C49

An Xia walked to the side of the dining table. In this corner, she seemed to be able to breathe normally.

She just stood there casually, her eyes casually admiring the luxurious decorations of this place.

Suddenly, a huge force came from behind him, as if someone had forcefully pushed him.

An Xia was caught off guard and dove forward. She was wearing high heels, and even before she could steady herself, her heels were twisted to the side and broken. A sharp pain came from her ankle.

Fortunately, she was able to quickly support herself on a nearby table.

If this wasn't the case, she would have fallen flat on her stomach, and even her ankle might have been fractured.

An Xia steadied herself, frowned, and turned his head away in anger. "You …"

When she turned around, there was no one behind her.

The person who had hit her had long since disappeared.

An Xia could feel the enormous force. It didn't seem to be an accidental action, but clearly, it was done on purpose.

She held onto the table and looked down at her feet. Her eyes inadvertently fell on her chest. The buttons on the dress had also been snapped and her chest was exposed.

An Xia sucked in a breath of cold air as she hastily pulled at the clothes on her chest. She knitted her brows in anger. Just who was it that was bullying her?

She just came here and didn't offend anyone?

However, now was not the time to think about this. She held her chest with one hand and supported herself on the edge of the table, trying to step on her left foot bit by bit.

She exerted a little more force, causing a heart-wrenching pain to rise up from her ankle. Her face contorted in pain, and she had no choice but to lift her leg.

If there was no one to support her and she couldn't even take a single step, what would she do?

An Xia helplessly pulled up her clothes. Although she was grabbing onto the clothes on her chest, it still couldn't completely cover her skin.

She bit her lips helplessly as her nose turned sour. Why did she come to such a place?

This was not a world she could live in at all.

She blinked, forcefully swallowing the tears of grievance that was about to spill out of her eyes.

She would not be so weak.

An Xia's eyes swept around the banquet, but there was no one she knew. She was just awkwardly standing by the table in a corner that no one cared about.

She was gradually losing her footing as she held onto the table with her right foot. Just as she was feeling helpless, she heard the footsteps of a man behind her.

Huo Jin Ze?

She turned around expectantly, only to discover that it wasn't him.

The man looked at her with a gentle smile, then slightly frowned, as if he noticed his abnormality. His gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over the ceremonial dress she wore.

He walked in front of her, took off his suit with his slender arm, and casually draped it over her, blocking the view of his chest.

"Are you okay?"

Huo Yuheng draped the suit over her body, and naturally supported her arm, "How did you do that?"

Considering that this was also his home, An Xia lied a little, "It's fine, my high heels broke my ankle."

She said it calmly. Hearing her words, Huo Yuheng's gaze wandered around her feet for a while, as if he believed her, "I'll bring you to deal with it."

"Alright."

An Xia sincerely thanked him.

She did not refuse him and allowed him to support her. He guided her all the way to a room deep in the corner of the first floor.

He was anxious as well. He pushed open the door carefully and entered before gently helping her to sit on the sofa by the side. From start to finish, he didn't cross even a single inch. Every movement he made was filled with a gentle smile.

"Sit here for a moment, I'll be back soon."

He smiled at her and left the room.

After a while, he came in with an ice pack and a medical kit.

Huo Yiheng walked in front of her and crouched down. Like a handsome prince, he gripped her ankle and carefully examined it.

He focused his eyes on An Xia's feet for a while, then moved her feet again. "Does it hurt like this?"

"A little."

"Yes."

He nodded, looked away from her feet, and met her gaze. "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones, I just sprained them. I'll be fine if I spray some blood and dissolve my blood stasis."

"Thank you," he said, his voice as clear and soothing as spring water.

"No need to be so polite, taking care of women is what a man should do."

What he said was natural, and his actions were even more natural.

He picked up the ice bag and carefully helped her apply it on her feet, "Wait for an hour, you should be able to leave soon. At the time of the banquet, the banquet is the most exciting part, you can still make it, but you can't wear high heels anymore."

An Xia obediently nodded. His heart, which had been flustered by his misfortune, gradually calmed down due to his gentle voice and actions.

He had helped him once again, perhaps the last time he had truly wanted to help him.

"I don't know your name yet."

She had a hundred questions for the man in front of her.

"Huo Yiheng."

He carefully massaged her ankle, not even lifting his head to look at her when he replied.

He had jet-black hair. When he lowered his head, the short hair in front of his forehead slightly tilted to cover his eyes that were as gentle as water. It added to his mysteriousness.

She had guessed it when he had called the old lady grandmother the same as Huo Jinze.

"Then you and Huo Jin Ze... Who's the Big Brother? " she asked curiously.

"Of course it's him."

Huo Yiheng replied indifferently. He then carefully put down her voice and stood up, "You can't continue wearing your clothes and shoes. If you don't mind, I can go to my sister and see if they fit."

Why was he so considerate?

An Xia embarrassedly looked at him and thanked him with a gentle voice.

