Chapter 83 Baby, be good, I'm here.
"it is good."
Horst responded, surprisingly "obedient".
When we got out of the restaurant, the old lady was already sitting in her chair.
With the old lady in charge, nothing went wrong during lunch.
Aside from the old lady's initial curiosity about why it took so long to wash her hands, Horsley quickly made up an excuse, saying he had been delayed by replying to some work messages, and brushed it off.
Horst flew back from the Western Hemisphere, where the local time was thirteen hours different from Kyoto's.
It's afternoon in Kyoto, but it's still early morning there.
The old lady is here again, so we have to adjust to the time difference. Otherwise, if we don't take care of our health, we'll inevitably upset and upset the old lady.
After lunch and a short rest, Horstley suggested going upstairs to catch up on sleep and adjust his schedule.
Jiang Qin naturally had no objections and quickly agreed.
Just as Huo Sili headed towards the elevator, the old lady suddenly looked at Jiang Qin.
"Qinqin, you must be tired lately. Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap?"
Jiang Qin really wanted to refuse.
Strangely enough, after the old lady said that, she really did feel sleepy.
But she had already decided in her heart that she would sleep in the second bedroom upstairs. As for the master bedroom, with Horstley around, there was no way she would go there.
"Okay, then Grandma, you..."
When Qiu Huilan heard Jiang Qin's words, she naturally knew that Jiang Qin had agreed, and she was overjoyed and quickly said.
"Don't worry about Grandma. You young people should rest well and get some sleep. Didn't the old doctor say you need to sleep more? Grandma will rest here for a bit and then go back to the old house. Ah, with Sister Wu and the others here, don't worry."
He looked over with loving eyes and said again.
"Alright, Qinqin, go upstairs. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You and Sili haven't seen each other for many days. You two should take this opportunity to catch up."
The old lady spoke so bluntly that Jiang Qin naturally understood the old lady's intention in asking her to go upstairs at this moment.
But when facing Qiu Huilan, Jiang Qin should behave herself.
"Okay, Grandma, see you on Sunday."
Qiu Huilan smiled kindly, "Okay, see you on Sunday, go ahead."
Jiang Qin nodded and turned to head towards the elevator.
Shortly after, the elevator arrived at the floor where the master bedroom and secondary bedroom were located.
Jiang Qin went to the second bedroom without looking back.
I pushed the door open and froze.
At the same time, on the second bedroom, Huo Sili opened his eyes and looked over.
"...Qinqin?"
Jiang Qin: "You continue."
Click, Jiang Qin said, and quietly closed the door.
Inside the room, Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly, propped himself up, and sat up, as if regaining consciousness.
He paused, then threw back the covers and got out of bed.
At the same time, in the master bedroom, Jiang Qin went into the bathroom to wash up.
Today is Tuesday. According to Huo's rules and regulations, the workload was originally scheduled to be light today. So, although she was absent-minded in the morning, Jiang Qin still managed to finish approving the paper documents.
The remaining ten or so emails can be replied to online, so there's no need to go back to the office.
I don't know what time it will be after I fall asleep. If you're going to sleep, you should sleep comfortably, otherwise it's better not to sleep at all.
After washing up, Jiang Qin prepared to change from her formal attire into pajamas, but she was probably still tired and thought that Huo Sili had already gone to sleep and no one else would come up to this floor.
After drawing the curtains, Jiang Qin changed directly by the bed in the master bedroom without going into the dressing room.
I thought I'd change and hang the clothes on the side rack, then lie down to sleep, so I wouldn't have to go through all that trouble walking around.
But just as she finished taking off her top clothes, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
The indoor temperature suddenly seemed to drop.
Jiang Qin's eyelids twitched, and she quickly grabbed her pajamas and put them on.
The master bedroom door was equipped with a security lock, allowing only she and Horstley to enter easily.
Jiang Qin clearly heard the sound of the door lock being opened.
Without a doubt, the person who came was Huo Sili. Realizing this, Jiang Qin was speechless.
Wasn't he sleeping in the second bedroom? What's he up to now?
However, despite her thoughts, she didn't have time to talk right now, so she quickly grabbed her unchanged pajama bottoms and headed to the changing room.
Just then, Horst walked in.
Jiang Qin turned to go to the changing room, and just then she ran into Huo Sili, who was walking inside.
Jiang Qin: "..."
Huo Sili, on the other hand, seemed quite natural: "Need to change clothes?"
Jiang Qin doesn't wear a bra to bed. It wouldn't have been a problem in the past when she was with him, but now…
Seeing that Huo Sili was looking at her, Jiang Qin hugged her pajama bottoms with both hands, clearly avoiding his gaze.
