Looking at her, it was like going back to the past, and Huo Dongheng was in a trance.
"I...I recognize you...you are Huo Dongheng..." Just when Huo Dongheng was in a daze, Qiu Bailu suddenly raised her head. She pushed him away unhappily, "I don't want to be with you, you go."
"You don't want to be with me, do you want to be with Luo Yan? Do you know who he is?" Huo Dongheng's heart, which had just warmed up, cooled down again after hearing Qiu Bailu's words, "Do you like him? Do you love him?"
he?"
Qiu Bailu shook her head like a drum, "I don't like him, I don't like him at all."
She had liked him before, but after Luo Yan treated her like this, it was difficult for her to like him again.
"Then, do you like me?" Huo Dongheng asked in a strange way, not knowing what kind of mood he was holding.
Qiu Bailu looked at him for a while, then suddenly said, "I like you..."
* "Eh? Mr. Luo? What brought you here?" Zou Jingping, one of the persons in charge of the reception, saw Luo Yan standing alone not far from the stage, with a pair of crow-feathered brows.
They were locked together, not knowing what they were thinking deeply about.
She came forward familiarly with a champagne glass and said hello.
Luo Yan is low-key by nature and doesn't like to appear in newspapers and magazines. Although he is not a popular figure in Binhai, anyone who is in Binhai's business community and has some vision will not give up making friends with him. Nowadays, as long as he is a good person in any industry,
Is there a larger business that does not require sea transportation? Luo Yan controls the largest ports in Binhai. He is very capable and has an extensive network of contacts. However, he is difficult to invite, and ordinary banquets are difficult to invite.
I won't attend, so even if I really want to make friends with him, it depends on his mood.
Zou Jingping originally just sent the invitation letter to Luo Yan with the attitude of giving it a try, but she didn't expect to actually invite the Buddha. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but ask herself, how on earth did her small business catch the attention of Mr. Luo?
"I haven't been out for a long time, and some of my faces are raw. Hello, Miss Zou, has your company been doing well recently?"
Luo Yan replied calmly, his eyes still falling on the other side of the stage. He heard what Qiu Bailu said, she said she liked that man.
Even now, she still says that, and even now, she still dares to say that!
For a moment, Zou Jingping felt the terrifying coldness emanating from Luo Yan. But when she braved Luo Yan and looked at him carefully, she found that he was as calm as the sea in the middle of the night. Zou Jingping felt that she must have just been
Dizzy.
Young Master Luo, although indifferent, has always had a good reputation. How could such a man with the feelings of a medieval gentleman show such a ferocious look? No, absolutely not, she must have seen it wrong.
"Thanks to you, the business is not bad. However, there is a batch of goods that I want to ship from Athens recently, but as you know, their employees there are always busy with work, and the shipping date is always uncertain, which makes us very worried.
passive."
Zou Jingping's original intention was to have a close relationship with Luo Yan. If he showed his kindness and allowed her goods to board the Luo family's ship, then she would no longer have to worry about keeping track of the shipping date.
But Luo Yan's thoughts didn't seem to be on this.
No matter how Zou Jingping complained about the difficulty of running his company, his expression did not change. His gaze fell behind the stage, with those bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through the stage.
"Young Master Luo...are you listening?" Zou Jingping said that her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry, but Luo Yan made no movement. Zou Jingping couldn't bear it anymore and had to ask.
Luo Yan paused and looked back, "If I remember correctly, Miss Zou has a cousin who works at Qiu's?"
"Ah...yes, she is the head of the administration department. Does Mr. Luo know her?"
"No, but I have something to trouble you with... Miss Zou, if it's convenient, can we sit over there?"
Luo Yan smiled slightly, his smile was calm and tranquil, but for some reason, Zou Jingping shuddered in her heart when she saw his smiling face.
* "Yes, I like you." Qiu Bailu said this. Huo Dongheng's heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand. His breathing quickened, his mouth and tongue became dry, and he asked with a trembling voice, "You said you
like me?"
Qiu Bailu looked up at him, and suddenly laughed out loud after a while, "Yes, but that was a long, long time ago."
"Why do you have that expression? Don't tell me that you are still expecting that I still have a deep love for you? Mr. Huo, wake up, which one of us is drunk?"
As she spoke, she stood up staggeringly. When she jumped off the chair, her feet were weak and she almost fell.
