Chapter 8: He is not there, but he can still influence her

Fortunately, the whole morning's work went very smoothly, and it wasn't until lunch that Gu Qinglime rubbed his wrist that was a little sour and raised his eyes to look at the time.

After saying hello to his colleagues, Gu Qingling turned around and went downstairs to eat in the staff canteen.

Halfway through the meal, the scorching sun and clear sky outside were suddenly covered by thick dark clouds, and the sky suddenly became gloomy.

Within two minutes, the rumbling thunder rang out.

Then came the downpour.

Gu Qinglime sat by the window, looking at the rain outside, her mind was a little confused, and some pictures suddenly appeared in her mind, but they were fleeting.

In a moment of thought, she suddenly remembered that she was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring an umbrella.

Looking at the appearance of this heavy rain, if it hadn't stopped when she got off work in the afternoon, it was unlikely that she would have rushed to the Huo family's old house in time.

Anyway, Huo Wangbei wouldn't come to pick her up.

Every time he went back to the old house, Huo Wangbei and her walked separately, and they were unwilling to pretend to be close even on the surface.

The Huo family is not an ordinary family, even if she can take a taxi, she can't go directly to the door.

It's not difficult to take a taxi, but it's not easy to walk alone with an umbrella in such a heavy rain.

Gu Qingling lowered her head, finished eating the contents of the bowl, put away the dishes and chopsticks, returned to her office, lay on her desk, and squinted for a while.

There was thunder outside, and she didn't sleep well, and the things that had happened in her memory were like a surging tide, rampaging in her mind, and she couldn't even ignore it.

In her sleep, Gu Qingling only felt that she was back that night, and Huo Wangbei, who suddenly rushed into the room, grabbed her wrist and forcibly asked her for it regardless of her wishes.

Huo Wangbei woke up the next day, but thought that she had drugged him, and this incident was also a trap she set for him, holding her neck and almost strangling her.

If it weren't for Chi Yao's illness, she still needed someone who was alive, had the same special blood type as Chi Yao, and could help find a cure for Chi Yao, she would probably have died at his hands that day.

From that day on, their relationship suddenly changed even more.

The alarm clock on her phone went off just as she was about to sink into a deeper nightmare, pulling her out of the layers of despair and panic.

When she woke up, her forehead was covered with sweat, and there was some panic in her expression.

This dream, unsurprisingly, affected her work situation.

Compared with the morning, in the afternoon hours, her work progress can only be said to be turtle speed, and from time to time she will stare at a certain point in a daze.

I have to admit that even if Huo Wangbei is not here, she will be affected by him.

In addition to the work, there is also the weather outside.

Maybe it's the good and not the bad spirit, this rain is menacing, but unexpectedly long-lasting, it's already this time, and there is no sense of stopping.

Seeing it, it's time to get off work.

Gu Qingling slowly packed up her things, looked at the rainstorm outside, and sighed.

Whether it's going to the supermarket across the street to buy an umbrella or waiting for the rain to stop, it doesn't seem like a realistic choice.

……

In the Huo family's mansion, Huo Wangbei sat on the sofa and just took a sip of tea......
