Chapter 288 Unwilling
Looking at the sad expression on Xu Qingsui's face, Huo Xilin felt very heartbroken.
He comforted her, "Don't involve her in what's going on between us, okay? To us, she's just an insignificant person. I don't want her existence to affect our relationship."
After hearing his words, Xu Qingsui just found it very funny. He didn't want Yan Xisui's existence to affect their relationship?
How could he have the nerve to say such a thing? Wasn't their current situation caused by him and Yan Xisui together?
Or was he reminding himself in disguise that she had no right to talk about Yan Xisui?
Xu Qingsui took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm.
"Okay, since Mr. Huo has spoken, don't worry. From now on, I will not talk to you about anything related to Miss Yan. I was rude today."
Hearing Xu Qingsui's tone, Huo Xilin knew that she was angry.
He said helplessly: "I'm not saying you can't talk about her, I mean there's no need to let her affect our relationship, do you understand?"
Huo Xilin's reminder again made Xu Qingsui suddenly raise his head, look him in the eye, and ask frankly: "Boss Huo, our relationship was not affected by talking about Miss Yan, but because you were unclear with her from the beginning to the end, so this affected it, right?"
"You!" Huo Xilin was so angry that he was speechless on the spot. He didn't seem to have expected that Xu Qingsui's thorns would be so prickly when they were raised.
"When did I have an affair with her?"
Facing Huo Xilin's sophistry, Xu Qingsui did not back down at all and simply said what he wanted to say: "After I returned to China, President Huo, you threatened me to remarry you with Youyou, and promised me that you would never contact Miss Yan again. But I was only on a business trip to the north for a few days, and you met alone. Is this true?"
The evidence was already before him, so Huo Xilin naturally had no way to defend himself. He could only nod his head honestly: "Yes, I did meet her, but there was a reason for that. I promise that I really didn't do anything to let you down!"
"No matter what the reason is, since you have met her, you have broken your promise to me. Since you have broken your promise, how can you be considered worthy of me?"
Huo Xilin couldn't refute it. He found that Xu Qingsui was much smarter after returning from abroad compared to three years ago.
Maybe she was smart from the beginning, but she used to live cautiously and had to swallow her anger and avoid the spotlight just to avoid offending others.
But now she has grown stronger and no longer has to depend on anyone else to make her living. When she is wronged, she finally dares to speak out loudly.
This was a good thing. Huo Xilin was not angry about her words. Instead, he was happy for her growth.
Although he can protect her for a lifetime, and he has made all the preparations to do so, he cannot guarantee that he will be by her side all the time.
Now, seeing how brave and strong she is, he can rest assured even if he is not by her side, knowing that she will never be bullied.
Seeing that there was no shame on Huo Xilin's face, but instead a hint of smile, Xu Qingsui was almost mad to death.
"Mr. Huo, what are you laughing at?" she couldn't help but ask.
Huo Xilin shook his head: "Nothing, I just feel that you are much braver now than you were three years ago, which is good."
Xu Qingsui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that in such a serious topic, he was actually concerned about her growth.
The two of them were arguing. Did he understand the situation?
In the past, she often heard people talking about how some families couldn’t even have a quarrel. At that time, she didn’t understand what it meant, but now she finally understood.
Thinking back carefully, in all the years that Huo Xilin and I have been together, the number of times we have quarreled is really very few, and each time he was able to easily resolve the quarrel and get away with it.
She sighed, and the anger in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot. She said to him in a calm tone: "Boss Huo, I don't mean to quarrel with you. I told you so much just to tell you that I take relationships very seriously. I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. The person I want to be with must be someone I like and only like me. If not, then I don't care about how much he likes me, and I will never compromise!"
"I don't care about your relationship with Miss Yan, and I don't have to care about it, but it's important for people to be honest, and it's obvious that you haven't done that."
"I am indeed different from three years ago. At that time, I had just graduated and was willing to sacrifice everything for my brother's treatment. I was also very lucky to meet you. You helped me out of the predicament. If you had not terminated the contract, I would obey your orders for the rest of my life and stay by your side in any capacity. But now that the contract has been terminated, I am free. If you still want me to stay by your side in the same capacity as I was three years ago, I can tell you clearly that I don't want to!"
After hearing Xu Qingsui's words, Huo Xilin felt mixed emotions.
He was very happy and lucky. She was such a dedicated person in her relationships. So over the years, no matter how hard Qin Fang tried, he could never really get into her heart and get her to accept him. Otherwise, he would have no chance now.
But it was her spirit of preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace that doomed their relationship to experience many ups and downs.
He had so many things he wanted to say to her, but he couldn't say them now.
"Qing Sui, it was wrong of me to deceive you. I apologize to you, but you must believe that in this world, no one can replace your place in my heart. If you are willing to give me some time, I will definitely prove to you that the problems between us now are just a misunderstanding."
Huo Xilin's words seemed sincere, but when Xu Qingsui heard them, they just made her want to laugh.
She was no longer the Xu Qingsui she was three years ago, and she would not be deceived by his sincere-sounding words.
If you analyze his words carefully, you will find that they are full of loopholes and lack logic.
She took a deep breath and said, "I'm very curious. With your status as President Huo, what kind of concerns do you have that cause these problems to exist? Are they difficult to solve? Or has someone threatened you, forcing you to compromise? Or, you have never really taken the things I care about to heart, so you have deceived me again and again!"
