Chapter 388 He's Jealous
"Shen Yuan." She wrapped her arms around his neck, gently calling his name, waiting for his affection.
Just as I was about to get into the zone, suddenly, I felt something was wrong.
She pushed him away abruptly.
"I...I..." she stammered nervously.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Huo Shenyuan became anxious upon seeing her appearance.
Qingning turned over and saw a small patch of red blood beneath her; she had started her period.
They even stained the sheets.
"It's alright." Huo Shenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked her head. "Next time, let's continue."
Although it was a bit disappointing, it also brought him back to his senses.
He used to claim he was Huo Xin and wouldn't touch his sister-in-law, but now he's completely contradicting himself.
He got up and made an internal call, "Bring up a clean sheet and a set of women's toiletries."
"Maybe... I should go back first." Qingning was still a little embarrassed.
Huo Shenyuan pulled her back. "Sleep here tonight, I won't touch you."
Qingning nodded, then went out and brought in the hangover soup.
"Have some more."
He took the drink himself and drank a few sips, not daring to let her feed him anymore.
A short while later, the manager rang the doorbell and brought in clean sheets and women's toiletries, personally changing the sheets for the president.
Qingning took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the bed.
A short while later, Huo Shenyuan also took a shower and went to bed, smelling fresh.
"Why are you so far away from me?" He reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The scorching heat enveloped her entire body; it felt very warm.
"Goodnight." He kissed her forehead and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Huo Shenyuan woke up to find himself lying on her pink bed in her apartment.
Well, that girl must have taken him with her when she came back.
The person is gone; they probably went to class.
Huo Shenyuan had nothing but a white bathrobe.
They don't even have cell phones.
Finally, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the management office to borrow a phone.
The school principal was holding a meeting when he saw the boss walk in wearing a bathrobe.
He was so scared his face turned green.
After finishing his call, Huo Shenyuan left with a flourish.
To this day, no one can understand why Young Master Huo is here.
They dared not ask, nor dared they investigate.
Half an hour later, Xia Dong came to pick up Huo Shenyuan, carrying clothes and shoes.
Many companies have started giving out annual leave.
At this time, Sheng's parents had already gone on vacation, and Sheng Weiwei, holding the child, boarded a private plane to the capital with Bai Yu.
The Fu family will also begin their annual leave tomorrow. Today, after finishing the company's summary meeting, Fu Beichen went to Fanxing for dinner with a group of senior executives.
Yu Yu has been quite clingy these past two days and refuses to drink milk.
Gu Xingnian kept coaxing him. After dinner, she took the child for a stroll in the garden.
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure, but when I turned around, the person was gone.
Was it just her imagination?
He couldn't possibly be here.
When Gu Xingnian returned to her room, she was about to take a shower. After taking off her coat, she found a note in the pocket.
It read: [Revenge, Rage Island]
These words startled her.
She took out her phone and nervously called Fu Beichen.
Half an hour later, Fu Beichen returned.
He entered the room, and Gu Xingnian rushed over to him. He pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I will always stay by your side and never lose you again. No matter what their schemes are, they will not succeed."
He gently comforted her.
Gu Xingnian nodded, and he held her as they lay down on the bed, coaxing her to sleep.
After she fell asleep, Fu Beichen quietly got up and made a phone call to Lu Qinglin.
He recounted what had happened that night, and then solemnly confessed:
"Go to Rage Island and find out what's going on."
"It's the Lunar New Year, and you're making me go on a mission? My overtime pay is very high," Lu Qinglin said unhappily.
"Do you want the Lu family, or Nan Wan?" Fu Beichen asked bluntly.
"Damn, I want both." Lu Qinglin made an outrageous demand.
“Then let’s go with the Lu family.” Fu Beichen didn’t have time to argue with him.
"I want Nanwan," Lu Qinglin said firmly.
"Wait for your news. Don't act alone; bring more people with you," Fu Beichen instructed. "Stay alive and enjoy the beauties."
"At least you have some conscience."
Lu Qinglin said one sentence and hung up the phone.
The next day, Fu Beichen had the butler take inventory of all the servants, check their backgrounds, and increase security.
The company had already given everyone a holiday, and Chen Sen was about to head back to the capital. He then assigned Chen Sen a task.
From this day forward, he will stay by her side every step of the way.
No situation is allowed to occur.
The top-floor president's office of the Huo Group.
Huo Shenyuan was in his office handling official business. Because the hotel industry is booming during the Chinese New Year, some departments in the company cannot take annual leave and can only make up for it with compensatory time off.
Therefore, he has been very busy these past few days.
