Chapter 402 Perfunctory
Xu Qingsui could not bear the sound of Huo Xilin's deep laughter and hit him with his hand in shame and anger.
Huo Xilin knew that he couldn't laugh anymore, because he would get really angry soon and he would be the one who felt bad.
So I quickly apologized: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, don't be angry."
"What do you want to eat tonight? Do you want to eat at home or out?" Now that Aunt Wang is gone and there is no one to cook at home, Huo Xilin decided to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of being a househusband and serve his sweetheart well.
He pinched Xu Qingsui's slender waist with his hands, and found no flesh except bones.
Perhaps due to the influence of Lu Jingyu some time ago, she had a poor appetite. Now that the problem has been solved, she should be well nourished to make up for the missing meat.
"I may get off work a little late. If you are hungry, you can eat first. You don't have to wait for me. I can eat anything after get off work." Xu Qingsui said to Huo Xilin.
Because we have to arrange the New Year leave, we have to complete the work in advance. We are now copying samples, and we will start to officially restore the authentic products after the New Year, so the overtime hours may be extended.
"No matter how much you work overtime, you still have to eat at regular times and places. Otherwise, if you skip one meal and eat the next, you will get stomach problems sooner or later."
No wonder she couldn’t gain weight. It turned out she didn’t eat well every time she worked overtime.
Xu Qingsui understood this logic, but her work situation was rather special, so it was not realistic for her to eat at a fixed time and place.
"Once this painting is restored, I will definitely have a good meal at a fixed time and place."
Afraid that Huo Xilin would worry, Xu Qingsui could only say this to him.
"Just give me some perfunctory treatment." Huo Xilin was helpless with Xu Qingsui.
After leaving the airport, Huo Xilin sent Xu Qingsui to the museum, and then went to the company himself.
The busiest time of the year is the end of the year, with all the reviews, calculations, settlements, and coordination... as well as countless meetings of all sizes.
After finishing a busy day's work, it was already dark. Huo Xilin glanced at his mobile phone. There were countless messages, but none of them was sent to him by Xu Qingsui.
Huo Xilin felt a little disappointed, but thinking that Xu Qingsui was so busy with work that he even turned his phone to silent mode, it was normal that he didn't send him a message.
It was getting late, so Huo Xilin had to give up the idea of cooking himself. He turned on his phone and started browsing restaurants in the evening. He decided to go eat with Xu Qingsui later.
When he finished booking the restaurant and packed up to leave, the landline on his desk rang. It was the secretary's office calling. Huo Xilin answered: "What's the matter? Please arrange another time for the unfinished schedule today."
"Mr. Huo, today's schedule has been completed. The front desk called and said there is a lady named Yan who wants to see you by name. Do you think you should come up?"
"No need!" Huo Xilin refused without thinking: "Let her leave, I won't see her." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
There can be no other Miss Yan except Yan Xisui.
She was staying in the south well, so why did she come here at this time? Huo Xilin didn't care at all, and it had nothing to do with him.
He had promised Xu Qingsui that he would never see Yan Xisui again, and he would keep his word.
When Huo Xilin went downstairs to the basement to drive his car, he saw Yan Xisui standing next to his car with the child in her hand from afar.
He frowned slightly, with obvious displeasure showing on his face. Who let them in?
Huo Xilin was about to turn around and leave. He didn't want to have any entanglement with Yan Xisui.
Just as he turned around, Yan Xisui and Yan Linzhou also saw him.
Yan Xisui deliberately let go of Yan Linzhou's hand and gave him a wink.
Yan Linzhou immediately ran towards Huo Xilin, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Huo!"
Running up to him, Yan Linzhou hugged his thighs and said, "Uncle Huo, don't go. I'm Zhou Zhou. I'm on vacation, so my mother brought me here to see you. But your employees wouldn't let us go upstairs, so I sat downstairs for most of the day and finally saw you!"
Yan Linzhou is not very old, and he must have been taught by someone to express such a complete sentence.
He raised his head and looked at Yan Xisui who was walking towards him: "Thank you for taking the trouble to stop me. You are not afraid of freezing the child in the middle of winter."
Yan Linzhou was dressed lightly. It was snowing outside and he was not wearing a hat or gloves. Even an adult would not be able to wear such clothes, let alone a child.
"I thought I could go to your office and see you there. There's heating inside, so the child wouldn't be cold. Who knew you were so cruel and asked the front desk to stop us? If I hadn't sneaked into the parking lot with the child, would I not have seen you today?"
Yan Xisui spoke in a very pitiful way, and as she spoke, she began to cry with tears in her eyes.
When Yan Linzhou saw his mother crying, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face. He held Huo Xilin's thigh even tighter with his arms, but his fingers grabbed the flesh of his thigh and he felt pain instantly.
Huo Xilin lowered his head and looked at Yan Linzhou's unusual reaction, then looked at Yan Xisui.
What on earth are these mother and son up to?
Huo Xilin has always been a thoughtful person. From Yan Linzhou's reaction, he guessed that Yan Xisui might have abused the child.
"Uncle Huo, my mother is crying. Can you comfort her, please? I beg you!" Yan Linzhou opened his big eyes and pleaded to him pitifully.
Huo Xilin suddenly thought about it, squatted down and hugged Yan Linzhou, and asked, "Are you afraid of your mother crying?"
Yan Linzhou nodded vigorously, as if this was not enough to express his feelings, and he said it again with certainty: "Scared!"
"Why? Does mommy have to scold and beat you if you cry?"
When Huo Xilin asked this question, Yan Linzhou subconsciously looked at Yan Xisui, with even more fear in his eyes.
Yan Xisui had never expected that Huo Xilin would ask such a question to the child. Her face immediately changed, and she rushed over to hold the child in her arms, complaining in a wronged and harmless manner: "Brother Lin, what do you mean by this? Linzhou is my biological son, how could I bear to do anything to him."
Huo Xilin looked at Yan Linzhou in Yan Xisui's arms. His little body was trembling slightly. This trembling was definitely not due to the cold, because he did not show such behavior when he was in his arms just now.
He is clearly afraid!
Seeing that Huo Xilin didn't seem to believe her explanation, Yan Xisui continued, "I admit that I scolded him at ordinary times. It's normal for a child of his age to be naughty, but I really didn't hit him. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."
