Chapter 185 Just for this one point, I won't give you another chance!
Chapter 185 For this reason alone, I will not give you another chance!
"I'll arrange it for you right away," Mu Xi said with a smile.
I stopped her: "Alright, stop fooling around."
"I just want to cheer you up," Mu Xi comforted her. "Being surrounded by people at times like this can help ease your unhappiness, and they're all your type."
"Is my type so obvious?" I wondered.
Although I know I prefer gentle and profound types, I don't rule out other types.
"You haven't forgotten all of that, have you?" Mu Xi asked in surprise. "Back in our first year of high school, during the National Day performance, you went on stage to present flowers to Gu Heng, and you reached for the microphone from the host to confess your feelings to him."
I was stunned.
Dead memories began to attack me.
After being reborn, I started from my senior year of high school.
I've almost completely forgotten about what happened in my first year of high school.
"Gu Heng rejected you and told you to focus on your studies. Do you remember what you said?" Mu Xi curled her lips: "You said you liked his type, and that you would only ever like this type of person and would never give up."
"Stop talking." I've already remembered everything.
From then on, my pursuit of Gu Heng became even more ardent.
So everyone knows what kind of person I like.
But actually, I was just saying that casually that day.
Unexpectedly, this caused a huge misunderstanding.
No wonder Huo Yubai pretended to be a good student to get close to me.
"Let's go swimming." Mu Xi smiled. "I bet your way of relieving stress hasn't changed at all, has it?"
"Nothing has changed," I replied.
We went out onto the balcony.
Outside is a huge infinity pool.
The swimming pool has a built-in temperature regulation function, so you won't feel cold even when you go into the water in winter.
I dived into the water and started swimming.
Mu Xi stayed with me for a while, then we leaned against the shore, drinking and admiring the lights of thousands of homes outside.
I got tired of swimming, so I swam over and rested against the wall.
"Are you feeling better?" Mu Xi asked.
"Much better." I breathed slightly. "Swimming is so good. I feel so free underwater. I can't hear anything except the sound of water. The world is so quiet."
"That's good." Mu Xi handed me a glass of juice: "I prepared this especially for you, knowing you can't drink alcohol."
"Thank you." I turned around and looked at the scenery outside. "It's so beautiful."
“Yes, this is a key project that our hotel will be promoting next year, so I brought you here specifically to experience it,” Mu Xi explained.
"Those boys too?" I asked, puzzled.
"Hmm." Mu Xi said, "Although they have a management company, it's not certain that they can develop. In fact, no matter what industry you are in, you may not be able to achieve anything even if you are good-looking. The key is to have someone to guide you. Also, if you are not willing to go all out, you will not get what you want. Their circle is even more distorted. In short, I can't say that I am just catering to the tastes of those rich people. But we may be legitimate. It's just an experience service, nothing more."
I smiled and said, "You see them every day, don't you have any desires?"
"I'm getting tired of this kind of thing," Mu Xi sighed. "But everyone's been working on their own IPs these past two years, and the Mu Group has to keep up with the times. Maybe one day I'll really put in some effort and send a few people into the entertainment industry."
I smiled, sometimes feeling quite envious of Mu Xi.
She always has a clear goal and then immediately takes action.
"I'll give you a heads-up," Mu Xi said in a deep voice. "The Shen family has sent Shen Ning to an entertainment company, and this company will launch her at the end of the year. In my opinion, they will use you to their advantage."
I scoffed, "Then let's give it a try."
Just then, a commotion arose outside.
"Sir, you cannot go in. You cannot disturb them now."
"roll!"
"What's wrong?" I frowned.
"I'll go take a look." Mu Xi went ashore and wrapped herself in a bathrobe.
I was worried, so I quickly followed.
Entered the house.
Then they saw Huo Yubai and his men subdue those handsome guys.
He also ordered his men to search the room.
"Mr. Huo, what are you doing?" Mu Xi asked in surprise.
Huo Yubai frowned: "Mu Xi, where is Yan Yan? What are you doing here with her? Did you arrange a handsome guy for her?"
Mu Xi: "..."
"Huo Yubai, what are you doing so late at night?" I was a few minutes late, but I heard everything he said.
Huo Yubai paused for a moment: "Just the two of you?"
"Is there someone else here?" I frowned. "What are you doing here? And why did you bring people with you?"
"Get out, all of you!" Huo Yubai said coldly.
His men led their men out.
Mu Xi paused for a moment, then said, "I'm going back to my room. You two can talk."
After she left.
I was clearly displeased: "Huo Yubai, did you bring people here to catch someone in the act?"
“No.” He walked up to me. “Did you just come out of the water?”
"Stop changing the subject. Do you think I was doing *that* with that handsome guy in the swimming pool?" I said angrily.
"No." Huo Yubai shook his head.
"Huo Yubai, you and I have nothing to do with each other. What I do is none of your business. You barged in with your men, do you think I don't see what your purpose is?" I said angrily, "Your desire to control is far too strong!"
Huo Yubai's dark eyes were deep: "So, you'd rather have them than me?"
I frowned.
"Am I not handsome enough, not rich enough, or not gentle and considerate enough?" He leaned closer: "Or do you think I'm a short-lived ghost?"
Short-lived ghost?
I already told you, he won't die.
"Huo Yubai has nothing to do with any of this. I just don't want to be with a liar." I said coldly, "Please don't do this again."
"Cough cough." He suddenly coughed.
He was thin and frail, and when he coughed, it seemed as if his whole body was trembling.
Moreover, his cough got worse and worse.
I helped him up. "Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water. You didn't protect your neck on the way here, the cold air irritated your respiratory tract."
He was very obedient and sat down.
I went to the kitchen and brought out a cup of hot water: "Hold it in your hands, use the steam to warm your throat, and take a deep breath."
He did as instructed.
The cough got better quickly.
"Yan Yan." His eyes were wet with tears. "Don't abandon me. I really know I was wrong. Give me another chance, and I promise I will never lie to you again."
I took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, but tell me, why didn't you come that day?"
He hesitated.
I sneered: "For that reason alone, I won't give you another chance!"
After saying that, I stood up to leave.
He grabbed my hand and looked up at me: "Yan Yan, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know how to say it."
I frowned: "Why don't you know how to say it?"
"I..." Huo Yubai put down his cup and stood up. He unbuttoned his suit and shirt, revealing his strong and muscular chest, which was covered with many wounds.
He took my hand and gently placed it on a scar on his chest, the deepest and most prominent one.
"I wanted to go find you, but Huo Changzhou was unhappy that the old man had taken me back to the Huo family, so he had someone ambush me on the way," he explained, lowering his eyes.
I froze completely.
Interception?
