Chapter 24 - Didn't you want me to touch you?

"Hello, Mr. Macley!"

"You are, Mr. Xu Yi Mo?" McLean recognized the voice and responded in a slow and unhurried manner.

Hsu Yi Mo responded. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

"I hear that Mr. McLean has been looking for some spokesmen and is still worrying about not finding them?"

"Miss Lin Xia Hua wants to come?" Macley was almost immediately aware of his true intentions.

Xu Zimo frowned slightly. A look of displeasure flashed through his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself. He denied in a deep voice, "It's not her. I have other candidates to recommend."

The afternoon sun still looked a bit hot, so Xu Zimo couldn't help but slightly rip open his collar, a bit of irritation gradually rising from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr Xu. If Miss Lin Xia Hua had not agreed to cooperate, I would not have considered the others for the time being."

His meaning was very clear, he would only consider if Lin Xiafua agreed to work together with him.

In the end, it was still Lin Xia Hua.

Xu Yimo suppressed his temper, and after a few pleasantries with Mr. McLean, the deep emotions in his eyes began to fade like ink.

The trouble was, McCauley's identity and status was also recognized by everyone as a person who had fought his way up to this point in time.

This matter really wasn't something that he could casually solve.

But Lin, for her part, wanted a seat for him.

Xu Yimo felt a headache coming on. He stretched out his hand and pressed it against his temple, slowly rotating it. He pursed his lips and thought for a while.

Time left quickly, and when it was time to get off work, Lin Xia Hua still hadn't come up with a decision, so she simply dragged it out and gave up on the idea of going home for the time being.

Once she got home, she realized that something was amiss. Perhaps something had happened tonight, but she always felt that something was amiss with Xu Zimo.

For example, to be amiable to her, and even more serious, was to ask appropriate questions about her life.

Compared to the Xu Zimo who used to regard her as a filthy and filthy object, she was almost like a completely different person.

However, this warmth had moved her.

Her feelings for him were real!

"Actually, you can leave work, but I can still afford to support you."

She followed Xu Yimo to the dining table. Hearing these words, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Although Xu Yimo's words were light and unhurried, it was as if they were filled with some sort of emotion. It made her feel gentle, but it also seemed a bit fake.

It was like a perfectly woven dream, filled with the allure of a gooseberry, tempting her to sink into lies.

Lin Xia Hua did not expose this lie, it was just that he avoided it neither lightly nor heavily. He did not leave any mistakes and continued to be a good person.

He didn't pay much attention to her attitude and simply nodded his head. Then, he personally scooped a bowl of soup for her and carefully placed it in front of her.

Her slender white hands caressed the edge of the bowl as she handed the bowl to her. She put it down carefully and said gently, "Drink slowly."

Lin Xia Hua stirred the spoon a bit, but was surprised to find that there was still walnuts inside. She looked at it a few more times without saying a word. She put down the spoon as if to ask something, then swallowed it back down.

Even though the gentleness came too suddenly, she still didn't want to break it.

He was the one who built it, why should he break it?

The current atmosphere was the only warmth she would feel after marrying into the Xu Family for so many years.

When the time was right, Xu Yimo finally opened his mouth to ask.

"Do you remember the cooperation Mr. McLean mentioned to you?"

Lin Xia Hua's hand that was holding the chopsticks suddenly stopped as a bad premonition gradually surfaced.

"I remember."

How could he not remember that he had straightforwardly refused the cooperation at that time?

Xu Yimo's voice was low and deep, and it gradually resounded by his ears: "Go try it out."

She paused, unable to recover her senses for a moment.

He could only open his mouth unhurriedly.

"Mr. McLean has always been hard at picking people."

She didn't say a word as she stared at him, but she had a faint guess in her heart.

"You're working with Mr. McLean, and your sister is going with you. Since you're sisters, be careful."

All the gentleness had been torn clean at this moment, revealing everything.

Indeed.

The expression on her face could not be held back anymore. Lin Xia Hua coldly laughed, the disappointment in her eyes clear and clear.

"You want me to agree to work with McLean?"

Xu Zimo frowned slightly. He felt uncomfortable with the disappointment in her eyes, but he still nodded in the end.

The smile on Lin Xia Hua's lips began to rise, but the temperature was much colder. Her voice also contained a bit more impulse and anger: "Xu Yimo, since you knew that if you want me to agree to cooperate and help my sister, then do you know that I'm allergic to walnuts?"

The man before her narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to take a look.

She did not avoid his gaze, nor did she try to avoid it. Instead, she stared straight at him with a questioning look.

Questioning? Xu Zimo frowned, unable to figure out what was wrong.

"The soup you gave me has walnuts in it."

Lin Xia Hua laughed with sorrow: "Your gentleness is not something that ordinary people can bear. I can't take it anymore, go find someone else."

Just a single sentence was enough to cause Xu Yumei's expression to change.

He gritted his teeth and impatiently said, "Lin Xiafua, you'd better not give a damn about your reputation."

"It's better if you talk to Mr. McLean. Since you rejected me so cleanly, it's more convenient for me to go back on my word with you. I won't stop you."

She knew that with his pride, how could he let go of his pride?

After a few sentences, she finally succeeded in infuriating Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo squinted, his eyes filled with danger. He looked at her, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her to the sofa with all his might. He pressed his hand on her shoulder, pressing down on the sofa, and then wrapped himself around her.

Everything happened too suddenly, and before Lin Xia Hua could react, she felt a sense of oppression from her body, and a sense of danger assaulting her face.

The man on her body only sneered as he reached out his hand to tear off her clothes, showing no mercy.

Lin Xia Hua panicked. In her panic, she barely managed to stop his hand as she shouted, "What are you doing!"

"What for?" Xu Guoliu's lips curved up in a cold smile. She had been familiar with the condescending tone for many years. "Didn't you want me to touch you?"

He shook off her hand, reached out his hand to tug at his collar, and tore off a row of buttons on his shirt, scattering them all over the sofa and carpet.
