Chapter 142: Don't Hide from Me
Pouting awkwardly, Qiao Ruoqing said, "But you didn't say you had ......"
"That person is not Wu Shan." Huo Jingyuan interrupted her.
Qiao Ruoqing's hand on her lap squeezed together hard.
There really is that person, not Wu Shan, who will it be?
Is it his friend? Client? Or is it an employee in his company?
But if you think about it carefully, she doesn't know much of his friends, although she has been to the Huo family a few times, but in addition to Cheng Han and Lin Lang, she only knows the two female secretaries of the secretariat.
But the two female secretaries, one in his thirties, had two children, and the other also had a boyfriend, and she had seen the girl's boyfriend pick her up from work.
Who could that be?
She looked very distressed, her eyelashes drooped, and even her eyebrows were furrowed together.
It's really cute.
Huo Jingyuan's eyebrows were unconsciously dyed with a little tenderness, "Do you want to know who that person is?" ”
"I don't want to know." Qiao Ruoqing muttered quietly, with a look of disdain, "What does it have to do with me?" ”
Having said that, her hand tightened.
Huo Jingyuan has never been in love, but he knows that there is a saying called duplicity.
Pushing the royal blue jewelry box forward, Huo Jingyuan's voice was slightly hoarse: "Open it, and I'll tell you who that person is." ”
Qiao Ruoqing raised her head abruptly and looked at Huo Jingyuan.
She wanted to know who that person was, and she didn't want to know, but even she couldn't tell why.
Thinking about it carefully, that day in the private room, he said that he had someone he liked, and she had mixed feelings at the time.
It's obviously not related to me, but I don't know why, I just feel uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Huo Jingyuan still had a slight smile on his face.
She looked down and landed on the jewelry box in front of her.
Open it, open it and you'll know...... Anyway, no matter who that person is, it has nothing to do with her, she should just be curious, so she just wants to know.
She gritted her teeth, took the box in her hand, and opened it with a slight force with her right thumb.
Inside was a necklace, very thin, and the pendant was in the shape of a key.
The internal test of the lid is inlaid with a mirror.
Qiao Ruoqing's face was clearly reflected in the mirror, and at this time she realized that her lips had become a little white, and the lipstick that she had made up before getting off work could not be seen at all now.
and her slender long eyelashes, which also seemed to tremble slightly.
How so?
She thought it was incredible.
At this time, a man's low and hoarse voice floated into his ears: "You saw her." ”
Qiao Ruoqing's hand shook, and the jewelry box fell on her lap, but she didn't bother to pick it up at all, she just raised her head and looked at Huo Jingyuan, who was only separated by a dining table.
The man's dark eyes were looking at her, blatantly staring at her.
Qiao Ruoqing bit her lip, she wanted to speak, but she couldn't seem to say a word.
There seemed to be an animal jumping around in the chest, and it couldn't settle down.
Huo Jingyuan knew that if he told her, she would react like this.
With a shallow smile at the girl, he repeated what he had just said: "You see her." ”
Qiao Ruoqing's fingertips trembled.
So, she just heard it right? Is the person Huo Jingyuan said really her?
But why? Didn't Huo Jingyuan hate her very much? How could it be......
"You ......" Qiao Ruoqing put her hand on the dining table, found that her fingertips were still trembling, and simply put it on her lap again, closed the lid by the way, and didn't dare to look at the man in front of her, and asked in a low voice: "Why?" How could you ......"
"I don't know." Huo Jingyuan replied very calmly, "In short, it's you, the person I talked about in the private room that day is you." ”
Qiao Ruoqing remembered that when she sent him back that night, he also asked her if she had heard what he said in the private room.
She thought that person was Wu Shan at the time, so she unconsciously denied it, she was avoiding that topic.
As for the reason, even she herself can't tell.
The jewelry box on her leg was covered by her shadow, and the color was much darker, but the shape was beautiful.
And that necklace, which is also beautiful.
It turns out that the person he likes is actually her? She always thought that person was Wu Shan.
What a big joke.
But thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, Huo Jingyuan would not like her, obviously he hated her so much before, even if he saved her in the car accident, it was only because of Tang Lan's instructions.
"No......" she muttered, "No, the person you like......"
Before she could accept the sudden news, the waiter came over to serve the food, all of which she ordered.
The space between the two is not wide, and the fragrance of dishes wafts around, but Qiao Ruoqing, who was still hungry just now, has no appetite at all.
She stood up holding on to the table, "I'll go back first......"
Huo Jingyuan hurriedly stood up, took a big step in front of her, and grabbed her wrist, "Don't hide from me." 202 e-books
Qiao Ruoqing wanted to break away, but Huo Jingyuan used too much force, and she couldn't struggle at all, so she had to lower her eyes and purse her lips not to look at him.
