Chapter 57 Promise
Seeing his secrets exposed, Xu Qingsui awkwardly retorted, "I didn't think about anything else. I just felt bored after staying in the hospital for so long."
"Want to go out for a walk?" Qin Fang helped Xu Qingsui sit up, set up the table and put food on it for her, and said, "Then eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Fang's mysterious words aroused Xu Qingsui's curiosity, and he quickly asked, "Where are we going?"
Qin Fang shook his head: "I can't tell you."
"All right."
After lunch, Xu Qingsui changed out of her hospital gown with the help of a female nurse, put on warm clothes and sat in a wheelchair. Qin Fang pushed her out the door.
Xu Qingsui would never have thought that the place Qin Fang brought her to was a museum.
Precious cultural relics from all over the world are displayed here.
Xu Qingsui looked at the objects in the exhibition stand that could only be seen in history books, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
The treasures here reveal a history of humiliation.
Xu Qingsui recalled that when she was a child, her grandparents always taught her that appreciating and restoring cultural relics was not for making money, but for continuing the culture.
Influenced by her grandparents, she aspired to become an ambitious and high-achieving person like them since she was a child. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and she eventually became one of the mediocre people among the vast majority of people.
If my grandparents knew about this, they would definitely be very sad. The inheritance they had been looking forward to so much was abandoned by her.
"Why did you bring me here?" Xu Qingsui asked calmly, suppressing the bitterness in his eyes.
She didn't want others to notice anything, including Qin Fang.
"I know you've liked these since you were a kid." Qin Fang squatted in front of Xu Qingsui, looked up and said to her, "Qingsui, I've always known that you're a persistent person. Don't give up your dreams because of a temporary setback. I'll always be with you and be your solid backing!"
Xu Qingsui was stunned. The last person who said this to her was Huo Xilin.
After a long while, Xu Qingsui calmed down his inner turmoil and asked, "Brother Qin, why are you so nice to me?"
Qin Fang laughed: "This is the promise I made to you since childhood."
Xu Qingsui was puzzled: "Is there?"
"Yes." Qin Fang's eyes flashed with sadness: "It's just that you forgot."
"Even if there is, it's just a childhood joke. Brother Qin, you don't have to take it seriously."
"It may be a joke to you, but it is never a joke to me. I am serious."
Xu Qingsui was silent. She didn't know how to respond to Qin Fang.
After a long while, she jokingly said, "Brother Qin, find a sister-in-law someday. You are not young anymore."
Qin Fang was very hurt: "Girl, you did this on purpose, I told you very clearly that the person I like is you."
"Brother Qin, I'm already married." Xu Qingsui said to him seriously again.
She didn't want to delay him. Sometimes the order of appearance in life is really important. She met Huo Xilin first, so no one who came after could enter her heart.
Although she herself knew very well that she and Huo Xilin were only in a cooperative relationship, she fell uncontrollably.
Many things in this world can be changed by human intervention, except human heart.
"It's okay. I'm willing to wait." Qin Fang laughed and changed the subject: "The doctor said you can be discharged in a few days. What are your plans? Will you stay here or return home?"
"Go back home. Mr. Huo has already arranged for someone to take over the affairs here. There is no point for me to stay any longer."
"Okay, then I'll go back with you."
"No need, I'll go back with her." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
They both turned around at the same time and saw Huo Xilin walking towards them with a dark face.
Walking up to Xu Qingsui, Huo Xilin took off the scarf from his neck, put it around her neck, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Xu Qingsui stared blankly at the man in front of him. He seemed to have not changed much after not seeing him for half a month.
His warmth and breath still lingered in the scarf. For some reason, as long as he was by her side, she would feel inexplicably at ease and calm.
Qin Fang snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "You still remember to come back. Your wife is in the hospital, but you go to take care of other women. You are not worthy of Xu Qingsui at all!"
"Shut up!" Huo Xilin said unhappily, "I asked you to help me take care of her, not to take advantage of her, and certainly not to sow discord."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Qin Fang was speechless: "You really are good at killing the donkey after it has done its job."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, both of you." Xu Qingsui just felt a headache: "I want to go back."
"Okay, okay, let's ignore him. Brother Qin will take you back right away." Qin Fang was about to push the wheelchair, but Huo Xilin got there first.
"Now that I'm back, I don't need you to take care of my wife. You can go and do your own thing." After saying that, Huo Xilin pushed Xu Qingsui out of the museum.
Qin Fang was almost speechless and didn't understand why Xu Qingsui didn't want to leave him.
Inside the car, the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time were silent.
Xu Qingsui lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Huo Xilin held her hand, as if conveying some kind of power.
"I'm sorry, I broke my promise this time." Huo Xilin said bitterly after a long time.
"It doesn't matter." Xu Qingsui raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing an indifferent attitude.
For a moment, Huo Xilin couldn't tell what he was feeling.
"Is Miss Yan okay?" Xu Qingsui asked.
Huo Xilin raised his hand and rubbed his brow, looking a little tired. He replied: "Fortunately, the operation was relatively successful and he is no longer in danger of death. With proper care in the future, he should be fine."
"That's good." Xu Qingsui nodded, and she mustered up the courage to ask the question in her heart: "Boss Huo, is our relationship going to end?"
Huo Xilin's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and looked into Xu Qingsui's eyes. His gaze was deep and bottomless: "Do you want our relationship to end?"
Xu Qingsui didn't know how to answer.
She smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my decision, is it?"
From the beginning to the end, she was forced to accept everything Huo Xilin did to her, whether it was good or bad.
From the moment she signed the agreement, she had lost the freedom to choose.
Huo Xilin didn't have time to answer her question, but asked, "Have you been happy with Qin Fang during this period?"
Xu Qingsui nodded and said sincerely: "Brother Qin is very good to me."
She always felt at ease getting along with Qin Fang. On the contrary, although she felt at ease when she was with Huo Xilin, it felt unreal to her. She was always cautious, afraid that he would see through her.
