Volume 2: Falling in Love with You is an Irretrievable Downfall Chapter 8: Each Other's Bed Companion

  Tattered... is that her?

  Tong Mai admits that her imagination is a bit too rich? It's possible that it's not what she meant, but no matter how she listens to it, she feels uncomfortable!

  His words always seem to have a sting in them!

  Tong Mai raised her eyes and coincidentally met with He Yi Ze's gaze, who was staring at her... Obviously, it was clear that he was mocking her! She bit her lip, wanting to retort fiercely, but she was a lady now! Dressed up like a beautiful flower, she had to act as delicate as one too.

  Endure...

  Whether at the Huo's or the Yin's, what she had to do in common was "endure"!

  Huo Yize did not call Lai Xianning "Mr. Lai", but instead used the term "Lai Gongzi", which was another sarcastic remark towards Lai Xianning.

  "Mr. Huo, this is not hearsay, it's a fact that buying out these companies and then nursing them back to profitability can be a very lucrative business."

  Tong Mai listened to Lian Xien Ning's reply beside her...

  What a gentlemanly response! Completely ignoring He Yize's words.

  For a moment, his impression of him improved by a fraction, no, it should have improved by several fractions.

  "What you said is not bad, buying up broken things can indeed make money, but... it takes a long time to see the economic benefits. What if it's too broken and rotten, in the end not only won't we get any benefit, but we'll also lose everything! So, Mr. Li, you must be careful! Before buying up broken things, I suggest you should first get your father Mr. Li's agreement before deciding whether to buy or not, otherwise, I'm afraid you're too young and impulsive, and you might end up losing the entire Li enterprise."

  Huo Yize said it very smoothly.

  Tong Mai's eyes stared at him with a hint of shock, staring fiercely at him.

  What he just said is absolutely the longest speech she has ever heard since she met him! Tong Mai was puzzled, this bastard Huo Yize, is it that when talking about business, he would be garrulous and talk endlessly? Or is he too angry with himself, so he's making veiled attacks on her?

  Can't understand! Don't understand at all!

  Pouted and furrowed her brow! Forget it, forget it! Scold if you want to scold! It's not the first time she's been scolded anyway! Besides, scolding won't make her lose any flesh!

  And besides, scolding people... can only reflect that your character is not good enough! This is all Tong Mai's twisted logic!

  Li Xian Ning raised an eyebrow, he also seemed to have noticed that there was more to He Yi Ze's words than met the eye, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out what it meant.

  Of course, Li Xianning also didn't associate Tong Mai and Huo Yize together...

  After all, Tong Mai's current expression is completely an attitude of not knowing He Yi Ze...

  "Hehe......" Li Xian Ning smiled slightly, her smile a bit unnatural.

  Yin Yuqi noticed Li Xianning's embarrassment, "Yize, we're not in the company now, let's put aside work for a moment and relax." The good-tempered Yin Yuqi's soft voice managed to give them some comfort.

  "It's like this, brother-in-law... we should have a talk. When are you going to marry our Yuqi? Yuqi has been following you for many years, if you don't give her a name, it's too heartless."

  Her cousin affectionately called Huo Yize, and her words were also coquettish and unusually strange and unpleasant to hear.

  The words cut deeper than usual! Extremely hurtful!

  I don't know if it was because she heard something she didn't like to hear, or if it was because of her cousin's cold voice, but she became unhappy. Anyway, now a strong sense of discontent had suddenly risen in her chest, and her heart seemed to be disobedient, as if it was very interested in He Yize's answer.

  She stopped in her tracks.

  "It's settled! Wait for me to invite you to my wedding banquet!" Huo Yize's response was almost shocking, stunning everyone around him.

  Moreover, he seemed to have intentionally emphasized the word "happy" a bit more.

  Upon hearing this, Tong Mai's heart sank even further, feeling incredibly heavy and suffocated. What was wrong with her? Why was she so sad? He and Yin Yuqi would get married someday, it was something she had known all along.

  However, when he finally said "it's almost time" from his mouth, Tong Mai's heart couldn't calm down, in intense ups and downs, jumping...

  "Oh...... Mr. Huo, congratulations! Congratulations!" The people around who heard the news of He Yize's marriage came up to congratulate him with envy.

  Today, so many guests, a large part of them are here for He Yi Ze, the news that the He and Yin families will become in-laws has been circulating in the business world, so by fawning on the Yin family, benefits will come rolling in...

  "Ah, Mr. Huo, congratulations! You and Miss Yin are a perfect match! A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"

  ……

  The constant praise from her classmates made her want to vomit! At the same time, she hated those who said such things.

  Go with your perfect match! Made in heaven! Are you blind? Tong Mai was very dissatisfied and took advantage of the crowd's departure to leave this slightly chaotic scene.

