Chapter 21 - An Angry Man Is Not Easy to Coax

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xia Sheng knew that she was in the wrong. Looking at Huo Ye’s gloomy face, she was secretly complaining in her heart. She smiled and coaxed him. “I came out to discuss something. Don’t be angry.”

Huo Ye’s gaze shifted slightly and he said coldly, “Why didn’t you call me if you had something on?”

Xia Sheng laughed dryly, her eyes flickering. She did not dare to meet Huo Ye’s eyes.

Huo Ye glanced sideways at Xia Sheng and saw through her thoughts. He could not help but sneer. “I called you so many times but you didn’t even answer?”

Xia Sheng shrunk her head and took out her phone from his bag. After pressing it a few times, she realized that her phone had run out of battery. It really was not up to her. With Huo Ye’s sharp gaze, her lips curled into a helpless smile. “I really didn’t notice.”

In the end, Huo Ye did not do anything to Xia Sheng. However, before he left, he bit Xia Sheng again. Xia Sheng held her neck as tears streamed down her face. This man was like a dog that would bite at any disagreement. His bite was too ruthless.

Staring at the person in the mirror, she wanted to cry but had no tears. Red marks appeared on her fair skin, and her clothes could not cover it up. This was bad.

When she went back, she leaned her head against the car window, looking distracted.

Mingzhu glanced at Xia Sheng’s miserable appearance and deliberately asked, “Why is your mouth swollen?”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng came back to her senses and coughed awkwardly, trying to deal with the situation. “The food today was too spicy. I’ll just put some ice on it when I get back.”

Mingzhu peeked into the back seat while waiting for the light to turn green. “Oh, then the same thing happens to the one on the back of your neck?”

Xia Sheng quickly patted Mingzhu’s head and scolded her angrily, “It’s a mosquito bite. Why do you like to be so wishy-washy today? Hurry up and drive!”

Mingzhu pouted and drove away with a mischievous look on her face.

The car arrived safely at the entrance of the villa.

Not long after, Huo Ye also returned home, but his expression was still gloomy.

During dinner, the dining table was extremely quiet, and only the sound of knives and forks clashing against plates could be heard.

Seeing Xia Sheng eating as if nothing had happened, Huo Ye was a little upset. He put down his chopsticks and said coldly, “Butler! Take the rice away, it’s too hard!”

Xia Sheng stopped drinking the soup.

The butler hurried over and glanced at Xia Sheng, hesitating. “Young Master, actually today is…”

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Ye interrupted him with an unhappy expression. “I don’t want to hear any explanations. Take it away! Don’t let me see this Felix steak again. It’s too old!”

The butler trembled as he raised his hand to wipe his sweat. He secretly sized up Xia Sheng’s expression and did not dare to speak.

Xia Sheng, who was holding the bowl, looked over with a frown. Was this guy really looking for trouble tonight? She had only missed his call in the afternoon, did he have to be so angry?

Huo Ye’s mood became even worse. He slammed the table. “Did the chef slack off today? What did he make? It’s disgusting!”

Xia Sheng said quietly, “I made it.”

Huo Ye : “…”

One of them was in a fit of anger, while the other was feeling guilty. They held back their words and did not say a single word. Huo Ye did not even say anything before entering the study.

Xia Sheng was fine and did not get angry with herself. She smiled and said, “Butler, please make me a pot of hot tea.”

Not long after, she took a seat on the sofa with a cup of tea and happily started to watch the drama.

Later that evening, there was a movement in the study. Huo Ye came out looking ill because he was hungry. He hadn’t eaten much for dinner in the first place. After a few hours, his stomach was empty. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. At home, he still had to suffer and go hungry, so he decided to come out.

“Butler,” he called the butler coldly. The leftovers from dinner had long been taken away. The kitchen was so clean that there was no smell of oil or smoke. However, he had to eat something. Otherwise, his stomach would burn and he would not be able to sit still.

Seeing Huo Ye cover his stomach silently, Xia Sheng smiled knowingly and said calmly, “It’s late, stop calling. The butler and the rest are asleep.” Then, she calmly opened the takeaway app and swiped her slender fingers across the pictures of the food.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ye looked over and his eyes flickered. “What do you want to eat so late at night?”

“Of course it’s fried chicken, kebab and beer. It’s best to eat these at night!” Xia Sheng waved her phone and opened the takeaway app to find the shop that she frequented. Then, she started to order her food.

“They would not deliver if I buy a serving for one person. Do you want to eat some too? Shall I order more?” She asked Huo Ye’s opinion as she ordered the dishes. She thought that she was really benevolent as she could still take care of him even when this man had despised her tonight.

However, Huo Ye refused with a cold face. “It’s not good for your health to eat junk food at night.”

Xia Sheng’s face darkened and snorted. “Forget it if you don’t want to eat. So what if I like to eat junk food?”

“What did you say?” Huo Ye frowned.

“Nothing, I’m looking to see which shop’s junk food is delicious.” Xia Sheng raised her phone and deliberately emphasized the last few words. She turned her head and started to order her food, ignoring Huo Ye.

Huo Ye’s expression darkened further. He braced himself and ordered the butler, “Prepare a light porridge for me.”

The words he said were like spilled water. No matter what, he could not swallow his pride and give in. He might as well fight with Xia Sheng.

It was a pity that the servants in the house had to suffer because of these two.

The butler looked at Xia Sheng quickly and asked softly, “Sir, do you need to prepare one for Madam?”

“She’s not eating.” Huo Ye’s expression was not good and the air pressure around him lowered.

Xia Sheng looked over and waved her hand with a smile. “I ordered junk food, you don’t have to prepare it for me.”

Unexpectedly, Huo Ye’s expression turned even worse. Only Xia Sheng acted like nothing had happened.

While the porridge was boiling in the pot, Xia Sheng’s takeaway arrived. She threw her phone away and went out to get it happily. When she returned, she was all smiles.

Seeing that there was a bowl of light vegetable porridge in front of Huo Ye, she waved the takeaway in front of him and asked kindly, “Healthy person, can you fill your stomach with this for dinner?”

Huo Ye gritted his teeth in anger, his gaze so fierce that he almost cut off a piece of flesh from Xia Sheng. “Shut up and eat your food.”

Xia Sheng stuck out her tongue mischievously and placed the fried chicken and kebab on the marble coffee table one by one. The rich fragrance instantly spread and the entire living room was dyed with the smell.

She took a deep breath and sighed in satisfaction. “Indeed, these things are the most suitable supper!” She pretended to look at Huo Ye, her eyes curved into crescents.

Huo Ye took in the entire scene. When he smelled the smell, he clenched his fists even tighter and almost broke a corner off the table..
