Strangers Not In Different Paths

C23

Huo Tinton looked up at his watch. At ten-thirty in the evening, this girl should have already washed up and put on her clothes.

He walked over to the TV cabinet and unplugged the video control from behind the LCD TV and plugged it into a square machine that glowed red in the center.

Taking up the remote control, Huo Ting backed up a few steps and leaned left on the couch. He tapped the red power supply with his finger and white snowflakes began to appear on the TV.

The camera was recording the scene in Ye Jinxin's bedroom.

Afraid that she might not dare to go into the bathroom alone later, she washed up in the bathroom and came out in her loose pajamas.

The girl sat on the bed, wiping her wet hair with a white towel while looking around with suspicion. There were six lights in the room: the main light, the wall light, and even the small orange light on the bedside table had been turned on. The room was bright, so Huo Tindong could clearly see Ye Jinxin's expression.

He had already made up his mind. If this girl really couldn't overcome the fear of sleeping by herself, he would let her move in tomorrow. At most, she would just sleep on the sofa.

Actually, there was still a better solution. For example, spending money to find someone to sleep with Ye Jinxin was not difficult at all, but Huo Tindong felt uncomfortable. Even if it was a woman who slept with Ye Jinxin, he still felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was only because he was too used to it and did not want others to live in his house.

The girl still didn't dare to sleep. She just leaned on the back of the bed and stared blankly. Sometimes she would turn her head to the left, sometimes she would turn it to the right, and sometimes she would unconsciously raise her hand and nibble on her index finger.

The wind outside the door seemed to be blowing, the curtains fluttered, the girl's eyes glanced over, and with a scream, she picked up the quilt and buried her face deep in it.

The man was so shocked by her scream that he stood up from the sofa. After standing there for a long time, he finally sat down. Ye Jin had to rely on herself to walk over this mental barrier.

The wind had stopped and the curtains were no longer fluttering. The girl slowly poked her head out of the blanket and stared out the window.

Huo Tindong looked at his watch. It was almost midnight, and this girl had been busy for almost two hours. The man's brows furrowed into a deep frown. If the child still didn't sleep, he would have to go down and fish for him. With her small physique, how could she survive an entire night?

Whether it was because she was too tired or the fear slowly disappeared, the girl's head began to nod slowly and she started to doze off. However, it was obvious that she didn't dare to lie down and sleep, she only adjusted her sitting posture, added an extra pillow behind her back, leaned against the back of the bed, and found a comfortable position on her head to sleep.

Huo Ting Dong sighed in relief when he saw that the person in the camera had finally stopped moving. However, a sense of loss surfaced in his heart. Without him accompanying her, she could finally fall asleep.

With the key in his hand, he opened the door with a click, hiding his feet as best he could in the thick wool carpet.

Quietly approaching the girl, he put one hand through her neck and the other on her knee, slowly lifting her up and putting her back on the bed. Then he pulled the blanket over her, covering her tightly.

"Good night." Huo Ting Dong kissed the girl on the forehead. "You did very well and were very brave."

The man tried his best to suppress the disappointment in his heart. When he went out, he turned off the main light.

When she woke up early in the morning, Ye Jin was extremely excited. She didn't expect the fear that had been bothering her for more than ten years to be resolved in one night. She thought that she would not be able to sleep.

"Auntie Liu." Ye Jinxin walked into the kitchen happily and said, "I'll make breakfast for you today."

"Go .." Auntie Liu waved the shovel at her. "Don't give me any trouble."

Ye Jinxin's personality was open-minded and innocent, so all the nannies and servants got along well with her. The older ones treated her as their own child, and the younger ones treated her as their friend.

"Miss, did something good happen today? "Looking at his face, Zhang Xuan is full of smiles." Xue Shan asked as he placed the tableware and tablecloths neatly on the table.

"What good news can this early in the morning do?" Ye Jinxin raised her eyebrows, her eyes beaming with joy.

From upstairs, he watched the cute girl. For a moment, he thought that some people really did have stars hidden in their eyes.

Ye Jinxin smiled like a crescent moon towards Uncle Xue and continued, "It's just that I've finally asked for a control freak. Now that I found myself sleeping by myself at night, sleeping so comfortably."

He stopped walking down the stairs. Control maniac? And he had finally gotten rid of it? This girl can even blush without burping when she lies? When had he not been able to chase them away?

There are stars in his eyes, he said. This girl had no stars in her entire body. Furthermore, she was an ingrate who didn't have any eyes at all!

The servants greeted him as he came down the stairs. "Good morning, Mr. Huo."

Only Ye Jinxin curled her lips and stretched her body as if she was intentionally stretching as she shouted loudly, "Sigh, sleeping tonight is truly comfortable!"

Looking at the girl's complacent look, Huo Ting wanted to laugh, but he didn't have the time to pay attention to her. The company was preparing to discuss property rights for energy-saving land with the American branch, so he had to rush over early.

Huo Tinton put on his watch as he took out his ironed suit from the hook. He neatly put it on and adjusted the cuffs of his white shirt. Chief Huo Ting had always been a heroic person. The past few years of training had given him a mature and steady charisma. Just the simple action of tying his sleeves had made him feel a mess of elegance and handsomeness.

Ye Jinxin secretly glanced at him, and in a moment, she was already staring at him. She had to admit, Huo Tindong was really good-looking.

"Mr. Huo!" Aunt Liu frowned as she carried the prepared dishes out from the kitchen. She asked, "Are you not going to eat this morning?"

"What?" Ye Jin was getting anxious, "Dad, didn't you eat dinner last night?"

Dou Qi was Dou Qi, but this man was his family, so he had to show his concern at the crucial moment.

"I'm fine." Huo Ting Dong picked up his briefcase and held it by his side. "After you finish eating, obediently go to school. If the company meeting isn't long, I'll pick you up after school. If it's long, I'll arrange for Zhou Hao to pick you up."

"But .." Before he could finish, Huo Tindong opened the door and left the room.

Ye Jinxin sighed and mumbled to the disappearing figure, "But you haven't eaten yet, how are you going to work?"
