Zhao Sijia called Lou Xiao's phone, but it rang for a long time and no one answered. When she was about to give up, the phone finally got through and she heard Lou Xiao's cold voice.

"Miss Zhao? What's the matter?"

Zhao Sijia had long been used to him saying her name because he had helped her a lot, so she didn't take it seriously, and only regarded it as Lou Xiao's preference. Feeling wronged, she whispered to Lou Xiao about what had happened.

Lou Xiao had just finished a meeting and walked into his office. He frowned when he heard her disappointed tone. He pushed the speaker button and put it down on the desktop, then turned on his computer and started working.

The secretary behind him didn't move her eyebrows at all because she was used to doing things quietly. She placed the documents she was holding in her arms on Lou Xiao's right side one by one, made him a cup of coffee, and then silently walked out.

At first, she thought that the boss liked Zhao Sijia, but after half a year, the boss was still as before. There was no sign of fascination, and he was still as indifferent to everyone like an asexual. She didn't know why the boss was willing to take care of Zhao Sijia, but Zhao Sijia couldn't be her boss's wife anyway.

Zhao Sijia spoke for a long time, but didn't hear a response and didn't care, and asked, "Brother Lou Xiao, do you think I need to go to the hospital to see Huo Wei?"

"No." Lou Xiao replied concisely and forcefully. Huo Wei had already indicated that she didn't want to see her. She would only cause trouble for others if she went to the hospital, and she would not be happy, so there was no need to go.

Zhao Sijia felt that Huo Ming wanted her to go to the hospital and wanted her to apologize. After all, they left Huo Wei behind. But she felt that she was right and didn't want to go. Now that Lou Xiao said so simply that she didn't need to go, she finally felt better.

She said again: "Huo Wei is admitted to the hospital. Mother Huo will definitely come over and she will definitely scold me. I don't know how Huo Wei will make trouble this time. I really can't stand her anymore. I never provoked her. Her character is too bad."

Lou Xiao stared at the financial statements on the screen, quickly scrolling through them, and said as usual: "Move out if you are unhappy at the Huo's house."

Zhao Sijia laughed. When she first heard Lou Xiao say this, she was still very uncomfortable. She lived in the Huo family and was taken care of by the Huo family. She had such a good life. Should she move out to live the same life as before? This seemed ironic to her.

But when she asked Lou Xiao angrily where she would move to, Lou Xiao said that she could help her buy the house where she and her mother had lived for more than ten years. After she was shocked, she felt that Lou Xiao had given her a way out, telling her that whenever she left the Huo's house, she could ask him for help.

So now she felt at ease when she heard these words. After six months of getting along, she already trusted Lou Xiao very much. If Huo Wei was a nuisance, she would move out. She had to make it clear to Huo Ming that they have known each other for a year, and she needed to know if he wanted to be with her or just play with her. She was definitely not only the Huo family's choice.

Lou Xiao was her confidant. They knew each other since childhood, and he was so kind to her. She didn't need to be wronged in the Huo family. If it hadn't been for her and Lou Xiao to recognize each other in the past six months, she would never have entered the Huo's company.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Sijia felt more comfortable. She glanced at the time and realized that it was too late. She embarrassedly said, "Lou Xiao, did I disturb your rest? I won't bother you anymore. You should go to bed."
