Reborn Sweet Wife: Quan Shao's favorite
Chapter 142 Don't Hide Me
Curling her lips awkwardly, Qiao Ruoqing said, "But didn't you say you have..."
"That person is not Wu Shan." Huo Jingyuan interrupted her.
Qiao Ruoqing clasped her hands together forcefully on her legs.
If there really is that person, not Wu Shan, who could it be?
Is it his friend?client?Or an employee in his company?
But thinking about it carefully, she didn't know many of his friends. Although she had been to Huo's a few times, apart from Cheng Han and Lin Lang, she only knew two female secretaries of the secretariat.
But the two female secretaries, one in her 30s, have two children, and the other has a boyfriend. She has seen the girl's boyfriend pick her up from get off work.
Who would that be?
She looked extremely distressed, her eyelashes were drooping, and even the center of her brows were furrowed together.
It's really cute.
Huo Jingyuan's brows and eyes were unconsciously tinged with tenderness, "Who do you want to know?"
"I don't want to know." Qiao Ruoqing muttered in a low voice, with a look of disdain on her face, "What does it have to do with me?"
Even though she said that, her hands tightened even more.
Huo Jingyuan has never been in a relationship, but he knows that there is a saying called duplicity.
Pushing the sapphire blue jewelry box forward, Huo Jingyuan's voice was slightly hoarse: "Open it, and I'll tell you who that person is."
Qiao Ruoqing suddenly raised her head and looked at Huo Jingyuan.
She wanted to know who that person was, but she didn't want to know, but she couldn't even explain the reason.
Thinking about it carefully, in the private room that day, he said that he had someone he liked, and her feelings at that time were very complicated.
Obviously it has nothing to do with me, but I don't know why, I just feel uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Huo Jingyuan still had a slight smile on his face.
She moved her gaze down and landed on the jewelry box in front of her.
Open it, and you will know... Anyway, no matter who that person is, it has nothing to do with her. She should just want to know because of her curiosity.
She gritted her teeth, took the box in her hand, and opened the box with light force with her right thumb.
Inside was indeed a necklace, very thin, and the pendant was in the shape of a key.
Inside the lid, there is a mirror inlaid.
Qiao Ruoqing's face was clearly reflected in the mirror, and only then did she realize that her lips had turned a little pale, and the lipstick that she had just reapplied before she got off work could not be seen at all now.
And her slender and long eyelashes seemed to be trembling slightly.
How could this be?
She felt incredible.
But at this time, the man's deep and slightly hoarse voice floated into his ears: "You saw her."
Qiao Ruoqing shook her hand, and the jewelry box fell onto her lap, but she didn't even bother to pick it up, she just raised her head and looked at Huo Jingyuan who was only one table away.
The man was looking at her with a pair of pitch-black eyes, staring at her blatantly.
Qiao Ruoqing bit her lip, she wanted to speak, but she couldn't seem to speak a word.
There seemed to be an animal jumping up and down in the chest cavity, unable to settle down no matter what.
Huo Jingyuan knew that if he told her, she would react like this.
Showing a shallow smile towards the girl, he repeated what he said just now: "You saw her."
Qiao Ruoqing's fingertips trembled.
So, she heard right just now?Is the person Huo Jingyuan said really her?
But why?Doesn't Huo Jingyuan hate her very much?how come……
"You..." Qiao Ruoqing put her hand on the dining table, and found that her fingertips were still trembling, so she put it on her lap again, and closed the lid by the way, without daring to look at the man in front of her, she asked in a low voice, "Why? You how come……"
"I don't know." Huo Jingyuan replied calmly, "Anyway, it's you, the person I talked about in the private room that day was you."
Qiao Ruoqing remembered that when she sent him back that night, he asked her if she heard what he said in the private room.
At that time, she thought that person was Wu Shan, so she subconsciously denied it. She was avoiding that topic.
As for the reason, even she herself couldn't explain it clearly.
The jewelry box on the leg is covered by her shadow, the color is much duller, but the shape is beautiful.
And that necklace, also beautiful.
It turns out that the person he likes is actually her?She still thought that person was Wu Shan.
What a big joke.
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong. Huo Jingyuan couldn't possibly like her. He obviously hated her so much before. Even saving her in the car accident was only because of Tang Lan's instructions.
"No..." she murmured, "No, the person you like..."
Before she could accept the sudden news, the waiter came over to serve the dishes, all of which she ordered.
The space between the two of them was not wide, and the aroma of the dishes wafted around, but Qiao Ruoqing, who was still complaining about being hungry just now, had no appetite at all.
She supported the table and stood up, "I'll go back first..."
Huo Jingyuan quickly stood up, took a big step in front of her, and grabbed her wrist, "Don't hide from me."
Qiao Ruoqing wanted to break free, but Huo Jingyuan used too much force, she couldn't struggle at all, so she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips not to look at him.
Huo Jingyuan frowned, and unconsciously increased the strength in his hand, "After you go back, do you want to hide from me like the previous few times? Even Hua Tian doesn't care?"
