Chapter 84: Secret But If It Continues...

But if he continued to hold her hand, would Xia Yiqing get bored and feel annoyed that his hand could never warm her up?

Even if he was lucky enough that Xia Yiqing didn't despise him, he himself was addicted to this feeling, so how could he deal with it?

Would he even send someone to custom-make a thing that is similar in shape and temperature to Xia Yiqing's hand, so that he could hold it in his palm all day long to comfort himself?

All kinds of thoughts mixed together, Qi Hanmu frowned fiercely, his face turned a little pale, his temples were stabbing with pain, and when he saw the wall next to him, he wanted to break free and crash into it.

Unfortunately, the girl's hand, which was of a pleasant temperature, was like a chain, not only trapping his hand, but also tightly binding his heart, making it impossible for him to move at all.

Being stared at by the girl's pair of sharp glasses, Qi Hanmu pursed his lips, which were slightly purple, and quietly moved his eyes to the side.

"No, it's uncomfortable."

The man's voice was hoarse, and his lips were slightly peeling. The most prominent feature of his body was probably his protruding collarbone.

If you stay in your room all day long, feeling depressed and inactive, you will not feel like eating. Over time, even if you can eat, you will tell yourself that you don’t want to eat anymore.

Qi Hanmu is a typical case of this.

Her stomach suddenly rumbled with hunger, and Xia Yiqing subconsciously pinched her fingertips with her nails, her face slightly red.

After a busy day at the company, I originally wanted to have dinner at Yiyuan, but I didn’t expect that before I got back, I was taken to attend the Chamber of Commerce.

There were also many things to eat at the Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately, Xia Yiqing had just finished her opening speech, stepped off the stage, and had not spoken to Su Huanhuan for long when she received a message from Qi Hanmu pretending to be sick.

Before Qi Hanmu's message arrived, Xia Yiqing had already searched for every corner with delicious food and prepared to eat.

But that message was so powerful that after it was sent, it seemed as if all the delicacies became unimportant. It seemed as if only one thought remained in Xia Yiqing's mind.

Go back and see him quickly.

The pair of emerald earrings were still dangling around her ears, but Xia Yiqing hadn't noticed it yet. The female doctor spoke first.

"And let me introduce myself. I'm the old lady's family doctor. Temporarily assigned only to see the Third Master. This, I presume, is the Madam?"

After saying this, a hint of panic clearly flashed across Qi Hanmu's eyes, but because he spoke so quickly, no one around him noticed.

He unconsciously gripped the bed sheet, holding it tightly until his fingertips turned white, but he refused to let go.

Will Xia Yiqing directly refuse and say that it has nothing to do with him?

Or maybe he could just tell the person the old lady sent to inquire that they had only agreed to get married, and now that the agreement had expired, the two of them were only staying with each other because of a little bit of affection.

No matter what the outcome, Qi Hanmu found that he had no way to intervene.

He can intervene in financial matters, and even when it comes to power, he can give it up.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, you can't force it.

To like someone is to like them, to love someone is to love them. Qi Hanmu is particularly stubborn in these aspects. Once he makes up his mind, he will never look back, even if he is bruised all over, he will be happy with it.

But in fact, there is a difference between a feeling that can be responded to and a feeling that has no response in a lifetime.

Xia Yiqing responded tonight. When he was feeling bad, she was willing to rush back to Yiyuan. However, Qi Hanmu found himself ashamed that after his clumsy trick was not discovered, he actually wanted to deceive her a second and third time.

So when Xia Yiqing was still considering how to answer, the man lying on the bed suddenly spoke.

"Are you hungry? Let Butler Qi take you downstairs and have something to eat."

Xia Yiqing's eyes rolled, and an idea came to her mind. She stood up from beside Qi Hanmu, let go of Qi Hanmu's hand, and looked at the female doctor, "Third Master needs to rest, let's go downstairs and talk."

The moment Xia Yiqing let go of his hand, all kinds of worries seemed to surge into his heart, but he didn't know what kind of discomfort it was. It was just that his heart suddenly felt empty, and was pulled down by the feeling of weightlessness.

Does it hurt? I seem to be used to it.

But, can you really get used to it?

Qi Hanmu found that he couldn't even give an answer to this question.

He really wanted to deceive himself. Xia Yiqing had already given him so much, so why should he be unsatisfied?

But there is no way, he seems to be easily obsessed and unsatisfied in these aspects.

He wanted to hold her hand.

Since she can hold his hand, can she also take the initiative to get closer to him?

Will she be like other women and kiss her beloved man back emotionally?

If so, then she might also be able to take the initiative to kiss him.

But unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the fantasy is, reality is still like a sharp sword, which cuts off the fog of delusion in people's hearts without hesitation and lets the real sunshine in.

The incandescent light blurred his vision, and it was not until Luo Miao took something and slowly wiped the corners of his eyes that Qi Hanmu realized that he was crying.

"Go watch down there, cough cough," Qi Hanmu pressed his hand against his chest and once again felt the feeling of almost being unable to breathe.

