The corridor is quiet and empty.

Xia Chuwei and Huo Yunting walked in tandem.

High heels stepped on the soft carpet, drowning out the sound of footsteps.

Xia Chuwei frowned, and her face didn't look good.

The tall and tall man followed behind her, and his eyes that could not be ignored were always on her body, full of oppression.

Xia Chuwei paused and looked at Huo Yunting suddenly, just in time to meet the man's deep and dark eyes looking at her.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Huo, does it look good?"

Caught on the spot by Xia Chuwei, Huo Yunting didn't feel any embarrassment, and his eyes didn't dodge or evade in the slightest. He still landed on her without any scruples, as calm and calm as ever, with his innate elegance and dignity.

He opened his thin lips lightly and uttered two words lightly.

"Ugly."

Xia Chuwei almost laughed out of anger, "It's so ugly that you keep staring at me as if you haven't seen a woman in a few lifetimes?"

Just after entering the banquet, many people were looking at her with strange looks.

Contemptuous, malicious, amazing.

But it was Huo Yunting's gaze that made her most uncomfortable.

I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but when she suddenly turned around to look at him, she actually saw a flash of plunder and possession in Huo Yunting's eyes.

When she took a closer look, the man's eyes were as calm and quiet as lake water.

Huo Yunting said with a gloomy look: "Mrs. Huo dresses so curiously, isn't it intentional to attract other people's attention?"

Curiosity?

Xia Chuwei couldn't help but look at the dress she was wearing.

The burgundy dress is dignified and elegant, with a tube top design that reveals a woman's delicate collarbones and slender and graceful neck.

It also showed off her graceful and slim figure.

After putting on this dress, Luo Xi exclaimed in shock: "Sister Chu Wei, you are definitely the most beautiful woman at the banquet tonight, bar none."

Huo Yunting actually said that she was curious?

Is this man blind?

Xia Chuwei said coolly: "Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Huo's vision has always been different, and only the Ye sisters are the most in line with Mr. Huo's aesthetics and taste. However, I still kindly advise Mr. Huo, even if

No matter how impatient I am, it’s only a few days away. I haven’t even divorced yet, but I openly carry her with me. The impact on you and Miss Ye will not be very good."

"By the way..." Xia Chuwei smiled as if she remembered something.

"I heard that Miss Ye is still a public figure. If this is exposed by any honest media, Miss Ye's future will be completely ruined."

Hearing this, Huo Yunting's black eyes narrowed. He took a few steps forward, his tall body enveloped her, and the air pressure around her also lowered.

"what did you just say?"

Xia Chuwei was startled. Her body instinctively sensed the danger and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

What's going on? She has obviously agreed to divorce, but now she's just taking advantage of her words. It's not harmful at all.

Why... would she feel his sullenness?

Could it be because...

Did he mistakenly think that she was threatening him with Ye Lanxue's future?

Before Xia Lanxue could speak, the door of a room not far away was suddenly opened, breaking the tense atmosphere between the two people.

The gray-haired old housekeeper came out. When he saw the two people, the old housekeeper smiled and said: "Sir and Madam, the old man is trying to talk to you. Come in quickly."

Huo Yunting nodded, responded lightly, stepped out his slender legs, and entered the room.

...

In the room, an old man with silver hair, an old face, but a very strong spirit was sitting on a mahogany chair and sipping tea.

Seeing Huo Yunting, a smile appeared on Mr. Huo's face.

"Yunting, you're here."

Huo Yunting presented the birthday gift and said simply: "Grandpa, happy birthday."

Mr. Huo smiled and accepted Huo Yunting's gift.

When he saw Xia Chuwei following Huo Yunting, the smile on his face gradually faded and his eyes became cold.

Xia Chuwei also handed over her gift, "Grandpa, I wish you blessings like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Mr. Huo did not reach out to pick it up. He looked at her coldly with his cloudy eyes, showing a trace of displeasure.

Xia Chuwei's hand froze in mid-air.

Xia Chuwei glanced at Huo Yunting, hoping that she could say something to save herself.

However, Huo Yunting seemed not to notice, standing there expressionless, without even looking at her.

Xia Chuwei gritted her teeth secretly.

Knowing that she couldn't count on Huo Yunting, Xia Chuwei quickly adjusted her expression and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is a gift for you."

Mr. Huo said calmly: "I can't bear Miss Xia's gift, so please take it back."

A trace of doubt emerged in Xia Chuwei's heart.

What kind of heinous thing did she do to make Mr. Huo dislike her to this extent?

Xia Chuwei asked tentatively: "Grandpa, do you hate me so much?"

Mr. Huo raised his eyelids and said, "Don't you know what you have done?"

"Does Grandpa hate me so much just because I married into the Huo family?" Xia Chuwei carefully observed Mr. Huo's expression, "But it won't be long before Huo Yunting and I are going to divorce."

Hearing the word "divorce", Mr. Huo's eyelids twitched inexplicably, as if he heard something extremely incredible.

Xia Chuwei noticed something and was about to ask again, but Mr. Huo suddenly waved towards the two people.

"I'm tired, please leave first."

Huo Yunting walked out of the room with an indifferent expression.

Xia Chuwei stood there for a few seconds and finally withdrew.

Mr. Huo's attitude was a bit off. His dislike of her seemed to be not just because she married into the Huo family.

After walking out of the room, when Xia Chuwei was about to go find Luo Xi, a low and pleasant male voice sounded from the side.

"Go and change your clothes."

Xia Chuwei glanced at Huo Yunting with an incomprehensible look and refused coldly.

"No change."

Huo Yunting emphasized his tone and said, "Change your clothes."

Xia Chuwei simply pretended not to hear and turned around to leave.

His wrist was suddenly held tightly by someone.

Huo Yunting looked down at her and repeated each word.

"I asked you to change your clothes."

"What clothes do I wear? What does it have to do with you?"

The man's beautiful thin lips uttered a word coldly.

"ugly."

If he feels ugly, he has to let her change?

Could it be that I had obeyed him in the past and that was why he got used to such a bad habit?

Xia Chuwei coldly shook off Huo Yunting's hand, "I'm sick!"

Just after taking a few steps, Huo Yunting's voice sounded from behind.

"Xia Chuwei, let me tell you one last time, change your clothes."

Xia Chuwei turned her head, a hint of unruliness appeared on her beautiful eyebrows.

"What if I just don't change?"
