Chapter 175 Don't Want
This is the first bouquet of flowers Huo Xilin gave her. Is it a beginning and also an end?
The flower language of hyacinth has two meanings. One is the one written by Huo Xilin on the card: regain the light of hope and enjoy life. The other is: reborn love and forget the past.
Was he using this bouquet of flowers to implicitly tell her that their relationship was over?
She had been looking forward to this day, but when the moment finally came, she felt as if her backbone had been taken away and she became a little dazed.
She forced a smile and said to Huo Xilin: "Thank you for the flowers. I like them very much."
She disguised herself so well that even her eyes that were curved like crescent moons shone like stars. However, Huo Xilin was stunned when he saw it.
"Alright, alright, you two are showing your affection, but can you please choose a place where there's no one around? At least be considerate of our feelings." Lin Wan broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
After this reminder, the two of them awkwardly turned their gaze away. By the time Xu Di changed his clothes, Huo Xilin had already booked a restaurant online, and the group got into Huo Xilin's car.
Brother Xu hadn't been out for a long time. Seeing the lively scene in the restaurant, his depressed heart was relieved.
After checking Huo Xilin's order, the waiter led the four people to a private room. The environment inside was very elegant, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling atmosphere in the hall.
Xu Di asked somewhat disappointedly: "Can we eat in the hall? It's too quiet in here. I want to feel the lively atmosphere."
Xu Qingsui was worried that Xu Di's body could not withstand the noise, so when he looked into his expectant eyes, he could not say no.
"Just have this one meal, it's okay, sister, please, please..." Xu Di knew that Xu Qingsui was worried about his health, but he had been in the hospital for too long, and the doctor also said that he was recovering very well now, so it would be fine in just one meal.
Xu Qingsui sighed, and finally gave in to Xu Di's constant nagging.
"Then let's go eat outside." Xu Qingsui said to Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin had already learned about Brother Xu's condition from the doctor, so he did not object. Instead, he said to the waiter, "Then please arrange a seat for us in the hall, by the window."
"Okay, everyone, please follow me." The waiter made a gesture of invitation and led the four people to sit down against the wall in the hall.
"The food here tastes pretty good. The main thing is that the ingredients are very healthy. The vegetables are organic, and the poultry is purchased from the countryside." Huo Xilin handed the menu to Xu Qingsui: "Take a look, what do you want to eat."
"Let's have a mushroom soup base." After Xu Qingsui checked some dishes, he let Lin Wan and Xu Di choose.
Lin Wan held the menu and discussed in a low voice with Xu Di, head to head. Xu Qingsui sat opposite them, looking at their loving and harmonious scene with sincere envy and blessings.
Many people cannot obtain such ordinary happiness in their entire lives. My brother is unfortunate, but also lucky.
But what about her happiness?
Xu Qingsui subconsciously turned her head to look at Huo Xilin, only to find that he was also staring at her intently.
She lowered her head in panic. For some reason, she didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
In her ears, amidst the bustling noise, there was a hint of low laughter. Huo Xilin suddenly approached her and asked in her ear, "You haven't seen me for so many days. Do you miss me?"
She wanted to, but she would rather not.
So she said, “No!”
"real?"
"Um."
"I don't believe it."
Xu Qingsui raised his head suddenly, with some resentment: "Do I have to miss you? You have Miss Yan by your side. Maybe to you, I am just a spice in your life. When you are bored, you come to tease me and throw me aside after teasing. Even so, do I have to keep you in my mind?"
A trace of embarrassment and awkwardness flashed across Huo Xilin's face, and he stammered, "I'm sorry."
"Sister, what happened between you and brother-in-law?" Brother Xu noticed that something was wrong with the two and asked quickly.
Fortunately, the complaint just now was not loud, so I guess Brother Xu didn’t hear it clearly.
She didn't want Xu Di to know what happened between her and Huo Xilin.
Without waiting for her to speak, Huo Xilin said quickly: "It's okay, your sister is complaining that I was away on business for too long and neglected her. It is indeed my fault this time. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
The previous words were all false, but the three words "I'm sorry" came from the bottom of Huo Xilin's heart.
"Sister, is this really the case?" Xu Di asked in disbelief.
Xu Qingsui nodded and walked down the steps of Huo Xilin: "Well, okay, you little kid don't understand."
Just at this moment, the waiter came up with the pot base, and the dishes were served to the table one after another.
When Xu Qingsui was preparing the ingredients, she saw a person coming in through the door, and that person happened to look at her. The moment their eyes met, Xu Qingsui subconsciously frowned.
It was Yan Xisui, and she was holding a man's arm.
The moment Xu Qingsui saw her, she quickly put down her arm.
Huo Xilin noticed that something was wrong with Xu Qingsui, and followed her gaze, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.
Yan Xisui winked at the man next to her, signaling him to leave.
Just as the man was leaving, Huo Xilin said, "Master Qin, how are you?"
The man's steps on his way out suddenly stopped where he was, then he walked towards Huo Xilin and held out his hand: "Mr. Huo, I've heard a lot about you."
"Is this...having dinner with friends?" Huo Xilin asked hypocritically.
Yan Xisui quickly explained: "Brother Lin, the great benefactor I told you about before is Mr. Qin. He is here on a business trip this time, so I will treat him to a meal and thank him for his care back then."
"It's my duty. Actually, I should be the one treating you for this meal." Huo Xilin called the waiter and booked another table in the private room.
"Young Master Qin, please come in." Huo Xilin said to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei glanced at Xu Qingsui, who was sitting next to Huo Xilin, with some inquiry in his eyes, and then reluctantly followed the waiter to the box.
Yan Xisui glared at Xu Qingsui fiercely, then quickly took Huo Xilin's arm and said, "Brother Lin, let's go."
Huo Xilin dodged Yan Xisui's hand calmly and said, "Take good care of Young Master Qin first, I'll be there soon."
Seeing that Huo Xilin's face looked really bad, Yan Xisui could only obey him and leave with Qin Wei.
"I'll go take care of it. Wait for me to come back." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui and followed him.
