Chapter 24: Changing Underwear

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After walking around, Xia Sheng pushed Huo Ye back into the house. Now that the excitement was gone, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before.

Xia Sheng went to the washroom. When she came out, she suddenly heard the servants discussing something in the corner. She stopped when she heard the servants mention Huo Ye.

“Ever since Young Master Huo Ye’s accident, the Huo family hasn’t been as lively as today.”

“There was once. Don’t forget that Young Master Huo Ye was almost pushed down the stairs. At that time, it was much noisier than now.”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng’s pupils constricted. She took a few steps forward and grabbed the servant, asking in a low voice, “When was the time when Huo Ye was almost pushed down the stairs?”

The servant was shocked by Xia Sheng’s sudden appearance. With a pale face, she lowered her head and begged for mercy. “We didn’t mean to discuss Young Master Huo Ye. Please calm down, Miss Xia.”

They had seen how Xia Sheng had rendered the Huo family speechless, so they were instinctively in awe.

Xia Sheng took a deep breath in frustration. She suppressed her temper and repeated, “I won’t find trouble with you guys. Just answer my question properly!”

The servant trembled as she told Xia Sheng about how Huo Ye almost got into an accident. Of course, she did not forget to mention the person who wanted to hit Huo Ye.

“Lin Zhi is quite bold, daring to attack his master.” Xia Sheng muttered to herself, a trace of ruthlessness flashing past her eyes.

Damn it, he actually dared to touch her man!

…

In the hall, Old Master Huo looked at Xia Sheng with a serious expression.

“Since the Huo Corporation was acquired, I should announce something else. From now on, Xia Sheng is the new boss of the Huo Corporation. Everyone has to respect her.”

This time, the crowd was uncharacteristically quiet. They had fought for power until their heads were bleeding, but in the end, they still lost to an outsider.

Now that the Huo Corporation’s power was in Xia Sheng’s hands, they had no choice but to suck up to the other party. Otherwise, they could only pack up and leave.

After interacting with Xia Sheng a few times, everyone knew that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.

Xia Sheng was still calm as she whispered to Huo Ye, covering her mouth and laughing from time to time.

However, at this moment, a child in a suit ran out and said to Xia Sheng in a childish voice, “Sister, are you Brother’s girlfriend?” The child’s words were innocent and he smelled like milk. He had baby fat on his face and looked very likable.

Xia Sheng fell in love with this child at first glance and could not help but rub the cute child’s round head. “Yes, I’m already married to this big brother.”

“Ah, then Sister and Brother.” The cute child looked at Xia Sheng’s stomach in surprise and pointed at himself. “Then am I going to have a younger brother and sister? Then, will I only be able to eat two of the three candies in the future?”

Xia Sheng suddenly could not breathe. However, the cute child smiled so widely that his eyes formed a straight line, revealing a few white teeth that were as smooth as rice grains.

Huo Ye watched from the side. For some reason, it felt like a warm and harmonious family of three.

Before Xia Sheng left, Old Master Huo took a jade bracelet from the study.

The moment the bracelet appeared, everyone gasped. After all, Old Master Huo had even taken out such an expensive item. It was obvious how much he valued Xia Sheng.

The Huo Family had completely changed.

“This is your grandmother’s bracelet. I’m passing it to you now.”

“Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll definitely cherish it.” The bracelet was cold to the touch, and its texture was lustrous and full of luster. It was obviously made of excellent material, but now that the Huo family was hers, why would she care about a bracelet?

Xia Sheng kept the bracelet with a clear conscience, causing everyone’s eyes to turn red.

When they returned home, Xia Sheng felt that it was much quieter. It was not obvious at the banquet, but once she relaxed, she felt that her whole body was aching.

However, before she could do anything, Huo Ye stopped her.

Huo Ye sat upright in the wheelchair and spread his hands. “I want to change.”

Xia Sheng was stunned. “And then?”

Huo Ye looked at her and said confidently, “Help me change.”

“You!” Xia Sheng was furious and shouted, “Change yourself.”

Huo Ye fell back shamelessly. “My leg is broken.”

“Shameless!” Xia Sheng cursed and turned to go to the cloakroom.

“I’ll have to trouble you to bring me another set of undergarments to change into. Thank you for your hard work.” Huo Ye shouted loudly through the door of the cloakroom.

Xia Sheng did not answer and opened the cloakroom.

Huo Ye’s clothes were neatly arranged in the spacious cloakroom, but when she found what he wanted, her face turned red. There were all kinds of shirts and pants in the cloakroom, but that was not all. What made Xia Sheng speechless was all kinds of male underwear. These things were right there. She was caught off guard and did not know where to start. It was a test of her mental endurance.

Thinking that the man was waiting anxiously outside, Xia Sheng grabbed a random strip and walked out of the cloakroom with Huo Ye’s home clothes.

Her ears were burning red as she stuffed the crumpled clothes into Huo Ye’s arms. “Here, go change yourself!”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” Huo Ye shook off his clothes and smiled bitterly. “My legs can’t exert strength, so I can’t change my clothes.”

As he said that, he found the underwear that Xia Sheng had wrapped into a ball, but it was a briefs. Looking at the thing in his hand, he was slightly stunned before he reacted and spread it on his lap as if nothing had happened.

Xia Sheng quickly glanced at the briefs on Huo Ye’s legs and coughed dryly. She was strangely terrified. “It’s just a change of underwear, I believe you can do it.”

“I can’t.” Unexpectedly, Huo Ye did not follow the rules either. He spread out his hands and said, “Besides, we’ve already seen each other. What’s there to be shy about between an old couple?”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng’s body stiffened. Huo Ye’s low laughter rang in her ears again, and she was instantly angry. “Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?!”

Huo Ye laughed softly and looked at her with a deep gaze.

Xia Sheng was so nervous that she was stuttering. “You… you sit on the bed first.”

Huo Ye did as he was told and waited for Xia Sheng’s next move.

It was just that Xia Sheng’s scalp was numb from being stared at, she really could not do it boldy and let Huo Ye half lean in her arms, continuously hypnotizing herself. But halfway through, Huo Ye suddenly moved. She couldn’t control the strength in her hands and heard a painful gasp.

Before she could react, her hand was grabbed by Huo Ye. She heard him say hoarsely, “Are you trying to murder your husband?”

Before Xia Sheng could answer, she felt her vision blur. Her body flipped and she was pushed onto the soft bed. Her thoughts became chaotic and disorganized as the fiery lips closed over her. After that, it was a night of pleasure.