"Don't let her know anything that shouldn't be said. Don't let bad things about the lady get to the old lady."

Luo Miao bowed, left this sweet prison, opened the door and walked out. The heavy door closed silently, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

Outside, the cold moonlight poured in. Tonight's moon was truly like a white jade plate, hanging high in the sky, unwilling to be obscured by layers of clouds.

Facing the full moon, Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He took a deep breath, put his hands together, and placed his fingertips on his eyebrows.

If there really is a God in this world, please let his little girl live a smooth and carefree life, no matter what the price is.

Even if they suddenly encounter misfortune and die young.

Or he would be bedridden for the rest of his life and never be able to win Xia Yiqing's heart.

First floor.

While Xia Yiqing was eating, the female doctor did not pick up her chopsticks, but sat politely beside her and waited. When Xia Yiqing looked at her, she smiled back.

Silently giving the old lady a few points for being a spy, Xia Yiqing finished the last bite, wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, and her eyes curved up.

"I want to ask, has the old lady found another marriage partner for the Third Master?"

Xia Yiqing has always been very clear that her agreement to marry Qi Hanmu was not only because she felt she was not worthy of him, but also because Qi Hanmu probably played a significant role in it.

In other words, the marriage agreement was also Qi Hanmu's idea.

As the head of a large family, Qi Hanmu's behavior is understandable.

What's more, Xia Yiqing did not give birth to a child for him in these three years.

When the old lady comes back from abroad, she will most likely ask about her grandson's recent relationship situation. Xia Yiqing tried her best to make the corners of her mouth less stiff, but she didn't know that this smile looked too bitter.

She repeatedly comforted herself, and under the table, she pinched the back of her hand with her fingers. The force was not small, and because she did not deliberately control it, there were already several red marks.

But Xia Yiqing acted as if she didn't feel anything. She still had a smile on her face and looked extremely gentle and polite.

"No," the female doctor said in a firm voice, her every spit was like a nail, making it easy to believe.

"The old lady has never thought of interfering too much in the affairs of the Third Master. The old lady will not interfere with who the Third Master wants to find."

Her mind suddenly went blank. Xia Yiqing knew that she must look a little confused at this moment, but she didn't want to say anything hurtful, so she just let her lips and tongue speak.

"Then... does the Third Master have someone he likes now?"

The female doctor was also dumbfounded. "If the old lady knew, she wouldn't have sent me to investigate. Logically speaking, you are the one who knows Mr. San the best."

The person who understands him best?

Xia Yiqing opened and closed her lips, but found that she had not uttered a single word.

It seemed as if they had never spoken to each other openly, and the exchange just now upstairs was not sincere.

She didn't tell Qi Hanmu why she came back, and Qi Hanmu avoided her gaze and didn't say anything to ask her to stay or to drive her away.

Both of them seemed to be running away from something.

The result was that the two people met and talked, but it seemed that the core point was not touched at all.

After seeing the female doctor off, Xia Yiqing suddenly felt a little confused.

Like a wandering ghost, she moved into the room next to Qi Hanmu's master bedroom under the arrangement of Butler Qi. This was the place where she always hid and rested after Qi Hanmu got drunk.

When the warm water poured on her body, Xia Yiqing shuddered and blinked her eyes. Every pore seemed to be trembling and crying out.

There is an impulse that surges from the bottom of my heart.

Xia Yiqing clenched her left hand into a fist, slammed it against the wall, and slowly lowered her head.

How she wanted to rush to the master bedroom next door and ask whether the two of them were together or parted ways.

No matter which choice you make, it seems that you will regret it, and you will unconsciously look forward to the other one.

After changing into pajamas and sitting on the edge of the bed, Xia Yiqing took a deep breath. Just as she was about to toss a coin or look up some divination online to decide whether or not to explain things to Qi Hanmu, a message popped up.

"Miss Xia, now that the old lady has returned, you plan to reconcile with Qi Hanmu quickly. Am I right?"

Xia Yiqing didn't have this phone number saved at all.

The receiving page is also very clean, with nothing else except this message.

Xia Yiqing's heart almost jumped into her throat.

Judging from the tone, if she was not mistaken, and if her intuition was reliable, this person would most likely be the same person who had asked her to go to Quanshanju not long ago and told her Qi Hanmu's secret.

That person kept pursuing her, still posting, "Don't you really know why he doesn't dare to be with you openly?"

She subconsciously wanted to refute that Qi Hanmu was just a little introverted and was not completely without feelings towards her.

But when her fingers touched the phone keyboard and she was about to type, a feeling of confusion still attacked Xia Yiqing.

Does Qi Hanmu really have feelings for her?

If so, what can prove it.

For her, he would rather take risks and use his body to replace Xia Yiqing's bomb.

I guess so.

In fact, only the person involved in the relationship can understand what it feels like. Others either make sarcastic remarks or make guesses based on their own experience.

With this mood, Xia Yiqing planned to block this number.

However, the next sentence that person sent made her stop her fingers and frown.
