Chapter 15: The Reincarnation of the Vinegar Spirit

"Sorry." It was Wen Chen.

"Duoduo, let go of your sister." Wen Chen squatted down and gently hugged the little girl. The little girl obviously didn't want to let go, but he quickly diverted her attention. "Dad bought you a new fairy tale picture book. Let's go upstairs and read it, okay?"

The little girl's hand loosened, and the man took the opportunity to pick her up and stand up, smiling apologetically at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin smiled back, walked to the sofa and sat down, drinking a glass of water, looking at Huo Sili who was here.

Wen Chen came over with Duo Duo in his arms. "The child is fussing about sleeping. Mr. Huo, please wait for me. I'll go up and coax her to sleep first."

Huo Sili nodded slightly, and Wen Chen looked at an older man who looked like a butler, and said, "Uncle Wen, entertain Mr. and Mrs. Huo." After that, he carried Duoduo into the elevator.

Jiang Qin, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised by the name "Mrs. Huo".

As far as she could remember, this seemed to be the first time she heard someone call her that.

But perhaps she no longer had the same love for Horsley as she did in the past, so when she heard this name now, she no longer felt the sweetness that she had expected to hear at the beginning.

Instead, he even felt a sense of disgust—Mrs. Huo, Horsley’s wife?

Haha, whoever wants to be the wife of a cheating scumbag can do so!

Jiang Qin didn't notice that when Wen Chen called her Mrs. Huo, Huo Sili's eyes, which had suddenly darkened when he saw her being hugged by the little girl and calling her mother, suddenly brightened up a lot.

While waiting, Jiang Qin continued to think about the important matter, and perhaps because she was touched by the cute little girl just now, Jiang Qin became more and more convinced in her heart that she really wanted to keep this child.

She knew she had made her choice, but before making the final decision, she still planned to take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up to be sure.

Jiang Qin checked Huo Sili's and her own work schedule, and thought about the ticket Xie Youan gave her, for which she didn't know the specific expiration date, and that she was going to treat Xie Youan to dinner next Wednesday night.

I have only temporarily marked out a few free times. I will have to wait until I return to Yunhai Huafu tonight, find the exhibition tickets, and then decide on the specific time.

Wen Chen coaxed Duoduo to sleep for nearly half an hour. When he came down, the man looked apologetic. Huo Sili didn't say anything and went straight to the point.

The terms of the project cooperation between the Huo and Wen companies had already been almost finalized, and Wen Chen and Huo Sili were good friends, so Jiang Qin was naturally not too worried.

Unexpectedly, the two talked for a whole hour and the contract had not been signed yet, and there was even a sign that the terms would continue to change.

This really surprised Jiang Qin, but since she was right next to them, she could naturally hear that it was Huo Sili who was being aggressive.

The conditions offered by Wen Chen were already very good, but Huo Sili, for some reason, had been aggressively reducing Wen's benefits since the beginning of the negotiations. Seeing that Wen Chen's face was obviously worse than before, Huo Sili's expression was still so serious that it made people feel cold.

At this time, the two of them just stopped talking after a verbal battle.

Jiang Qin stood up and poured two cups of hot tea. She placed one cup in front of Wen Chen and politely asked him to drink some tea to moisten his throat. She picked up the other cup and blew it gently before bringing it directly to Huo Sili's lips. She gently coaxed him, "Drink some?"

The invisible and intangible strange atmosphere that solidified in the hall instantly collapsed because of Jiang Qin's behavior.

Jiang Qin herself did not notice it until Huo Sili took the teacup from her hand. His serious expression obviously relaxed and he drank the tea.

At the same time, Wen Chen picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and put it back. His eyes fell on Huo Sili, and he said helplessly, "Children's words are not to be taken lightly. Mr. Huo, can we both take a step back?"

"The two conditions I just gave up belong to the Huo family. Consider this my apology to Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo for my daughter's nonsense."

Jiang Qin realized belatedly that it was because the little girl had called her "Mom" just now.

A chill slowly spread in her heart, so when Huo Sili heard Duoduo calling her like that just now, he thought that she might have an affair with Wen Chen? Or did Horsley really hate her having children?

There are two possibilities, no matter whether it is the former or the latter, Jiang Qin just finds it absurd.

However, after two years of high-intensity and large-scale work experience, Jiang Qin's professional qualities as the president's secretary are also quite good. Although she is already furious at the moment, her expression is absolutely impeccable.

It’s not too early, it’s almost five o’clock.

After signing the contract with changed terms, Wen Chen invited them to stay for dinner.

Dinner started at six o'clock. Perhaps because he was afraid that Duoduo would come downstairs after waking up and repeat the situation just now, Wen Chen personally took them to a suite in the backyard, served them exquisite afternoon tea, and invited them to rest here for a while.

She watched Wen Chen and several servants leave with a smile on her face. As soon as the door closed, the smile on Jiang Qin's face disappeared.

He sorted the documents in his hand in a businesslike manner, checked them and put them into a manila file bag.

I looked around, found a clean, open and dry place to temporarily put it and took a photo.

The moment he stood up after bending down, he realized that Huo Sili, who had sat on the sofa and taken a nap with his eyes closed after entering the room, was gone.

I was startled when I suddenly saw a shadow beside me. My heart beat faster and I turned around suddenly, "..."

Jiang Qin was somewhat speechless, "Why did you deliberately walk so quietly?"

She had no idea when he came up behind her.

Horsley smiled, "How do you know I did it on purpose?"

Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili's smile and really had no idea what he was laughing at. Was it fun to scare her?

Jiang Qin didn't have the time to pay attention to him. She glanced at him and the sofa he had just sat on. The soft leather surface looked very comfortable to sit on. "You're not going to sit here anymore?"

Horsley: "Do you want to sit?"

There was suddenly a strange noise at the door, and the young male voice that was heard earlier exclaimed "Fuck".

Jiang Qin looked over and saw Huo Sili raised his eyebrows slightly, strode to the door and opened it.

Sheng Zhan and another young man whom Jiang Qin had never met were standing at the door, looking awkward and ambiguous.

"Ha, Brother Huo... well, I just came to tell you that those things in the trunk of your car are gifts for Brother Wen Chen, right? I just moved them into his warehouse with a few people from the Wen family!"

Sheng Zhan stepped back and said, "Well, I didn't disturb you..."

Sheng Zhan blushed and glanced inside again, "You guys?"

Huo Sili raised his eyebrows slightly and looked back. Jiang Qin's cold and pretty face calmly avoided his gaze.

Huo Sili turned his head and looked at Sheng Zhan, who was half a head shorter than him. He raised his hand and patted Sheng Zhan's shoulder, then glanced at Qiu Zichen who was beside Sheng Zhan, "Don't you have class today? Are you skipping class again to take him out to play?"

The word "skipping class" controlled Qiu Zichen, and the young man hurriedly pulled Sheng Zhan away.

"Let's go, kids, don't get involved in adult matters!"

"Who the hell are you calling a kid? I'm twenty years old!" Sheng Zhan turned around and didn't seem to want to leave.

Horsley closed the door, blocking out the two people's loud voices.

Jiang Qin curled the corner of her mouth, and naturally realized that the two of them might have misunderstood something. She thought to herself that next time she should not talk too close to the door, because walls have ears, and outside the door also have ears.

I walked towards the sofa, intending to sit down and close my eyes to rest for a while.

Before he sat down, his cell phone rang. He took it out and froze.

Seeing that she held the phone in her hand for several seconds without any response, Huo Sili on the opposite side raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone was calm and without any ripples.

"Who's calling? Why don't you answer it?"
