Chapter 85 He suddenly stopped
Shouldn't we cherish the gifts from our beloved? Or did she misunderstand something?
Or... he felt that Li Xueqian had her assistant send this to her, not to him.
So he was jealous, so he wanted to take it and throw it away?
But the logic doesn't seem quite right? Jiang Qin looked up and glanced at Huo Sili, whose face was clearly calm, without a trace of jealousy.
Although he was used to hiding his emotions, after glancing at his expression, Jiang Qin still felt that it wasn't jealousy, but something else entirely.
But what exactly was it? Jiang Qin thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
And at this moment, the question was clearly more appealing to her than the various delicious dishes in the restaurant.
Jiang Qin took a lunchbox and started serving herself.
That's true. Who cares what happened between Huo Sili and Li Xueqian? Anyway, she was going to throw that thing in the trash anyway.
He threw it away for her, isn't that great? It saved her the trouble of making the trip.
And as I said before, they're getting a divorce soon.
After the divorce, she had already thought it through; she would distance herself from the Huo family and those who had a good relationship with them.
For example, the Wen family, Huo Sili's good brothers, Sheng Zhan, Qiu Zichen, Lu Xiuyuan, and so on, are all kept at a distance.
Especially with the Huo family, she would at most keep in touch with the old lady, and definitely wouldn't contact anyone else.
If the old lady knows her grandson's true colors and still wants her to be with Huo Sili, then she can simply cut off all contact with the Huo family after she goes abroad.
But in any case, once she goes abroad, she and Huo Sili will definitely cut off all contact completely.
But time changes everything, and perhaps one day in the future they might run into each other again.
But by then, they must have been complete strangers.
The kind of unfamiliarity where you would immediately say "excuse me" if you accidentally bumped into someone.
So instead of wasting time worrying about the situation between him and Li Xueqian, you should consider some practical issues.
Jiang Qin looked at the rows of delicious-looking buffet dishes in front of her...
I thought to myself, I should think about now and decide which option to choose.
The food at Huo's Restaurant is so plentiful that it takes me a while to decide what to eat each time.
Especially today, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but the dishes seemed to suit her taste better than usual.
Looking at them one by one, she found that several of the dishes next to each other were her favorites, making her suffer from decision paralysis.
After all, although she likes it, her appetite is really limited—she is used to eating until she is 70% full, and if she eats more, her stomach will feel uncomfortable.
After thinking it over, Jiang Qin decided not to deprive herself and took a small spoonful of each item. The number of items increased, but the total amount did not.
The Huo's staff canteen has all the necessary supplies in its takeout area, and there are dedicated staff members responsible for preparing the lunch bags.
The takeout bag will come pre-packaged with disposable tableware, napkins, fruit, and an empty food container for storing food scraps such as bones and fish bones.
When Jiang Qin arrives, she usually just puts the food container inside, grabs the bag, and leaves—very convenient.
Unexpectedly, as Jiang Qin was walking this way, a familiar tall figure approached from another direction.
She initially thought she was mistaken, since in her memory, Huo Sili only ate takeout when he was very busy with work. When he came to the restaurant, he would go directly to his private room to order food and would not sit with the staff to eat.
But upon smelling the faint woody scent wafting in the air—an overly familiar aroma—Jiang Qin knew she was absolutely certain.
However, Jiang Qin really didn't care what Huo Sili was doing here.
She was hungry. The doctor had specifically told her that she must eat on time, saying that pregnancy itself consumes a lot of the mother's essence and blood. If she was hungry and did not replenish it in time, her body would naturally suffer. And since her condition was not particularly good, she should pay more attention.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin quickened her pace, put down the lunchbox, picked up the bag, and was about to leave.
Just then, a restaurant staff member standing nearby noticed Horstley approaching and his eyes widened.
He quickly greeted Huo Sili: "Good afternoon, Mr. Huo!"
After speaking, she noticed who Huo Sili was looking at, and then saw Jiang Qin turn around and leave quickly with the bag as if she hadn't seen Huo Sili coming over. Her eyes widened even more.
