Chapter 4 Supporting Her
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she turned off her phone. If it were before, she might have thought that Huo Sili was jealous.
But now, Jiang Qin stopped thinking about it and told the truth, "It's so-so."
Upon hearing this, Huo Sili, who was looking out the other car window, slightly curled the corner of his mouth, his pupils dark and deep.
We were just talking so close together.
The car fell silent as usual, and we arrived at Yunhai Huafu in quietness.
Jiang Qin had gotten used to having nothing to say to Huo Sili when they were together, so she didn't find the atmosphere strange at all.
After the car came to a stop, I unbuckled my seatbelt, pushed open the door, and walked straight inside.
It's getting late. Tomorrow is Friday, so I have to get up early for work as usual.
Just as she was about to step into the villa's hall, the footsteps behind her quickened, and her hand was suddenly gripped tightly by a man.
The force was swift and powerful, the palm was rough and warm, and you could clearly feel the calluses left by the man's long-term use of equipment for exercise.
Jiang Qin is a hand fetishist. She was poor when she was young, so she had no choice, but after becoming financially independent, she paid special attention to hand care. Now, she has taken good care of her hands, making them fair and tender.
The sudden movement caused her hand to ache from the calluses on Huo Sili's palm, and she was startled. Jiang Qin instinctively frowned.
His tone was one of confusion and annoyance: "What are you doing?"
Huo Sili hadn't expected Jiang Qin to react this way, and his voice instantly grew even colder.
"Xie Youan is not a good person, you should stay away from him."
Jiang Qin found it amusing and wondered what gave him the right to say that.
How can a man who cheated on his wife judge whether others are good people?
Before she could finish speaking, a strange smell wafted out of the room. Jiang Qin frowned, turned her head, and saw Liu Ma, whom she had seen that morning.
"Madam, you're finally back!"
Aunt Liu put down the tray in her hand, and perhaps noticing Jiang Qin out of the corner of her eye, she turned her head and called out loudly.
As they approached, they could barely make out Huo Sili, who was hidden in the night. Their expressions changed instantly. "Two..."
Before he could finish the address that started with the word "two," he quickly corrected himself, "Sir! Sir is back!"
Huo Sili frowned slightly, his eyes turning colder. "Who are you?"
Aunt Liu looked embarrassed and forced a laugh: "I, I am..."
She spoke haltingly, clearly afraid. She was sent by Yuan Lianqing. This man in front of her would even scold her own mother when he was in a bad mood, let alone a servant like her.
Huo Sili was still holding Jiang Qin's hand. Having suffered from insomnia last night, Jiang Qin was feeling sleepy. Her eyelids were drooping and her head was spinning. She really didn't want to waste any more time here.
“A live-in nanny sent by Mom,” she said, taking advantage of Horstley’s distraction to pry his hands off and quickly heading towards the elevator.
As the elevator ascended, Huo Sili glanced at his empty hands that had been pried open, then looked at the woman in front of him.
"What's that?" he asked about the things on the tray on the table.
Aunt Liu hesitated to answer, trembling. Huo Sili walked to the dining table and glanced at her.
On the tray was a large bowl filled with a dark brown broth, the complex and strong medicinal aroma filling the nostrils even before one got close.
Huo Sili's face darkened, and he picked it up and smashed it!
With a crackling sound, the soup splashed everywhere.
Liu Ma's calves trembled. Huo Sili glanced at her, his dark eyes deep and his words icy cold.
“Yunhai Huafu has no shortage of people who know how to stew tonics. Call her and tell her that she doesn’t need to worry about my affairs with Jiang Qin.”
"If you do this again, go back to the old house."
The next morning, Jiang Qin was awakened by her alarm clock. She was still a little dazed when she woke up, but once she realized where she was, she immediately sat up.
These days, sharing a bed with Huo Sili inevitably leads to intimacy. Before, she didn't know he was using her as a substitute and still had feelings for him, which allowed her to accept it. But now that she knows he's using her as a substitute, she naturally doesn't want to have a real marriage with him anymore.
So last night, she was too tired after taking a shower, so she simply locked the bathroom door and slept on the bathroom massage bed.
At this moment, she was on the master bedroom bed, completely covered by a blanket.
Jiang Qin looked towards the en-suite bathroom and clearly saw that the door lock area was empty; the lock had been removed.
She vaguely recalled hearing someone anxiously calling her name in a half-dreaming, half-awake state last night, but she was too sleepy to distinguish between reality and dream, and her consciousness would just clear up a little before falling back into confusion.
"..." Jiang Qin's thoughts were complicated for a moment.
However, she quickly dismissed the idea that Horst still had feelings for her.
Yes, even if a stranger were to have a life-threatening accident on their own turf, a normal person would still be a little worried.
But is this worry really just about the strangers themselves? That's hard to say.
However, when Jiang Qin went downstairs, she was genuinely surprised—
The elevator doors opened, and Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang stood together and greeted her.
Liu Ma smiled kindly at her, clearly imitating Wang Ma, "Good morning, Madam! Breakfast is ready, please eat it while it's hot!"
There was no strange smell in the room, and a variety of breakfast items were laid out on the table.
Surprised as she was, Jiang Qin usually didn't eat much for breakfast. After a simple meal, she got into the car.
As the car drove towards the company, Jiang Qin, who had slept well the night before, was wide awake. In the back seat, she opened her email, intending to deal with some emails while she had some free time, when Huo Sili's call suddenly came in.
Jiang Qin paused, then answered the call. "People from Xingwen Entertainment are coming to discuss cooperation at 10:30. You need to greet them; you don't need to attend the press conference."
The man's cold voice reached my ears, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, swallowing back the words of rebuttal that were on the tip of her tongue. "Yes, President Huo."
After the call ended, Jiang Qin felt a chill run through her body, as if winter had arrived early.
This morning at 10 a.m., according to the schedule, she was supposed to attend a new product launch event with Horstley.
It was a brand new product, the first generation. From market research to planning, product development, later adjustments, and finally to market launch, she was involved in the whole process, accompanying Huo Sili around the clock, working countless overtime hours, and traveling countless business trips around the world.
Horstley surely understands the significance of today's press conference for her.
Moreover, Xingwen Entertainment...
Yesterday, Su Lejia sent a screenshot that mentioned that Li Xueqian is an artist under Xingwen Entertainment.
Could it be related to her collaboration? Jiang Qin tightened her grip on her phone.
"Sister Qin, are you alright?"
At the main entrance of Huo's headquarters, Jiang Qin led a group of people to greet the people from Xingwen Entertainment. Noticing that Jiang Qin's face was slightly pale, Lin Xiaoyu asked her with concern.
Jiang Qin smiled and said, "It's nothing, I probably just didn't get enough rest last night."
Lin Xiaoyu was about to say something when a pure white van drove in and stopped a short distance away.
Jiang Qin paused for a moment, but her smile remained unchanged. "They've arrived. Let's go over there." With that, she took the lead and stepped forward.
A woman dressed sweetly in a light pink miniskirt was helped out of the car. As she stepped out, she looked down at Jiang Qin, her clear eyes smiling at her, her voice filled with surprise—
