Chapter 80: My Conditions Are ...... You sleep with me for a day
Now her feelings have finally received a little response from Huo Qingnan, even in such a humble way, or even in a lowly way, but she ...... I have to admit that Huo Qingnan's words really moved her heart.
At least now she can stay by his side, it is much better to be sad to hide under the covers alone than to look at him from afar.
As for the future, I'll talk about it later......
Nowadays, people are saying that people should live in the present moment and not think too far, because no one knows which will come first, accident or tomorrow, right?
Xia Huan's hand hooked Huo Qingnan's neck, gently lowered it a little, and looked at him with a smile.
Huo Qingnan was still frowning, looking at her smiling in his arms, there was only one thought in his heart, he had to take her for himself in this life, she ...... It's all his at all times, and she belongs to him alone.
Even so, he will be sorry for Qiao Mengyi, but he can't control this matter, so let's follow his heart once, at least don't let himself fall into a violent mood all the time.
Actually, Xia Huan has a sentence that is right, he wants to ask for peace of mind.
Huo Qingnan stretched out his hand to hold Xia Huan's face, his fingertips caressed her cheek, and there was a depth in his eyes that Xia Huan couldn't understand.
He was about to bow his head to kiss her, but Xia Huan was one step ahead of him, hooked his neck with both hands, stood on tiptoe, and quickly kissed his lips.
Xia Huan's sudden action shocked Huo Qingnan, looking at her eyebrows and eyes in front of him, Huo Qingnan's mind moved, holding her face and just wanted to deepen the kiss, but Xia Huan just touched it and left his lips.
Xia Huan looked at him and asked in a low voice, "This is what you want, right?"
In an instant, he was a little unhappy, because he was actually teased by her.
"But" she Xia Huan looked at Huo Qingnan, blinked and smiled: "But this is also your office, and you still do things ...... There are a lot of inconveniences, so if you have a need, we go home at night and take our time. β
"You" Huo Qingnan was about to speak, but Xia Huan had already reached out to take away the hand he was wrapping around her waist, took three steps back, and a smile flashed in his eyes when he looked at him.
She smiled and waved at him: "Goodbye, my dear Mr. Huo, see you in the evening." β
Huo Qingnan stood in front of the desk, looked at her with a faint look in her eyes, turned around and left without hesitation, and the corners of her mouth curled a little.
After thinking about it for so long, I told Xia Huan today, he was in a good mood at this moment, and the troubles that had been pressing on his heart during this time were released at this moment, and there was an unprecedented sense of relief.
Even before, Xia Huan was very resistant, disgusted and even dissatisfied with his request, but in the end he agreed to him. In fact, it doesn't matter to him how the process is, he always only cares about the result.
But Qiao Mengyi's side Huo Qingnan raised his eyebrows and lowered his head, clasped his arms with both hands, and frowned slightly, Xia Huan got it, now he has to go with the flow.
Because of Xia Huan's existence, he felt that he could no longer be single-minded with Qiao Mengyi, but at present, if he wanted to eliminate such a mentality, he thought that he should try to get closer to Xia Huan. Because only in this way will he thoroughly figure out who Xia Huan and Qiao Mengyi love more, who he cares more about, and who is more important to him.
When Xia Huan walked out of the president's office, she raised her wrist to look at the time, and found that she was in Huo Qingnan's office, staying for an hour and forty minutes.
And during this period, Fang Tezhu had been waiting outside, and when he saw her finally come out, his tense expression instantly relaxed, and the heart he was carrying also fell.
Xia Huan looked at him and smiled silently.
Because it was work time, Fang Tezhu had other staff members around him, so Xia Huan didn't have a chance to talk to him, not even to say hello, but just looked at each other, then quickly withdrew her gaze, and then she went straight to wait for the elevator.
She and Huo Qingnan had a good conversation in the office, and since Fang Tezhu had been waiting here, he should have known that they didn't quarrel today, but had a good conversation.
There was nothing abnormal when she came out, and there was nothing abnormal in Huo Qingnan, so now Fang Tezhu should also rest assured.
Fang Yan was indeed outside all the time, always paying attention to the inside, seeing that Xia Huan didn't slam the door and came out, and he didn't seem to be in a bad mood, he could still smile at him, which meant that the conversation was good, and there was nothing abnormal in Mr. Huo in the office, so the heart he was carrying really fell steadily.
