072. I turned out to be buckling a seat belt
"Don't you even have the most humble shacks in the suburbs?"
Qiao Man obviously misunderstood what Huo Yingqi meant, she just thought that it was very remote and she couldn't find a hotel, and it was raining so heavily, Huo Yingqi was afraid that there would be no place to stay.
In the past, when she hid in Tibet to avoid her mother, she even slept in the bridge hole, what were she afraid of.
When things are at the worst they will mend.
"Xiaoman, you are my wife. ”
At the moment when she raised her eyes in horror, Huo Yingqi's deep eyes almost swept her away like an undercurrent wave.
He knew that she finally understood, and glanced down at the hand she was protecting in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Take your hand away." ”
Qiao Man stared at him in disbelief, and the whole person was forced to the corner by the car door, and there was no way back behind him.
Damn, it's too unscrupulous, and there are two big living people in front of it.
Although the rain was much lighter, there were still raindrops beating on the car, and the muffled sound of ticking and ticking in the car was like the frequency of her heart beating wildly.
I really couldn't be scolded by him, Qiao Man bit his lip tightly for a moment, and his big watery eyes stared at the evil playfulness in his eyes.
Hasn't this man always been a serious straight man?
When did it suddenly start to become like this?
She was completely enveloped by his unique but rather pleasant smell, and her brain was quite clear.
Yes, they have received a marriage certificate and are already a legal husband and wife, even if they are not engaged, have no rings, no weddings, and no witnesses from relatives and friends, and no more people know that they are married, but their relationship is already an ironclad fact, and it makes sense for him to tease her like this.
She is not a hypocritical girl, however, with their current relationship, what Huo Yingqi really does to her at this moment must not be taken for granted.
Qiao Man's pale lips that were bitten by himself trembled slightly, and his eyes were shy and angry that could not be concealed: "You...... Don't overdo it!"
Huo Yingqi stared at the woman for a long time before he said slowly: "I am sincere." ”
She took two deep breaths, suddenly put down the hand that was blocking the two of them, closed her eyes and clenched her teeth secretly, but she was irritated in her heart, such a ghost weather, still in the car, the most angry thing is that she was still teased in front of the man's subordinates?
At the moment when Qiao Man glared at him, the curvature of Huo Yingqi's lips deepened, and her dark eyes fell on her little face that looked at death as if she were at home, lowered her head, and slowly approached.
Until she could almost feel the breath coming from his nose, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
She thought that if the man really dared to lean over, she would bite his lip.
Bite hard to see if he still has the face to go out to meet people.
But suddenly, Huo Yingqi's head was tilted, and Qiao Mandang heard a small crisp sound of "click" in front of him.
She immediately opened her eyes, looked at the man who had retreated to the driver's seat in astonishment, and then looked down to see the seat belt buckled in front of her, and instantly a red tide of shame rose on her face.
It turned out to be a seat belt.
Qiao Man's face flushed, and he adjusted his sitting posture very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at the man next to him who was in a very good mood.
After a pause, she asked softly, "How have you been lately...... Did you play with those people again?"
Huo Yingqi tilted his head and asked, "Hmm, who are they?"
"Isn't it the same one who went to the bar with you last time, they ......"
Qiao Man's words blurted out, and suddenly felt that these words were not suitable for her to say, let alone on an occasion like today, so she stopped talking in time.
"Oh, you said it's those fox friends in Dingbang, if you don't like me being with them, I don't have to deal with them. ”
The corners of Xu Tezhu's mouth twitched in the front row, if Dingbang, who always came to the company, knew that the president defined him like this, I don't know if this business relationship could continue, and whether the small relationship between them for so many years could continue.
What a model of forgetting friends.
Qiao Man didn't speak, turned his face away in embarrassment, and pretended to look out the window.
Huo Yingqi chuckled, it turned out that Xiaoman cared about him so much, it seems that Chen Dingbang's "three dead policy" of stalking him, being shameless and not letting go is really right.
He reached out and gently shook Qiao Man's hand.
The woman wanted to retract, but he grabbed it tightly, but he refused to let go.
Qiao Man was pulled a little painfully, so he simply let him go.
When I reached the suburbs, I found that it was raining more heavily than in the city, and it was muddy everywhere.
Huo Yingqi looked at the scenery outside the window, and said: "We will get out of the car to investigate the construction site later, the road over there is very difficult to walk, so don't go." ”
Qiao Man continued, "Perhaps, I can also help a little?"
Huo Yingqi thought for a while and said, "In this way, you do a good job of logistics, let the driver of the car behind take you, book a few rooms, well, it's best to book a small conference room and wait for our call." ”
This is the best division of labor, Qiao Man nodded.
