When Huo Tianyuan's car passed Binhai Road, in a casual glance, he saw Xiao Mu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, leaning against the front passenger seat of the car with a high-spirited look on his face. He put his arms around Gu Yichen, who was wearing a slim-fitting black coat.
Step into the cozy cafe!
Next to him, Zhao Liming was reporting to his boss about taking Li Xiao to Doctor Chen for an examination in the afternoon.
When he got in the car, he found that the door of his boss's Rolls-Royce was scratched. He was going to call someone to find the insurance company, but Mr. Huo waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's not urgent."
I asked Li Xiao again about his new residence.
Zhao Liming then asked his superior to see him off, and he also took the initiative to get in the car and lead the way.
During the conversation, he noticed that his boss's eyes were wandering and stopped at a certain point outside the window, and he followed his eyes and looked out——
I happened to see Gu Yichen on the opposite road being embraced by Xiao Mu with a smile on his face, entering a coffee shop with high-end decoration and style.
Zhao Liming lowered his gaze and asked cautiously in a low voice, "Mr. Huo, do you need to stop the car?"
Huo Tianyuan's deep eyes were still focused on the window. He did not answer his subordinate's words. He just took out his mobile phone with an indifferent expression and dialed a series of numbers that he knew by heart. After a crisp and pleasant ringtone, he heard a familiar and cold voice.
The voice said, "Hello..."
He slightly twitched the stiff muscles on his face, and his deep voice revealed a few rays of unconscious tenderness, "Where are you?"
The beautiful figure on the other side of the road didn't notice anything different, and she walked side by side with Xiao Mu without changing her expression. Her voice paused for a moment on the phone, and then she said calmly, "I'm at the company."
Huo Tianyuan hung up the phone without saying a word.
Zhao Liming noticed that his boss's mood suddenly turned gloomy, and immediately signaled the driver to turn back and return to the Shangdao Cafe he had just passed...
Huo Tianyuan stopped him coldly, "No need. Follow the original schedule."
After the words fell, he slowly closed his eyes and leaned back tiredly on the leather chair behind him. His long and powerful index fingers were clasped thoughtfully in front of him, and his handsome brows were dyed with color.
There was a hint of sadness: he knew that Gu Yichen heard the content of his phone call with his assistant at noon. He also knew why she wanted to see Xiao Mu.
Zhao Liming saw the frown on his boss's face and did not dare to say anything along the way. After telling the driver to drive faster, he sat quietly in the back seat, looking at his nose and heart. There was silence in the car.
of silence.

Jiahe Garden is located on the outskirts of the city. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and has convenient transportation access. The sales situation of the houses here is quite optimistic. Zhao Liming arranged a refined and elegant three-bedroom suite for Li Xiao here.
In the well-lit room, in the bright and tidy living room, Li Xiao turned on the TV, leaned into the off-white fabric sofa, and held the remote control for a while.
In the afternoon, after completing the examination at Doctor Chen's home, she heard Zhao Liming call Huo Tianyuan and tell him the results of her examination. Later, Zhao Liming brought her here and asked her to stay calmly.
She originally thought that Huo Tianyuan was going to put her under house arrest, but as Zhao Liming promised before, after the pregnancy test, those big men with dart shapes disappeared automatically.
She is free now. Even if she chooses to leave here in the next second, no one will stop her.
However, she didn't intend to leave just like that. From Zhao Liming's tone, it seemed that Huo Tianyuan was going to take the time to come over?
She probably guessed the purpose of his coming here, which she was happy to see happen. Even for the sake of the child in her belly, she should have a good talk with Huo Tianyuan.
At first, this was just a ridiculous idea, and it was Huo Tianyuan who pushed her to this point. Now, she can only continue to act according to this plot!
She called Mrs. Xiao and gave her a brief summary of her current situation. Mrs. Xiao was very pleased that she had come forward, saying that she was waiting for good news for her, and said that if she needed help,
You can call her anytime.
