Chapter 50: If She's Around
What was that?
Nan Chu's brain went blank for a moment.
She vaguely understood, but she couldn't believe it.
Horthy didn't give her time to react, grabbing her wrist and pressing it down.
"Ahh
Nan Chu was pressed down on the sofa and subconsciously exclaimed.
She held her breath, her whole body froze, and her flustered eyes stared at Oxie.
"That's all."
The man's low voice rang in his ears.
The warm breath fell, Nan Chu turned her head, and a cold kiss landed on her neck.
……
The footsteps at the door faded away.
Nan Chu gasped, she pushed the man away with all her strength.
For a long time, Horthy said quietly.
"I'm sorry."
"It's nothing," Nan Chu forced himself to regain his composure, "it's my obligation. ”
Huo Xici looked at Nan Chu.
Getting people outside the door to leave, it's not the best way to do it.
But at that moment, he only thought of this one.
He held Nan Chu's wrist, and there was something incomprehensible in his eyes.
"Nan Chu," he paused, "don't think too well of me." ”
Nan Chu withdrew his hand and smiled a somewhat reluctantly.
"Mr. Huo, we are allies, aren't we?"
Watching Huo Xici walk into the bathroom, Nan Chu pressed his hand to his heart and listened to his heartbeat clearly.
From the moment she signed the agreement, she knew that there would be such a day.
She has to be awake at all times.
No matter what Mr. Huo does, he is playing on the spot.
She must not be tempted.
When Huo Xici came out of the bathroom, Nan Chu had already moved the pillow and quilt and slept on the sofa.
Even when I fell asleep, I looked insecure.
The next morning, Nan Chu opened his eyes, and it was an unfamiliar room.
Wait, the room?
Didn't she sleep on the couch?
She suddenly came to her senses and looked warily at the layout of the room.
This seems to be Mr. Huo's bedroom.
Could it be that Horthy carried her out of the couch into the bedroom?
That...... Where did he sleep?
She rubbed her aching forehead and reached for the phone.
A black, white, gray interface lights up.
This is Huo Xici's mobile phone!
She hugged the quilt and wailed.
As the birthday feast approached, more and more men and women appeared near the main hall.
Mostly young people.
As Huo Xici's wife, Nan Chu was eligible to enter the main hall.
However, the thought of being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Nan Chu was still a little cowardly.
"Nanchu—"
Nan Chu was stunned.
Here, only Horthy would call her name, but the voice was not.
She turned her head, and a man with a champagne glass walked up to her.
It's Wenye.
"What a coincidence."
Nan Chu raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
She remembered that Wen Ye wanted to call Uncle Huo Xi, who was considered a close relative.
The old man's birthday banquet, it is normal for him to appear.
Maybe it's because Nan Chu didn't act too indifferent, and Wen Ye was a little more confident.
"Let's talk?"
"There's no need for that." Nan Chu turned around and was about to leave.
Wen Ye's tone was full of smiles.
"Yesterday, you seem to have submitted a resume to the central hospital......
Nan Chu stopped abruptly.
Sure enough, this guy is as despicable as ever.
"Don't worry," Wenye shrugged, "With Horthy's resignation, how dare I get stuck in your file?" ”
He turned sideways, leaned closer to Nan Chu, and lowered his voice.
"I just want to tell you that there are still many opportunities for us to meet in the future."
"Really?"
Huo Xici stood behind Wen Ye and sneered, "If you don't want to get out of the hospital forever, you'd better stay away from my wife." ”
Wen Ye was like being struck by lightning.
Huo Xici shook Nan Chu's hand, "Let's go." ”
Nan Chu felt the temperature from the palm of his hand and suppressed the inexplicable feelings in his heart.
With Horthy's resignation, she didn't have to fear anyone's threats.
The atmosphere in the main hall was terrifying, and everyone had a standard smile on their faces, but they didn't feel the slightest smile.
Compared with last night, there are more middle-aged people in the main hall today.
Although these people look older, they are actually the same generation as Huo Xici.
Huo Xici didn't even bother to nod his head.
Although they are equal, as long as the Huo family is still in the hands of Huo Xici, the Huo family only has this orthodox bloodline.
The birthday feast begins, toasts, birthday celebrations, and everything is developing in a normal direction.
Even Mrs. Xiang didn't embarrass Nan Chu too much.
After all, in front of everyone, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of outsiders.
After three rounds of drinking, many people began to keep their mouths shut.
"Mr. Huo," a drunken guy stepped forward to toast, "why didn't you invite us when you got married?" ”
Nonsense, there was no wedding banquet at all.
Nan Chu was very silent with interest.
On this occasion, let Mr. Huo deal with it.
"You don't have to invite me to your funeral."
"Ahem—ahem."
Nan Chu was caught off guard and choked.
She subconsciously looked around, but fortunately no one paid attention to this side.
She suddenly felt that Mr. Huo was so gentle with her usually.
The man was stunned for a moment, his expression was ugly, and suddenly, his gloomy eyes stared at Nan Chu.
"I haven't asked yet, whose young lady is your little wife?"
Nan Chu frowned.
Her background, in the eyes of these people, is indeed not on the stage.
Nan Chu secretly glanced at Huo Xici.
Mr. Huo's eyes grew cold, and he must have said something ugly.
She quietly pressed Horsi's hand and winked at him.
He then raised his head and smiled politely at the man.
"It doesn't matter which family I was from before, you just need to know that now, I am from the Huo family."
She focused on the word "Huo family".
"Okay—"
The old man's voice sounded behind him.
Huo Honghui was on crutches, and he didn't know when he stood behind them.
The old man smiled lovingly, "Nan Chu girl is reasonable. ”
Then he looked at Huo Xici with a straight face, "Study hard, you will be uncomfortable if you don't choke people for a day, right?" ”
Nan Chu couldn't help laughing.
Looking at the change in the old man's attitude, she must have successfully passed last night's test.
Although Mrs. Xiang still didn't want to see her, at least half of the success was achieved.
Surprisingly, Huo Xici did not refute the old man this time.
In the second half of the birthday banquet, one after another, people came to Huo Xici to toast.
Nan Chu observed Huo Xici's reaction.
Relatively speaking, people who have achieved something in their respective fields and are decent people, Hossi has responded.
And those who sit and eat their ancestral property and have fun all day long, Huo Xici doesn't even bother to give a look.
After a while, Xiang Yang came over with a wine glass.
"Cousin!"
Xiang Yang piled up a smile, his tone was light and fluttering, and he was obviously not very sober.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and there is nothing you can do as a cousin, so I wish you to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and find a new love!"
Ha?
In the face of Xiang Yang, Nan Chu was not polite.
"If you drink too much, go out and turn right to sober up."
Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at Nan Chu for a while.
"Although you look okay, if you want to be my cousin, it's far from qualified!"
Nanchu was funny.
Xiang Yang continued: "If she is still here, what will happen to you? ”