Huo Dongheng wanted to help her, but she shook off his hand, "I thank you for your kindness... but I don't need it..." She stretched out a finger and poked Huo Dongheng's chest, "Remember it clearly, Huo Dongheng
Sir, now, you are you and I am me, and the two of us will never have any intersection again..."
Her attitude was so resolute that even when her face turned red from drinking and she couldn't walk straight, she never forgot about it.
"Goodbye, Mr. Huo." She waved her hand and took a few steps forward on the chair.
Huo Dongheng stood behind her, "Are you still willing to meet me again?"
"Well, I don't want to, but I can't change you and your ghost is always there, right?" Qiu Bailu waved her hand indifferently, "Since I can't change you, I can only change myself... you know how annoying I am.
this way……"
She could speak clearly at first, but later on, the power of alcohol became stronger and gradually took control of her whole body. Qiu Bailu spoke indistinctly, and finally stumbled and fell towards the ground.
.
Huo Dongheng took two steps forward to catch her, and picked her up before she came into close contact with the ground. "You can't talk back. When did you develop such a bad temper?"
He sighed like a whisper, then hugged her and headed for the exit.
He walked in a hurry and didn't realize that there were two eyes behind him that had been following them. Looking from behind him, they looked like two close lovers. Qiu Bailu was nestled on his shoulder, and her long hair was pulled away from him.
All in one.
*Huo Dongheng drove Qiu Bailu back to the Qiu family’s old house. Qiu Bailu had told the servants at the old house not to let Huo Dongheng in again, but now he was holding her, and Qiu Bailu fell asleep in his arms.
The servants had no reason to drive Huo Dongheng out anymore.
Putting her sleeping heavily on the bed, Huo Dongheng poured a basin of hot water with his own hands and wiped Qiu Bailu's face carefully.
He had never done this kind of thing before. Every time he came back from socializing, she would change his clothes, clean him up, and let him sleep comfortably.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to take care of someone.
It turns out that even if you look at a person's face and communicate without any words, there will be a faint warmth in your heart.
This warmth is not like a raging ocean tide, but a gurgling stream, small but lasting.
When did he start to notice her? He originally just wanted to use her as a stepping stone, but he didn't expect that even if it is a stone, after being used for a long time and being stepped on smoothly, people will be reluctant to throw it away.
She used to be such an existence.
Huo Dongheng was eager to climb up the ladder. Although he became the son-in-law of the Qiu family, he did not slack off because of this. Instead, he worked harder. He knew that people would be crushed under his tongue. If he only relied on his identity as Qiu Bailu's husband, he would not be able to do anything.
His goal is not only to subdue Qiu Bailu, but also to gain real power and control over the Qiu family.
It was their wedding day, but he would work late every day.
Even if Qiu Bailu had nothing to do, he would still find something to accompany her. He actually didn't like her being around, and always felt like he was being watched, but Qiu Bailu always responded to his deliberate pickiness.
She smiled honestly, and no matter what he said, she still insisted on staying by his side.
Until later, he got used to having her around. If she went to bed early one day, he would feel uncomfortable.
She is really a very quiet person. She is very quiet when drawing pictures, reading books, or playing on the computer. It seems that she will be ignored if she is not careful. Her mood and anger are not very obvious, unless she is pressed by someone.
It will show its pointed teeth, but most of the time it's just to scare people and won't really hurt them.
she……
When his palm almost touched Qiu Bai's cheek, Huo Dongheng seemed to suddenly realize something and pulled his hand back.
When did she occupy such a large place in his heart, so quietly, like a tide, infiltrating his heart that should only belong to loneliness? His initial idea was just to use her, and then through her
Get Qiushi, get everything that originally belonged to her.
But this idea began to change little by little under the temper of time.
From the beginning, after using her, they had to drive her out of the Qiu family. From then on, the Qiu family changed hands and no one knew who Qiu Bailu was. Later, if she could be in peace, she would be kept. Anyway,
With his strength, he doesn't care about raising one more person. In the end, if she doesn't care about him anymore, then he doesn't care about taking good care of her...
But he forgot that when he was changing, she was changing too.
She grew up at an astonishing speed, and he was indispensable.
"Xiao Lu..." He called her name like a sigh. Huo Dongheng put Qiu Bailu's arm under the quilt, covered it up, stood up and exited the room.
The moment the door panel closed, the person with closed eyes on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Qiu Bailu stared at the direction Huo Dongheng left. There was darkness, no light, no hope, and it was as despairing as an abyss.
For a moment, she wanted to scream loudly, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.