She only vaguely mentioned that Huo Tianyuan might not agree to the divorce proposed by Gu Yichen.
Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment and reassured her that as soon as the property rights of Meixi were obtained, she would immediately help her solve Gu Yichen's confusion. Li Xiao agreed submissively.
After hanging up the phone, her gloomy eyes turned, and she was surprised to see that the channel she had just tuned to the TV was playing yesterday's hourly news in City C - she had asked for leave these days, all by a woman named Feng Xi.
The child reported on her behalf.
Yang Ying said that this Feng Xiting would cater to the station director's preferences, and the station director was very fond of her. She also said that if she didn't take off her leave as soon as possible and go to work, the station director would let this Feng Xi take over her anchor position and transfer her.
She has gone to another department!
Li Xiao gently pressed the next channel with her finger and flipped through the face that was younger and more immature than hers. A contemptuous sneer overflowed from her bright and charming face:
Isn't she just a news anchor who smiled stiffly at a bunch of unknown TV viewers? After she became the young lady of the Huo family, the most famous family in the city, that old and perverted station director used an eight-carriage sedan to
I asked her to broadcast the news, but she didn’t even bother to go!
After snorting coldly, I heard a clear "ding" sound of the elevator stopping in the corridor, then a steady and powerful sound of footsteps, until a cheerful electric bell came from the door.
Li Xiao's pretty face was suddenly filled with a bright smile. He got up from the sofa, took off his fluffy cotton slippers and hurried to answer the door——
When she opened the door, she saw the familiar, resolute and handsome face. The smile on her face spread more and more, her slender arms suddenly opened, and she threw herself directly into the strong arms of the person who came, "Oh my god."
Yuan, you are finally here... Wuwu... I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
Behind him, there were two light coughs, "Cough cough——"
Li Xiao glared at Zhao Liming in annoyance for ruining the atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly (harmony) a few times.
Zhao Liming clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth and coughed lightly. He seemed to have taken the liberty to interrupt her overly enthusiastic hug, "I'm sorry, Miss Li, can we go in and talk?"
There was a clear trace of contempt in his eyes. According to his intuition, the boss's stiff posture showed that he was quite disgusted with this hug. He didn't know why Li Xiao was so weak recently and still hugged him tightly.
If he doesn't open his mouth to come to the rescue, I'm afraid the boss will get into trouble.
However, Li Xiao didn't appreciate it, and glared at Zhao Liming hatefully, then let go of Huo Tianyuan with a smile, with a smile on his bright face, "Tianyuan, come in quickly. I'll get you slippers -
—”
Turning around, he returned to the entrance of the house, and when he bent down to get his shoes from the shoe cabinet, Huo Tianyuan had already stepped on the black pair of Prada limited edition calfskin under his feet, and stepped directly onto the snow-white floor of the room.
, wherever he passed, a layer of faint gray shoe prints fell.
There was no trace of guilt on his face.
Zhao Liming followed behind and walked in. When he saw the cotton shoes in her hand, he glanced at them gently, then turned a blind eye and walked straight in.
A gloomy look flashed across Li Xiao's face: After all, she was half the owner of this house. How could they trample on the floor of her house without asking her?
When Huo Tianyuan was at home at noon, he always walked around wearing only socks. He even deliberately told her to put on shoe covers when she came in, saying that it was not easy for Gu Yichen to clean.
He does know how to pity women! Why can't he understand her difficulties when he comes to her?
Huo Tianyuan didn't look at her. He walked to the off-white fabric sofa, folded his body slightly and sat on the sofa. He folded his straight and slender legs and stared at her intently. He didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhao Liming, who was standing next to the sofa, lit another cigarette and brought it to his mouth at the right time——
Huo Tianyuan took a puff gently, twisted the cigarette with two fingers and pulled it away from his mouth. He frowned slightly and slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke, which curled into a hazy white expanse, making his handsome and three-dimensional deep facial features
It looks a little too handsome to be true.
