Chapter 28: The Ferocious Wolf Dog
"Sparring partner"... The term made Huo Yize extremely angry. First, she was used as a tool for revenge against Yin Yuqi, and now she had become her sparring partner. That damned woman, who did she think she was? What kind of person did she think she was?
However, after so many years of experience in the business world, Huo Yize has already cultivated a poker face and naturally knows how to deal with Tong Mai's ridicule and insults.
It's human nature to think that He Yize would definitely retort, but instead, he fell silent, his cold and stern silence tormenting her, making it impossible for Tong Mai to guess what he was thinking or even plotting, in short, such behavior made Tong Mai feel a wave of fear, and also made her unable to defend herself.
She irritably picked up her bag, since she couldn't guess what was on his mind, she didn't bother to try. "Bye, hopefully we won't meet again next time."
Huoyi Ze's voice was as cold as frost, his words dripping with disdain. "As long as you stay in the Yin family for one more day, our chances of meeting will increase, and... my warning to you seems to have fallen on deaf ears! No matter, I know Miss Tong is someone who doesn't drink willingly but will drink when forced to."
Sarcasm and ridicule converged in his tone, neither high nor low, yet enough to make Tong Mai's heart beat inexplicably faster. She wanted to get angry, to interrogate him - what right did he have to drive her out of the Yin house? What had she done to offend him? But all her anger was suppressed.
Image... In this situation, you still have to pay attention to your image! And he's going with a pale face... He doesn't want to lose face, and she feels embarrassed.
When Tong Mai was about to leave in a hurry, Yin Yuqi had already finished the phone call and came back. "Xiao Mai, do you have anything else? Let's go back together! We'll go back and talk to my mom." She was still so serious and kind-hearted.
"It's fine, I don't have anything to talk about with you two!" After saying that, Tong Mai felt fed up with the two of them and roughly pushed away Yin Yuqi's hand. She stormed out of the store in a rage...
Yin Yuqi gazed at Tong Mai's disappearing back, with countless emotions churning inside her... between her and her mom... what could she do to balance them?
"Let's go, I'll send you back." Everything was calm, whether it was his tone or expression. It seemed as if the encounter with Tong Mai had never happened, and didn't stir up any emotions in him at all.
"Still worried about her?"
Huo Yize held the steering wheel with one hand and patted her hand with the other, comforting her.
Indeed, a woman like Yin Yuqi who is so understanding and kind-hearted is the only one worthy of him, and suitable to be the young mistress of a wealthy family. As for someone like Tong Mai, who is only beautiful on the outside but empty inside... he can't stand her.
He seems to have gone senile recently. Yin Yuqi and Tong Mai are two people who cannot be compared on the same level.
"Hmm... I think the resentment between Xiaomai and my mom is too deep, Xiaomai's temper is stubborn, and my mom won't give in to her, no compromise. If this continues, I don't know what to do." She honestly spoke out her inner thoughts. Since Xiaomai appeared, the family has been in an uproar. Yin Yiqi hopes to find a way to resolve their hatred, otherwise... if it goes on like this, the Yin family will soon not be like a family anymore.
"It's actually quite simple, let those who shouldn't have appeared in the first place go back to where they started, and isn't that a solution?"
Huo Yize spoke in a light tone, which was more like a suggestion. In his words, Yin Yuqi could hear that he didn't quite like Tong Mai, at least he didn't show any bias towards him.
This somehow inexplicably made Yin Yuqi feel a little comforted. She wasn't sure if it was good or not, but women are all selfish and don't want their men to show even the slightest favoritism or care towards other women besides themselves; the more they dislike someone, the more they reject them, the better!
"But if we let Xiaomai leave... that's not good either! She is also Father's daughter, a descendant of the Yin family!" Yin Yiqi furrowed her brow, as if this was a rather thorny issue.
He Yize raised an eyebrow, he could easily hear the dilemma and distress in Yin Yuqi's words, it was time for him to do something for his woman...
However, what he did didn't need her to know, and he hadn't thought about doing anything for Yin Yuqi to move her. Their feelings had always been a bit dull, without any earth-shaking love stories. They had met, felt good, held hands... and that's how they ended up together, as plain as boiled water.
"By the way, what's wrong with your hand?"
Suddenly, Yin Yuqi's gaze fell on his hand with teeth marks, and she furrowed her brow, feeling inexplicably uneasy in her heart, and some bad imaginary scenes appeared before her eyes...
Her doubts, Huo Yize's face didn't fluctuate much, without any awkwardness, instead he was very relaxed and waved his hand, answering extremely smoothly, without a hint of guilt. "A few days ago, I met a wolf dog and got bitten, that's all."
So easy, so smooth answer, obviously his answer has the meaning of "desire to cover up" in it, but he doesn't look flustered at all. The handsome face still has only his pride and unruliness, such an expression, at first glance, does not carry much threat, however, Yin Yuxi is very clear, no matter whether she and Huo Yize get married or maintain the current relationship in the future, she will never be able to "control" him.
Let's not talk about "controlling" him, she can't even touch his inner heart...
Although on the surface, he seems to be fond of her and care for her, and in the business world, there has been no news or reports about him being ambiguous with any star or socialite, but sometimes Yin Yuqi really can't feel how intense his emotions are towards her.
Is it his nature being too cold? Or is he too calm and composed that makes him unpredictable?
"Haha......this wolf dog is really fierce!" The clever woman chose to turn a blind eye. However, there was inevitably some bitterness in her words...
"You'll have the chance... to see for yourself."
Huo Yize spoke in a low voice, his good-looking lips curled into a good-looking arc, as if he was saying something extremely unimportant. The profound eyes had an unsettling glow, as if hinting at something.
Does he have another woman? Yin Yuqi's chest suddenly tightened and was severely punched, what did his words mean? Obviously, not long ago, he said he would marry her, this...
Yin Yuqi swallowed hard, not daring to think further, but also didn't have the strength to speak up. The car was eerily silent, so quiet that it made one's heart feel panicked and fearful...
