About this ebook

Married? Ok, she did, but what does it mean to be framed? She was at the end of her rope! He had to save up enough money to divorce this man who lacked elegance!

Since then, her life had been a mess, especially when she met the man who had ruined her innocence and wanted to humiliate her with money.

Domineering, unreasonable, threatening, these things were unbearable. When he used them on her, there was nowhere for her to escape. She could only compromise and be eaten alive.

Was it really the enemy's fault? Or was it predestined?

    CHAPTER 201 - FAIL TO AVOID

    In order to help everyone identify the cunning Huo Tao in the crowd and understand him completely at 360 degrees, Qin Xue had also made PPT based on Huo Tao's family background, growing up, as well as his recent style of dressing, the car's brand, and the status of distribution, which was displayed on the projection for everyone to see.

    Most of the employees here had never seen Taoist Huo Tao before. When they saw the Huo Tao who was rumored to have angered Qin Xue into hospital, they became infatuated with him.

    He's so handsome, his family background is also great. I'm glad that such a person is chasing after me, but why is it that Sister Qin Xue can't avoid him like she's avoiding the god of pests?

    Shh, lower your voice. How can our Sister Qin Xue compare to us ordinary people? She should like that steady, deep, successful man.

    No matter what, this Huo Tao looks really good. Just by looking at his looks, he's countless times better than those celebrities who rely on his looks to earn a living. Not to mention that he has such a powerful family backing him!

    Then I'll pray that he doesn't tempt me with his charm, or else I'm afraid I might lose control and let him in quietly.

    When Qin Xue saw Huo Tao's photo, her face alternated between green and white.

    The big projection's light clearly fell on Qin Xue's face. She felt that Huo Tao's harmless smile was like a provocation towards her. No matter how she looked at it, she had the impulse to slap him!

    You must firmly remember this man in your heart. When you see him in the future, no matter what method he uses, you must not allow him to step half a step into our company! Do you understand? Qin Xue forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart. Even the fist she was clenching at her side couldn't help but tremble slightly.

    This infuriated her to death! How could that Huo Tao dare to provoke her?!

    Look, that rich man is here. Let's go watch.

    He's even more handsome than he was in the photo. If Sister Qin Xue doesn't want him, she can give him to me. I'll definitely treat him like my grandfather.

    Aiya, if I could catch up to him, I would be willing to be his ancestor!

    A dozen female employees surrounded Huo Tao in a chorus. They wanted to see what kind of earth-shattering action he was going to take this time.

    Huo Tao was already used to people paying attention to him like this. He naturally didn't notice that everyone stopped to watch him with the intention of enjoying the show.

    After straightening his tie, Huo Tao raised his chin lazily and strode into the building.

    I'm sorry, sir, but you can't go in. Suddenly, a young man stepped forward and stopped Huo Tao. He stretched out his arm and blocked Huo Tao's path like a road block.

    Hmm? Huo Tao frowned slightly. He didn't seem to understand the meaning behind the security guard's words. It had to be said that he went in and out of the building as he wished. No one would stop him at all.

    Are you new here? Huo Tao asked.

    The other meaning of his words was that Yours Truly was always free to enter and exit this place, and no one would ever stop him.

    Sir, recently the company has made a rule that people who are not members of the company are not allowed to go in or out as they please. You can go in if you want, but you have to show your work card, or your company leader's consent letter. the young man said seriously.

    But when the youngster glanced at his colleague who was watching the show, a look of helplessness quickly flashed across his eyes. What bad luck. He had only been at work for a few days, but he had already encountered such a troublesome situation.

    What rule? Even I can't go in? Do you know who I am? " Huo Tao raised his eyebrows in disbelief. He was already a legendary figure in the city, yet he actually dared to obstruct his path. He truly had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!

    Of course I know who you are. It's because I know who you are that I can't let you in!

    The guard cursed in his heart with a righteous face. He didn't back down at all.

    Huo Tao choked on the security guard's words, not knowing what to say. He looked at the security guard's work card in annoyance, Tell your company's leader to come out. Let me see if they let me in!

    Sorry, the Leader has already left for work. The security guard said solemnly.

    What? Did you get off work so early?

    Huo Tao frowned. What about Qin Xue?

    He left too.

    Huo Tao was stunned. It took him two seconds to realize what he had missed.

    He pursed his lips, looking at the security guard in disappointment. You should have said so earlier. What a waste of time!

    After saying that, Huo Tao pulled on his clothes, turned around, and ran towards Bentley like a wisp of smoke. He hoped that he could find Qin Xue before she arrived at the venue. That way, he could let her walk into the venue with his arm in hers.

    His buddies were all waiting to see their future sister-in-law!

    As for the Chen Family Hotel, due to Chen Hao's pressure, although the purchasing department's manager had received benefits, he didn't dare to go overboard. He finally ordered and brought fresh vegetables to the kitchen.

    The problem of the ingredients was solved, but the burden on Xia Xiaomin was not relieved.

    Due to the increasing envy and dissatisfaction of the staff towards Xia Xiaomin, the atmosphere in the kitchen became lazier and lazier. As long as Xia Xiaomin started cooking, everyone would find an excuse to reject her offer. No one would go up to help her, isolating her.

    When things got out of hand, the employees would go to the lounge to take a rest and leave all the tasks to Xia Xiaomin.

    After work in the afternoon, Xia Xiaomin finally couldn't take it anymore. After she cleaned up the mess everyone left behind, she arrived at Chen Hao's office.

