Song Li sensed a chill in the air. His heart skipped a beat. Was The Fifth Lord jealous? "Qi Donglin, the chief architect of Ming Xiang Group."
Huo Yanqing was silent for two seconds before asking, "What do you think of him? How old is he? "
Song Li deliberated for a moment before replying, "He's tall and skinny. He's not bad looking, but he can't compare to The Fifth Lord. He looks about 25 years old."
Song Li felt the temperature in the car drop to zero in an instant. He stole a glance at the rearview mirror. The man in the backseat had a cold expression on his face. He was obviously angry.
Huo Yanqing withdrew his hand from Shuxin's grip. He put his arm around her shoulders and asked her in a deep voice, "Are you happy to see Qi Donglin?"
Shuxin nodded. "Yes, I'm happy."
"So you drank too much?"
Shuxin's cheeks were flushed red from the alcohol. She looked at Huo Yanqing with misty eyes and shook her head. "I didn't drink too much. I only drank three glasses … No … four glasses … I think it was five glasses …"
Shuxin massaged her temples and found a comfortable position in Huo Yanqing's arms. "… I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while."
The car quieted down. Song Li felt the air getting colder and colder. It was so oppressive that he felt suffocated.
Song Li sped up. He just wanted to get away from this atmosphere as soon as possible.
When they got home, Huo Yanqing filled the bathtub with water. He carried Shuxin into the bathtub and groped around to give her a bath.
He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her exquisite body before carrying her to the bed.
Then he took a quick shower. When he returned to the bedroom, he pressed himself on Shuxin. He wanted to vent his jealousy on Shuxin.
However, just as he pressed himself against her, Shuxin murmured in her sleep, "Big Brother Qi, it's so good to see you."
Her words were like a bucket of cold water that had been poured over Huo Yanqing's body. The heat that had been rising in his body because of Shu Xin's bath was instantly extinguished.
Huo Yanqing's face was cold. He turned over and got off Shuxin's body, lying down with his back facing her.
Shuxin was drunk and slept soundly. She didn't know that her unconscious words made the man beside her so angry that he couldn't sleep for half the night.
Huo Yanqing sulked alone for half the night. Finally, he turned around and pulled Shuxin into his arms. Smelling the familiar scent, his agitated heart finally calmed down. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day
Office of the President of Huo Corporation
Song Li stood in front of his desk and reported the day's schedule, trembling with fear. After reporting, he looked at Huo Yanqing, who had been wearing a cold expression since morning and said, "The Fifth Lord, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
The office was filled with oppressive cold air. Song Li couldn't take it anymore and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Huo Yanqing said coldly, "Why aren't there any arrangements between eleven and two o 'clock?"
Song Li was stunned for a moment and said carefully, "The Fifth Lord, you've told me before that no arrangements can be made between eleven and two o 'clock. This is the time when you and Miss Shu can be alone."
Huo Yanqing spat out two words coldly, "Arrangements."
Song Li said, "Then about Miss Shu …"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Huo Yanqing's voice suddenly deepened.
Song Li's body trembled and he hurriedly said, "I'll arrange it right away. I'll arrange it right away."
Song Li left the CEO's office and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He took out his phone and dialed Shuxin's number. "Miss Shu, did you have a fight with The Fifth Lord?"
"No."
Song Li was speechless. Could it be that The Fifth Lord was sulking alone and Miss Shu didn't know?