Li Ling, the secretary of the president's office, glanced back at Xia Huan who was waiting for the elevator, then looked back at Fang Yan, and suddenly said: "Fang Tezhu, this new employee of the planning department, how do I think she has a good relationship with Mr. Huo." β
"Where did you hear this nonsense, Huo's employees came to find Mr. Huo, just have a good relationship?" Fang Yan glanced at Li Ling, paused and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do for a day, be careful to make Mr. Huo angry." β
"I just asked casually, what are you doing so much, and I don't mean anything else. I just watched her come to the president's office more often than the head of her planning department. β
Hearing this, Fang Yan looked at her and whispered: "Don't chew your tongue, your time in the president's office is not short, some things should be said and some things should not be said, I believe you have points in your heart, and she is an employee of the Huo family, isn't it normal to come to the boss if you have a problem?"
Hearing this, Li Ling stood up, approached Fang Yan's side, lowered her voice and said to him: "I didn't say that it was abnormal, but Fang Tezhu, in this company, since Xia Huan came in, he has received a lot of special treatment that no one else has, and I have heard many versions of this Xia Huan's rumors, one is more mysterious than the other, and the sum is comparable to a bloody drama, are you interested in hearing it? You are Mr. Huo's personal assistant, you should know a little bit about Xia Huan's background, right?" The most exciting gossip I've ever heard is that she was raised by a certain high-level person, is this true? Who is that high-level person? I heard that she was able to come in, and the Huo family went through the back door so quickly to turn positive, is this true?"
The door of the president's office suddenly opened, Huo Qingnan appeared at the door, startled Li Ling, who was talking, and hurriedly reached out and patted his chest, calming down, and Fang Yan's words about to reprimand Li Ling were immediately swallowed.
Huo Qingnanda walked out and glanced at them casually, thinking that they were reporting to work, so he didn't take this scene to heart at all.
And Fang Yan took the opportunity to glance at Huo Qingnan and found that his expression was as usual, it seemed that he was talking to Xia Huan today, the two of them did not quarrel, and Xia Huan did not talk back......
Seeing that Huo Qingnan was leaving, Fang Yan also hurriedly walked over, followed behind Huo Qingnan, and left together, because he stayed here, he didn't know what Li Ling would say.
After watching Fang Yan and Huo Qingnan leave, she returned to her seat and sat down, bowing her head and carefully sorting out the documents for today's meeting on the table, until she saw the president's special elevator close the door, she raised her head again, glanced at the entire office, and looked nonchalant.
Li Ling picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, then stuffed it on the table into her bag, turned back to the person behind her and said, "Xiao Zhou, I'll go to the bathroom, if the internal phone here rings, remember to help me pick it up." β
"Oh, good. β
After Li Ling finished speaking, she stood up, walked out of the desk casually, strode into the bathroom, checked the bathroom, and determined that there was no one inside, so she walked into the last one and quickly locked the door, took out her mobile phone, and quickly output a familiar number.
"Hey, hello, I'm Li Ling"
I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, she continued: "I have something to report, don't worry, I'm in the bathroom now, Mr. Huo and Fang Tezhu went out, I checked the bathroom, no one." β
"By the way, I called to tell you that Xia Huan stayed in Mr. Huo's office for an hour and forty minutes at noon today, I remember that Mr. Huo had an appointment with Xu's manager at noon today, but he didn't go, it seems that Mr. Lu went, I saw it. β
"I noticed before that Xia Huan was called away by Fang Tezhu before he finished eating in the cafeteria, and then I followed, outside the office, Fang Tezhu said a lot to her, but it was very quiet, I don't know what they said, but Xia Huan then went into Mr. Huo's office, but after Xia Huan went in, Fang Tezhu waited outside until Xia Huan came out, I could see that Xia Huan's expression was very nervous after Xia Huan went in, but after Xia Huan came out, he relaxed, and Xia Huan came out of it, not abnormal at all, the same as usualγ β
"Just after Xia Huan left, I also used Fang Tezhu's words, but he refused to say a word, his tone was very tight, and after a while, Mr. Huo came out, and then he left with Mr. Huo. β
"Okay, I'm calling to tell you about it, and now I'm going to hang up, I'll tell you if there's a new development, okay, goodbye. Li Ling lowered her voice and said this, then quickly hung up the phone, stuffed the phone back into her pocket again, tidied up her hair, and checked the bathroom again, but no one came during this period. Then she washed her hands casually, turned and walked out.
