Chapter 776 Huo Xi, Merry Christmas!

"Ho Shaoting gently stroked her back, stroke by stroke, at this time she was so soft, he was very willing to indulge her like this...The entrance hall of the villa, stood Huo Zhondong and Lu Qian.Two...For a moment, Huo Xi's voice was a little hoarse: "You want to know"

Zhang Chongguang remained silent.

He just watched her silently for a long time, then his voice was hoarse: "It's getting late, it's time to sleep."

After that, she packed up her things.

He didn't usually spend the night at home, probably to avoid suspicion. However, his car broke down when he came, and Lao Zhao hadn't replied until now, so Zhang Chongguang stayed overnight.

His bedroom, still remained, the same as before.

"Good night."

As Zhang Chongguang went upstairs, he whispered to Huo Xi.

Huoxi knew he was running away, and didn't mind. He also smiled slightly: "Good night."

……

At night, Huo Xi slept late, perhaps because it was snowing outside.

She only felt that it was quiet and peaceful on snowy days.

Lying in bed, she could almost hear the sound of snowflakes falling. Unable to sleep, she simply got up and went to the window to watch the snow at night.

The bedroom was unlit, with only the external light seeping in, casting an ethereal glow.

The night wind is tight, and the fine snow is like a needle.

The glass of the bay window was fogged by the temperature difference, Huo Xi let out a light breath and stretched out her slender white finger to write two names on it: Huo Xi, Zhang Chongguang.

She wrote unconsciously, perhaps a habit formed in her youth.

Every snowy night, she would write his name, including the time he left city B to go abroad.

Huoxi stood alone for a long time, until the sound of footsteps came from the hallway outside.

Compared to normal people, there are subtle differences.

Is that... Zhang Chongguang

Huo Xi was startled, then carefully got back into bed and lay quietly... After about half a minute, there was movement from the living room outside, and someone came in.

He quickly arrived at the bedroom, Hoxi opening a sliver of an eye.

She saw Zhang Chongguang carrying something in his hand.

Ho ho, still thinking you're Santa Claus!

She didn't speak or move, waiting silently for his next action. Soon Zhang Chongguang sat down by the bed... so close to Huo Xi, just a reach away.

He really did touch her, a warm palm gently touching her cheek.

but it vanishes on contact.

Then came a long silence, nothing doing, just staring at her in the darkness... until Ho Hsi thought he'd sit till dawn, Zhang Chongguang suddenly spoke, his voice slightly husky.

He said, "Happy Christmas, Hosey!"

He put the Christmas present he brought on the bedside table and then left with the people.

When Zhang Chongguang left, Huo Xi slowly opened his eyes.

In the dim light, she saw his lame leg, struggling to walk out with difficulty... He was trying his best to be as quiet as possible... not to wake her.

Her eyes were misty with moisture.

Ho Xi watched quietly, watching him walk out of the bedroom, listening to him close the door to the living room.

She sat up in the darkness and reached out to take the gift.

It is a red apple.

She smelled it, it smelled good, with a fruity aroma.

This was a Christmas gift Zhang Chongguang had specially sent her. Huo Xi bit her lip and took a careful bite... It was sour and sweet, very delicious.

In the dead of night, she slept soundly. She dreamt of her youth.

When I woke up, the sky was bright.

Ho-xi looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock. She quickly got up...she still had to send Mianmian and Ruirui to school later. But as soon as she went downstairs, the housemaid told her: "Young Master Chongguang got up early. Mianmian and Ruirui wanted to see the snow scene, so Young Master Chongguang has already sent them to school. He will probably play for a while on the way."

Ho Xi was slightly taken aback.

She slowly sat down at the table and ate half her breakfast. Still feeling uneasy, she made a phone call to Zhang Chongguang.

After a few rings, he answered the phone.

"What's up"

Ho Xi thought for a moment before speaking, "I heard Li Sao say that you were playing with the children, that...you need to keep warm. I heard from Qin Secretary that your legs need special attention."

If it were in the past, Zhang Chongguang would surely have been sensitive.

But when they both gave up on being together, he became extraordinarily tolerant and peaceful. He hummed gently in agreement: “I’ll be careful! … Well, I’ll hang up now.”

……

Huoxi didn't know what else to say, and if he said too much, it would seem ambiguous.

None of them mentioned the apple from last night, nor did they expose his midnight visit to her room.

These became their unspoken secret.

Huo Xi was staring blankly at her phone. Lu You yawned and came down from upstairs, plopping down opposite Huo Xi and greeting her, "Good morning, Sister Huo Xi! ... Ah, why are all the family members up so early Uncle and Aunt went to see the snow scene in the mountains early this morning, even taking Xingxing with them. Brother Chongguang also sent the children to school, why didn't anyone take me"

He raised a cup of hot milk to his lips and took a sip.

"Lu You, little one, have you forgotten your age"

Lu You rested her chin on her slender arm, "I have to go to the society later, I heard there's an interview there, with a pretty difficult person… I'm a comic artist, why am I assigned this job"

Ho Xi knows about this.