What's going on? Secretary Jiang's direct supervisor isn't President Huo? Didn't they even say hello?
However, the next second, they were even more stunned.
In front of him, the man's long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles picked up a lunch bag, put the food container inside, and then he left.
The speed and direction clearly indicated that they were chasing after Jiang Qin, who had left ahead!
Horst's steps were brisk; having lived under the same roof for four years, his footsteps were naturally very familiar to her.
Upon realizing this, Jiang Qin in front of her really wanted to frown.
Is he pursuing her? Or is there some urgent matter at hand?
But now that she's back at work, she knows his schedule best, and he doesn't have anything urgent to do today.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips and stopped walking. She couldn't run or walk fast now. If he were really chasing her, no matter how fast she walked, he would definitely catch up with her at his pace.
It would be better to stop and give him a warning look first.
Thinking this way, Jiang Qin did just that, but things obviously didn't go as she wished.
She underestimated the extent of someone's shamelessness—
"Secretary Jiang." Turning around, Jiang Qin met Huo Sili's smiling face.
He carried the takeout food, took a long stride, and walked easily and quickly to her side.
Jiang Qin's warning gaze vanished like a bubble the moment it hit the air.
Of course, it wasn't that she took it voluntarily; it was just that Huo Sili simply wouldn't take the bait!
When a scholar encounters a soldier, reason is useless.
When a soldier encounters a scholar, he has tricks up his sleeve but nowhere to use them!
Jiang Qin took a deep breath; she was exhausted after all. She ignored Huo Sili and continued walking forward.
But how could this plaster that has finally managed to stick to someone so easily allow itself to be torn off?
Huo Sili followed Jiang Qin into the elevator and then back to the president's office.
Until the CEO's office door closed, the distance between the two...
There has been no improvement; on the contrary, it has become even tighter!
As the woody scent grew clearer, Jiang Qin couldn't resist turning around abruptly and glaring at Huo Sili.
Why are you following me?
Her face clearly showed disgust, and when Huo Sili met her gaze, he was visibly taken aback.
In an instant, his expression returned to normal, and his thin lips curled up slightly.
"I'd like to get takeout today too. There's no law against me getting takeout, is there?"
The law doesn't actually stipulate it, but it's not. How can you bring up the law for this?
Jiang Qin didn't know what to say, and really didn't have anything to say to Huo Sili.
I put the lunch bag on the table and prepared to go out to wash my hands and come back to eat.
No sooner had he put his things down than Horstley put his things down on the empty space on the table next to him.
Jiang Qin was getting annoyed. "What are you doing here?" This is her workstation!
Huo Sili's voice was exceptionally matter-of-fact: "The entire Huo Corporation is mine, can't I put it aside for a moment?"
"..."
"Okay." Jiang Qin nodded.
Yes, I forgot, they were originally from two different worlds.
Before the divorce, she had already resigned from her job at Huo's, and after that, she couldn't just go back to any company.
Jiang Qin suddenly laughed, "That's right, I forgot. This seat wasn't originally mine. I was too possessive and forgot that you're the boss and I'm just an employee who can be replaced at any time. I'm sorry, President Huo, I was just unaware of my own limitations."
Forget about workstations; if the boss is unhappy, you can be fired in a heartbeat.
Labor lawsuit? He's rich and willful, he'll pay whatever he wants, he's a big boss who's more real than a pearl, he's not short of money.
She was indeed wrong this time. She had been practicing the principle of separating public and private matters for so long, but now that she was about to leave her job, she had forgotten about it.
She was wrong.
“Qin…”
Before Huo Sili could say anything, Jiang Qin opened the door and went out, the door clicking shut behind her.
Having lived for twenty-eight years, this was the first time Huo Sili had ever wanted to travel back in time and slap himself.
Couldn't he have spoken properly just now?
The door opened, and Horstley strode out.
I had just stepped into the corridor when I suddenly stopped.
Ahead, with his back to Jiang Qin, stood a man.
"Big brother? Your leg is better?"
She looked up at the person and spoke to them, her pleasant voice clearly filled with joy.
