“It’s a challenge for the company to have an employee like you.” Xia Sheng shook her head and quickly took out her phone to make a call. “Hello, it’s me. I’m at the company entrance right now.” She paused and looked at the watch on her wrist. “Is ten minutes enough? Okay.”
Cousin Xia thought that she was putting on an act and sneered. “It’s useless even if you call the king. I’ll see who you can call today.”
Xia Sheng ignored him. The security guard felt a little scared and glanced at Xia Sheng.
Ten minutes later.
A car that the security guard and Cousin Xia were extremely familiar with sped over.
“Creak…” It stopped before the others. A slender and alluring figure alighted from the car. It was Xia Sheng’s assistant, the Vice President of her branch, Mingzhu. Mingzhu’s lips curled up when she saw Xia Sheng. She quickly walked up to her.
The security guard was dumbfounded. Cousin Xia was even more stunned. He looked in disbelief at the Vice President bowing slightly and whispering something to Xia Sheng. How was that possible? This wild girl who had treated him like a punching bag when he was young, what right did she have to make the Vice President treat her so respectfully?
“He’s from the company?” Xia Sheng lifted her chin at her cousin.
Mingzhu nodded. “This person harassed our company’s executive X previously. After I sued him, he couldn’t take out the money and begged to work at the company to repay his debt.” Then she added, “The position is a cleaner.”
“That’s what you call inhumane. Shouldn’t he be working for free if you let him be a cleaner? Just enforce it.”
Xia Sheng smiled at her cousin. “I remember that Uncle has two houses. It should be enough to compensate.”
Cousin Xia could not stand it any longer. He sat down on the floor and watched her walk into the office.
Mingzhu pursed her lips. How did this person offended the Boss? She looked at him as if he was a dead man and followed him.
This was just a small incident to Xia Sheng. She didn’t care much about her uncle’s family. Instead, she cared more about her husband in her previous life, Luo Shuqi.
“I remember there was a family with the surname Luo who was the boss of the local construction material industry?”
Mingzhu held her chin and was curious about Xia Sheng’s intention. “Yes, his strength cannot be underestimated.”
“Is it difficult to buy all the goods they have?”
Mingzhu got a great shock. “That… is possible, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to swallow so many ingredients.”
Xia Sheng spun the pen and a bold idea popped up in her head. “Just do it. I’ll handle the rest.”
After sorting out how to deal with Luo Shuqi, Xia Jing felt much better. She looked at a few contracts and decided to leave. Before she left, she suddenly thought of Huo Ye and reminded Mingzhu, “Find out about the accident that happened to the young master of the Huo family, Huo Ye.”
“Huo Ye?” Mingzhu suddenly thought of the handsome face that flashed past her eyes. That was so beautiful that it would infuriate both men and gods. She looked at Xia Sheng mockingly. “What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re interested in him? But I heard he recently got into a car accident and became disabled. You won’t be happy with him.”
She glanced at Mingzhu and stood up with a heavy heart. “You’re too late for that.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
She patted Mingzhu’s shoulder with a serious expression. Xia Sheng looked into Mingzhu’s eyes and said word by word, “I registered my marriage with Huo Ye today.” With that said, she swaggered off with a swaggering attitude. Mingzhu was left alone shrieking in the chairman’s office.
Xia Sheng did not want to explain to Mingzhu the details of how she was ‘bewitched by lust’ and ran out of the company. However, she was stopped the moment she stepped out.
“Young Madam, Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Not far away, the window of a cool off-road vehicle came down, revealing Huo Ye’s unbelievably handsome face. Xia Sheng got into the car resignedly. As soon as she entered, she asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I brought you food.” Huo Ye held up the still warm food container. “What are you doing here?”
Xia Sheng felt her scalp go numb. She subconsciously said, “I… I work at this company’s outsourcing company. I’m here to talk about outsourcing.” She quickly changed the topic. “How did you know I was here?”
Huo Ye glanced at her meaningfully but did not expose her lie. What a little liar. “What a coincidence. I’m also from an outsourcing company.”
Xia Sheng thought, “Liar”
The two liars had different thoughts although they were in the same car. One of them ate the food in the lunchbox uncomfortably. One of them supported his head and watched her eat.
Being stared at by Huo Ye, Xia Sheng felt like she was chewing on wax. Luckily, the car arrived at Huo Ye’s house not long after. She wanted to jump out of the car immediately, but Huo Ye grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Xia Sheng, who was caught off guard, felt the world spin around her as she fell into Huo Ye’s arms with a wooden fragrance.
He leaned over and caressed the corner of Xia Sheng’s lips. Looking at the handsome face right in front of her, Xia Sheng had difficulty breathing. Their warm breaths intertwined, she could almost hear her heart beating like a drum.
Huo Ye smiled secretly and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s stained with something.”
Xia Sheng was pulled out of the car by Huo Ye. She only realized it when she returned to the bedroom. He did it on purpose! She must have looked silly earlier. Xia Sheng, who had always been competitive, couldn’t take it anymore and swore to get back at him.
When Huo Ye came out of the shower, the first thing he noticed was that something was wrong with Xia Sheng. She looked at him as if he was her prey.
“Your hair is still wet. Let me dry it for you.” Xia Sheng said to him warmly and snatched the towel from Huo Ye’s hands. She deliberately stood face to face in front of Huo Ye and leaned over slightly to get closer to him. They were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing. His clear eyes widened and her beautiful features were reflected in his eyes.
At this moment, Huo Ye felt that time had stopped.
“Hubby, you look amazing.” Huo Ye’s heart skipped a beat. The simple word made the tip of his tongue go numb.
Huo Ye looked at her deeply. “What did you call me?”
Xia Sheng looked at Huo Ye’s shocked expression and felt smug. However, she did not stop teasing him. Her fingers caressed Huo Ye’s neck, lightly brushing across his burning Adam’s apple. “Hubby, you’re my man. Shouldn’t I call you Hubby? Why? Don’t you like it?” She deliberately exhaled.
Huo Ye’s rationality collapsed when she touched him. He grabbed Xia Sheng’s wrist and stared at her with burning eyes.. “Didn’t anyone tell you a man cannot be teased?”
