Chapter 8: The pair of eyes that were faintly shining...
Seeing the pair of phoenix eyes with a faint glow, Xia Yiqing was stunned for a moment.
She knew the man had a good appearance, but she forgot he was such a stunning beauty.
The sunlight poured down and shone through the car window onto the man's porcelain-white skin, adding a bit of vitality to him. He looked like a god descending from heaven. His whole body was unspeakably gentle, and there seemed to be a layer of virtual light around him.
Xia Yiqing blinked, feeling that her car and his were not on the same level.
"Awake," she opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but suddenly remembered that Qi Hanmu couldn't hear now, so she simply stuffed the hearing aid into his hand, raised her finger to point at her ear, and then pointed outside the car.
"Put it on and get out of the car. If you walk too slowly, I won't wait for you."
The girl's cheeks were slightly puffed, probably because she was angry, but Qi Hanmu couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed like he hadn't seen her so lively for some time.
Because the two of them were only tied together by a marriage agreement, although Xia Yiqing could be by his side, she was ultimately restricted.
Qi Hanmu knew it at the time and was anxious, but there was no way for him to adapt better. Unexpectedly, once the agreement expired and their identities changed, he became the one chasing after her, and she was willing to show him her temper.
Xia Yiqing had already gotten out of the car before him, and started walking forward without even looking back to see if he could catch up.
"Qingqing," Xia Yiqing quickly turned her head and saw the man half leaning against the car, with a smile on his lips and a sickly pale face.
"I can't lift it."
He tapped the trunk with his long, beautiful finger.
Xia Yiqing looked over and found that the man had an innocent look in his eyes. His phoenix eyes, which were usually hard to see through, were now extremely clear.
"You..." Xia Yiqing's mouth twitched. She still had her backpack on her back. "Can't you bring someone with you to help you carry the suitcase? Wouldn't it be easier to push the suitcase?"
Although she expressed disgust, she still opened the trunk with good patience and prepared to reach out and take out Qi Hanmu's suitcase.
As soon as she picked it up, Xia Yiqing couldn't help but lean forward and whispered "Ouch".
Wow, this thing is really not light, it’s almost as heavy as half of her.
Just as Xia Yiqing was grimacing, wondering how to deal with the suitcase, a pair of hands passed by her and grabbed the handle next to the suitcase. With a light lift, the muscles in her hands exerted force and lifted the suitcase.
The veins on those hands were slightly exposed and expanded, immersed in the beautiful cufflinks, revealing a hint of temptation.
She began to understand that being sick and being weak seemed to be different.
"...You can handle it, why are you calling me?"
"I just didn't have the strength."
Xia Yiqing glared at him, and the man's originally calm eyebrows suddenly curved, and then he smiled, as if when spring came, the ice and snow in the mountains melted, and the stream flowing down the river made a ding-dong sound, clear and alluring.
The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat, and she could only hum, "Your strength is recovering pretty quickly now."
"Yeah," Qi Hanmu didn't try to be too stubborn, and walked to her left side with his suitcase, his steps nonchalant.
"As long as I'm by Qingqing's side, my illness always gets better quickly."
Xia Yiqing pretended not to hear his words and only asked, "I'll go to the company to take care of some business later. Mr. Qi can go and take care of yours. I won't be back tonight because I want to go out and play with my friends."
"I don't have anything to do recently," Qi Hanmu followed Xia Yiqing in the elevator to the sixth floor. It might be his first time in such an affordable residential complex, and there was a hint of inquiry and curiosity in his eyes.
"Now I just want to be by your side. If President Xia is willing, please take me with you when you go to the company. I don't know how to do other things, but I do know how to grind coffee and pass documents. These are small things.
"Also, Qingqing promised me that she would take me out to play tonight. What? You don't want to deny it?"
Xia Yiqing walked out of the elevator expressionlessly, pressed the code, and opened the door.
After the password lock made a "Duang" sound, the door opened with a click. Xia Yiqing did not rush in, but frowned and began to look around from the outside.
She hadn't lived in this house for some years and hadn't thought of cleaning it this way. She thought there wouldn't be much dust if the doors and windows were closed, but she didn't expect there would be so much dust as soon as she opened the door. Even the shoe rack was covered with a layer of black dust.
“Cough cough cough…”
Xia Yiqing was still thinking about whether to clean from the inside to the outside, or from the outside to the inside, when a burst of light coughing broke out beside her. It could be heard that the cough was suppressed, but it seemed to have little effect.
The suppressed cough made people feel more sympathetic. At least Xia Yiqing felt a little distressed.
She turned her head and found that the man had a mask covering his face, but the upper half of his face was still pale.
At this moment, he leaned forward slightly, placed his hand on his chest, and coughed carefully, one by one. When Xia Yiqing looked over, his phoenix eyes also raised and glanced at her.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but a trace of panic flashed across the depths of that person's eyes.
It was indeed a bit shocking. Xia Yiqing was stunned for a moment before she reluctantly accepted that Qi Hanmu, the big boss known for his inhumanity, was actually willing to restrain his minions, not want anyone to follow him, and stay by her side without any status or position.
