C135 emotional outburst
Gu Xiaoxiao tidied herself up and whispered, "Be careful on the road. Goodbye."
"You too. Goodbye."
Gu Xiaoxiao got off the train and watched Daniel's car slowly drive away. Daniel was in the rearview mirror, watching Gu Xiaoxiao's figure slowly disappear into the distance.
All of this was witnessed by the rarely seen early return of the Huo Mo Ting, but due to the angle of the problem, he didn't see the man's face. He silently wrote down the license plate number in his phone and sent it to the secretary, and told her to use the fastest time possible to find out the owner of the car.
Gu Xiaoxiao turned around and walked into the house. At the same time, Huo Mo Ting looked in the direction of the door and pondered for a long time before slowly pushing open the door.
Gu Xiaoxiao had just finished changing her clothes and was about to tidy up the recent documents when she was given a fright by Huo Mo Ting, who had barged in. For a moment, she was at a loss for words. "Mo Ting, you came back early today."
Gu Xiaoxiao spoke nervously. Seeing the faint panic in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Hou Mo Ting frowned slightly and said, "Yeah, there's nothing going on in the company, so I came back early. I hope I didn't disturb you?" As he spoke, a hint of sharpness flashed through her eyes.
The coldness in Huo Mo Ting's words once again hurt Gu Xiaoxiao. She felt a burst of sadness, but immediately calmed down and replied with the same tone, "What do you mean? Did you come back so early to mock me?"
"No, I'm just reminding you that you're still the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, and my wife. Don't forget your duty as a wife." As he spoke, he changed into slippers and headed to the study room.
"Homer, stop right there. What do you mean, you suspect me? What right do you have to doubt me! "
"You understand."
"Speak clearly. Why are you wrongly accusing me? Before I even ask you, you've already come to question me, no?"
"Alright, you don't want to cause trouble, okay?"
When Aunt Li heard the quarrel between the two, he hurriedly put down his work and came to the living room. "Young Master, Young Madam, the meal is ready. Come and eat."
Gu Xiaoxiao, who was still fuming, looked at the cold expression on Hou Mo Ting's face and was unable to contain her anger. She shouted, "Let the women outside cook for you."
Huo Mo Ting's expression changed slightly, like a fox whose tail had been stepped on, he clenched his fists and said uneasily, "Eat first. We'll talk after you're done eating."
Huo Mo Ting's abnormal actions further confirmed Gu Xiaoxiao's suspicions. He could no longer suppress the grievances in his heart. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes as he turned around and ran into his bedroom.
However, he didn't know how to comfort her. For a moment, he was stuck in a dilemma, so he could only tell Sister Li, "Sister Li, bring the food upstairs for Xiaoxiao to eat. Don't let her get hungry." Then he went into the study alone.
Homer sat at his desk with his wedding picture in his hand, as if he were thinking of something and smiling from time to time. Suddenly, Huo Mo Ting thought of Gu Xiaoxiao's teary expression and her frail figure as she turned to leave. He could not help but feel pain in his heart.
At this thought, a sullen expression surfaced on Gu An An An's face. Huo Mo Ting was somewhat angry. Although Gu An An's words didn't have any loopholes and seemed to be true, Huo Mo Ting was naturally a businessman. Feelings told him that things might not be as simple as they seemed, but he couldn't quite place the problem. However, he knew that the most urgent matter at hand was to settle Gu An An An's matter and set Xiaoxiao at ease.
With that in mind, he got up and went upstairs with a washed fruit. He knocked on the bedroom door a few times, but there was no response, so he turned the knob gently and pushed it open.
Before she even ate her meal, Gu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed as though she was asleep. Hou Mo Ting placed the fruit on a short table beside him and walked in front of Gu Xiaoxiao, carefully examining the beautiful woman in front of him.
Gu Xiaoxiao had not fallen asleep, but she did not wish to see him. As such, she pretended to be asleep and closed her eyes tightly.
Perhaps it was due to her being stared at for too long, Gu Xiaoxiao could not bear it any longer and her eyelashes trembled. As she started to tremble, Homer's heart trembled. Her eyelashes fluttered as she laughed out loud. Following the sound of laughter, Gu Xiaoxiao's face slowly turned red.
Hou Mo Ting coughed lightly as he poked Gu Xiaoxiao's face. With her mouth open, she said, "Xiaoxiao, it's time to wake up and eat. We can't sleep anymore." Seeing that she was unable to dodge, Gu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes. When she saw a familiar handsome face with a smile hanging on it, Gu Xiaoxiao's slightly red face turned red.
In order to alleviate the awkward situation, Gu Xiaoxiao was the first to speak, "I'm hungry. Where's the food?"
Hou Mo Ting dotingly scratched Xiao Xiao's small nose and pointed to the dishes on the table. "There. Get up and eat together."
With a blush on her face, Gu Xiaoxiao got off the bed and sat opposite to Huo Mo Ting. She almost lowered her head to eat in silence while Huo Mo Ting picked up the rice bowl and ate slowly, giving food to Gu Xiaoxiao from time to time.
