Chapter 143: Are You Dating?
"I didn't hide from you...... she avoided his indescribable gaze and looked down at the jewelry box in her hand, "I just work too much and don't mean anything else." ”
"Hmm." Huo Jingyuan nodded, "I understand, I won't cause you any trouble, and I won't have any strange behavior, when you think it's okay, I'll chase you again." ”
These words made Qiao Ruoqing doubt her hearing for the umpteenth time tonight.
I've confessed everything, and I'll wait for her to agree before chasing after her?
But also, there are still many things she doesn't understand now, if Huo Jingyuan appears in front of her all day, she is afraid that her brain will be messed up.
Thinking so, Qiao Ruoqing nodded.
Finally waiting for Qiao Ruoqing's answer, Huo Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened the car door lock.
He watched Qiao Ruoqing get out of the car, and then watched Qiao Ruoqing enter the door, and then drove back to his apartment.
These days in the imperial capital, he was really busy, took a bath, and thought that he would soon fall asleep while lying on the bed, but after staring at the ceiling for a while, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He also tried to close his eyes, but as soon as his eyelids were closed, he would see Qiao Ruoqing.
The way she was lying on the couch when she opened the video, the way she cried with him wrapped in a bath towel, the way she looked at a loss in the restaurant, and the way she reacted when she heard him say he had someone she liked at the bar......
No matter how you look at it, she has him in her heart.
He used to think that Qiao Ruoqing didn't have any sense of wolf prevention, but if he thought about it carefully, she was such a big person, and she was not the kind of stupid Bai Tian who didn't understand anything, so she didn't have a sense of protection?
So, it should only be in front of him, right?
As this thought popped out of his head, Huo Jingyuan's mood relaxed a lot.
……
Qiao Ruoqing lay on the bed, holding her one-person-tall teddy bear and turning it over and over for more than half an hour, but she couldn't sleep.
Huo Jingyuan actually confessed to her?
But why? Why did he like her?
She couldn't figure it out.
Or was he just joking with her?
This night, Qiao Ruoqing hardly slept much, and when she got up the next morning, she even wondered if everything last night would be her own dream.
I sat down at the dresser and looked at it, and my eyes were a little swollen.
She took an ice cube and put it on it, and finally the swelling went down, and she was about to change her clothes, when Uncle Wang knocked on the door outside: "Miss, Huo Shao is here." ”
The clothes that Qiao Ruoqing had just held in her hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Winter clothes are a bit heavy, and they make a muffled sound when they fall to the floor.
What's going on? Didn't you say it wouldn't bother her? Why did you come so early?
"I see." She answered, hurriedly changed her clothes, and prepared to open the door and go downstairs.
As soon as my hand was on the doorknob, I felt that something was wrong.
If she went down in such a hurry, would it make Huo Jingyuan have the illusion that she couldn't wait to see him?
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible, so she retreated into the room and examined it carefully in the mirror.
Well, there is nothing wrong with the clothes, they are nice and decent.
The makeup is no problem, just right, not thick, and it looks good.
It's just that the hair is a little messy.
She combed her hair, smeared essential oils, and took care of it carefully, and when she was sure that it was okay, she went downstairs.
Huo Jingyuan sat on the sofa and read the newspaper with his legs crossed, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.
Qiao Ruoqing went downstairs and came to Huo Jingyuan, "Why are you here?" ”
Huo Jingyuan folded the newspaper and put it aside, stood up from the sofa, took out the car key from his pocket and handed it to her, "Come and return the car." ”
As if to clarify something, without waiting for Qiao Ruoqing to speak, he immediately said: "If I said that I won't cause you trouble, I will definitely not, and I will leave immediately." ”
Qiao Ruoqing took the car keys a little stiffly.
In other words, everything last night was real, and it wasn't a dream at all.
Seeing Qiao Ruoqing like this, Huo Jingyuan was a little disappointed.
Although he took the initiative to say that he wanted to leave, could Qiao Ruoqing symbolically keep him?
But she just stood there staring at the car keys in her hand, without even half a superfluous sentence, and didn't give a single expression.
At this time, Uncle Wang walked over from the dining room, "Miss, breakfast is ready." ”
Then he looked at Huo Jingyuan again, "Huo Shao, let's go after breakfast." ”
Huo Jingyuan's footsteps stopped, and his eyes fell on Qiao Ruoqing's body.
When Qiao Ruoqing turned her head, she happened to meet his gaze.
Seeing Huo Jingyuan's eyes, Qiao Ruoqing was slightly stunned.
There seemed to be a certain emotion in those dark eyes, and that emotion she had seen when she was in the car last night.
By the way, at that time he said, let her not hide from him. fifth
At that time, his eyes were almost exactly the same as they are now.
"Miss?" Uncle Wang took the car key from her hand, put it on the coffee table, and smiled, "Miss, Huo Shao must not have eaten breakfast at this time." ”
Uncle Wang's words were very vague, but Qiao Ruoqing understood what he meant.
Huo Jingyuan sent her back last night, and she came back early this morning to return the car, if she didn't even leave breakfast for others, it would be too ungraceful.
Pursing the corners of her lips, Qiao Ruoqing said, "Yes, Brother Huo, stay and have breakfast." ”
"Hmm." Huo Jingyuan responded, extremely cold.
