Chapter 100 I'm already married. I have a wife, and that won't change.
"What happened? Was the driver drunk?"
In the hospital's VIP ward, Huo Sili sat down on the bench next to the bed.
Li Xueqian leaned against the headboard. Upon hearing this, her pale face swayed slightly, looking fragile and pitiful.
"No, maybe he's not familiar with the road conditions."
Nearby, Yuan Yue was peeling an apple for Li Xueqian when she heard this. The tip of the knife slipped, and the once intact strip of peel broke.
The fruit peel fell into the trash can, making a very slight sound as it hit the plastic bag.
Huo Sili noticed it in an instant, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his gaze shifted over.
"Isn't she your assistant? Wasn't she in the car with you? How come you have a broken bone, but she's completely unharmed?"
Just as Li Xueqian's gaze was about to follow Huo Sili's, Huo Sili suddenly turned his gaze back to her.
Unexpectedly, Huo Sili looked back at her again. Li Xueqian, who had wanted to study Huo Sili's mood at the moment, froze for a moment, but it was only for a blink of an eye before she returned to her pitiful state.
But in that blink of an eye, Horst seemed to have caught on, and suddenly stood up straight from the bench.
Leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, Li Xueqian's heart sank. Her expression changed slightly, but her voice was innocent and puzzled: "Brother Sili?"
Huo Sili glanced at Li Xueqian, then at Yuan Yue.
"Since you're injured, you shouldn't come to the anniversary celebration that's about to start. Just stay here and recover."
What does this mean? Is he leaving?
Li Xueqian became a little anxious, "Brother Sili, can you stay with me a little longer? My, my hand hurts."
"I'm not a painkiller. If your hand hurts, you should press the call button to call for medical help. There's no point in me staying."
“But it doesn’t hurt as much when you’re here,” Li Xueqian said with a hint of coquetry, pursing her lips as she spoke. “I got into a car accident on my way to Huo’s anniversary celebration, Brother Sili, please have pity on me.”
Huo Sili's expression didn't change much, and Li Xueqian probably thought that this was a sign that Huo Sili was softening his heart.
Looking at Horst, she suddenly added, "You used to be so good to me."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yue, who was peeling an apple next to her, lowered her head, turned to the side, and couldn't help but glance at the ceiling.
In an instant, Horstley seemed to finally realize something, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Li Xueqian, are you sure you've got something wrong?"
Horst's tone was indifferent, but sometimes it is precisely this indifference that is most like a knife.
Li Xueqian's face was a little pale, but she forced a smile and looked up at the tall Huo Sili, "What's wrong?"
Horst remained calm, but compared to before, his words were now spoken with deliberate pauses.
"You've misunderstood my feelings for you."
"The reason I'm nice to you is because you saved my life six years ago. I'm only nice to you because of the life-saving grace."
"But I have no feelings for you other than the debt of saving my life, and..."
Li Xueqian's hands, hidden beneath the white blankets of the hospital bed, were already clenched into fists. "And what?"
Huo Sili smiled slightly. "Besides, I'm already married. I have a wife, and that won't change."
“I used to think that you were an actress and would know more about relationships than I did, but now I realize that you may have misunderstood something. In that case, I’ll explain it to you.”
"I hope you won't do anything out of line again in the future."
After saying that, Huo Sili gave Li Xueqian a deep look, and then suddenly added something else.
"Do you remember what I told you before? There won't be a next time."
“But she wasn’t here today, so I’ll assume you didn’t do this ‘next time.’ But you’re an adult, you should have some self-awareness.”
Huo Sili's figure disappeared at the elevator entrance. Li Xueqian craned her neck to look, but could no longer see his shadow.
"Sister Xuexue, would you like some apples? They're all cut up."
Yuan Yue picked up the plate with both hands and handed it over.
Clang—!
The plate was overturned by Li Xueqian.
They've gone mad, they've really gone mad.
No love? No affection? How could that be?!
……
The Huo Group headquarters, eighth floor, business banquet hall.
As the anniversary celebration was about to begin, most of the invited guests and staff had arrived.
In the president's secretariat, Lin Xiaoyu looked at the empty seat next to her. In the gradually quieting banquet hall, she sent another message to Jiang Qin, but still did not receive a reply.
The unease in my heart grew stronger.
Just then, a tall and slender figure emerged from the doorway.
Lin Xiaoyu's heart, which had been pounding, calmed down; it seemed she had been overthinking things.
Sister Qin came with President Huo.
But the next second, after noticing that handsome figure had passed, no one else followed.
Lin Xiaoyu's heart, which had just relaxed, immediately jumped again.
I glanced at the time again; there were only two minutes left before the show started.
My impression of Sister Qin is that she always prepares in advance for everything she does, especially for offline events. She always arrives at the venue early, or at least ten minutes early.
When I was taking care of her before, Sister Qin also emphasized the importance of time many times.
So how could she not have arrived when the show is supposed to start in two minutes?
The time has changed again; only one minute remains.
Lin Xiaoyu finally couldn't resist, stood up, and greeted the old employee next to her.
"I'm going to the restroom."
"Go on, go on, but when you come back, bend over and keep quiet. It won't look good if the bosses see you like that," the senior employee kindly reminded her.
Lin Xiaoyu agreed and quickly walked out of the venue.
At the same time, Huo Sili, who was already standing on the high platform, cast his hawk-like gaze over, and his sword-like eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
Suddenly, all the sounds in the banquet hall seemed to quiet down, including the voice of the female host who had invited him to speak.
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo?"
"Okay, sure." Huo Sili picked up the microphone and began to speak.
A pleasant voice, steady and serious in tone, resonated throughout the banquet hall via the sound system, filling every corner of the room.
Everyone in the audience stared intently at the stage, some with admiration, some with respect, and some with fear.
Suddenly, a rapid ringing sound rang out.
A crack appeared in Horst's otherwise unfiltered statement.
At the same time, Horst's gaze fell on that seat again, and he saw that it was empty.
The phone was snatched away abruptly. After scanning the contact name, Huo Sili quickly answered the call and strode out.
The audience, who had been listening attentively the whole time, were stunned. What was going on?
……
Woof! Woof woof!
Jiang Qin was woken up by the sound of dogs barking.
Before waking up, I smelled a foul stench.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a pitch-black space where I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face. The ground below was still moving, and I could hear horns coming from one direction.
Perhaps because I had already experienced fear, I am not so afraid now.
After a while, her mind cleared up, and Jiang Qin realized that she was not on the ground.
Instead, it was in a truck that was heading somewhere unknown.
She was locked up with the dogs.
But who did this? Who could accomplish these things?
Is it... Li Xueqian?