Wasn't that famous actress Ms. Hu She was a well-known performer in her early years, wasn't she

The most shocking thing is that she was once the beloved of her uncle's grandfather.

She smiled and patted Xiao Lu's hand softly: "Ms. Hu is a close friend of your mother. She usually acts very high and mighty, rarely accepts interviews, and only agrees to this because she gives you some face. If you interview her successfully, your status in the company will definitely be different."

Lu You took a bite of her sandwich and said, "Actually, I don't have much ambition."

He agreed.

As her maternal uncle's favorite, Lu You had everything she could ever want from a young age. Her personal assets were already over 100 billion yuan, not counting what she would inherit in the future.

Ho Xi was just about to say something when Lu You changed her attitude: "It's also good to go and see Aunt Hu, after all, Mom always thinks of her."

Ho Xi patted her head: "I'll drive you there later."

Lu You said, "No need: I drove here myself."

Ho-xi then said nothing more, put down the cup in her hand and got up to go to the law firm. The maid saw that she had eaten little and couldn't help but ask, "Was breakfast not to your liking I see you only ate half of what you usually do."

Huo Xi was silent.

Then she put on her coat and walked to the entrance to change her shoes, smiling as she said, "It's delicious! But I have a breakfast meeting in a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much."

The maid laughed, "Miss, your business is doing very well, isn't it Meetings all day long: breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, dinner meetings, all fancy names, but no nutrition at all! You still have to fill your stomach at home, otherwise how will you scold people"

Huo Xi took her into his arms and kissed her: "Okay, I'll definitely eat more tomorrow morning, but it's too late today!"

Li Sao's old face blushed.

Holly got out and into the car. Before she started the engine, she thought: "If I eat an apple now, I certainly won't have breakfast."

She held a fork in her hand, watching the cars drive away outside, and muttered to herself, "Sister Hoxi looks like she's head over heels!"

Li Sao couldn't understand and echoed, "Then the meeting must have someone they like, right"

Lu You looked at her and softly uttered a few words: "The enemy is within!"

After that, she wiped her mouth and ran away.

Went to the company to pick up the task, wandered around the office until ten o'clock, and then slowly drove over to meet someone...

The place was booked by Miss Hu.

A very stylish hair salon, it is said that Miss Hu has been a patron since her youth and has grown attached to it over the years. Every time she comes, she treats it like her own home.

Lu You has also been here a few times, accompanying Wen Man. She was still young back then.

Now that I'm older, I can appreciate the style of this place.

She walked and sighed, truly filled with the capitalist flair! Every piece of furniture was imbued with the extravagance of wealth.

She walked quickly and, without paying attention, bumped into someone coming down the stairs.

That person did not dodge.

Lu You's body unexpectedly rammed straight into the other person's arms, solid and... Then her waist was held by someone, a warm big hand, firmly gripping half of her slender waist.

This was undoubtedly impolite. Lu You was about to reprimand, but that familiar aura...

It is... Chapter Baìyán.

It's him!

Lu Yu was stunned. She dazedly forgot to step back, forgot to escape his embrace... She was free-spirited by nature, and only one person could stir her heart.

That person is Zhang Baiyan.

After what felt like an eternity, a low and melodious voice reached my ears: "How much longer do you want to hold me"

Lu You suddenly came to his senses.

She suddenly stepped back, but forgot she was on the stairs. That hand tightened its grip around her, preventing her from falling...

In that instant, she looked into Zhang Baiyan's eyes.

His eyes held no emotion, even a coldness, just like every time they met after their separation.

"Thank you."

Lu You stood still, politely yet stiffly thanking him, then tried to walk around him: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, I have something else to do, let's reschedule this."

She thought that Zhang Boyan didn't really want to see her either.

This sentence of thanks is just courtesy, everyone knows it. In reality, we would never usually interact with each other.

But to his surprise, Zhang Baiyan calmly spoke: "How do you plan to repay me Are you going to act like before, shamelessly coming over and treating me to meals, buying me expensive gifts, all to achieve your goal of pursuing a man Lu You, how could you be so stagnant after all these years You haven't changed at all, still using the same tricks."

Lu Yu's pupils constricted.

After a while, she found her voice again: "Mr. Zhang is overthinking! I won't use the same methods on you again, please rest assured."

"Is that something that would be used on other people"

Zhang Baiyan pressed closer step by step.

Just when Lu You didn't know how to respond, a female voice rang out: "Bai Yan, what do you think of this dress Wouldn't it be too plain for the toast at the engagement ceremony"

After a moment, Xu Zhanyou appeared softly.

She wore a light pink dress that accentuated her slender and perfect figure, complementing Zhang Baiyan's outfit.

She said… Cheers!

It turns out, they're getting engaged.

Lu You's heart tightened slightly, but on her face, she appeared very calm. She looked at the pair of wall statues in front of her and said softly, "Congratulations to you both!"t.Where does it look like she just gave birth two months ago"Man's voice was hoarse: "What else is there left to talk about From the moment Chu Lian appeared, I've shown repulsion and disgust. But if...
