Chapter 98 His eyes suddenly darkened
"Hosley...! Let go!"
After a long while, Huo Sili finally stopped kissing her. Jiang Qin quickly buried her head to the other side to hide, adjusted her breathing, and pushed him away with all her might.
But clearly, this effort was no different from not exerting any force at all for Horstley.
Perhaps because they had kissed, Horst seemed to be in a good mood, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the topic veered off course.
"This dress is quite pretty, shall we keep it?"
Before Jiang Qin could speak, Huo Sili replied, "Alright, it's fine if you don't want to keep it. I'll buy this one."
"If you like it, you can wear it; if you don't, I'll keep it as a souvenir."
Keep this as a memento.
Jiang Qin really wanted to ask, what is being commemorated?
To commemorate this moment, he secretly went into the changing room and kissed her.
abnormal.
Jiang Qin cursed inwardly.
But you can't really scold her outwardly. "You can make your own decision. Okay, let go. Grandma is getting impatient waiting outside."
Jiang Qin was about to continue arguing when Huo Sili finally took pity on her.
He let go of her hand and carefully tidied her hair.
He then looked at himself in the mirror and said in a sincere tone, "You're beautiful."
Jiang Qin looked at herself in the glasses. She was self-aware enough to know that her face was indeed beautiful.
However, upon seeing this face, something suddenly came to Jiang Qin's mind—
That is, she realized very early on that she did not look like Wang Peilan, nor did she look like her abusive father Jiang Chao, who died in a car accident when she was five years old.
Moreover, she didn't resemble her grandmother at all. She later saw photos of the few other relatives in the family and then discovered that she didn't look like any of them either.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin couldn't help but recall the thoughts she had when she was young.
That is, she felt that she might have been abducted.
Either they were switched at birth, or Wang Peilan was aware of the mix-up.
Because in her childhood memories, Wang Peilan was not always heartless.
On the contrary, she remembered that when she was very young, Wang Peilan would take her to the park to play, scold the little boy who bullied her, and buy her the candy she wanted. Although those memories were very few, Jiang Qin knew she couldn't be wrong; that person was Wang Peilan.
And because of this, Jiang Qin could never understand why the other person could be so heartless when she was five years old.
If Grandma hadn't arrived in time that day, and the blood had continued to flow, she would have certainly died.
Logically, for some reason, Jiang Qin had a gut feeling that it didn't make sense.
Of course, these are all just her guesses. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and she is someone involved in the situation, so it's normal that she can't see things clearly.
Perhaps, it's just that she can't accept that her parents are such heartless people.
Jiang Qin had only been out in that dress for a few minutes when the old lady and Sister Wu returned with some snacks.
"Come on, Qinqin, have some snacks. They're fresh out of the oven, hot and fragrant."
The old lady opened the box, and the aroma of the pastries wafted out. As she spoke, she personally took a piece and fed it to Jiang Qin's lips. Jiang Qin quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
"No need to thank me." Qiu Huilan smiled kindly, took a half step back, and then praised her without any politeness.
"Beautiful! So beautiful! Our Qinqin is absolutely gorgeous, even more beautiful than Grandma was when she was young!"
Jiang Qin blushed at the praise, "No, Grandma, you're too kind to praise me. I'm not as pretty as you were when you were young."
Jiang Qin wasn't making this up; she had seen photos of Qiu Huilan when she was young. She had quite a presence and aura, and just standing there, she exuded an air of authority without even trying. She had a very dignified and elegant appearance, and her whole being radiated nobility.
Just then, Holmes's voice rang out.
"Fix the back zipper on this one later, pack it up, and deliver it to Yunhai Huafu before Monday."
The words were spoken to the salesperson.
From the fabric and craftsmanship to the accessories, this dress is made entirely of natural colored diamonds; it's safe to say that not a single piece of it was cheap.
With such luxurious accessories, the overall price must be incredibly high.
The salesperson was beaming and quickly agreed, "Yes, Mr. Huo, I'll contact the repair department right away and get it fixed and delivered to you."
……
I spent the whole day looking at dresses, from morning till night.
When Jiang Qin returned to Yunhai Huafu, she was even a little allergic to pretty dresses.
After having dinner out, Jiang Qin immediately went upstairs to tidy up as soon as she got back.
The evening gown that arrived later was signed for by Horstley on his behalf.
"Hard."
"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Huo. If you have any questions about the dress, please feel free to call our store. Thank you for your patronage, and we look forward to your next visit." The sales clerk at the boutique was very professional.
Huo Sili nodded and personally pushed the delivery cart full of boxes toward the elevator.
As the elevator reached the third floor, Horst's gaze swept across the crack in the master bedroom door.
Light shines through, the door is opened, and water splashes.
Clearly, Jiang Qin is taking a shower.
Huo Sili checked her phone and saw that it was indeed her usual bedtime.
After opening the wardrobe and finding some clean clothes, Horstley turned and walked out.
Just as I turned to leave, my phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
Huo Sili raised an eyebrow, walked over, glanced at the notes, and his eyes darkened.
Just then, Jiang Qin came out of the bathroom, surrounded by sweet, moist steam, and yawned.
She was really drowsy and confused when she heard her phone ring and saw Horstley there.
Exhausted, her voice was somewhat soft as she subconsciously asked, "Who called?"
