The two of them were so close that their lips could touch each other's lips.
The light and shadow outside fell on the faces of the two of them, and Qi Qi smelled the smell of red wine on the tip of his nose. In that short moment, the tips of their noses brushed lightly, breathing each other's breath. The atmosphere in the car was extremely quiet.
But Huo Shaoting didn't come any closer and just looked at her quietly.
Under his gaze, Qiqi's face remained extremely quiet, and her pale pink lips were slightly pursed.
Ambiguity was still flowing between the two of them. Huo Shaoting's hand that was resting on her cheek began to slide down her cheek. The warmth on his fingers made her tremble. Her brows furrowed slightly, but her lips were still pursed. She looked down on his hand.
In this confined space, some things seemed to be more silent than loud.
Huo Shaoting's voice became lower and lower: "Do you remember what I said today?"
Qiqi's face was in his hand, and she didn't say anything out loud. Her face was especially quiet in his hand.
Huo Shaoting finally slowly withdrew his hand from her face. This ambiguous time was very short and passed in an instant. The two of them returned to normal again, because at this moment, the driver also got in the car.
The two of them were still sitting there quietly, and the driver asked: "Mr. Huo, are you going back to Tan Palace now?"
Huo Shaoting gave a faint hum and answered the driver.
Then their car finally left the hotel.
As the car was driving on the road, Qiqi finally asked: "Brother Shao Ting, are the rumors about the school true?"
Huo Shaoting opened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "What rumors."
"They said this donation was to accumulate blessings for my sister."
Qiqi wanted to know the situation and whether her sister's body could no longer bear the medical treatment.
When Huo Shaoting heard her words, he did not deny anything. Instead, he said with a faint look of tiredness between his eyebrows, "Yeah."
After Qiqi heard what he said, she felt unspeakable guilt and sadness. She asked in a low voice: "Where is the test tube? If it really doesn't work, I can do it."
When Huo Shaoting heard her say the word test tube, he opened his eyes and glanced at her, and Qiqi's eyes happened to collide with his.
"In vitro fertilization requires a marriage certificate."
He replied to her quietly.
When Qiqi heard what he said, the look on her face couldn't change at all.
"Then...does that mean there's no other way?"
Her voice was a little sad and trembling.
Huo Shaoting closed his eyes again: "We are already adjusting the bone marrow banks everywhere to see if there will be suitable bone marrow in the first half of this year."
When Qiqi heard this, she seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and she sat there in silence.
She sat there with her head lowered, thinking quietly. It turned out that medical methods were of no use anymore. It turned out that she had really reached the end of her rope and began to place her hopes on superstition.
Qiqi didn't know how she felt when she arrived at Tan Palace, and Huo Shaoting was speechless the whole time in the car.
After arriving at Tan Palace, they were greeted by a servant. Seeing that it was rare for the two of them to come back together today, the servant immediately walked over and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, Miss Qiqi, you came back together tonight."
Qiqi was wearing a skirt today and stood behind Huo Shaoting, looking obedient. She did not answer Huo Shaoting's words. bijinglou
On the contrary, Huo Shaoting said: "She came back together."
After Huo Shaoting finished speaking, he took off his coat, and the servant immediately went to pick it up.
The servant looked at the two of them standing in the entrance hall. Their outfits made the servant inexplicably feel like a parent picking up a child to go home. Although the age difference between the two was not bad, one was young and the other was calm.
This conflict of contradictions makes people unable to take their eyes away.
The two changed their shoes, and Huo Shaoting said to the servant, "Go and rest."
After hearing this, the servant responded and immediately asked: "Do you still want to cook something?"
It was already past ten o'clock, and the servant was afraid that the two of them would be hungry.
Huo Shaoting was not in the habit of eating late night snacks and looked at Qiqi again.
When Qiqi heard the servant's question, she immediately shook her head and said, "No, I'm very full tonight."
After the servant heard what she said, he stopped asking. The moment he hung Huo Shaoting's coat on the hanger at the door, he went back to the servant's room to rest.
There were only two people left in the huge hall. Qiqi was still behind Huo Shaoting, wondering whether she should go upstairs directly, but seeing that he was still in the living room and seemed to be going to the bar to pour water, she went straight to the morning, which seemed a little bit... Weird and impolite.
She thought for a few seconds and then said, "Brother Shao Ting, I'll go up first."
As soon as she said these words, Huo Shaoting, who was standing at the bar, looked at her with a water glass: "You haven't eaten anything at night. There is milk here, drink some."
As soon as his words came out, Qiqi felt her stomach growl. She felt a little speechless. She didn't expect that her stomach would respond to the situation so well.
Qiqi thought for a few seconds. In order to avoid the discomfort of being hungry in the middle of the night, she decided that it would be better to drink some. It seemed more natural to go up after drinking the milk.
So she walked over and poured a glass of warm milk at the bar.
Huo Shaoting, who was sitting on the bar drinking water, said to her again: "There are some cookies in the kitchen cabinet."
Just drinking milk seemed to make her stomach feel a little empty. Qiqi followed his instructions and went to get biscuits. In this quiet night, she sat in front of him drinking milk and eating biscuits, and Huo Shaoting also drank the glass of water. After a long time, after drinking the glass of water in her hand, Qiqi basically finished all the milk and biscuits, filling her stomach.
She stood next to him and said, "I'm full, Brother Shao Ting, so I'll go upstairs first."
But when Qiqi turned around, Huo Shaoting grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Qiqi immediately looked at him. Huo Shaoting looked down at her and whispered. : "Where to go?"
Qiqi saw that his brows were frowning slightly, and his mood was not very peaceful in such a quiet night. She stammered: "Go back to...your room."
After Huo Shaoting heard what she said, he didn't say anything. He didn't let go of her wrist. He just led her forward slowly. Qiqi's whole person was a little slow. She I can only let him pull me.
After the two of them went upstairs and passed the long corridor, Huo Shaoting did not let her go back to the guest room, but took her to his master bedroom. Qiqi was pulled behind him, keeping her face raised. Look at his face.
After Huo Shaoting brought her into his room, as soon as he closed the door, he held her in his arms and kissed her.
