Chapter 3: In order to prevent this man from denying his guilt,...
In order to prevent the man from denying his guilt, Xia Yiqing turned on the desk lamp early in the morning.
Normally, at such a wise moment, it was impossible for a man not to look at her. She knew very well that Qi Hanmu must know what she said. After all, this man was very good at reading lips. It all depended on whether he wanted to read or not.
As expected, after she finished speaking, the man's pupils trembled, and the haziness in his phoenix eyes was instantly driven away, replaced by sharpness.
"Can you... please not talk about this agreement for now?"
Maybe it was because of what Fang Chang had experienced, Qi Hanmu's voice was now particularly hoarse.
His muscles were truly beautiful, and in the yellowish light of the desk lamp, they looked like exquisitely crafted marble products. When Xia Yiqing put her hand on them, it was like an octopus's suction cup sticking to something, and she couldn't let go.
She raised her eyebrows, thinking that this man would not communicate with her, but unexpectedly, this man took the initiative to talk to her.
"Why can't we bring up this agreement?" Xia Yiqing relied on his current state and thought that he couldn't say anything harsh. At worst, they would just fight again. She supported her sore body, turned over hard, and lay on top of the man.
"We agreed that we would automatically divorce after the deadline. Did Mr. Qi forget?"
From this perspective, Xia Yiqing realized that it was no wonder that some people would envy him. There was really no way around it. Qi Hanmu was really handsome, apart from anything else.
She looked down and saw that Qi Hanmu's porcelain-white skin had become more radiant. His throat moved slightly, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to endure it. But those phoenix eyes were staring at him, telling her that he wanted it.
But he wanted nothing to do with her.
She doesn't want to.
"No," Xia Yiqing's calves were still trembling. If it happened again, it would be disastrous. She raised her hand and pressed the man's lips. "Now our agreement has expired. After the relationship is dissolved, we are strangers, Mr. Qi, so you can't do this or that to me."
Her words were very casual, but Qi Hanmu turned his head away, not wanting to look, and pursed his thin lips, even slightly pouting them.
Xia Yiqing had never seen such a childish side of this man before, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She felt that her originally sore legs and feet were not so uncomfortable anymore.
Sure enough, it is better to release your emotions. After all, what's the point of keeping them to yourself?
Thinking of this, Xia Yiqing's eyes rolled, and she hooked the man's cheek with her fingers, forcibly straightening his face so that he could look directly at her.
She raised her finger and pointed at her ear, then raised her chin and pointed at the bedside table next to her.
She knew that Qi Hanmu always kept a hearing aid on the bedside table in case of any other special situations. However, compared to the domineering CEOs in other novels who placed a pair of hearing aids everywhere and threw them away whenever they wanted, what he did was nothing.
However, Xia Yiqing did not wait for the man to reach for the hearing aid on the bedside table.
Instead, he was welcomed into an embrace that exuded a cool fragrance.
Qi Hanmu, who had a cold and heartless look on his face when he carried her upstairs just now, seemed to have turned into a wronged puppy. He put his arms around her back, lowered his head, and rubbed his upturned nose against the side of her neck, as if he was acting coquettishly and seeking comfort.
Surprised, Xia Yiqing found that she was not resistant at all.
Maybe he was unhappy because he found out his things were going to be taken away? Xia Yiqing comforted herself in this way. If he had any feelings for her, would he still refuse to give her a legitimate status?
"Be good," although there was no dog at home, but when Xia Yiqing realized it, she had already started to rub the man's hair.
"Don't hug me all the time. Hugging won't solve the problem. So, will hugging me allow us to continue our agreement?"
She swallowed her saliva and wanted to continue talking to this person, but she found that Qi Hanmu lowered his head completely and she could only see his cold white back.
Very good, this person can't hear, and doesn't want to see, so it's completely impossible to communicate.
Before Xia Yiqing had time to feel wronged, she heard Qi Hanmu complain first, "You wanted to leave, and I was afraid I couldn't keep you, so..." But he still had some conscience, "I'm sorry, I will definitely ask for your opinion in the future. Can you, not, abandon me..."
There was a slight tremor in the voice. Even though Xia Yiqing's heart was made of iron, it felt like it was encountering super-hot water and was about to melt.
The words of rejection and even humiliation that Xia Yiqing had prepared long ago were stuck in her throat, and she felt a little unable to speak.
She originally thought that after the agreement expired tonight, Qi Hanmu would say goodbye earlier than her, so Xia Yiqing's original plan was to leave early and leave this sad place.
In this way, at least even if he wanted to dump her, he had no chance. After all, she had dumped him first.
Looking back on it now, Xia Yiqing suddenly realized that it might be because she did not give him the chance to dump her, so this man suddenly went crazy.
Xia Yiqing did it right away. She used a little force to push the man out of her arms.
Her eyes were as bright as stars, and she felt that she had found a solution.
"Hey, don't you just want to dump me? Now I'm giving you a chance. I'm clinging to you now, hurry up and dump me!"
When she got excited, her lips moved like pouring beans.
After saying this excitedly, Xia Yiqing discovered that the man in front of her had a kind look in his eyes. Qi Hanmu blinked, and his phoenix eyes, which originally had a sense of aggression and alienation, were now confused and particularly innocent.
"You," his voice was low and hoarse, but in the dark night, it could easily make people's heart skip a beat.
"What did you say? That's too fast. I... haven't read lips in a long time. I've regressed. Don't be disdainful of me, okay?"
This voice is really killing me. Xia Yiqing is also an ordinary person. In front of a handsome man, even a heart of steel will become soft.
She could only desperately recall what he said in the box, "I never gave her a name", so that her pounding heart could calm down.
