It's about seven o'clock in the morning.
The consistent biological clock made Mingyao open her eyes early. The light was soft and particles in the air were floating up and down. Mingyao stared at the lines on the curtains for a long time before realizing that this was not a dream.
There was unspeakable pain in every part of his body.
Mingyao closed her eyes and slowly curled up and hugged herself.
There were footsteps approaching from behind.
Someone touched her forehead, and Mingyao trembled.
"Come down and eat when you wake up."
The man's deep voice sounded.
She has to go to work today, and it is quite far from the company. She really needs to get up early to clean up.
Mingyao opened her eyes, but her body remained motionless.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of the man leaving the room that she sat up and lifted the quilt.
Next to the bed lay a long blue dress and lingerie.
Mingyao sneered, he was quite proficient in this process.
Not wanting to see the marks on her body, Mingyao put on her clothes and walked into the bathroom, where new towels and toiletries were placed.
Mingyao lowered his head and rinsed his face with cold water. He raised his head and saw that the person in the mirror had messy hair sticking to his face and his face was frighteningly white.
Walking downstairs with heavy steps, Mingyao wanted to change her shoes and leave quickly.
She didn't want to stay here for a second longer.
"Breakfast is already prepared, come here and eat, and then I'll find someone to take it to you."
The man's tone was indifferent and left no room for doubt.
Mingyao closed her eyes and stood there for a while before slowly walking to the dining room.
On the table is a steaming bowl of shrimp wonton noodles, nestled with baby green vegetables and poached eggs, and a cup of bird's nest, red dates and white fungus soup, which is fragrant.
Mingyao sat in the seat she used to sit in. In the past, Huo Yan sat next to her and Huo Xiao sat opposite her.
Now Huo Yan is gone, she is alone.
That's why Huo Xiao dared to bully her like this.
Mingyao picked up the spoon and scooped the soup into his mouth. The taste was smooth and rich, and the delicious taste danced on the tip of his tongue, and his taste buds instantly awakened.
Although she had no appetite, her stomach was empty and she was already hungry. She couldn't help but eat a little faster. Her abdomen was full and her body slowly warmed up——
She suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up and around.
Huo Xiao seemed to understand her concerns, raised his chin slightly, and said.
"The nanny and chef have been changed. They don't know who you are. Even if they haven't been changed, they don't dare to say anything."
Mingyao's shoulders relaxed slightly. She admitted that she cared about other people's eyes and opinions.
She would not tell anyone about this scandal, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Huo Xiao lit a cigarette. He didn't know if he had already eaten or if he wasn't hungry. There was only a water glass in front of him. A puff of smoke blew out from his thin lips, and he dusted the ashes in the ashtray with two fingers.
"Don't worry, those people working in this kind of family, what kind of things have they never seen? Our relationship is nothing at all."
"——What relationship do we have? We have no relationship at all!"
Mingyao's breath hitched due to his shamelessness, and she retorted loudly. She choked on the spicy smoke that hit her face, and her face turned crimson.
Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows, put out the cigarette, and asked with a slight smile.
"You don't think...it's over just this once, do you?"
"W-what do you mean?"
Mingyao looked at him in horror, her face turning from red to white.
Huo Xiaojing stared at her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised and his chin raised, with a wild animal look in his eyes.
"I want you to move back in, just like before."
...
The conversation ended in vain. Mingyao looked at the time and got into the back seat of the car arranged for her by Huo Xiao.
The driver in the front seat asked quietly.
"Ms. Shi, are you going to the publishing company now or...?"
Mingyao's face stiffened. This driver was Huo Xiao's former driver. He had even taken her and Huo Yan to the mall before. There was no way he didn't know who he was.
He originally called himself Mrs. Huo, but now calls himself Miss Shi.
Mingyao has no time to think about what he will think of her now. What Huo Xiao said to her is still echoing in her head.
...more than once? Come back to live?
Could it be that Huo Xiao wanted to develop a long-term relationship with her?
Mingyao felt a tight breath in her chest, unable to swallow or spit it out.
What kind of person does he want?
I have to find my brother's wife because my life is too boring and I am looking for excitement?
He stared at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the car window, with tears in his eyes, and his fingers clenched the skirt tightly.
This was the first time in her life that she hated someone.
"--parking!"
Mingyao saw something and quickly spoke to the driver.
The car slowly stopped on the side of the road. Mingyao got out of the car and went to a drugstore on the side of the road to buy contraceptives and water to take.
After seeing it, the driver in the driver's seat silently took out his mobile phone and sent a message.
...
"Mingyao, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Lin looked at Mingyao, who had been staring at the computer screen for a long time, and asked worriedly.
When she came in the morning, she noticed that Mingyao's face didn't look good and there was no color at all.
"Is it hypoglycemia? I have chocolate here, do you want it?"
Mingyao smiled at her, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Xu Xiaoxiao, the colleague next door, suddenly came over and asked curiously, "Hey, was it your husband who sent you here this morning? That car costs seven or eight million, right?"
Everyone in their office saw the wedding ring on Mingyao's hand, but they had never seen her husband.
As expected, beauties are looking for rich men.
Mingyao opened her mouth and didn't know how to respond, "I, I don't know much about cars..."
Xu Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue twice and asked enviously, "What kind of business does your husband do?"
Mingyao reluctantly opened her mouth, turned her head stiffly to the computer, and pretended to be busy at work.
Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise again, "Oh, your dress is a luxury brand, right? I saw it on the Web -"
"...Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom."
Feeling upset for a while, Mingyao frowned, stood up from her seat and left.
In the bathroom, Mingyao applied some lipstick in front of the mirror to make herself look energetic.
I stood at the corridor window and took a look.
The weather was gloomy, dark clouds were gathering, and there was a dull atmosphere in the air, as if it was going to rain.
Mingyao cheered herself up hard in her heart.
It's okay, people like Huo Xiao should only be interested in him on a whim, and they won't last for a long time.
Just wait for a while and wait for him to lose interest...
However, the harder he tried to relieve himself, the more bitterness appeared in his mouth.
Unfortunately, no one can tell about this matter yet.
Tears welled up in her eyes, Mingyao lowered her head and sniffed.
Mingyao was startled when she was suddenly tapped twice on the shoulder, and turned her head——
