Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

I could hardly lift my head.

That's terrible.

How could she be so bad?

I can't do anything right, and at times like this I can only think about random things.

In front of the beautiful and outstanding Ms. Ruan, he is more like a clumsy ugly duckling.

Is he looking at her too?

Did he see all her clumsy behavior and think she was ridiculous and useless?

Xia Xinyi's eyes turned red again.

Why is she always so useless and can't do anything right?

She couldn't bear to imagine his expression, and her tears fell even faster. She wiped her face in panic: "I, I'm sorry...Ms. Ruan, I, I... I'm really sorry..."

Unable to control it, there was a hint of tears in my voice.

She was desperate and self-deprecating. She had extravagant hopes in her heart, but more of it was shame.

She hoped that he could understand her cautiousness, but was also afraid that her foolishness would be seen through and lead to ridicule.

She wanted to be seen by him and get his attention, but she was also inferior about her appearance and ordinariness, and was afraid that he would be bored with her.

Complex and conflicting emotions were pulling at her heart, making her feel painful and entangled, and she couldn't stop crying.

She is really bad.

"Why are you crying?"

Ruan Xingchen was at a loss for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Don't be nervous...it's just a small matter. I'm just worried that you might hurt yourself. I don't mean to blame you."

"I, I'll go clean it up right away."

She wished the ground would crack right now so she could jump in.

Xia Xinyi was extremely embarrassed. She covered her face and went to get tools, sobbing, "I, I'm fine! Let me cry by myself. I'll be fine after crying for a while."

Her voice was trembling and her hands and feet were weak.

If possible, she wanted to curl herself up into a ball and not expose even a little bit.

Seeing that she was crying so hard and didn't seem to want to be seen, Ruan Xingchen had no choice but to let her go on with her busy work.

Huo Yan lowered his head, swallowed the last mouthful of noodles, and said calmly, "Let her do it herself. Madam has been tired all night, go upstairs and rest."

"is this okay?"

Ruan Xingchen was a little worried and said, "Xinyi's mood doesn't seem right."

Are you being bullied at work?

Or did something else happen?

"Perhaps she is even more uncomfortable with us being here."

Huo Yan frowned slightly.

He didn't care what Xia Xinyi was thinking.

Just like the Huo family is very big, he doesn't care that she lives here temporarily.

He was just impatient with the timing of her appearance and didn't like Ruan Xingchen giving her too much attention.

Apart from this, Xia Xinyi could not leave any trace in his heart.

His voice was calm as he said, "Ms. Xia probably needs some time alone to process her emotions."

We are all adults, can't we handle even the smallest emotions?

Even if she is not capable, she should not take up the lady's sleep time.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and Huo Yan felt even more dissatisfied.

Ruan Xingchen didn't notice his change of expression. She was convinced by him and didn't hesitate any longer. "That's right... If she's still like this tomorrow, I'll go ask her again."

Sometimes it's not a good thing to interfere too much.

Huo Yan walked her to the door, rubbed her hair with his big hand, and said casually, "Speaking of which, since Miss Xia has started working, isn't it inappropriate for her to live in our house?"

"Huh?" Ruan Xingchen was a little surprised and looked up at him.

"It's not that I'm chasing her away, but it's inconvenient to live with someone like her."

Huo Yan's face was calm, as if he was just saying it casually: "It was okay when she got into trouble at first, but now she lives here as a guest, and I'm afraid she must be feeling uncomfortable."

"Grandma is now accompanied by Qianqian and the others, and there are servants taking care of her at home."

He said gently, "Doesn't the foundation also have staff dormitories? Since Miss Xia has already started working, wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to move there?"

Ruan Xingchen was silent for a moment.

If you put yourself in her shoes, if she were asked to stay as a guest in someone else's home all the time, no matter how easy the host was to get along with, she would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

How can you feel at ease living in a place that is not yours?

What's more, to put it bluntly, the gap between the Huo family's life and Xia Xinyi's life is like an insurmountable chasm.

It is not a good thing to ask her to experience this gap all the time.

She used to feel sorry for Xia Xinyi's experience and was grateful for her help. She was worried that she would be unsafe living alone outside, so she invited her to live in the Huo family.

Now that I think about it, her kindness might not be what she wanted.

"I'll find time to talk to Xinyi?"

Ruan Xingchen has never been a stubborn person and is very receptive to other people's opinions. "The accommodation conditions at the foundation's dormitory are very good. She can make more friends living with her colleagues. I'll ask her if she wants to move there."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile. "I'm afraid she's shy and hasn't dared to tell me about this idea. If it's okay, let her move into the dormitory in a few days!"

After all, humans are social animals.

Only by integrating into the world can Xia Xinyi's personality become more cheerful and she can face life better.

Huo Yan didn't care what Xia Xinyi thought, nor did he care whether she wanted to integrate into this society.

He only cared that Ruan Xingchen was persuaded by him, and there was one less person in the family competing with him for his wife.

This made him feel happy, and he responded casually, with the corners of his mouth raised: "Everything depends on the arrangements of the madam."

Seems somewhat docile.

Ruan Xingchen glanced at him, and seeing him lowering his eyebrows and smiling, his heart moved slightly.

She raised her hands and hooked them around the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer to her.

She didn't need to exert much force, he naturally bent towards her according to her strength without any resistance.

Who would have thought that Mr. Huo, who is so arrogant and domineering in public and is flattered by everyone, could actually show some behavior that is similar to "well-behaved and obedient"?

A smile appeared on her face unconsciously. She stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips: "Good night, Mr. Huo."

"Good night, ma'am."

Huo Yan's eyes softened immediately and he responded with a gentle kiss.

Their hearts were filled with tenderness and sweetness, and neither of them noticed as they returned to their rooms that Xia Xinyi was standing at the corner of the stairs with a pale face and dull eyes, like a ghost.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xia Xinyi bit her thumb tightly, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Is she going to be driven away?

They don't allow her to continue living in the Huo family?

Once she left the Huo family, she resumed her ordinary life, a mediocre life in this prosperous city.

H City is so big and has such a large population, she is just an ordinary one.

Would she ever see him again? Would she ever be able to touch him again?

Did he really turn into the bright moon in the sky, so out of reach that she would never have the chance to touch him again?

Whenever she thought of this possibility, her heart ached terribly and she couldn't accept such a cruel reality.