As for Xia Huan, when Fang Tezhu was looking for her, in fact, she went with a mood of indifference, even broken jars, what she thought was that if she couldn't negotiate well, she would simply sign and divorce immediately, so that she could leave as soon as possible.
But after talking to Huo Qingnan and she came out of the president's office, her thoughts changed.
Although, she didn't know whether she was wrong or right to do this, she didn't know what the final result would be if she agreed, but her existence could make Huo Qingnan uneasy and sleep, make him embarrassed between Qiao Mengyi and her, make him irritable every day, and make him powerless, indicating that she still has a certain place in his heart.
However, no matter what, she didn't seem to be able to go further and go to a higher position, as if no matter how hard she tried, she was just like this in his heart, and there was no chance to surpass Qiao Mengyi.
In fact, this is not what she wants, because now, she feels very cheap, she is by Huo Qingnan's side every day, but she is sneaky and unsightly, just like a lover who has been adopted, or a junior who destroys other people's families, enjoying the charity that Huo Qingnan gave her, this feeling is very awkward, this feeling seems to be distorted.
What she wants is for her to love him, and for the affection she gives to be reciprocated by him.
Although, she knew, it was a distant dream.
Xia Huan sighed slightly, when will Huo Qingnan love her as much as she loves him?
Maybe Huo Qingnan won't love her in this life, after all, he has Qiao Mengyi, and she is just a freshness to Huo Qingnan......
At half past two in the afternoon, the company held a meeting on a certain project, because Huo Qingnan was out, so the host of the meeting was Vice President Lu Zichen, Yan Tian also participated as the director of the planning department, she sat in the second position on Lu Zichen's right hand, since she sat in the position, opened the meeting notebook, kept holding a pen in her hand, and then she has been in the fugue, Lu Zichen said for a while, but Yan Tian's notebook was still blank, and her eyes kept falling on the blank meeting notebook.
In the entire conference room, only Lu Zichen's voice was heard, and every word came into everyone's ears so clearly. Those people are also taking notes.
Said Tilt was boringly scribbling on the record book with a pen at the moment, of course Lu Zichen also noticed her, he could see it, Yan Tilt was wandering now, remember
Before, every time she did this, he would keep tickling her, and then calling her name while scratching her, until she came to her senses and fell into his arms laughing.
It's just that now...... Things have long been wrong.
Now the one who threw herself into his arms, smiling happily, was her sister, Mu Jiaqi.
Yan Qian was thinking, I don't know, when Mu Jiaqi was distracted, Lu Zichen would scratch her and call her, and then hug her
At this moment, Yan Tian wanted to laugh a little, how could he think of these two people again...... Will they do anything about her?
However, she was still curious, would Lu Zichen think of her when he called Jiaqi, even if he inadvertently remembered that there was such a person as her.
I'm afraid it won't, after all, there is someone he likes in his arms, how can he still think of her abandoned ex?
Suddenly, the tip of the pen slashed the notebook, making a harsh sound, the paper couldn't bear to look at it directly, it was just like a ghost drawing, and now it was scratched, and then her heart was the same as this paper, a little painful.
Because of this sound, it was slightly harsh in this quiet conference room, but it instantly attracted the attention of the people next to him, and everyone's eyes brushed over, Yan Tian raised his head and smiled embarrassedly, and quickly waved his hand gently.
Then she quickly tore the paper, put the pen in the middle of the notebook, and crossed her hands under the table.
This scene was naturally also seen by Lu Zichen.
Ever since Yan Tian came in, he had been observing Yan Tian, and his eyes had fallen on her from time to time, and he had always found that Yan Tian had been absent-minded since he sat down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He has also been wondering in his heart, has something happened in the past few days, so it makes her unhappy?
At this moment, Lu Zichen looked at her, rolled his eyes, and thought of a solution.
Yan Tian didn't scribble, but he kept his head down, listening to Lu Zichen's words, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he simply didn't hear a word.
In the conference room of Nuo University, Lu Zichen, who was originally in a meeting, stopped his voice, and a deep voice suddenly sounded in Yan Tian's ears: "Yanyan." β
Hearing someone call her, Yan Qian subconsciously raised her head and said "um" softly.
