Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Bo Chi Wearing Yuan Xi’s Hair Tie
Huo Shiyan chuckled as he made a call to Qin Lang, “Let’s postpone all business trips for now.”
Yuan Xi, who was quite close to Huo Shiyan, heard Qin Lang trying to persuade Huo Shiyan on the other end.
Huo Shiyan said, “Don’t plan any business trips for the near future.”
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and said, “As worried and scared as I am, just like you said, the domestic laws are pretty effective, and we also have bodyguards, so go ahead with your business trip without worries.”
Huo Shiyan drew Yuan Xi into his arms. “Actually, you don’t need to act tough in front of me.”
Yuan Xi said, “You’ve just taken over Shiyi Group, work is important…”
Huo Shiyan laughed gently, “Shiyi Group is a century-old brand. Even if I don’t go on business trips, it won’t have much impact. As for you, I don’t want you to be worried right after having a child.”
Inside the room.
Yuan Xi was scrolling through Weibo, and sure enough, Gu Hanchen was being severely criticized.
And in turn, Mi Chen also found themselves trending amid the backlash.
Yuan Xi felt pretty helpless, helpless enough to really want to call a shareholders’ meeting and replace Gu Hanchen as CEO, but there weren’t any suitable candidates for the time being.
Although Gu Hanchen was incompetent in management, he was quite useful in marketing in the gaming industry. It was just that he made big blunders too.
Under Mi Yi’s Weibo comments, it was all peace and serenity.
“I heard Mi Yi’s ex-boyfriend is Fu Qin from Fu An Group, and her current boyfriend is this wealthy Buddha’s son, ahhh, Mi Yi is simply the chosen female lead, I’m just a passerby netizen in a novel.”
“Fu An Group? Isn’t that the one that owns half of the luxury malls in the country? And Mi Yi’s current boyfriend is something extraordinary too. They’ve visited a temple where usually there’s no room to stand due to the crowd, and this time they cleared the place to worship. Buddha’s mercy has indeed taken residence there.”
“This wealthy Buddha’s son’s watch is worth thirty million, and the Emperor green No Matter Plate around his neck is probably about fifty million, a net worth of an entire hundred million!”
“Our Mi Yi is pretty amazing on her own. She’s the real big shot in the gaming industry, not like some people who rely entirely on a good marriage, snatching away Mi Chen. Today, ‘Destroying Stars’ surpassed ‘Forest Pursuit’ in daily revenue. Mi Yi really is like the female lead of a story!”
“Am I the only one who noticed? The wealthy Buddha’s son has a sunflower elastic band on his wrist! Mi Yi has short hair, and she’s always had short hair, right? That sunflower elastic band can’t be Mi Yi’s, can it?”
After reading this comment, Yuan Xi zoomed in on the area circled in the comment photo, her fear reaching its peak at that moment.
Yuan Xi gripped Huo Shiyan’s hand tightly.
Huo Shiyan, seeing Yuan Xi’s tense appearance, regretted letting her know about Bo Chi.
Huo Shiyan caressed Yuan Xi’s hair and said, “There’s no need to be afraid.”
Yuan Xi sighed and said, “If I didn’t have children before, I wouldn’t be afraid. But now, I’m really scared I won’t be able to accompany my children as they grow up. I can’t even stay up late working like I used to, or drink coffee, which I didn’t give up during pregnancy, but now I have…
I’m afraid my body won’t hold up. I’m not scared of getting a tooth pulled; I’m just afraid if something went wrong during the tooth extraction, I wouldn’t be able to accompany my babies as they grow up.
Actually, I am a lot more timid now than I used to be.”
Huo Shiyan said, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be able to be with our babies as they grow up.”
Yuan Xi opened her phone and showed it to Huo Shiyan, saying, “This hair tie is mine. Sunflower designs were popular when I was in junior high, and since my name includes ‘Xi’ which suggests sun, all my hair ties were sunflower bands. I didn’t expect he would still be wearing it, which means he has never forgotten his hatred towards me.”
Huo Shiyan glanced at Yuan Xi. A year ago, he foolishly hoped Yuan Xi could feel his love for her, which was nothing but wishful thinking.
Yuan Xi, especially regarding the matters of romantic affection, was indeed quite slow to catch on.
Huo Shiyan said, “Hmm, so keep your distance from him. It’d be best if you stay with me while he is in the country.”
Yuan Xi said, “That’s not necessary.”
