Chapter 616 Did I Hurt You Last Night?
Huo Sijiao looked at him and said, "What else do you want to do?"
She was supposed to send it to the door, but she felt that was impolite, so she delivered it herself, but she didn't think of going in.
She and Xie Xubai had previously had a heated argument over a celebration banquet, which had been attended by many company employees. Huo Sijiao didn't want to deepen their misunderstanding, as she still couldn't let go of Shen Xuanzhi.
Ning Yuan lied seriously: "From what Mr. Xie said, it seems that he has something important to discuss with you. Why don't you go to the office and wait for a while? The regular meeting will end in more than ten minutes."
Huo Sijiao asked doubtfully, "What's the important thing?"
"Then you should ask Mr. Xie directly. I don't know anything about this." Ning Yuan smiled innocently. "Before coming to the company this morning, Mr. Xie went to the hospital."
He really devoted himself to Xie Xubai.
Huo Sijiao was skeptical, and the scene of last night flashed through her mind uncontrollably. Her fingers drooped at her sides, her palms slightly cold, and her fingertips numb.
She bit her lip. In the chaotic scene last night, had she used too much force?
The car had too much inertia when it braked suddenly, so she didn't press the button hard enough.
Did you go to the hospital this morning?
Huo Sijiao couldn't help but think more, could this be what Xie Xubai wanted to talk to her about?
His face was full of fearlessness, he looked at Ning Yuan and said, "Then please lead the way."
"OK."
Ning Yuan didn't know what was going on in the mind of the eldest daughter of the Huo family. There was no smile on her pretty face at all, but instead she looked a little sad and forbearing.
"Please come this way." Ning Yuan led the way in front with a respectful attitude.
Huo Sijiao followed him in, her heart in turmoil. The receptionist remained polite, but once she saw Huo Sijiao, her eyes revealed a hint of gossip.
This lady was not among the partners that Assistant Ning usually received, and she looked like a stranger.
Assistant Ning's attitude was more friendly and easy-going, and it didn't look like he was treating a partner.
The employees passing by in the lobby couldn't help but take a look at Huo Sijiao. Some middle and senior management recognized that she was Huo Xingzhou's sister, who had appeared at the celebration banquet.
At that time, there was a big conflict with Pei Chun. Miss Huo said in public that Mr. Xie was pursuing her, and the most important thing was that Mr. Xie did not deny it.
Over the years, Mr. Xie has maintained a clean and honest style, with only Pei Chun being the only person around him who has been clinging to him.
But Mr. Xie never overstepped the boundaries and always kept his distance.
Everyone knew that he didn't like Pei Chun.
They watched Ning Yuan take Huo Sijiao into the president's exclusive elevator, laughing and whispering.
"This Miss Huo might be our future boss lady."
"Hush, I went with President Xie when he went to Haicheng. At the dinner table, President Xie proposed marrying President Huo's sister. This marriage between the two families will be even stronger. Our Yunqi Group is also getting better and better. Maybe President Xie will get married soon."
"Is that what she's holding clothes? It doesn't look like a women's clothing bag."
"No wonder CEO Xie canceled all his outings today and moved all department meetings forward to today. The Finance Department is practically crying..."
…
The elevator reached the top floor.
Huo Sijiao followed Ning Yuan past the secretariat and walked to the end of the corridor.
Ning Yuan opened the door and said, "Ms. Huo, please come in. This is Mr. Xie's office. He will be here soon. Please sit here for a while. I'll make you some tea. Or would you like some coffee or a drink?"
"Warm water."
Huo Sijiao's mind was in a mess and she didn't have the leisure to drink tea or anything else.
She'd heard that men were vulnerable in certain areas, but she wasn't entirely sure what Xie Xubai was up to. He'd already reached the point of needing to go to the hospital, so she wasn't optimistic.
Ning Yuan said in a gentle tone: "Okay, please sit on the sofa and wait for a while. I'll go get you a glass of warm water."
He closed the door gently.
Huo Sijiao stood in the office and looked around. She saw simple wooden decorations all around.
The coffee table is a long, flowing wooden microcosm, with some small fish swimming around inside, which is very interesting to watch. At the very edge is a lotus incense ornament, which exudes a lingering sandalwood scent.
The furniture around is also in Chinese style, which is in line with Xie Xubai's elegant and traditional handsome temperament.
Huo Sijiao took a deep breath and sat on the sofa.
Ning Yuan quickly brought a cup of warm water and placed it on the coffee table in front of her. Huo Sijiao said thank you.
"Ms. Huo, please take a seat first. I'll go check on the situation in the conference room."
"Actually, there's no need to rush. Mr. Xie's work is more important." Huo Sijiao said subconsciously. She didn't know how to face Xie Xubai yet.
Ning Yuan smiled and was about to open the door when he saw Xie Xubai walking towards him.
He quickly stepped aside and said, "Mr. Xie, Miss Huo is waiting for you in the office. She said she came to bring you some clothes. I won't disturb you for now."
He was tactful enough to leave immediately.
Xie Xubai replied calmly, "Go keep an eye on the finance department. The accounts haven't been right lately."
"OK."
As soon as Ning Yuan left, Xie Xubai walked into the office and gently closed the door.
With a creak, the door tongue slid into the door lock.
Huo Sijiao couldn't help but stand up, looking at Xie Xubai with her back straight, her whole body filled with nervousness.
"Thank you, this is for you."
She handed over the bag in her hand, "I promised to compensate you for the clothes last night."
Xie Xubai glanced at the logo on the packaging bag and said, "That's thoughtful. Please sit down and talk."
"oh."
Huo Sijiao sat down obediently.
Her cheeks flushed and her ears burned.
I don't know what to say to start that conversation.
She calmed her agitated emotions and said, "Mr. Xie, when I was at the company gate, I heard Special Assistant Ning say that you had something very important to tell me. What is it?"
When Xie Xubai heard this, his eyebrows moved.
See through Ning Yuan's tricks.
He placed all the folders in his hands on the desk, walked over to sit opposite Huo Sijiao and said, "I don't have anything important to say. But you seem to be hesitant to speak. Is there something you want to say to me?"
"Well……"
Huo Sijiao was stunned for a moment.
She spoke with difficulty: "I heard from Special Assistant Ning that you went to the hospital this morning?"
"Yeah." Xie Xubai straightened his coat and said, "I did go there."
He was going for a routine check-up and had to go early in the morning on an empty stomach.
"That……"
Huo Sijiao puffed out her cheeks, looked at him again and again, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Did the doctor say what the problem was?"
"Hmm? Just a general checkup, nothing serious."
Xie Xubai said calmly as he poured himself a cup of hot tea on the tea table. The steam rose up, almost obscuring his handsome face.
In the blur, she felt that his eyes were gazing at her from afar.
Huo Sijiao pursed her lips, thinking that he might be embarrassed to say it.
But she wasn't one to be coy, so she took a deep breath, looked at Xie Xubai, and said, "Mr. Xie, forgive me for being frank. Did I hurt you last night?"
