Chapter 95: The soothing man's voice was a little deep, like a cello...
The man's voice was a little deep, like variations of a cello in the moonlight. No matter how he played it, the tone that flowed out was particularly charming.
Xia Yiqing happened to be almost ready. She picked up her bag and said, "I'm getting ready to go out."
The girl's lip gloss today is more vibrant, with a brighter red color. Her eyes are as bright as stars, and when she blinks, her eyelashes lightly sweep across, which can inadvertently capture people's hearts.
The sun just happened to bloom at this moment, falling beside the girl and making her fair skin even brighter.
She just tilted her head, smiled at him with the corners of her mouth slightly pursed, as if she was a god who had descended from heaven to earth, unattainable.
With a lump in his throat, Qi Hanmu pretended not to know about Xia Yiqing's conversation with Su Huanhuan the previous day. "Did I disturb you by sending you a message last night? But it's so late, why aren't you still asleep?"
"It's just for this matter," Xia Yiqing, still wearing her soft slippers, walked a few steps to the man's side, looked up at him, and showed him her white and neat teeth.
"It's okay, I didn't disturb you. I wasn't asleep at that time."
The two of them were less than half a meter apart. The cold fragrance on Qi Hanmu's body seemed to have become a spirit, drilling into Xia Yiqing's nostrils, and then clinging to Xia Yiqing's clothes, leaving her nowhere to hide.
The air was filled with the scent of wood. Xia Yiqing subconsciously held her breath, but her face turned red unexpectedly, and she didn't even notice it.
When Qi Hanmu gently pinched her nose, Xia Yiqing belatedly felt a heat creeping up her cheeks. When she heard the man say "breathe", she remained calm on the surface, but in fact, her ears were almost red.
How can this person be serious and say such flirting words.
"Who isn't breathing?" Xia Yiqing dodged backwards, clutching her bag tightly, and tried to get past Qi Hanmu by the side of her body, but the man blocked her way with one hand.
"What are you doing? Why don't you let people go to work?"
The girl's pair of distinct black and white eyes looked up from below, crystal clear, like the finest kind of jadeite, which was even incomparable to some other jades, giving people a feeling of innocent and coquettishness without caring about the world.
Qi Hanmu unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, his chest shook twice, and he let out a few muffled laughs, "No, it's just that your hair wasn't combed properly, and a strand of it stuck up."
"ah?"
Xia Yiqing quickly reached out to look for it, but because of the strong wind outside, the strands of hair on her forehead that were barely fixed together began to flutter around, swaying in front of her eyes like seaweed.
Now it was even more impossible to find the messy strand of hair. Xia Yiqing squinted her eyes and saw through her hair the display on her watch. It was almost time to depart, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
What's going on? Bad things keep happening. My hair is not well-groomed and time has come again.
Maybe another typhoon is coming. There is a strong wind outside. The wind that sneaks in through the window is so strong that it messes up the hair of the two people and also invisibly brings them closer together.
Xia Yiqing smiled and touched the top of Qi Hanmu's head, and the sound was torn into several fragments by the wind.
"Hey, you said my hair was messed up by the wind."
Qi Hanmu didn't say anything, but there was a smile on his lips from beginning to end. His gaze stayed on the girl for a very long time.
From the moment he saw her, his gaze never moved away, and the doting in his eyes was almost overflowing like a sweet ocean.
Even though no one spoke anymore, the two of them were in sync and didn't bother with their hair. Instead, the man bent his knees slightly and the girl stood on tiptoe to tidy up the hair on the other's head.
"Actually," Xia Yiqing arranged the last strand of Qi Hanmu's hair. It happened that the wind was weak at that time, and the hairstyle was fixed.
"Third Master, you are quite handsome."
As soon as these words came out, the wind started to blow. Xia Yiqing quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Qi Hanmu's face.
Oh my god, she just thought in her heart, how could she just let it out of her mouth? How could the two of them meet again? How could she live her life?
Fortunately, Qi Hanmu didn't take it to heart and just made a harmless joke, "It's my honor to make you feel good about it."
The words "Am I not good-looking enough?" had already reached the tip of his tongue. Qi Hanmu chewed it twice without leaving any trace, broke it into pieces, and swallowed it back.
On weekdays, not only does he not dress up, he is either lying in bed unable to move, or exhausted after work. No matter how high-end his clothes are or how fancy the accessories he wears are, they cannot hide the tiredness on his face.
In addition to being ill all year round, his complexion probably wasn't good either.
What's so good about him, and what's so worth watching about him?
Xia Yiqing is naturally sensitive to other people's emotions, it's just a matter of whether she wants to receive them or not.
Just like now, she clearly felt a low pressure shrouding Qi Hanmu. Although Qi Hanmu's behavior was a little inexplicable and she didn't quite understand it, Xia Yiqing chose to respect him.
"It's getting late," she raised her right hand wearing the watch, tapped the dial with her left hand, and smiled brightly at Qi Hanmu.
"I'm off."
Compared with the girl three years ago, Xia Yiqing now has a bit more calmness and intellectual beauty, and even her gait is much more calm and elegant than before. The hem of her skirt passes by you, bringing with it the fragrance of osmanthus and citrus.