    She noticed a faint light shining through the crack of the door, and knew that Chen Hao hadn't left yet. She pulled the wrinkles on her clothes and knocked on the office door.

    Dong, dong, dong!

    The mahogany door let out a dull sound, and soon, Chen Hao's calm voice came from inside, Come in.

    Xia Xiaomin carefully opened the door. Perhaps it was because she was nervous every time she went to Zhong Luozheng's office, but her heart was beating fast.

    Brother Hao. Xia Xiaomin stuck her head out and quietly interrupted Chen Hao, who was working at the office.

    Xiao Min? Chen Hao was surprised for a moment. He then quickly stood up and walked in front of Xia Xiaomin, unable to hide his excitement, Why are you here? Don't tell me you want to invite me to dinner?"

    No, Brother Hao, I have something to talk to you about. Xia Xiaomin grinned awkwardly.

    What is it? Was it the matter with the purchasing department again? Hadn't he already talked to the person in charge there? Even though he had said those words in a tactful manner, the other party should have been able to hear his words and give him some face.

    Thinking of this, Chen Hao's face couldn't help but sink.

    He was a little worried that Xia Xiaomin would come because of this matter. After all, he couldn't afford to offend the backer of the purchasing department, but he didn't want her to think he was incapable.

    It's about the efficiency of the staff in the kitchen. Hao-ge, I don't know about the working atmosphere of the kitchen before I came here, but I think that in a large scale and high quality hotel like Chen's Hotel, the employees in it should be very serious about their work. But as I've been getting along with my colleagues in the kitchen lately, I've discovered that things aren't as I thought … Xia Xiaomin paused, hesitating to speak. She raised her shiny black eyes and looked at Chen Hao, waiting for a response.

    Chen Hao lowered his eyelids. With a serious expression, he looked at Xia Xiaomin, You mean to say, they aren't working properly?

    As far as Chen Hao was concerned, although he would usually greet his employees with a smile, his actions would become exceptionally strict when it came to the company's interests.

    However, he concealed his feelings well. His strange mood didn't attract Xia Xiaomin's attention.

    Xia Xiaomin nodded. I don't know if it was because everyone was against me that they neglected to work.

    A trace of desolation flashed across Xia Xiaomin's eyes. She recalled the time when she resigned from the Howell Hotel. The colleagues there had also avoided her, but now she was met with the same situation.

    She couldn't figure out what was wrong that made people reject her so much.

    Sensing Xia Xiaomin's escaping attitude, Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat. Originally, when Xia Xiaomin was at the orphanage, she treated Chen Hao as her older brother, so she wouldn't reject such an intimate action from him. However, this time …

    Chen Hao's heart suddenly felt empty. He could faintly feel that Xia Xiaomin was drawing a clear line between them.

    It's time for me to get off work too. Let's go have a meal together. Chen Hao changed the topic, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

    Xia Xiaomin shook her head. No, Brother Hao. I'll just go home and eat.

    After saying that, Xia Xiao Min didn't wait for Chen Hao's reply and hurriedly left Chen Hao's office.

    Because she had known Chen Hao since she was young, Xiao Xiaomin understood that if Chen Hao spoke a few more words with her, she would feel embarrassed to refuse and agree to have dinner with him.

    Xia Xiao Min walked towards the parking lot with firm steps. She secretly apologized to Chen Hao in her heart.

    On the other side of the corridor, An Shuishui walked out of the bathroom. She happened to see Xia Xiaomin walking out of an office.

    Xia Xiaomin? An Shuishui was surprised. What was she doing here?

    The sound of the door closing interrupted An Shuishui's curiosity. She turned to look and saw another person walking out from behind the door where Xia Xiaomin had just left.

    That person was none other than the Chen Hao that she yearned for day and night.

    Director Chen?

    It was only then that she noticed that this floor was where Chen Hao's office was located.

    Chen Hao tidied up his clothes. Xia Xiaomin's attitude was firm, and he knew that if he asked him to stay any longer, he would get annoyed by her. Thus, he didn't catch up with her and instead walked towards the elevator on the other side.

    CHAPTER 202 - SECRET SECRET

    When An Shuishui saw this coincidence, her mind was immediately blown. She was sure that there must be some unspeakable secret between Xia Xiaomin and Chen Hao.

    It was no wonder that Director Chen, who had never come to the kitchen before, would come to the kitchen twice during Xia Xiaomin's first visit.

    So it turned out that she had an affair with him!

    An Shuishui continued to daydream while her eyes were wide open. She bit the corner of her lips and scolded herself, Xia Xiaomin! Chen is always mine, you are not allowed to fight with me for it!"

    ...

    The moment Huo Tao left Qin Xue's company, she walked out of the company's main entrance with a black saddle-shaped bag in her hand and grey sheepskin boots on her feet. She looked like a descending goddess.

    Thank you for what you did just now. Qin Xue walked up to the security guard and politely smiled at him.

    The smile was like the gentle breeze of spring in March. It brushed against the little guard's dark face and melted into his heart.

    No need, this is my responsibility. The security guard grinned at Qin Xue.

    He had thought that it was unfortunate that Huo Tao had come looking for trouble when he had just arrived at work a few days ago.

    But at this moment, when he saw the entire company, everyone worshipped the number one design sister, standing in front of him to thank him, smiling at him, his face was like a kettle placed on a gas stove, it was about to explode from the heat.

    Yes, continue.

    With that, Qin Xue walked to the parking lot, found her car, and drove away.

