Chapter 316 Only Numbness Left
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He tried to comfort her in a panic, but he was too dumb to know what to say.
A man who is a master strategist in the business world is like a rookie soldier when facing the tears shed by his beloved woman.
No matter how long they were together, her tears would always have an effect on him, and he hated to let her cry.
Xu Qingsui realized his own loss of composure, quickly wiped away his tears, and shook his head at him: "I'm fine."
"Have you been under too much pressure at work recently? You have to work overtime so late at night. Give yourself a few days off to adjust. Maybe there will be a different effect. The most important thing in your line of work is to relax."
Xu Qingsui stared at him in a daze, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in his mind forever.
Her eyes were so gentle, but Huo Xilin felt a sense of panic.
An inexplicable panic spread in his heart, and he asked anxiously: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Qingsui smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I just think you are too good to me, so I want to see you more."
"Huo Xilin, why are you so nice to me?" Xu Qingsui tilted his head and asked puzzledly.
She rarely called him by his full name, and it seemed like a casual question, but Huo Xilin saw inquiry in her eyes.
She had asked him this question countless times before, but it had never frightened him as much as it did this time.
Did she...know something?
However, this thought was quickly suppressed. If she really knew, she wouldn't be getting along with him so calmly now. He must be overthinking it.
So he smiled and gave the same answer as before: "Because you are the one I love the most, who else can I be nice to if I don't treat you well?"
"Really?" Xu Qingsui asked again with certainty.
Huo Xilin held her face, and they looked into each other's eyes, his eyes full of affection: "When you love someone, his actions and eyes can't lie. You can always confirm it with me, and my promise will never change, and there is only one."
Xu Qingsui believed that the love he talked about was real. As he said, eyes can't lie. What's more, he was a person who disdained to pretend. His identity and social status gave him the confidence to not please anyone.
But he was willing to condescend to do some very ordinary things for her, and considered the trivial matters of her and the children's life very thoughtfully. He could obviously arrange others to do these things, but he chose to do it himself.
This dedication is enough to explain everything.
But as he said, actions cannot deceive people. Once you do it, no matter how you hide it, the truth will be revealed one day.
It is true that he is good to himself, it is true that he deceived himself, it is true that he loves himself, but it is also true that this love is mixed with guilt and a sense of compensation.
How nice it would be if she knew nothing and could just live her life in a muddle-headed way, then she wouldn't be as miserable as she is now.
Xu Qingsui opened her mouth and wanted to ask him if he had lied to her, but in the end she gave up helplessly.
If he wanted to tell the truth, he would have told it long ago. Since he was concealing it on purpose, no matter how many times she asked, the final result would not change.
"Do you want to say something to me?" Huo Xilin asked, looking at her hesitant look.
Xu Qingsui smiled at him, then shook his head and said, "It's getting late, and you've been busy all day, so go to bed early."
After saying that, she turned and went back to the bedroom.
Huo Xilin's intuition told her that Xu Qingsui must be hiding something from her, but she was unwilling to tell her.
He asked about her recent work situation. Everything was normal. She went to work and went home every day. The person she interacted with the most was her assistant Tang Cheng.
He had also checked Tang Cheng, who was Xu Wanshan's cousin. He was an upright person with a clean family background and there was nothing wrong with him.
Logically speaking, two people who were fine when they left wouldn't become strangers after just a few days of separation, right?
Could it be that someone sent her some bad news?
Qin Fang?
Huo Xilin rejected this idea. Although Qin Fang liked Xu Qingsui, he was a man who acted openly and honestly. He would never do anything to sow discord. What's more, if he wanted to steal someone's girl, he would have succeeded long ago when he was with Xu Qingsui.
The fact that Xu Qingsui can now return to his side proves that Qin Fang has never used force on him, so the person who contacted Xu Qingsui privately must not be Qin Fang.
Could it be that...
A name suddenly flashed in Huo Xilin's mind, and he immediately called his assistant: "Please check who my wife has contacted during this period of time."
Nowadays, Huo Xilin calls Xu Qingsui his wife whether he is outside or in the company, so people around him have become accustomed to it and naturally know who the "wife" he is talking about is.
"Okay, Mr. Huo!" The assistant received the order and hurried to handle it.
While Xu Qingsui was still taking a bath, the assistant's investigation results had already been sent over.
Huo Xilin looked at the incoming and outgoing phone messages and saw Yan Xisui's number at a glance.
He clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger, and even revealed murderous intent.
It was this woman causing trouble again. No wonder Xu Qingsui looked at him strangely and was unwilling to have any physical contact with him. It turned out that she suspected that he had betrayed her.
After figuring out the reason, Huo Xilin actually felt relieved. He was even a little happy after being angry.
Can Xu Qingsui's behavior be understood as her being jealous? It also indirectly proves that she cares about herself.
When Xu Qingsui came out, he saw Huo Xilin sitting on the sofa, staring at the screen of his mobile phone. Sometimes his brows were furrowed with resentment, and sometimes he showed a helpless and doting smile.
This expression is as if one is in love.
Who is on the other side of the phone who can affect his happiness, anger, sorrow and joy so much?
For a moment, she didn't know what kind of emotion she should feel, angry, sad, or upset...
Maybe both, but most of the time, there is only numbness left.
Huo Xilin looked up and saw Xu Qingsui standing at the door, staring at him in a daze.
He hid his phone subconsciously, as if he had done something wrong.
But it was this action of his that made Xu Qingsui even more certain that he had done something wrong to him.
If it were in the past, she would definitely get to the bottom of it and want to know what he saw that could make him feel happy, angry, sad, and happy at the same time.
Because she is the kind of person who would rather be in sober pain than be confused and happy.