Two days have passed, and Huo Shenyuan has not received any news from Qingning.
She hasn't been teleported here these past two nights while she's sleeping.
What's wrong with this girl?
His messages disappeared without a trace.
Is she feeling unwell? It seems like girls often experience abdominal pain during their period.
Huo Shenyuan immediately became very worried.
He quickly pressed the intercom button, "Xia Dong, have there been any unusual reports from the school today?"
Xia Dong's voice came through quickly: "President Huo, everything is normal."
"The bodyguard reported that Miss Qingning attended class on time today, and there were no unusual circumstances or disturbances from anyone."
Everything is normal?
Then why...?
Huo Shenyuan suddenly stood up and grabbed his car keys.
"All appointments this afternoon are canceled."
He left those words behind and strode out of the office without waiting for Xia Dong's response.
The Maybach once again headed towards Jiushang University.
Without notifying anyone, he parked his car directly on the tree-lined road not far from the student cafeteria.
It was lunchtime, and students were coming in and out of the cafeteria in twos and threes.
Huo Shenyuan lowered the car window, and his sharp eyes quickly locked onto that familiar figure.
She was indeed in the cafeteria.
But the next second, Huo Shenyuan's brows furrowed deeply.
Qingning is not with that girl named Tang Xiaoya.
Across from her sat a man who looked to be around thirty years old and was wearing a casual suit.
The man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a gentle and refined demeanor. He was smiling and talking to Qingning across from him, his attitude mild and polite.
Qingning seemed to be listening intently, nodding occasionally with a faint smile on her lips.
The man even considerately pushed a bowl of soup towards her.
An unnamed fire suddenly surged into Huo Shenyuan's heart, burning with jealousy in his very being.
Who is that man?
Why are they sitting together eating? And laughing so happily?
She's been ignoring him for the past two days because she's with this guy?!
Huo Shenyuan pushed open the car door with a gloomy face and walked straight to the dining table.
Qingning, who was taking small sips of soup with her head down, suddenly felt a shadow loom over her, and then her wrist was grabbed.
She looked up in surprise, only to meet Huo Shenyuan's eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire.
"Mr. Huo?"
She exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Xiuyuan, who was sitting opposite her, was also startled. After seeing that the person was Huo Shenyuan, he immediately stood up respectfully.
"Mr. Huo! What's wrong...?"
Huo Shenyuan didn't even glance at Lin Xiuyuan; all his attention was focused on Qingning.
His gaze seemed to want to skin her alive and tear her apart.
"Come with me."
He forced out three words through gritted teeth, grabbed her wrist, and tried to take her away.
"etc!"
Qingning tried to struggle, "Mr. Huo, what are you doing? I'm having dinner with my colleagues..."
"colleague?"
Huo Shenyuan finally gave Lin Xiuyuan a cold look. "Which department are you from? I didn't know that the president's office assistant had to have dinner with colleagues from other departments?"
Lin Xiuyuan felt a chill run down his spine from Huo Shenyuan's gaze, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
He quickly explained, "Mr. Huo, please don't misunderstand! I'm Lin Xiuyuan from the marketing department. Ms. Qingning was having a little trouble, and I just happened to be passing by and helped her out."
"It's just a casual meal together..."
He did have a good impression of Qingning; the girl was beautiful and lively.
But more than anything, people knew she was a favorite of the CEO and hoped that she could put in a good word for them with CEO Huo in the future.
He never expected President Huo to react so strongly! Could it be...?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan's face turned pale.
Huo Shenyuan was too lazy to listen to his explanation.
"Marketing Department, Lin Xiuyuan."
His tone was so cold it could shatter ice crystals. "I've got it."
These words made Lin Xiuyuan's legs go weak.
Huo Shenyuan stopped wasting words, forcefully pulled Qingning away from the cafeteria, and shoved her into the car.
"Huo Xin, what are you doing!"
Qingning rubbed her swollen wrist, glaring at him with a mixture of anger and annoyance.
Huo Shenyuan leaned closer, bracing his arms on the seats on either side of her, trapping her in a small space.
What am I going to do?
He stared at her. "Li Qingning, I haven't seen you for the past two days, and you're already chatting and laughing with other men? Hmm?"
"He helped me out, so I just treated him to a meal! Besides, Director Lin is a very nice person."
Qingning tried to explain.
This statement only added fuel to the fire!
Huo Shenyuan lifted her chin. "So you admire it? You like it a lot?"
His jealousy and anger nearly set the carriage ablaze.
Seeing his almost out-of-control appearance, Qingning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Is he...jealous?
