Chapter 13: Hand on her abdomen
Jiang Qin thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Well, they were going to get divorced anyway. Besides, it was an indisputable fact that he had a white moonlight hidden in his heart for six years, and he didn't want her to have children with him.
If that's the case, why should she think about all those unnecessary things?
After sorting out her thoughts, Jiang Qin felt sleepy and fell into a dream. When she opened her eyes again, a faint light came through the gap in the curtains and the alarm of her mobile phone on the bedside table was ringing.
The light instrumental music was exceptionally clear in the silent room. She was still a little dazed, and reached out to turn off the phone with half-opened eyes. Suddenly, a big hand took the lead and grabbed her mobile phone from the bedside table.
When their arms touched, the man's body temperature was obviously higher than hers. Jiang Qin was slightly startled, her eyes suddenly widened, and she became sober.
In her sight, Horsley's hand swiped away her alarm clock, and then his arm gently fell back and his palm rested on her abdomen.
Jiang Qin paused, and suddenly recalled the time when they were in love last August. Because she casually sighed that when she was a child, her grandmother would make ice cream when the weather was hot, he bought molds and taught himself to make all kinds of beautiful and delicious ice cream for her.
Later, she was so busy giving him feedback that she forgot that her period was about to come, and as a result, she suffered from severe menstrual cramps that month.
At that time, he blamed himself and repented deeply. When he slept at night, he would hold her in his arms like he was doing now, with his warm hands on her abdomen.
"..."So now, is it a habit or is it intentional?
Jiang Qin lowered her eyes to glance at Huo Sili's hand, paused for two seconds, sat up on her elbows, took his hand away, and got out of bed.
That’s right, how could I forget it after a good night’s sleep? There’s no point in thinking about it.
Jiang Qin went straight to the bathroom. Behind her, Huo Sili opened his eyes with a clear look.
Looking at Jiang Qin's back, he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were deep and calm. After a few seconds, Huo Sili looked away, glanced at his empty hands, and turned over and sat up.
"Good morning, sir and madam."
At the breakfast table, when the two came over, Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu were setting the table. The meal was even more sumptuous than yesterday morning.
Jiang Qin replied, "Good morning," and sat down, picking up her spoon to drink her porridge. Huo Sili sat opposite Jiang Qin, but did not move.
Aunt Wang brought a tray and placed the last few dishes of steaming breakfast. She bowed slightly and asked the two to enjoy slowly. Huo Sili stopped them and said, "Bring the thermos box and pack a portion for Miss Li. When she wakes up, remind her to eat breakfast and change her medicine."
Mother Wang had a complicated look on her face. She glanced at Jiang Qin, who lowered her head to drink her porridge, not seeming to be affected at all.
Just at this moment, Aunt Liu came over with washed fruits and laughed, "Hey! Sir, leave this matter to me. I'll remember it and remind Miss Li when she wakes up!"
Horsley glanced over and said nothing. He glanced at the pears in the fruit bowl and frowned imperceptibly. "Take the fruit away."
The man's voice was cold. Auntie Liu had already seen this man's bad temper, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just said "oh" and left.
There were two social events today. The big client for the morning and afternoon events was a business tycoon who valued family development.
An elderly wealthy overseas Chinese with a happy family. He is over 70 years old and of the same generation as Mrs. Huo.
However, to Jiang Qin's surprise, the other party was not arrogant, was very respectable, and spoke very pleasantly. As a result, the communication about cooperation went very smoothly and the deal was reached soon.
After signing, the rich man was visibly happy, and confessed that he came back to China just to discuss this cooperation with Huo Sili in person to show his family's sincerity in cooperating with the Huo family.
Afterwards, the other party kindly invited them to visit its newly developed resort, have lunch, and take photos.
This was also included in their itinerary plan, so Horsley naturally agreed.
The weather in the resort was excellent, and the sun was so bright that it was even a little scorching.
After walking along the beach, the heat rose to the soles of her feet. Jiang Qin felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen. Thinking of what Su Lejia said last night, she looked back and saw that there was still a long way to go before the parasol. She took two steps forward and got closer to Huo Sili.
"Mr. Huo, I'm going to the bathroom." He whispered to Huo Sili.
Huo Sili was chatting about economic trends with the old rich man Mr. Wang. He nodded slightly when he heard this.
