Su Yunbai was not sleeping soundly. Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear the sound of the heels of shoes rubbing against the carpet, swish, swish, swish, steady and low, again and again, revealing a very unique calmness.

The sound of footsteps... Huo Qinian?

Su Yunbai opened her eyes and turned her head.

The light of the crystal chandelier above her head was not bright, but it was still too dazzling for Su Yunbai who had just woken up. She subconsciously squinted slightly and half covered her eyes with her hands.

At this time, she vaguely saw a familiar shadow.

Su Yunbai ignored the overly dazzling light and looked up.

Huo Qinian was sitting on the sofa opposite Su Yunbai, with one hand idly resting on the armrest of the sofa, and the other hand leaning against the armrest, half supporting his face, with his index finger tapping his temple from time to time, looking relaxed.

His line of sight did not have a specific focus, but just casually scattered in the air, lazy and very careless.

He was probably born to fit this temperament of not paying attention to anything, and his careless look had a kind of magic that made people unable to look away.

For example, now, his pair of peach blossom eyes melted the crystal light above his head, appearing darker and deeper, as if melted by starlight. Add to that his handsome eyebrows and straight nose bridge...

The person who was daydreaming under the light not only did not seem approachable, but instead had a more mysterious flavor, making people want to look again and again.

Su Yunbai watched quietly for a long time.

Huo Qinian, who was daydreaming, seemed to notice that she woke up, and his eyes turned and met Su Yunbai's gaze.

He raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth naturally rose, bringing out the kind of smile that Su Yunbai was used to seeing, and even his voice seemed to contain a hint of lightness: "Are you awake? Why don't you go back to your room to sleep if you are tired?"

Su Yunbai lowered his eyes, sat up, picked up the laptop from under the coffee table and put it aside, explaining: "It's not time to go to bed yet. And I was thinking of reading something, but I didn't expect to fall asleep."

Huo Qinian hinted, but it seemed to be just a joke: "Teacher Su also gets sleepy sometimes?"

Su Yunbai didn't answer, but asked: "Are you less busy today?"

She just touched the computer and took a look at the time. It was only after eight o'clock in the evening. How could Huo Qinian be seen at this time normally?

Huo Qinian stood up and leaned forward. "It's OK. There's no such thing as finishing work all the time."

He said, pushing the paper bag on the tea table forward. "I just happened to pass by and bought some cakes. See if you like them?"

Su Yunbai only saw the things on the tea table then and was slightly surprised.

She recognized the packaging.

What a coincidence? She has been visiting this store frequently recently.

Thinking of this, she suddenly paused.

How could it be such a coincidence? She must have bought it specially.

Su Yunbai couldn't help but laugh and cry.

She has indeed been patronizing this store frequently recently. But the problem is that she didn't buy it for herself.

When Huo Qinian's men were collecting information about her preferences, they probably only searched the beginning and didn't track down the results.

But this was not the first time that this had happened. Su Yunbai was used to it and could even pretend to be surprised. "It's theirs."

She unwrapped the oil paper, took out a small piece of green bean cake and took a bite.

Huo Qinian's eyes swept over the cluster of green cakes wrapped in oil paper on the porcelain white tea table, focusing on the crumbs around the cakes, and then immediately looked away without making a sound.

He didn't like things that would break into pieces everywhere, so he simply didn't want to be bothered by them.

Huo Qinian stood up, walked to the center island, and soon came over with a glass of wine and two wine glasses.

He uncorked the bottle, shook the wine in his hand towards Su Yunbai, and invited her with a smile: "Have a drink? Very low alcohol."

Before Su Yunbai could retort, the bottle in Huo Qinian's hand had already tilted slightly.

With a light thud, the dark red wine hit the bottom of the crystal wine glass, and then accumulated higher and higher in the beautiful wine glass.

The soft light of the crystal chandelier penetrated the wine glass and the wine, and refracted a series of faint and dizzy ripples on the coffee table. Su Yunbai watched these ripples gradually stabilize, and then raised her head to look at Huo Qinian.

Night, wine, Huo Qinian who came home on time and seemed to be very interested in chatting with her...

For a moment, Su Yunbai felt that she might not wake up and was still dreaming.

But they were all adults, so she wouldn't deceive herself.

Before Huo Qinian's glass was about to touch hers, Su Yunbai reached out to cover the rim of the glass and sighed, "Qinian, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Huo Qinian paused, then naturally took the glass back and took a sip.

He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my aunt wants to treat us to a meal. What do you think?"

Su Yunbai's face fell when he heard this, and his eyes slowly turned cold.

Huo Qinian raised his eyebrows slightly, but continued: "You know this kind of person, Auntie, she is used to being strong and has a quick temper. She should have realized that she was wrong about what happened before. She wants to treat us to a meal, and she also wants to apologize..."

Su Yunbai didn't wait for him to finish, and asked: "Qinian, do you know what she said and did that day?"

She looked at Huo Qinian, her expression was very serious, even a little tense.

Huo Qinian narrowed his eyes slightly.

About a month ago, Su Yunbai and Huo Qinian's aunt Huo Manying had a conflict, and the two have not reconciled to this day.