    As for Huo Tao, who was frantically driving on the main road, he didn't know that Qin Xue didn't intend to go to tonight's banquet at all.

    Beep! Beep! Beep!

    Huo Tao frantically pressed the horn on the car. He stared at the long line of cars in front of him and felt a sense of loneliness.

    Please, I'm in a hurry. Do any of you know what happened? Huo Tao opened the car window, stuck his head out and shouted to the chauffeurs who had rolled down the windows to smoke.

    I don't know. I heard it was a car accident.

    It's not an accident. It seems like the road ahead collapsed.

    No, no, no. I heard from a guy in front who's blocking our way that there's a couple fighting on the street …

    Huo Tao frowned. What was this all about? The rumours about everyone talking had made him even more agitated.

    He looked at the golden watch on his wrist and felt bitter in his heart, It's over, it's all over. I think Qin Xue has already arrived at the venue … I'm not going to let her take my arm. "

    It was as if a beautiful picture had been forcibly torn apart in his mind. The stunning scene of Qin Xue stepping into the arena with him had suddenly become a dream come true for him.

    Huo Tao frowned and mumbled impatiently a few times. Even after venting, he was still unable to change the congestion. He could only wait for the traffic to get better.

    At 11 PM, the congested road finally showed signs of loosening.

    At that moment, Huo Tao was already drowsy. Only when he heard someone honking the horn behind him did he wake up from his drowsy sleep.

    It's already so late. When Huo Tao opened his eyes, he saw the cars moving in an orderly manner. The hazy look in his eyes was instantly replaced by his spirit.

    However, at the next moment, Huo Tao realized that something was wrong. He looked at the time on his watch. It was already 11 PM, so the banquet had already ended.

    The light in Huo Tao's bright eyes dimmed once again. He had originally thought that he would be happy if he could not let Qin Xue hold his arm and walk past everyone. He only needed to go to the banquet to take a look at Qin Xue.

    But now, it seemed that all his fantasies had been for naught.

    Huo Tao had no choice but to step on the accelerator and head towards the bar that he frequented, ROSE bar.

    On the other side of the city, in the villa complex, Zhong Luozheng was feeling awkward since the last time Xia Xiaomin drove him away.

    He paced back and forth in the study. Finally, Zhong Luozhan grabbed his jacket, walked to the parking lot, and dialed Huo Tao's number.

    Hello, Huo Tao. We'll meet again at our usual place.

    At midnight, the ROSE bar was the peak for the guests. The bright pink neon lights flickered continuously, as if it was a Gu magic that could lose the minds of people. The faces of men and women that came and went were especially alluring.

    A few heavily made-up women were standing by the side of the road in groups of twos and threes. They glanced at the single men with eyes filled with spring water. Their goal was to find a few wealthy people to buy them a drink and help them pay for their drinks.

    With a swoosh, a white limitless Bentley was parked in the VIP area of the ROSE Bar entrance.

    Huo Tao straightened his clothes and then got out of the car. He looked a hundred times more energetic and radiant than anyone else, perhaps because he had just slept.

    He appeared like a star in the dark, immediately becoming everyone's focus, especially those girls in short skirts and shorts. They had all cast their gazes at Huo Tao's car the moment they saw it.

    When they saw the male model that got out of the car, those girls' eyes were like glue that was glued to Huo Tao's body, unable to be removed.

    Hey, how was it? He looks pretty rich."

    This is my dish, don't fight with me for it.

    Forget it, we still don't know who's going to die or who's going to die. We sisters have to rely on our abilities to eat, right?

    Fine, then let's see who has the most charisma. Don't you think you're the prettiest one to be with him? Let's see who the handsome guy will choose later!

    Three or four girls, who were wearing fashionable clothes, started to chirp non-stop when they saw Huo Tao.

    Two of the girls even took out their cosmetics and quickly made up their makeup. It made their already scary faces even more frightening.

    Huo Tao locked the car and stood still. He didn't notice the girls, but rather looked around to see if Zhong Luozhuang had arrived before him.

    After seeing that there was no car with Zhong Luozheng in it, Huo Tao decided to wait for him in the cold. After all, there was no point in drinking by himself first.

    As he looked, a trace of a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Huo Tao's calm face.

    Hey handsome brother, are you alone?

    Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded in front of Huo Tao.

    Huo Tao, who was still immersed in his own world, was pulled back from his thoughts. He raised his indifferent gaze. When his pitch-black eyes saw the three or four girls in front of him, his pupils suddenly constricted.

    His tall and big body almost lost its balance. He was so frightened that he took a step back.

    These girls painted their faces... Too... Shocking the world.

    The girls in front of him were all wearing pale faces painted with poor quality foundation powder. Under the pale light of the street lamps, their faces shone with a distinct glow. Their heavy eyelashes, black smoky makeup, and bright red mouths … Then there was the tight-fitting stockings from the wholesale market, the knickers, the misshapen skirts, blouses, etc. They all looked like thrillers to Huo Tao's eyes.

    Although Huo Tao's expression didn't change, his heart trembled a little from the girls' exaggerated dressing and the confidence in their eyes.

    Handsome, what's wrong? Was she shocked by my beauty? One of the women in the pink dress blinked her eyes. She mistook Huo Tao's stupefied expression for confirmation of her appearance and dressing.

    The woman became even happier as she wriggled her body and slithered towards Huo Tao like a small snake.

    Ugh … Indeed, I was shocked … Huo Tao smiled embarrassedly. He purposely avoided the word shock and dodged the arm that the woman was holding.

