Chapter 35 Extreme Pull
"Okay, I understand, grandma. I will take some time these two days to accompany Qinqin to the hospital for a thorough checkup. When I have definite news, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Okay, that's it for now, grandma. I still have things to do here."
When he hung up the phone, Horsley's voice was gentle, but the ice on his face seemed so thick that it was difficult to chisel away.
Old Mrs. Huo on the other end of the phone still didn't notice it. She was obviously still immersed in joy and exclaimed happily twice.
At the same time, Jiang Qin obviously didn't know what she was about to face. There was no garbage bin on the floor where the Huo's president's office was located. If she wanted to throw away garbage like fast food boxes, she had to go downstairs.
The elevator was in peak operation at that time, and the trash could be thrown away on the floor below. Jiang Qin had just walked up the stairs to the floor below. Immunity is easily reduced during pregnancy. The bathroom was not far from the trash can. After throwing away the trash, Jiang Qin went to the bathroom and washed her hands carefully with hand sanitizer.
When he saw the mirror, his occupational disease kicked in. He checked his appearance again, tidied himself up, and then went upstairs.
When I pushed open the door of the president's office, the room was very quiet.
Thinking of what Aunt Wang said in the morning, Jiang Qin thought that Huo Sili did not get enough rest in the guest room last night, so he had lunch early today and came back to rest. He was probably taking a nap in the room at this moment.
Even if they were not married, he was still her boss before she resigned. Even if she was unhappy, there was no need to offend him deliberately.
Realizing that Huo Sili was resting, Jiang Qin, who always kept a clear distinction between public and private matters, subconsciously lowered her movements.
When closing the door, first press down the door handle to retract the lock tongue, slowly push it into the door frame, then slowly let go, and finally when the door closes, there is almost no sound.
Jiang Qin likes quietness and has naturally good hearing. In addition, due to the frequent quarrels in her family when she was a child, she has always been very sensitive to sounds. The loud sound of doors slamming too loudly or people talking too loudly would make her uncomfortable.
But she also knew that she had to overcome this problem on her own. After all, other people in the world had no obligation to give way for anyone.
After Jiang Qin closed the door and turned around, she naturally went back to her seat to rest, but when she turned around, she suddenly found someone beside her.
She was startled and quickly glanced up, and saw Horsley appear at the door of the inner room, looking straight at her.
It would probably be quite scary for anyone to appear next to someone silently and be seen by the person so suddenly, not to mention that Jiang Qin was trying hard to close the door to reduce the noise.
When Jiang Qin turned around like this, he was really shocked and his face turned pale instantly.
But after being frightened, he was dissatisfied and puzzled, "You didn't sleep?"
Since this person wasn't sleeping just now, what was he doing just now that made the room so quiet?
Huo Sili said nothing and walked towards Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin met Huo Sili's gaze and vaguely sensed something, but was not quite sure. However, it was difficult for her to ignore the feeling of danger. She subconsciously stepped back, her heart beating faster and her brows furrowed.
"You, what are you doing?"
Since his change of heart, she still knew some of his habits.
But when she faced him in person, he became difficult for her to see clearly.
But at this moment, Jiang Qin found that she had never seen Huo Sili before - his eyes, which were always gentle when he looked at her before, and which were difficult for her to distinguish before, now looked at her dark and cold.
That look made her feel extremely cold and made her feel more confused and frightened than sad.
What's wrong with him? Or...what did the old lady say to him on the phone just now?
Jiang Qin was a little worried, but more confused. She knew how good the old lady was to her, and she didn't think the old lady would say anything against her. So, what exactly happened?
Horsley still didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. Although he didn't move closer, he was getting closer.
The unknown sometimes makes people curious and yearning, but more often, it makes people feel scared.
Her back was already against the wall, but Huo Sili was still going forward. Jiang Qin's suppressed emotions were on the verge of collapse, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
However, her gaze did not retreat, but was locked on the drawer in an instant.
While Horsley wasn't reaching out, she nimbly escaped from the side gap between him and her.
He quickly opened the drawer and took out the utility knife that he usually used to open packages.
Push the slider upwards to stab out the blade, and hold it tightly in front of you with your right hand.
Compared to her urgency, Horsley's movements were leisurely.
He turned slowly, his sharp eyes swept over the knife in her hand, his already dark eyes darkened even more, his thin lips slightly pulled up to reveal a clear sneer, his face still cold.
"Qinqin, if I really want to do something to you, do you think this thing can stop me?"
Jiang Qin ignored what Huo Sili said, but just held the utility knife tightly and stared at Huo Sili.
But if we really discuss this question, Jiang Qin's answer is yes, and it is too much -
She doesn't know much about martial arts, but her grandmother Xiao Yuxiu studied medicine when she was young, and learned both Chinese and Western medicine. She was raised by her grandmother, so she knows more medical knowledge than the average person. She is very clear about the distribution of arteries and veins in the human body.
Although the knife is small, it can still kill a person if it cuts the right place.
Besides, even rabbits will bite when they are cornered. Why does he think that she won’t hurt him first when she is cornered?
However, the next second, Jiang Qin's face froze.
"Grandma just called me and told me that I'm probably going to be a father. Qinqin, I remember I always took measures." Huo Sili said, smiling at her, but there was no smile in his eyes.
There was clearly a chilling coldness and disgust in those eyes.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips. Although she no longer loved this person, she felt confused and in great pain when she personally experienced someone who loved her so much looking at her like this.
However, the pain only lasted for a second before it was replaced by anger. After all, what was the difference between what he said and spreading rumors?
Jiang Qin's good temper was exhausted, but just before she was about to sneer, she realized that something was wrong.
No, because instead of being angry, she should feel more confused at this moment.
After all, she was "not pregnant". Not being pregnant meant she was safe. She couldn't take risks with the child. If she wanted to ensure the safety of the child, she had to insist on denying that she was pregnant.
"I'm still menstruating."
Jiang Qin's mind worked quickly, and the next second after hearing this, she almost blurted out this sentence.
Didn't fall into the trap set by Horsley.
And obviously, she won a small step. She observed that the next second after she finished speaking, Horsley's expression relaxed slightly.
As for Jiang Qin, the momentary stiffness on her face had long disappeared, replaced by a sense of absurdity.
"I told you last time, if you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."
Without giving Huo Sili time to fight back, Jiang Qin took advantage of the situation and continued.
There was no fear on that cold and beautiful face, only annoyance and absurdity.
The darkness in Huo Sili's eyes faded a little, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin tried to remain calm and glanced at Huo Sili. Suddenly, she put down the utility knife and walked towards Huo Sili with her chest and head held high.
She glanced at him, walked past him to the door, turned back, and spoke in an unusually calm tone.
"Seeing is believing. Since you don't believe it, come and check it out yourself. There is a private bathroom in lounge C408 on the fourth floor..."
"No need." Horsley interrupted her.
Jiang Qin felt relieved, but within half a second she was almost frozen stiff.
Horsley's cold tone was final, leaving no room for debate. "Go directly to the hospital, now."
"He Xu will take care of your mother's and stepfather's affairs. The business negotiations this afternoon will be cancelled."
Jiang Qin frowned, "The business negotiation this afternoon has been postponed for two weeks. Both sides finally have time."
Horsley interrupted her casting: "Why? Are you guilty? Are you afraid to go?"
