Chapter 23: Attracting Luo Miao, excited for a moment, opened his mouth and found Xia Yi...
Luo Miao was excited for a moment and opened his mouth, but he found that Xia Yiqing's eyes were calm, not as gentle as usual, and seemed to have some of the shadow of the Third Master.
He was so startled that he forgot most of the speech he had prepared and began to stammer.
"It's okay," Xia Yiqing smiled at him, her tone relaxed and her face more kind. "Take your time to think about it."
"That's it..."
Luo Miao had just opened his mouth when Xia Yiqing's phone rang again.
This time, it’s not “Dad” or “Mom”.
But it was "Xiao An", Xia Yiqing's assistant.
Luo Miao quickly shrank his neck, his face showing understanding. "Madam, please answer the phone. I'll wait a moment. It's okay."
Nodding, Xia Yiqing walked to the balcony and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Vice President Xia," the voice on the other end sounded a little embarrassed, "your father called me and said he wanted to see you."
She knew what he was going to say without even thinking. Xia Yiqing's eyes turned colder, "Just ignore it."
"But he asked someone to block me downstairs. I don't know what to do..."
The voice on the other end became quieter and quieter, until it became difficult to conceal the crying voice.
Xia Yiqing's expression also became serious.
Xiao An is one of the few people like her in the company. Because her father was seriously ill and needed money, she promoted her to assistant to the deputy general manager to keep an eye on the company's developments.
In the past few years, Xiao An has always lived in peace with people from other factions in the Xia family, but because of himself, Xiao An is now in trouble.
"Don't panic. How long has this been going on?"
The person on the other side heard Xia Yiqing remain calm and her sobbing became quieter. "Hurry, almost two weeks."
"Okay, calm down first. What's the situation now?"
"Ah," a startled cry came from the other side, and the sound of banging on the door was added to the receiver. "Boss Xia, Boss Xia, help me!"
The call ended abruptly at this moment.
Xia Yiqing held the hung up phone in her hand, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Madam?" It was Luo Miao's words with a hint of doubt that brought Xia Yiqing back from her thoughts.
"Secretary Luo, can you go check it out?" Xia Yiqing was so focused on the possibility that Xiao An might be in trouble that she didn't notice that the bedroom door was ajar. The night wind blew in, and the door slowly opened a crack.
"Xia's Xiaoan is my assistant. Where does she live?"
The HR manager in charge of employee files at Xia's company is Xia's father's man. It would probably be useless to ask him, and it would only alert the enemy.
As Qi Hanmu's secretary, Luo Miao has first-class work ability.
Ask him to check it out, it will definitely be much more efficient.
"Ah?" Luo Miao was just about to tell Xia Yiqing that Mengge was dealt with by their Third Master when he heard Xia Yiqing suddenly change the subject.
Why does Madam suddenly not want to know about the Third Master?
Luo Miao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Could it be that he did something wrong?
"Isn't it possible?" The girl's almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with anticipation, like the stars slowly blinking in the summer night, shining brightly. No one who saw it would have the heart to refuse.
"Of course not," Qin Fei had just finished wiping Qi Hanmu's skin and came out, slowly adjusting the legs of his glasses.
"Who is Secretary Luo? Only the Third Master can order him around."
The hope that had been burning in Xia Yiqing's eyes slowly died down, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Yes, Secretary Luo is not her own person, after all, she can't order her around.
It makes sense too.
"Xia Yiqing," a steady voice came from the bedroom. It was Qi Hanmu, "Come in."
Qin Fei held his forehead.
Third Master, could you please not be so reckless when chasing someone?
You still have a fever, but you don't take care of your body.
Forget it, Qin Fei sighed.
This has not been going on for a day or two.
It wasn't the first day he knew Qi Hanmu, so how could he not know that for the Third Master, anything involving a little girl was a big deal, and he would do it himself if possible.
"Ahem," the man under the thin blanket could hardly hide his tiredness. He was clearly exhausted tonight. Perhaps because of the fever, his breathing became heavier.
"What happened?"
When she heard him speak in such a calm tone that concealed concern, the grievances that Xia Yiqing had been suppressing all came into being at this moment.
She tried to hold back, tears welling up in her eyes. Her hands hanging by her sides grabbed the corners of her clothes and rubbed them continuously until the fabric was deformed, but she refused to let go.
Qi Hanmu had been with the little girl for three years, so how could he not know that this was how his little girl behaved when she felt wronged.
The big hand that had just received an IV drip moved to the girl's cheek, and the white and purple back of the hand rubbed the girl's fair face.
"Don't cry." His voice was calm, but hoarse.
At this moment, Xia Yiqing's tightly suppressed emotions suddenly burst out, breaking through the dam she had just built and bursting out of her eyes.
She didn't move, just lowered her head, her shoulders trembling, her long eyelashes shaking gently, her two small hands twisted together, and the front of her skirt was a little wet.
Maybe it is like this sometimes. The grievances that you could have endured before, you can no longer endure them in front of someone who can comfort you, and there is no need to force yourself to endure them.
The slightly cool palm landed on the top of Xia Yiqing's head, gently and carefully.
"Okay," Third Master rarely had such patience to coax someone, he almost exhausted all his good temper in this life.
"What the hell is going on?"
The more Luo Miao pondered, the more he felt something was wrong. He pushed Qin Fei, who was blocking him, aside and came in. When he heard the Third Master's question, he answered, "Third Master, the Madam just asked me to check her assistant's residence."