Liu Bin's car stopped in front of a homestay, and Qiao Man beckoned to the driver who was carrying her, signaling the driver to stop and follow in.
Fok Yingqi's car soon disappeared into the rain.
Although he really wanted to continue grinding his ears and temples, the burden of responsibility did not allow him to relax now.
He had more important things to do.
It is best that the landslide did not hurt the workers, and there are rescue and after-the-fact measures.
Qiao Man observed this B&B, it was simple and clean, and there were extra rooms.
She took out her ID card and wallet, and the driver also came in, two people, and could only open two standard rooms.
There is no choice but to wait for them to come back.
"Then bother you, let's reserve two standard rooms for us, and we have three men in the team. ”
"Now in the rainy season, there are more guests, and I can't guarantee that if there are guests, I may have to rent them out. ”
"Then I'll pay the deposit first. ”
The shopkeeper nodded, and Qiao Man went back to his room to rest.
Huo Yingqi and the others went, and they didn't come back for a day.
Qiao Man held the phone, shook it around, and never pressed the number.
She knew very well in her heart that if the matter was not complicated and serious, they would definitely come over after the matter was done, but there was no news for so long, indicating that there was a problem on the construction site.
During this period, she called her grandfather and explained her whereabouts.
The old man is also a person who has been in the company all his life, he understands very well, and said: "There is a problem with the company's project, and it is even related to the lives and safety of the workers, this is a big thing, no matter how important it is to make money, but you must also have a conscience, since the two of you have gone to the suburbs, you have to help him a little, settle everything over there, if there are wounded, the ambulance should be called to save people first, and then rescue the project, you know?"
Joe's eyes were hot and he said, "I see, grandpa." ”
I can't call to share Huo Yingqi's heart, I just hope that things will be solved quickly.
Because of anxiety and worry, I don't have much appetite.
After eating a little white porridge and vegetables with the shopkeeper, Qiao Man felt very full, and she went back to her room in a hurry.
The heavy rain was really not so heavy, and the rain gradually became lighter.
In the afternoon, the heavy rain finally stopped, and a rainbow hung diagonally in the sky.
Qiao Man pushed open the window to look, and his mood was much better.
As soon as she walked to the lobby of the B&B, she heard the sound of an ambulance whizzing by, and her heart tightened.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Yingqi and Xu Tezhu came back in embarrassment.
The original clean clothes were all mud stains, and I looked haggard, and I didn't know what had happened.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and was just about to say why these people were so dirty, but Qiao Man had already let them into the room to take a bath.
"There are no big malls nearby, just a few cheap casual T-shirts and sports pants, and I also bought a few boxes of underwear and a few pairs of socks, and I don't know if you can wear them. ”
Huo Yingqi took a set and said to her, "You take it out and give it to Xu Tezhu." ”
When Qiao Man was about to walk to the gate, he said again, "Later...... You are not allowed to buy clothes, especially underwear, for other men except me. ”
Qiao Man was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I chose your set, and their clothes were bought by the driver." ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
Really, such things have to be taken care of.
There is a lot of inconvenience when she goes out, and since she is managing logistics, she must take it into account.
However, Huo Yingqi's clothes were really bought according to the size of the wet clothes she had changed, and the driver followed at the time, estimated the figure of other people, and bought two more copies.
After handing over the clothes, Qiao Man returned to the room, put away Huo Yingqi's wet coat and socks that he had taken off, put them in the dirty clothes basket, and prepared to wash them after a while.
Huo Yingqi walked out of the shower, his upper body was still naked with water droplets, and his honey-colored skin exuded a prince-like charm in the bright daylight light.
The sturdy but not muscular figure is too good to say, from top to bottom, there is no trace of excess fat, everything is so good, only a loose bath towel is tied underneath, one hand holds a towel to wipe the black hair that is wet and shiny, and the other hand pulls the bathroom door.
Qiao Man inadvertently turned his head and saw him, obviously he should have turned away the moment his eyes touched, but he couldn't help but stare at the refreshing and clean man even more stunned.
Her eyes looked at his handsome face in a daze, and her mind suddenly felt a trance.
In fact, this man is still very good when he does things seriously.
Unlike many wealthy second ancestors in the family, who sing and dance all day long, he is taking one step at a time, carrying the burden of the family, and doing things seriously.
Especially today, he was able to come out and stand on the muddy construction site for the first time, look at the situation of the workers, and check the loss of the project, which is still very responsible.
