Chapter 148: The Mistress Provokes and Makes Trouble
Huo Lingxiao looked at the woman who went upstairs, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a fox-like sly smile.
With Huo Ziqian sleeping in the children's room, it is not good for that woman to sleep with her son anymore, although there are enough rooms left in this villa, but they are all on another floor, she is so timid, dare to sleep upstairs alone?
Sure enough, Fang Ruoning thought of this question after going upstairs.
Preparing to go to her son's room, listening to the two little guys inside muttering non-stop, to tell the truth, she was very curious - the same descendant of the Huo family, how can Huo Ziqian be able to speak well, lively and cheerful, and although his son knows everything and is a genius in IQ, he is still relatively quiet, and sometimes he is introverted and precocious, and he doesn't look like a child at all.
"You're not going to sleep with two kids, are you?"
Suddenly a man's smiling tone came from behind her, she was startled, turned around, and withdrew her hand on the handle of the door of the children's room.
With a slightly embarrassed face, she glanced at the man and asked lightly, "Which room can I sleep in?" ”
He is seven floors up and down here, and it is impossible to run out of rooms.
"There are a lot of rooms, but on the fifth floor, do you dare to go up and sleep alone?" The man smiled softly, but Fang Ruoning felt that his smile was particularly hateful.
"It's only the fifth floor...... What don't you dare...... "His thoughts were all written on his face, how could Fang Ruoning be fooled.
"Oh...... Then you go up and have a look. ”
Seeing the evil smile on the corner of his mouth, Fang Ruoning frowned, stared at him defensively, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
The man followed, reminding behind him, "There is an elevator." ”
Fang Ruoning ignored it and continued to climb the stairs.
When she went up to the fifth floor, she saw that Huo Lingxiao was already waiting in the corridor elegantly and handsomely, still with that cheap smile.
She looked, gritted her teeth secretly, and walked over.
"Actually, the view from this floor is very good, that room is facing the mountains and forests, open and far, and the room is also large, you may have an echo when you sleep alone." As the man introduced, he opened the door and turned on the light.
Fang Ruoning raised his eyes and looked...... Sure enough, the space is not ordinarily large.
The bed was lying alone, and at the head of the bed was a very abstract oil painting, and the upper body of a woman, because of the color tone, always looked ...... It's kind of weird.
"If you sleep here and have nightmares at night or something, I won't hear you screaming."
"Just curse me for having nightmares every night!" Fang Ruoning glared back at him angrily, turned around and walked rushingly, the man followed unhurriedly, and before he could speak, he saw the woman turn around again, and raised her beautiful eyebrows, "Why don't you say that little bit of your mind directly?" Rounding around the bush to engage in such a small means! ”
The man hooked his lips and defended himself: "Ziqian wants to stay overnight, I really didn't expect it, I just saw that my son was bored alone, so I asked someone to pick him up, but I didn't leave when I came." ”
Fang Ruoning turned his head away and ignored it.
"My bed is big enough for two people to sleep in the winter, it's warmer."
The woman still ignored it, but her face began to flush spinelessly.
"Actually, if you weren't so proactive last night, I wouldn't have been so bold, you can try to trust me once, I promise to just sleep."
"Good!" Fang Ruoning raised his hand and pointed at him, his little face was cold, "What you said was just sleeping!" If you dare to move your hands and feet, you're welcome! Also, two quilts, you cover yours, I cover mine. ”
After speaking, without looking at the smile of the conspiracy in the corner of the man's eyes, he turned around and went downstairs angrily.
After taking a shower, Fang Ruoning picked out the most conservative set of pajamas and put them on, and lay down on the big bed where he slept last night.
Huo Lingxiao was behind her, and when she walked towards the bed after washing, she turned off the top light by the way, leaving only a small lamp at the head of the bed.
Seeing the woman's thin body curled up on the edge of the bed with her quilt on the side, he sighed amusedly: "Aren't you afraid of falling down at night?" ”
"I sleep honestly."
The man nodded, well, look at how honest you are at night.
Looking at the children's room through the door panel between the two rooms, I saw that the two little ones were already asleep. The temperature in the room was suitable, even if they kicked the quilt, they wouldn't catch a cold or anything, Huo Lingxiao closed the door very reassuringly.
Lifting his quilt and lying down, he faced the woman's side, stared at her back, and asked, "How is the lawsuit prepared?" ”
"Almost."