At this moment, because of this sound, the entire conference room looked at her.
Lu Zichen sat at the front of the meeting and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Director Yan, you can't be distracted in the meeting, and then you have to concentrate on it, which is related to your planning department." β
Hearing this, Yan Tian raised his head and looked at him, and after a while, he nodded: "Yes, Mr. Lu, I know." β
Then Lu Zichen didn't say anything more, retracted his gaze, and continued the meeting.
The meeting lasted an hour and a half, and then it was dissolved.
When he heard Lu Zichen say that the meeting was dismissed, Yan Tian looked down at his blank meeting notes, was stunned for a while, and then closed the notebook casually, stood up with the crowd, moved away from the chairs, and the meeting personnel left the conference room one after another.
Originally, Yan Tian was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, so she involuntarily turned back to look at Lu Zichen's figure.
He was standing at the conference table, facing her sideways, talking to the director of the business department.
So, she stood where she was, and did not go out, but she did not walk over.
It was Lu Zichen's assistant who saw her first, and said a word in Lu Zichen's ear, Lu Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at her.
The two of them just looked at each other, but he just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, and continued to talk to the director of the business department.
Seeing this, Yan Tian took the notebook and poured it back, pulled out a chair casually, and she sat there quietly, looking at them.
Lu Zichen heard the voice, glanced at her and moved away.
Because the people of the Huo family knew about Yan Tian and Lu Zichen being together, the director of the business department saw this scene and left without saying a few words.
Seeing that the directors of the business department were gone, Lu Zichen's assistant said to him: "Mr. Lu, I'm waiting for you outside." β
When the assistant went out, he closed the door of the conference room.
At this moment, there are only two people in the conference room of Nuoda, Yan Tian and Lu Zichen.
Lu Zichen closed the documents on the table and walked over with them in his hand, and put them on the table beside him, and then raised his eyes to look at Yan Tian: "Director Yan is waiting for me here, what is the matter with me?"
The stiff tone, a completely businesslike attitude, like a leader.
Looking at this Lu Zichen, Yan Tian actually didn't want to be alone with him at all, especially when others knew about it, but now she had to come to him.
Hearing his tone, she felt uncomfortable at all, and at this moment she panicked.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Qian looked at him and said, "I...... I wanted to ask you something. β
Hearing this, Lu Zichen was slightly surprised: "Ask me something?"
Hearing Lu Zichen's tone was so blunt, the words came to her lips, and she didn't want to ask again, but for the sake of Xia Huan, a friend, she still asked it in one go.
"I just wanted to ask you, Qiao Mengyi is back, do you know? Have you seen her?"
Hearing this, as soon as Yan Tian finished asking, Lu Zichen knew her purpose, he smiled, leaned back on the desk, and clasped his arms with both hands: "I thought you were waiting for me and asking me something, it turned out to help Xia Huan inquire about Qiao Mengyi." β
"Otherwise, what do you think I'm asking?" Yan Tian asked rhetorically, looking at him.
"I thought you were just coming to me and wanting to talk to me. β
"I'm really here for you. Yan said, "But I don't have anything to say to you, instead, I want to ask Qiao Mengyi about her situation." β
Lu Zichen looked at her and asked, "Is this the only thing you are looking for me?"
"That's right. β
Hearing this, Lu Zichen looked at her and shook his head, "Yan Tian, look at your current appearance, and your attitude, since you came to ask me, it means that you are asking me, but what about your attitude?"
"Lu Zichen, you" Yan Tian suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Lu Zichen looked at her with a playful expression: "Since you are here to ask Qiao Mengyi about it, then you stand up and lean over a little, after all, few people know about this matter, you get closer, I will tell you in a whisper." β
"If there are many people who know, then I didn't come to ask you if I was full. Yan said this, but he still resigned himself to standing up and walking in front of Lu Zichen.
Lu Zichen looked at her and smiled, pulled the chair to the side to his side, and then pulled it with his hand, and sat down on the soft leather chair in front of him defenselessly.
He propped his hands on the armrests, firmly imprisoning her in the space he had created: "Yanyan, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to come to me since we broke up, do you know?"
Yan Tian looked at him, slowly looked away, looked at the window behind him, but didn't dare to look into his eyes. Every time I look at it, I will dream when I go home at night, and the dream is the picture of him holding Mu Jiaqi's affection, and that picture stings her eyes.
