Chapter 28 Do You Like Him?
Xu Qingsui nodded, and suddenly became curious about Huo Xilin and Yan Xisui. He asked, "Are Mr. Huo and Miss Yan in a good relationship?"
"Of course. Mr. Huo respects and cherishes Miss Yan. When they were dating before, apart from normal dates and watching movies, Mr. Huo never did anything out of line with Miss Yan. He also asked me to take good care of Miss Yan. I have never seen a rich second-generation man be so gentlemanly and caring to his girlfriend..."
Aunt Wang only regretted that she didn't have a daughter to fulfill her sweet dreams. Such a good son-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern.
As she was talking, Aunt Wang came to her senses and remembered that Xu Qingsui was now Mrs. Huo in name only, so what she said was inappropriate.
She glanced at Xu Qingsui nervously and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo. I think I said something wrong."
Xu Qingsui knew that Aunt Wang was a very nice person, who treated people sincerely and peacefully, and had no malicious intent, so he did not take it to heart. Besides, she was just stating the facts.
He smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you go and do your work first."
Aunt Wang felt relieved. She packed up the remaining chicken soup and hurried out.
The door was just closed, and then it was opened again from the outside after a while.
Xu Qingsui thought it was Aunt Wang who had returned. He lowered his head and continued to drink his soup without raising his head. He asked vaguely, "Aunt Wang, did you forget to bring anything?"
The dining chair was moved away and a figure sat down next to it.
Not hearing any answer, Xu Qingsui looked up in confusion and met Huo Xilin's resentful gaze.
"Why are you back?" Xu Qingsui asked in surprise.
"Why did you leave without waiting for me?" Huo Xilin asked dissatisfiedly.
"I thought you were going to be in the hospital taking care of Miss Yan so I came back first, and I sent you a message." Xu Qingsui couldn't say that he left because he didn't like being a light bulb.
"What happened between Yan Xisui and me is a thing of the past. Now that I've married you, I will remain loyal to you according to the agreement. Please rest assured about this." Huo Xilin said.
Xu Qingsui didn't expect him to explain to him, so he shook his head to show that he didn't mind: "It's okay, I won't interfere in your private affairs, you don't have to explain these to me."
Huo Xilin's face became visibly gloomy, and he immediately laughed out of anger: "As Mrs. Huo, have you ever thought about getting more?"
Xu Qingsui put down the spoon and said, "Boss Huo, I can't repay you for everything you've given me in my lifetime. I'm already very satisfied."
Some things are too extravagant. She dares not and cannot fantasize about them.
"Since I have given you so much, is this how you repay me?" Huo Xilin's voice was cold, and when one listened carefully, there was actually a hint of grievance in it.
"I'm sorry, my ability is limited now. I will work hard to create better value for the company..."
Huo Xilin interrupted Xu Qingsui directly: "Do you think I would care about this?"
Xu Qingsui looked at him in confusion and opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Staring at Xu Qingsui's still pale face, Huo Xilin sighed, "Forget it, sleep with me after dinner."
After saying that, he went back to the room.
Xu Qingsui lowered her head dejectedly. Yes, this was probably the only use of her staying with Huo Xilin.
Thinking that Huo Xilin hadn't eaten, Xu Qingsui brought him a bowl of soup and walked into the bedroom. Huo Xilin was just coming out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe, with water drops rolling down his muscle lines onto the floor...
Xu Qingsui's eyes dodged and he put the bowl on the table: "Eat something before you go to sleep. I'll go out and clean up the kitchen first."
Huo Xilin quickly pulled her back: "Auntie Wang will do it when she comes back."
He placed his wet head against her chest, lowered his head, and said in a tired voice, "Sleep with me for a while."
"Then I'll help you blow dry your hair first, and then you can drink the soup, okay?" Xu Qingsui's tone was so gentle that she herself didn't even notice it.
Seeing that he did not object, Xu Qingsui pushed Huo Xilin away, handed the soup to him, found the hair dryer from the bathroom, plugged it in, and let him sit on the edge of the bed.
His fingertips ran through the soft hair. Huo Xilin's hair was about one finger long. He usually sprayed it with hairspray and kept it meticulously groomed during work. Now after washing, it became fluffy, adding a touch of softness to his whole person.
She didn’t know if it was Xu Qingsui’s illusion, but she felt that Huo Xilin seemed so approachable at this moment.
Huo Xilin put down the bowl, looked up at Xu Qingsui's serious expression, put his arms around her waist and pressed her directly under him.
Xu Qingsui exclaimed and quickly turned off the hair dryer: "Mr. Huo..."
The remaining sound was swallowed into his mouth. Huo Xilin held her head to stop her struggle and deepened the kiss.
Xu Qingsui collapsed in his arms and gradually closed her eyes. When she opened them again, Huo Xilin had rested his head on her neck and fell asleep peacefully.
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of my heart beating.
Xu Qingsui lowered her head and saw the light shining on Huo Xilin's face. His eyelashes were very long, casting a shadow under his eyelids. As time passed, she felt an inexplicable peace. This feeling was the peace of mind she had always dreamed of.
If I could…
She had an absurd idea, and Xu Qingsui quickly shook his head to suppress this inappropriate thought.
The next day, Xu Qingsui returned to the resort and found that the excavator team had been replaced.
"He was doing a good job, but I don't know why he was replaced. I guess he offended someone above him." Manager Guo handed the file to Xu Qingsui and said, "Go and liaise with the new team leader. We need to speed up the construction. Time waits for no one."
Hearing the news, Xu Qingsui felt regretful, as Zhou Xu was still quite capable at work.
When she came out of the office, someone called her, "Assistant Xu."
Xu Qingsui turned around and saw that it was Zhou Xu. He looked a little decadent instead of the sunny and cheerful look he usually had.
Zhou Xu walked up to Xu Qingsui and said with some guilt: "I saw you fainted that night, and I didn't know which hospital you were in, so I couldn't visit you. Today I see that you are back and you are fine, so I feel relieved."
"Also, I'm sorry for causing trouble to your life."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Qingsui didn't dislike Zhou Xu, but he didn't have any feelings for him: "It only works when two people are in love with each other. You will definitely meet a girl who likes you in the future. I wish you good luck."
Xu Qingsui originally wanted to remind Zhou Xu to be wary of Gu Rong, but then she thought that since they were relatives, she had no right to say that, so she planned to turn around and leave.
"What about you? Do you like him?" Zhou Xu asked behind him.
Xu Qingsui paused for a moment, then left decisively without answering Zhou Xu's question.
People like her are not qualified to live as they please, and the same goes for relationships.
