Chapter 125: Being strong is actually when a person is really uncomfortable...
In fact, when a person is really upset, trying to hide it makes it easier for him to be discovered.
Of course, the premise is that you hide in front of people who have ulterior motives. If you are in a group of people who don't care about you at all, or even have a cold attitude towards you, even if you are already in great pain, they will just look at you coldly.
Qi Hanmu was the type of person who would quietly roll his eyes and fall into a corner where no one would know him, even if he fainted from the pain.
He hated exposing his pain to everyone.
In Qi Hanmu's eyes, this was no less than wagging one's tail to beg for mercy. Only someone who wanted to be someone else's dog would do such a thing.
This is what Qi Hanmu considers to be his advantage, and it is also the reason why he hates seeing doctors.
So, when he noticed that Xia Yiqing's eyes were flashing with concern, he felt an unfamiliar shyness for the first time.
When I see the other person's eyes, I want to avoid them. Hot sweat starts from the ears and goes all the way to the back of the neck. My hands unconsciously want to find a place to scratch, and even my toes curl up.
This feeling is really not good.
"Let's go," Qi Hanmu couldn't hold on any longer. He slowly moved his right hand upwards, pounded his chest twice, turned around, and walked out.
"Follow me."
Outside that door, there is bright sunshine.
Xia Yiqing took a deep breath, a smile on her lips, and chuckled at Qi Hanmu's back, "Third Master, see you next time."
The man's thin figure paused for a moment, as if he had accidentally drawn a long mark on the notebook while distracted. He took another step forward, as if nothing had happened.
On the way back to the Xia family, Xia Yiqing looked at the setting sun outside.
Golden light shone on the house, casting a shadow next to the air conditioner outdoor unit. A rustling sound was heard, and it was cars driving on the road.
Xiao An's voice was a little puzzled, and it sounded from the opposite side of Xia Yiqing, "Boss, is there anything happy? Why are you smiling all the time?"
Xia Yiqing shook her head, took out her cell phone from her pocket, clicked on Qi Hanmu's contact information, took a photo, and clicked send.
In the photo, the brilliant setting sun is across the sky, burning most of the sky red. It looks majestic and artistic from afar.
Unfortunately, after the photo was sent out and rotated twice, a red exclamation mark appeared on the left side.
Qi Hanmu was still blocking her on WeChat.
This fact did not depress Xia Yiqing too much. She even curled the corners of her mouth. Starting from scratch was quite interesting.
Over the next week, Qi's front desk received different bouquets of flowers, saying they were for the Third Master.
Baby's breath, pink roses, tulips and lilies are delivered every day like flowing water, with greeting cards on them. Next to the patterns on the greeting cards are beautiful handwriting.
Most of them have one signature, "Xia Yiqing".
The minimalist style didn't bother Qi Hanmu.
The flowers were quite fragrant. Qi Hanmu never liked perfumes, so every time he went to the front desk, he would bring flowers up, but from a distance, and would not put them on the table. He would just walk over from time to time, as if he was smelling the fragrance of the flowers.
On the eighth day, Qi Hanmu stepped into the office with a secret expectation in his heart.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I smelled a burst of fragrance. I looked around and saw a bouquet of flowers with osmanthus branches and white lisianthus as the main flowers lying quietly on the table.
It was so quiet and fragrant, but in an instant, it accurately captured a secret thought in Qi Hanmu's heart.
This fragrance seems very familiar.
Where have I smelled it before?
Qi Hanmu casually fiddled with the golden osmanthus flowers and vaguely saw a card inside.
He casually pulled it out, thinking it contained words of courtship, Qi Hanmu didn't look at it carefully and put it aside. He stretched himself, took all the medicines he should take, and then sat down to start his day's work.
He was very efficient today.
Qi Hanmu wanted to lose his temper about many things, but when he smelled the fragrance of osmanthus mixed with citrus, he took a deep breath, and the hidden dissatisfaction in his heart was like hair falling on the ground, which was gently picked up by the warm T baby.
Forget it, don’t bother with them.
Qi Hanying was naturally the most surprised, "Brother, you haven't cursed anyone all day."
You have to know that Master Qi Sanye is a man of swift and decisive action, and what he hates most is procrastination. If there is even the slightest flaw in the plan, he will either be scolded to death or be stared at by him with his eagle-like eyes, scanning him from top to bottom as if he wants to find a hole in him.
Even Qi Hanyun, the uneducated son of Qi Hanmu's uncle, only received two gentle instructions when he came in.
The arrogant second-generation rich man couldn't do anything, so he asked haltingly, "Third Master, are you feeling unwell?"
When talking about this, Qi Hanmu's brows turned cold.
"If you can't speak, you can go out."
Qi Hanyun left with the plan that still needed improvement, feeling confused.
Tonight, on the way to the Chamber of Commerce, Luo Miao boldly mentioned, "Third Master is in a good mood today."
"Do you usually use perfume?" Qi Hanmu answered without paying attention to Luo Miao's previous words and just cared about his own thing.
“Sometimes a little.”
Luo Miao has tried all the perfumes except the pine wood cold scent that Qi Hanmu usually uses.
"Well, is there a perfume that smells like osmanthus mixed with orange?"
Luo Miao inexplicably felt that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to reply casually. He first checked on his phone before replying, "Indeed, it is available, Third Master. Do you want it?"
The man sitting in the back seat neither said yes nor denied it. He stretched out his slender knuckles and tapped the leather seat with his fingertips one by one. The cool white and dark colors were very eye-catching.
"fine."
If you get a high salary, you have to face the capriciousness of the Third Master.
