Chapter 314 Search
She quickly hid the photo and wiped the tears from her face, thinking that she must not let him notice any clues. If he knew, it would be impossible for her to find out the truth.
No matter what the future holds, at least the truth behind her parents' car accident must be found out. Her parents cannot just die in obscurity.
Because she had been squatting on the ground for too long, Xu Qingsui's feet were so numb when she stood up that she fell to the ground. She felt dizzy instantly. While she was unconscious, she saw a man running towards her in panic and then picked her up.
Huo Xilin looked at Xu Qingsui's pale face, feeling anxious and angry. He quickly carried her out, sat her in the car, and gave her a sip of water. Only then did she gradually recover.
He asked worriedly, "How is it?"
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "It's okay."
"Didn't you get off work at around 2 o'clock last night? Why didn't you go home?"
Xu Qingsui did not answer his question directly, but asked in return: "How did you know I was in the parking lot?"
"You forgot that the last time you were injured, I implanted a small positioning chip in your calf, so..."
Before Huo Xilin could finish, Xu Qingsui understood. She smiled weakly. She actually forgot such an important thing. No wonder he could find her location accurately every time.
"You haven't answered my question yet. Why didn't you go home after get off work? What were you doing in the parking lot?"
"I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in the car. I went to the bathroom just now. Maybe because I didn't get enough rest, my legs suddenly gave out and I fell down. You happened to see me."
Xu Qingsui discovered that when she talked to Huo Xilin now, she could lie without blushing or beating her heart. After all, she had become the same person as him. There was no longer even the most basic honesty between the two of them.
Huo Xilin did not doubt the truth of Xu Qingsui's words, but said to her worriedly: "I heard from Aunt Wang that you have been working overtime until very late recently. Although work is important, your health is more important. You should not work overtime so late. I asked the museum, and there is no time limit for the restoration. You can complete it slowly, don't be too anxious."
Xu Qingsui felt that she was under Huo Xilin's surveillance. He always knew her whereabouts so clearly that he even had contact information for people around him, making it convenient for him to inquire at any time. It was like countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.
Although he felt very uncomfortable, Xu Qingsui did not show it. Instead, he nodded to Huo Xilin and replied, "Okay, I will make sure to rest more in the future."
"Why are you back today?"
"I sent you a message. You were probably too busy because you had a flight early this morning, so you didn't see it." Huo Xilin said sadly, "During the time I was away, you never answered my calls and you only replied to my messages very late. I feel like I'm not as important as your job. Do you not love me anymore?"
I didn't expect that such childish words of competing for favor would come from Huo Xilin's mouth.
If Xu Qingsui hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it.
But how could such a person, who said he loved her but did things that hurt her, not make her sad?
Xu Qingsui smiled helplessly and said, "Can we go home quickly? I'm so sleepy and want to sleep."
Seeing Xu Qingsui's tired appearance, Huo Xilin felt very distressed and no longer had the mood to joke.
He moved closer, and Xu Qingsui subconsciously dodged back.
Then she felt the backrest falling backwards, and her body fell flat on its back.
I heard his deep laugh: "What do you think I'm going to do?"
His eyes were so deep and smiling that Xu Qingsui blushed instantly. She really had the wrong idea and thought he was going to kiss her.
You really can't blame her for thinking too much. This man is always like this, and it has become a conditioned reflex for her.
Helplessly, Xu Qingsui could only turn his face away and not look at him.
Huo Xilin took off his coat and put it on Xu Qingsui. He watched her close her eyes, as if she was asleep. There were dark circles under her eyes, which showed how hard she had been working recently.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the forehead, then he sat back, started the engine, and drove the car.
When they got home, Xu Qingsui had not woken up yet. Huo Xilin couldn't bear to wake her up, so he carried her home.
She slept until the afternoon, and was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, Lu Jingyu held a knife and asked her if the money was ready. If she missed the deadline, he would kill her whole family.
Xu Qingsui suddenly sat up and looked at the familiar environment. She quickly picked up her mobile phone and checked the time. It was now past four o'clock in the afternoon and it was not yet time for trading. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I got up and washed up, but there was no one at home.
There was a cup of milk on the bedside table, with a note underneath. It was a note Huo Xilin left for her.
I'm going to the company to take care of some things. When I come back at night, remember to eat something when you wake up. Be sure to drink milk first and wait for me. Don't worry.
As usual, she folded the note, then found her wallet and stuffed the note into the compartment, where there was already a thick stack of notes, all of which were left for her by Huo Xilin.
She took out the photo and looked at the two little figures in it, feeling sad and angry.
But she didn't have time to think about anything else. She had to prepare the money immediately, otherwise the bank would be closed if she was any later.
After packing up simply, Xu Qingsui went out.
She had a company under her name, so she didn't need to make an appointment to withdraw money. She went to several headquarters banks to get the cash she needed. She threw several bags of money into the trunk and drove home.
When I got back, Huo Xilin had not returned home yet, and Aunt Wang had already taken Xu Youyou back.
"Mommy!" Xu Youyou missed Xu Qingsui after not seeing her for a whole day. When she saw her coming back, she ran up to her and hugged her thighs.
His clingy appearance is surprisingly similar to Huo Xilin.
His shadow was everywhere in the house, and Xu Qingsui was a little at a loss.
But she was still very happy to see her son, and quickly picked up Xu Youyou. The mother and son put their foreheads against each other, and Xu Qingsui asked, "Do you miss Mommy?"
Xu Youyou said loudly: "Yes! Not only do I miss Mommy, Daddy misses Mommy too."
"Have you seen your father?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Xu Youyou nodded: "Dad came back this morning. I was still sleeping, and he woke me up and asked me where I had been. I said I didn't know, and he left me and went away."
