The metal knife and fork collided with the jade-like plate, making a crisp sound. This sudden sound made Qing Wu and Xia Zhijing on the dining table tremble slightly.
Qingwu hurriedly took back the knife and fork and held them in her palms, but her palms were so cold and her hands kept shaking...
It turns out that this is the feeling of not being able to hold something. Even if you hold it tightly in your hand, you feel powerless because the knife and fork are not yours. No matter how tight you are, you can't keep other people's things.
Xia Zhijing showed an innocent smile and asked with concern, "Sister Qingwu, are you okay? Is the steak too hard and the fork is not used to it?"
Qingwu was a little startled, and twitched the corners of her lips, "No, I was distracted just now, I'm sorry."
Why did she say sorry?
Looking at Xia Zhijing's clear eyes, there is always a feeling of guilt of not wanting to hurt or violate him. This girl must love him very much, right? Crazy, you will be very happy if you can find such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.
Bar?
Soon, Huo Chengxi returned from the study. In just a few minutes, his handsome face was instantly covered with a layer of frost-like indifference that made it difficult to approach. His eyes were as hot as a sharp sword, and he was clearly walking towards Xia Zhijing.
, but looked at Qing Wu.
"Zekai, did something happen to the company?" Xia Zhijing asked softly.
Huo Chengxi held the red wine between his graceful fingers and slowly raised it. His eyes penetrated the clear crystal glass bottle, reflecting Qingwu's pale face.
"Everything in the company is running normally. Not only are there no problems, but there will also be a big project to be done soon, so I may not have time to accompany you during this period."
He spoke to Xia Zhijing, his eyes never moving away from Qingwu...
suddenly--
Huo Chengxi's cell phone rang again.
This time he answered the call, and after a few hums, he handed the phone to Qingwu Erzhi, who was sitting opposite him. His tall body was slightly forward, and his handsome face was charming and bewitching.
But with an unpredictable smile, Qingwu hesitated for a while...
"Answer the phone, I'm looking for you."
His deep black eyes flashed with unknown light, and he answered the phone quietly.
"Hello……?"
She had an ominous premonition because the person on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Qingwu? I'm Han Shikai."
"Are you looking for me?"
It's strange, why would Han Shikai come to me?
"My husband, I couldn't find you anywhere, so I called me out of desperation." Han Shikai's tone was a little heavy, "Your husband asked me to take you back because..."
"I don't want to mention him anymore! Tell him that I don't want to see him for the time being!" Qing Wu interrupted.
"No, you have to go back because your child has a fever and is hospitalized. I heard that he is undergoing examination and the situation is not very optimistic..."
Qingwu immediately put down her phone and rushed out of the living room...
She ignored her legs that had not fully recovered and ran out like crazy. When she reached the door, she suddenly fell.
Her knee was injured again, and she lay on the ground, unable to move...
Huo Chengxi was in the living room. After hearing the sound of Qingwu falling to the ground, his hands suddenly clenched into fists. After hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly rushed out of the living room.
Looking at the woman lying on the ground, her jade-like slender legs under the long skirt were curled up together due to pain, and her pale face was covered with fine cold sweat. She stubbornly pushed away and wanted to pick her up.
My own Huo Chengxi.
"I can do it. I...I..."
Her voice became broken, showing how painful she was from the fall!
Huo Chengxi frowned slightly, and regardless of her stubborn resistance, he picked her up domineeringly with his big hands. His soft body was held in his arms, making people fall in love with her. It was like a part of his body. How could he let her go and forget her?
She stared at him...
There was a slight pain in my sore throat, and a name was about to slip out of my pale lips.
Chengxi...
Chengxi...?
Why did she want to call out this name with all her strength at this moment?
However...
When she was about to speak, Xia Zhijing, who was in a hurry to follow, stepped forward and asked, "Zekai, are Sister Qingwu okay?"
She stood in front of the two of them. Huo Chengxi looked at Qing Wu's focused eyes, which quickly darkened and returned to his indifferent coldness.
"Peter, take Qingwu back for me."
He let go of his hand and left her weak waist. She felt the center of gravity of her body being pulled away and fell into the arms of another man.
Qingwu didn't speak, but pursed her trembling lips with tears streaming down her face.
"Sorry, I still have something to do and can't send you back."
After Huo Chengxi finished speaking, he subconsciously looked away from Qing Wu, and his big hand fell stiffly on Xia Zhijing's shoulder.
Qingwu nodded and did not speak.
Maybe it was the leg injury that made her in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Or maybe...
When her eyes fell on Huo Chengxi resting on Xia Zhijing's shoulders, she felt jealousy she had never felt before, making her so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak...
…
*
Qingwu endured the pain in her injured knee and sat in the car. She was so cold that she was sweating all over. She kept enduring, enduring...
It wasn't until she saw the hospital building in front of her that she breathed a sigh of relief and limped into the VIP ward of the hospital.
"Xiaojie, Xiaojie!!"
She shouted in the corridor of the hospital. When she thought of her child, who was suffering from illness at the moment, she began to blame herself again and again.
"It's my mother's fault. I shouldn't have been willful and refused to go home. Xiaojie...Xiaojie..."
All the way outside the ward, her steps slowed down.
Opening the door of the ward slightly, she saw the little boy with a chubby little face as pale as a blood, surrounded by a group of medical staff, his dancing hands holding the edge of the ward door, and his heart beating harder.
quick……
"Xiaojie..."
She didn't have the courage to go in because she was afraid that if she went in, I wouldn't even have the strength to stand on my legs.
Suddenly——
The door opened.
Her tear-filled eyes met a haggard and handsome face. This gentle man's eyes were so sad, even a hundred times more painful than Qingwu's.
"Wu, you're here..."
Huo Wenxuan's amber eyes were filled with tears. This was the first time he cried in front of Qing Wu. His hands hugged Qing Wu tightly, and the hot tears snaked down his handsome face, trembling.
It fell on the delicate skin of Qingwu's neck.
"Xuan, what's wrong...you...?" When she thought of what Han Shikai said and those photos of him with other women, she felt so sad and hateful, but when she saw Huo Wenxuan crying, she