I remember when I was studying, a teacher once said: "When you grow up, you must find a man with a strong sense of responsibility, so that you will be taken care of well." Now, you are still young and don't know what an excellent man is, but you can look at it, any boy who meets a teacher when holding your hand and shakes off your hand at the first time is definitely not a very responsible person, and he doesn't dare to stand up bravely to take responsibility for holding hands, let alone expect them to be responsible for your future in the future. ”
In retrospect, it really makes sense.
Because he was still thinking about his thoughts, Qiao Man watched Huo Yingqi's action of wiping his hair, and forgot to look away when he saw it.
However, he only glanced at her and turned to go into the bedroom.
didn't tease her anymore, it seems that the man still has something on his mind.
Sure enough, in about two or three minutes, Huo Yingqi had already walked out of the bathroom neatly dressed, and then put a few banknotes on the coffee table next to her.
"Let the driver survey the terrain first, if the road is flooded, you will live here for the time being, and if you need anything, you will go to the neighborhood to buy it yourself. ”
Seeing that he was leaving, she asked without thinking about it, "You don't live here?"
Huo Yingqi paused and turned his face to look at her.
Qiao Man immediately realized that the words he blurted out were actually full of invitations at this moment.
Isn't she going to refuse?
If he really stayed, it seemed abnormal for this lonely man and widow to be in the same room without anything happening.
She suddenly cursed herself secretly ten thousand times in her heart, and then, she raised her eyes and explained with a smile: "I mean...... It'll be dark in a while, what are you going to do?"
Huo Yingqi looked at her for a while, and her thin lips moved slightly: "There is a bit of trouble over there, we have to go over, the signal over there is not good, and the phone can't be called at all, I'm afraid you're worried, I'll rush over and tell you." ”
After a pause, he turned around and walked up to her.
Because she was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, Huo Yingqi slowly leaned down, locked her eyes on the surprise in her eyes, stretched out her hand to lift her chin, and said in a soft and unbelievable tone: "Wait for me to come back." ”
She frowned slightly, there seemed to be a needle in her heart, and she hurriedly turned her head to avoid his hand: "Huo Yingqi!"
"Are you afraid of loneliness? But now I'm afraid I don't have time to fulfill my duties as a husband. The corners of his lips were tilted.
"Huo Yingqi!"
Qiao Man shouted at the man again by name and surname.
The first sound is worry, and this one is shame.
Huo Yingqi turned around and said seriously: "It's okay, the rescue over there is already going on in an orderly manner, it's just that if I am there, everyone will definitely feel more at ease, there must be someone there to preside over the overall situation, you will understand, right?"
Qiao Man came back to his senses from that stunned moment, and said loudly: "Take care of yourself, I'm here waiting for you to come back and go home together!"
"Good!"
The sound of a car's engine sounded outside the gate, and Qiao Man was still standing in place stupidly.
Were you just moved by the man's behavior?
Why do you stupidly blurt out such words?
Like a little woman waiting for a man to return triumphantly.
Oh my God, where is she?
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Man said to himself: That's because he is angry, he wants to come together, he wants to go together, yes, it must be so.
In the afternoon, Qiao Man washed all his wet clothes and hung them on the balcony.
Because of the rain, the humidity is very heavy, and I am afraid that it will not dry for a while and a half.
In the evening, she went into the room again, blew it with a hairdryer, and hung it up again.
Before falling asleep, she looked out the dew-filled window and prayed that everything would go well on the other side of the construction site.
This night, Qiao Man slept very unsteadily, and she was awakened several times.
Later, she simply stopped sleeping, lit the lamp, took out a copy of "Pride and Prejudice" from the bookshelf next to her, and looked at it seriously.
This is one of her favorite books from her school days.
By the time a book was almost read, it was dawn.
Qiao Man rubbed his swollen eyes, got up and stretched, pushed the door open and went out, the shopkeeper had already prepared breakfast.
After she finished washing, she followed the driver around the table to eat steamed buns and drink white porridge.
As soon as he took a bite of the steamed bun, he vaguely heard the sound of a car outside the door.
Qiao Man threw it on the steamed bun and walked out quickly, and sure enough, he saw Huo Yingqi and his party coming back.
She rushed up, grabbed Huo Yingqi's hands, looked the man up and down, and didn't find a single scar, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is everything settled?"
"Well, it's all in place. ”
"Well, go wash your faces, and come to dinner. ”
Xu Tezhu's mouth was sweet, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, young lady." ”
Qiao Man was stunned, and then realized that he was still holding Huo Yingqi's hand, and quickly let go.
Huo Yingqi looked at the back of the woman fleeing, turned around and glanced at Xu Tezhu: "Go back and receive the reward." ”
"Thank you, President. ”
After eating, the group did not stay for long.
