Chapter 136 - Eavesdropping

“No buts!” Ye Shaochen firmly grabbed Huo Yunxi’s hand and asked, “Just tell me, do you still want to be with me?”

From the time she was seventeen until now, she had only seen him in her heart for nearly five years. Of course, she was willing to be with him, but now

Huo Yunxi remained silent for a moment and bit his lips. “If my eyes regain their sight, we will be together,” he said.

She was still a little worried about her current self.

“Alright.” Ye Shaochen agreed without any hesitation. He reached out to pinch Huo Yunxi’s little nose and teased, “You want me to chase you?”

Huo Yunxi’s eyes lit up and he nodded, “Right, I was always chasing you, but now it’s finally your turn to chase me!”

Looking at the incomparably harmonious scene in the ward, Ye Haoran pursed his lips at the door and turned around to leave. There was a sense of relief and disappointment in his eyes, but it was still very warm to see the two people he cared about the most being happy.

Probably because she was in a good mood, Huo Yunxi recovered her eyesight a week after Ye Shaochen confessed. It was said that one of the things she did when she opened her eyes was to catch Ye Shaochen and ask him to repeat what he said that day.

“Yunxi, congratulations.” Xia Luobing looked at the happy Huo Yunxi and smiled, “You must be careful in the future.”

Huo Yunxi looked around and smiled, “Sister-in-law, when did you buy the house? Does Big Brother know?”

The new house that Xia Luobing bought before was ready to move in, and Xia Luobing moved out of the Xia Family with her luggage, causing the days to immediately become much quieter.

“Yunxi, I came to see you for something else today.” Xia Luobing picked up the file on the table and said in a low voice, “It’s about the accident. Do you still remember it?”

Huo Yunxi was stunned for a moment. He scratched his hair and thought for a moment before saying, “At that time, I was able to dodge a car that was traveling in the opposite direction. That was why I hit the green belt with the steering wheel.”

Although he had recovered from his illness, Huo Yunxi still felt a lingering fear in his heart when he recalled what had happened that day.

“Sister-in-law, is there a problem?” Huo Yunxi leaned over to Xia Luobing’s side with a puzzled expression. “Did you catch the driver?”

Charlotte nodded and looked at Huo Yunxi silently for a moment. “According to the driver who was driving in the opposite direction, he did it on purpose.”

“On purpose?” Huo Yunxi’s eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly, “How could that be? I didn’t have any enmity with anyone!”

This was a car accident, and one careless accident would cost him his life!

“I suspect it’s Ji Wei.” Xia Luobing said in a low voice, “On the night of your accident, her account had money transferred out, and she made a strange phone call.”

Ever since the accident in Tao Zui, she hadn’t given up on monitoring Ji Wei. Later, she accidentally discovered that Ji Wei had two mobile phones, one of which was not commonly used and would occasionally dial a short number. The technicians tracked it down and found that it was a network number, so they couldn’t confirm it further.

“Ji Wei?” Huo Yunxi was shocked, “Why would she want to deal with me? Even if she really wants to scheme, I think she should scheme against you!”

Sensing Xia Luobing’s murderous gaze, Huo Yunxi stuck out his tongue and flattered him, “I’m joking!”

Xia Luobing lightly hit Huo Yunqi and fell into deep thought. So far, she had not found Ji Wei’s motive for committing the crime. However, there was one thing that was certain. This woman was definitely not just an affectation. There must be something else behind her that she had not found out.

“By the way, sister-in-law, Ji Wei was in a car accident a while ago. She’s limping on her right foot.” Huo Yunxi said with a dark face, “Furthermore, it was for the sake of saving big brother, making big brother feel very guilty towards her. She also took the opportunity to stick to big brother. How annoying!”

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, “A car accident?”

Huo Yunxi nodded, “That’s right, it’s right at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel. I can’t figure out the specifics. It’s just annoying anyway.”

Four Seasons Hotel?

Someone called the police and sold drugs. Then she found out that Huo Yunqi and Ji Wei were in the same situation.

Everything was like a shocking plot. Charlotte felt as if an invisible black hand was controlling all of this behind her back. However, no matter how deep she thought about it, she couldn’t give any evidence.

“Yunxi, help me do one thing.” Xia Luobing frowned and whispered a few words into Huo Yunxi’s ear. Then, with a serious expression, she said, “Do you remember?”

Huo Yunxi nodded his head forcefully, “Sister-in-law, if Ji Wei really did all the things that intoxicated me, then this woman would be too terrifying!”

“Do what I told you first.” Xia Luobing said in a deep voice, “There’s nothing else to worry about.”

Huo Yunxi nodded forcefully, “Alright, I promise to complete the mission!”

After leaving Xia Luobing’s new residence, Huo Yunxi went straight back to the old house. Seeing Liu Yan sitting in the living room, she smiled and said, “Mom, where’s Ji Wei?”

“Room upstairs.” Liu Yan said unhappily.

Huo Yunqi firmly refused to let Ji Wei move out of the Huo Clan, causing Liu Yan to be in a bad mood all day long.

“Yunxi, how’s your relationship with Ye Haoran going?” Huo Zhengxiong came out of the study and looked at Huo Yunxi with concern. “We’ll sit down and have a meal sometime.”