"No..." Qiao Ruoqing argued, her voice sounded like a little beast stuck in a rock and struggling to survive, "Brother Huo, I... I didn't hide from you..."
Huo Jingyuan didn't care, put his hands on her shoulders, and gently pressed her back on the chair, avoiding the topic, "Aren't you hungry? Eat first."
Qiao Ruoqing sat down, but she didn't move, she didn't even pick up her chopsticks.
Huo Jingyuan sighed helplessly, "Let's not talk about this, let's eat first, and I'll take you back after eating."
While talking, she served Qiao Ruoqing a bowl of soup in front of her.
She likes to drink soup.
As expected, Qiao Ruoqing drank, but her movements were a little stiff. After a meal, she ate very little and didn't even say a few words.
On the way back, Qiao Ruoqing sat in the co-driver, turning her head to look at the night scene outside the window.
Unknowingly, it has entered winter, and there are no pedestrians on the street, which seems very quiet.
I looked at my watch, it was almost ten o'clock.
It turned out to be so late...
She was still holding the royal blue jewelry box in her hand. Originally, she didn't want to accept the necklace, but Huo Jingyuan insisted on letting her hold it.
Turning his head to look, the profile of the man beside him was smooth and his lines were cold and hard.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Huo Jingyuan also looked this way.
The eyes of the two intertwined without any warning, Qiao Ruoqing looked like a child who was caught in the middle of a class, she quickly averted her eyes.
Huo Jingyuan curled his lips in satisfaction, and asked her, "Why don't you talk?"
"I..." Her voice was small and barely audible, "I don't know what to say..."
"It's okay." Huo Jingyuan answered simply.
Qiao Ruoqing bowed her head, the royal blue box in her hand was hidden in the shadows, only an outline could be seen clearly.
Pursing the corners of her lips, she finally summoned up her courage: "Brother Huo, I just want to take revenge now... something..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Jingyuan said: "I know, I didn't intend to confess my love now, and I didn't want to put pressure on you."
Qiao Ruoqing was shocked, "Then why are you telling me now?"
It's not like Huo Jingyuan's style to be inconsistent, she thought.
Huo Jingyuan smiled, with a soft tone, like a feather floating on the lake, causing shallow ripples in her heart, beautiful and unassuming: "Because you always have to doubt my relationship with other women."
After he said this, Qiao Ruoqing noticed that Huo Jingyuan seemed to have told him about Wu Shan when he was in the restaurant just now.
At that time, she was still thinking, why did this person make a special statement?This matter has nothing to do with her.
Now it seems that he has already thought about it.
But she still felt a little unacceptable.
Huo Jingyuan, a genius in the business world, the heir of the Huo family, and a young and promising entrepreneur, how could he fall in love with a fledgling girl like her?
She hasn't even settled Qiao's matter yet, Chen Yali is still making troubles, and she can't solve Qiao Ruolan's provocation.
What is there in a person like her that Huo Jingyuan likes?
Or, in fact, Huo Jingyuan was just joking with him?A man like him should be surrounded by a lot of women, right?Just like Wu Shan.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that this matter was a bit supernatural.
Fortunately, Qiao's house will be here soon.
As long as she was separated from Huo Jingyuan, she would be able to think about the matter carefully and figure it out quickly.
However, when the car stopped in front of Qiao's house and she wanted to open the door, Huo Jingyuan took the first step to lock the door.
Qiao Ruoqing immediately retracted her outstretched hand, frowned and looked at the man beside her, "Brother Huo, what are you doing?"
There was no expression on Huo Jingyuan's face, making it impossible for her to guess what he was planning now.
But in my heart, I felt inexplicably weak and uncomfortable.
Huo Jingyuan was also looking at her. Under the dim light, he could clearly see the tension in her eyes.
As if afraid he would eat her.
What's there to be afraid of?He won't do anything to her.
But in this case, Huo Jingyuan still didn't say it out.
He looked at her with something pleading in his eyes, and his voice was a little low, which was different from when he was talking about work or joking, "Don't avoid me."
Qiao Ruoqing was startled.
She thought that he locked the car door to do something strange to her, but she didn't expect that he just wanted to say this?
Without Qiao Ruoqing's answer, Huo Jingyuan's eyes darkened, "I know you just want revenge now, I can wait, but don't avoid me like you did a few times before, I'm flustered."
He looked at her, the distance between the two was very close, Qiao Ruoqing could clearly see the subtle expressions on his face.
His usually calm eyes seemed to shake slightly, as if he was afraid of something.
Qiao Ruoqing suspected that she was wrong.
That's Huo Jingyuan, what would Huo Jingyuan be afraid of?
"That person is not Wu Shan." Huo Jingyuan interrupted her.
Qiao Ruoqing clasped her hands together forcefully on her legs.
If there really is that person, not Wu Shan, who could it be?
Is it his friend?client?Or an employee in his company?