The magnetic and deep voice was also dreamlike, "Xiaoxiao, let me ask you one last time, what do you want?"
This weird atmosphere and his unusually soft tone made her feel dazed for a moment, as if she had returned to their happiest and most beautiful time. He would always hug her affectionately and pamper her after the passion.
He whispered in her ear, "Xiaoxiao, tell me, is there anything you want?"
Whatever she said she wanted, he would always send Zhao Liming to bring it to her afterwards...
Her face moved slightly, she put the cotton shoes in her hand back into the shoe cabinet, walked over slowly, and sat next to him, her slender arms wrapped around his lean neck like vines, her moist red face
The timid words came out of his lips, "Tianyuan, for the sake of our child, let me come back to you!" "..."
In the silence of the room, the man coldly pushed her hands away, "Xiaoxiao, my patience is limited. You know better than me that this child cannot be mine!"
Li Xiao was stunned: “…………”

Shangdao Cafe. Xiao Mu ordered a cup of heated milk for Gu Yichen, a cup of coffee for himself, and two exquisitely tasted set meals.
Gu Yichen asked while smearing butter on the toast, "Mr. Xiao, don't you need to discuss it with Mrs. Xiao to borrow such a huge sum of 300 million?"
Xiao Mu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her lightly, "What do you want to say? Are you mocking me as the general manager for not being able to make the decision?"
Gu Yichen curled her lips innocently, rolled up the toast in her hand, took a bite of it, took another sip of milk, and then said slowly, "I am thinking about Mr. Xiao's family harmony."
Hearing this, Xiao Mu put away the frivolous look in his eyebrows and suddenly stared at her little face seriously, "Chenchen, actually, I also have a picture of the home I want in my heart..."
Gu Yichen avoided his hot gaze, raised the toast smeared with butter in her hand towards him, and changed the subject sarcastically, "Mr. Xiao, you should try it too, the butter in this store has a very pure taste."
.”
The slender white wrist was suddenly held by someone from a distance. Xiao Mu's warm face came over from across the table, getting closer and closer, so close that his hot breath almost sprayed on her pointed nose.
"Really? I want to eat from your hand..."
The strange and familiar male surname's breath, the youthful feelings revisited after a long absence, just like that year under the rainy cherry blossom trees, he kissed her lips gently, and he had also looked at her with such burning and passion.
She leaned over and whispered hotly in her ear, "Chenchen, let's be together!"
…
However, who would have thought that two years later, he and she could only look at each other from afar through an invisible wall. She could not get out, and he could not get in.
Until today, she finally decided to step out bravely, but her heart had already changed hands.
Gu Yichen looked away from the man's warm face in dismay, and whispered pleadingly, "Mr. Xiao, don't do this. I am still Mrs. Huo now. Even if I don't mind spreading a scandal with the handsome and charming Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid Mr. Xiao shouldn't bear it.
Would you like to be accused of ruining their marriage?"
Xiao Mu let her go, and sat upright on the seat behind him, looking at her carefully with a researching gaze, "Chenchen, you have changed!"
Gu Yichen was startled, put down the toast in her hand, took out a piece of tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth. There were some lipstick marks left on the white tissue.
She raised her eyes and smiled softly, "Really? Has it gotten better or worse?"
Xiao Mu's eyes were strangely deep and unpredictable, "I have become more mature, more sensible, more worldly, and I have become more polite with Brother Mu!"
Gu Yichen was startled again: Even she didn't know that she had changed so much! But it turned out that her marriage in less than a month had actually changed her so much!
For a moment, she didn't know how to deal with Xiao Mu's sharp words.
Fortunately, Lawyer Bai and Manager Lu arrived at the coffee shop in time after receiving Xiao Mu's phone call.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Mu found the person in charge of the coffee shop and opened a private private room for them.
At the small conference table for six people, Xiao Mu sat next to Gu Yichen and ordered Manager Lu to sort out the various disposable assets of the Xiao family and then report the amounts to him. He also ordered Lawyer Bai to follow what he and Gu Yichen had discussed in advance.