Xia Yiqing's lips curled up slowly into a smile. "How can I be in a position to dislike Mr. Qi? After all, Mr. Qi never gave me a legitimate status. My agreement with Mr. Qi has expired, so naturally I can't do anything, so how can I dislike him?"
At this time, a light rain started to fall outside. The curtains were not closed properly and were blown by the wind. They drew a circle in the air and then fell down, just like Qi Hanmu's heart at the moment, which was leaking wind.
There was only a small light on in the room, which should have been quite cozy.
But the subtle ambiguity between the two of them made the atmosphere feel a little off.
Xia Yiqing stared at Qi Hanmu's phoenix eyes. She knew that he was slightly nearsighted, but he usually didn't wear glasses. It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul. So, were the concerns for her and the fear of her leaving in these phoenix eyes fake?
She slowly pulled out a smile. If it was all fake, then Qi Hanmu was too good at pretending.
"Be good," Xia Yiqing pointed to her own ear, then tapped his, "Put it on, quickly."
She could feel her breathing getting heavier. She felt that this person was just like a piece of gummy candy. When she licked it, the icing on the outside was sweet, but when she really bit it, she found that it stuck to her teeth. She wanted to spit it out, but found that it was already stuck to her teeth. It was difficult to pull it off.
"Hmm."
Qi Hanmu's skin was surprisingly white. Under the light of the night light, he looked like a piece of porcelain. If you pushed him carelessly, he would fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.
If it were usual, Xia Yiqing would definitely not do anything to him, but now seeing that this man was just disobedient, she was furious.
She retracted her hand slightly, then pushed it out again, her fingertips touching the man's porcelain-white skin. The man groaned, and was pushed down by her with his delicate body.
"Um……"
Qi Hanmu's sword-like eyebrows seemed to be frowning. He slowly raised his left hand to his heart, pursed his lips slightly, and a layer of cyanosis slowly covered his lips.
Seeing Qi Hanmu suddenly like this, Xia Yiqing was shocked. She almost forgot that Qi Hanmu's cardiopulmonary function was not good. If he was away for a long time and had not returned home for more than a week, he would most likely be hospitalized.
The two had a slight conflict over this matter before.
The reason was that Qi Hanmu's parents came here to make trouble when he was not at home, saying that the shares given to them by the company were too few and they should be given more. Xia Yiqing, based on their agreement to get married and to share the difficulties before the end of the agreement, barely resisted for a while, but she could not prevail against the ruffians and had to retreat and leave Yiyuan.
Xia Yiqing was not quite sure how this matter was handled. She only knew that less than half a day after she returned home, Qi Hanmu, who had disappeared for a month, appeared outside her house with a pale face.
At that time, he was also holding his hands against the door, panting slightly, as if he would be out of breath in the next second. "Baby," his voice could still be heard through the crack in the door, "Come out, let's go home."
At that time, Xia Yiqing didn't know what she felt in her heart, she just felt a little awkward when she came out.
She knew that it was wrong for her to leave Yiyuan during the agreement period, but the parents were really making a fuss.
Xia Yiqing was a little worried that Qi Hanmu would use her non-compliance with the contract as an excuse to refuse funding to the Xia family. She remembered that she had grabbed his hand and pleaded, "It was your parents who came to Yi Garden to cause trouble. I didn't mean to break the contract. You know, I'm just a powerless young mistress in Yi Garden. I can't command anything. They looked like they were going to destroy me, so I ran away."
At that time, the man was sitting in the back seat of the car, wearing a slightly wrinkled hospital gown under his loose suit jacket. He closed his eyes slightly, and his skin was as pale as it is now.
Xia Yiqing said a lot in a daze, but in the end he only uttered one sentence.
"knew."
However, after that incident, the servants in Yiyuan were completely replaced from inside to outside.
It seemed as if the person was changed because she told him that the people in Yiyuan didn't listen to her.
However, the new group of people were indeed not as arrogant and domineering as the previous ones. They treated Xia Yiqing as their real lady.
Qi Hanmu's parents, who had once run wild in Yiyuan, disappeared without a trace and never came back.
As darkness and light intersected, Xia Yiqing heard the man's increasingly heavy breathing. She came to her senses and hurriedly looked for medicine on the bedside table.
Things like the bedside table were all arranged in an orderly manner. Xia Yiqing was not a person who liked to tidy up, but if she didn't do it, Qi Hanmu would classify her things and put them in different places. Sometimes she couldn't find them and was too embarrassed to ask him. After doing it many times, she learned to tidy up by herself without asking others. This way, when she needed to find something, she could just ask herself.
Qi Hanmu seemed to have acquiesced and deliberately left his medicine and some cards on the bedside table and asked Xia Yiqing to put them away.
Sometimes when Xia Yiqing put medicine into the bedside table, she would look at the label. She didn't quite understand it, so she searched online and found that it seemed to be for treating heart disease and asthma.
Originally, she thought it was a bit strange that these diseases fell on Qi Hanmu, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not impossible. This man has always been in poor health, so it doesn't seem strange that he has these two diseases.
However, Xia Yiqing would sometimes worry a little about Qi Hanmu. He asked her to hide the medicine, so she was not afraid that she would not be able to find it when he fell ill.
These two diseases are not to be taken lightly. If medication or treatment is not timely, they can be fatal.
She quickly poured out two pills and gave them to the man. Seeing his face slowly turn from pale to slightly red and his breathing become more stable, Xia Yiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. "How do you feel? Do you want some warm water?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head to look for her slippers and planned to go to the living room to pour him a glass of water.
But before he could stand up, his sleeve was tugged down heavily.
"Don't, go."