    Then Huo Tao straightened his clothes and walked quickly to the other side of the parking lot, as if he was afraid that he would be tainted by the women. As he walked, he smiled and said, My Boss Zhong, you're finally here!

    In the black sky, a black Maserati flashed with two bright headlights as it sped through the crowd. It then made a sharp turn and steadily parked in the VIP slot in the parking lot.

    This exclusive parking space was different from Huo Tao's. Not only was the parking space two times bigger than Huo Tao's, it was also surrounded by a small iron fence. It was as if the owner of the car was trying to draw a clear line between himself and Huo Tao.

    All of a sudden, the atmosphere in front of the lively ROSE bar seemed to have frozen over, and it became strangely quiet.

    Everyone was looking at him with amazement like that top grade luxury car. Those who knew better rubbed their eyes while secretly sighing in their hearts with their mouths wide open. There were probably only five cars available in this world …

    They were truly fortunate to be able to see it here!

    As for the three women who had been trying to seduce Huo Tao earlier, all of their attention were focused on the door the moment the car drove over.

    As if hunters were waiting for a wild beast to appear, they held their breath and waited for the patron to get off the carriage.

    Zhong Luochen put out the car's ignition, pulled out the key, and opened the car door. With a clean and smooth movement, he stepped out of the car without a trace of emotion on his face.

    Under the dim light of the night, Zhong Luozhan was wearing a well-cut black suit. His tall and straight body was outlined by the high-quality suit.

    The flickering neon light from the ROSE bar fell on Zhong Luozheng's face, covering his fair skin with a pinkish glow, but it only served to increase his sharp, stern, and resolute look. Her delicate lips were raised and her eyes were filled with cold stars, making Zhong Luozhan look as beautiful as a celestial being from afar.

    There was one type of person that was born with a peerless temperament, and Zhong Luozhuang was one of them. The moment he stepped out of the car, the light emitted from his body drowned everything in a thick layer of black.

    From that moment on, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

    Oh my god, he's so handsome, even more handsome than that handsome guy from before.

    But looking at him, I feel like I'm a few years younger.

    Shh, stop talking. He seems to be good friends with that handsome guy from before.

    CHAPTER 203 - IT'S THE SAME WITH YOU

    Just as the three or four girls were whispering to each other, Zhong Luozhuang had already taken a step forward and calmly walked in front of Huo Tao.

    Oh? Big Boss Zhong, it seems like you're not in a good mood today. Huo Tao leaned on a stone pillar at the side, smilingly staring at Zhong Luozhuang's cold and handsome face as he sized him up.

    Aren't you the same? Zhong Luozhan slanted his eyes at Huo Tao. Without saying anything, he walked around him and headed into the ROSE bar.

    Huo Tao's body, which was leaning against the stone pillar, stiffened slightly. He had already pretended to be happy in order to hide his disappointment. How could Zhong Luozheng tell that he wasn't happy?

    Shaking his head, Huo Tao sighed to himself, Zhong Luozhen is Zhong Luozhen. Nothing can escape his eyes.

    With that, Huo Tao straightened his body, took out his hands from his pockets, and walked towards Zhong Luozhan.

    When Zhong Luozhan and Huo Tao walked into the bar one after the other, the frozen crowd immediately began to move as if they had stopped their magic.

    Right now, their target was only one place. They would go to the ROSE bar and continue watching those two rich and handsome men!

    For a moment, the bar was surrounded by men and women.

    On the other hand, Huo Tao and Zhong Luozhan walked to a private elevator behind the bar and arrived at the VIP private room on the fifth floor.

    In the entire fifth floor, only this single room was left. This large room was both luxurious and high-end. The wine rack on this entire wall was filled with a limited amount of famous wines that had a long history.

    Huo Tao took a bottle with a precious blue bottle on it. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw the elegant decorative patterns on the bottle. Oh, not bad. There's a new product coming this time.

    As he spoke, Huo Tao opened the Royal Cannon in his hand and poured a cup of wine for himself and Zhong Luozhuang.

    The fragrance of the wine lingered in the air. As it passed by Huo Tao's nose, he nodded in satisfaction. It's a good item. Not bad, not bad at all. The boss here has become more and more knowledgeable about my taste.

    Zhong Luozhan shot Huo Tao a glance. The waves in his heart were not as easily dispersed as Huo Tao's. A mere bottle of wine was enough to distract Huo Tao's attention. He was no longer as upset as he was before.

    You're in a really good mood. Zhong Luozhan smirked as he looked at the wine cup that Huo Tao brought to him. He snorted in disdain, Aren't you unhappy as well? What happened?"

    He thought about Huo Tao's expression when he saw Huo Tao. Zhong Luozhan could tell that Huo Tao had something on his mind from the knuckles that Huo Tao was rubbing in his pocket.

    This tiny movement was something Huo Tao had been accustomed to doing for many years when he was troubled by something.

    Zhong Luozhan stared fixedly at Huo Tao. His green eyes seemed to pierce through Huo Tao's body and pierce into his heart.

    Huo Tao was a little flustered by Zhong Luozhan's scrutinizing gaze. He turned around awkwardly and pulled his collar, pretending to have everything. He looked at the bottle on the shelf and said, How could that be? I'm very happy. When have you ever seen me unhappy?

    Indeed, it's not much. However, if it's related to Qin Xue, then it's different. Zhong Luozheng calmly took a sip of wine. As soon as his long eyelashes drooped down, he quickly lifted them up. Then, he smiled as he saw the panic on Huo Tao's face.