  Huò Yì Zé's scorching gaze watched her escape, the corners of his lips curled up in a wicked smile that expanded infinitely, probing without revealing what he was thinking now, and even more unclear whether this statement was true or false...

  "Damn it! Stop jumping! Stop jumping! If you jump again, I'll pull you out......" Tong Mai rushed forward with his head down, covering his rapidly beating heart, trying to suppress its wildness.

  What's wrong with her? Has she really fallen in love with He Yi Ze?

  Isn't it? This idea was generated in my mind, and Tong Mai had a feeling that Tian Tian should not be called Di Di.

  Okay, she can now accept the fact that something happened between her and him, but she absolutely cannot tolerate herself falling in love with him!

  Is she an idiot? Obviously it's someone who shouldn't be loved, obviously it's someone she can't love, how did she quietly fall in love without any warning signs?

  "Damn it, don't come into my heart! Auntie, I don't welcome you!" She really didn't welcome her!

  How could she be so confused as to allow this overbearing, cold-blooded man to wander in and out of her heart, stirring up all sorts of emotions?

  Does she like sunny and outgoing guys? He Yize is simply not her type!

  Tong Mai retreated to a corner and hid, she now only wanted to sort out her extremely confused emotions at this moment, clearly and unmistakably...

  "I don't love him, I don't love him at all...I must have been spending too much time with an old lady lately, without any men around me, not even little A and his followers, and the time to chat and bond with them is also very limited! The estrogen is too strong, it's messed up my thinking. I must be mistaken."

  Yes, that's right! It was mistaken.

  Tong Mai's heart was filled with bitterness and jealousy, as well as a strange and inexplicable love for He Yi Ze... This sudden discovery was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, striking her head.

  She sacrificed her body, must she also give him her heart?

  Absolutely not...

  Tong Mai hastily turned around, for a moment, she was really in a state of utter confusion. Whether it was said that she was useless or hypocritical, she was truly frightened by her own thoughts.

  All along, she understood the distance between her and He Yi Ze... as vast as the distance between the earth and the sky, far to the point of being unreachable!

  She once thought of using Huo Yize to severely hit the Yin family in order to avenge herself against Yin Yuqi, but in the end, she gave up...

  She was well aware that she couldn't penetrate into He Yi Ze's heart, even though he would occasionally make advances towards her, but she wasn't foolish enough to think of this as love! Men are animals that think with their lower body, as long as they find the taste suitable and to their liking, no matter who the other person is, they will take what they want.

  And yet she gradually lost herself in it?

  Is this her personal tragedy or a common fate for all women?

  "Who do you love?" A cold and low voice echoed in Tong Mai's ears.

  She didn't need to turn around, she could tell it was Huo Yize. Tong Mai's back stiffened for a moment, and his hands in front of him were trembling rather pitifully.

  It's even more difficult in his throat, and he can't get a word out...

  Of course, even if she could say something now, she wouldn't say it.

  Huo Yize stepped forward to her side, his profound eyes sizing up Tong Mai. Under the gaze of so many people, he looked at her like that, even though there was no expression on his face now.

  It's possible, looking at a woman like this... anyone would let their imagination run wild, but he seems to be indifferent.

  Tong Mai was desperately trying to swallow, "What are you doing?" Struggling to maintain calm! He couldn't have heard his own words, and even if he did, she would just deny it until death!

  "Who just said I love you?"

  Huo Yize repeated, the scorching gaze still flowed on Tong Mai's face, as if he was in a good mood now, mainly because he saw the expression on Tong Mai's face that he liked.

  Anxious... uneasy... and a hint of fear...

  That's what he wanted to see, at least make her not so unscrupulous.

  "I didn't say anything, you misheard." Her voice was firm and carried a vast sense of unfamiliar distance.

  Tong Mai's eyes didn't dare look at his face, she was afraid that when she gazed at him, she would reveal her true feelings...

  Tong Mai hastily and flusteredly wanted to leave, even though this place was very secluded, however, there were still many people shuttling back and forth in front.

  She was afraid that Yoon Yu-qi would see the two of them...

  "I heard it, wheat."

  For the first time, Huo Yize called her nickname in such a soft and gentle tone. Before, he always called her Tong Mai or simply didn't call her anything at all...

  In this way, Ling Mai also got used to it.

  Suddenly he was called "Little Wheat", Tong Mai was slightly startled, his heart beating rapidly accelerating again!

  "What's it to you what I heard? Don't be so familiar with me, okay?" Tong Mai retorted, using her anger to cover up her current nervousness.

  She should have changed this habit long ago, how can she always talk to herself freely?

  Huo Yize neatly grasped Tong Mai's hand as she passed by her own side, "Xiao Mai..."

  "What's wrong with you?!"

  He hadn't even finished speaking, and Tong Mai had already hastily replied! She couldn't bear him calling her with such deep affection, as if they were the most intimate lovers... In fact, they were nothing at all, at best just each other's bedmates...
