She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 816

As there were guests present, I immediately stood up and walked out with my cell phone to answer the call.

"Xiao Ye, what's going on? Is Sister Min feeling better?" I have been concerned about Sister Min and Mr. Yuan.

Xiao Ye's voice was slightly hoarse, revealing a sense of fatigue: "It's okay, I'm much better now, baby sister, are you still at Aunt Zhang's house? I'll pick you up later."

Even though he was so tired, he still remembered to pick me up.

How could I bear it? I feel so sorry for him.

So I stopped him immediately: "Why don't you just not come, Xiaoye, you're too tired today, take a good rest, we'll meet tomorrow and it'll be the same."

There was nothing special about the meeting. I guess Ono just wanted to see me and then send me home.

But I can go home by myself.

On the other end of the phone, before Xiao Ye could even start to speak, there was a pair of feet beside me, and Zhao Feihan's voice rang out: "Poor little thing, who's calling?"

I didn't expect Zhao Feihan to follow me out. I was startled by his voice and immediately put away my phone. I turned around and said with a smile, "No one, a friend called. Brother Zhao, why are you out?"

Xiaoye is too jealous, especially after Zhao Feihan had dinner at Xiaoye's house last night. Xiaoye was obviously on guard against Zhao Feihan, fearing that Zhao Feihan would poach her.

In order not to worry Xiao Ye, I hung up the phone the moment Zhao Feihan opened his mouth to speak.

If Xiao Ye knew that Zhao Feihan was at his godmother's house, if he knew that Zhao Feihan was by my side at this moment, he would definitely be anxious.

Hang up the phone first and explain to him later.

"I came out to get some fresh air and smoke a cigarette." Zhao Feihan's eyes fell on my face. Although he still had a smile on his face, there were surging waves in his eyes.

Deep desire.

It's like a hunter seeing the most delicious prey.

This look made me more frightened. I immediately avoided his gaze and tried to make my smile look as natural as possible: "Okay."

In front of him, I felt more and more uncomfortable, as if I was being watched, and this feeling made me want to escape even more.

It seems that the further away I am from him, the further away I will be from danger.

But before I could leave, Zhao Feihan called me again: "Poor little thing."

"What's wrong, Brother Zhao?" I could walk away calmly, but I couldn't ignore Zhao Feihan's greeting.

I stopped and looked at him, keeping a smile on my face, but my fingers involuntarily clenched around the phone.

He followed me out alone, then called me to stop and continue to be alone with him. What was he trying to do?

My heart was pounding. Facing Zhao Feihan's deep smiling eyes, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

No.

Don't say that.

If I really say it out, our relationship will become awkward in the future. I don’t want the story between Yan Dong and I to be repeated between Zhao Feihan and me.

"Poor little thing." Zhao Feihan's lips moved.

He looked at me deeply, his eyes became deeper and deeper, but the smile on the corners of his lips gradually faded.

My heart stopped beating. At that moment, everything around me was still and silent, except for the prayer in my heart.

Brother Zhao, don’t say anything.

But God didn't seem to hear my prayers. Contrary to my wishes, Zhao Feihan still spoke: "Can you light a cigarette for me?"

“No, Brother Zhao, we…” My brain went blank and I blurted out before I finished listening to Zhao Feihan’s words.

I realized something was wrong halfway through my words and became even more flustered: "No, no, of course I'm willing to light a cigarette for Brother Zhao."

It turned out that Zhao Feihan stopped me just to ask me to light a cigarette for him.

I was worrying too much and I mistakenly thought that he was going to confess his love to me. It ended up being such a misunderstanding. It was so embarrassing.

My face was so hot that I dared not look Zhao Feihan in the eye. I grabbed the lighter from Zhao Feihan's palm in a panic, and struck it several times before a flame came out. I tremblingly handed the light to Zhao Feihan.

But I was still standing some distance away from Zhao Feihan, so the flame couldn't reach the cigarette butt, so I could only take a step forward.

At the same time, Zhao Feihan also took half a step towards me, and I was caught off guard and bumped into his arms.

A light, fresh scent and an unusually large and strong embrace.

So strange.

The collision made me panic and nervous. I stepped back subconsciously, lost my balance and fell sideways.

"Be careful." Zhao Feihan stretched out his arm in time and wrapped it around my waist.

It stopped me from falling, but made my heart beat even faster and more panicked.

What's wrong with me today? The busier I am, the more confused I feel, and the more mistakes I make.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhao. It's my fault. I didn't stand firmly." I used my remaining calm to steady myself, stood firmly on my feet, took a half step back, turned on the fire again, and walked towards Zhao Feihan.

Zhao Feihan is very tall. I, who am considered tall among women, look like a bean sprout in front of him.

I held the fire, kept my arms steady, and looked up at him: "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Feihan lowered his head, and brought his fingers holding the cigarette closer to the flame, but he was not in a hurry to light the cigarette. The flames illuminated his eyes, and he looked at me with a smile in his eyes: "Poor little thing, you seem to be afraid of me."

Not only did he lower his head, he also bent slightly, and his flaming eyes looked at me quietly, intently and deeply.

I suddenly realized that the distance between us was still too close, so close that I could smell his faint fresh scent, so close that if I moved a little closer I would touch his chin.

Although his hand had left my waist, he did not retract it. It remained in the original position, hanging there loosely, maintaining the hug.

He must have been afraid that I would fall again, so he took this preventive action.

But in this way, he seemed to have me in his arms again.

Such distance, such action, such look, make the air ambiguous.

My heart, which had just calmed down a little, became flustered again and I was so nervous that I couldn't speak.

Really scared.

I was indeed starting to be afraid of Zhao Feihan.

I was afraid that he would say something to me that he shouldn't, and I was also afraid that he would use the grace of saving my life to kidnap me and demand repayment for the favor.

I am also afraid that our relationship will be like mine and Yan Dong, which has gone from being good friends to just casual acquaintances, and will never be able to go back to the beginning.

But I couldn’t say it, I didn’t know how to respond to Zhao Feihan.

The deadlock was not broken until a soft laugh came from behind me.

"So Mr. Zhao is out looking for Miss Meng. Am I showing up inappropriately and interrupting you?"

It was Hu Mengdie's laughter.

She was apologizing, but there was no apology in her tone.

But I didn't mind at all. Instead, I was full of gratitude to her.

If she hadn't shown up in time, I don't know what I would have done next.

"How could that be? Miss Hu, you came at the right time. Brother Zhao asked me to help light a cigarette, but I can't do it well. Can you please do it for me?"
