"Don't worry, I'll wait. I'll wait for the wind to come, and for you to come."
After speaking, a gust of wind swept by. Su Qi shivered, pulling her jacket tighter. "Go back quickly!"
She turned and went back inside. After pouring herself a cup of hot water, she held it in her hands and stood by the window, seeing Xu Linchuan still standing in the same spot.
She didn't know what Xu Linchuan was thinking. After a long while, he finally got into his car and left. kan shu wu. xi a
It only took Xu Linchuan about five or six minutes to drive away when Su Qi saw Huo Tingyun's car. Her heart chilled. It was over. Although she knew Huo Tingyun would be angry, she hadn't expected him to be so fast. Didn't he have a business engagement? Why did he come back so soon?
She put down the cup in her hand, not even bothering with her slippers, and ran upstairs barefoot.
Like a child who knew they had made a mistake, she ran into the room, locked the door from the inside, and panted heavily. Her heart pounded erratically in her chest, its rhythm loud and rapid. After a while, she finally calmed down. Su Qi pricked up her ears and heard footsteps stopping outside her door.
The man raised his hand and tried the doorknob. As expected, Su Qi had locked it from the inside.
He was instantly both amused and annoyed. It seemed this foolish woman knew what she was doing!
It was one thing to go to the hospital and be affectionate with her non-blood-related brother, but she had also secretly had dinner with Xu Linchuan and even called herself Xu Linchuan's girlfriend?
Fine! Truly fine!
Huo Tingyun was so angry he laughed. A cold smile flickered across his stern and defiant face. He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the door. "Little white rabbit, be good, open the door." Pfft...
Su Qi almost burst out laughing. Was this man coaxing a child?
She wouldn't open the door!
He was clearly a big bad wolf.
"Daddy's home, open the door."
Whose daddy are you!
Su Qi glared fiercely at the man outside the door through the barrier of the door. This man was utterly shameless.
"Be good and open the door, or else I will..."
Su Qi didn't believe him. She had locked it. Could the man still break down the door? She stood up from the floor. Her stomach felt a little heavy. She sat on the edge of the bed, preparing to change into something to sleep in. Suddenly, she heard a click. Su Qi sprang to her feet. Before she could react, the man was already standing before her.
"Huo Tingyun, you..."
How did this man get in?!
Su Qi's face turned pale. She tried to bolt, but her shoulder was grabbed by the man, and she was pushed onto the bed.
Colliding with the soft mattress, Su Qi felt a slight pain and bounced up a little. The man's gaze slid down her small face, and he chuckled softly, "So bouncy."
"You..." She had never met anyone so shameless!
Su Qi's face instantly flushed crimson. What was this man up to? He had given her the cold shoulder yesterday, and today he had suddenly changed his mind!
"Was the hospital fun? Was the food good?"
Her chin was held by the man, causing a slight pain.
Su Qi stubbornly opened her beautiful eyes. "It's none of your business..."
The man tightened his grip, and Su Qi instantly cried out in pain.
"Not fun, not good."
The wise yield to circumstances. She knew this man's personality too well. Confronting him would only hurt herself, so she endured it.
"Mm, will you go again next time? Will you eat it again?"
"No, I won't go, and I won't eat it."
Su Qi replied obediently, like a good child.
Receiving the satisfactory answer, the man kissed her delicate nose. "So good, little white rabbit, be good..."
The man's naturally deep and husky voice was like a bass speaker, carrying a hint of teasing and playfulness, a touch of rogue charm and seduction that captivated without effort.
An ordinary person would have gone weak in the knees.
"You..." Su Qi's already rosy cheeks instantly turned a shade that could drip blood. "You're shameless! You're pushing your luck!"
When did this man become so wicked?
Truly...
A tsundere!
Su Qi's eyes darted around. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table, turned on the camera, and with a click, took a photo of their intimate moment. Then, while the man was momentarily distracted, she quickly pushed him away and stood on the other side of the bed.
"Help me with one thing, or else these photos of us will be released to the media! You'll be finished then!"
She waved her phone, believing she had caught the man's weakness, and threatened him triumphantly.
Little did he know, how could he still be so smug now?
The man's eyes deepened slightly, his eyebrows raised. He said in a low voice, "Speak."
"I want the lease contract for the office building opposite Shengshi, the 27th floor."
Lin Te was right. As long as Huo Tingyun wanted to, he could satisfy any of her demands, even if it were a planet in the sky. This man definitely had the ability. She didn't want to see Brother Su Yan disappointed, nor did she want Xu Linyun's hopes dashed. She wanted the lease contract for the office building! wap.kanshuwu.net
Su Qi's nose began to sweat, a hint of nervousness in her expression as she stared at the man before her.
She wasn't sure if she could threaten this man.
In the past, even saying an extra word to Huo Tingyun felt like committing a grave offense.
Even more so now, when she was threatening him.
She knew very well that Huo Tingyun hated threats the most, but she couldn't bring herself to act cute towards a man who had crippled Su Yan!
"Mm, no problem. Put down your phone and go wash up and lie down."
Su Qi had prepared herself mentally, expecting the man to refuse. However, she hadn't expected his next words to be like this. She was stunned, unable to believe what she had heard. "What?"
"Go take a bath and get a good night's sleep."
"Oh."
Her mind felt a little hazy. She went into the bathroom, showered, and came out with her hair slightly damp. She let her hair down and emerged wearing only a bathrobe.
When she came out of the bathroom, the man was gone. Su Qi was indeed quite tired. Perhaps it was the drowsiness that came with the second trimester of pregnancy. She lay on the bed, her mind a jumble of thoughts. Too many things had happened recently, and she hadn't had time to sort them out. After a while, sleepiness overtook her, and she closed her eyes.
Half-asleep, she vaguely felt the man embrace her, pulling her into a warm embrace.
Su Qi woke up instantly. She looked up at the man before her, her small hands pushing against his firm chest.
"Huo Tingyun, what are we?"
What were they to each other?
The whole world thought they were already divorced.
But Huo Tingyun had blocked the divorce proceedings, preventing them from being finalized.
This meant that legally, they were still husband and wife.
But what exactly were they like this?
The man remained silent. His hand fell onto her already noticeably rounded belly, his palm covering it with a gentle and careful touch.
"Is it for the child? But Xu Linyun is also pregnant. You don't love me at all. There's no need to tie me to your side. I am free, and you are free. You can marry Xu Linyun and pursue the love that belongs to you."
