Su Yunbai looked at Huo Qinian.

He was sitting on a chair in front of the bed, his elbows resting on his knees, his body leaning forward, his whole body facing her direction, very close to her. So

close that she could almost see her reflection in his eyes.

This was the posture of a guardian. It seemed that his heart and eyes were full of her.

Su Yunbai's heart couldn't help but tremble.

She subconsciously looked away, and actually felt a little uncomfortable, "You say."

Huo Qinian himself didn't notice that the corners of his mouth curved quickly, and then quickly disappeared.

He said: "I may not have done well enough in some things, and I may not be honest enough, but at least I have never lied to you. Do you agree with this?"

Su Yunbai thought about it and nodded.

Lies are meant to cover up certain facts, but Huo Qinian has always disdained to cover up in front of her.

He has the capital to live with a clear conscience, both emotionally and materially.

It's really enviable.

"I have never lied to you. What I am going to say next is also the truth..." Huo Qinian paused here, looking a little hesitant, as if the next words were a little difficult for him.

He was really not used to explaining, especially explaining that matter.

But my aunt was right, she was his wife, and if the trust between each other required a certain degree of honesty, then this time, he could compromise.

Huo Qinian said: "I once met a crazy suitor. No, I should say she is a psychopath and paranoid. Unfortunately, her family has a strong background..."

Huo Qinian frowned uncomfortably, with a bit of disgust in his expression, "Anyway, something bad happened. During this process, Qingyin helped me - although I didn't need it, I owe her a favor."

What exactly is it that requires Qu Qingyin's help?

Su Yunbai couldn't help but look up at him.

Huo Qinian seemed a little annoyed: "This matter is too disgusting, I don't want to say too much. But don't get me wrong, her help is the kind that has nothing to do with gender, and someone else can do it.

"I owe her a favor in this matter."

Huo Qinian's expression relaxed a little, "You may not know that the Qu family has been getting worse day by day. After Qingyin's mother passed away, her father openly welcomed the mistress into the family. The mistress brought a son who was one year older than Qingyin...

"In short, it's the same story of the mistress and the illegitimate child of the main wife. In this circle, this is actually not a rare thing.

"The current head of the Qu family is still Qingyin's father, but the successor is the illegitimate son of the Qu family, who was forcibly promoted.

"The illegitimate son and his mother are very hostile to Qingyin..."

"More than half a year ago, Qingyin's father had a stroke, and the illegitimate son took over the Qu family. Qingyin returned to China because of this, but the family was not a family, and the mistress and her son still wanted to take advantage of her..."

Huo Qinian said here, looking at Su Yunbai, "If the Qu family is still the Qu family of the past, and Qingyin is still the apple of the Qu family's eye, the favor I owed her back then would just be regarded as friends helping each other.

"But the Qu family is not the same as before. The favors I owe must be repaid as a debt of gratitude.

" "Do you understand what I mean?"

The mother and son of the Qu family dared to set their sights on Qu Qingyin, simply because they saw that she had lost her protection.

Huo Qinian wanted to repay her favor,

and the best way was to give her support. In this area of ​​City A, is there anything more useful than the face of Young Master Huo?

Huo Qinian showed a sarcastic smile on his face and continued, "There are all kinds of people in our circle, and there is never a shortage of people who are in cahoots with the rich and powerful. Once you lose power, so many evil things will come to you.

"So, I held up a skin for her, just as a way to repay her favor."

Su Yunbai felt relieved in his heart, but also a little uneasy.

To save face for others is nothing more than to flatter her.

But when will it end? At what level can it be considered as repaying the favor?

Xu Shiyuan once said jokingly that it is best for a man not to have a childhood sweetheart or a confidante...

She thought it was unreasonable at the time, but now she has a little understanding of this feeling.

Su Yunbai was still struggling when she heard Huo Qinian's chuckle, muffled, as if overflowing from his throat, revealing undisguised joy.

She subconsciously raised her head and met Huo Qinian's eyes.

He looked at her, laughing loudly and wantonly, his eyes were filled with light, and his whole body was full of youthfulness.

He moved closer to her and said with a smile, "Why are you so jealous?"

The low voice seemed to be pressed against Su Yunbai's ear, revealing a feeling of whispering and affection.

Su Yunbai's scalp tingled when she heard it, and no matter how hard she tried, her whole face turned red all of a sudden. She didn't know whether it was because of Huo Qinian at the moment, or because she was worried that her little thoughts were seen through.

Huo Qinian didn't dare to provoke her too much, so he took a step back and sat back on the chair.

There was an irrepressible sense of elation on his face, but what he said was very down-to-earth: "Repaying a favor is repaying a favor, and I know the limits.

"As the saying goes, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish'. I recruited her into Huo's Media, gave her preferential treatment, and guaranteed that as long as she had the ability, she could move up step by step. That's enough."

Su Yunbai didn't say anything.

Huo Qinian looked at her, with a cautious look on his face: "Even so, I can't say that I will never care about her again, especially at those messy drinking and dining parties...

"But I never thought of stepping on you to save her face...

"Can you give me more trust in the future?"

Su Yunbai's heart was a little confused.

He said "in the future".

What he meant was, do they have a future?

Is he explaining?

Is he trying to save the relationship?

Will Huo Qinian also save the relationship?

Huo Qinian was still looking at Su Yunbai, waiting for her answer.

It was that look again.

It was that look of being taken seriously and being seen...

Su Yunbai felt a sudden pang in his heart, but he was willing to give it up.

Since he wanted to talk, he would talk it out today.

Su Yunbai took a deep breath and said, "In fact, what I care about is never Qu Qingyin."

In Su Yunbai's opinion, everyone is clear-headed in love. Most of those who can be deceived by false love are deceiving themselves.

They are willing to be kept in the dark and weave lies of love for themselves. In fact, in a relationship, whether the other party cares about you or not is a very obvious thing.

Love is a matter between two people, even if there is a third party, it is also a matter between two people. What

Su Yunbai cares about is not Qu Qingyin herself, but the cold Huo Qinian.

She did not feel the softness and warmth from Huo Qinian.

Su Yunbai looked at Huo Qinian with a serious expression: "Of course I can give you trust, but Qinian, I also want to ask you, in your heart, what kind of existence am I...?"

She actually wanted to ask him whether he loved her or not.

Love or not... Before she even said it, she was timid. She

even felt a little hypocritical.

In fact, still doubting whether he loved her or not, in itself has already explained the problem.

Such a simple truth, how could he, such a smart person, not understand it?

Yes, how could he not understand it?

Su Yunbai pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a self-deprecating smile.
