Chapter 57

"She seemed to be very angry today. She said that she didn't want to give you a gift. I asked her why, but she wouldn't tell me. Later, she said that she would still prepare a gift for you because she wanted you to be happy."

"..." Huo Shaoting pursed his lips and didn't say a word, but it didn't look like he was angry.

As a result, Xia Tingfeng became bolder. "Uncle, I think the beauty is a very good person. Can't you be nicer to her? She is your wife. You won't lose anything by being nicer to her."

Huo Shaoting glared at him, but he didn't say anything.

Xia Tingfeng coughed softly, and then looked at him very seriously and said, "Uncle, if you really don't like the beauty... why don't you give her to me?"

"What did you say?" Huo Shaoting raised his eyelids and frowned slightly.

"I think Beauty isn't just beautiful, she is a good person, as well. If you really don't like her, then I will suffer some grievances and marry her when I grow up. You can rest assured that I will be very good to her." After that, he smiled shyly, and there was even a slight blush on his little face.

Huo Shaoting also smiled. He stood up and walked over to Xia Tingfeng. Then he grabbed him by the collar with a smile and threw him out of his office. When he closed the door, he said, "In your dreams!"

On this day, Huo Shaoting got off work early unlike usual. He took Ji Linxiao out to drink, but it was just drinking.

"Hey!" Ji Linxiao shook the red wine in his glass. "Are you on your period, or what? Why are you drinking so much? I won't take care of you if you get drunk."

Huo Shaoting shot Ji Linxiao a cold glare, and then glanced at the woman in loose clothes next to him. "Does Uncle know that you are like this every day? If you die in a woman's bed one day, I'll pretend I never knew you."

"What do you know?" Although Ji Linxiao said this, he still let the woman go.

"What's wrong? Have you turned over a new leaf?" Huo Shaoting mocked him.

Ji Linxiao shrugged. "After all, you have to find yourself some fun, don't you? I'm not like you, saving your virginity for a woman. For so many years, you've never been with a woman. Don't you want it?"

Huo Shaoting's expression turned cold. Ji Linxiao snorted and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with you today?"

"Nothing."

"If you say it's nothing, then there must be something. What's wrong? Did you make progress with Xi'an and now feel sorry for Yu Muyu?"

"Ji Linxiao, you look like a person when you don't speak. But when you speak, you'll make people want to beat you up."

Ji Linxiao laughed loudly. "If being beaten up would release me from all worries, I'd rather be beaten by you."

Huo Shaoting raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with you?"

"Well!" Ji Linxiao let out a long sigh. "I might... say my goodbyes to those free-spirited days soon. My old man has been arranging blind dates for me recently. I'm about to enter the grave of marriage soon."

Huo Shaoting paused for a moment before asking, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you about something like this? I just don't feel good thinking about how I would have to be with other women secretly," Ji Linxiao said gloomily. "No matter who that person will be, I already hate her."

Huo Shaoting made fun of him and said, "Perhaps you would love her and wouldn't separate with her at that time."

"Don't tell me you'll fall in love with Xi'an?" Ji Linxiao looked at the silent Huo Shaoting before snorting. "You've known each other for so long, but you've ended up like this. How can I fall in love with a woman that hinders my happy life?"

"..." Huo Shaoting stared at the wine glass in his hand. His eyes were as deep as two deep wells.

Yes, how could he fall in love with her? That could be anyone other than her.
