After Huo Yanqing left, Shuxin quickly drank the porridge that Mama Yun gave her. Then she found her phone on the bedside table, unlocked it, and checked the call history. All the calls were from Xiao Ruize.
Shuxin called back. After the call connected, Xiao Ruize's voice immediately came through. "Xin'er, is that you?"
"Yeah."
"Where are you in the middle of the night? Why did a man pick up your call? Who is that man? What's your relationship with him? " As soon as Xiao Ruize heard that it was Shuxin, he asked a lot of questions. It was as if he was a husband who caught his wife having an affair. His tone was angry and questioning.
Shuxin frowned. This was Huo Yanqing's house. She didn't want to argue with him, so she only asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten days. I wanted to go to school to see you, but you wouldn't let me. I told you to come to my place, but you didn't come. Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy? Or did you have a change of heart and like someone else? "
Shuxin sneered, but her voice was very gentle. "Ruize, the reason why I didn't see you during this time was because I was thinking about something."
"What is it?"
"Are we suitable for each other or not?"
"Xin'er, why would you think that? Don't you love me anymore? "
"I love you. Why wouldn't I love you?" Shuxin's sneer grew brighter. "For you, I can even give up my life."
Even though Shuxin tried her best to control herself, her words were still tinged with a touch of mockery. However, Xiao Ruize subconsciously thought that Shuxin couldn't have a change of heart, so he didn't hear the difference in her tone at all.
"Since you love me, there's no such thing as whether we're suitable or not."
Shuxin said in a conflicted tone, "But … my dad worked so hard to raise me. I can't abandon him because of you, so let's break up …"
Just then, Huo Yanqing pushed the door open and came in.
Shuxin hurriedly said, "I don't have class tomorrow afternoon. I'll look for you. I have something to do now. I'll hang up first." Then she hung up the phone.
Huo Yanqing walked to the bedside and sat down. He seemed to be in a good mood. His cold face softened a little. "Your design is very good. The design department had a meeting and unanimously approved it."
Shuxin's smile instantly appeared on her face, and she could not hide her excitement. "Thank you, Fifth Uncle, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard to do better."
Huo Yanqing frowned. "Don't call me Fifth Uncle in the future."
The smile on Shuxin's face instantly froze. She gently bit her lip and said, "I know … Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. I was too rash."
His voice was very low, and the disappointment in his words was very obvious.
Huo Yanqing's brows furrowed even tighter. After a moment of silence, he said, "Just call him Fifth Uncle."
His voice was helpless, but there was a trace of undetectable doting in it.
The disappointment on Shuxin's face instantly faded. "Okay."
"It's late. Get some rest." Huo Yanqing stood up and left the room.
The next day
Shuxin woke up to the sound of her alarm. Huo Yanqing lived a little far from the school, so Shuxin had set her alarm for six o 'clock last night.
Shuxin happened to bump into Huo Yanqing when she went downstairs after washing up.
He was wearing a light gray sportswear. It was different from his usual formal suit, and he exuded the aura of a family man. His deep and sharp facial features seemed to have a trace of gentleness.
