Chapter 7 The one who chuckled was Qi Hanmu. ...
It’s Qi Hanmu.
He was just informing her to get ready and go to the party.
Xia Yiqing quickly packed herself up and went out with him, but she didn't expect to hear what he said outside the box.
"She was never given a name."
All the favor, wealth and preference seem to be like a passing cloud, gone once it’s gone.
At that time, Xia Yiqing just felt confused and seemed to have understood the saying "nothing in the world is impermanent" that people have lamented throughout the ages.
One can reach the top of the clouds one day and fall into the dust the next. The difference between the two is huge, but it is only a matter of thought. Many things are beautiful when viewed through a layer of fog, but if you tear off that layer of camouflage, everything around it becomes so bloody and hideous.
"What's wrong?" Qi Hanmu's magnetic and steady voice sounded behind her, strangely smoothing out the scar in her heart.
"I just came over because I saw that the phone in your hand had been hung up for a long time. Don't worry, I didn't hear what you said just now, and I don't know what the person on the other end said."
Xia Yiqing slowly raised her face to look at him, her breathing quickened and her fingertips trembled slightly.
The words "Why don't you give me a name" were stuck in my throat, neither going up nor down, like a piece of meat eaten at the wrong time. It would feel greasy if I swallowed it, but it would be a pity to spit it out.
Xia Yiqing sat back on the bed and continued to pack her luggage. She suddenly thought of Qi Hanmu's parents.
I have to say that my parents, who are a mixture of love and hate, are indeed much better than Qi Hanmu's couple.
At least they once loved themselves and cared about themselves.
"Let me confirm one last time, Mr. Qi, are you really going with me?"
Qi Hanmu signaled his assistant to put his suitcase in the trunk of the car, then sat in the passenger seat. "Well, please drive."
He was wearing an ordinary suit today with a pair of diamond cufflinks, which looked plain and simple. Xia Yiqing recognized it as the birthday gift she had given him last year.
She pursed her lips. This man is quite loyal. Why did he choose such an ordinary pair of cufflinks?
When she was about to cross a traffic light, Xia Yiqing's cell phone rang again.
She herself was a little surprised. Why did everyone call her cell phone together today as if they had made an appointment, and in front of Qi Hanmu.
Driving requires keeping both hands on the steering wheel. She raised her chin slightly and glanced at Qi Hanmu, "Take it."
The noble boss who was leaning back in his chair with his eyes slightly closed, originally giving off an icy aura that kept people at a distance, immediately leaned forward when he heard her words. Like a lackey, he not only picked up her ordinary mobile phone with both hands and pressed the answer button, but also put the phone to her ear and pointed the receiver towards her ear.
Xia Yiqing felt that the words "Please give your instructions" were almost written on his forehead.
It was kind of cute to think that way. She gave a short laugh, then quickly suppressed the corners of her mouth and spoke into the phone, "Hello?"
"Qingqing, are you free recently? I want to make an appointment with you to play together tonight. Everyone is here."
Xia Yiqing's eyebrows jumped. This person was one of her few friends, Su Huanhuan.
Su Huanhuan is a righteous and straightforward person. His family has some money, which is richer than the Xia family, but not comparable to the Qi family.
The two of them had been in the same school before. At that time, a small group was rampant and blocked Xia Yiqing in the toilet. Su Huanhuan saw it and came to rescue her. The two of them joined forces to beat out those who blocked them. This fight not only made the two of them famous throughout the school, but also made the school really take it seriously. They dealt with those small groups that needed to be dealt with, and expelled those who needed to be expelled.
Perhaps because they had fought side by side, there was a sense of mutual admiration between the two.
Therefore, when Xia Yiqing married into the Qi family and most of her previous friends left, saying that she was a gold digger, only Su Huanhuan stood by her and spoke for her.
Unfortunately, people have mouths, so it’s their business what they want to say.
Moreover, people's hearts are biased. They only believe what they see. Therefore, they firmly believe that Xia Yiqing is a gold digger. No matter how hard Su Huanhuan tries, she can't change their mind at all.
But even so, Su Huanhuan still stood firmly on her side and spoke for her unconditionally.
At that time, the Xia Group was in trouble, and Su Huanhuan used up all her savings and wanted to mobilize her parents to help.
Although their intervention did not change the outcome, Xia Yiqing was still very grateful to them.
Because among the fleeing crowd, not only are those who are standing precious, but those who run towards you and lend a helping hand are even more rare.
Thinking of this, Xia Yiqing felt a little touched. Just as she was about to say that she had time, she heard another sentence from the other side.
"Hey, has your marriage agreement expired? Haven't you divorced your dying husband yet? Forget it, I have a lot of young handsome men waiting for you to choose."
For some reason, Xia Yiqing's heart skipped a beat and she felt inexplicably ominous.
Taking advantage of another traffic light, she carefully glanced to the side to see Qi Hanmu's expression.
Unexpectedly, it was okay. It was not like she had imagined that Qi Hanmu would make a big fuss, argue, quarrel, become ill and uncomfortable, and ask her not to leave.
For some reason, her heart felt a little empty again.
