"I don't know where it is? What do you mean?"
"I don't know how to explain it. Mr. Yan just said he was coming over. I asked him if he was at the airport or had already arrived in Country D, but he refused to tell me."
After Song Xue Ning finished speaking, she looked down at the time on the watch on her wrist.
Yan Qing comforted her and said, "Don't worry, we are not far from the hotel, we will be back soon."
"Yes, don't worry." Huo Beiting spoke when he heard it was Song Xuening. "The nearest airport here is nearly an hour's drive from our hotel. We can definitely make it back."
Yan Qing and Song Xuening on the other end of the phone both felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say this.
"Then we'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone with Song Xue Ning, they took a taxi from the restaurant and rushed to the hotel.
"Fortunately, we finished all the meals."
Yan Qing sat in the taxi and turned to look at Huo Beiting.
With Yan's father here, the chance for the two of them to meet is probably...
After returning to China, meeting each other became even more difficult.
She thought Huo Beiting was also depressed because of this, so she saw him put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat.
Under Yan Qing's gaze, he took out a velvet drawstring bag, which was unclear whether it was dark blue or black, and said to her, "I originally wanted to give it to you when we walked back to the hotel tonight, but now it seems that the plan has been disrupted."
The scenery outside the car window kept receding, and the mottled lights of the street lamps flashed quickly across his face.
"What's this?"
"The ring, the ring I gave you."
Huo Beiting pulled her hand over, took out a ring from his drawstring pocket, and put it on her finger without waiting for her to say anything or refuse.
"How do you know what size ring I wear?"
With the help of the dim light coming in from the car window, Yan Qing could see clearly that it was a ruby ring with an ancient shape. The ruby base was ingeniously made to look like a rose stem, but it did not look tacky.
"I've held your hand so many times, I can't just hold it for nothing."
Seeing that she liked it, Huo Beiting kept his eyes on her hand without saying much.
Yan Qing asked tentatively, "Can I take this as the promise you, Huo Beiting, made to me?"
But before he could answer, the taxi driver had already parked the car steadily in front of the hotel.
At that time, Song Xue Ning was waiting at the hotel entrance with an anxious look on her face.
Seeing the two people get out of the car, she took three or two steps forward, pulled Yan Qing away from Huo Beiting, and started running towards the hotel.
Matters were pressing, and the documents Yan Qing needed to sign today still had a large portion left blank. Song Xuening wanted to help them, but she didn't want to lose her job because of Yan Qing'er...
It is really not worth it if the city gate is on fire and innocent people are affected!
"Yan Qing, what you just asked me is, yes."
When Song Xuening heard this, she was completely baffled. But when Yan Qing heard this, it was like a slight electric shock, and her heart seemed to skip a beat!
She turned around and saw Huo Beiting's warm smile.
It was as if, no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as she was willing to look back, he would always stand behind her.
The good times didn't last long, because Song Xue Ning was walking too fast and Yan Qing was only looking back at Huo Beiting. After taking a few steps, she fell in the hotel lobby in a slightly awkward posture.
It was a blessing in disguise. When Yan's father hurried to the hotel in Country D to check on him, Yan Qing was lying on the bed with a red and swollen ankle, looking very embarrassed.
"Why are you so careless?"
When Yan's father looked at his daughter's feet, he felt very distressed.
Yan Qing waved her hand and comforted him: "It doesn't hurt. I was just busy reading documents while walking and fell down."
"Wasn't Assistant Song there at the time?"
Father Yan hung his face and reached out to touch her swollen ankle. When he heard her painful inhalation, he couldn't help but blame Song Xuening.
At the same time, Song Xue Ning, who took half the blame, stood in the corner with her head hung, not daring to breathe.
The reason why she said she carried half of it was because Yan Qing fell down, and a big part of the reason was that she was too anxious and dragged her back to the room without saying anything.
"Dad, Assistant Song was sorting documents in her room at the time." Yan Qing coughed twice and spoke in Song Xuening's favor. "How much do you pay her? She has so much handover work to do here. She's just a little girl, not my nanny..."
She always remembered the good things about Song Xue Ning. This time, she was able to get so many opportunities to meet Huo Beiting thanks to her for covering for her.
Father Yan knew that Yan Qing was trying to excuse her, so he didn't say anything else. He just sent Song Xue Ning away and went to get an ice pack.
"Qingqing, I came here this time because I want to tell you something."
His serious expression made Yan Qing feel that something was wrong.
Since she wasn't here specifically to check on her, the fact that Yan's father had come all the way to Country D to tell her couldn't be a small matter...
"Is there a problem with the company's cooperation? Or is there something wrong with our cooperation with this company?"
Yan Qing heard the sound of the door closing and knew that Song Xue Ning had gone out, so he frowned and asked.
Although she has always gone against Yan's father's wishes because of Huo Beiting's affairs, the company is Yan's father's hard work, and she will not joke about such things.
Father Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not the company's business."
"Dad, stop breathing so hard, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Yan Qing didn't care about lying on the bed anymore, and she propped herself up and sat up. Yan's father quickly supported her twice, looking a little confused, not knowing how to start the conversation.
"Qingqing, I told you not to get excited, okay?"
"You tell me..."
Father Yan sat down beside the bed, holding Yan Qing's hand. "That person named Huo Beiting is the one the Huo family originally wanted to marry you to."
"What?"
Yan Qing couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong, or that his father had said it wrong.
"The man you have been supporting is your original marriage partner."
As he spoke, the words "He has been lying to you and to us" were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
Firstly, Yan's father had broken them up many times, and he knew very well about the relationship between Yan Qing and Huo Beiting, which had long gone beyond the relationship between a sugar daddy and a gigolo.
Secondly, isn't it what both the Huo and Yan families want for their younger generations to get married and strengthen the relationship? Although Huo Beiting's deceptive behavior is not worth promoting, it can be considered as cultivating feelings before marriage.
Yan Qing didn't say anything. The three words "he lied to me" were circling in his mind. He stood there in silence.
Father Yan didn't hear her voice for a while, and when he looked up, he met the red and swollen eyes of his precious daughter.
A tear as big as a bean rolled down.
