Chapter 124 Can I go to your house to take a shower?
Huo Xuan had no intention of responding.
In the next few seconds, Pei Miao strangely noticed that Huo Xuan was staring at her lips, his eyes were straightforward and thoughtful.
Just stay like this -
Pei Miao began to purse her lips nervously.
Then, Huo Xuan sneered slowly and said, "It's okay. A good boss should take care of his distraught employees."
"..."
Pei Miao:?
Has Huo Xuan become a good boss again?
He really knows how to flatter himself.
Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows in a frivolous manner, his dark eyes flashing with understanding, as if to highlight how considerate he was.
"Although you didn't do anything out of line to me last night, your request for my support truly shattered my worldview."
Pei Miao's eyes widened and her chest began to rise and fall. She was infuriated by Huo Xuan's shamelessness.
But there is no evidence to prove that she didn't say those words last night!
No matter how sharp-tongued Huo Xuan was, Pei Miao just couldn't believe that she would say such obscene words!
Pei Miao suddenly laughed out of anger and started to say something sarcastic: "That really wronged you."
"Yes." Huo Xuan paused, then continued, "To ensure my personal safety, Assistant Pei, I hope you won't drink anymore in the future."
"After all, no one can predict what will happen if you have sex after drinking."
Pei Miao's mind was already in a daze, and she was also a little sad because of what happened yesterday.
Now, Huo Xuan’s words made him sober up.
She laughed in anger and gritted her teeth: "I know, Mr. Huo!"
"Are you angry because of shame?" Huo Xuan stared at her with a frown, a smile in his eyes.
Pei Miao took a deep breath to avoid being angered to death by Huo Xuan on the spot.
She put on a polite smile and continued to grit her teeth: "No! There is!"
Cold atmosphere——
After a while, Huo Xuan withdrew his gaze, straightened his clothes, and said with a compassionate look, "Then go and clean up."
"If someone saw you like this, they'd think I did something to you." He paused, then suddenly smiled. "I'll give you a day off, Assistant Pei, with pay."
Pei Miao, who had already worked, was instantly touched. Paid vacation!
Pei Miao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Huo Xuan, and she decided not to argue with him: "Mr. Huo, you are such a good person."
Huo Xuan glanced at her in confusion and twitched his lower lip imperceptibly.
A hint of malice flashed between his brows. He walked around Pei Miao and only spoke in a low voice after reaching the stairs. His words hinted at asking for a beating.
"Assistant Pei, your eyes are swollen like walnuts."
He added sarcastically, "It's really ugly."
Then, with a "bang", he entered the room.
!!!
real,
Ugly? ! !
Pei Miao loves beauty the most. She rushed back to the house and picked up a mirror like a frightened bird.
Sure enough, her eyelids in the mirror were red and swollen, and her face was a little swollen because she drank too much.
Pei Miao's defense was broken: "System, system! Come out!"
[Host, what are you doing... I'm watching a movie. ]
"You, a system, actually watch movies?" Pei Miao was incredulous.
The system said proudly, "You completed the mission, and I've leveled up. I'm watching the show you humans all love, 'The Domineering CEO's Forced Pursuit of His Wife: One Birth of 18 Treasures!'"
"You're only thinking about romance right now. Otherwise, you could complete other tasks and help me find my true form. Hey~"
Pei Miao's mouth twitched.
what?
What do you humans love to watch, "The Domineering Mr. Gu Forcefully Pursues His Wife: One Birth of 18 Treasures"?
18 babies in one pregnancy?
Even sows can't give birth that well, can they?
Besides, humans are not that stupid!
Pei Miao slapped her face in the mirror in annoyance, blocking the system's next line: "Help me get rid of the swelling. Look at my face, it's so ugly."
The system stretched its head to take a look and let out a strange laugh.
Then——
【alright. 】
【I continued watching the movie. 】
Pei Miao's eyes in the mirror were visibly no longer red or swollen, and her swollen cheeks had returned to normal.
But the back of my head still aches slightly, and my whole body feels uncomfortable because of the hangover.
Pei Miao sighed and went into the bathroom to take a shower, then lay down on the bed to continue resting and sleeping.