    It really does have something to do with Qin Xue. Zhong Luochen added again, looking at Huo Tao's black eyes, as if saying to him, Brother, don't deny it. I know what you're thinking.

    Huo Tao almost vomited out the wine he just drank.

    He still had a fiancée to trouble him physically and mentally, but he was alone now.

    The scene of that day being pushed out of the apartment by Xia Xiaomin came back to Zhong Luochen's mind. He tightened his grip on the wine cup and wiped the calmness from his face. Raising his head, he gulped down all the contents in the cup.

    A new spicy taste quickly filled his throat, and a burning pain slowly spread to his eyes.

    Zhong Luozhuang slightly creased his brows and silently sucked in a breath of cold air.

    Huo Tao raised his eyebrows. He had witnessed the anger exploding around Zhong Luozheng.

    Crap, I said the wrong thing.

    Huo Tao tightened the corner of his lips and bit his tongue. After pouring himself a cup of wine, he walked over to Zhong Luozheng and filled the empty cup in front of him.

    What happened between you and Xiao Min's sister? Look at how you two are acting right now, it's a hundred times more masochistic than my company's huge mental abuse drama this year. "

    It wasn't heartbreaking. He had never seen Zhong Luozhuang who called out the wind and rain in the capital before. Why was he so upset and frustrated about this matter?

    Little sister Xiao Min, Little sister Xiao Min, you really have some skills.

    Huo Tao silently sighed in his heart. In the blink of an eye, he thought of Qin Xue, Hey, Qin Xue and I are also a big heartbreaker.

    Suddenly, he lowered his head and turned the wine cup in his hand. Looking at the sparkling liquid inside the cup, he slowly moved his head. The next moment, he sadly raised his head and drank all of the wine in the cup in one gulp.

    Didn't people say that one could forget the pain when one was drunk? Then let him be thoroughly drunk, at least so that he won't think of that elegant, calm smile from time to time.

    At least you'll get married, won't you? Zhong Luozheng laughed at himself. As for him, he had just gotten divorced.

    Who knows? If Qin Xue is unwilling, I can't force her either. This was the first time that Huo Tao had a difficult relationship with someone. As a former master of love, he could easily deal with any woman with his personal preferences. As long as he wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted with her.

    And Qin Xue was too different from those women … This time, Huo Tao was confused.

    Zhong Luozhan cast a sidelong glance at Huo Tao, who was sitting on the sofa beside him. Seeing Huo Tao's lonely expression, Zhong Luozhan suddenly stood up. He walked up to Huo Tao and patted his shoulder, saying, It's not the worst yet. Don't be sad yet. I think you're not used to it.

    I've already seen your smelly face for so many days, can't I be sad for a bit? Today, I, Huo Tao, will grieve happily for Qin Xue. Zhong Luozhan, don't stop me. Huo Tao turned his head away and poured himself another glass of wine.

    Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to give Zhong Luoyan face. It was just that when he thought about how Qin Xue had returned all the gifts he had sent to Qin Xue's office in the past week, he couldn't help but feel stifled in his heart.

    How could it be possible for him to return the things that this man gave him!?

    Zhong Luozhan's eyebrows trembled in displeasure. However, he didn't want to get angry at Huo Tao for drinking too much.

    If that's the case, then I'll drink with you. I won't leave unless I'm drunk!

    Zhong Luozhuang took the bottle from Huo Tao's hand and poured himself a cup as well. Then he walked back to the sofa in big strides and sat down again.

    Soon, it was two o'clock in the morning. Zhong Luozheng and Huo Tao were drinking more and more wine. The marble table in front of them was littered with empty bottles, and the fragrance of alcohol filled the entire room.

    At the same time, there was a confused babble between two overdrunk brothers.

    Luo Zhan, tell me, why is it that Qin Xue doesn't like me? What's wrong with me? I want my family to have my own family. I want appearances and appearances, and I like my women in piles. I can't be considered an unattractive person … Just now, at the entrance of the bar, there were a few girls who wanted to talk to me, but I ignored them all! Could it be that Qin Xue's eyes weren't good? I'm so charming, why can't she see me?

    He saw Huo Tao, who was lying on the sofa, knocking on the door with the bottle in one hand and the other in the other. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. His handsome face was suffused with a thick peach pink color. It seemed as if he was drunk to the point where he couldn't tell north from south.

    Zhong Luozhan glanced at Huo Tao coldly. Although he had drunk quite a bit and was a bit dizzy, Huo Tao's words had made him feel a lot more disgusted.

    Because you are too narcissistic. Zhong Luozheng said without giving him any face. Then, he added in his heart, This person drank too much, how can he praise himself like this?

    Mm … The next time I see Qin Xue, I should bring her to see an ophthalmologist. She definitely has bad eyes. "

    Huo Tao didn't hear Zhong Luozhan's words. At this moment, he was completely immersed in his own world and had activated his chatty mode.

    But it doesn't matter, even if she's blind and can't see anything, I would still like her. I don't have any shortcomings, but I'm too single-minded. The word 'end' is something I invented for me …"

    Luo Zhan, which hospital in our city do you think has the best ophthalmology practice? Why don't you introduce me to your doctor friend, Zhou Lin …"

    That's right, that's right. Zhou Lin, come and give me a call …

    As he said that, Huo Tao wobbled as he sat up. Then, with great difficulty, he walked to Zhong Luozheng on the soft ground. With a pa sound, he slapped his phone into Zhong Luozheng's palm.