"Do you want me to sit in on the hearing?"
"In order to protect the privacy of the victim, this kind of lawsuit is generally not heard in public."
"Then I'll wait for you outside the courtroom."
"Whatever."
The two were silent for a while, and the man said again: "I said that marriage is serious, you can think about it." ”
Fang Ruoning turned his back to him, silently biting his lower lip between his teeth, and responded after a while: "I want to think about it." ”
Before falling asleep, Fang Ruoning clearly remembered that she kept an absolutely safe distance from someone, but at night, I don't know why, she felt so cold and cold, in her sleep, there was a heat source approaching her, and her body instinctively approached the heat source, and then finally stopped feeling cold, she fell asleep again.
When I woke up in the morning, when I opened my eyes, it was the man's sexy and firm chest, and when I raised my eyes, it was his handsome and resolute jaw, with a slight green stubble, which showed more and more masculine charm.
looked at the quilt, it was still his own bed, but it was rolled in his arms like a cicada chrysalis, and his bed was covered with it.
"Good morning." The forehead was lightly kissed, and the man's hoarse tone in the morning penetrated into the cochlea very comfortably, and her heart fluttered slightly.
"Hooligans!" Spit out two words in a low voice, and she slipped out of the man's arms, ready to get up.
However, as soon as I got out of the bed, I felt unusually cold.
"The heating is broken? Why is it so cold? She frowned and looked down at some hungry wolf.
Huo Lingxiao also frowned, looking very confused, "I don't know, I felt cold when I slept until midnight last night, and I didn't want to get up to check, seeing that you were also frozen and shrunk into a ball, I was just thinking about whether to ask you to sleep some, so you automatically drilled to my side, see that you are pitiful, this young master will accept you." ”
"......" Fang Ruoning couldn't suppress the twitching corners of his mouth.
No matter how cold it is, she has to get up, she has to wait for her two babies to go to school, and she still has to go to work.
"You keep making up stories, I'm up." She felt warmer with another layer of dressing gowns over her pajamas, and pushed open the connecting door to the two bedrooms, ready to see how the children were doing.
Who knows, as soon as the door is opened, a warm current comes to the face!
Obviously, the heating in the kids' room was all good! But why is there no heating in the master bedroom?
"Good morning, Mom!" Fang Yunxuan had already woken up, and was sitting up when he saw the door behind the rudder open, and immediately greeted politely.
Aunt Mei had already led someone to wait outside the children's room, and when she heard the sound of talking inside, she immediately knocked on the door and came in, waiting for Young Master Huo to get dressed.
However, Huo Ziqian saw that Brother Yunxuan was wearing his own clothes, and he was suddenly not far behind, and said majestically: "I don't want your help, I want to wear it myself!" ”
Aunt Mei smiled and stood aside, helping to pull and pull from time to time.
Fang Ruoning looked at this scene, inexplicably found it funny, smiled and closed the door.
Huo Lingxiao also got up.
The temperature in the room was low, but he was still shamelessly shirtless, pretending to be on the phone, asking what was going on with the heating in the master bedroom.
Fang Ruoning rolled her eyes, "Don't you want to act anymore?" I don't believe that the heating in other rooms is good, but the master bedroom is broken. ”
"What do you mean?" The man turned around and asked with a pretense of displeasure.
"You know what it means." Dropping this sentence, Fang Ruoning went to the bathroom to wash up.
Huo Lingxiao paused with an embarrassed face, impatiently explained something to the phone, and hung up. This woman is smart and not easy to fool, she must have seen through it a long time ago, but if she sees through it, she can see through it, anyway, she has done a lot of embarrassing things in the past few months.
Entering the bathroom, Fang Ruoning glanced at him, "You can't wear a dress?" ”
"I'm in my own home, can't I be casual anymore?"
Fang Ruoning knew that he was deliberate, deliberately showing off his perfect figure, strong abdominal muscles, and sexy mermaid line.
What an old peacock!
scolded secretly in her heart, but when she lowered her head to brush her teeth, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, peeking at the man's waist and abdomen, and then, the roots of her ears were inexplicably red.
On Monday, the law firm was going to hold a meeting as usual, and Fang Ruoning was so busy that he didn't have time to drink water in the morning. She has not only Li Yuanyuan's case in her hands, but also several other mediations, all of which are also arranged in the past two days.
