Huo Ye looked at Xia Sheng’s bold eating method, and his stomach started to feel hungry. The porridge in his bowl was like clear soup.

Xia Sheng laughed secretly but did not show it on her face. She waved a drumstick in front of Huo Ye. “Do you really not want to try it?”

Huo Ye didn’t even look at it and said in annoyance, “Take it away.”

He drank the porridge as if he was venting his anger. He prayed silently in his heart that he would not be affected by the other party and only managed to stabilize his mind after a while.

“Some people are destined not to enjoy good food!” Xia Sheng mumbled as she bit the drumstick, her eyes narrowing in bliss.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ye glanced at Xia Sheng. After a few moments of hesitation, he still made a move on the junk food that he despised. Looking at Xia Sheng’s satisfied expression, he abandoned the bland and tasteless nutritious porridge and started snatching it from Xia Sheng without any distractions.

He was very satisfied with this supper. After clearing his throat, he said with an air of arrogance, “I’m going back to my room to rest. Don’t stay up too long, sleep early.”

Xia Sheng persisted until she finished watching the last episode of the drama before she reluctantly left. However, she did not fill her stomach and wanted to order another takeaway. But, to her surprise, the shop owner had already closed the door. She could only give up and return to her room dejectedly.

Coincidentally, Huo Ye had yet to fall asleep. When she saw the culprit coming out of the bathroom, she was instantly enraged. She quickly walked up and kicked him indignantly.

“It’s all your fault!” If it weren’t for this man’s insincere words, she wouldn’t have eaten half of her food. However, this man had no self-awareness.

At that time, he refused to admit it when she ordered the food. In the end, he was thick-skinned enough to snatch the food from her. She couldn’t believe such a grown man was actually so childish!

Huo Ye was kicked for no reason and he frowned unhappily. “What are you doing?”

“You still dare to ask!” Xia Sheng was furious and glared at Huo Ye fiercely. “Would it kill you to be more honest?”

“What are you doing? It’s time to sleep.” Huo Ye’s expression changed slightly as he walked around Xia Sheng to rest.

However, the more Xia Sheng thought about it, the angrier she got. Taking advantage of the man’s inability to move, she pushed him out of the door together with the wheelchair. “I don’t want to see you tonight!”

With a loud bang, the bedroom door was slammed shut by Xia Sheng. The wind blew and messed up Huo Ye’s hair.

Great, they had just gotten married. She didn’t pick up the phone or let him into her room. She didn’t love him anymore, right?

Coincidentally, not long after, Xia Sheng received an invitation from the Huo family’s old mansion. She packed her things and brought Huo Ye over to eat dinner, no matter what, she had to give Huo Ye some face.

Although Huo Ye was in charge of the Huo Corporation now, she still had the final say in the matter. The last time they parted on bad terms with the Huo Family, these people were still angry, but they had to maintain a superficial relationship.

It was just that when they were going out, there was a car accident at the intersection and she and Huo Ye were stuck there.

Time passed minute by minute. Half of Xia Sheng’s body was numb from sitting. “Is the road still blocked?”

“The traffic police are still handling it. It should be soon.” The assistant sighed helplessly. It was such a small chance for them to meet with such an accident, they really should check the almanac before leaving.

Hearing this, Xia Sheng leaned her head against the car window and said faintly, “Forget it, don’t let me hear those people talking about it when the time comes.”

Although she didn’t say the names, Huo Ye and his assistant knew that the Huo family wouldn’t let her go.

Huo Ye’s eyes flashed, revealing a gloomy aura. “Don’t stand on ceremony with them.”

Xia Sheng chuckled and did not answer. Even if Huo Ye did not say it, she would not let herself be taken advantage of.

After the accident was settled, the assistant drove the car quickly, but they were still late. However, the two of them were in a good mood. They chatted casually without any sense of being late.

In the old mansion of the Huo family, everyone had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Huo Ye had not even arrived yet and they were already fuming inside.

Huo Si was the first to react. He said sarcastically, “We agreed to have dinner at home, why is this brat still so rude?!” If it weren’t for the fact that Huo Ye controlled the entire Huo Corporation, he would have stomped his feet in anger. He wouldn’t have waited so long in peace.

Tang Meili looked at the door and frowned slightly, looking worried. “Huo Ye’s leg isn’t convenient, so it’s normal for him to be late.” These words seemed to be an excuse for Huo Ye, but in reality, they were secretly mocking Huo Ye for having a disability, causing him to walk slowly.

Everyone’s expression changed, but no one refuted. After all, Huo Ye was half crippled. If not for Huo Ye’s outstanding ability, he would have long been thrown away as an abandoned pawn. How could he still have his current status?

Old Master Huo frowned slightly and glanced at Tang Meili from the corner of his eyes. He said in a low voice, “Wait a while more. We’ll start dinner when everyone is here.”

Upon seeing this, Tang Meili pouted her lips in anger. In the end, she was still afraid of Old Master Huo and did not dare to say anything else.

Huo Cheng pretended to be a good person and tried to persuade her, “It’s normal for a couple to be slow when it comes to matters. As elders, we should be patient and wait. It’s just a short while, it won’t take up much time.”

At the mention of Xia Sheng, everyone started discussing again. Their words were not clear, but there was disdain on their faces.

“Xia Sheng’s background is complicated and she has a strong personality. If such a person enters the Huo family, will the family still be safe?”

“Who knows what Huo Ye is thinking? Why did he have to find someone like that?”

They had suffered quite a bit with Xia Sheng’s strong personality. Now, the other party had become the executive director of the Huo Corporation, arrogantly stepping on them. They had already caused so much trouble in the past. If something went wrong in the future, they would probably never be able to have peace again. When everyone thought of this, they couldn’t help but look at Old Master Huo. They were tempted to find out more about his intention.

Unfortunately, none of them had the guts to do so. No one dared to say it to Old Master Huo.

The men of the Huo family never interfered in the affairs between women, but Tang Meili was still Huo Gang’s second wife, so she was half the owner of the house. However, ever since Xia Sheng came, she could not take any advantages anymore, so she hated her.

Hearing a group of people discussing Xia Sheng, she pretended to fan the flames. “The more powerful a woman is, the more she values her career. If the man beside her can’t help at all and even needs a woman to help him subsidize, their relationship will fall sooner or later.”

After Tang Meili mentioned this, the few women started to have evil thoughts. Each of them planned to dampen the other party’s spirit..
