Chapter 6 He broke through the Great Defense and went berserk.
The familiar scent of the man lingered in my nostrils; it was the scent of the laundry detergent that Horsley was used to—a light woody fragrance mixed with a touch of mint, very refreshing.
Jiang Qin suddenly remembered that Huo Sili had been using this laundry detergent for the past four years.
Looking at it this way, he doesn't seem to be a fickle person.
Her thoughts drifted away, only to be abruptly pulled back by the ringing of a phone. Huo Sili was on the phone next to her, calling the family doctor. It was Jiang Qin's phone ringing. She took it out and saw that the screen showed "receptionist." Huo Sili's call ended at that very moment.
Jiang Qin reached for the phone to answer, but her ankle, which had been pierced by glass, suddenly stung with pain. Distracted, her hand slipped, and she accidentally turned on the speakerphone.
Just as she realized she was about to click away, the receptionist's loud voice finished speaking in one breath—
"Secretary Jiang, a Mr. Xie just came in and left something for you, saying it was a gift. I'm going upstairs to submit some documents, would you like me to take it up for you?"
Beside Jiang Qin, Huo Sili, who was putting his phone into his pocket, suddenly turned serious.
Suddenly blocked by the light, Jiang Qin turned off the speakerphone and put the phone back to her ear. She looked up in the direction of the obstruction and met Huo Sili's deep eyes. It was like a cruise ship sailing into the deepest part of the sea, with dark waves crashing over it.
Jiang Qin felt uncomfortable under Huo Sili's gaze, and at the same time realized that the Mr. Xie mentioned by the receptionist was Xie You'an.
After a quick thought, Jiang Qin thanked the person on the other end of the phone, "Thank you for your help."
The receptionist said it was no trouble and quickly hung up the phone.
The moment Jiang Qin put down her phone, the man above her let out a groan.
"This is what you mean by 'average'?"
Huo Sili spoke slowly and deliberately, making it sound as if she had been deeply deceived by her, as if she were the one who had cheated on her husband.
Jiang Qin suddenly remembered what she had overheard last night at the shopping mall: Huo Sili and Li Xueqian's interaction, and Huo Sili's cold and indifferent words, "What does it matter what she does?"
"What right do you have to talk to me like that?" Her heart turned as cold as snow, but her blood rushed to her head, and Jiang Qin's mouth moved faster than her brain.
But the moment she said it, Jiang Qin regretted it. Of course, she didn't regret anything else, but she felt that her words were not defensive enough, let alone offensive enough. They sounded like she was admitting that she had also cheated on her husband, which was a bit stupid.
However, Horstley seemed genuinely angered by those words.
The moment he finished speaking, the man suddenly straightened up, looked at her with a cold smile, and called out to her.
"Jiang, Qin".
She wasn't sure if she was seeing things, but when Horst called her that, his eyes seemed a little red.
He has fair skin, and even the slightest change in his emotions is very obvious. Jiang Qin remembers that a year ago, when they were getting along well, she accidentally discovered this about him and would tease him from time to time.
Especially at the company, when it was just the two of them in the president's office, she would sneak a kiss on him when she went in to deliver documents to him.
At that moment, his ears and neck would quickly turn pink, others would be stunned, and she would take the opportunity to escape.
Jiang Qin was jolted back to reality when her phone vibrated twice in her pocket. It was strange; she had slept well last night, but now she seemed to drift off whenever she saw Huo Sili.
However, Jiang Qin quickly comforted herself, saying that she had heard from others that this was how it was during a breakup.
You'll get over it in a while.
Huo Sili went out, and Jiang Qin took out her phone to check it. It was nothing, just a normal work group message.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door. It was He Xu, Huo Sili's special assistant, who brought a paper bag containing clean clothes.
On the surface, He Xu is Huo Sili's special assistant, but Jiang Qin knows that in addition to that, he is also Huo Sili's confidant and only listens to Huo Sili's orders.
It's likely that before Horstley stormed off in anger, he noticed her clothes were wet and gave her the order.
He Xu didn't say much, and left quickly after dropping her off. The wet clothes were indeed very uncomfortable to wear, so Jiang Qin changed them. A little while later, there was another knock on the door, and the doctor had arrived.
Jiang Qin recognized the female doctor she had met at Yunhai Huafu before. The doctor removed the glass shards, applied medicine, and wrapped the wound with gauze. After giving her a few instructions and leaving some things behind, Jiang Qin called the cleaning staff to clean up and quickly returned upstairs.
With a wide range of businesses and branches all over the world, there is never a day with a light workload.
When Jiang Qin entered, Lin Xiaoyu was organizing documents by the bookshelf. Perhaps she had just been scolded again, because the girl was unusually quiet and looked rather pitiful.
Jiang Qin thought that Lin Xiaoyu had taken leave for the past two days due to family matters and only returned to work today. However, given Lin Xiaoyu's current situation, she herself needed to be comforted, so she ultimately gave up the idea of comforting others.
I threw myself into my work, so busy that the alarm clock rang.
As usual, Jiang Qin went in to ask Huo Sili whether he wanted to have lunch at the hotel or the company cafeteria so she could make arrangements for him. She received three cold words from him, which seemed to still carry some anger.
"Let's eat out."
Jiang Qin's professional smile froze slightly for a moment, but she quickly smiled again, "Okay, Mr. Huo."
Once outside, I was about to sit down and continue working when I suddenly felt a dull ache in my lower abdomen.
After a slight pause, realizing what was happening, Jiang Qin opened a drawer, took out a sanitary napkin, and went out to the bathroom.
When Jiang Qin came out of the restroom, she was a little disappointed because her period hadn't come. However, once she felt this way, it usually meant her period was coming, probably in the next day or two.
After adjusting her mindset, Jiang Qin continued working. At midnight, Lin Xiaoyu quietly walked up to her and reminded her that it was time to leave work.
"Okay." Jiang Qin nodded and smiled. "Go eat, and have a good rest at noon."
Lin Xiaoyu responded. Jiang Qin was typing a reply to an email. After finishing her sentence, she looked away from the computer screen and only noticed after a while that Lin Xiaoyu hadn't left. "Is there anything else?"
Lin Xiaoyu glanced in the direction of Huo Sili's office area, looked at Jiang Qin, and lowered her voice, "The receptionist just came in and put something on your desk, Sister Qin, saying it was a gift from someone, and then Mr. Huo took it inside."
Taking something without asking is considered stealing; Jiang Qin was truly surprised that Huo Sili could do such a thing.
But then I thought about it again, and it made sense. If he could do something like having an affair during his marriage, then this must be a trivial matter for him.
After bending down to say this, Lin Xiaoyu straightened up and said, "Then, Sister Qin, I'm going to the restaurant. See you this afternoon."
Jiang Qin smiled and nodded. Lin Xiaoyu left, and Jiang Qin's smile vanished in an instant.
After replying to the email at hand and locking the screen, Jiang Qin got up and walked inside.
Before they even reached the inner room, the voice of He Xu, Huo Sili's special assistant, rang out from outside the door.
"Secretary Jiang, Miss Li has arrived. Please inform President Huo."
Jiang Qin paused, but before she could speak, a tall figure emerged from the inner room.
The man walked straight to the door without looking at her, as if he hadn't seen her at all, and brushed past her.
The flame burning in Jiang Qin's heart suddenly stopped. She turned around and called out to him, "Huo Sili."