When she was so busy that she had to squeeze time for dinner, she was a little moved by Huo Lingxiao's suggestion - continue to go back to Huo's Group as a consultant.
In the afternoon, Li Quan picked up the child and sent it to her, and to her dismay, Huo Ziqian came with her.
"The driver at home came to pick him up, and the little master jumped up and down and refused to leave, saying that he wanted to live in the uncle's house, there was no way, I had to bring it over." Li Quan explained in a low voice.
Fang Ruoning had a headache, put the folder in his hand back on the desktop, and also lowered his voice: "But I'm still busy here, I don't know when I can go back." ”
"Mr. Huo, I'm also very busy today, and there will be a drinking party in the evening, and it will be late." Li Quan glanced at her and suggested, "Or, I'll send the two young masters back to the villa first?" ”
Fang Ruoning thought about it and had no choice but to agree.
But she never expected that when she returned to Huo Lingxiao's villa at nine o'clock, Mrs. Huo was sitting in the living room.
Aunt Mei waited at the door of the living room, saw her come back, and hurriedly said, "The old lady came here at seven o'clock, saying that she missed her grandson, so come and have a look." I called my husband, who couldn't get out of his way and said he would try to come back as soon as possible. ”
Fang Ruoning nodded, his face indifferent, "I know." ”
Approaching the living room, I saw Mrs. Huo sitting on the sofa, smiling kindly and kindly at the two children who were playing with intelligent robots on the carpet, and secretly took a deep breath.
"Mom, you're back!" When Fang Yunxuan saw his mother enter the house, he immediately got up to greet him.
Fang Ruoning smiled, and his gaze met Mrs. Huo's gaze.
Seeing her, I unconsciously thought of the last time the two elders of the Huo family looked for her, and they opened their mouths to be a matter of 100 million. They only need the blood and blood of the Huo family, and they don't recognize her as the child's mother.
The smile on Mrs. Huo's face slowly subsided, and then she got up, "Miss Fang, let's go to the side hall to talk." ”
Fang Ruoning nodded and followed.
On the carpet, Fang Yunxuan raised his eyes and glanced at his mother, secretly hiding worry.
He already knew that Huo Ziqian's grandmother was his grandmother, his father's mother, and they were a family.
However, Dad's mother doesn't like her mother.
The little mind is confused and doesn't know what to do.
"Miss Fang, I remember you said that it is not uncommon to enter my Huo family." Mrs. Huo turned around, with a polite smile on her well-maintained face, and spoke slowly and logically, gracefully and calmly.
Fang Ruoning's face froze, his eyes fell, and he had to give full play to his lawyer's expertise to bite the words, "I haven't entered Huo's house now." ”
Although these words are a little speechless, they are true, she and Huo Lingxiao are not even boyfriend and girlfriend, let alone the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
Sure enough, Mrs. Huo froze in surprise, looked at her, and smiled a little sarcastically: "As a lawyer, you can really quibble." ”
"Since Ling Xiao has brought your mother and son here, he naturally recognizes your identity, why do you have to get cheap and behave? If you really want to live with Ling Xiao, you should stand in his position and consider for him, if you don't plan to be with Ling Xiao, but just use him for some purpose, then I advise you to leave early. Mrs. Huo's words were soft and firm, and she was full of grace and power, and she did enough pomp and circumstance for the housewife of a wealthy family.
Fang Ruoning listened, but his face turned cold, "What does Mrs. Huo mean?" I take advantage of him? How shrewd and cunning your son is, you don't know as a mother? Is he a fool who will be taken advantage of? ”
"If you let someone else, you definitely won't, but it's hard to say to you."
"Oh, thank you, Mrs. Huo."
After going around in circles, Mrs. Huo estimated that her son would come back soon, so she had to open the skylight and say something bright: "I know that you recently received a lawsuit and offended people, and you dare to continue to do it with Ling Xiao behind your back." When I looked for you before, I saw that you were upright and resolute, not greedy for money and not vain, I still admired you a little in my heart, but now it seems that you are different from those vixens in the workplace who use men to ascend to the top? Ling Xiao was unmoved by all the kindness he had to you before, but now he suddenly made their father and son recognize each other, and it was a family reunion, do you dare to say that you are not using him? ”
Fang Ruoning finally understood, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Is it that in the eyes of such a wealthy family, who approaches them with a purpose?