Good content, draft a formal contract in detail.
Manager Lu was probably the head of Xiao's finance department. After listening to Xiao Mu's order, he called his subordinates one after another, asking them to verify the items and specific amounts of all the company's movable assets one by one.
Xiao Mu looked at Manager Lu coldly, "I don't care what method you use, I want to hear accurate data before this afternoon."
Gu Yichen silently watched the busy people beside her, and then secretly glanced at the stern-faced Xiao Mu next to her from the corner of her eyes - it was a Xiao Mu whom she did not recognize at all, and a Xiao Mu who made her admire him with admiration.
She had never thought that Brother Mu, who had always been gentle to her, turned out to be so ruthless at work. No wonder, in just a few years, Mr. Xiao could transform from the middle-to-lower level that he had been before Uncle Xiao's death.
On a small scale, it has achieved a grand event that no one dares to underestimate today.
It’s no wonder that Mrs. Xiao, who hopes to have a successful son, has high hopes for him: if Xiao Mu really marries Mayor Cheng’s daughter, Xiao Mu’s future must be brilliant, right?
Recovering from the snapping keyboard sounds and intermittent phone calls in front of her, Gu Yichen turned her face, looked at Xiao Mu and said softly, "Mr. Xiao, actually, Miss Cheng is a good woman.
child."
Xiao Mu looked at her sideways in astonishment, "You mean, Cheng Zixuan?"
Gu Yichen nodded gently, "I once met Miss Cheng by chance, and I thought she was a very good person."
Xiao Mu frowned in confusion, "Zixuan is very good, but Chenchen, what do you mean?"
Gu Yichen glanced at the other two men in the room who were still busy with some scruples, lowered her voice, and said to Xiao Mu, "I don't think you should waste your energy on me. Besides, I will definitely pay for the money you lent me."
I will try to pay you back."
Xiao Mu glanced at her seriously, then suddenly made a "pop" sound and slapped his palm on the table, "No - Gu Yichen, you clearly know why I agreed to lend you such a large sum of money, you fucking
What did Cheng Zixuan suddenly say to me?"
Suddenly, all the eyes in the room were focused on her!
Gu Yichen lowered her head deeply in embarrassment, "What are you shouting for? I don't want to delay you. Your mother also likes Cheng Zixuan very much. You should know how to cherish..."
After Xiao Mu was stunned for two seconds, he motioned with sharp eyes to the two people beside him to continue working on the work at hand, and ordered in a deep voice, "Chenchen, raise your head -"
Gu Yichen looked up as she was told, and saw an uncontrollable smile on the man's Qingjun face, "Did you read any gossip magazines?"
Gu Yichen was puzzled, "..."
Xiao Mu, however, motioned for her to come over with interest, "Actually, you really don't need to be jealous. Zixuan knows that there is someone in my heart, and she also has someone in her heart. She has been hiding it for many years..."
Gu Yichen turned her face to look at him in surprise, "..."
There was a pleasant smile in Xiao Mu's eyes, "Okay, Gu Yichen, you don't have to say anything, I understand your apology!"
╭(╯3╰)╮. When did she say she wanted to apologize to him?
Xiao Mu ignored her worried look and asked Manager Lu if the inventory was complete.
After getting confirmation from the other party, he received the report form handed over by Manager Lu. He circled a few places on it with a red pen and gave clear and decisive instructions, "You remove 300 million from the account and transfer it to Miss Gu.
In my name. It will be done within three days."
Gu Yichen secretly thought: In three days, Huo's evaluation report also came out! Xiao Mu has really figured out Meixi's current situation!
Xiao Mu grabbed another black pen, glanced at the contract prepared by Lawyer Bai, and then decisively signed his signature.
Seeing that Gu Yichen also signed his name, he suddenly remembered something, pulled her and turned around to walk out of the private room, "By the way, I have a house in Xiangshan, do you want to stay there tonight?"