The two of them finished their dinner in silence, each looking at the other with deep thoughts in their hearts. After a long while, Mo Ting was the first to speak, "Xiaoxiao, you have to believe me no matter what. "But I definitely didn't do anything to let you down. I just need some time to take care of it. Just give me some more time, okay?"
When Gu Xiaoxiao saw the sincerity in Huo Mo Ting's gaze, the bond between their hearts grew even closer. However, she was still dissatisfied with the fact that she was concealing it. "Alright. I'll give you time. I hope that I can get the answer I want when the time comes."
In a western restaurant, a couple was talking about love with each other. It turned out to be her boyfriend and Kieran. The two of them were talking and laughing as they ordered a table of delicious food.
"Of course, I'm going on a business trip in a few days. Will you accompany me then?"
"But I still need to work. There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. I'm afraid I can't leave."
The man carefully cut up the steak for Kieran and fed it to her gently. Kieran's face was also sweet as he enjoyed the attention of the man.
"If you don't go, then neither will I. What's the point if I don't have you."
The man lowered his head and waited for Kieran's response.
"Then... "Oh, okay, you can't help it. I'll arrange my work as much as I can, and then I'll make time to go with you. Is that okay?"
"That's more like it. Of course I'm the best, I'm the most obedient."
The man got up and smirked as he got closer to Kieran. Kieran's face was blushing as he slowly closed his eyes.
"Ding dong." A text message suddenly sounded out, interrupting their plans for the next step. Kieran, who had been interrupted, opened his cell phone in a fit of anger. He was shocked by the text message. There was a man and a woman in the picture, very intimate. The woman in the picture had been beaten up in a mosaic, but the man in the picture could clearly see that it was Homer. Kieran felt like his anger was rising. He could not help but curse, "Damn it, what a beast!"
"What happened? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" The man sitting across from him was shocked by Kieran's sudden change and asked carefully.
"Indeed." "Oh wow, the photo has already been sent to me and I don't know who this woman is. How can I explain it to Xiaoxiao?" Kieran rubbed the top of his head, not knowing what to do.
"Really? Huo Mo Ting isn't that kind of person, he wouldn't be hiding anything, right? " The man propped his chin and casually said.
"The photo was sent to me. The person in the photo must be him, and there was a woman beside him. How could it be fake?" Kieran concluded. "Oh, shit."
"Sigh, if that's the case, then Gu Xiaoxiao is truly pitiful."
"Yes!"
In another corner of the city, a woman was enjoying her own life. She was holding a snack in one hand and a cup in the other. She was eating and drinking red wine. This woman was Gu An'an. The instant she pressed the send button, she seemed to feel that victory was already within her grasp. Her entire body floated in the air, filled with excitement at the impending victory.
"Hmph, Gu Xiaoxiao, aren't you proud of yourself?" I won't let you live in peace. Just you wait and see.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps between the curtains. The clearly visible light and the mottled light that sprinkled on Gu Xiaoxiao's face caused her to slowly open her eyes and look at her chest. Gu Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Feeling the warmth from Huo Mo Ting's chest, Gu Xiaoxiao was inexplicably moved. She looked at him in fascination. Gu Xiaoxiao felt an inexplicable sense of security when she saw her sleeping appearance. Gu Xiaoxiao secretly got out of bed. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she tiptoed downstairs, afraid that she would wake him up and see Madame Li preparing breakfast. Gu Xiaoxiao slipped into the kitchen and said, "Sister Li, I'll help you cook today."
Sis Li looked at the excited Gu Xiaoxiao and seemed to understand something. She did not stop her and said softly, "Alright."
He frowned slightly and put on his clothes. When he opened the bedroom door, he saw Gu Xiaoxiao busily working downstairs, and when he saw her excitedly setting up the table, he smiled. It was as if he had seen them back then, and he couldn't help thinking how great it would have been if things hadn't happened recently.
Gu Xiaoxiao inadvertently raised her head and saw Huo Mo Ting staring at her. She felt slightly embarrassed, but she immediately calmed down. Holding her waist, she said, "What are you looking at? Why aren't you washing up and eating downstairs? I'm personally cooking today."
With a doting look on his face, he smiled and replied softly, "Alright."
The two of them sat facing each other but Huo Mo Ting refused to move his chopsticks. He only looked gently at Gu Xiaoxiao as if she was the breakfast of the day. Gu Xiaoxiao blushed and said, "Quickly eat. It's getting late. You still have to work." Only then did Huo Mo Ting reluctantly retract his attached gaze and he began to leisurely eat the delicious love breakfast.
After the meal, the two of them left the house at the same time. At the moment they parted ways, Huo Mo Ting pulled Gu Xiaoxiao to his side and kissed her. He was caught off guard. She kissed Gu Xiaoxiao on the cheek before walking away. However, Gu Xiaoxiao was alarmed by this action. After a long while, she reacted and began her work for the day.
