Chapter 233 Picking up the child
Xu Qingsui was deeply moved by Huo Xilin's words. She couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek, then said shyly, "Thank you."
Sure enough, the beauty trap is the most effective in this world. Xu Qingsui made Huo Xilin relax with just a kiss.
"Never mind, it's just a bruise. It won't be a big deal if you don't apply medicine. Just apply it at night."
"Please pack up. I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast. After breakfast, I'll take you to work."
"Is it too troublesome? I can drive myself and I can just go to work by myself." Xu Qingsui remembered that the Huo Group headquarters and the museum were not on the same route. One was in the south and the other in the north. Although both were not far from the city center, it would inevitably take a lot of time to go back and forth.
"You can go by yourself later, but today I have to take you there."
"Why?" Xu Qingsui asked in confusion, "You don't want to cause trouble for Senior Brother Xu, do you?"
"The injury to the corner of my eye was an accident. I did it by accident. It has nothing to do with Senior Brother Xu."
"I didn't say it had anything to do with her." Huo Xilin rubbed her head lovingly: "I just want to see you off today, is that not okay?"
Seeing that he insisted, Xu Qingsui didn't say anything more, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Huo Xilin smiled, said nothing, packed up the medicine box and went out.
After sending Xu Qingsui to the entrance of the museum, Huo Xilin watched her walk in, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked his assistant to send him the contact information of the museum director.
"Hello Director Zhang, I am Huo Xilin, the general manager of the Huo Group." The moment the phone was connected, he introduced himself.
"It's Mr. Huo!" Director Zhang said excitedly, "I wonder if Mr. Huo has anything to say to me? The cultural relics donated by your family are all well preserved in the museum, so don't worry! Do you have anything good to donate this time?"
"This time I'm contacting you not about cultural relics. Let's meet and talk in detail." After saying this, Huo Xilin hung up the phone.
…
At today's morning meeting, Xu Wanshan specifically emphasized that private matters should not be discussed during office hours, and that colleagues should not fight with each other. He also criticized Zhang Mei by name.
Zhang Mei looked aggrieved and obviously unconvinced, but when she met Xu Wanshan's cold gaze, she held all her words in her stomach.
Not long after the meeting, the curator came to the restoration studio with an angry face and called Zhang Mei out. Since then, Zhang Mei has never appeared in the museum again. After she left, the whole working atmosphere improved.
Xu Wanshan, in particular, was visibly happy and became polite again, being friendly to everyone he met.
A week later, Xu Qingsui looked at his face in the mirror and found it had fully recovered. Now he didn't have to get up early to put on makeup anymore. He could rest for half an hour longer in the morning. It was great.
Huo Xilin saw her smiling while looking in the mirror and hugged her from behind: "Are you happy?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingsui turned around and the moment he looked at him, he was held on the back of his head and kissed by him.
These days Xu Youyou lived in the small courtyard and was taken care of by Xu Di and Lin Wan. The two of them spent a week in their own world, but good times are always short.
Xu Qingsui said to Huo Xilin: "Today is the weekend, let's go pick up our son tonight. I miss him so much."
The main reason why she didn't take him back before was that she had a wound on her face and she was afraid that her son would see it and worry. She was also afraid that Xu Di and Lin Wan would find out and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Now that her injuries have healed, she has nothing to worry about anymore.
Huo Xilin hugged Xu Qingsui reluctantly, put his chin on her shoulder, and said aggrievedly: "What should we do? We don't want anyone to disturb us."
Xu Qingsui was amused by his behavior. It was hard to imagine that this was the Huo Xilin who was so decisive in the business world.
"Then don't want your son. Don't you miss him?"
"I do want to, but I want to be with you more. If my son is around, I won't be able to be intimate with you anytime and anywhere."
"Don't let your son hear this. He's grown up now and understands everything."
"It's just a little brat..."
As the two talked, time passed quickly. Huo Xilin said that he was reluctant to ask his son to come back, but at night, without waiting for Xu Qingsui to remind him, he took the car keys and went to pick him up.
"Wait for me at home. I'll bring my son back in a while."
"Let me go with you. I haven't seen my brother and Lin Wan for a while, and I want to talk to them." Xu Qingsui just didn't want to stay at home alone. People who are used to the hustle and bustle will be afraid of loneliness.
"Okay." Huo Xilin took Xu Qingsui's things, and they went out together.
A week later, Xu Youyou finally saw her mother. She was so happy.
This was the first time since he grew up that he was separated from his mother for such a long time. A week might not be long for ordinary people, but it was very long for the little guy.
Seeing Xu Qingsui from a distance, Xu Youyou couldn't wait to rush out before she even entered the door and threw herself into her arms: "Mommy, you're finally here, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"Who said that?" Xu Qingsui was very happy to see her son. She rubbed his little face and said gently, "You are Mommy's baby. Mommy will never give up on you."
Xu Di and Lin Wan heard the voices, came out and saw the two of them, especially when they saw Xu Youyou clinging to Xu Qingsui's arms, they couldn't help but laugh: "You guys are finally here. The little guy counts on his fingers every day and says that you don't want him anymore."
"Why didn't you say you missed Mommy on the phone?" After hearing Lin Wan's words, Xu Qingsui lowered his head and asked the little guy.
Although Xu Youyou lives in the small courtyard, the mother and son talk on the phone every night, and the little guy behaves very well on the phone.
Xu Youyou said awkwardly: "I know Mommy must be busy with something, so she asked my uncle and aunt to take care of me, so I can't cause trouble for Mommy."
Xu Qingsui suddenly felt sad. A three-year-old child is at an age when he should be carefree, but her son had to consider so much.
It is said that she has been raising the child alone abroad over the years, so the little one seems to be more mature than other children of the same age.
Thinking of this, she felt very sorry for the child and her eyes suddenly became red.
Huo Xilin listened to the conversation between the mother and son, bent down and held the little guy in his arms: "Do you miss your dad?"
The little guy was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Only a little bit."
Huo Xilin knew that what the little guy said was true, but he was still very happy. After all, as a father, he had been absent during the three years of his child's growth.