Huo Qinian actually didn't know what his aunt Huo Manying did that day, which made Su Yunbai, who never made things difficult for others, so angry that she still hasn't calmed down.

Although he didn't know the details, Huo Qinian realized that this was a good opportunity to test her -

he said: "Aunt expressed regret to me, but she didn't tell me too many details at that time. I only know roughly that it seems to be related to... 'inducing labor'?"

Su Yunbai's face became more tense, and there was even a cold light in her eyes, and a bit of well-hidden sadness.

She always knew that Huo Manying didn't like her, but she always thought that Huo Manying was an elder after all, and she had been active in the business circle of City A as the mistress of the Huo family, representing the Huo family in foreign affairs... She was also hardworking and meritorious, so she always respected her.

But I didn’t expect that some people don’t know how to write the word “respect” from the bottom of their hearts.

Huo Manying is not worthy at all!

Su Yunbai thought of Huo Manying, and he was angry and hateful, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a while.

When Huo Qinian saw that Su Yunbai did not refute it at the first time, he felt relieved.

It seems that it is really related to this topic.

She has reacted so strongly until now, she should not be pregnant?

Huo Qinian was slightly relieved.

But when he remembered that Huo Manying had put pressure on Su Yunbai to have a baby behind his back, his face was not very good. She

even dared to interfere in his affairs!

Aunt's hands are too long.

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai, and this time he was sincere: "Don't worry, leave this to me. We are still young, and there is no need to rush for the child."

He said, and comforted Su Yunbai: "I know you are still in the rising period, and you don't care about others, and you are focused on your career. I support this... Don't worry, no one will dare to be blind in the future!" There

was a strong self-confidence in his words, and even a bit of finality.

Su Yunbai saw this, and the anger in her head stagnated slightly.

She didn't really analyze Huo Qinian's words just now, but she was a sharp person after all. After calming down, she carefully pondered Huo Qinian's words and expression.

She soon noticed something different.

"Don't worry about the child in advance", "Don't care about other things", "Focus on your career"...

Is this what he meant?

He was hinting to her.

But after nearly three years of marriage, they have never talked about topics related to children. Why did he suddenly hint at it?

Su Yunbai suddenly thought of her check-up in the daytime.

Is it such a coincidence?

Su Yunbai's eyes fell uncontrollably on the cakes on the coffee table, and stayed on the wine glass for a long time.

Pregnant women are prone to sleepiness.

Pregnant women are prone to hunger.

Pregnant women can't drink alcohol...

Su Yunbai's heart slowly rose with a chill, and the bitter feeling rushed towards her like a tide, suffocating her so much that she couldn't even breathe.

She slightly widened her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the suffocating feeling like drowning.

Huo Qinian noticed that she looked different and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Su Yunbai turned away subconsciously and picked up the wine glass on the tea table to cover up, "Oh, nothing, I'm just a little relieved..."

Relieved that it was just a false alarm.

Relieved that she didn't end up in such a terrible situation.

Su Yunbai could feel Huo Qinian's gaze.

Yes, he has always been a very sharp person, and he is a person who will not stop until he achieves his goal.

Su Yunbai really didn't want to stay here any longer, and she didn't want to compete with the famous President Huo in the next few days just to verify some ridiculous facts...

Instead of that, it would be better for her to give him a definite answer herself.

Su Yunbai forced herself to suppress the surging emotions, raised her wine glass, and toasted Huo Qinian across a cup of tea, "For our consensus - work first!"

Without waiting for Huo Qinian to react, she held the wine glass, raised her head, and drank the wine in the glass in an almost forced manner.

Huo Qinian was a little surprised.

He had never seen Su Yunbai drink so "generously".

Su Yunbai's posture of holding the wine glass was a little strange, so that from Huo Qinian's perspective, he could only see that her hand holding the wine glass was slowly lifting up, just covering her eyes.

The wine in the glass became less and less, and soon it was empty.

Su Yunbai put down the wine glass.

The cup legs collided with the teacup, making a crisp ding sound that was strangely harsh.

Su Yunbai stood up, still with her eyes downcast, "I'm really not in the mood to eat. Let's stop here today, and you should go to bed early."

She left in a hurry.

Huo Qinian sat where he was, watching Su Yunbai enter the master bedroom on the second floor, then he gently shook the wine glass in his hand and sipped the wine.

Yunbai is not a willful person. If she was pregnant, she would definitely not touch the wine.

It seems that she is really not pregnant.

However, he did not expect that she would leave so evasively.

It seems that his aunt has really offended someone this time.

In fact, the so-called "Huo Manying invites you to dinner" was just an excuse that Huo Qinian said in a hurry.

Huo Manying was used to being overbearing. Not to mention whether she realized that she had done something wrong, even if she really realized it, she would never bow down to Su Yunbai.

The one who really wanted to apologize was someone else.

Huo Qinian thought about it, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The call was quickly picked up, and a crisp voice rang out in a hurry: "Cousin, have you told my cousin's wife? Did my cousin's wife agree?"

Huo Qinian swirled his wine glass leisurely. The light reflected on the wine, casting streams of light in his eyes. His mood was like the flickering light, gradually becoming lighter and brighter.

He said, "Don't be in a hurry. Tell me first, what did your mother do at that time?"

He was rarely curious.