However, this time, she did "use" Huo Lingxiao, but this use was based on the fact that she was really moved by this man and seriously considered their future relationship.
She never thought that after this lawsuit, she would cross the river and tear down the bridge, turning her face and not recognizing anyone.
But obviously, there is no need to say these words to the noble and arrogant Mrs. Huo in front of her.
"Mrs. Huo, I took advantage of him, and your son was willingly used by me. I didn't want to come, he forced me to come here, I didn't want my son to recognize him so quickly, he couldn't wait to recognize father and son! I-" She was also so angry that she didn't choose to say this, but when she noticed that the atmosphere behind her was a little different, she suddenly stopped and turned away.
Huo Lingxiao, who was dressed in a black windbreaker, stood at the entrance of the side hall with frost all over his body, his face was cold, his eyes were sharp, the light above his head was obviously very bright, and the room was obviously very warm, but Fang Ruoning felt that he had suddenly fallen into a cold little black room, and he couldn't stop shaking.
Mrs. Huo had already seen her son coming, and she deliberately didn't warn her.
It wasn't until this moment, seeing her son's face change drastically, that she hurriedly walked over, "Ling Xiao, you see, you were deceived by this woman!" She's just taking advantage of you! If you win the lawsuit, her reputation will come out, and I don't know how majestic it will be in the future! ”
"Mom, you go back first." Huo Lingxiao stared at the woman, his eyes did not blink, and he interrupted his mother lightly.
Mrs. Huo was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded: "Ling Xiao, you can't be bewitched by her anymore!" She's not a good woman, why are you-"
"Li Quan, send the old lady back!" Before Mrs. Huo finished speaking, the man's tone suddenly rose coldly, and then Li Quan walked over and said respectfully but strongly, "Madam, I'll send you back." ”
Mrs. Huo looked at her son, then at Fang Ruoning, who was a few steps away, with a calm face angrily, and turned to leave.
When she passed by the living room, she went to hold Huo Ziqian's hand, but the little guy jumped and jumped: "Grandma, I won't go back!" I'm going to live at my uncle's house! I want to play with Brother Yunxuan! ”
"You kid! How can he be a white-eyed wolf! Mrs. Huo lost face, and her tone couldn't help but be harsh, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
But Huo Ziqian was not afraid at all, he actually broke free and flexibly hugged the sofa legs, and the whole person lay on the ground and refused to leave.
The sofa is a top Italian luxury brand, heavy as a thousand years of ebony, the little guy hugged it tightly, and Mrs. Huo couldn't move at all no matter how she dragged it.
Aunt Mei was in a hurry on the side and didn't dare to persuade her.
Later, it was Li Quan who stepped forward stubbornly: "Madam, the little young master has soft bones, you forcibly pull like this, be careful of hurting yourself." ”
As soon as he said this, Huo Ziqian was also a good person, and suddenly screamed: "Grandma, you hurt me, I'm hurt, I'm going to bleed, I'm going to tell my dad, I don't live at home anymore, I'm going to go on a business trip with my dad to ......"
If it weren't for the awkward atmosphere at this time, Fang Ruoning in the side hall would almost laugh.
Mrs. Huo felt sorry for her grandson, so she had no choice but to let go of her hand panting, "Little thing, don't come back to grandma if you have the ability!" ”
A farce finally came to an end, and Mrs. Huo left angrily.
In the side hall, Fang Ruoning felt the quiet atmosphere around him, and he could hear the sound of his heartbeat for a while, and he couldn't help but become more and more nervous and stiff.
Huo Lingxiao didn't take off his coat, just stood like that, staring at her, his eyes seemed to be able to burn two holes from her.
For a long time, Fang Ruoning felt that the air around her was not enough, and she felt a slight sense of dizziness, only to hear the man's low and cold tone: "What I said to my mother just now, are they true?" You're just going with the flow and using me to move here and create the illusion of intimacy with me to the outside world? ”
With a flicker, she raised her eyes and stared at the person in a daze, numb in her heart for a few seconds, and suddenly sneered, "If you think so, then that's it." ”
She thought that this man was so affectionate, sincere, and trustworthy, but it turned out that it was nothing more than that, and his mother's words made him suspicious.
