Chapter 169 A Man Who Is away from Home
Ye Xi tiptoed as he struggled. He was too tall.
Huo Yaoting considerately wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up so that her feet could step on his fine leather shoes.
"Ugh ?" Ye Xi felt that the two\'s momentum was off track. After all, Minlang was still standing outside.
He could not help but push him a little: "Hubby, Minlang ?"
"Yes." Huo Yaoting agreed, but kept on pestering her.
Ye Xi glanced at Ye Minlang who was on the balcony uneasily, and became absent-minded.
Huo Yaoting also noticed her presence and released her. His eyes darkened as his fingers gently caressed the corner of her lips.
Ye Xi got down from the bed, and held onto the finger he used to caress the corner of her lips. With her bright and clear eyes, she looked at him emotionally, "Hubby, when did you prepare this?"
"Tell me, second day of Ye Minlang\'s hospitalization." Huo Yaoting looked at her dotingly, his eyes filled with love.
Ye Xi felt warm in her heart, she looked at him sweetly and said, "Hubby, you\'re so nice."
"Only to you!" Huo Yaoting was not stingy in his love for her.
Ye Xi was embarrassed, she grabbed his arm and looked around the room.
"Hubby, how much is the rent?" Ye Xi looked and asked.
Rent?
Huo Yaoting\'s eyebrows twitched, and he covered his lips to fudge a cough, "This house belongs to a friend of mine, he went abroad, and the house is empty, upon hearing that I wanted to find a house, he temporarily lent it out."
Friend?
Ye Xi was stu
ed, "Hubby, what friend is so good?"
"Mm ?" Huo Yaoting frowned, "To be small."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh." That makes sense.
"Hubby, your friend is so nice!"
Ye Xi did not pretentiously suggest for his friend to rent something.
The two of them had grown up, so their relationship must have been exceptionally good.
If the other party was Gu Li, she would also not be courteous to her!
Of course, there was no need for Gu Li to be courteous to her when looking for her.
"Just now you said \'husband is good\', now you say \'husband\'s friend is good\'?" Huo Yaoting glanced at her.
"Ugh ?"
Ye Xi rubbed his nose, "Then I feel so because I\'m your friend."
Huo Yaoting raised his eyebrows, "If this is okay, then let me tell you, before my friend left the country, he hired a servant and signed a contract for a year. My friend left the country two months after the agreement was signed. "
"So in the next few months, you don\'t have to worry about Minlang and Ye Wu\'s daily lives. Furthermore, my friend has already paid the family servant a year\'s salary and the expenses for daily living in the apartment, so I do not need to give the family servant to pay Ye Wu\'s and Minlang\'s living expenses. "
Ye Xi was shocked when she heard it, and a question mark popped up on her little head.
He looked at Huo Yaoting in shock, "Hubby, is your friend a tycoon?"
She understood the one-year agreement with the domestic staff.
But wouldn\'t a year\'s wages and living expenses be too hasty?
Aren\'t you afraid that the servant will take the money and run away?
Riche?
Huo Yaoting smirked, "He\'s not bad, he\'s rich!"
"?" Ye Xi couldn\'t help but roll his eyes, he looked at him seriously: "Hubby, tell me the truth, is there a problem with your friend\'s place?"
Ye Xi pointed to his head.
She had lived for twenty years because she had paid a year\'s wages and living expenses to the servants.
The key point was that it wasn\'t scientific!
Three black lines appeared on Huo Yaoting\'s forehead, "He\'s not stupid. On the contrary, his IQ is as high as 180."
With an IQ of 180, how could he do such a thing?
Ye Xi was extremely suspicious!
Seeing her disbelief, Huo Yaoting said, "He was just too busy, so he forgot to pay the family servant salary. That\'s why he paid all of them for one year. Of course, the servant that he found naturally has to have a proper and proper character. "
After saying that, he pinched her nose hatefully.
Although Ye Xi was still confused, he did not ask any further.