Qi Hanmu endured it until Xia Yiqing walked outside and got into the car. The two waved goodbye, then he squatted down, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and coughed heart-wrenchingly.
There was no way. His body was so delicate that even smelling the perfume would make him feel uncomfortable for a long time. It was good that he didn't have an attack on the spot.
He kept coughing until his chest was about to fall apart. Qi Hanmu finally took out the aerosol from his inner pocket, put it to his mouth, sprayed it several times, and his breathing gradually became steady.
Although he was a little breathless just now, Qi Hanmu still felt palpitations. After all, he didn't sleep all night last night.
Having physical contact with Xia Yiqing was one reason, but what worried him the most was that Xia Yiqing asked Su Huanhuan about the person she liked.
It seems like she has someone she likes.
Although I'm not sure, could this person be him?
It should be that Qi Hanmu clenched his fists tightly, but after just having an attack, his fingertips were still trembling and he had almost no strength. Just when he clenched his fists, they would shake and then loosen.
This feeling of powerlessness was so obvious that even when Qi Hanmu pressed the bell, it was difficult for him to bend his fingertips. Even when he pressed down, he didn't have enough strength, so he could only straighten them up and press with his knuckles.
If that didn't work, he used the area under his thumb and pressed down with all his strength, and then the bell on Butler Qi's side rang.
Butler Qi was quick and agile. Seeing the mess on the table and his master sitting in a wheelchair in an awkward position, he didn't say much. He quickly cleaned up the table and pushed Qi Hanmu back to the bedroom in the wheelchair.
The one next to the main villa.
Just as he was about to push her in, Qi Hanmu pressed the pause button on the wheelchair. His voice was still a little hoarse, but he had already regained some of the demeanor of a superior. "Go back to my wife's room."
Butler Qi naturally didn't say anything. He turned the wheelchair around and, with the sound of the wheelchair rolling quietly on the ground, took their master to the master bedroom of the main villa.
Xia Yiqing, whose home was "stolen" by Qi Hanmu, ran quickly in the strong wind, but she was still quite elegant and calm. Her high heels did not fall off, and she successfully checked in at the last minute.
When she arrived at the office, Xiao An was already waiting. Seeing her, Xiao An bowed her head and greeted her, "Mr. Xia, the documents you need to review today are all here. Would you like tea or coffee today?"
After a good sleep last night, Xia Yiqing was still in good spirits. She asked them to remove all the drinks and replace them with a glass of warm water.
The meeting with Chen from the city is tentatively scheduled for the afternoon. The other party has already had a round of contact with them and expressed satisfaction with Fang Yue's proposal, but has not yet made a final conclusion.
In short, although they should not be dissatisfied, the fact is that they can regret it at any time.
In order not to give them this opportunity, and also for the sake of those team members who stayed up late and had dark circles under their eyes, Xia Yiqing also worked overtime to review these documents.
Xia Yiqing was so immersed in work that she lost track of the world and ignored the message sent by the man.
"Have you eaten yet?"
There was no reply for a long time, and dark clouds had already gathered outside. Some were light gray, and many were lead gray or even darker blue, covering Yiyuan like a pot lid.
Qi Hanmu was not in a good mood today. He had just had an attack and could not be exposed to the wind, so he had closed the windows long ago.
Through the glass, the treetops outside were shaking constantly, and every branch was trembling, as if the unarmed people were facing a powerful enemy and were begging for mercy.
This scene was inexplicably disturbing, especially the gathering gray clouds that had long blocked out the sunlight, making one's heart sink and feel inexplicably suffocated.
Of course, Qi Hanmu could also break away from all this, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out no matter what.
It was already half past twelve, Xia Yiqing's rest time, so she had time to check her phone. Why didn't she reply to the message he sent?
When people have free time, they tend to have random thoughts, especially Qi Hanmu who worked overtime this morning. He went through all the documents and financial statements he needed to look at, and after cursing loudly, he suddenly felt extremely empty.
If I think about it carefully, it seems like there is one less person around me that I can talk to.
However, Xia Yiqing was already quite busy with her work, which made it difficult for her to listen. If he said that he was bored now, wouldn't that just make Xia Yiqing feel more upset?
Xia Yiqing on the other end of the phone had no idea about this person's depressed thoughts. She was indeed very busy this morning, so she asked Xiao An to go to the cafeteria to pick up a few dishes and pack them up for lunch.
All of this is to ensure that the meeting with Chen in the afternoon goes smoothly.
After finally finishing a stack of documents, Xia Yiqing stood up under the pretext of drinking water. Feeling the soreness in her waist muscles, she stretched out her hands, stretched hard, and took a deep breath.
Huh? Looks like someone just sent her a message on her phone.
Who is it? Xia Yiqing was just about to turn on her phone when another file was delivered.
Helplessly, the phone had to be put aside temporarily.
As Xia Yiqing led the team to the signing location, she took the time to check her phone in the car and replied to Qi Hanmu, "I've eaten. If you can't eat, you don't have to for now. You can adapt slowly and bit by bit. Don't force yourself too much."
Xia Yiqing originally just wanted to appease the man's resentment for not being paid attention to by her this morning, but this message was sent not long after.
Even Xia Yiqing was in the car with the team members.
Qi Hanmu's video call came.
