Chapter 218 Conversation
Xu Qingsui's eyes instantly became moist.
She never had any illusions that he would apologize to her.
“It’s okay, Mr. Huo. It’s all over. I’ve never blamed you. As for Youyou…” She looked at the sleeping child and said gently, “I wanted to give birth to her on my own. It has nothing to do with you.”
The thing she regretted least in her life was giving birth to Xu Youyou.
The child accompanied her through the most difficult years. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how she would be able to slowly forget Huo Xilin during those nights without him.
Fortunately, it's all over. Time is the best medicine. Even though it's still in her heart and she may never truly forget it in her lifetime, she has let go of her obsession.
This is why she doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
Unfortunately, she could only keep these words in her heart and could not tell anyone, including Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin was afraid of waking up the little guy, so he closed the door and sat on the sofa in the living room: "Let's talk."
This was the first time since their reunion that he softened and spoke to her.
This surprised Xu Qingsui. He rarely resisted him and sat down opposite him obediently. "What does Mr. Huo want to talk to me about? If it's about remarriage, I don't think it's necessary. If it's about raising a child, I can raise Youyou with you. I've thought about it. The child really can't be without a father or a mother. What do you think?"
"Yes, a child cannot be without parents, but have you ever thought about it, if we don't remarry, and you find him a stepfather in the future, will he be able to accept it?"
Huo Xilin really couldn't accept that Xu Qingsui would be with another man one day.
Xu Qingsui was almost amused by his train of thought and said truthfully: "I don't plan to find someone else, so Xu Youyou won't have a stepfather."
Xu Qingsui didn't know what others would think, but once she had someone in her heart, she could never have room for a second one. She also couldn't accept being with someone she didn't love.
Otherwise, if Qin Fang had pursued her for so many years, she would have agreed long ago.
"Boss Huo, I'm different from you."
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. His smile was very pure, and it came from the bottom of his heart, and even made Xu Qingsui feel a hint of happiness from it.
She was very confused. Why did he laugh so happily just because of what she said? It was totally inexplicable.
"Are you blaming me for what happened to Yan Xisui?" Huo Xilin asked.
"Mr. Huo, I have never blamed you. I also know that the person you really care about has always been Miss Yan, and I am just her substitute."
From the very beginning, Xu Qingsui faced the reality. She had always been sober and rational. The only thing she couldn't control was her own heart.
It wasn't Huo Xilin's fault, he really helped her a lot.
"If I say that the person I really care about is you, would you believe it?" Huo Xilin asked.
His words were so sincere and his eyes were so genuine, it seemed like he wasn't lying.
Xu Qingsui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
"Boss Huo, do you believe what you said?"
Whether you care about someone or not is never shown in words, but in actions.
In the past, Xu Qingsui was deceived by Huo Xilin, but later, the matter of the Southern Project gave her a heavy blow, and he chose Yan Xisui over and over again.
And Xu Qingsui gradually gave up as he gave up again and again.
She no longer believed anything he said.
"Boss Huo, I know Miss Yan betrayed you, so you chose me again, but I don't want to be a spare tire, and I don't want to be anyone's substitute!"
Huo Xilin was about to say something when Xu Qingsui's phone rang. She took out the phone, took a look, and said, "Sorry, I'll go take a call."
After saying that, she walked towards the bathroom.
Huo Xilin looked at her back. It was an important call and she didn't want him to hear it.
After closing the door, Xu Qingsui answered the phone: "Brother Qin, what's the matter with you calling?"
"I heard that you met Huo Xilin?" Qin Fang asked straight to the point: "Did he take the child away?"
"Did Senior Brother Xu tell you?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"Don't worry about who told me, did Huo Xilin take the child away?"
Xu Qingsui sighed: "Yes, he already knows that Xu Youyou is his child."
"What does he want to do?" Qin Fang's tone was very bad. Over the years, he had never lost his temper in front of Xu Qingsui. Obviously, he was really angry this time.
Xu Qingsui didn't want to involve Qin Fang, so he said, "He is the father of the child. I can understand that he wants to fight for the child's custody..."
Without waiting for Xu Qingsui to finish his words, Qin Fang said angrily: "Xu Qingsui, are you stupid? Have you forgotten how you gave birth to Xu Youyou abroad? If it weren't for the advanced medical care, you would have almost died. It was a heavy hemorrhage! You have forgotten that he and Yan Xisui were going to get married and left you behind, right? Do you still want to continue your relationship with him?"
This was the first time Qin Fang got angry at her in all these years.
Xu Qingsui felt very uncomfortable. She remembered everything Qin Fang said. She didn't want to have anything to do with Huo Xilin anymore, and she didn't want to be hurt by him again. But for the sake of her child, did she have any choice?
In the face of absolute power, she was so vulnerable.
There was silence, deathly silence. For a long time, neither of them spoke.
Xu Qingsui really couldn't tell Qin Fang about her predicament, so she didn't know what she should say.
Qin Fang calmed down and realized that he had lost his composure: "Sorry, I didn't mean to be angry with you, I was just worried about you."
He explained to her.
Xu Qingsui's eyes were red: "Brother Qin, I know you are worried about me, I don't blame you."
"I've booked a flight to visit you tomorrow. Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."
After saying that, Qin Fang hung up the phone.
Xu Qingsui began to panic. She couldn't imagine what would happen between Qin Fang and Huo Xilin if they met.
The scene of her last meeting with Huo Xilin three years ago was still vivid in her mind, including the scene of him and Qin Fang wrestling with each other. Xu Qingsui was really afraid that it would happen again.
She quickly called Qin Fang back, but he didn't answer.
After staying in the bathroom for a long time, Xu Qingsui calmed down. The moment he opened the door, he found Huo Xilin leaning against the door frame, with his head down and an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Qingsui was startled: "Why are you here?"
Huo Xilin slowly raised his head and asked in a mocking tone: "Are you afraid that I will hear your conversation with Qin Fang?"
