Chapter 24: Horsley's Adam's Apple Rolls
Jiang Qin looked at the three big words "Xie Youan" on the note: "..."
I tried to take a deep breath to calm myself, but the distance between us was too close, and taking a deep breath at this moment seemed to be somewhat of an incrimination.
Or he treats Horsley as a fool.
But Huo Sili, the current actual ruler of the Huo family, one of the top wealthy families in Kyoto and the helmsman of the multinational group Huo, is stupid or not. Needless to say, she even had an intuition that during the two seconds she paused, he had already determined that the person who sent her the message was not Su Lejia.
But soon, Jiang Qin, who was unable to take a deep breath, adjusted her mood.
She raised her head and looked at Horsley calmly, trying to remain calm and remove the aggression from her tone as much as possible, trying to turn the passive position into the active one and divert Horsley's attention.
"It's not Lele, it's a former college classmate. We were chatting. What's the matter, Mr. Huo?"
The man stared at her with his calm black eyes, not knowing whether he really believed it or not.
But believe it or not, Jiang Qin doesn't really care that much. As long as he doesn't get close to her at this time, Jiang Qin will be grateful to him profusely.
However, what you fear will come true, and Horsley suddenly leaned over.
Jiang Qin's heart, which had stabilized, suddenly started beating faster and she couldn't help but hug the pillow tighter.
Seeing Huo Sili looking down at her, Jiang Qin raised her head and looked into his eyes.
In the critical moment, she thought quickly and put the phone aside while looking at each other. She pressed the knowledge manual on the inside of the pillow with her right thumb, put the pillow with the manual on the sofa, and stood up towards Huo Sili.
Chirp.
Kiss his handsome face.
Seeing Huo Sili's pupils shrink visibly, Jiang Qin took the opportunity to pull his tie, lean into his arms, and firmly attracted his attention.
She endured the discomfort in her heart, raised her eyes, and kissed his lips again.
Huo Sili's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he looked down at the woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
Just as I was about to say something, the beautiful baby in my arms spoke first, "What time did you get home today?"
As if this was an illusion, Huo Sili was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to figure out something. He was about to hug Jiang Qin tightly with his arms tangled.
In the ambiguous and confusing atmosphere, a phone call rang at an inopportune time.
Jiang Qin felt relieved instantly and reminded, "Your phone number."
"Yeah." Huo Sili was about to lift his hand that was hugging Jiang Qin and put it back to his side, then took out his cell phone.
Thinking of playing the whole play, Jiang Qin did not leave his arms immediately, but after hearing the sweet and soft voice coming from the other end of the phone.
As if she had encountered a mouse, she stood up suddenly and took two steps back.
In just two seconds, Horsley frowned and said, "I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at her and said, "I probably won't be back tonight. Go to bed early."
Jiang Qin's face showed no expression, "Yeah."
Huo Sili did not stay any longer and turned and left.
He disappeared from her sight like the wind, and with a click, the master bedroom door was closed.
Jiang Qin turned her head to look at the pillow on the sofa, then looked at the closed door.
I couldn’t explain what I was feeling at the moment, but I quickly went to the built-in washbasin and turned on the faucet.
She wet the face towel and wiped her lips vigorously, which were swollen from his kiss on Sunday and had not yet fully recovered to normal.
The second time, for Li Xueqin, he left home at night.
It is said that things never happen more than three times, and in fact, including the time he brought Li Xueqin home last time, this can be considered the third time.
Thinking that she hadn't read the message Xie Youan sent just now, Jiang Qin adjusted her mentality, returned to the sofa and picked up her phone.
At first glance, it wasn't anything special, just about inviting him to dinner tomorrow afternoon.
She really isn't too particular about eating and hasn't been to many restaurants.
When treating someone, one naturally hopes that the other person enjoys the meal. She was afraid that she had not treated him well, so she had told Xie Youan earlier to let him pick a restaurant he liked when he was free and tell her when he picked one, and she would make the reservation.
The few messages just now were Xie Youan sending her the restaurants he liked, as well as some pictures of the restaurants and dishes he was interested in, some of which he thought she would like to eat.
Jiang Qin looked at the description of the ingredients and found that they were indeed something she might like to eat.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Qin's depressed mood was obviously relieved. Feeling the change in his emotions, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly I remembered the words of her grandmother who counseled her when she was a child and she made friends carelessly and was betrayed by her fence-sitter friends.
Grandma said that a person will meet many people in his life, some right and some wrong, some right at the time but later found to be wrong, some with no destiny but some with destiny. It is very complicated, but it is also easy to separate.
"Remember, Qinqin, when you get along with someone and you become happy and better, then this person is right for you. But this rightness is not necessarily eternal. Most people will change."
“If one day you suddenly find that the situation has changed, don’t doubt yourself, don’t be sad, life is long, and those who have ended their relationship are just passers-by in your life, and you are the protagonist of your life.”
"Believe in yourself, Qinqin, you will definitely meet better friends, and you will definitely have a better life."
Looking at the chat box and thinking of Su Lejia, Jiang Qin felt that what grandma Xiao Yuxiu had said seemed to have come true.
She did meet better friends who would remember her preferences and always support her.
As for a better life, she believed that she would have it.
…
The next morning, Jiang Qin entered the president's office and found Lin Xiaoyu already sorting documents carefully.
Thinking of something, Jiang Qin called Lin Xiaoyu, "Xiao Lin, come here, you don't need to sort out the documents yet."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaoyu was a little nervous, "Did I do something wrong, Sister Qin?"
"No, you organized it very well. It's time for me to teach you something else."
Lin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and Jiang Qin smiled, "Come here and sit here."
More than half an hour later, Lin Xiaoyu said to Jiang Qin, "Okay, Sister Qin, I'll go out to my workstation and make one for you."
Jiang Qin nodded, "Well, go ahead."
Lin Xiaoyu stood up and was about to go out, but when she opened the door, she was met by Huo Sili who walked in with a sullen face.
