Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Chapter 185 An Accidental Encounter with Xiling Yiyao

On the second day of Zhan Jinxi's boxing practice, because Wen Zijin had something to do at her company, she asked Huo Kong to take her for the day.

When Zhan Jinxi arrived, Huo Kong had already arrived and seemed to have been waiting for quite a while.

"You must be Huo Kongye, the one my sister-in-law was talking about." Zhan Jinxi looked at Huo Kongye with some surprise.

"Hmm." Huo Kong also leaned against the edge of the ring, his eyes lowered as he put on his boxing gloves, his attitude indifferent yet somewhat distant.

"Hey, we've met before, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Zhan Jinxi sat next to him.

Huo Kong also looked up and turned to look at her.

Okay, I probably don't remember.

"That's right, when I was being chased by haters, my sister-in-law saved me, and you were sitting in the passenger seat," Zhan Jinxi said.

"Hmm." Huo Kong remembered as well, then looked away and gave a faint "hmm."

Huo Kongye's aloofness and indifference left Zhan Jinxi speechless, and the two remained silent.

Huo Kong also put on his boxing gloves, and with a light leap, he stepped onto the ring in a cool and smooth manner. He bent down, picked up the boxing gloves from the ground, and threw them to Zhan Jinxi, saying, "Put them on and come up here."

Zhan Jinxi caught the boxing gloves, put them on, and went into the ring.

Huo Kong taught very seriously and responsibly, and Zhan Jinxi also studied very diligently. She could learn every move Huo Kong taught her in just one go.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Wen Zijin had ordered a large meal for them in advance.

The two sat facing each other at a round table, eating lunch.

"Hey, what do you do? You're so skilled." Zhan Jinxi asked curiously while eating.

"It's none of your business. I'm only responsible for completing the tasks assigned to me by the boss. I have no obligation to answer anything else." Huo Kong still maintained a cold and unapproachable demeanor.

Zhan Jinxi looked at Huo Kongye, and from his eyes, she could tell that this man had a story.

"Then why do you call my sister-in-law 'boss'?" Zhan Jinxi couldn't help but ask again.

Even though she knew he wouldn't answer, she was just curious and wanted to know everything about him.

"I am her man." Huo Kong said this without the slightest hesitation, and with such sincerity.

"puff..."

Huo Kongye's casual remark almost made Zhan Jinxi choke.

"Are you alright?" Huo Kong looked up at her and asked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhan Jinxi waved his hand.

"She saved me, and I've been working under her ever since." Huo Kong didn't know why, but fearing that Zhan Jinxi might misunderstand, he remained silent for a few seconds before finally choosing to explain.

"Oh." Zhan Jinxi nodded.

The atmosphere remained tense for a few minutes.

"Why do you call me 'boss' and 'sister-in-law'?" Huo Kongye asked first.

"She is my elder brother's wife."

"Didn't they get divorced?"

"Not yet. My older brother tricked my sister-in-law; the divorce agreement is fake," Zhan Jinxi said with a smile.

Huo Kong didn't say anything more.

Don't you like cilantro?

Zhan Jinxi watched as Huo Kong also picked out all the cilantro from his bowl and asked.

"Ah."

"Then give it to me, I like to eat it."

As Zhan Jinxi spoke, he picked up the cilantro that Huo Kongye had also chosen, saying, "My little niece also loves cilantro. Cilantro is so delicious, how come you don't like it?"

Huo Kong was also somewhat shocked by Zhan Jinxi's actions.

The young lady of the prestigious Zhan Group actually ate the cilantro she picked out herself.

Zhan Jinxi didn't think that much about it. When she was little, her adoptive parents were poor and she often went hungry, so she cherished food very much.

After all, there are still many people in this world who don't have enough to eat. Even if they are wealthy, they shouldn't waste food.

"Hey, let me tell you, my little niece is incredibly cute and absolutely gorgeous. If you have time, I'll introduce you to her." Zhan Jinxi said, excitedly showing off her little niece.

In this world, her little niece is the cutest, most beautiful, and best-in-class child in every way—of course, this is only in a positive sense.

Watching Zhan Jinxi talk about her little niece with great relish, Huo Kong could tell that she really loved her little niece.

"Hey, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Zhan Jinxi asked.

"I've said before, I have no obligation to answer questions outside of training." Huo Kong continued eating, without even looking up.

Um... she thought they had become friends, but it seems she was overthinking it.

After finishing his meal, Zhan Jinxi took the empty lunchbox outside to throw away the trash.

There were no trash cans at the entrance; she had to walk across the street to find one.

After throwing away the trash, Zhan Jinxi turned to return to the training ground, but a surprised voice suddenly rang out behind her, "Jinxi."

Zhan Jinxi turned his head and saw Xiling Yiyao walking towards him with a smile.

Behind her were several socialites who were shopping with her.

"Jinxi, what a coincidence! What are you doing here? Are you alone? Would you like to come with us?" Xiling Yiyao affectionately linked arms with Zhan Jinxi, her intention to ingratiate herself quite obvious.

"No need, you can explore on your own." Zhan Jinxi withdrew her hand and turned to leave.

"Have you eaten yet? We just finished shopping and were about to go eat. Do you want to come with us?"

"no need."

"It's okay. If you're not used to Western food or don't know how to use cutlery, that's fine too. Everyone has things they haven't seen before, so no one will laugh at you." Xi Ling Yi Yao raised her voice a little.

The girls behind him exchanged glances and chuckled softly.

"I said I'm not going, and that means I'm not going. Can't you understand human language? Do you want me to teach you? If you keep talking nonsense, my fists aren't to be trifled with." Zhan Jinxi raised his fist, exuding a roguish air, and threatened.

“You…” Xi Lingyi looked at Zhan Jinxi, somewhat shocked.

That country bumpkin is so arrogant.

"What do you mean 'you'? Get lost, don't force me to take action!"

"Jinxi, I just wanted to get closer to you. After all, our families have a good relationship. Did I say something wrong just now? Are you angry? You can tell me, it's okay." Xiling Yiyao stood in front of Zhan Jinxi, looking gentle and weak.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think Zhan Jinxi was bullying her.

"I don't want to get close to you, get out of my way." Zhan Jinxi's attitude was resolute and unwavering.

"I……"

Why does it take so long to throw away the trash?

Xi Ling Yi Yao was about to say something when she was interrupted by the voice behind her.

"I've run into a leech." Zhan Jinxi glanced coldly at Xiling Yiyao.

Huo Kong glanced indifferently at Xiling Yiyao and said to Zhan Jinxi, "You go back first."

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me," Zhan Jinxi warned, then left.

Xi Lingyi watched Zhan Jinxi leave and wanted to chase after him, but Huo Kong was standing right next to her, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

She was afraid that if she took a step, the other person would pull out a gun and shoot her.

Not long after Zhan Jinxi left, Huo Kong turned around and followed him.
