Anya helplessly said: "Xiaoyi, I also want to kick him out as soon as possible, but Zaizai just won’t let him leave, clinging to his legs, insisting that Daddy stay a while longer. They are blood relatives, what can I say? I’m powerless too."

Jiayi was shocked: "What time did he leave? He... wasn’t in my room the whole time, was he?"

Anya swallowed: "As soon as you went upstairs, you started throwing up like crazy, I couldn’t handle it alone, Mr. Huo stayed in your room, accompanying you until he left this morning after six... Oh right, before Mr. Huo left, he also took Zaizai to kindergarten, so you can sleep in a bit today."

Jiayi was at a loss for words!

So this guy only left this morning!

I thought I was safe once he brought me home, turns out the guy followed me inside!

Let the wolf into the house!

After seeing her finish the honey water, Anya said, "I’ll go make breakfast. You drank too much last night, you must be hungry now, eat something to fill your stomach."

Jiayi snapped out of her daze and nodded.

Seeing Anya leave the bedroom, Jiayi suddenly threw back the covers and looked at her body, gasping.

Her dress had been changed into pajamas, including the pajamas, BRA, and panties.

She grabbed a strand of hair hanging down and noticed the scent of shampoo.

She glanced at the little bathroom in the bedroom, biting her lower lip.

It couldn’t be that he washed me from head to toe and changed my clothes, could it?

Just then, her phone rang.

She answered, and a familiar deep voice came through unsurprisingly: "You’re awake."

She immediately felt as if he had stripped her naked, holding the phone, unable to speak for a long while.

"Did you drink the honey water?" Huo Zhenyang lazily said.

It wasn’t his first time seeing her drunk; he was even more familiar with what she needed to drink after a hangover to feel comfortable.

She finally bit down on her silver teeth, "Last night you..." but she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Huo Zhenyang, aware of what she wanted to ask, chuckled lightly: "I’ve fathered your child, is it embarrassing to bathe you and change your clothes? However, I don’t really like the colors of your recent lingerie sets, maybe consider changing them..."

Thinking of this pervert rummaging through her lingerie drawer last night selecting styles, her cheeks burned red like fire, interrupting his banter: "Enough! Mr. Huo, what do you mean?! Don’t forget we’re divorced, we have no relation! ...Even if I was drunk, you just needed to send me home, what’s the meaning of lingering and not leaving? Who allowed you to bathe me and change my clothes? You... you..."

She was both embarrassed and angry, unable to continue speaking.

"What about it? Anya must have told you, you were dead drunk, vomiting terribly. Besides Zaizai, there’s only a pregnant woman over six months along at home, apart from me, who else could carry you upstairs to bathe and change you?"

Such a shameless face! She had nothing to say in response, only managing to say, "Okay. Mr. Huo, do you have anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"Wait a second." The man’s voice turned serious, no longer frivolous, taking on the tone of a boss.

Jiayi gritted her teeth, trying to be as polite as possible: "Mr. Huo, do you have any work-related instructions?"

She emphasized the words "work-related instructions" to make her stance clear; she and he need only discuss work matters, nothing else.

"Last night in the elevator, it seemed like you had something to say to me but didn’t finish."

This little woman was crying in his arms, woefully aggrieved, as if she wanted to vent some bitterness, but had fainted before she could finish.

Her eyebrows furrowed, she didn’t remember at all what she wanted to tell him last night in the elevator.

However, hearing him say that, she must have been a complete mess from drunkenness, babbling senselessly...

Seeing that she remained silent, he reminded her, "You called me a big villain, said you hated me, and that I couldn’t make it up to you."

Her heart stirred, and the hand holding the phone involuntarily trembled.

The scars hidden deep in her heart for months, almost healed, seemed to have been touched again in an instant.

Last night, under the influence of alcohol, there was a moment when she almost hugged this man, crying out about the child she had lost...

She suppressed the surge of emotions, her tone calm with a hint of a smile: "Mr. Huo, do you take drunken words seriously? I have nothing to say to you."

He was silent for a few seconds, then curled his thin lips: "Okay, since those were just drunken words. Then move back to Disheng with Zaizai."

What a rascal! Everything comes back to this topic!

She gritted her teeth: "Mr. Huo doesn’t have Alzheimer’s, does he? Then let me repeat, our relationship now is strictly professional, boss and partner. Last night was the first and last time. Starting today, I won’t engage with you beyond work matters. Please behave yourself in the future."

With a snap, she hung up the phone.

Several seconds after hanging up, Jiayi’s heart was still pounding incessantly, causing her some unease.

He is now a major client of F. WANG, her immediate boss...

Would hanging up on him anger him?

It’s okay. It was just hanging up the phone.

As long as she performed her job perfectly well without giving him any reason to complain, that would be enough.

Thinking this, her feelings finally stabilized.

Because of the hangover and the fact that Huo Zhenyang had sent her home, Jiayi was somewhat unsettled and didn’t go to the bridal shop for a couple of days, choosing to rest at home instead.

After all, she had been so busy lately she hadn’t had any rest, so it was like a little vacation for herself.

Anya, seeing that Jiayi was not feeling well due to the hangover and worried that it would be too exhausting for her to cook and take care of Zaizai alone, volunteered to help with the chores, including doing daily grocery shopping.

Initially, Jiayi was worried about Anya’s health, but considering that these days Anya was being nourished by the nutritional supplements sent by Beiming Hall every few days, she really did need some exercise, and since the market was nearby, it seemed alright.

That afternoon, just after picking up Little Baozi from the kindergarten, Anya came carrying an eco-friendly bag, just like the previous days, and greeted, "Xiaoyi, I’m going to buy some groceries."

"Okay, come back early, be careful on the road."

Anya walked out of the residential complex’s main gate, and the Beiming Hall’s car, as usual, was parked under the shade across the street.

Hearing the greeting, Anya’s face slightly moved and she squeezed out a smile, much like the previous days, actively approached and greeted with a smile: "HI." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

A subordinate walked over as well: "Miss Liang."

During this period, Miss Liang’s attitude was much more cooperative, staying quietly at home to nourish her fetus.

The nutritional supplements sent by the Hall Master were all consumed thoroughly by her,

She also went to prenatal check-ups without any fuss as arranged by the Hall Master, and the subordinates of Beiming Hall felt much more at ease.

It seems that Miss Liang has fully compromised.

At this moment, a subordinate greeted her with a smile: "Miss Liang going to the market again?"