Lu Zichen looked at her eyes without blinking, and every time he looked at it, he would lose sleep all night.
"Yanyan, although you came to me today for someone else, but you can come to me, it already makes me very happy and surprised, really. β
Yan Tian glanced away from him, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, if you have something to say, what are you doing now?" If someone accidentally sees it, the rumors will spread like this, and it will not be good if it reaches my sister and hears it, if you misunderstand you because of this, then you will lose a lot." β
The words "brother-in-law" reached Lu Zichen's ears, which was harsh and disturbing.
He removed his hands and straightened up: "What's wrong with this, Jiaqi has always believed in me, and there will never be a misunderstanding between us." β
"Lu Zichen, you like to talk about it or not, don't talk about pulling it down. Yan Tian couldn't help but look up at him, "If you don't say it now, I don't know it now, although there are not many people who know about it, but it doesn't necessarily mean that no one knows except you." β
Lu Zichen looked at Yan Tian and said, "Yan Yan, you will never know how well I know you, I believe you will come to me today, which means that only here will you know what you want to know, if you also know from others, you will not come to me at all." β
Yan Tian frowned and wanted to stand up.
Lu Zichen held her down: "You sit down first, I'll say." β
Seeing that his eyes were flickering slightly, Yan Tian instantly knew what his idea was, and she said: "Okay, Lu Zichen, let's not go around in circles, I know that you are the same person as Huo Qingnan, and you will not do loss-making business at any time, so I will exchange conditions with you, and you tell me what I want to know, then I will also promise you one thing." β
"Refreshing. β
Yan tilted his head: "Don't beat around the bush, just say what your conditions are." β
Lu Zichen glanced at her lightly.
Yan Tian didn't know the bottom of his heart now, but he still stubbornly raised his head to meet his gaze.
Lu Zichen didn't say it directly, but changed the topic with a smile: "Yanyan, you really spare no effort for Xia Huan." As he spoke, his hand slowly reached over and straightened her slightly messy hair.
Yan Tian's body stiffened a little.
Just as Lu Zichen withdrew her hand, she smiled and said, "Of course, because Xia Huan is my best friend." It's my duty to do such a little thing for her. And I don't want to see her hurt. Originally, it was a mistake for her to marry Huo Qingnan, but now that Qiao Mengyi is back, she will only be more sad. β
"Why is Xia Huan sad? What does it matter to her when Qiao Mengyi comes back?"
"She ......," she was about to say, but then she said it back, "You don't care about this. β
Lu Zichen supported his chin with one hand: "In my opinion, shouldn't the person who should be anxious and have trouble sleeping, shouldn't it be Huo Qingnan? Why do you think it's Xia Huan? Why is she sad? Could it be that Xia Huan is also in love with Huo Qingnan?"
Yan Tian's eyes widened suddenly: "What do you mean...... No, Lu Zichen, you make it clear, what is "also"?
She muttered, and suddenly looked up at Lu Zichen: "Do you mean that Huo Qingnan said to Xia Huan that Huo Qingnan also likes Xia Huan?"
Lu Zichen didn't nod or shake his head, didn't give Yan Tian an answer, just looked at her quietly.
Yan Qian lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Although I also feel like this, but I don't dare to be sure, and I have only knocked Huo Qingnan on the side, but he seems to be very indifferent and unwilling to say more, and Qiao Mengyi has come back recently, I think his mind will be on Qiao Mengyi, after all, Qiao Mengyi is to him"
Lu Zichen interrupted his words and said, "I said that you and Huo Qingnan have known each other for so long, don't you know who he is? The more he cares, the more he behaves indifferently, because he has too many enemies, and he can't show that he cares about anything, otherwise he will attract the kind of thing Huo Siyao did last time." β
Lu Zichen's words made Yan Tian stunned: "But Qiao Mengyi is ...... Came back......"
Hearing this, Lu Zichen smiled and turned to face her: "This belongs, when you have a request for me, do you want to listen to my conditions first?"
Yan Qian looked at the familiar face in front of him and raised his chin: "Then I'll listen to what you say." β
Lu Zichen suddenly bent down, looked at Yan Tian, still with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Then my condition is that you sleep with me for a day, how about it?"