Huo Jingyuan's brows furrowed, and he unconsciously increased the force in his hand, "After you go back, do you want to hide from me again like the previous few times?" Don't even care about Hua Tian anymore? ”
"No......" Qiao Ruoqing argued, her voice like a little beast struggling to survive stuck in a crack in the stone, "Brother Huo, I'...... I didn't hide from you......"
Huo Jingyuan didn't care, put his hand on her shoulder, and gently pressed her back into the chair, avoiding the topic, "Aren't you hungry?" Eat first. ”
Qiao Ruoqing sat down, but she didn't move, and she didn't even take the chopsticks.
Huo Jingyuan sighed helplessly, "Don't talk about this, eat first, and I'll send you back after eating." ”
While speaking, he filled Qiao Ruoqing with a bowl of soup and put it in front of him.
She likes to drink soup.
Qiao Ruoqing really drank it, but her movements were a little stiff, and after a meal, she didn't say much, and she didn't even say a few words.
On the way back, Qiao Ruoqing sat in the passenger seat and kept turning her head to look at the night scene outside the window.
Before you know it, it's winter, and there are no pedestrians on the street, so it's quiet.
I looked at my watch, and it was almost ten o'clock.
It's so late......
She was still holding the royal blue jewelry box in her hand, originally she didn't want to accept this necklace, but Huo Jingyuan insisted on letting her hold it.
Turning his head to look, the side face of the man next to him was smooth, and the lines were cold and hard.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Huo Jingyuan also looked over here.
The eyes of the two were so intertwined without warning, Qiao Ruoqing seemed to be a child who had been caught deserting in class, and quickly took her eyes back.
Huo Jingyuan hooked his lips with satisfaction and asked her, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"I ......" her voice was small, almost inaudible, "I don't know what to say......
"It's okay." Huo Jingyuan replied very simply.
Qiao Ruoqing lowered her head, the royal blue box in her hand was hidden in the shadows, and only one outline could be seen clearly.
Pursing the corners of her lips, she finally mustered up her courage: "Brother Huo, I just want revenge now...... Some things ......"
Before she finished speaking, Huo Jingyuan spoke up: "I know, I didn't plan to confess now, and I didn't want to put pressure on you." ”
Qiao Ruoqing was shocked, "Then why are you telling me now?" ”
Doing things inconsistently, this is not like Huo Jingyuan's style, she thought.
Huo Jingyuan smiled, her tone was soft, like a feather floating on the surface of a lake, causing shallow ripples in her heart, beautiful and unassuming: "Because you always have to doubt my relationship with other women." ”
When he said this, Qiao Ruoqing noticed that when he was in the restaurant just now, it seemed that Huo Jingyuan had told him about Wu Shan.
At that time, she was still thinking, why did this person make a special statement? It had nothing to do with her.
Now it seems that he has already thought about it.
But she still felt a little unacceptable.
Huo Jingyuan, a genius in the business world, the heir of the Huo family, and a young and promising entrepreneur, how could he fall in love with such a fledgling little girl as her?
She hasn't even solved Qiao's affairs yet, Chen Yali is still making trouble, and she can't solve Qiao Ruolan's provocation well.
With a person like her, what is there to Huo Jingyuan like?
Or is it that Huo Jingyuan was just joking with him? A man like him should be surrounded by a lot of women, right? It's like Wu Shan.
No matter how she thought about it, she thought it was a bit supernatural.
But fortunately, Qiao's family arrived soon.
As long as she is separated from Huo Jingyuan, she will be able to think about it carefully, and she will be able to sort it out quickly.
However, when the car stopped at the door of Qiao's house and she wanted to open the door, Huo Jingyuan took the first step to lock the door.
Qiao Ruoqing's hand that had just stretched out immediately retracted, and she frowned and looked at the man beside her, "Brother Huo, what are you doing?" ”
Huo Jingyuan had no expression on his face, so she couldn't guess what he was planning now.
But in my heart, I feel inexplicably weak and uncomfortable.
Huo Jingyuan was also looking at her, and in the dim light, he could clearly see the tension in her eyes.
It was as if he was afraid that he would eat her.
What is there to be afraid of? He wouldn't do anything to her.
However, Huo Jingyuan didn't say it in the end.
He looked at her, with something akin to pleading in his eyes, and spoke in a low tone, different from when he usually talked about work and joked, "Don't avoid me." ”
Qiao Ruoqing was stunned.
She thought that he locked the car door to do something strange to her, but she didn't expect that he just wanted to say this?
didn't get Qiao Ruoqing's answer, Huo Jingyuan's eyes darkened, "I know you just want revenge now, I can wait, but don't avoid me like the previous times, I'm flustered." ”
He looked at her, the distance between the two was very close, and Qiao Ruoqing could clearly see the subtle expression on his face.
His usually calm eyes seemed to shake slightly, as if he was afraid of something.
Qiao Ruoqing suspected that she had seen it wrong.
That's Huo Jingyuan, what would Huo Jingyuan be afraid of?
