She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

"You...why haven't you left yet?"

Meng Xia was subconsciously surprised, but she heard Huo Xibai coming over with a chuckle, "What? Do you really want me to leave? I've asked you this several times."

"No, it's not."

Meng Xia quickly shook his head and denied, "I just noticed that you were not here, and subconsciously thought that you were gone."

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to the company today?"

Seeing the cautious anticipation in her eyes, Huo Xibai suddenly remembered the sad look of her holding him last night, and the words that were on his lips suddenly changed, "No, I'm working from home today, so I'll stay with you at home."

"real!?"

Undisguised surprise appeared on the woman's face, and she quickly stood up and walked over, "Then you can have a good rest at home today. I see that you have lost a lot of weight recently. I will make you some soup later."

As she said that, she suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, have you had breakfast? I'll go down and make it for you?"

"No need, there are so many servants, why do you need to do anything?"

Huo Xibai grabbed her, hugged her and sighed softly into her ear, "You just need to be by my side and stay with me."

"..."

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, noticing the fatigue in the man's tone, and then raised her hands to wrap around his waist. She felt that the man in her arms was real, and then she uttered one word with satisfaction, "Okay."

Huo Xibai stayed at home all day, all morning to be exact, and his cell phone kept vibrating. Meng Xia glanced at him several times, but saw the calm look on the man's face and said nothing.

It wasn't until her own cell phone rang that she couldn't help but say, "Do you really don't need to answer it? Is there something urgent?"

Although she didn't want Huo Xi to leave in vain, she was still a little worried...

"Ignore them. If there is really an emergency, they are the ones who should be anxious. Are we still afraid that they can't find us?"

Meng Xia stopped talking and turned off her phone in front of Huo Xibai. When the man saw this, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms and kiss her, "That's right."

And sure enough, no one came to them for the next whole day. It was rare for the two of them to stay together for a whole day.

But early the next morning, Uncle Huo came to pick him up in person——

At that time, Meng Xia and Huo Xibai were having breakfast, and a man in a black suit walked in, "Master, I'm here to take you to the company today."

The man bent over, looking respectful, but not at all humble.

Huo Xibai didn't say anything, and ate his meal slowly. He even thought about picking up vegetables for Meng Xia, "This tastes good, do you want to try it?"

The man was busy with his own business and had no intention of paying any attention to Uncle Huo.

Meng Xia couldn't understand Huo Xibai's intention for a moment, so he didn't say anything and just watched what happened.

For a moment, the huge restaurant was eerily quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the occasional collision of tableware.

Uncle Huo stood aside and waited for a few minutes, frowning slightly, "Master, you didn't go to the company yesterday. You missed two meetings and a wine party. Sir, he was already very unhappy."

Hearing this, Huo Xibai finally reacted and sneered, "So? What does it have to do with me if he is unhappy?"

"..."

Uncle Huo was at a loss for words. He didn't know what kind of trouble Huo Xibai was planning to make. Then he narrowed his eyes and reminded, "Did the young master forget the agreement with the husband?"

"There is no need for you to remind me. I will certainly remember the agreement I made with him. It's just that I'm not feeling well and want to rest for two days. Is there a problem?"

"You still need me now, so you won't want to see me die at my desk, right?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Huo quickly explained, "The young master is joking. Of course, the young master's health is the most important. Since the young master is unwell, I will notify the personal doctor to come over now." (End of Chapter)