    This slap was quite solid, and a burning pain immediately spread across Zhong Luozheng's palm.

    Zhong Luozhan was stunned for two seconds. He was wondering if Huo Tao was crazy, but the next moment, he smiled mischievously and said, Okay, I'll call Zhou Lin.

    Zhong Luozhan took Huo Tao's phone and quickly swiped his slender fingers across the screen. Soon, he found Qin Xue's phone number in Huo Tao's contact list. He smirked, stole a glance at Huo Tao, who was so drunk that he couldn't even stand up, and then dialed the number.

    Du, du, du ~ ~ ~

    After a series of rhythmic audio rings, a pleasant yet impatient female voice came from the other end of the phone, Hello?

    Hey …

    Hey! Doctor Lin, I'm Huo Tao, Zhong Luozhuang's friend. Zhong Luochen opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his phone was snatched away by Huo Tao.

    Doctor Lin, I have something I need to consult with you about. Right, I need to consult you face to face. I'll go look for you right now, just wait for me …

    CHAPTER 204 - A LONELY CITY WITHOUT DREAMS

    Huo Tao happily held his phone. He didn't listen to what the other party was saying and just continued to nag on his own. After saying his purpose, he quickly hung up the phone, then shouted thank you to Zhong Luozhan and ran out of the bar.

    Zhong Luozhan was stunned as he looked in the direction that Huo Tao had left. He couldn't react to what had just happened.

    He was obviously calling Qin Xue. Huo Tao ran out in a hurry, and his words were very clear … Who was he looking for now? Zhou Lin? Qin Xue?

    There was a sharp pain in his head, and Zhong Luozheng knew it was the alcohol. He shook his head in pain and decided not to think about it.

    After Huo Tao left, the VIP room became extremely empty.

    The deep green velvet curtains were not closed. Borrowing the bright orange light from the street lamps outside the window, Zhong Luozheng could faintly make out the outline of the city in the distance. It was as if the entire city was immersed in lava. Bright road lights paint the city as a lonely city with no dreams.

    Zhong Luochen leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes in exhaustion. Right now, he was very tired and in a very bad condition. His head felt like it was being filled with a ball of cotton that was being filled with water. It grew crazily and became extremely heavy. His consciousness was gradually filled with large patches of black …

    Initially, he could not see the girl's appearance clearly. However, she walked up to him and lightly pushed his shoulder. Her tightly knitted eyebrows revealed a strong sense of worry.

    Xia Xiaomin … Zhong Luozheng murmured softly as he opened his eyes, which were dyed black by alcohol.

    The blurry and chaotic scene before his eyes gradually disappeared. Zhong Luozhan stared at the exquisite decorative patterns carved on the top of the wall for a while. Five seconds later, his sorrowful expression froze for a moment before quickly dispersing.

    So it was a dream. Zhong Luozhuang laughed at himself, then sat up.

    At this moment, the clock on the wall had reached three.

    At three in the morning, Zhong Luozheng's drunk brain still hadn't woken up. He knocked on his temples and stood up.

    He did not want to stay alone in this cold and lonely room any longer. He wanted to go out and enjoy the wind until it would blow away the frustration in his heart.

    ...

    After Huo Tao ran out of the ROSE bar, he stopped a taxi at the side of the road and got in.

    Sir, where are you going? The taxi driver looked at the drunk Huo Tao in the rearview mirror and asked mechanically.

    He came here often to take jobs, so he was used to drunk men and women, and his mood didn't change much.

    Huo Tao squeezed the center of his brows. He was confused and didn't know what he was talking about. Go … Go... Just go to the Auland Villa District... Area D, 52... "

    After saying that, Huo Tao fell asleep in the taxi.

    The taxi driver didn't say anything more. He stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped off into the deep twilight.

    Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at the villa that Huo Tao had mentioned before he fell asleep.

    The driver looked at the tightly shut door of the mansion and started to understand Huo Tao's status. He realized that Huo Tao was a fuerdai, no wonder he had the time to get drunk all night long.

    After a moment of mockery, the driver turned around and called out to Huo Tao, Sir, we're here.

    Huo Tao didn't wake up. He was still deep in sleep.

    Sir? The driver tried to call out again, but his eyes were filled with displeasure when he looked at Huo Tao.

    The driver got out of the car and opened the door on Huo Tao's side. He patted Huo Tao's arm and said, Sir, your home is here.

    ... Hmm? This time, Huo Tao reacted. He woke up from his sleep and looked at the driver in confusion. He didn't seem to understand what was going on right now.

    The driver helplessly said, Sir, your family has arrived. The fare is seventy yuan.

    Home? Huo Tao squinted his eyes as he looked at the scenery outside the car. Something didn't seem right, but he couldn't tell what wasn't right.

    With weeds growing on his mind, Huo Tao didn't want to think about it too much. He got out of the car obediently, gave the driver a hundred yuan and said, No need to look for it.

    The taxi driver took the one hundred yuan bill and made a 180 degree change in attitude towards Huo Tao as if he had picked up a treasure. He smiled and said a few polite words to Huo Tao before quickly rolling up the window and driving away.

    He didn't want the Huo Tao family members to come out and ask him for more money if they found out that he had given them too much.

    After the taxi had left with its two books of cold yellow light, the whole villa complex once again sank into a silent darkness.

    My head hurts. Huo Tao snorted. He was lying on his stomach on top of the ironworks gate with one hand holding his head down and the other hand subconsciously ringing the doorbell.

