"I... don't need your explanation..." She stared at him with her clear eyes. She chose to believe him instead of those magazines that spread rumors.
Huo Chengxi took Xia Zhitong's small hand with his big hand and brought her into his arms, "Xia Yinxue, I have indeed met the elders of the Huo family."
"Could it be that... what was written in the magazine is true?" Xia Zhitong's eyes widened and her heart began to waver... But she kept telling herself in her heart that she must believe him.
"But I didn't see her that night..." Huo Chengxi's thin lips curled up slightly, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of pause, he said in a low voice, "She met my aunt, Huo Wanyi."
"She... met your aunt?" Xia Zhitong opened her lips slightly and looked at Huo Chengxi in surprise, "Why did she meet your aunt? Don't you and your aunt get along?"
A cold light flashed in Huo Chengxi's dark eyes, and it seemed that when he mentioned his aunt, his expression became solemn and terrifying.
"Because my aunt knows that there is a marriage contract between the Huo family and the Xia family, so she hopes that Xia Yinxue will marry into the Huo family."
Xia Zhitong's heart felt sad...
Whether it is Ji Yaqin or Xia Yinxue, it will never be her turn.
"She did this just...for the inheritance of the Xia family!"
"The inheritance of the Xia family?"
Xia Zhitong initially understood that Huo Wanyi's purpose was to marry Huo Chengxi with Xia Yinxue instead of her daughter Ji Yaqin, but...does the Xia family still have any inheritance? Isn't the Xia family already bankrupt?
Huo Chengxi stared at Xia Zhitong with cold eyes, and Xia Zhitong looked at his eyes seriously, and those bewitching eyes seemed to suck her in...
"The Xia family was not bankrupt at all, it was just transferred by your mother in advance. The wealth your father left you is far greater than you can imagine. Huo Wanyi, this woman, took a fancy to the inheritance your father left you.
That's why she came to the Xia family to discuss the marriage between the two families."
Xia Zhitong's heart suffocated, and the words Uncle Yan said to her that time in front of the Xia family's mansion suddenly came to mind.
She took a deep breath and grabbed Huo Chengxi with trembling hands, "What about you? What do you think? Will you agree to the arrangement given to you by the Huo family?"
"What arrangement did the Huo family give me?" Huo Chengxi's eyes were as dark and sharp as a cheetah's. He squinted at her nervous look, with a cruel smile on his lips.
"Mr. Huo, aren't you the only son of the Huo family? At the Huo family's dinner that day, weren't only members of the Huo family and people with close connections with the Huo family able to attend?" Xia Zhitong was suddenly a little confused. In fact, it had always been
It had always been her guess. In City S, there was only one consortium named Huo, and the name Huo Chengxi was verified by her. Could she be wrong?
Huo Chengxi's big hands left her slender waist and held her face. His voice was low and charming, "Of course I am the only son of the Huo family..."
Xia Zhitong suddenly saw an uneasy cold light flashing through his deep pool-like eyes, but she shook her head, preferring to believe that this was her illusion.
"You know, my aunt and I are at odds. My aunt is my father's cousin. She has disliked me since she was a child, but because I am the only son of the Huo family, she dare not touch me. The more she wants me to marry Xia
Yin Xue, I will never marry her. Silly girl, don’t worry, my aunt will find you in a few days..."
Huo Chengxi looked at Xia Zhitong with confused eyes, half understanding, and stared at him with confused eyes. The corners of his evil lips raised a proud smile, because he knew that Xia Zhitong had completely believed his words.
While she was still confused, his lips suddenly fell on hers.
A low hoarse voice sounded in her ears, and his kiss fell on her delicate neck, "Don't worry too much, you know? I'm here for everything, and she doesn't dare to do anything to you..."
Xia Zhitong closed her eyes and put her slender hands around his shoulders tremblingly.
She could only passively accept Huo Chengxi's kiss, but her heart was filled with many questions.
Did Huo Chengxi and his aunt really just dislike each other as he said? Out of a woman's intuition, she believed that their relationship would not be that simple.
