Chapter 230 Date
Aunt Wang quickly peeled the boiled egg and brought it in: "Madam, this is a folk remedy from our hometown. Rolling this egg back and forth on the bruise will help to disperse the bruise."
Xu Qingsui obediently raised her face and let Aunt Wang roll the hot egg on her face. The feeling was both painful and comfortable, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.
After Aunt Wang finished, Xu Qingsui asked, "Aunt Wang, is it obvious?"
Aunt Wang nodded and said, "It will take at least a week or two for a bruise like this to disappear. You should think about how to explain it to Mr. Huo."
Xu Qingsui lay on the bed in dejection, and even Aunt Wang could see her worry.
"Madam, I will pick up the young master from school this afternoon. You can rest at home." Aunt Wang made her a cup of tea, brought it in and said.
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "I'm taking a day off today, so I'll go pick it up. I'll have to trouble Aunt Wang when I go to work."
Aunt Wang shook her head: "You are too polite, ma'am. This is what I should do. It's not hard."
When going out in the afternoon, Xu Qingsui put on makeup for a rare occasion. She applied a layer of concealer on the bruise, then covered it with liquid foundation and loose powder. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that there was no abnormality.
Huo Xilin called and knew that Xu Qingsui was going to pick up the children. He said, "I'll pick you up. I'll go out to eat tonight."
"Okay, then I'll tell Aunt Wang not to cook." Xu Qingsui hung up the phone, changed his clothes and went out to say to Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, you can get off work. We won't eat at home today."
Aunt Wang lives in the next neighborhood, so she goes back there every day.
This house was given to Aunt Wang by Huo Xilin. For the two of them, theirs is not just an ordinary employment relationship. After years of living together, they have become family members.
After meeting Xu Qingsui and her mother, Huo Xilin was surprised to find that she had put on makeup today.
Xu Qingsui seldom wears makeup because she has excellent skin. Without makeup, she is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water. But with makeup on, she has a hint of charm, which is simply a killer look for Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin took the opportunity to fasten her seat belt and quickly kissed her on the lips, whispering, "Did you put on makeup specially for me?"
Xu Qingsui's ears felt a little hot and she didn't know how to answer this question, so she simply remained indifferent.
Seeing her like this, Huo Xilin agreed.
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
Xu Qingsui: “…”
"I didn't do anything," she said innocently.
"Have my brother and sister-in-law gotten off work?" Huo Xilin suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingsui asked in confusion, "You should be off work now, why are you asking about this?"
"I want to send my son over. Let's go on a date tonight. It's been a while since I've spent some time alone with you."
Xu Qingsui glared at him speechlessly: "Your son is sitting right behind you, aren't you afraid that he will be sad if he hears it?"
Huo Xilin simply turned around and asked Xu Youyou, "How about sending you to your uncle's house today? Daddy and Mommy can spend time together alone to develop their relationship."
Xu Qingsui hit him and turned around quickly: "Your father lied to you, don't listen to his nonsense."
"If Dad and Mom want to be alone, I can go to my uncle's house." Xu Youyou said sensibly.
"You're so good." Huo Xilin praised generously, "You're worthy of being my son. Dad loves you."
After saying that, he turned around and gave Xu Qingsui a satisfied look.
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She suddenly had a feeling that she was not worth keeping. You know, Xu Youyou used to be the one who stuck to her the most, but now she had only been with Huo Xilin for a few days and she already listened to him.
Huo Xilin immediately called his brother-in-law and confirmed that they had both finished get off work, so he sent Xu Youyou over.
Watching his son being carried away by Xu Di, when there were only two people left in the car, Xu Qingsui said angrily: "How can you be a father like this? Your daughter is not yours, nor is she raised by you, so you don't love her."
She felt sorry for the little guy.
Huo Xilin took Xu Qingsui's hand and said, "He is my biological son. Of course I love him, but I care about you more than I love him."
Xu Qingsui turned his head and looked into his eyes, which were full of affection and didn't seem like he was lying at all.
But she had seen such affectionate eyes countless times before, but in the end, he still lied to her.
Therefore, she was too scared to believe it anymore.
She suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?"
Huo Xilin smiled slightly: "I know you don't believe me, but time will prove everything. I am very grateful to God for giving me a chance to make up for it."
"Qing Sui." Huo Xilin raised her hand and kissed it cherishingly: "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to start over, even if this opportunity was taken by force, but I don't regret it."
Xu Qingsui was moved and opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.
What can I say?
Those are all in the past. Just like he said, everything is starting over. It is his chance, and it is also her chance.
"Three years ago, I promised to go to the movies with you. Sorry, I broke my promise that time. Can I make it up to you tonight?" Huo Xilin asked.
"Xu Qingsui is no longer a little girl, and her son is already three years old, so she is not particularly interested in the things that young people like. But when Huo Xilin mentioned this again, her passion seemed to be ignited, and she instantly felt anticipation.
"It's up to you," she said.
Huo Xilin quickly took out his phone and said, "Let's go eat this steak first, and then you can choose what movie you want to watch."
Xu Qingsui took Huo Xilin's phone, and the two of them leaned against each other and discussed in a low voice, and finally they unanimously chose a comedy.
When booking the ticket, Xu Qingsui subconsciously asked, "What's the password?"
Huo Xilin said a number and Xu Qingsui looked up in surprise, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
Under her puzzled gaze, Huo Xilin reported the string of numbers again, and this time, Xu Qingsui was sure that he had not heard it wrong.
"Why do we need to set this password?" Xu Qingsui asked puzzledly.
"Because it's your birthday." Huo Xilin said.
"Did you just change it?" Her heart was beating fast and she tried her best to stay calm.
Huo Xilin shook his head and said, "It has been used for many, many years."
Xu Qingsui thought that the many years he was talking about were three years ago.
"I thought..." Xu Qingsui didn't say it out loud. She thought he could only remember Yan Xisui's birthday, but she didn't expect he would remember hers too, and even set her name as a password. With such special treatment, she must have always had a place in his heart.