    Clink ~ ~ ~

    At this time, Qin Xue, who was watching the Italian dinner design competition in the living room, couldn't help but look toward the entrance when she heard the doorbell ring.

    The messy words Huo Tao had spoken to her on the phone just now had once again flowed into her ears.

    Could it be him?

    Her thin red lips slightly tightened, and Qin Xue put down the coffee cup in her hand. Wrapped in a large cloak with black-and-white veined patterns on it, she walked to the entrance and picked up the intercom for the doorbell.

    Indeed, a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight.

    He saw Huo Tao with his head lowered, as if he lost consciousness. He was clinging to the door of Qin Xue's house, not moving at all.

    Huo Tao, is that you? What are you doing? Qin Xue narrowed her long and narrow eyes. Although her tone was a bit unyielding, her eyes flashed with a trace of worry.

    What was he up to this time? Did she go insane just because she drank too much?

    However, the Huo Tao in the video did not have any reaction. He only had a cold wind blowing past him. His sleeves would occasionally flutter as they moved in the middle of Qin Xue's video.

    Huo Tao? Qin Xue called out his name once again. Her voice was much higher than Gao Cai's, but there was no hint of displeasure or disgust in it. Her intellectual voice was completely filled with worry.

    Another silence.

    Huo Tao, if you can hear me now, then you'd better respond. If you wake up again after I leave the room myself, you'd better call the police and tell them you're harassing me in the middle of the night!

    Huo Tao continued to ignore Qin Xue. In an instant, Qin Xue's heart had leaped into her throat. She knew that Huo Tao loved to make mischievous jokes. However, whenever she showed the slightest bit of displeasure on her face, Huo Tao would stop and stop messing around.

    But this time … It seemed that something was really wrong with Huo Tao.

    Thinking like this, Qin Xue immediately opened the door and walked out of the house.

    It was already the middle of the night, and the wind and frost were very heavy outside. Qin Xue was a woman who paid attention to health. She understood that a woman's body could easily attract Feng Xie in the night, so she wrapped her large cloak around her as she walked quickly, while pulling her hat over her head.

    Qin Xue didn't know that Huo Tao was already asleep at her front door. He was interacting with Qin Xue while he was sleeping, preparing to hold her hand and give her a light kiss …

    Her hurried steps quickly cut across the ice-cold cobblestone path. Very quickly, Qin Xue arrived at the iron fence door. She opened the door of the small door and walked in front of Huo Tao, pushing his back.

    Huo Tao, what happened to you?

    In a daze, Huo Tao seemed to hear the gentle and sweet voice of his favorite woman. He laughed softly and slowly lifted his thick black eyelashes. He raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice.

    Under the few streetlights, the woman's delicate, white, and petite face looked extremely charming under the black cloak. Qin Xue gasped for breath as wisps of white smoke floated out from her lips and dispersed in the cold night wind.

    Qin Xue? Is it really you? I must be dreaming, right? Huo Tao happily looked at Qin Xue.

    The moment Qin Xue saw Huo Tao get up and smile at her, she believed that she was once again fooled by Huo Tao's prank.

    Huo Tao pretended to be asleep so long just to trick her out of the house!

    Qin Xue, why are you always being played around by the same person!

    Qin Xue secretly cursed herself in her heart. She turned around and was about to walk back to the villa.

    Qin Xue, wait. Don't leave.

    Suddenly, Huo Tao stepped forward. He grabbed Qin Xue's wrist and stopped her in front of her.

    Separated by the cloak, Huo Tao could clearly feel the warmth coming from Qin Xue's slender arm.

    His heart immediately bloomed like a flower in spring. Waves after waves of blossoming flowers started to rise from the bottom of his heart, encouraging him to do even more daring things.

    Swallowing his saliva, Huo Tao tried his best to cover his nervousness and excitement as he said, Qin Xue, it's already so late. This place is also remote, so I can't easily take a taxi. I'll just stay here for the night.

    After saying that, without waiting for Qin Xue's reaction, Huo Tao stretched out his hand and locked the villa's door. Then, he pulled Qin Xue back into the house with large strides and shut the door tightly.

    Huo Tao and Qin Xue were standing face to face in a living room decorated with a northern European style garden. Maybe it was because he was too nervous, but Huo Tao still hadn't let go of Qin Xue's hand.

    From when Huo Tao had grabbed Qin Xue's wrist until now, she had been in a state of confusion the entire time.

    Qin Xue was like a piece of paper that could not be written on. Her beautiful eyes stared at Huo Tao for a few seconds. Finally, a strong layer of anger enveloped her face.

    Huo Tao, you're really going too far! I'll call the police right now and have them drive you home! "

    After she finished speaking, Qin Xue threw off Huo Tao's Demon Claw heavily and walked towards the location of the phone in anger.

    The temperature of his hand suddenly disappeared. Huo Tao stared blankly at his empty palm.

    The next moment, before Qin Xue picked up the phone, he quickly walked to her side and said, Qin Xue, don't be like this. We're all adults, why did you call the police to hurt our beautiful night …

    CHAPTER 205 - ACOUSTIC STILL NEEDLE

    Ga ga — — Time seemed to have stopped halfway. It was as if a powerful gust of cold air had quickly climbed up Qin Xue and Huo Tao's bodies and frozen them in place.

    It was extremely cold; even a pin drop could be heard.

    Huo Tao felt as if the air had frozen. He wanted to smile to ease the awkwardness, but when the corner of his lips landed in Qin Xue's eyes, it immediately turned into a perverted smile before he went on a rampage.