After all, he was his friend. He definitely didn\'t want to hear her say that his friend\'s IQ was too high.
"This is the second floor, and every window has green lawns. There is no danger. Furthermore, every apartment had a good soundproofing, so there was no need to worry about Ye Minlang getting involved. The servants will appear punctually every morning, midway through every night to prepare Minlang\'s meals. They will not starve him to death. " Huo Yaoting caressed Ye Xi\'s long hair lovingly and said.
As Ye Xi listened, he felt that all of this was actually part of his careful arrangements.
Lightly pursing his lips, Ye Xi stood in front of him and raised her pure and soft eyes to stare at him.
Huo Yaoting narrowed his eyes and scratched her nose, "Did you turn stupid?"
Ye Xi grabbed his shirt, "Hubby, you were actually lying to me, all of this was arranged by you right?"
Huo Yaoting\'s eyes became deep, staring straight at her bright big eyes, then she smiled: "Your husband, I, am just a small employee in a company, renting a house and hiring domestic servants, your husband, I, too, am feeling pressured."
Ye Xi blinked his eyes.
"Hubby, your friend did us a huge favor. When your friend returns, we\'ll treat him to a meal." Ye Xi said with a relieved smile.
Huo Yaoting lightly covered her eyes, "Okay."
After settling Minlang down, Huo Yaoting went to the company and Ye Xi returned back to school.
When they arrived at the dorm, Gu Li, that greedy little cat, circled around her. Seeing that she didn\'t have the soup she wanted to drink, she pouted.
Ye Xi smirked, "Aren\'t I afraid that you\'ll be tired of drinking?"
"Tch!" Gu Li rolled his eyes, walked to his seat and placed a large, wrapped, and exquisite gift box into her arms, "Here, your gift box."
A gift box?
Ye Xi was slightly startled, "What\'s the situation?"
"This morning, the courier was delivered directly to the entrance of the bedroom." Gu Li said.
"Huh?" Ye Xi was completely flabbergasted.
"Maybe it was given to you by a mysterious lover." Gu Li winked at her, "After all, you are our school\'s\' C \'goddess!"
Goddess?
Ye Xi perspired and accepted the gift box. He walked over to the table and placed the gift box on it, but he did not immediately open it. He bit his nails and asked Gu Li who was pretending to be indifferent but in reality, he was extremely curious, "Shed, do you think that the gift box contains some strange things?"
"What\'s this weird thing?" Gu Li chuckled, "Are you talking about a terrifying cloth doll that\'s smeared with chicken blood, or a part of the human body that has broken bones or limbs?"
Ye Xi\'s hair stood on end as she spoke, she grabbed her hand and said, "Go."
"What if it\'s a bomb? Wouldn\'t I be blown away?" Gu Li glared at her. This heartless thing, he would just open it for her the moment he heard that it was something terrifying.
Ye Xi asked in confusion, "If it was a bomb, would I still be able to stay where I am after you flew away?"
If it really was a bomb, they would have flown together!
Gu Li was startled, it seemed to be the truth.
"Then I really opened it?" Gu Li stretched out his hand and asked Ye Xi.
Ye Xi nodded in gratitude.
Hiding behind her.
Gu Li was so speechless that he couldn\'t even be bothered to roll his eyes. He quickly untied the pink ribbon that was wrapped around the box and opened the box with a flick of his finger.
When he saw the contents of the box, Gu Li\'s eyes lit up, "So beautiful!"
"?" The moment she opened the box, Ye Xi shut his eyes tightly.
Hearing her exclamation, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes once more. Knowing that it wasn\'t anything scary, he tilted his head forward.
Compared to Gu Li who was a little reserved, when Ye Xi saw the item inside the box, he only opened his mouth in shock.
Inside the gift box was a folded nude dress. Although it was folded, the V-neck collar design was already breathtaking.
After taking a light breath, Ye Xi walked forward, took out a set of clothes from the box and opened them.
