Chapter 140 You and that old Chinese medicine doctor teamed up to deceive me?
Having tried so hard to hide this for so long, when he revealed it like this, Jiang Qin felt as if her heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand and lifted out of her chest.
Because of nervousness, Jiang Qin's breathing became slightly labored for a moment.
However, it was clear that Huo Sili didn't wait for Jiang Qin's reaction.
The instant after saying that, Huo Sili released Jiang Qin's hand, stood up, turned around and went to the medicine cabinet to find the red flat box containing the medicated patches that Yuan Lianqing had mentioned earlier.
The fact that he didn't make a move at this time was undoubtedly a stroke of luck for Jiang Qin.
Since things have come to this, we can only face the storm head-on. At least he just said it was nighttime.
Jiang Qin tried to adjust her mindset and emotions. Seeing Huo Sili walk away to find the medicated patches, she quickly got up from the sofa.
The medical room had a built-in washroom. Jiang Qin went in to tidy up, and when she came out, Huo Sili happened to be there to open the door.
Jiang Qin thought for a moment, then quickened her pace toward the door. As soon as the door opened, Yuan Lianqing, who was standing outside with her back to the door, turned around and looked at her.
Just as she was about to say something, before she could even speak, she saw Jiang Qin walk out and raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Qin preemptively said, "I'll go downstairs and wait for you."
The words were addressed to Huo Sili, and Huo Sili himself did not know why he used the word "wait," let alone Yuan Lianqing, who had just arrived.
However, if we include what my son just mentioned about "normal things between husband and wife".
Yuan Lianqing felt a little embarrassed.
Glancing at Huo Sili, Jiang Qin hadn't left yet. Yuan Lianqing took the medicine patch first and quickly walked towards the next lounge where Huo Chishen, who was currently sitting in a wheelchair, was staying.
Noticing that Yuan Lianqing had moved to the side, Jiang Qin, who had originally said that she didn't want to be alone with Huo Sili anymore, naturally didn't dare to slow down and quickly hurried towards the elevator.
Huo Sili's dark gaze was fixed on Jiang Qin's back as she headed towards the elevator.
Only after Jiang Qin's figure was completely out of sight did he look away.
After moving away, she still didn't understand what he was waiting for. Then she realized that what she said earlier was probably just that she didn't want to be alone with him, so she was talking nonsense.
Thinking of this, Huo Sili's expression darkened.
What, is he some kind of monster? Or some kind of fairy who eats people?
……
On the first floor, Jiang Qin sneezed as she came out of the elevator.
It was a very soft sound, but the old lady who had gotten off the sofa and was sitting down when the two kissed in the medical room heard it very clearly.
Qiu Huilan glanced at Jiang Qin, then quickly said to Sister Wu, "Go and get a cloak for the Second Young Mistress."
Jiang Qin blinked, "No need, Grandma, I..."
Jiang Qin wanted to say that she wasn't cold, but before she could say it, Qiu Huilan interrupted, "Hey, Qinqin, you should wear more clothes. Don't get cold. It's getting colder every day. Wearing more clothes is good for your health."
Okay, there's a kind of coldness that comes from your elders thinking you're cold, so you have to be cold.
Jiang Qin naturally knew that the old lady meant well and cared about her because she liked her.
She didn't say anything more. She wasn't cold, but in this kind of weather, adding a cloak shouldn't make her too hot.
“…” A few minutes later, Jiang Qin squeezed the fluffy embroidered cloak that the old lady had personally tied for her.
Okay, I shouldn't speak too soon—this cloak is so warm that she could be related to a hand warmer.
However, Jiang Qin is okay with not exercising, since she's about to set off.
"What's with all this bastard chattering? Get back to work..."
Just as he was about to say "come down," the elevator doors opened, and Horst's voice suddenly rang out—
"I'm all ready, Grandma, let's go."
Qiu Huilan closed her open mouth, got up from the sofa, and said, "Let's go, let's go."
As she spoke, the old lady instinctively reached out to help Jiang Qin up, while the old man, who had been sitting in the single sofa reading the newspaper, got up.
He reached out and took the old lady's hand.
Qiu Huilan's eyelids twitched, and she glanced at her husband. Huo Wu glanced behind him, and his stern demeanor, which had been when he was disciplining Huo Sili, turned into a simple smile at his wife. Qiu Huilan understood and took Huo Wu's hand in return.
The elderly couple then walked forward together, affectionately entwined.
Under these circumstances, it was naturally inconvenient for Jiang Qin to continue following the old lady.
It was all too obvious that the two elderly people were creating opportunities for her and Horstley to be alone together.
However... the conditions were met, but Jiang Qin was unwilling, and no one was binding her legs at the moment.
So Jiang Qin continued walking alone at her own pace.
As Yuan Lianqing, who was at the back, pushed Huo Chishen out, she saw a strange scene ahead.
At the very front were her parents-in-law, followed by Jiang Qin, and then Huo Sili, who was two meters behind them.
