Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey - Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Elevator Accident
“Tiantian, this is the Huotian Corporation. Will we really be able to walk in there? We might get kicked out as soon as we enter.” Ye Anxin glanced at the Huotian Corporation building. There were at least 30 floors, and, on the first floor, there was a doorman outside the gates, a front desk inside, and many Huotian Corporation employees going in and out. She felt that if the two of them went in like this, they would definitely be thrown out.
“I’m so cute, how could they bear to kick me out? If you’re afraid, then follow behind me.” As he said that, he grabbed Ye Anxin’s hand. Disregarding her objections, he dragged her toward the Huotian Corporation’s front door.
When the doorman guarding the door saw him, he grinned and was about to bend over to greet him, but Huo Jiantian glared at him to stop him greeting him.
When the glamorously dressed woman at the front desk saw him, her eyes flashed brightly. She walked over with a smile and waved at him. Huo Jiantian pretended he didn’t see her and headed straight for the President’s exclusive elevator.
Ye Anxin followed Huo Jiantian in, and she’d noticed the woman at the front desk who had waved at him and was now looking awkward because he hadn’t responded, and she asked tentatively, “Tiantian, they seem to know you here.”
Huo Jiantian entered the elevator, pressed a floor, and said matter-of-factly, “My father works here, and I come here to see my father whenever I have time, so of course they know me.”
Ye Anxin got out of the elevator and said, “Since they all know you, then it proves that you’re not lost here. In that case, I’m going to go back to school now.”
Huo Jiantian placed his hands on his hips and said mischievously, “Ugh, why are you nagging me so much? Since you’ve already come all the way here, I have to let my father thank you personally. Otherwise…wouldn’t I seem too ungrateful?”
“No need! I didn’t bring you here specifically so that your dad could thank me.” Ye Anxin waved her hand, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Unfortunately, after taking just two steps, she heard Huo Jiantian’s woeful, pitiful voice echoing from the elevator. “Ah…if you want to go, then just go. I have no parents to love me anyway. My dad is busy with work every day and has no time to care about me, and my mother died a long time ago. I don’t even know what my mother looked like. Have pity on me. I have been alone ever since I was a baby… You can go. Although there are many elevator accidents these days, I believe I’ll be lucky enough not to encounter one. Even if I encounter one, it won’t be any of your concern. They will find someone to fix it right away anyway. I’m not afraid of being stranded in the elevator all alone… I’m used to it anyway.”
The more he spoke, the more pitiful his tone became. Now it had gotten to the point where if Ye Anxin didn’t take him up, she would seem like a heartless villain.
“Okay, okay! I’ll take you up there. I’m already here anyway, so I might as well take you all the way up.” In the end, Ye Anxin was defeated by this little boy, and she got on the elevator.
While Ye Anxin wasn’t paying attention, Huo Jiantian smiled to himself, and his eyes gleamed with a smug expression. His Machiavellian plan had succeeded.
The elevator went directly all the way up to the top floor.
All Ye Anxin’s attention was on Huo Jiantian just now. She hadn’t paid attention to which floor he’d pressed. Only when getting off the elevator did Ye Anxin realize that she had actually reached the top floor of the Huotian Corporation.
If she remembered correctly, the top floor of all companies contained the offices of the companies’ highest-ranking executives.