As for Fu Shengzhuo, let it be.
…………
…………
Boom, after a quick thunder, heavy rain poured down on people's heads.
Huo Xuan stood on the street, his dark brows furrowed, holding the crab roe buns that Pei Miao had said she liked before.
After thinking about it, he hid the buns in his coat. He didn't bring an umbrella or Fang Jiaojiao. The weather was so bad that he could only stand under the eaves to avoid the rain.
The temperature was low at night, the rain turned into a curtain of rain, the white mist blurred the vision, and Huo Xuan's face became colder.
He took out his cell phone and called Assistant Fang.
"Come and get me."
Assistant Fang: "Mr. Huo, you don't have an umbrella?"
Huo Xuan: "Yeah."
Assistant Fang: "I've returned to my hometown. Why don't you call me Assistant Pei? Isn't Assistant Pei..."
Huo Xuan hung up the phone.
Suddenly——
There was a noisy sound.
"That's him! His father is a murderer!"
"Bah, why doesn't the son of a murderer just die? My father is dead, why are you still alive!"
"Do you think that paying compensation and having your dad go to jail can make up for the mistakes your family made? My dad is a firefighter and is about to retire and enjoy his life. Fuck you, why did your dad drive a car after drinking?"
"Speak up, are you mute? Fu Shengzhuo, your whole family deserves to die!"
"..."
Fu Shengzhuo?
Huo Xuan's eyes moved, thinking of what Pei Miao said last night when she lay on his chest, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
He wrapped the crab roe in his arms and walked towards the sound.
Then he saw a woman with disheveled hair pushing Fu Shengzhuo like crazy. Fu Shengzhuo lowered his head and said nothing, allowing the woman to insult, choke and beat him.
The woman's name was Wei Jingyan. She was soaked by the rain and had a fierce look in her eyes. She raised her hand and slapped Fu Shengzhuo on the face several times. Fu Shengzhuo's face soon swelled up and was scratched by her sharp fingertips, bleeding.
Wei Jingyan spat on Fu Shengzhuo, then raised her hand to slap him.
However, this time, her wrist was restrained by Huo Xuan.
Huo Xuan shook her hand off, his face expressionless: "Have you had enough?"
"...You, who are you?" Wei Jingyan was stunned. Her eyes swept across Huo Xuan, surprise flashed in her eyes. She straightened her back instantly and put away the ferocious expression on her face.
The voice was filled with tears: "Do you know what his family did? I beat him up, this is his retribution..."
Huo Xuan was unsympathetic: "Did his family compensate your family?"
Wei Jingyan's whole body was stiff.
Lost...
"I remember I lost two million?" Huo Xuan had already investigated all the information about Fu Shengzhuo, and he knew it all.
Wei Jingyan was unwilling to accept this: "Two million can buy my father's life!?"
"He paid compensation, and Fu Shengzhuo's father was caught driving drunk and went to jail." Huo Xuan recounted calmly, "It was all his father's fault, and he paid the price."
"So what? Fu Shengzhuo is the son of a murderer! He owes my family a life, and he can never pay it back, ever!" Wei Jingyan's eyes were filled with tears. She gritted her teeth and pushed Huo Xuan hard, then left without looking back.
The rain was so heavy that Huo Xuan was soaked and his trouser legs were splashed with dirty water.
Huo Xuan's lips were straight, unhappy: "Can't you pick a place where she can hide from the rain?"
Fu Shengzhuo: ...
Huo Xuan glanced at his body, then touched the bun in his chest, which was also stained by the rain.
His deep, dark eyes glanced at the waterproof jacket on Fu Shengzhuo's body, and he said slowly: "Give me your jacket, go buy some buns."
Fu Shengzhuo didn't want to pay attention to him, but Huo Xuan had just helped him, and with Pei Miao...
The corners of his lips twitched: "Yeah."
Huo Xuan was a mysophobe, and was afraid that his dirty trouser legs would soil his house when he got home, so he clicked his tongue and spoke in a drawling tone without allowing any objection.
"Can I come to your house and take a shower?"