Yuan Xi drifted off to sleep in a daze. When she woke up early, she glanced at the stock prices at close and then at the trending topics, which were still dominated by Gu Hanchen and Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi didn’t want to get involved in the altercation.
Huo Shiyuan noticed Yuan Xi stirring beside him and, after waking up, he tightened his hold on Yuan Xi’s waist. “Why did you wake up so early?”
Yuan Xi said, “I couldn’t sleep anymore, I dreamt that I was being chased down by Bo Chi…”
Huo Shiyuan said, “As long as you’re in the country, you won’t have to worry about being chased down.”
Yuan Xi said, “Then I won’t go abroad for a while.”
Holding Yuan Xi, Huo Shiyuan asked, “Did you only dream of Bo Chi?”
Seeing Huo Shiyuan’s jealous tone, Yuan Xi said, “I also dreamt that Gu Hanchen came to save me…”
The hand around Yuan Xi’s waist tightened, and Huo Shiyuan’s gaze became dangerously fixed on Yuan Xi. “Didn’t you dream about me saving you? You dreamt of Gu Hanchen rescuing you? Yuan Xi, sometimes I really want to ask if Gu Hanchen is more important to you than I am in your heart.”
Yuan Xi chuckled and said, “I dreamt of Gu Hanchen riding a pig, waving a whip, and then calling for the ‘Brother Niu’ to charge, followed by two bulls coming to rescue me…”
Yuan Xi found the dream both absurd and amusing.
But it was also Gu Hanchen’s fault for keeping cows at the company entrance, and Mi Chen rearing pigs. Yuan Xi found it particularly speechless to see expenditures for cow feed on the financial statements.
Huo Shiyuan: “…”
Yuan Xi gently pushed Huo Shiyan and said, “It’s time to get up, Lele and Anan must be awake by now.”
Huo Shiyuan got up and went with Yuan Xi to check on Lele and Anan. It seemed like Lele could now recognize people, and she began to cry pitifully upon seeing Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi held her, and she nestled into her embrace, crying woefully as if feeling very wronged.
After Yuan Xi comforted Lele for a while, she noticed Anan in Huo Shiyuan’s arms looking just as pitiful. Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan exchanged babies, but Lele started to fuss unhappily the moment she was in Huo Shiyuan’s arms.
Cradling Lele, Huo Shiyuan laughed helplessly, “She not only looks like Ms. Shi; she’s also got her dislike for me.”
Yuan Xi said, “How could Lele possibly dislike you? She just likes me more, that’s all.”
Yuan Xi approached Lele allowing her to see her clearly, and then Lele stopped fussing.
The temperature on a spring morning was pleasant, and Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan took Lele and Anan out to the garden to enjoy the sunshine.
Fu Qin appeared at the large iron gate outside the garden.
Huo Shiyuan instructed the bodyguard to open the gate, and upon seeing Fu Qin coming over early, he asked, “Why have you come so early?”
Fu Qin, looking at the two babies, picked up baby Lele and said, “Baby Ruolin has gotten even prettier, auntie loves you so much. Grow up quickly, and auntie will design beautiful little dresses for you to wear.”
Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Fu Qin said, “I’m hosting a charity auction to benefit children in mountainous areas the day after tomorrow. Why don’t you both come and lend support?”
Huo Shiyuan asked, “Why are you suddenly hosting an auction?”
Fu Qin said, “There’s always been this tradition among the wealthy ladies’ circle in A City, usually once a month, and now that I’ve become a daughter-in-law of the Wen Family, it’s my turn to host.”
Huo Shiyuan frowned, “Why hasn’t Yuan Xi ever received an invitation to these ladies’ circle auctions before?”
Yuan Xi also looked towards Fu Qin. There seemed to be auctions within Jiang City’s circle of wealthy madames, and Yuan Xi had attended an auction hosted by Mrs. Gu along with Gu Hanchen to show support.
The circle of wealthy ladies in A City should have also had such auctions, but Yuan Xi indeed had never received an invitation.
Fu Qin explained, “Ms. Shi has always disliked the circle of posh ladies in A City, and naturally, no one has extended an invitation to Yuan Xi.”

Then Fu Qin added, “These auctions among the circle of wealthy ladies, when it all comes down to it, are about maintaining connections and seeking cooperation for their husbands’ companies, along with a chance to show off and compare new jewelry purchases, chat about gossips, and keep up plastic sisterly relations. Ms. Shi isn’t really willing to be part of that circle.”