Jiang Qin turned around and walked back to the bathroom inside the building. When she checked, her face turned pale.
My hands were shaking as I reached into my bag for my phone. I opened the browser and searched for bleeding in early pregnancy.
Upon checking, his face instantly turned paler.
She has always been very clear about her menstrual blood flow. Today is the second day, and the amount should not be this amount, and the color should not be this.
Her current condition is almost exactly the same as the symptoms of early pregnancy bleeding.
Jiang Qin's mind and heart were instantly in a mess.
She was a little bit hesitant to believe it, so she opened an APP, searched for posts, and found that there were many situations similar to hers.
After getting ready, Jiang Qin slowed down her pace towards the beach, stopping from time to time.
Suddenly, she thought of something and took advantage of the shade provided by a tree to take out her cosmetics and a portable mirror from her bag and touch up her makeup to improve her complexion.
She was confused. She had doubts before, but now both the experience of netizens and her own intuition had confirmed the conclusion.
There is a high probability that she is pregnant with her and Horsley's child in her body right now.
But, just yesterday afternoon.
Horsley said that.
"Jiang Qin!?"
I took another step forward and just as I was about to lose control of my daze, a male voice interrupted me.
Jiang Qin turned around and saw a face that was not unfamiliar to her.
"Xie Youan?"
At the same time, Huo Sili, who was chatting with overseas Chinese tycoon Wang under the parasol in front, heard the voice and turned to look in the direction of Jiang Qin.
Director Wang also looked over when he saw this, and a kind smile appeared on his kind face, "Secretary Jiang, you must have met someone you know."
Huo Sili did not respond. His eyes were dark and rich as he glanced at Xie Youan who was walking quickly towards the woman.
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
In front of Jiang Qin, Xie Youan, dressed casually in a white T-shirt and black pants, came over and greeted her with a gentle smile.
Jiang Qin was indeed a little surprised by this, "Well, what a coincidence, you..."
"Come here to play?" She was not very good at chatting, especially at the moment when her mind was particularly confused. She quickly glanced at Xie Youan's outfit, and knowing that this was a resort, she hesitated for a moment before connecting the call.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qin began to feel embarrassed. What kind of stupid question did she ask?
Xie Youan, who was being questioned, didn't think anything was wrong. He smiled at her gently.
"Well, we are organizing a team building for the company's employees. Do you want to come and join us?"
Jiang Qin said hurriedly, "Oh, no, I'm here to work."
After she finished speaking, she realized that the trip to the bathroom had taken long enough, so she quickly continued.
"Let's meet again when we have time. I have to go get busy now."
Xie Youan wanted to say something, but changed his words considerately after hearing what he said, "Okay, you're busy, see you next Wednesday."
Jiang Qin's mind was still in a mess. She nodded politely and left quickly.
After walking a few steps, I started to wonder what next Wednesday meant?
It was not until he was about to walk to Huo Sili that he suddenly realized that Xie Youan said that because she took the initiative to invite him to dinner yesterday, and later he said he was free next Wednesday.
By the way, she hasn’t opened the gift Xie Youan gave her yet, and she doesn’t know the exact date of the exhibition ticket.
And now this situation...
Jiang Qin couldn't help but lower her eyes to look at her abdomen, her pink lips pursed.
What should she do next?
Abort it secretly, or keep it?
…
"You and him have a connection."
It was almost time for dinner, and the group got in the car to go to the restaurant that Director Wang had booked in advance. Jiang Qin was fastening her seat belt, and Huo Sili closed the car door and said to Jiang Qin.
The high-end business car had a partition separating the front and rear compartments. However, Jiang Qin was in a professional suit and had official business to attend to, plus she had something important on her mind, so she was in no mood to pay attention to Huo Sili's words, which sounded more like jealousy than sarcasm.
"It was just a bump." Jiang Qin said lightly as she fastened her seat belt.
As she spoke, she sorted out the contracts she had signed in the morning, opened the safe she brought with her, and put the contracts inside.
Huo Sili watched Jiang Qin's actions and didn't say anything for a while. His eyes became increasingly darker as he looked at her, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds before a thunderstorm.
Jiang Qin closed the safe, bent over and put the box in front of her. Just as she was about to stand up and sit up straight, she suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression on her side.
