Walking to the door of the ward, Qin Mucai paused and then opened the door.
At this time, Xia Tong had just woken up and struggled to sit up. He put the pillow away for her.
"Thank you..." Xia Tong said.
After doing all this, Qin Muzhen stood beside her bed, staring at her without saying a word. Under his too harsh scrutiny, Xia Tong couldn't help but look elsewhere.
"Don't you have anything to explain to me?" he said.
"……."
Seeing that she remained silent, he pinched her shoulders angrily: "What happened to you and Qin Muxun at night?"
Xia Tong looked at him, a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but she just didn't dare to say it. She wasn't sure what kind of storm would be caused in the Qin family when she told the truth.
After a while, she didn't answer and asked instead: "Where is Qin Muxuan... now?"
"Don't change the subject!" There was a faint light flashing in his dark blue eyes, clear, penetrating, slightly stunned, and fell harshly on her, forcing her to lower her head.
"Qin Mujie, there is something-" She paused: "I can't say it yet."
He sneered and murmured as if he was mocking himself: "I can't say..." and then quietly released the hand holding her shoulder.
Xia Tong had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him grabbing a porcelain cup on the bedside table and smashing it on the ground. Hearing an earth-shattering sound, Xia Tong raised his head in shock and faced him.
With cold eyes.
"You..." She opened her mouth.
"Xia Tong, the last time you found Gu Haoran without telling me, you didn't want to tell me; today you were pushed by Qin Muxun in the bar and almost had a miscarriage, but you still don't want to tell me..." He looked at him sarcastically.
She: "What on earth do you think I am...?"
"……."
"Or am I, Qin Mujie, really such a failure? That you don't even bother to give me the slightest bit of trust..."
Xia Tong panicked, sat up from the bed, and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Mu Jue, that's not what I meant..." Because he was so panicked, he even forgot about the IV drip hanging on the back of his hand, and the needle was forced out.
Pull, blood drips from the swollen flesh.
Xia Tong groaned in pain.
Qin Muzhen also saw it, and his eyebrows twisted slightly. He sat beside her bed, stiffly took her hand over, lowered his head and sucked her wound with his mouth.
The faint fishy smell spread slowly.
Xia Tong looked at his handsome face so close, and suddenly felt an impulse. She stretched out her arms, put her arms around his neck, pressed herself against him, and hugged him tightly.
Qin Mu hesitated. This was the first time she hugged him so actively...
"I'm sorry..." Xia Tong closed her eyes and buried her face in his neck: "I didn't mean to hide it from you... But this time, please forgive me... I promise that in the future, when the time is right,
Yes, I will definitely tell you everything and will never hide anything."
His hand hugged her back stiffly: "I'm sorry just now..."
He hesitated and said, "I don't really want to get angry with you. I just hate that you don't know how to cherish yourself. You always get yourself into trouble and get hurt over and over again..."
"……."
"Do you know that you make me, as a husband, feel very frustrated when you act like this? Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Xia Tong felt a little choked up in his throat and wanted to cry.
She gasped and tried to hold it back, but she still couldn't control the liquid overflowing from her eyes and falling uncontrollably...
She didn't know why she was crying, but she suddenly felt very touched. When she thought that there was such a person in this world, who was thinking about and worrying about herself all the time, she was so moved that she wanted to cry.
Sensing the wetness on his shoulders, he pushed her away and laughed: "Why are you crying again? Didn't I scold you?"
"No." Xia Tong pouted: "You scolded me so fiercely just now..."
"..." He still had a straight face, trying to coax her, but he was so clumsy that he didn't know what to say.
Sensing his embarrassment, Xia Tong said softly: "Reach out your hand..."
He followed the instructions and spread his right palm in front of her. Xia Tong slapped it hard and laughed through tears: "Okay, it's even!"
****** ******
Xia Tong rested in the hospital for several more days, and was finally discharged from the hospital after the doctors warned her to be careful and not to cause trouble again.
And Qin Muxuan also completely disappeared from the bar that night. No one knows where she went?
Qin Muxuan seemed to be very calm about his brother's disappearance. He went to work as usual, watched TV with her, had meals... From time to time, the family of three went out shopping, but never mentioned it to Qin Muxuan.
Even Xia Guaiguai, who rarely goes home on weekends, always asks strangely: "Where has my handsome brother gone? Guaiguai hasn't seen him for many days..."
Xia Tong seemed a little embarrassed every time he was asked.
One night, Xia Tong finally couldn't help it and asked Qin Muchang.
He hugged her with an expression of emotionless indifference on his face: "Who knows where he went? The people he sent couldn't find her after searching all over... He used to like to play this kind of disappearing game... Don't worry..."
"
When Xia Tong wanted to ask again, she saw a hint of impatience on his face, so she could only suppress her curiosity.
After ascending to the 21st floor, Qin Muzhen read the plan for launching the 'Luxury Pocket Watch Series' and said, "The planning department did a good job this time, and every aspect was considered very thoughtfully."
Nie Sheng said: "Minister Zhou has put in a lot of effort to do this this time. I hope that through this time, Di Sheng can successfully enter the luxury market."
Qin Mucai smiled: "Sure enough, this is the first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office. If he does a good job this time, I will let him be promoted...but..." He frowned slightly again: "There are still two problems that have not been solved.
"
"Mr. Mu, are you referring to the spokesperson and series name?"
Qin Mushi nodded: "The audience for this product is women between the ages of 20 and 50. Women are actually the most impulsive creatures. I want a special and exquisite series name that can make them germinate immediately after seeing it.
This most instinctive impulse.”
Nie Sheng rubbed his head: "This sounds a bit difficult. I'm not a woman, so I really can't figure out what they want in their hearts?"
Qin Mujie smiled and shook his head, then asked: "By the way, how did you go about finding a spokesperson?"
Nie Sheng handed over a stack of information: "This is the information I selected from major economic companies on the more popular female stars in recent years. Mr. Mu, please take a look."
"I don't want to be popular." Qin Mujie pushed away: "I want a brand new face that has never appeared in public. It's better to have a fresher temperament, not one that looks impetuous and powerful at first glance. The appearance is not good.
It needs to be beautiful, but also durable, comfortable, and approachable.”
After hearing this, Nie Sheng stood there, seeming to be thinking about something.
"What? Have you thought of any suitable candidates?" Qin Muzhe asked.