He was quite satisfied with Ye Haoran and wanted to settle the matter between the two of them as soon as possible.

Huo Yunxi’s heart tightened as he nodded awkwardly at the two people who were staring at him.

Recently, her relationship with Ye Shaochen had grown by leaps and bounds, and she had actually completely forgotten about Ye Haoran’s affairs. Now that she heard them mention it, she immediately felt that it was better to settle some matters as soon as possible.

“You child …”

No matter what Huo Zhengxiong said later, Huo Yunxi directly went upstairs and pushed open Ji Wei’s room door to stare at the pitiful woman sitting on the bed. His heart was filled with disgust and he said unhappily, “Do you think you can blame Big Brother for this? Ji Wei, I think you should leave quickly if you still have some self-knowledge!”

“Yunxi, I…” Ji Wei bit her lips. “I’m leaving. I pray that he won’t let me go. He said…”

“Come on!” Huo Yunxi looked at the jewelry box on Ji Wei’s table with disdain. “I forgot to tell you something. I’m dating Ye Shaochen now. Don’t call Ye Shaochen again in the future, or I will definitely not let you off!”

Ji Wei’s face turned pale and she hurriedly said, “Definitely not! Ye Shaochen and I are fine … It’s great that you two are together!”

“You’re smart.” Huo Yunxi looked at Ji Wei disdainfully and left arrogantly. He quickly went back to his room and called Xia Luobing, “Sister-in-law, everything is settled!”

Charlotte nodded her head. “Okay, I got it.”

She asked Huo Yunxi to find an opportunity to bug Ji Wei’s room, wanting to confirm who this Ji Wei was contacting.

After arranging this, Xia Luobing heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the night sky and was slightly distracted. A week had passed since she sent Huo Yunqi a text message asking for a divorce. However, that text message seemed to have sunk into the sea. Huo Yunqi did not respond in the slightest.

“What exactly is Huo Yunqi thinking?” Xia Luobing frowned and felt inexplicably annoyed.

Huo Yunqi pinched her forehead irritably as if she had a telepathic feeling. She held onto her phone with a serious expression.

Divorce?

These days, he had not contacted Xia Luobing on his own initiative because he did not know what to say and was worried that the stubborn woman would really insist on getting a divorce.

He had spent so much effort to keep her by his side, how could he let her go?

Moreover, he had already decided to stay with her for the rest of his life, so why would he agree to a divorce?

Huo Yunqi threw his phone back on the table and self-mockingly pulled the corner of his mouth. He didn’t expect that Huo Yunqi would choose to escape one day.

Ever since he met Xia Luobing, he was a little unlike himself.

“Knock!”

Hearing the knock on the door, Huo Yunqi regained his senses and said in a deep voice, “Come in!”

Charlotte smiled at Huo Yunqi with a stack of documents in her arms. “Brother-in-law, you’re already off work.”

“Why are you here?” Huo Yunqi looked at the time and was somewhat surprised.

Xia Luobing shrugged helplessly, “Xia Clan and Huo Clan’s cooperation project has officially started. Today, we have worked out a short-term plan with your side’s project manager.”

Huo Yunqi nodded and looked at Charlotte.

“Nothing.” Charlotte blinked her eyes and said, “I was about to leave, but I came over to take a look when I saw the lights on in your office.”

The truth was that she didn’t want to give up any chance to get close to Huo Yunqi.

No matter what method she used, she would definitely let him know that the person who had always accompanied him was her, and only she loved him wholeheartedly!

Even if he had played a little trick on him now, it was for the sake of the future of the two of them.

“Brother-in-law, are you really going to marry Miss Ji Wei?” Xia Luoxin hesitated for a moment and asked softly, “Big sister is very unhappy.”

Huo Yunqi was stunned for a moment and said with a serious expression, “I married Ji Wei? Who said that?”

He just wanted to take care of Ji Wei, but he never thought of using his marriage as a price.

“It’s good that it’s not!” Charlotte patted her chest nervously and let out a long breath. “I was originally worried about my sister.”

Huo Yunqi tapped the table with her slender fingers and got up. “Let’s go. I’ll take you home and pick up Ice Bing.”

It turned out that Bing Bing thought that she wanted to marry Ji Wei before she filed for divorce. Was this proof that she cared about him?

The snow on Huo Yunqi’s face melted for a moment, and he stood up and picked up his coat to leave.

“Big sister doesn’t live at home anymore!” Huo Yunxi’s eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment. “Brother-in-law, isn’t elder sister home yet?”

Huo Yunqi’s expression changed as he coldly said, “What did you say?”

During this period of time, he had always thought that Xia Luobing lived in the Xia Clan and wanted to give them more space, but he didn’t know that he had long since left home.

Ignoring Xia Luoxin, Huo Yunqi hurriedly left the office. The wind from her clothes swept across Charlotte’s face.

“One day, you will only worry about me. One day!” Xia Luoxin gritted her teeth.

Huo Yunqi immediately found Huo Yunxi and grabbed him into the car. “Where does Ice Ice live?” He said in a low voice.

“I, I don’t know” Huo Yunxi didn’t say anything, but he was shocked by Huo Yunqi’s cold gaze. He licked his lips and said sullenly, “608, Unit 3, Building A, Jinxiu District, Bauhinia Road.”