She suddenly leaned forward and quickly kissed his thin lips.
I like you more.
All of Huo Shenyuan's questions and anger were stuck in his throat, and his body stiffened.
Seeing his momentarily stunned expression, Qingning's smile deepened, and she leaned in to give him another peck.
Huo Shenyuan suppressed his anger and said with a stern face, "From now on, you are not allowed to eat alone with him."
Qingning nodded quickly, "The food in that cafeteria is terrible..."
"Will you take me to eat something delicious?"
All of Huo Shenyuan's jealousy dissipated.
Completely defeated: "...What do you want to eat?"
Qingning immediately rattled off a list of dishes.
Huo Shenyuan gave a helpless smile and took out his phone: "Xia Dong, have 'Yun Jing' prepare the meal."
Half an hour later, the car drove into a high-end restaurant called "Cloud Realm" hidden in a private garden.
The manager was already waiting respectfully at the door and led them directly to the best lakeside private room.
The dishes were served one after another, each one as exquisite as a work of art.
Qingning's eyes lit up, and she ate with great satisfaction.
Huo Shenyuan barely touched his chopsticks, spending most of the time watching her eat, occasionally serving her food and pouring her drinks.
Halfway through the meal, the waiter brought over a specially made after-dinner drink.
It's a lychee sparkling drink that young people especially love.
Qingning was feeling a bit thirsty, so she picked it up and took two big gulps.
Seeing that she liked it, Huo Shenyuan didn't think much of it and let her drink it.
However, ten minutes later, he realized something was wrong.
Qingning's originally fair cheeks gradually flushed red, and her eyes began to look unfocused.
She rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head to look at him, and gave him a slightly silly smile.
"Mr. Huo..."
"How come you... have become two? Hehe..."
Huo Shenyuan frowned, immediately realizing something.
He suddenly grabbed the cup in front of her and brought it close to his nose to smell it.
That's not your average non-alcoholic beverage!
"Who gave you permission to serve alcoholic beverages?"
Huo Shenyuan's face darkened instantly, and he looked at the waiter beside him.
The waiter turned pale with fright and hurriedly explained, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Huo!"
"This special drink does indeed contain a very small amount of low-alcohol sake to enhance its flavor, as indicated on the menu..."
Huo Shenyuan glanced at the tiny note below the menu, and his expression darkened even further.
He was negligent!
At this moment, Qingning was already in a slightly tipsy state.
She moved closer to Huo Shenyuan little by little, and reached out her finger to poke his tense, handsome face.
"Ew...it's so hard..."
Then, grinning, she added, "Your lips are beautiful too... so soft to kiss..."
Huo Shenyuan stiffened, grabbed her mischievous hand, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Qingning, you're drunk."
"I'm not drunk!"
Qingning shook her head vigorously, but the shaking only made her more dizzy. Her body went limp, and she fell directly into his arms.
She tilted her rosy cheeks up and suddenly stretched out her arms to hug his neck.
"Huo Shenyuan..."
She sounded like she was being coquettish, but also like she was complaining, "I don't like it when you're so fierce..."
"Smile... You look best when you smile..."
As she spoke, she rubbed her burning face against the crook of his neck, searching for a more comfortable spot.
Huo Shenyuan held the restless little drunk cat in his arms, his body stiff, his self-control being put to an unprecedented test.
He tried to push her away slightly: "Don't move, I'll take you back."
"Don't go back..."
Qingning hugged him even tighter, burying herself in his arms, "I want a kiss... I want a hug."
She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and pecked at his chin and cheeks haphazardly.
Huo Shenyuan's breathing became completely disordered.
He took a deep breath, scooped up the little drunk cat in his arms, and strode outside.
"Bill, please!"
He coldly uttered two words to the manager and didn't stop walking.
Huo Shenyuan shoved the person into the car as fast as he could.
As soon as Qingning touched the seat, she slumped down softly.
The car drove all the way to her apartment building at the school.
Huo Shenyuan picked her up again and carried her into the elevator, taking her directly to her floor.
Enter the door lock code and place her on the bedroom bed.
Just as he was about to straighten up and go to the bathroom to get a damp towel to wipe her face—
Suddenly, her arms wrapped around his waist.
"Shen Yuan...don't go...I miss you so much."
Huo Shenyuan's breathing instantly became heavy; she was still on her period.
"Sweetie, I won't leave, lie down."
He tried to pry her hands open, his voice hoarse.
He helped her lie down, then went to get a towel and gently wiped her flushed face.
She suddenly grabbed his large hand, opened her blurry eyes, and mumbled something.
"I have a big secret to tell you..."
