The sound of Ye Mingqian and Huo Yiquan whispering at close range reached Chi Yanchen's ears. He turned around and his face darkened. His eyes when he looked at Huo Yiquan were a little colder, and there was unconcealable anger in his tone. meaning.
"What are you dawdling about?"
"coming."
The two people who were whispering were startled and quickly followed.
Ye Mingqian followed Chi Yanchen into Huo Jili's ward. Today, he was not lying on the hospital bed, but was pushed by Assistant Zhu to bask in the sun on the balcony.
"Why did Ah Quan come to see me now?"
Huo Jili was waving to them, and in a blink of an eye he saw Huo Yiquan emerging from the door. He laughed and cursed, "How long have you been back home before you thought of visiting me?"
"Uncle, I miss you so much."
Huo Yiquan acted shamelessly.
"You're in your twenties, but you're still so childish."
The lines at the corners of Huo Jili's eyes stretched. It could be seen that he was really happy. People who didn't know the happy scene would have thought that they were a biological father and son.
Ye Mingqian subconsciously glanced at Chi Yanchen not far away. His jaw was tense and his eyes were cold and showed no emotion.
"Miss Ye."
Assistant Zhu came up and took the glasses case from her hand.
"Hard work Qianqian."
Huo Jili took out his glasses and put them on, nodding with satisfaction, "It seems like I'll need to order a few more pairs for ready use."
He glanced at Ye Mingqian's body lightly, smiled warmly at her and said, "My study is too dark, didn't it scare you?"
"No." Ye Mingqian rolled up her hair by her ears and smiled reservedly, "Mr. Huo's study is very grand."
"At that time, I just wanted to put more books, but I didn't expect it to be so big. Sometimes I feel too empty when sitting inside. Qian Qian thinks that putting something inside will alleviate this feeling?
Huo Jili seemed to be asking her, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Is this testing her?
Ye Mingqian's face was expressionless, and his palms were slightly sweaty. He tried hard to recall his behavior in the study. It should not be out of the ordinary to the point of suspicion.
"I was just helping Mr. Huo find glasses and left in a hurry. I didn't look at the rest carefully." She adjusted her mood and smiled slightly. "Mr. Huo asked me for my opinion, which is embarrassing for me. After all, everything is perfect under your arrangement." of."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Yanchen chuckled.
"Flattery."
"You're talking nonsense again." Huo Jili scolded him helplessly.
Chi Yanchen raised his head slightly and cast his eyes sideways, "Miss Ye, can't you hear the truth?"
This look was full of contempt for everything. Ye Mingqian secretly scolded him for being sick, but the smile on his face did not stop, pretending to be gentle and generous.
"Master Chi is joking."
"snort."
Not happy to see Ye Mingqian's fake smile, Chi Yanchen snorted and turned away from looking at her.
"well."
Huo Jili sighed heavily when he saw the two of them were so at odds.
"They have had many quarrels." Huo Yiquan squatted next to Huo Jili's wheelchair and whispered, "I remember they always quarreled every time they met."
"From now on, you should mix it more at home."
Huo Jili patted his head lovingly, but the latter refused repeatedly with a look of horror on his face: "I'm really tired of worrying about my brother's business."
"You are brothers. From now on, the Huo family will be in your hands, and you have to point out what he did wrong." Huo Jili faced Huo Yiquan as if he were a respected elder teaching him earnestly.
Chi Yanchen stood with his arms folded and sneered after hearing the conversation between Huo Jili and Huo Yiquan.
"My mother can enter the study, my brother can teach me, but my son only gets scolded for a while."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly cooled down.
Huo Yiquan uneasily took back his hand on Huo Jili's wheelchair, and anger flashed in Huo Jili's eyes.
The quiet room has a suffocating feeling of an impending rain.
Ye Mingqian clenched her hands and quickly let them go. She smiled slightly to break the awkward situation, "Young Master Chi also has a childish side when he is jealous."
Sure enough, her words made Huo Jili's expression soften, and his eyes looked over with approval, "My son has been so mature since he was young, but it made me forget that he is only in his early twenties."
"Master Chi is as stable as you." Assistant Zhu also came out at the right time to smooth things over.
And the instigator still had a dark face and was noncommittal.
Huo Jili pointed at him and smiled generously, "Look, you are still angry with me."
A conflict was resolved silently, and the freezing atmosphere just now seemed to no longer exist.
When sending Ye Mingqian out, Assistant Zhu whispered his thanks in her ear.
"Mr. Huo has been in a bad mood and appetite recently. He hasn't smiled like this for a long time. If Miss Ye is not busy, she can come and see him more often."
She asked in surprise about Huo Jili's body, "What's wrong with Mr. Huo?"
"It's nothing major. Mr. Huo has many things to do every day. There are just a lot of trivial matters in the company."
Assistant Zhu's mouth was tight, but he covered it with a few words.
"Thank you, Assistant Zhu, for always staying by your side."
"It's my job."
Ye Mingqian only asked Assistant Zhu to be sent to the elevator before letting him return to Huo Jili's ward.
The elevator went down to the place where she parked her car on the third floor. When the door opened, she saw Chi Yanchen blocking the exit.
He turned his back to her and looked towards the parking lot, with his hands folded in front of his chest. Xin Chang's height stood there, the small light on the door dimly lit, hitting the side of his face, and his long eyelashes cast down There was a shadow, and his eyelids drooped as if he was thinking about something.
The sound of the elevator opening the door made him move. He retracted his thoughts and turned around with an indifferent expression.
The whole face was exposed to the light, with deep and three-dimensional contours like fine sculptures, sword-shaped eyebrows slanting into the temples, Ruifeng eyes that were round in front and slanted in the back were occasionally reddish at the end, and the eyes that looked at her were indistinct. sad.
Just looking at each other, Ye Mingqian felt her heart hurt as if a needle had stabbed her hard.
"Chi Yanchen?" She called his name.
"Um."
The man's eyes were covered with ice again, and the fleeting sadness made Ye Mingqian think that what she just saw was an illusion.
"Where's Huo Yiquan?"
"gone."
She met his eyes, strangely calm.
Why was Chi Yanchen so sad just now? Ye Mingqian has never seen such emotions in this man. He has always been aloof and disdainful of everything.
Is it because of Qin Luoying? She vomited blood, was he worried?
"you……"
"she……"
The two said in unison.
Ye Mingqian saw a hint of anger rising in Chi Yanchen's eyes, and inexplicably stepped forward to hug her waist.
"What are you thinking? Huh?"
Ye Mingqian felt confused, "What do you think I am thinking."
"Get her name out of your head."
She sneered, "Is your Bai Yueguang so noble that even passing her name in my head would blaspheme her?"
The lips were tightly sealed, and Ye Mingqian bit back mercilessly.
