Chapter 367: Unjust
"It's so late, you should have a good rest. If it's not something extremely urgent, why don't you deal with it tomorrow?" Xu Qingsui couldn't bear it after all, and after hesitating for a while, he said to Huo Xilin.
He raised his head and looked at her in surprise, as if he was pleasantly surprised by her willingness to stay.
Without thinking, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
He listened to whatever she said.
Seeing Huo Xilin agreed so readily, Xu Qingsui instantly regretted it.
Is she being too nosy? How can I find an excuse to sleep with my son later?
She really didn't want to be alone with Huo Xilin. She always lacked self-control towards him, and under his influence, she could not stick to her choice.
Xu Qingsui was still reflecting when she heard Huo Xilin say to her, "I have some things to deal with tonight. In order not to disturb your rest, I will sleep in the study."
Xu Qingsui looked at him in surprise and a little guilty, feeling that he had seen through his inner thoughts.
But seeing that he was eating normally, as if what he had just said was just a normal decision, Xu Qingsui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was overthinking.
She nodded: "Okay."
"After you coax your son to sleep, you should go to bed early. You probably didn't get enough rest during the business trip. The dark circles under your eyes are a little heavy." When Huo Xilin said this, his eyes were filled with unconcealable heartache and pity.
Xu Qingsui didn't dare to meet his gaze. He was a natural master of romance. Once they were gazed at by him with deep affection, few people would not be moved. At least Xu Qingsui was like most ordinary people. She could not resist Huo Xilin's deep affection.
So, in order to avoid falling deeper, she chose to escape.
Quickly lowering his head and pretending to eat, Xu Qingsui replied perfunctorily: "Fortunately, I'm not particularly busy."
The reason why she didn't rest well was not because of her busy work, but because she was worried about the dangers that Lu Jingyu and other people behind him had arranged for her relatives, which made her worried all day and unable to sleep at night.
Huo Xilin didn't say anything else. His eyes flashed and he already had an idea in his mind.
After dinner, Xu Qingsui wanted to clean up the dishes, but Huo Xilin held her hand. She was struck by lightning and quickly withdrew her hand.
Huo Xilin took the opportunity to clean up her dishes and said, "Let me do it. You go and accompany your son and get some rest."
Xu Qingsui felt a little uncomfortable and inexplicably afraid to be alone with Huo Xilin. He quickly got up and went to the child's room.
In the days that followed, Xu Qingsui did not ask Huo Xilin to leave, and Huo Xilin pretended to have forgotten their previous agreement. They still lived under the same roof as before, but they spent very little time together every day. In the morning, they went to work separately, and in the evening, Xu Qingsui always worked overtime and came back very late, and Huo Xilin was tactful enough to live in the study.
When the meeting time with Qin Fang came, Xu Qingsui deliberately got off work early.
With the experience from last time, Qin Fang booked a very safe and secret place this time.
"Have you finished get off work? I'm in the museum parking lot. Come down and see me." Qin Fang was waiting in the parking lot early, and when he saw that it was almost time, he sent a message to Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui took the phone, saw the message Qin Fang sent her, and replied with a word "OK".
Seeing that Tang Cheng was still finishing up the work, she said to him, "Thank you for your hard work today. I have something urgent to do and I have to leave first. You can leave work early after you are done."
"Senior Sister Xu, please go quickly. You don't have to worry, I'm here." Tang Cheng said to Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui nodded, changed out of his work clothes, picked up his things, left the museum and walked towards the parking lot.
After getting in the car, she said to Qin Fang: "Brother Qin, why did you come here in person? Give me an address and I will find you myself."
"I noticed someone was following and monitoring you." Qin Fang looked out the car window with sharp eyes.
Xu Qingsui looked in the direction he was looking at. It was a corner of the parking lot. It was full of parked cars and nothing else could be seen except the cars.
Although she couldn't see anyone, Xu Qingsui knew very well that wherever she appeared, Lu Jingyu must be there.
He was like a ghost, watching her every move all the time.
This was also one of the reasons why she didn't want Qin Fang to pick her up. She was afraid that what she had discussed with Qin Fang would be exposed and discovered by Lu Jingyu. She couldn't imagine what they would do when they got angry and embarrassed, and she couldn't bear the consequences.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to get rid of him." After Qin Fang said this, he gave Xu Qingsui a relaxed smile, as if everything was under his control.
"Brother Qin knew that Lu Jingyu was following me, so he came to pick me up?" Xu Qingsui asked in surprise.
"Not only do I know that he followed you, I also know that the last news was made up by him and Yan Xisui. We did wrong Huo Xilin this time. Although he watched from the other side, he still helped us in the end. I know he did it for your sake, but as long as you are fine, I don't care. Anyway, I have enough gossip, and I don't care about my reputation."
"What?" Xu Qingsui asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that the news has nothing to do with Huo Xilin?"
"Yes, I did wrong him this time. You don't have to be angry with him. He and Yan Xisui... it's nothing. It's just that Yan Xisui arranged for the branch to release the news, and he, Yan Xisui, just resolved the matter."
So, did she wrong him?
Xu Qingsui recalled that night when Huo Xilin hurriedly explained to her that he was indeed not involved in the matter and that he only found out about it after reading it online. However, she was not willing to believe him at all and was unwilling to listen to any of his explanations.
Thinking back, he rushed back all the way just to help her resolve the news issue, but after resolving it, not only did he not get a single kind word from her, but he was met with endless complaints and indifference. He must have felt very uncomfortable.
Xu Qingsui felt very guilty about this. It seemed that Huo Xilin had never been absent whenever she needed him, but she just ignored his importance.
Putting aside the grudges caused by her parents' car accident, she did owe Huo Xilin a lot, whether it was three years ago or three years later.
Xu Qingsui sighed silently. She didn't know how to face Huo Xilin when she returned, or how to deal with the news.
Are we supposed to just pretend nothing happened?
Then wouldn't he have been wronged for nothing?
"You two didn't quarrel again, did you?" Qin Fang asked Xu Qingsui carefully, "How about I go and apologize to him? After all, this matter was caused by me. I caused you two to quarrel, which led to misunderstandings and affected your relationship. I'm sorry."
