Chapter 537

    

aged to speak calmly and firmly: "Uncle Huo has been dead for many years. My mother's marriage to him automatically dissolved, and legally speaking, she hasn't been part of the Huo family for a long t...Xia Xia choked and looked nervously at the sink, "I didn't mean to report anything to anyone. I was just talking casually."

When a person is guilty, they are more likely to repeat what others say.

Cao Yuan took a step forward. "If I come in, why are you so nervous that you dropped your phone into the pit"

Xiao Xia opened her mouth and put on a brave face, "I wasn't scared! You suddenly barged in, how could I not be afraid!"

"Since you have a guilty conscience, how could you be frightened by me" Cao Yuan looked down at her from above, as if interrogating a criminal.

Xia Xia felt a chill run down her spine being looked at like that. This straight man wouldn't know how to talk properly if his life depended on it, would he

...And so on.

She turned her head and looked back at her phone's final resting place, tears welling up in her eyes.

She really cares, that phone is only a week old, she just bought it and hasn't even had time to get used to it.

Caoyuan was taken aback, looking at Xiaoxia's face that suddenly turned into one of grievance. He realized that his tone just now had been a bit too harsh. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll buy you a new phone."

Xiaxia covered her eyes with one hand and burst into tears, sobbing, “I just want my own phone...”

She quietly glanced at Cao Yuan with the gap between her fingers. She was just pretending to be sad to distract Cao Yuan, lest he really pry into her true thoughts later on, then things would be hard to handle.

Resulting in her seeing Cao Yuan's face tense, she thought that this icy man was about to explode. Unexpectedly, he walked straight towards the latrine and crouched down.

Xia Xia saw this and immediately rushed up to stop him, "Do you want to pick it up with your hands"

Cao Yuan took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and shone it into the pipe. In the pitch-black water, he saw a pink phone case submerged. Cao Yuan frowned.

"You're crying, let me come over and check your phone model. I'll get you a new one." He looked at Xiaoxiao.

He didn't expect Xia's phone case to block the phone model.

He really couldn't understand how there could be such a thing as a phone case, and one that was so flashy and decorated.

Her eyes were red, as if she had really cried. In fact, she was frightened by Cao Yuan's intimidating presence when he interrogated her before.

"Oh well, it's okay. It wasn't intentional. I forgive you. It's just my phone is unlucky."

Cao Yuan: "..."

There's also this saying.

He stood up. Xiaoxia, wearing her dad shoes, only reached his chest. She was so tiny. The thought of her new phone falling into the pit filled her with a sense of injustice, as if she were being viewed through a filter of sadness.

Even someone like Lian Cao Yuan, a man who is known for being completely uninterested in women and straight as an arrow, softened his heart. "If you said you want compensation, then I'll compensate you," he said. "Come on, let's go to the mall and buy you a new one."

Xia Xia was surprised, “Now”

Are you in such a hurry

And...

"Is this it, the mall is closed"

Cao Yuan was still wearing a cold expression. "I have a way, just tell me the model number. You don't want to be without your phone tomorrow for work, do you You're in the project department, clients could call you at any time, aren't you worried"

Xia Xia listened to him speak for a whole paragraph, feeling both surprised and reasonable.

At another glance at Cao Yuan's face, I suddenly felt a surge of security.

She mumbled her phone model to him and, even more confused, walked with him towards the side door. Once in the car, she remembered that Fu Yan was still in the shop!

Cao Yuan had already anticipated her move and hit the center lock.

This move was taught to him by his older brother. other on the rooftop looked like something out of a dream. She often had bizarre dreams since she became pregnant.But she quickly remembered the scene before she fainted, she was drugged by that jani...
