Chapter 4 Supporting Her
Jiang Qin's heart paused and she turned off her phone. If it were in the past, she might have thought that Huo Sili was jealous.
But now, Jiang Qin no longer thought about it and told the truth, "It's normal."
Hearing this, he looked at Huo Sili outside the car window on the other side with a slight twitch of his lips and his pupils darkened. Like?
Normally we talk this close.
The car fell into silence as usual, and we arrived at Yunhai Huafu quietly all the way.
Jiang Qin had gotten used to having nothing to talk about with Huo Sili without knowing when, so she didn't think the atmosphere was strange.
When the car stopped, he unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door open, and walked straight inside.
It’s getting late. Tomorrow is Friday, so I have to get up early to go to work.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to step into the villa hall, the footsteps behind her quickened and her hand was suddenly held forcefully by a man.
The force was swift, and the palms were rough and warm, and one could clearly feel the calluses left by the man's long-term use of equipment for exercise.
Jiang Qin is a hand control freak. She had no choice because she was poor when she was young, but after she became financially independent, she paid special attention to hand care. Now her hands are white and tender because of her own care.
It was so sudden that the calluses on Huo Sili's palms rubbed her hands so hard that they hurt. She was startled again and frowned instinctively.
His tone was confused and even more annoyed, "What are you doing?"
Huo Sili didn't expect to meet Jiang Qin's reaction like this, and his voice instantly became colder.
"Xie Youan is not a good person, stay away from him."
Jiang Qin felt amused and wondered what right he had to say that.
How can he, a man who cheated on his wife, judge whether others are good people?
But before he could finish his words, a strange smell wafted out of the house. Jiang Qin frowned, turned around, and saw Aunt Liu whom he had met in the morning.
"Madam, you are finally back!"
Aunt Liu put down the tray in her hand, perhaps she noticed Jiang Qin out of the corner of her eye, turned around and spoke loudly.
As he approached, he saw Huo Sili hiding in the night. His expression changed instantly, "Second..."
Before he could finish the two-letter address, he quickly changed the subject, "Sir! Sir is back!"
Huo Sili frowned slightly, his eyes turned colder, "Who are you?"
Aunt Liu looked embarrassed and laughed dryly: "I, I am..."
She spoke hesitantly, obviously afraid. She was sent by Yuan Lianqing. The man in front of her would scold even her own mother when he was in a bad mood, let alone her, a servant.
Huo Sili was still holding Jiang Qin's hand. Jiang Qin had insomnia last night and was feeling sleepy. She could hardly open her eyelids and her head felt a little dizzy. She really didn't want to waste time here.
"The live-in aunt my mom sent," she said, prying Horsley's hands away while he was distracted, and hurried to the elevator.
As the elevator rose, Horsley looked at his empty hands that were pried open, and then glanced at the woman in front of him.
"What's that?" he asked of the contents of the tray on the dining table.
Aunt Liu was trembling with fear and didn't dare to answer. Huo Sili walked to the dining table and took a look.
There was a large bowl on the tray, filled with dark brown thick soup. The complex and strong medicinal smell filled my nose before I even got close.
Huo Sili's face suddenly darkened and he picked up the weapon and smashed it!
With a crackling sound, the soup splashed everywhere.
Liu Ma's calves were shaking. Huo Sili glanced at her, his pupils were deep and every word was icy cold.
"Yunhai Huafu has no shortage of people who can make tonics. Call her and tell her that she doesn't need to worry about Jiang Qin and me."
"If you keep doing these things, go back to your old house."
The next morning, Jiang Qin was awakened by the alarm clock. She was still a little dazed when she woke up. When she saw where she was, she immediately turned over and sat up.
Sleeping in the same bed with Horsley these days inevitably meant having sex. In the past, she didn't know that he was treating her as a substitute, and she could accept it because she still had feelings for him. But now that she knew that he was treating her as a substitute, she naturally didn't want to have sex with him anymore.
So she was so sleepy after taking a shower last night that she simply locked the bathroom door and slept on the massage bed in the bathroom.
At this moment, she was lying on the big bed in the master bedroom, covered tightly with a quilt.
Jiang Qin looked towards the built-in bathroom and clearly saw that the door lock was empty and the lock had been removed.
She vaguely recalled that she seemed to hear someone anxiously calling her name while she was half asleep and half awake last night, but she was too sleepy at the time and could not distinguish between reality and a dream. As soon as her consciousness became clearer, it fell into chaos again.
"..." Jiang Qin's mood became complicated for a moment.
But she soon put aside the idea that Horsley still had feelings for her.
Yes, even if a stranger’s life is in danger on their territory, a normal person would be a little worried.
But is this worry really just about the strangers themselves? You never know.
But when she went downstairs, Jiang Qin was really surprised——
The elevator opened and Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang stood together and greeted her.
Aunt Liu smiled at her kindly, obviously imitating Aunt Wang's smile. "Good morning, Madam! Breakfast is ready, please eat it while it's hot!"
There was no strange smell in the room, and there was a variety of breakfast on the table.
However, although she was surprised, Jiang Qin usually couldn't eat much for breakfast, so she ate a little and got in the car.
The car drove to the company. Jiang Qin had a good sleep last night and was clear-headed. In the back seat of the car, she opened her email and planned to deal with some emails while she had time. Suddenly, Huo Sili called.
Jiang Qin paused, then answered the call, "Someone from Xingwen Entertainment will come to discuss cooperation at 10:30. You go to receive them, so you don't have to attend the press conference."
The man's cold voice reached his ears, with a tone that brooked no room for argument.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, swallowing the rebuttal that was about to come out of her mouth, "Yes, Mr. Huo."
After the call ended, Jiang Qin felt that winter had arrived early and she felt cold all over.
According to the schedule, she was supposed to attend a new product launch conference with Horsley at ten o'clock this morning.
It was a brand new product, the first generation. She participated in the entire process, from market research, to planning, product development, later adjustments, and then to market launch. She accompanied Huo Sili and ran around, worked countless overtime hours, and made countless trips around the world.
Horsley must understand the significance of today's press conference to her.
Moreover, Xingwen Entertainment...
A screenshot sent by Su Lejia yesterday mentioned that Li Xueqian is an artist under Xingwen Entertainment.
Will it be about her collaboration? Jiang Qin tightened her grip on the phone.
"Sister Qin, are you okay?"
At the gate of Huo’s headquarters, Jiang Qin brought a group of people to welcome the people from Xingwen Entertainment. Noticing that Jiang Qin’s face was slightly pale, Lin Xiaoyu asked worriedly.
Jiang Qin smiled, "It's okay, maybe I didn't get enough rest last night."
Lin Xiaoyu wanted to say something when a pure white nanny car drove in and stopped not far away.
Jiang Qin's heart paused, but the smile on her face remained. "They're here, let's go over there." Then she stepped forward first.
The sweet woman in a light pink short skirt was helped out of the car. As she got out of the car, she looked down at Jiang Qin, smiled at her with her beautiful eyes, and spoke with surprise——