But the hands that were clenched into fists in their pockets were completely released at this moment.
Sure enough, he was still kept.
Although Qiao Ruoqing is the only one in the family, the breakfast is rich and exquisite, in addition to egg and milk sandwiches, there are also millet porridge and soy milk fritters xiaolongbao.
Sitting at the dining table, Huo Jingyuan twisted his eyebrows, "You usually eat so much alone?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing, who was drinking millet porridge, raised her head and glanced at him, a little dissatisfied.
Uncle Wang, who was standing next to him, bowed lightly and smiled like a birthday grandfather, "Huo Shao, our eldest lady ate very little, and she used to make very little, and the servants ate very casually, and then the eldest lady asked her to cook a little more, and all the food that could not be eaten was eaten by the maids at home." ”
"I see." Huo Jingyuan smiled and looked at Qiao Ruoqing again.
It's just that this time Qiao Ruoqing didn't look at him.
I don't know if it's my own delusion, Qiao Ruoqing always felt that Huo Jingyuan's eyes were weird, causing her to even lose her appetite a lot this morning.
Huo Jingyuan was different, he seemed to be in a good mood and had a good appetite, although Qiao Ruoqing didn't talk to him much.
After breakfast, when she arrived outside the villa, Qiao Ruoqing asked, "Are you taking my car to the company?" Or ......"
She didn't finish the rest of the conversation.
Huo Jingyuan understood what she meant, thought for a moment, and replied, "I was just going to Huatian for a meeting. If you don't mind, let's go together, and I'll let Cheng Han go to Huatian to rendezvous. ”
Qiao Ruoqing pursed her lips and threw the car keys in her hand to him, "What do I have to mind?" Just drop by. ”
Looking at the car keys in his hand, Huo Jingyuan couldn't help but smile.
Is this what it means to make him a driver?
It's really smooth.
Along the way, neither of them talked much.
Qiao Ruoqing didn't sleep well at night, so she was making up for sleep almost the whole time, but Huo Jingyuan was in good spirits.
When the two arrived in Huatian, it was work time, and a large number of people outside the office building were enthusiastically squeezing inside.
Qiao Ruoqing is different from Huo Jingyuan, she is not so extravagant, so Huatian does not have a special elevator for the president like Huo's, and the two can only squeeze the public elevator with the staff.
But fortunately, Qiao Ruoqing is quite good at this, and she doesn't have any idol baggage, so she quickly squeezed in, and Huo Jingyuan followed behind her, and she also squeezed smoothly.
Qiao Ruoqing's office is on the top floor, so the time is the longest.
This area is all office buildings, and the surrounding housing is relatively expensive, so the employees generally live far away, and they squeeze the subway very early in the morning, and many people don't have time to eat breakfast, so they can only buy breakfast outside and take it to the company to eat.
So now many people in this elevator are holding all kinds of breakfast in their hands.
For example, soy milk fritters, tea leaves, eggs.
The elevator was crowded, and the little girl next to Qiao Ruoqing happened to be holding two fritters in her hands, the fritters had not been cut, two long, and more than half of them were exposed from the bag, yellow and clear, shining with oil, showing teeth and claws, very arrogant.
When I got to the seventh floor, the elevator door opened, and the man next to the little fritter girl wanted to go out, but he was squeezed behind, so he squeezed out rudely, and accidentally bumped into the little girl, the little girl let out a low cry, and the fritter in her hand rushed straight to Qiao Ruoqing.
Huo Jingyuan's eyes were quick, and he quickly stretched out his hand to protect Qiao Ruoqing into his arms, and quickly swapped the positions of the two.
Qiao Ruoqing was startled by his sudden movements, and looked at him with wide eyes.
Through the thick layers of clothes, Huo Jingyuan didn't feel anything, but the little girl in the back was frightened, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my fritters seem to have gotten on your clothes!" ”
"It's okay." Huo Jingyuan replied without looking back.
Qiao Ruoqing only understood at this time.
Just now, I thought that Huo Jingyuan was taking advantage of the crowd to play hooligans, but it turned out to be like this.
She was wrong for him......
Because of her weak heart, Qiao Ruoqing's face was a little hot.
The little girl's voice attracted the others to look at it as well, and someone had just gone out, so the space in the elevator was not so crowded now.
No one paid attention when he squeezed the elevator just now, but now when he saw it, he immediately recognized these two people, and shouted one after another: "Mr. Qiao? ”
"Mr. Huo? Do you go to work with Mr. Qiao? ”
"Mr. Qiao, are you always dating Huo?"
Qiao Ruoqing was stunned by these questions.
Looking down, Huo Jingyuan's hand was still on her waist, her face was even hotter, she quickly broke free, stood in the corner next to her, and hurriedly cleared up the relationship between the two, "It's nothing." ”
Knowing what she meant, Huo Jingyuan explained very cooperatively: "I just happened to come over for a meeting, and I met Mr. Qiao downstairs." ”
The little girl now understood, put the fritters behind her back, and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry, I almost got the fritters on you." ”
"It's okay, you didn't mean to." Qiao Ruoqing responded, and found that the people in the elevator were looking at herself and Huo Jingyuan with an ambiguous gaze, and simply stopped talking.
