There was a sound at the door. Shuxin turned off the TV and got up to walk towards the door. Huo Yanqing had already entered the house and was changing his shoes at the entrance.
"Did you get the land in the south of the city?" Shuxin asked as she reached out to take Huo Yanqing's jacket.
Huo Yanqing avoided Shuxin's hand. "I'll do it myself."
Shuxin's hand paused in midair and she blinked. She was usually the one who brought his jacket for him. Why was he being so polite today?
Shuxin turned around and followed Huo Yanqing. "Did the bid not go well?"
Huo Yanqing's voice was calm and emotionless. "We got the land."
Shuxin's face broke into a smile. "It's a good thing that you got the land. Why do you look so unhappy?"
Huo Yanqing sat down on the sofa. Shuxin leaned over and held his arm. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Huo Yanqing turned to look at Shuxin. She was wearing casual clothes. Her palm-sized face was embedded in her long black hair, making her look even more petite.
Huo Yanqing lifted Shuxin's chin. "You provoked me."
"Huh?" Shuxin looked confused. "I haven't seen you today. How did I provoke you?"
Huo Yanqing looked deeply at Shuxin without saying a word. His meaning was obvious: Think about it yourself.
Shuxin looked up at Huo Yanqing as he pinched her chin. She blinked her confused eyes and thought for a moment. "I don't know. Can you give me a hint?"
Huo Yanqing saw the mischievous and warm smile in Shuxin's eyes. He resisted the urge to kiss her and deliberately lowered his voice. "Qi Donglin is sick?"
"How did you know?" Shuxin was stunned for a moment after she asked the question. She looked at Huo Yanqing's jealous face and felt sweet in her heart. She put her hands on his smooth neck and asked, "What else do you know?"
"Bring tea and water and buy medicine." Huo Yanqing tightened his grip on Shuxin's chin.
Shuxin frowned slightly. "It hurts."
"You won't remember if it doesn't hurt," Huo Yanqing said, but he had already loosened his grip.
"Remember what?"
"Don't get so close to Qi Donglin."
"Brother Qi is our company's gold medal cost engineer. Naturally, I have to treat him well. Otherwise, what if he gets poached by someone else?"
"I can arrange a better one for you."
Shuxin frowned. "No."
Huo Yanqing let go of Shuxin, pulled her hands away from his neck and was about to get up.
Shuxin hugged Huo Yanqing's waist and was about to kiss Huo Yanqing when he tilted his head to avoid her.
Shuxin removed her hands from his waist and put them on his neck again. She was relentless and wanted to kiss him again. This time, Huo Yanqing did not avoid her. He just watched as Shuxin rubbed her lips against his.
How did it feel to have someone staring at you when you were kissing?
Shuxin was snubbed. She pulled away from Huo Yanqing's lips and asked with a hint of bitterness, "Why do you always make things difficult for Brother Qi?"
Huo Yanqing thought about Qi Donglin's information that he read today and his expression turned ugly. "You didn't even know him in the past and he never took care of you. Why did you lie to me?"
"Did you investigate me?"
"No. I did a background check on him. You were not in his previous life."
Shuxin did not know how to explain. She could not tell Huo Yanqing that Qi Donglin took care of her like a brother in her previous life, right?
Shuxin leaned into Huo Yanqing's arms and pressed her face against his chest. "I'm going to give birth to your child. Don't you believe me?"