Qiao Man naturally knew the priority of the matter, she followed the driver back to the villa, and Huo Yingqi went back to the Huo Mansion first.
They went straight to the elevator from the underpass, and not many people knew that he was back.
In the president's office, sunlight shines through the large glass windows in the spacious and bright office.
The silence of the room, except for the occasional sound of files and files turning pages.
"Knock~~" There was a sudden knock on the door.
Huo Yingqi paused, his inky eyes lifted slightly, and looked at the closed wooden door.
On weekdays, when someone visits, the front desk secretary will make an appointment for him in advance, and the news of his return has not been revealed to the secretary, even if there is really no person who has an appointment, the secretariat will call in advance to explain the situation.
The only person in this world who can enter and exit the Gu Mansion as if entering a no-man's land is Huang Rui'er.
"Come in. His lips moved slightly, and Huo Yingqi replied lightly.
After a night of careful arrangement, and without a good rest, if you look closely, you can see that his eye circles are a little dark.
The door was pushed open from the outside in, and a slender figure appeared in front of the door.
Huang Rui'er, who was dressed in a goose yellow dress, smiled brightly when she pushed the door in, and stuck out her tongue in his direction: "Yingqi, I came so directly, did I disturb your work?"
Huo Yingqi had no choice but to close the file box and asked, "Why are you here?"
Huang Rui'er smiled sweetly, and the seaweed-like curls that reached her waist fell gracefully on her shoulders as she turned around and gently closed the door.
She put her hands behind her back, lifted her little feet in a pair of white heels, and approached his desk step by step in his unfazed gaze.
Then, smiling and tilting his head to look at him.
"I've been on a short trip for the past few days, going to the beach to bask in the sun, you see, I'm tanned!"
Huo Yingqi nodded: "Yes, it's a little dark." ”
"Really, is it a lot darker? Isn't it ugly?"
After a pause, Huo Yingqi said to Huang Rui'er: "I'm sorry, I'm really busy today, you can go back first, okay?"
The smile on Huang Rui'er's face couldn't help but retract, and her smart eyes crossed a trace of loss that could be easily detected.
"Yingqi, I'll just sit next to you, you're busy with you, okay? I won't bother you. ”
"Still don't, you have your own things to do. His voice was dull and flat, and he could not hear joy or anger.
Huang Ruier is not without loss.
Huo Yingqi would never treat her so coldly, every time, she was unreasonable, he would tolerate her.
Last time, she deliberately pounced on the subway entrance and said coquettishly: "People are only four years old, carry me, brother!"
Huo Yingqi even laughed, saying that the more she lived, the more she turned back.
But now, she didn't even allow her to sit on the sofa next to her and accompany him without speaking.
You must know that since she can remember, she has often heard the old man of the Huo family chattering, saying that when she grows up, she will be his granddaughter-in-law.
Every time Grandpa Huo talked about it, she would pretend to be angry, but when she turned around, she smiled happier than a fool.
For a long time, although Huo Yingqi has not verbally agreed, he has never really refused.
Every time he heard the old man mention the marriage between the two of them, he just laughed it off.
She and Huo Yingqi, the two are really childhood sweethearts, they grew up together, went to school together, and Yingqi is always cold to other girls, but she is very good to her.
Whenever there was a naughty boy at school who wanted to bully her, he would always protect her behind him and drive the naughty boy aside to play.
He has always been very good to her, spoiling her everywhere, loving her, and never letting her suffer a little grievance.
She believed that Yingqi must like her.
This low-key man just doesn't say it with his mouth, and he knows her good in his heart.
Huang Ruier is sure that in this life, Huo Yingqi is destined to be her Huang Ruier's husband.
As long as she marries Yingqi, she will be the real Huo family from now on.
In the future, she will definitely be the only hostess of the Huo family!
In the past few years, the old man of the Huo family has been urging the marriage of the two of them, and her dependence and liking on Huo Yingqi can be seen by the whole Huo family.
Fortunately, the two families are equal, the door is right, and they are talented and beautiful, so it is really good to match.
And Yingqi is more and more indulgent to her, and occasionally kisses her so symbolically when she is coquettish, and it seems that there is not much resistance to this marriage that the whole family has identified.
Although she didn't feel the kind of love he gave to men and women, she always believed in herself, and as long as she married him, she would definitely make him fall in love with her one day.
It's not the kind that likes his sister, but a man's deep love for a woman.
She will walk on a red carpet covered with thousands of rose petals, and she will be gently persisted by Huo Yingqi, and with the blessing of everyone, she will hold a much-anticipated wedding of the century.
But she never thought that just as she had been abroad for a while, the woman named Qiao Man inexplicably broke in.
