Chapter 361 Grievances
Huo Xilin slowly raised his head, loosened the hand that was holding Xu Qingsui, turned over and lay beside her, and whispered: "I'm sorry..."
He couldn't bear to make her sad, couldn't bear to force her to do anything she didn't want to do, and he could never be cruel to her.
Therefore, he could only hide all the pain in his heart. He was a man, and even though he had a fragile side, he had to have the ability to protect her.
It didn't matter that she didn't want to listen to his explanation. The matter had been resolved anyway, and nothing else mattered. This was not the only misunderstanding she had about him.
When Huo Xilin left, Xu Qingsui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then the grievances in her heart came over her like a tide. She couldn't help but pull the quilt over her head and let the tears run wild on her face.
She didn't hate Huo Xilin's contact with her. In fact, every time he approached her, she couldn't help but want to cater to him. He had a special smell that made her feel at ease. As long as he was by her side, she would no longer be afraid even if something big happened.
But this time, his tough attitude towards her made her feel inexplicably aggrieved, because Huo Xilin had always been extra gentle to her in the past.
She really couldn't accept such a gap.
What's more, when he approached her just now, she smelled a faint fragrance on his clothes. This fragrance was very familiar because she had smelled it on Yan Xisui before. It was the scent of Yan Xisui.
What kind of contact would allow her scent to stay on his body for such a long time?
Her mind told her not to care, but she couldn't control her heart, and she still cared after all.
Huo Xilin heard Xu Qingsui's crying coming from under the quilt. Although she tried her best to suppress it, he still heard it.
His heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and he couldn't help but want to go over and hug her, to comfort her like he used to, but when his hand reached mid-air, it stopped involuntarily.
She... must hate him.
He remembered the look of disgust and resistance she had when he kissed her just now.
Since when did the relationship between the two become increasingly deteriorating?
He could feel that Xu Qingsui still cared about him, otherwise she would not have repeatedly mentioned her meeting with Yan Xisui. She said that she didn't care, but she actually did care.
Because they truly don’t care, they won’t even mention it.
But if she cared about herself, she was so resistant to herself. No matter what he said or did, she acted as if it had nothing to do with her, and she firmly stated that she wanted to divorce him, and nothing he did would help.
These days, Huo Xilin was almost driven crazy. He desperately wanted to know where the problem lay. The people sent out to investigate had not yet sent back any news. Soon, he would definitely figure it all out.
Xu Qingsui didn’t know how long she had been crying in the quilt, but she got tired later and fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, Huo Xilin was no longer by her side. The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Perhaps because she had cried in the morning, her eyes were very dry and it hurt a little when she opened them.
What happened this morning was still vivid in her mind. She quickly found her cell phone and looked through the news online. All the news about her and Qin Fang had been deleted completely, without leaving any trace, as if the news that had been released before was just a dream she had, an illusion.
If it weren't for the traces of the search on her phone and her clear memory, she would have almost doubted whether she had not woken up yet.
I glanced at the time on my phone. It was already past one in the afternoon. Today was Friday, so I guess the little guy had already been sent to school by Aunt Wang.
I don’t know where Huo Xilin is now, whether he has returned to the south... Brother Qin was implicated by her, has Li Yuexue seen the news?
Countless questions flooded into Xu Qingsui's brain. At this moment, her mind was in a mess. She shook her head, lifted the quilt and crawled out.
She subconsciously glanced at the bedside table and found it empty. In her memory, Huo Xilin would always leave her a note about where he was going when she went to bed. He rarely left messages on his cell phone.
But this time, he didn't leave her a single word.
Habit is a terrible thing. When she got used to the things that Huo Xilin did for her, she actually felt very lost when he stopped doing it one day.
Xu Qingsui took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then went to the bathroom to wash and tidy himself up, changed his clothes, and planned to go to the museum.
She had just returned from a business trip and had a lot of things to do. During the time she was away, she had handed over the restoration work of the museum's ancient paintings to Tang Cheng, and she didn't know how he was handling it.
No matter what, she couldn't let her personal affairs affect her work. What's more, the ancient painting was so important that the entire antique and restoration circles were paying attention to it, and not a single loss could occur.
After calming down, Xu Qingsui took the important materials he brought back from the south, then opened the door, but unexpectedly found that Huo Xilin was sitting in the living room processing documents.
He hasn't left yet?
Xu Qingsui was very surprised and asked subconsciously: "You haven't left yet?"
Xu Qingsui's proactive greeting surprised Huo Xilin. He thought she would ignore him.
He was flattered and quickly replied: "I went to the company this morning and just came back."
Xu Qingsui nodded, but in the end he didn't know what to say. The atmosphere between the two seemed to become a little awkward.
Huo Xilin saw the briefcase in her hand and asked, "Are you going out?"
"Well, I'm going to the museum. I just came back from a business trip. I want to take these important things back to the museum and arrange the next work at the same time." Xu Qingsui said to Huo Xilin.
"I've just finished my work, let me take you there." After Huo Xilin said that, he turned off the computer, then stood up and walked towards Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui quickly refused: "No, I can just take a taxi. This place is very close to the museum. You probably haven't rested yet since last night, right?"
She noticed that he had very serious dark circles under his eyes, and that he had stubble, with dark blue spots at the corners of his mouth, making him look a little haggard.
Huo Xilin is a person with mysophobia, and he rarely appears so unkempt. Did he go to the company with this look today?
Xu Qingsui is really hard to imagine.
