Secretary Jiang throws out the divorce papers, and President Huo loses control with red eyes.

Chapter 143 Horstley, you...pervert!

Night fell, just as the rush hour was starting.

Despite it being Sunday, Kyoto has many companies, and there are plenty of positions and employees that require "rolling up" (i.e., working long hours).

Despite having avoided the congested road, the black Cullinan was still surrounded on the road after driving for a while and had to stop moving forward.

In the front seat, He Xu and a bodyguard in the passenger seat exchanged a glance, both feeling an unprecedented, invisible pressure.

In the back seat, Huo Sili and Jiang Qin remained silent.

The two people's seats were right next to each other, but they looked like they were miles apart.

As night fell and the roads remained impassable, the navigation system indicated a traffic accident ahead.

Hunger makes people irritable, and with the constant blaring of horns around her, Jiang Qin felt as if the sounds were providing accompaniment to her pounding heartbeat.

Is he going to ask? How will he ask? Will she be able to answer?

Will she be able to save her baby this time, just like she has in the past?

She has already had one prenatal checkup for the baby, and the baby is very healthy and a very capable baby.

She doesn't want to lose him.

Jiang Qin pursed her lips, her heart racing with the silence. She turned her back to Huo Sili, trying to minimize her presence so that he wouldn't notice her or see her.

But reality was clearly not what she had hoped for.

"We're stuck in traffic. How about we talk first?"

Jiang Qin's pink lips were a little pale. She opened her mouth, then closed it again. "I'm a little sleepy and hungry. Can we talk after we eat?"

Jiang Qin's words weren't just a delay; she was genuinely a little hungry at the moment.

She gets hungry very easily after becoming pregnant, especially recently, which is more pronounced than before.

My stomach is a little empty; my body needs rest anyway.

What if she gets stimulated again in this situation and faints like before?

Falling into a coma is frightening in any normal situation, let alone when she was pregnant.

Jiang Qin therefore did not want to experience it again, so right now, she was really afraid to talk about that topic.

But what she said was interpreted differently by Horstley.

"You're sleepy because you stayed up late last night, and you're hungry because you didn't eat enough for lunch today?"

"But when I asked you at noon today, didn't you say you had already eaten?"

Jiang Qin looked slightly taken aback, and Huo Sili, who was sitting next to her, turned around and stared at her profile.

My gaze shifted from looking at her face to looking at her eyes.

His long, slender, and well-defined hand gently rested on her chin. With a slight pressure, he made her turn her head to look at him.

Huo Sili's dark, deep eyes met Jiang Qin's dark, moist eyes.

He gently stroked her lips with the rough pad of his thumb.

"Open your mouth and answer. If you don't, I'll assume you're guilty."

"You ate a full lunch before, so you weren't particularly hungry at this time. It's because you're pregnant that you get hungry quickly, right?"

Jiang Qin really wanted to open her mouth and bite him.

But right now, I have the desire, but I simply don't have the courage.

The feeling of knowing you're lying, knowing the other person has likely seen through your lie, yet still continuing to lie is very strange.

But since it concerned the child's life, Jiang Qin naturally had a strong sense of conviction.

She was both unreasonable and assertive: "What does it have to do with me being full then and being hungry now? Besides, when did I say I was extremely hungry? I was just a little hungry. And besides, I have a strong digestive system, is that so wrong?"

"And I ate very little meat at lunch today."

Huo Sili's thin lips curved slightly, and he suddenly leaned closer.

The familiar handsome face suddenly loomed large, and Jiang Qin's pupils trembled slightly. She instinctively tried to back away, but Huo Sili grabbed the back of her head with his large hand.

"Qinqin, be good and just tell me if you're pregnant?"

"Or tomorrow morning? Do you want me to watch you take the test with the strip the whole time?"

Watch her take the test the whole time?

As we all know, pregnancy test strips detect pregnancy by testing urine, and first-morning urine is the most accurate.

Jiang Qin suppressed her nervousness, her face still flushed, "Huo Sili, you, you!"

Horst raised an eyebrow, showing no embarrassment whatsoever: "Hmm?"

Jiang Qin gritted her teeth: "You...pervert!"

Horst's eyes darkened, his expression brooking no argument, a unilateral decision—

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, I'll watch you take the pregnancy test the whole time."