Her awkwardness was so obvious that Horst noticed it, and he didn't say what he wanted to say, but quickly changed his mind.
"Then you can go in."
Jiang Qin was indeed a little sleepy at the moment. She hummed in response and walked past him toward the changing room.
Not long after, after tidying up, he came out and saw that Huo Sili was lying naturally in his usual sleeping spot on the big bed, with the blanket neatly draped over his body.
The blanket on her side was even thoughtfully left open at one corner, making it easier for her to get into bed.
Jiang Qin: "..."
I turned around and wanted to go to the second bedroom.
But after thinking about it, she realized that she had slept in the second bedroom bed before, and it was harder than the master bedroom bed, plus she was already a bit picky about beds.
She is also quite particular about bedding. She chose all four pieces of bedding for the master bedroom. She's used to them, and changing to something else would be too much of a hassle for her.
Well, Horst has a high body temperature, let's use him as a hot water bottle.
Jiang Qin sat on the bed, lay down, turned to face the air, and closed her eyes.
The master bedroom bed is very large. He was away on a business trip this week, and the bed there was always ice cold. Sometimes when he turned over and bumped into it, he would wake up from the cold.
Now that he was lying down, he felt much warmer, as if there was a perfectly heated stove next to him.
Jiang Qin had initially thought she might feel uncomfortable, but it turned out that as long as she was sleepy enough, the feeling of discomfort or not didn't exist at all.
Jiang Qin fell asleep shortly after lying down. The temperature and the bed were just right. She was tired enough and slept soundly.
He heard shallow, even breathing beside him. Huo Sili opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them.
Although she used to take a nap, now, doesn't she dislike him?
She lay down next to him and fell asleep so quickly.
Is she too tired? She hasn't been sleeping well these past few days either?
Huo Sili gazed at Jiang Qin with dark eyes. After a long while, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed Jiang Qin's forehead.
Regardless, at least she could sleep soundly next to him, which means that there was something going on between them.
It's not that bad yet?
Perhaps it's not too late.
……
This side, the Li family.
Li Xueqian had just finished an entertainment interview and returned home. Before she could even sit down, she heard the maid say something, and she immediately stood up straight, feeling a surge of nervousness.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with an upright and imposing presence stepped out of the van that had driven into the yard.
“Dad.” Li Xueqian quickly went over.
But as soon as she walked up to Li Zhiyuan, the man raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
A crisp, deafening sound.
The scene seemed familiar. The servants around her were silent as if they were cicadas in fear. A look of hatred flashed in Li Xueqian's eyes. She met Li Zhiyuan's eagle-like eyes and dared not utter a single word.
Do you know why I hit you?
The man's deep voice was full of authority.
Li Xueqian's mind was racing, but the burning pain on her face overwhelmed her reason. "I...I don't know..."
Li Zhiyuan's face turned as cold as ice.
"Our Li family does not keep mistresses!"
"This is my first and last warning to you: get your thoughts in check. Mr. Huo is a married man. Stay away from him!"
Li Xueqian's pupils contracted, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
Li Zhiyuan turned around and got back into his car, which disappeared into the distance.
Li Xueqian covered her face with her hands, and when she touched it, it hurt terribly. She lowered her hands, her fingers clenched into fists.
Yuan Yue, who had been following Li Xueqian, was stunned. She wanted to say something, but was first locked onto by Li Xueqian's cold gaze.
Yuan Yue shuddered: "Sister Xuexue, are you... are you alright? I'll go find you some medicine!"
Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Yue's collar was yanked by Li Xueqian.
“Jiang Qin helped you last time, so find some time to send her a gift.”
Yuan Yue's heart pounded like a drum. Before she could say anything, Li Xueqian approached her, her gaze cool.
Don't forget who pays your salary!
……
Master bedroom in Yunhai Huafu.
Having gotten used to sleeping alone this week, Jiang Qin woke up to find herself turned over with her hands and legs draped over Huo Sili.
"..." He gently turned his head and glanced at the person beside him.
Horst's eyes were still closed; he looked like he was sleeping soundly.
Jiang Qin silently raised her hands and feet, preparing to move away.
But as soon as she moved, an arm came over her lower back and pressed her forcefully into his arms.
I noticed something was off about him.
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she froze instantly, her cheeks and ears turning bright red.
He called out through gritted teeth, "Hosley...!"
With his eyes closed, Horst kissed her perfectly.
He seemed extremely tired and mumbled a few words, which Jiang Qin could only understand when she got closer—
"Baby, be good, I'm here."
