Chapter 82: Coveting

Gussia's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the face that had turned towards her. For several seconds, she was completely stunned."Win Xixi How could it be you Why are you here""Miss Gu, that'...: []

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"So that's how it is. Would you like to come up and sit with me It's so cold out here."

Win XuXu swore, she said this, it was absolutely just casual talk.

To my surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, the person agreed: "Sure, I happen to have a few books on law that I want to bring you. They're the ones you asked me to buy last time, so I might as well take them up there together."

Wen Xuxu:……

Okay, I forgot about this. Can we tell him we're not going to sue anymore

In the end, Wen Xuxu still took this person back to her rented house.

The city had already entered winter, it was indeed cold. The moment Wen Xixi opened the door, because the building was too old, those windows and walls were very thin and old, so after entering, she didn't feel warm at all, instead, the house felt even colder.

"Excuse me, I'm going to start a fire." Wen Xixi came in and quickly went to start the fire.

Qiao Shiqian then strolled casually around the little house.

This was only his second time here, but this time he didn't seem out of place.

"Nancy, your building here is too old and not well-insulated. Maybe you should consider renting a new place"

"Oh No need, it's quite nice here, right next to the kindergarten, very convenient."

Wēn Xǐ Xǐ, who was busy tending the stove, shook her head in refusal.

Are you kidding me

She finally found such a dilapidated place, the kind where that bastard wouldn't come. Why on earth would she move Did she have a screw loose

Wen Xuxu quickly lit the stove, then immediately went into the kitchen with the flour to start working.

But she didn't know that while she was fully engrossed in her work, the man who had poured himself a glass of water in the living room outside suddenly walked over. Then, right at the kitchen doorway, bathed in the fading evening light, he stared intently at her through the rising steam.

What kind of look was that

It's like being infatuated, yet it's also just a simple gaze. But if you look closely, you'll find the intense heat within, just like a newly kindled fire in a hearth, hot enough to make your heart skip a beat!

"Just sit here for a bit. I need to get the noodles going before they come back so we can have a full meal when they arrive."

Perhaps sensing the heat in those eyes, Wen Xixi finally turned her head and said to him.

Qiao Shiqian saw this, and then somewhat unnaturally withdrew his gaze.

"Is there anything I can help you with"

"No, you can just sit."

Wen Xuxu refused without hesitation. Although she was familiar with him, the distance they should maintain had always been there.

It took about twenty minutes, finally, the noodles are done.

"Let's go down together." Wen Xuxu was truly not polite. When going out, she directly proposed that this person go out with her.

Joe Shi couldn't possibly misunderstand her meaning.

Right now, I could only chuckle wryly and then went down with her. We stayed there for no more than an hour and a half in total.

"Mr. Qiao, will you continue to fight Ms. Wen's case"

"

No...

"

Inside the car, in just a few minutes, this man who was still smiling gently outside had vanished without a trace of warmth.

And the names they mentioned, weren't Nancy anymore, but Wen Xuxu.

"Are they back together again"

Assistant, emboldened by this, blurted out a question.

But the man did not answer, only his face became increasingly sinister and ugly. The eyes behind the lenses were also chillingly cold.

"You said last time that Huo Sijue never told his father about her coming back, right"

"...Yes."

"Reason"

"I think it's because Ms. Wen belongs to the category of people who have been reborn after death. People in this category are removed from local household registers. Once they are brought back, it involves an issue of identity restoration."

The man fell silent for a second.

Account recovery issue

So, this man named Huo Sijue, is he not willing to restore her household registration right now Why Is it because if it's restored, she will reappear on the Huo family's household register

Then, what did Huo Sijue unwilling to see

He suddenly seemed to have grasped something. Instantly, the layers of insidiousness loosened considerably.

Then just put that message out there!

"Ah"

The assistant was taken aback. "Let her go Then... wouldn't you have even less of a chance Once she's let go, Mr. Huo will probably find out very soon, and he'll definitely immediately restore Miss Wen's household registration. She'll become someone on Mr. Huo Sijue's household register again."

"No, you're wrong, she won't become that person on the surface."

He finally said softly, his eyes completely restored to their previous gentleness and serenity, with a glimmer of light laughter...""Alright, you check this hospital out first. We'll see what's up later. If it looks bad, I'll sneak out and go myself."Mo Bao agreed to the decision and casually handed her brother the tablet she had...
