Chapter 287 Questions and Answers
Looking at Xu Qingsui's helpless eyes, Huo Xilin's cold eyes gradually became gentle.
He walked towards her, raised his hand and gently stroked the top of her hair, as tenderly as he had comforted her countless times before. He sighed and said helplessly, "Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay by my side? You know I can't leave you."
She is his life. If a person loses his life, he is like a walking corpse every minute and every second he lives in this world.
Unfortunately, Xu Qingsui did not understand how important he was to him.
She sneered, feeling sad. For the first time, she bravely looked him in the eye and asked, "Mr. Huo, what am I to you? We both know that I am just a substitute for Miss Yan. In your heart, she is the most important person. The reason why you are unwilling to accept her now is because she betrayed you, betrayed your past, and destroyed all your beautiful fantasies about love and marriage. But you found it in me. You projected your love for Miss Yan onto me. You want me to cooperate with you like a doll and create a warm and beautiful family atmosphere. You want to use this to find the shadow of Miss Yan in the past, right?"
Huo Xilin looked at Xu Qingsui in disbelief. He asked in astonishment, "Have you always thought of me like this?"
"Isn't it?" Xu Qingsui was desperate and just said everything directly: "We met because I look like Miss Yan. That's why you signed a contract with me and asked me to fake marry you. On the one hand, you used me as Miss Yan's substitute. On the other hand, Miss Yan just returned to China. You wanted to use me to anger her. Isn't that the truth?"
"Bullshit facts!" Huo Xilin was so angry that he cursed: "Who the hell is Yan Xisui? You are..."
His voice seemed to be blocked by something, and the whole room fell silent in an instant.
Xu Qingsui looked at him, waiting for him to finish what he had not finished saying, but discovered ridiculously that he couldn't even lie.
Or is it that he is unwilling to even deceive himself about this matter?
"Who am I?" Xu Qingsui laughed, "Are you trying to say that Miss Yan is my substitute?"
"I have never compared you with Yan Xisui. I can tell you clearly that you have never been her substitute!" Huo Xilin took a deep breath and tried to make his tone less excited.
"Do you think I will believe you?" Xu Qingsui said disappointedly.
If it were in the past, she would have believed it, because at that time she really believed everything he said.
Unfortunately, every time she trusted him, he cheated on her.
"Boss Huo, you are very smart. I admit that you treat me very well, but I am definitely not that kind of person. I like you and I have you in my heart. I have nothing to hide about my feelings, but that doesn't mean I will be willing to be played by you. You said that the person you love is me. Well, I just have a few questions. You might as well help me answer them."
Hearing Xu Qingsui say that he had him in his heart, Huo Xilin's expression instantly became better, and he looked like a golden retriever with its fur smoothed, very gentle.
He nodded to Xu Qingsui: "Ask."
"When did you start to fall in love with me?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes began to wander when he looked at Xu Qingsui, as if he wanted to see another person through her face.
It was this kind of look. He had looked at himself with this kind of look many, many times.
It seemed like he was looking at himself, but Xu Qingsui understood that he was just looking for the shadow of another person in himself.
She had been expecting to get an answer from him, even if it was a lie. Now, although he said nothing, it seemed as if he had made everything clear.
She was being completely shameless by asking this question.
"I will answer this question for you later." Huo Xilin said.
Xu Qingsui nodded: "Okay."
Since she already had the answer in her heart, it no longer mattered when he said it.
"I used to be your assistant. You knew I was wrongly accused of the Southern Project. Why did you side with Miss Yan to slander me? I was not able to clear my name until I left the company?"
Huo Xilin was surprised: "It's been so many years since the incident, haven't you gotten over it yet?"
Xu Qingsui just thought it was funny: "From Mr. Huo's point of view, this is just a small matter, but for me, it is a scar in my heart. A cut on the skin, even if it heals later, won't it scab over?"
I have been wronged many times in my life, but why did this incident have such a profound impact on me?
Therefore, that was the first time she was completely disappointed in this man, and it was the beginning of her disillusionment.
So even after so many years, she still feels sad every time she thinks about it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you cared so much. If I had known, I wouldn't have done that." Huo Xilin said apologetically.
Xu Qingsui had fantasized countless times that Huo Xilin would apologize for this matter, but now that she had finally waited for this day, she realized that she no longer needed it.
"Mr. Huo, all I want is your explanation, not your apology," said Xu Qingsui.
Huo Xilin sighed, a look of pain and helplessness appeared on his face. He said, "It's all over. There's no point in explaining it anymore. Maybe one day in the future you will understand."
It's later again, he always talks about later.
Did he understand that they had no future?
Or did he think that none of his thoughts were important, and all he needed was her body, to stay by his side forever as Yan Xisui's substitute?
"Then let me ask you one last question." Xu Qingsui tried to calm himself down and asked, "If Miss Yan hadn't betrayed you, would you have been married?"
"There is no if. She will definitely betray me, so we will never get married." Huo Xilin vowed.
This answer was completely beyond Xu Qingsui's expectations. She looked at him with some confusion, as if trying to see something from his expression.
"So even though you knew she would betray you, you still wanted to hold a wedding with her without hesitation?"
"I have to do that, maybe one day you will understand."
For a moment, Xu Qingsui didn't know whether to feel sorry for himself or for Huo Xilin.
How much love must he have? He loved Yan Xisui so much that even though he knew she would betray him, he still insisted on being with her. He was forced to let go only after Yan Xisui's scandal was exposed to the world.