She could not refuse.

However, on the other side, Huo Jinze had already started looking for her.

He was looking around. Why did that little woman disappear the moment he turned around?

Huo Jinze was thinking about where she had gone when he saw An Xia being supported by Huo Yicheng's arm in front of his eyes.

This woman, he had only left for such a short period of time, yet she had gotten together with other men. She was truly disobedient.

The two of them also saw his figure. An Xia saw that he immediately let go of Huo Yuheng's hand. He didn't try to force her, but only smiled at her and accompanied her to the front of Huo Jin Ze.

"Big brother." He smiled elegantly and his voice was pleasant to listen to.

Huo Jinze seemed to have heard some kind of joke, the corner of his mouth lifted into a smile, but his eyes had an aggressive look in them, "There's no elder here, so you don't have to call me that."

What did his relationship with him have to be so close?

With that, he slightly frowned as he glanced at An Xia. "Why are you two together?"

"I …"

An Xia didn't even have time to explain when Huo Yiheng hurriedly explained, "Big brother, you misunderstood! An Xia's leg was just injured. I took her to take care of it, so it should be fine now.

"I'm talking about my woman."

Huo Jinze coldly raised his eyes, but the corner of his mouth still carried an elusive smile.

Feeling the strange atmosphere between the two, An Xia obediently stood where she was, not daring to interrupt.

As Huo Jinze's voice fell, he walked to the front of An Xia, and naturally put his arm around her waist, full of possessiveness, "Let's go, the old man wants to see you."

An Xia was stunned for a moment. She felt like she was officially meeting her parents, even though she had already met the old man once that day.

Her waist was being held by him, and she didn't even have the chance to bid farewell to Huo Yiheng before she was led away from him in a domineering manner.

His hand landed on her waist, but it didn't weigh anything. Not only that, he even slightly embraced her body to lighten the weight on her legs, making it so that he didn't feel any pain when he walked.

How did this man do it?

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly heard the heavy breathing of a man. His deep voice was right next to her ear. He's not as harmless as he looks. "

He was just a wild wolf in sheep's clothing.

An Xia looked at him strangely. In her heart, she was displeased with his words. Why did he care about everything?

She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and silently resisted.

Huo Jinze's pupils slightly narrowed, his hand grabbing her chin, "Are you resisting me? Heh, you really are getting bolder and bolder! "

Anthea could feel the chill coming from him, and he was angry.

She looked at him timidly. "I-I didn't."

"That man is dangerous. Stay away from him!"

His eyes were ice-cold as he glared at her. "Remember what I said!"

He repeated the question to her as if he was determined to get the answer.

An Xia was frightened by his frightening gaze and nervously looked at him as she carefully nodded her head.

Seeing that she had agreed to let him go, An Xia slowly loosened his grip. However, he felt that this man was much safer than the man in front of him.

He let go of her hand and naturally held her hand tightly in his. "Come with me!"

His slender legs moved forward, and Anxia was pulled by him to closely follow behind.

He held her hand as they walked. Under the resentful gazes of the women, he brought her to the front of a few elders, among them his grandparents.

"Grandfather."

Huo Jinze pulled her hand and called out.

Old man Huo, who had a white beard, turned his head. He was wearing a traditional Tang suit and looked like he had an imposing aura about him, even though he wasn't angry.

There was no need to mention the old lady beside him, she was Jiang Shuling, Huo Jin Ze's grandmother.

Seeing An Xia by Huo Jin Ze's side, the old lady's eyes were filled with stars, staring at her with her own eyes, no matter how she looked she liked her.

It seemed that she was trying hard not to get close to An Xia because the situation wasn't suitable for her.

After conversing for a while with the people beside him and stopping their conversation, Grandpa Huo walked in front of Huo Jin Ze and smiled amiably, "Ah, Little Ze! In the future, you need to attend many family gatherings, so don't make it seem as if you don't know the whole family. "

"I know."

When An Xia heard this, she was surprised. This was the first time she heard him agree so readily to someone.

"Hm!" It's Jingwen's welcoming party today. All of your grandpa and your father's friends from the mall are here! "

Old man Huo said. He leaned over slightly and reached out a hand to the young man behind him, "Grandpa will introduce you to a promising young man. He is also the grandson of one of grandpa's old subordinates!"

He waved his hand at the young man behind him and said, "Come! Get to the front! "Let me introduce you to my favorite grandson."

His tone was somewhat proud.

From beginning to end, An Xia only remembered the word "Jingwen". She had come to the Huo family twice but hadn't seen this person.

He seemed to have just returned.

With the appearance of the young man behind Old Man Huo, An Xia suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

She knew him!

The moment that man appeared in their line of sight, even Huo Jin Ze's face became gloomy. It was so dark that people inexplicably wanted to step back.

As if he didn't feel it, Old Man Huo introduced him with a smile: "He's called Ye Ting! I just returned home recently, so you youngsters should get to know each other well. "