Yuan Lianqing frowned, and in an instant, she felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
Then Huo Chishen, who was ahead, said with some surprise, "Mom, is my sister-in-law and Sili having a fight?"
The sound wasn't loud, but as a trained martial artist, Horstley's hearing was exceptionally sharp.
As soon as Huo Chishen finished speaking, Huo Sili, who was walking at a distance from Jiang Qin, turned around and glanced over. His dark eyes were filled with cold stars, and his gaze fell directly on Huo Chishen's legs without any attempt to hide it, scanning into Huo Chishen's eyes.
Huo Chishen's expression changed slightly. At the same time, Yuan Lianqing, who was pushing the wheelchair, noticed that Huo Sili was looking over. The scene of the wheelchair being kicked away immediately replayed in her mind, and she became tense.
As the atmosphere remained tense, Huo Sili stared coldly at Huo Chishen, his eyes filled with a strong warning.
Huo Chishen's face turned pale from staring at her, and he glanced at Yuan Lianqing before looking away.
Inside the extended van, Jiang Qin got in first.
After fastening my seatbelt, I leaned my head towards the window and closed my eyes to rest.
A few seconds later, I heard the sound of the car door closing gently and the sound of the seatbelt being fastened next to me.
Remembering how he had kissed her so passionately in the medical room upstairs, and now that the car was even smaller, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel uneasy. But perhaps it was because Huo Sili had a change of heart, since they got in the car and he still hadn't stopped kissing her.
For the first time ever, Jiang Qin found that Huo Sili was quite well-behaved.
He neither said anything inappropriate nor did he do anything to her.
With her tense heart calming down considerably, Jiang Qin closed her eyes, and after a while, leaned back in her chair and truly fell asleep.
When Jiang Qin woke up again, she looked up and saw a starry sky like shattered diamonds. It took her a while to realize where she was.
She tried to get up, but a long arm held her waist, preventing her from standing.
"Sleeping so soundly? Is this just morning sickness? Did you and that old Chinese medicine doctor team up to lie to me? Or did you only find out you were pregnant when you went to the hospital this time? It can't be, right?"
Jiang Qin's face turned pale. Looking up to the side, she met Huo Sili's cold, handsome features.
He looked down at her, his eyes deep and dark. Her head was resting on his arm, clearly indicating that he had laid her down while she was asleep.
The position was too strange. Jiang Qin wanted to get up, but his hands were wrapped around her waist and too close to her abdomen.
Too dangerous.
Jiang Qin couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she didn't dare to move.
But what's the difference between admitting it like that and washing your neck and handing it to the executioner?
Jiang Qin suppressed her inner panic and said in a calm voice, "I just stayed up late last night. Also, who told you to put me down? Let go of my hand, I want to get up."
As she spoke, she reached out to push him, and heard his breathing become heavier.
The handsome, fair face suddenly loomed larger, and Jiang Qin's pupils widened.
He kissed her lips again without warning.
"Ugh...!" Jiang Qin tried to turn her head to dodge and reached out to push him away, but Huo Sili's arm held her captive like a steel clamp.
He forcefully pulled her into his arms, his large hands gripping her waist and back tightly, his wrists held firmly in his grasp.
He kissed her until she lost all strength, her eyes reddened, and her breath became unsteady.
Only then did he finally take pity on her and let her go.
But once she let him off the hook, Jiang Qin became completely irritated. Even if she wanted to slap him again now, no matter how hard she tried, it would be no different from a kitten's gentle pat.
"Hosley, you bastard...!"
Before she could utter the word "egg," in her anger, her mouth was once again covered by his.
Jiang Qin's eyes widened in shock, and her eyelashes stopped blinking.
Suddenly, she seemed to have come to a realization—yes, she was no match for him, and the right thing to do when you're weak is to withdraw from the match!
Fortunately, the photography company finally arrived at that moment.
Hearing the driver's voice on the communicator, Jiang Qin, having regained some strength, quickly got off Huo Sili's lap, returned to her original seat, and quickly opened the car's built-in vanity mirror to check and tidy her clothes and hair.
However, just then, Horstley opened the car door and got out without a care in the world.
The car door wasn't closed yet!
Jiang Qin, looking in the mirror, happened to see a hickey he had just left on her collarbone.
My heart started racing, so I quickly tidied my hair to cover it up.
However, upon closer examination, it was discovered that there were also similar cases on the other side, and more than one!
Just then, Jiang Qin heard the old lady's footsteps approaching her.
"Where's Qinqin? Hey, you brat, why did you get off the bus all by yourself? Is Qinqin asleep or what?"
As Qiu Huilan walked, her tone was filled with resentment towards Huo Sili, and her words were clearly directed at him.
Realizing that Qiu Huilan was less than two meters away from the car door, Jiang Qin looked at her own reflection in the mirror, her hair and clothes clearly disheveled, and her heart instantly jumped into her throat.