Suddenly, a panoramic view of the evening dress appeared before their eyes.
Gu Li\'s eyes sparkled, "So beautiful!"
Dress to the ankle, naked silk, smooth lines, bold exposed back, deep V waist.
It was not a very complicated style of dress. On the contrary, the style of the dress was very simple, but it was grand enough. One glance was enough to tell that it was a high-quality item.
Ye Xi also thought that it was very pretty and endured the shock in her heart. She passed the gown over to Gu Li and walked over to the table.
Ye Xi exhaled, then took out the gift box and placed it on the other side of the table, carefully opening it.
But when he saw the contents of the box, Ye Xi could not help but take a deep breath.
The item in this gift box was a pair of crystal shoes. They were narrow, with exposed feet and pointed heels. The shoes were about seven to eight centimeters tall.
Ye Xi couldn\'t find any words to describe how beautiful the shoes were. It could only be said that they were very, very exquisite!
"Heavens, tsk tsk, Ye Xi, you\'re too lucky!" Gu Li stared at the shoes, covering his eyes, "These two are about to blind me, alright?"
Ye Xi saw a card in the gift box.
Her eyebrows twitched. She quickly picked it up and flipped it open.
A row of small words could be seen dancing in the air: "The day of Grandpa\'s birthday, I\'ll look at it!" If I see you wearing anything else, I\'ll strip it off on the spot!
Behind this plan, there were two rows of ferocious wolf teeth drawn on top of it!
Ye Xi\'s hand that was holding onto the card was shaking non-stop.
His little face twitched again and again. He was so angry!
Why does this Overlord Qiao care what she wears?!
He grabbed the shoe and was about to throw it into the box.
But thinking of how expensive shoes were, he was afraid that he wouldn\'t be able to afford it even if he broke it. Endure it!
Ye Xi scratched his head in frustration. He no longer had the interest to look at his pretty clothes and shoes.
Seeing her so angry, Gu Li was startled, she placed the gown inside the box and leaned on the side of the table, asking, "What?"
Ye Xi looked at her and shook his head.
Gu Li frowned, "Ye Xi, what\'s going on?"
Ye Xi sighed, "It\'s a long story."
It was not that Ye Xi wanted to hide it from Gu Li, but Gu Li and the Overlord Qiao did not know each other and had not mentioned it.
"Your acting is really deep!" Gu Li snorted, and did not continue the line of questioning.
Ye Zichen turned around and touched his evening gown, but didn\'t say anything for a long time.
Ye Xi looked at her strangely, "Who\'s pretending to be deep?"
Gu Li covered her long eyelashes, then looked at her and said, "Xiao Xi, I will be leaving B City next month after I finish attending my graduation thesis."
"?" Ye Xi stared at her, the news was too sudden, she did not know how to react.
Gu Li frowned in a
oyance, and rubbed his stomach, "Your child has already been here for almost three months, and is about to be exposed.
"No, no, where are you going?" Ye Xi seemed to have finally realised it and stood up anxiously, looking at her and asked.
"Previously, the school organized itself to voluntarily participate in teaching activities in remote areas. I\'ve registered." Gu Li shrugged and said.
Teaching in remote areas?
"Shed, it\'s not that I don\'t agree for you to join the school, but, but now it\'s different. You\'re pregnant with a child, so you left home alone without anyone to accompany you.
"Xiao Xi, why are you even more agitated than me?" Gu Li looked at Ye Xi\'s restless look and laughed heartlessly.
Ye Xi was so angry by her nonchalant attitude that he cried, pursing his lips and staring at her without saying a word.
Seeing that, Gu Li rubbed his nose: "Actually I had already thought about it, and my old man has already agreed."
After pausing for a while, Gu Li held Ye Xi\'s hand, "Xiao Xi, you know my father? If he knew that his fiance pregnant and broke my legs, and that the child would grow up everyday, I would be afraid of death."
Ye Xi frowned, "Then why did you need to go so far?"