Luo Miao deleted a bunch of screens on his phone. Never mind. He was used to it. It didn’t matter. He was just a beast of burden. He had seen through his life.
But before going in, Luo Miao confirmed again, "Third Master, you don't need to attend the Chamber of Commerce for too long tonight. Just go up and make a speech, talk to those people for a few minutes, take a photo after the core part, and then you can leave."
"Um."
The man in the back seat was obviously very tired. His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was no black hair on his cold white forehead. In order to attend the Chamber of Commerce, the makeup artist combed all the loose hair on his forehead back, revealing the man's full and handsome forehead.
Sliding down his tall nose like a slide, the man's tightly pursed thin lips were faintly purple, reminding others that he was not in good health.
Luo Miao saw it from the rearview mirror in the middle of the car and was slightly frightened. "Third Master, do you need to take a pill in advance?"
As he spoke, a hand came over from the front seat, and in the middle was a nitroglycerin lozenge.
After a long time, Luo Miao's hands were sore from holding it up, and the medicine box, which was not very heavy, was finally picked up by Qi Hanmu's bony hands.
"...Let them move up the photo session." He was a little overwhelmed.
Qi Hanmu rarely made such a request, so Luo Miao naturally didn't dare to disobey. He responded and went to communicate with the organizer.
Before he even got out of the car, there were already large flashes of light waiting outside the windows of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The reporters were all eagerly waiting, hoping to capture the true appearance of Mr. Qi Sanye.
Although whether the photo can be published in the newspaper is another matter, it is still worth being happy that it was taken.
In the meeting room, Xia Yiqing was wearing too many clothes and the heating was on, so it was very hot. She had no choice but to remove the outer shell like peeling an orange.
If Xiao An hadn't gotten the information that Qi Hanmu would come tonight, Xia Yiqing would never have come to these places to get involved.
Because she really wanted to see whether her "surrender" this morning had any effect.
Originally, Xia Yiqing was a little disappointed that Qi Hanmu was still nowhere to be seen when the show was about to start. However, when she was eating some dessert to satisfy her hunger, a sarcastic voice came from the side.
"Hey, who was that, hiding in this corner like a rat eating? Turns out it's our 'famous' President Xia."
This voice was unfamiliar to Xia Yiqing.
She turned around and saw Gongsun Yang next to a woman with droopy eyebrows and inverted triangular eyes.
Diaoshaomei was clearly unhappy that Xia Yiqing ignored her mocking words. She gritted her teeth and began a new round of criticism, "It's winter, and you're wearing a backless dress for whom? You look like you're begging for help, begging others to look at you, you vixen!"
Throughout the whole process, Gongsun Yang didn't say a word. She just stood next to Diaoshaomei, with her head held high, like a white swan with its neck stretched out, and she disdained to argue with others.
Following behind her was A Li, the bodyguard who was burly and had a bad look, whom Xia Yiqing had seen before.
This is the chamber of commerce signed by the Gongsun and Qi families, and Gongsun Yang is naturally on the organizer's side.
This time, perhaps because of a warning from Madam Qi, Gongsun Yang did not act rashly like last time. Instead, he smiled at Xia Yiqing.
"Mr. Xia, long time no see. I was the one who delivered the invitation to you. I'm glad you honored me with the honor of coming."
As soon as Gongsun Yang said this, the man next to her, with drooping eyebrows, widened his eyes in disbelief. He tilted his head back and forth between Xia Yiqing and Gongsun Yang, and his lips opened so wide that he could almost swallow an egg.
"Why wouldn't I come to Miss Gongsun's invitation? If I don't come, wouldn't it seem like I'm not giving her face?"
When masters fight, often just a glance or a movement can lead to one side being defeated.
Xia Yiqing did not show any shyness. She stood straight, with a cleavage and shoulders. She had everything she should have, but she did not give people the feeling that she was someone who could be teased.
The silver osmanthus flowers bloom in an unconventional way, seemingly swaying in the night wind, undisturbed by others.
Gongsun Yang's cultivation wasn't very good after all, so she could have tolerated it at first, but when she saw Xia Yiqing didn't get angry, she couldn't sit still anymore, "I guess Mr. Xia is following the Third Master here, right?
"You may not know this, but this time it's a collaboration between the Gongsun and Qi families, but next time, it could be a marriage."
Her heart skipped a beat, but Xia Yiqing's expression remained unchanged. The smile on her face seemed to be welded to her body, and she didn't move at all.
"If that's the case, then I wish Miss Gongsun good luck in finding a good match."
Xia Yiqing turned and left. Gongsun Yang glared at her with a fierce look, his tone rarely filled with dissatisfaction. "I don't know what to say and what not to say. You don't have to follow me."
After meeting the person she didn't want to see, Xia Yiqing felt happy even when eating fruit.
After swallowing a mouthful of grapes, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction. Next, it was time to meet the person she wanted to meet.
There was a commotion at the door. Thinking that the Third Master was about to arrive, Xia Yiqing stood up and took a step forward, but unexpectedly someone patted her shoulder gently. "Hey, what a coincidence."
Unfortunately, Chen Wen had already come to Xia Yiqing's side and was looking at her with a smile on his face.
Thinking that Qi Hanmu's last attack might have been caused by Chen Wen's illness, Xia Yiqing felt depressed. She responded casually and strode forward, which was not very ladylike.
"Hey, wait for me."
Xia Yiqing was walking in front, and Chen Wen was jogging behind.
The moment Qi Hanmu raised her eyes, Chen Wen just grabbed the corner of her clothes.