Several emotions intertwined, and Xia Yiqing could only utter, "If you feel uncomfortable, find a place to stand outside. I'll call you after I'm done cleaning."
"Do you need... me to call someone to help?" Qi Hanmu's voice was a little breathless, but his pronunciation was still clear.
Xia Yiqing paused as she was about to pick up the cleaning tools.
She thought shamefully that it wasn't impossible. There were so many things to do at the company anyway, so it might as well be better to go early. So she raised her eyes and gave Qi Hanmu a genuine smile. "Okay, then I'll ask President Qi to have someone clean up here. I'll go to the company first."
"you……"
Xia Yiqing called out, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Hanmu looked at Xia Yiqing's shining eyes, and the words "Why don't you take me to the company with you" were stuck in his throat, unable to be said or swallowed.
Maybe it's a bit awkward, but when I say this, it sounds a bit sad.
"It's okay, I'll leave first." Xia Yiqing didn't hesitate too much. She put down her backpack, pointed, and nodded at Qi Hanmu.
"Remember to put my bag in there after you finish cleaning. If you don't know what to do with the things inside, just leave them there until I come back."
After she finished speaking, Xia Yiqing didn't give Qi Hanmu another chance to speak. She stood up, strode out, pressed the elevator button, got in, and closed the door, all in one go.
The elevator floors flickered and slowly descended, and the man standing next to it curled his lips slightly, with a hint of loneliness in his phoenix eyes.
He is so shameful that people would rather let him stay at home to clean than take him to the company for a walk.
Wait, Qi Hanmu's eyes slowly lit up again. Home must be more important than the company. Qingqing is willing to entrust the hygiene of the home to him, which definitely proves that Qingqing trusts him.
Perhaps because of excitement and inhaling some dust, Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple moved up and down several times. He couldn't cover it, so he covered his mouth and started coughing again.
The result of forcing himself to stay and supervise others cleaning was that Qi Hanmu had to call his personal doctor Qin Fei over again.
“Hmm…”
Qi Hanmu was lying on a clean bed. The sheet next to him was light yellow with small flower decorations. It rose and fell slightly with his breathing, but the amplitude was not large, which made people wonder if it would stop moving in the next second.
Qin Fei stood beside him and adjusted the flow rate of the drip, and couldn't help but say a few more words, "I'm not saying, why did you make yourself sick again when you were fine?
"It's only been a few days since I was released from the hospital. Why did I suddenly have a fever and my asthma came back? What's going on? I don't want to live anymore."
Although he knew that Qin Fei was just joking, Qi Hanmu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and slowly raised his eyes.
"Then tell me, how long can I live? If I don't make trouble, can I grow old with her?"
"Hey, I was wondering why. It turns out it's all for her again. How could this Xia Yiqing be so charming that our Jiangcheng's cold-faced Third Master would torture himself to this point, half-dead, for her?"
"Don't talk too much."
Qi Hanmu had a calm expression on his face, with a needle hanging on the back of his left hand. Due to his heart and lung problems, he couldn't lie flat, so he stuffed a few pillows and even a few dolls behind him. In an emergency, he could only put Xia Yiqing on the sofa and bring all the other dolls over to use together.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Qi, you are the best," Qin Fei pouted, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he looked outward, raised his eyebrows slightly,
"But I've already said that this water has to be hanging for at least an hour. It's almost time to get off work now, right? Aren't you afraid that Xia Yiqing will come back and see you like this?"
Maybe it really is what you say.
The combination lock beeped, the door clicked, the combination lock was opened, and the door moved inward. Someone was coming back.
Qi Hanmu really wanted to give Qin Fei a big slap in the face. Didn't he know how sharp his mouth was? Especially when it came to saying bad things, why did he say it at this time?
Qin Fei's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He hadn't expected that his mouth was so clever. His words came true as soon as he finished speaking. The door opened right after he finished speaking. It was really a bit unexpected.
Xia Yiqing outside had no idea what the two men were thinking.
She pushed open the door and when she changed her shoes, she keenly discovered that the top of the shoe cabinet had been cleaned. Not to mention the dust, even mosquitoes would slip if they ran on it.
Moving my gaze to the floor, I saw that the originally ordinary tiles were now smooth and shiny. The setting sun outside shone in, reflecting the afterglow and brightening people's eyes.
The windows were all open, and the wind slipped in through the screens, blowing up the light blue screens and then slowly letting them fall down.
As the sun sets, everything looks so beautiful, and the house is covered with a layer of golden light, if you ignore the unknown man standing at the door of the second bedroom.
"Who are you?"
Xia Yiqing forced herself to remain calm.
Qi Hanmu is a relatively responsible person. Since he has entrusted the house to him, he should not let anyone in casually. In other words, this man must have a relationship with Qi Hanmu, but he doesn't look like Qi Hanmu's assistant.
"I guess this must be Miss Xia Yiqingxia?" The tall, thin, elegant man smiled lightly. He had a completely different style from Qi Hanmu.
"I'm sorry, it was an emergency and I came in a hurry. Qi Hanmu didn't have time to inform you. After all, he is still lying in there."
No sooner said than done, there were several violent coughs coming from the inner room.