"Go check, something must have happened to her assistant, send someone to guard it."
Qi Hanmu's voice was cold and held an unquestionable dignity.
Luo Miao went downstairs. Qi Hanmu patted Xia Yiqing's shoulder awkwardly and handed her a dozen tissues. "Wipe it off. Stop crying."
He was heartbroken because of her crying. Maybe it was because she didn't take the medicine.
So when Xia Yiqing was blowing her nose, she saw Qi Hanmu with a serious face. He opened the medicine box left by Qin Fei and took out medicine from it.
He seems to be very familiar with this, he must have done this many times.
Seeing the words "nitroglycerin" on it, Xia Yiqing became inexplicably nervous.
Her voice was a little hoarse, but it couldn't hide her anxiety. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qi Hanmu rarely saw the little girl worried about him. It was very novel, but it made his heart ache even more.
So he told the truth, "It hurts to see you cry."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, as if to bring the girl's hand to his heart.
But the slender and smooth hand paused after being stretched out, and froze in mid-air.
"You," Qi Hanmu's voice was a little hoarse and a little hoarse.
"Would you like to come over and feel the heartbeat? Or, listen to it?"
Perhaps he had a fever, the man's eyes were dark and almost impossible to conceal, and in contrast to his sickly fair skin, he looked even more fragile and broken.
There was pink under his eyes, on his cheeks, and even on the tips of his ears, and the temperature was quite high. He sat with his head down, leaning against the bed screen, like a flower in full bloom.
Bright and decadent.
With fatal attraction.
Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva, but couldn't help herself. She reached out and touched the man's fingertips, "Didn't you say you wanted to try it? Is it messy?"
The big palm could easily cover Xia Yiqing's hand, and when opened, it could even cover her wrist bones.
"Um."
There was a smile on the corner of the man's mouth.
After all, Xia Yiqing was not a professional medical student, and she was flustered by the man's gaze. She played the role of a wooden man for almost three minutes and could not hear Qi Hanmu's heartbeat at all. She only knew that her own heart was about to beat out of her throat, and was pounding on her eardrum.
"Okay," she gently turned her wrist and freed her hand from the man's big hand.
"Well, I don't understand these things, so let's call Dr. Qin."
Behind him, the man's phoenix eyes slowly woke up from his confusion.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger.
"You're going to see that assistant?"
Xia Yiqing didn't feel embarrassed at all when she was told that. "Yeah, she was frightened because of my dad. Shouldn't I go and take a look?"
The man did not refute, but lowered his eyes, his hands resting weakly on his heart, his thin lips had lost all color, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
"It's okay," he said a few words and then stopped to breathe slowly.
"Even if I'm frightened, my heart aches, and I pass out with a fever, I'm fine. Go see the assistant."
The man's voice was the same as always, no different from the one he used at the press conference when he announced Qi's information and answered reporters' questions.
No emotional involvement, just business.
As if he was really okay.
But the veins on the hand he pressed against his chest were exposed, and there was a faint purple tint on his lips. Xia Yiqing was not blind, so how could she not understand the meaning of his words?
So when Xia Yiqing heard what the Third Master said, she realized that Qi Hanmu was jealous but pretended to be fine, but as soon as she left, he would immediately become sick.
Although Xiao An was also in danger, as a weak woman, it would not be very helpful for her to go there.
Compared with Qi's bodyguards.
Rather than going to see Xiao An and making Qi Hanmu worry, it’s better to stay.
After figuring this out, Xia Yiqing immediately took out the medicine, put it into the bottle cap according to the dosage, and handed it to Qi Hanmu.
The man lowered his head, with his hair covering his facial expression. The stark contrast between his extremely white skin and the black hair, coupled with Qi Hanmu's sharp jawline, made people dare not look directly at him.
And his little girl gently handed the medicine to him, and said softly, "Be good and take the medicine. You will get a reward after you finish it."
The man's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Randomly, a slender hand, but thin enough to have protruding wrist bones, reached out and took the pill.
After staring at the bottle-capped medicine for ten seconds, Qi Hanmu was defeated.
He raised his hand, feeling rather uncomfortable in the eager gaze of the little girl, and then let go and turned his head away. The tip of his ear quietly turned red again, extending to the auricle.
"Madam," Luo Miao's voice came hurriedly from the door, accompanied by the sound of running, but suddenly stopped, barely stopping at the door.
"We've already sent people over to appease Assistant Xiao An. They said they were being directed by someone surnamed Wang. What do you think, how should this matter be handled?"
As soon as Luo Miao finished speaking, Xia Yiqing's phone lit up.
Seeing the word "Mom" above, she was overwhelmed. She picked up the phone, covering the receiver with her hands as if she was guilty, and said, "Hello?"
Unexpectedly, Xia's father's voice was heard from the other side, saying that it was Uncle Wang who threatened Xiao An, and asked them to severely punish the man named Wang.
"How do you know Xiao An was threatened?"
Father Xia's voice was a little weak, and he was not right but confident. "Well, I am the chairman of Xia Corporation after all, so I do have this ability."
"Qingqing, your father was just confused for a moment, so don't bother with him, okay?" Xia's mother's voice came over cautiously.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yiqing rubbed her temples and leaned against the bed.
She wanted to take a break, but unexpectedly a figure slowly moved towards her.