    Huo Tao! Qin Xue used all her strength to shout out this name. However, the next moment, she was afraid that it would affect her neighbors and cause trouble for her own people.

    She quickly suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I was wrong about you! Go, now!"

    At this moment, Huo Tao was not much better off. He clearly wanted to express that they were all adults and if they had any problems, they should discuss them first before calling the police over. However, why did the word nice night just come out of his mouth?

    Damn it, if you drink too much, it's easy for you to get it out of your mouth and reveal your true thoughts.

    Qin Xue, listen to my explanation. That wasn't what I meant … Huo Tao explained nervously.

    However, Qin Xue didn't want to hear what he had to say. There was currently a drunkard in her family who wanted to share a 'Spring Festival Gala' with her, so how could she have the mood to listen to his so-called 'explanation'?

    Leave, if you don't, I'll call the police! As she spoke, Qin Xue reached out to push Huo Tao.

    It was just that Qin Xue was wearing slippers right now and it wasn't convenient for her to make such a large, continuous motion. Suddenly, with some carelessness, Qin Xue's shoes accidentally kicked the vase beside her.

    The vase started to sway slightly, but it soon became a lot stronger.

    Qin Xue's attention was completely focused on how to kick Huo Tao out of her house. She didn't notice the hidden danger around her.

    Huo Tao continued explaining as he retreated. Suddenly, his voice stopped.

    In the next moment, the flower vase that was swaying to the limit leaned forward. The bottle that was slightly taller than Qin Xue smashed towards her body.

    Be careful!

    In a moment of desperation, he did not care about Qin Xue's widened eyes. Was he suspecting that he was about to go berserk, Huo Tao stepped forward, bent his sturdy arm behind Qin Xue's back, and steadily scooped her up. Then, he used his broad back to help Qin Xue block the vase that had instantly fallen to the ground.

    A dull bone clanging sound rang out above Qin Xue's head. She subconsciously closed her eyes and slightly shrunk her neck. When the vase fell to the ground, it made a crisp sound of glass shattering. Only then did she open her eyes again.

    The broken shrapnel at his feet bounced a few times and then returned to normal.

    The floor was covered in fragments of crystals that reflected the bright chandeliers, creating colorful spots of light. They reflected in Qin Xue's shocked eyes one after another, exuding various emotions.

    Qin Xue had auctioned this vase at an auction house in France three years ago. It was the only vase in the world.

    At the moment, her mood for Qin Xue, who loved works of art, was extremely complicated. The softness under his chest felt as if someone had forcefully cut off a piece, and it hurt severely.

    Crap, they're all broken into pieces. Huo Tao lowered his eyes and said softly as he looked at the star-like crystal at his feet.

    You … Qin Xue raised her eyes as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw the person in front of her, it was only for a split-second.

    Oh god, Huo Tao, you're hurt! Qin Xue shouted loudly, her voice faintly trembling from shock and fear.

    A stream of blood as thick as a finger was flowing out from the back of Huo Tao's neck.

    Blood dripped drop by drop onto the crystal shard on the ground. It was as if they were saying their final goodbyes to this luxury item that had just been buried. The dazzling red color was like a gem.

    Only after being yelled at by Qin Xue did Huo Tao feel pain in the back of his neck.

    He touched the source of the pain, and his palm was immediately stained with blood.

    Don't touch it, it's dirty and will get infected! Qin Xue anxiously tore off Huo Tao's hand. She dragged Huo Tao with her as she walked towards the study room. At the same time, she complained angrily, You're crazy. What if your arteries get injured?

    Suddenly, a happy laugh was heard from behind her. Huo Tao raised his eyebrows and grinned, saying, Hehe, Qin Xue, are you concerned about me?

    Qin Xue was stunned. Her body quietly paused for a moment, but her footsteps did not pause at all. She quickly walked into the study room.

    It seems that not only have you gone mad, but you've also made a fool of yourself. You can even laugh at a time like this.

    Huo Tao's hand was still in the same state as when Qin Xue had pulled him. He stared fixedly at Qin Xue. Although the clarity in his eyes was intoxicated, the smile on his face was the complete expression of his joyful mood.

    Qin Xue took the medicine box and walked in front of Huo Tao. She sat beside Huo Tao, opened the bottle of alcohol, dipped it in cotton, and pulled the shirt behind Huo Tao's neck with her other hand.

    Huo Tao was a little nervous as he was not used to it.

    However, Qin Xue steadied his head and said, Don't move. It might hurt a little. Just bear with it.

    At that moment, Huo Tao felt like he was electrocuted and his body was shaking. However, in order to display the fearless attitude of a man in front of Qin Xue, Huo Tao frowned and said with a smile, It doesn't hurt at all.

    A strong smell of alcohol came from behind Huo Tao's ears. The smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of his body lingered at the tip of his nose.

    Huo Tao was very happy. He smiled. The smile on his face was very wide.

    Qin Xue, you're so nice to me …

    What?

    Huo Tao's voice was very soft, as if he was talking in his sleep. Qin Xue had been seriously applying medicine for Huo Tao, so she didn't hear what he said clearly.

    However, when she asked again, Huo Tao went silent.

    Qin Xue frowned and slightly leaned over to look at Huo Tao. However, she found that the person sitting in front of her had already fallen asleep.

    He can sleep like this? Qin Xue whispered, but in her heart she knew that Huo Tao being drunk for so long

    Enjoying the preview?