Maybe people are also mean. Xia Yiqing cursed herself and accepted Su Huanhuan's invitation. "Okay, send me the location and I'll go there tonight."
The phone was hung up.
Qi Hanmu held Xia Yiqing's phone in both hands and put it back between the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat, then lay back in his seat, looking like he was going to close his eyes and rest again.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Qi to be so generous and not jealous?"
Qi Hanmu's voice sounded a bit lazy, yet a little soft, like a cat baring its teeth at others but turning its belly out to its owner. "Qingqing, take me with you, and I won't be unhappy. I'm very generous."
Xia Yiqing was speechless and stunned. This guy really wouldn't suffer any loss. That was to say, if he was not brought along, he would definitely turn the world upside down.
But looking at it this way, it's clear that this man has feelings for her, so why would he say things like he won't give her a name?
Xia Yiqing glanced at him through the rearview mirror and found that his eyes were slightly closed, his lips were tight, and his hands were on his abdomen. He looked like he was resting.
Boy, he was quite calm.
But soon, Qi Hanmu's eyeballs began to tremble slightly under his thin eyelids, his breathing became rapid, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.
It happened to be another traffic light, otherwise Xia Yiqing wouldn't have seen him like this.
She hurriedly reached into his suit pocket to take out the medicine bottle. It was still that familiar place, there was a bottle of medicine.
Following the foreign language explanation written above, Xia Yiqing poured out a few pills, placed them on the bottle cap, and handed them to Qi Hanmu. "Don't you feel uncomfortable? Eat it, or else something bad will happen. This is in my car."
The man slowly opened his eyes. His beautiful phoenix eyes were unfocused and his gaze was blank. His skin was as white as a porcelain doll, but now he looked more like a porcelain puppet. Not only could it break at the slightest touch, but he also had no soul and looked completely lifeless.
But when he saw Xia Yiqing, his eyes lit up again.
As if a puppet was suddenly injected with soul, Qi Hanmu slowly leaned towards her. His breathing was slightly heavy, and there was still cyanosis on his lips, but he still reached out tremblingly, trying to take the medicine from her hand.
Somehow, Xia Yiqing felt a little confused.
Not only did she not loosen the bottle cap, but she gently pressed the man's chin, pushed it open, and forced him to open his mouth. Then she poured the medicine in the bottle cap into the bottle, took out the thermos, and handed it to him.
The car behind honked its horn.
This time they happened to encounter the morning rush hour. The person behind them might have been in a hurry to get to work. He slid past their car door and almost scraped off the rearview mirror in front of the car. Fortunately, Xia Yiqing turned left in time.
"How can you drive like this?" Xia Yiqing was still in shock. She started the car and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
After a long while, a soft "hmm" came from the man next to him.
The car was moving slowly in the traffic, but Xia Yiqing couldn't help but pay attention to the man. She heard him laugh softly, with a slightly doting tone.
"Well done."
"You," Xia Yiqing didn't look at him. She was concentrating on observing the situation around the car.
"Do you all like encouragement so much?"
There was another chuckle from the man.
There was a calmness between his brows, his slender knuckles stretched out, his hands folded on his abdomen, his facial features straight and upright. He should have given people a sense of majesty, but at this moment he revealed a hint of softness, as if his heroic spirit was mixed with a bit of tenderness. It didn't seem strange, but rather moving.
"Qingqing, what do you think? I don't seem to have that much to say to other people."
Perhaps it was because his voice was too deep and magnetic. Even though Xia Yiqing gripped the steering wheel tightly twice, the tips of her ears still turned red.
She felt her face was a little hot, perhaps because the air conditioning was not on in the car.
It's not sunny outside, but a little cloudy.
Xia Yiqing drove the car into the basement, parked it neatly, turned off the engine, opened the door, unbuckled her seatbelt, and reminded the man next to her, "We're here, get out."
But these words were like a stone dropped into the sea. One could only see it slowly sinking, but heard no response.
Xia Yiqing paused as she was about to get off the car and looked back. She found that the man's brows were tightly furrowed, his breathing was a little heavy, and his lips were pale. He looked extremely uneasy.
"You..." Xia Yiqing suddenly had an idea and thought of the man's tearful eyes last night.
Could it be that he had another nightmare and thought he wanted to run away?
"Wake up," Xia Yiqing thought about it and decided not to let him stay trapped in this nightmare. She tried to pat his shoulder gently with her hand, "Hey, we're here."
The man did not get up because of her action. Instead, he tilted his head slightly to the side and frowned, as if he was unhappy, as if someone had disturbed his sleep.
"If you don't leave, I'll leave on my own."
Xia Yiqing was still thinking about cleaning up the house quickly and moving in, so she was about to get out of the car and leave, but she accidentally glanced back and found that something was missing from the man's ear.
She slowly lowered her gaze to the pocket of Qi Hanmu's suit jacket.
It was slightly bulging, so she reached out and touched it, grabbing two small things that looked like earphones. They were Qi Hanmu's hearing aids.
She wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but maybe she was not very skilled, so Xia Yiqing tried several times but failed. Suddenly, she heard a short chuckle.
As luck would have it, the man opened his eyes at this moment.
