"Oh, where's that clean quilt? I'll go get a bed and make it myself. Xia Nuan said.
"This ......" a trace of embarrassment flashed on Sister-in-law Lin's face.
Xia Nuanxin: "What's wrong?" β
Sister-in-law Lin glanced at the direction of the study, lowered her voice and said, "Madam, you should go and ask Mr." β
A quilt, even to ask Huo Beixiao?
What kind of wife is she of the Huo family?
Xia Nuan's face was speechless, and she casually sent away Sister-in-law Lin, who was full of embarrassment, and walked in the direction of the study.
The study was very quiet, only one table lamp was turned on, and the whole room was faintly filled with the scent of lavender, and the incense lamp not far away was emitting a faint purple light.
Huo Beixiao sat at his desk, with a laptop in front of him, on which was an open English email, but it had stopped at a line of content and had not turned the page for a long time.
Since Xia Nuanxin walked out of the room, Huo Beixiao couldn't help but prick up her ears and listened to the conversation between her and Sister-in-law Lin word for word, and even a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Yesterday, when he saw that Xia Nuanxin didn't come to his room to get her suitcase, he just washed and went to bed with spare toiletries, and he thought of this stubble.
The quilt is gone, look how you still sleep!
Huo Beixiao thought triumphantly in his heart, he didn't realize how naΓ―ve his actions were, and whether he was in line with the identity of the general manager of a large group.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Xia Nuanxin's soft voice came from outside the door: "Can I come in?" β
Huo Beixiao cleared his throat, unconsciously reached out to straighten his collar, and when his fingers poked up, he found that he was wearing home clothes today, and there was no collar to tidy up at all.
"Come in."
Huo Beixiao shook his head in self-abandonment, picked up a pen from the table casually, and cast his eyes on the laptop screen with great concentration.
Xia Nuanxin pushed the door in, glanced at the dim light in the room, and reached for the switch on the side of the door without saying a word.
With a click, the lights in the study were brightly lit, and this hazy and ambiguous atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
"Where's the new quilt? Sister-in-law Lin said let me ask you. Xia Nuanxin went straight to the point.
In the winter in the movie park, there is never a habit of heating, because Huo Beixiao hates all unnatural temperatures, except that it is too hot in summer, basically the central air conditioning in the movie park is a furnishing.
At this moment, Xia Nuanxin was only wrapped in a medium-length nightgown, her calves were still exposed in the air, and she was getting goosebumps one by one at the moment, and she didn't feel the mood of the atmosphere at all.
Huo Beixiao's forehead was bruised, he almost undetectably raised his slender fingers and rubbed them, raised his head and glanced at Xia Nuanxin, and said, "Why, my parents are here, and you still plan to sleep in a separate room with me?" β
Xia Nuan frowned puzzled: "Can ...... They haven't agreed to our marriage yet, and it's not normal to sleep in separate rooms. β
Huo Beixiao chuckled: "Normal? Do you think it's normal for a couple who already have children and are about to get married to sleep in separate rooms? β
"Kid?" Huo Beixiao's words went in and out of Xia Nuanxin's left ear and came out of his right ear, and they went through Xia Nuanxin's mind, and she could understand every word, but she couldn't understand the meaning of it.
Seeing Xia Nuan's face puzzled, Huo Beixiao began to worry about his future Mrs. Huo's IQ.
"I don't know how my mom met you in the United States, but she knew you were pregnant five years ago. I'm going to marry you now, do you think she'll forget such an important point? β
Xia Nuan's face was at a loss: "You mean...... You told your mother that Chenchen was your child? β
Huo Beixiao threw the pen on the table casually, and spread his hands towards Xia Nuan: "Otherwise, why do you think they will agree to the marriage of the two of us?" Don't forget, in her eyes, you are a wicked person who betrayed our Huo Group. β
Xia Nuan rolled her eyes helplessly, she had explained that matter too many times, but no matter who she was, she didn't even have the desire to continue to distinguish.
At this moment, her mood was full of Huo Beixiao's words.
Is this a providence? Going around and around, Xia Luocheng was still "forced" to become Huo Beixiao's son?
"Pick up Chenchen in a few days, remember to explain it to him clearly, and see what I should call me. I think according to his clever head, it shouldn't be too difficult to change his words. β
After saying this, Huo Beixiao waited for Xia Nuanxin's answer, but after waiting for half a while, Xia Nuanxin didn't even let out a fart, and was stunned.
He raised his head, and at a glance, he saw Xia Nuanxin's face full of reluctance, and he frowned instantly.
"What? I'm willing to be Chenchen's father, am I still wronged you? β
Xia Nuanxin rolled her eyes, thinking, I worked hard to bring up the child with a handful of and urine, and you got an eldest son in vain without doing anything, isn't it cheap for you.
But seeing Huo Beixiao's appearance of a mountain rain about to come and the wind was full of buildings, Xia Nuanxin considered the pros and cons, and finally swallowed the words in his heart.
"I'm thinking, I've already moved to the theater, if I still take Chenchen over, then my mother is not the only one."
Huo Beixiao: "Then why don't you take your mother over?" Anyway, there are a lot of empty rooms in the studio. β
"yes, there's just an empty room but no quilt." Xia Nuanxin couldn't help but complain.
"What did you say?" Huo Beixiao raised his eyebrows.
Xia Nuan looked at him casually: "I mean it's impossible for my mother to come over." I hope Chenchen can stay over there, after all, it's close to the sea, and Chenchen has always liked to lie in bed. β
Huo Beixiao pondered for a moment, glanced at Xia Nuanxin, and said speechlessly: "Isn't the urgency of the delay now to let my parents accept you as soon as possible?" Without Chenchen, my mother would not have agreed to our marriage. β
Xia Nuanxin tilted her head and thought, "It's best if you don't agree, I don't want to tie it yet." β
But Huo Beixiao seemed to see Xia Nuanxin's complaint at a glance, and said with a cold face: "Don't forget the agreement between us." β
Xia Nuan disagreed: "The transaction between us started when we agreed to marry you, and it doesn't include trying to get your parents' consent with you, right?" β
Huo Beixiao was stunned for a moment, and was speechless by Xia Nuanxin's words, and waved his hand in annoyance: "Get out." β
Xia Nuanxin rolled her eyes, and only then did she remember the purpose of her coming, and asked, "Where is the quilt?" β
Huo Beixiao raised his head suspiciously, with a danger in his eyes: "Since I started to help your company clean up the mess, it has been assumed that our transaction has begun." Then as the content of the transaction, it is also inevitable that you and I will have the same room. Obediently go to the room and sleep, don't force me to regret it! β
Xia Nuanxin was already a little weak in her heart, but seeing that Huo Beixiao was serious at the moment, she suddenly didn't dare to make any more inches, so she had to sneak out of the study with her tail between her legs.
In the master bedroom on the first floor, Wu Qian and Huo Zhengde were lying on the bed.
Wu Qian was holding a fashion magazine and flipping through it boringly, while Huo Zhengde was holding a financial newspaper, always paying attention to the trends of the American economy.
Wu Qian endured it for a while, but after all, she still couldn't hold back, and touched Huo Zhengde's shoulder: "You say, is what Xiao Xiao said true?" Do we really have grandchildren? β
Huo Zhengde pushed his reading glasses that had slipped a little, turned the newspaper over, and then said, "Is it really what?" When did he listen to us about what he decides? β
Wu Qian's face tense: "That was before." Now it's the event of his life. I can't say yes this time. β
