Chapter 113: Save Me Some Face

It was ten o’clock at night, and the sea breeze was blowing.

When Lin Wanli returned home from the Yue Group, everyone in the family, including Huo Jiuxiao, had already turned off the lights and gone to bed.

When Lin Wanli entered the bedroom, she saw the man lying on his side under the dim light. She took a shower and changed her clothes. She went to see her daughter again before returning to the master bedroom. She lifted the blanket on the left and got into bed.

However, as soon as she lay down, the man’s heavy body pressed against her. He lifted her neck with his left hand and kissed her passionately. At the same time, Huo Jiuxiao’s right hand was not idle. He reached into her nightdress and caressed her waist.

Lin Wanli suddenly widened her eyes because she realized that the man wasn’t playing around.

[Huo Jiuxiao, your injuries!]

Huo Jiuxiao moved away from her lips and whispered in her ear with extreme magnetism and tension, “Don’t move, or the wound will tear even more.”

Huo Jiuxiao’s neck. She could only wrap her arms around his waist.

“Let’s revise.” [Hmm?]

“Two years ago.”

In the darkness, all that was left was their breathing which became heavier. Lin Wanli was worried about Huo Jiuxiao’s injury, so she couldn’t let go. However, perhaps it was also that restraint that caused Huo Jiuxiao to go even crazier. They didn’t say anything. The whole process was more like a collision between their hearts and souls.

Lin Wanli didn’t even change her lying position, but she already felt she belonged. She belonged to someone, exclusively to Huo Jiuxiao.

After the intimacy, there was a moment of emptiness. Huo Jiuxiao lay on his side and set Lin Wanli’s nightdress properly. He then hugged her to calm his breathing.

“Go take a shower later.”

[Let me take a look at your injuries first.]

“Once the lights are on, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold it in any longer.” Huo Jiuxiao said in a low and hoarse voice, “Ah Li, just now, I only took a small bite of the candy.”

Lin Wanli froze once again. Two years ago, at the hotel, Master Xiao was not drugged. In the end, she was still tormented for an entire night. That man’s energy and stamina seemed to have no limits.

Huo Jiuxiao patted Lin Wanli’s shoulder a moment later and said, “Go and wash up first. I’ll carry you when I’m better.”

[You also know that you are injured.]

Lin Wanli complained as she got off the bed and ran into the bathroom.

Standing under the shower, her mind kept recalling everything that had just happened. She was completely out of control. It seemed like she had really only taken a shallow bite of the candy.

[It’s over. I’ve been thinking about this. How am I going to go out later?]

However, just as she finished her sentence, a tall figure appeared outside the bathroom door.

“Ah Li, I can hear you.”

Lin Wanli was speechless.

[Save me some face.]

Huo Jiuxiao laughed even more wantonly. The betrayal and pain he felt because of Lu Xunyan seemed to have disappeared instantly.

In the shower, Lin Wanli couldn’t help but laugh.

That was a natural physiological reaction to the desire for a lover. What was wrong?

There was suddenly no movement outside the glass partition. Lin Wanli quickly cleaned up and went out. She saw Huo Jiuxiao sitting on the bathtub’s edge, and his shoulder was already red.

Or perhaps, he hadn’t cleaned up since he came back.

Lin Wanli sighed and ran out to get the first aid kit. She then bandaged his wound, although she would still blush when she saw the discarded condom in the trash can.

[Has everything been resolved?]

Huo Jiuxiao tilted his head and looked at Lin Wanli, “Aren’t you going to ask anything?”

Lin Wanli shook her head.

[Everything is good with you by my side.]

Huo Jiuxiao had always felt that Lin Wanli had a natural skill, which was to say sweet nothings. Then, he reached out and hugged Lin Wanli in his arms. He said seriously, “I will do my best.”

Even though he did not know how far his relationship with the Huo Family would go, he would do his best to stay alive and accompany her.

[I know. Can we sleep now?]

“You can go out first. I need to calm down.”

Lin Wanli nodded and got out of his arms. She carried the first aid kit and left the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Huo Jiuxiao returned to his bed. Lin Wanli was already half asleep. Huo Jiuxiao looked at her sleeping face and was satisfied. He took out his phone and logged into H, leaving the most important feelings of the day for himself to see.

To have her again.

The next morning, Lin Wanli was awakened by a call from the Lin Group’s Human Resources Department. After picking up the call, she took a moment to react before asking the other party again, “I’m sorry, who did you say you were?”

“Lin Group, Human Resources Department’s Manager. My surname is Fang.”

Lin Wanli looked at the man beside her. Although she knew she wouldn’t be able to wake him up, she still got out of bed with her phone and went to the bedroom balcony.

“Manager Fang, how can I help you?” As the sea breeze blew, Lin Wanli’s mind regained its clarity. She roughly knew why the other party called, but she did not expose her.

“It’s like this. The Chairman wants to meet you. When are you free?”

“Manager Fang, you won’t be able to keep the client like this.” Lin Wanli said directly.

The other party sighed and stopped pretending to be polite. She said, “The

Chairman promised to give you the position of General Manager of the Lin Group and hopes you can return to her side. To be honest, Miss Lin, being the second-in-command of the Lin Group is better than being the Executive Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. This is definitely a great thing for you.”

After Lin Wanli heard that, she couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Is that so?

Then should I bow three times and kowtow nine times to be grateful?”

“Uh, there’s no need for that. I just hope that after Miss Lin comes to the Lin

Group, you can put down your past grudges and focus on building the Lin

Group.”

“Manager Fang, you really know how to joke. Do you know how many international corporations look for me every day? Do you know the scale of the international corporations that came to me? A casual collaboration discussion of mine is your annual salary.”

“As for the Old Madam, tell her to stop dreaming and prepare the share transfer agreement. Don’t play any tricks. Otherwise, I’ll call the police.” Lin Wanli hung up the phone.

Manager Fang from the Human Resources Department was also furious.

She did not support Lin Wanli coming to the Lin Group in the first place. Now that she was humiliated by Lin Wanli, she was naturally angry.

“Lin Wanli, how great do you think you are? You’re just an Executive Vice-Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Who gave you the right to be so arrogant?”

“But…Manager Fang, Lin Wanli is really very popular.” Manager Fang’s assistant said timidly, “She’s been published in the France newspapers countless times. Also, the companies that approached her are all very famous, such as AFF Group.”

“That automobile group?” Manager Fang was shocked.

“Yes.” The assistant nodded, “So, she does have the right to look down on the Lin Family, let alone the position of General Manager of the Lin Group. Manager Fang, the Chairman is blinded by the Lin Family’s mother and daughter because of their personal grudge. You must be clear about this. Don’t be used by the Ye Family’s mother and daughter.”

After hearing her assistant’s words, Manager Fang calmed down and said to her assistant, “Show me the news about Lin Wanli..”
