The moment she opened her eyes, she hesitantly called out: "Brother Shao Ting."
After calling out this name, Qiqi thought of something. She suddenly became more awake. She got up from the bed and did not move with her hands on the side of the bed.
She accepted the fact that he appeared in the room in the middle of the night with a calm expression.
Silence, silence from each other, the shadows of the two people overlapped underground, in such a late night.
After a long while, Huo Shaoting only asked: "How was the prenatal checkup today?"
Qiqi replied: "The test results seem to be fine."
Huo Shaoting added: "If you have any questions, it would be better to tell me as soon as possible."
He seemed to care about the child only symbolically.
Qiqi said: "I will."
Both of them were somewhat alienated. Of course, Huo Shaoting's face was more alienated, while Qiqi's was just indifferent. She seemed to think that meeting him and his sister in the bar today was normal. But things.
Huo Shaoting said nothing to her reply.
Just as Qiqi was waiting, thinking that she would talk about her affair with Xu Yunhe again, suddenly she felt the shadow falling on her body begin to pull away from the floor in front of her. Qiqi stared at the shadow for a long time. , when she raised her head, the shadow disappeared from the doorway with a hint of cold wind.
Qiqi was a little surprised that he didn't say anything today. She was stunned, but after being stunned for a few seconds, she relaxed again and sank into the bed as if her whole body collapsed.
But on this bed, she didn't feel any sleepiness.
Huo Shaoting didn't make any announcement about what happened between her and Xu Yunhe at the bar the next day. At least the Huo family didn't know about it. Qiqi also pretended that nothing happened and that the day was just as usual.
But in the afternoon, Sheng Yunxia asked Qiqi: "There will be a grand charity dinner tonight. Mrs. Huo needs to attend. Has Shao Ting told you about this?"
Sheng Yunxia was sitting on the sofa drinking afternoon tea, while Qi Qiren had just come downstairs. After hearing what Sheng Yunxia said, she didn't react for a moment and looked at Sheng Yunxia.
Sheng Yunxia took a sip of tea and looked at Qiqi. Seeing her uninformed look, she asked her, "Don't you know?"
Qiqi said: "Brother Shao Ting, you didn't tell me."
When Sheng Yunxia heard this, she frowned, put down the cup in her hand, and said, "What did you do?"
Then, she added: "As Mrs. Huo, I am not idle every day. I have to participate in activities of all sizes. Now that I am older, it is no longer suitable for me to show up on these occasions. You need to know these activities well, do you still want me to remind you?"
Qiqi was listening to Sheng Yunxia's words and noticed that she was in a bad mood during this period. She didn't dare to offend her, so she was cautious and said, "Mom, I will go find out with Brother Shao Ting."
When Sheng Yunxia heard her words, her frown deepened, but she didn't say anything in the end. She reached out and picked up the cup on the table, and sat there to continue drinking tea.
Qiqi carefully left Sheng Yunxia, and then returned to her room.
Qiqi indeed didn't receive the news that she was going to attend the charity dinner today. After all, she didn't see Huo Shaoting when she woke up in the morning.
Just as she was sitting on the edge of the bed deep in thought, at three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. Qiqi had been feeling a little uncomfortable recently because she slept too much, so she spent most of her time sitting on the bed in a daze.
She heard the knock on the door, looked up towards the door, and said two words: "Come in."
The person who pushed in the door was Huo Shaoting's secretary.
"That's right. There will be a charity dinner tonight that you need to attend. Mr. Huo is a little busy today, so he forgot to inform you in advance."
Qiqi reacted after listening to the secretary's words, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.
The secretary asked again: "Is it inconvenient for you? Or do you have no time?"
Qiqi immediately replied: "Oh, no."
Qiqi didn't expect that she would really attend.
The secretary added: "Okay, Mr. Huo will not notify you again. Someone will send you tonight's dress later."
Qiqi still only cooperated and answered.
After the secretary heard her answer, she didn't stay in her room longer. After staying for a few minutes, she said, "Then I won't disturb you."
…
About half an hour after the secretary left, someone delivered the dress.
Because she is pregnant now and her belly is a little too pregnant, she cannot wear some close-fitting dresses, so most of them need to be specially made and specially selected.
Of course, Qiqi doesn't need to worry about anything, because the people around Huo Shaoting will solve these problems.
After she tried on the dress, it fit her perfectly, and her pregnancy was not visible at all. Those who sent the dress were relieved when they saw that the dress fit her perfectly.
Because Qiqi was pregnant now, those people didn't bother her particularly.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Shaoting's car returned to Huo's house. After his car parked at the gate of Huo's house, the secretary came upstairs to inform Qi Qi to come downstairs.
Qiqi had been waiting in the room for a long time. After receiving the secretary's instructions, she got up from the bed and followed the secretary downstairs.
After she got downstairs, Huo Shaoting was sitting in the car waiting. Qiqi stood at the door and saw the people sitting in the car. She moved twice and then walked towards the door of the car.
Huo Shaoting didn't look at her, his eyes always fell on the front of the car.
After Qiqi arrived at the car, the driver opened the door for her, and Qiqi got into the car. The two still didn't talk in the car. Huo Shaoting only said to the driver: "Let's go."
Huo Shaoting was also dressed more formally today, wearing a black dress-like suit, dark tie, and leather shoes.
The whole person looked dignified and calm.
Qiqi sat next to him, quiet and dull, with no expression on her face, just like a puppet on strings, cooperating with everything they did.
After that night, she had learned to calm herself down and would no longer allow herself to invest half of her emotions and feelings in the affairs of these people.
This is the restraint she places on herself.
After the car started, Huo Shaoting sat there with his legs crossed, his face turned sideways and looking out the window, while the scenery outside kept sliding back.
At this time, the secretary sitting in the passenger seat said, "Mr. Huo, there may be interviews with reporters at today's charity dinner."
When Huo Shaoting heard this, he said directly to his secretary: "Turn it down, we won't go through this step."
After hearing this, the secretary took a notebook to record his instructions and replied: "Okay, Mr. Huo."
Qiqi sat aside, pretending she didn't hear, like a beautifully dressed puppet.
