Chapter 48 Covered by His Large Hand
If it's clean, is tonight okay?
In an instant, it felt as if several thunderbolts exploded in Jiang Qin's mind, and her heart began to pound wildly.
Afraid of getting too close and being noticed by him, Jiang Qin quickly pushed away from Huo Sili's chest and moved away from him. Then, forcing herself to remain calm, she firmly and calmly replied with two words, "No."
Before he could react, Jiang Qin glanced at Huo Sili, pried his hands off her waist, and preemptively spoke again.
"Because I'm going to take good care of my health next."
Huo Sili frowned slightly, and Jiang Qin continued, "My stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, and I haven't had any appetite. Didn't Wang Ma at home also notice that my appetite has changed? It's because of this."
"Now when I have my period, my lower abdomen hurts from time to time, and it feels more painful than before."
As Jiang Qin spoke, she frowned, clearly looking very worried about her condition.
"Does it hurt more than before?" Horst's voice suddenly broke in.
Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow slightly, and calmly concluded, "Yes."
She looked him in the eye and said very seriously, "That's why I'm going to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a good look at me."
Horst remained silent.
But obviously it wasn't for anything else; it was because at that very moment, his phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
It was clearly an incoming call ringtone.
Jiang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him profusely for his timely help, and reminded him, "Your phone."
Huo Sili hummed in agreement and finally released his grip on her waist.
With the danger over, Jiang Qin didn't want to stay in the same room with Huo Sili any longer.
He offered, "I'm going out for a walk. You can answer me from inside."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back, thinking that he had some free time and the weather was alright, so he could go to the rooftop garden to enjoy the flowers and take a walk.
Huo Sili paused slightly and looked at Jiang Qin, but the woman only showed him her back.
He looks carefree yet ruthless.
Huo Sili frowned, glanced at his phone on the bedside table, and after two seconds, went into the room.
A moment later, Jiang Qin, who was admiring the flowers in the rooftop garden outside, heard footsteps behind her.
She glanced back instinctively and saw Huo Sili approaching her with his phone in his hand.
"I'm going out for a bit and won't be back until around dinner time. Try not to go out again. He Xu will be coming over with his bodyguard team in a little while."
On weekdays, He Xu is Huo Sili's special assistant, responsible for assisting Huo Sili in handling official business.
On non-working days, he was one of Horsley's confidants, responsible for handling various affairs for Horsley.
Jiang Qin had known this for a long time, so she wasn't surprised.
Furthermore, her face still hurt a little. She had personally experienced how arrogant someone could be when Huo Sili wasn't around. Moreover, Huo Sili had already stated that He Xu had brought bodyguards, undoubtedly to protect her safety.
"Okay, I understand," Jiang Qin replied.
That's all. I had no other presumptuous thoughts, so I sent someone to protect her.
The old lady threw a spoon at him today, and she saw it. In the end, Horsley just didn't want to upset the old lady anymore because of her.
As for where Huo Sili went or who he went with, Jiang Qin didn't care at all.
It's funny, though. He used to be the reason she felt at ease. Whenever he was around, she felt especially at ease and could do anything more relaxed.
But now, watching the elevator carrying Horstley descend and enter Plum Garden.
She finally felt relieved.
……
"So, Qinqin really only quit her job because she didn't like it?"
As night approached eight o'clock, on the first floor of the main building, after dinner, Yuan Lianqing pushed Huo Chishen away, while Jiang Qin, Huo Sili, and the old lady sat facing each other on the sofa in the living room.
Zhou Fu stood behind the old lady, and Sister Wu stood beside her. Upon hearing this, both of them looked at Jiang Qin and Huo Sili with obvious nervousness.
Thinking about what happened this morning, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
However, having come this far, Jiang Qin nodded firmly, showing no intention of backing down.
Meeting Qiu Huilan's more serious expression than usual, Jiang Qin spoke earnestly.
"Yes, Grandma, I really only want to quit my job because I don't like it. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would worry too much. But after thinking about it, I think if I don't change industries, I'm afraid I will regret it in the future."
Qiu Huilan fell silent. She was a powerful businesswoman in her youth, so she naturally knew the importance of doing things early.
But then, as if thinking of something, Qiu Huilan frowned again.
"Well, since it has nothing to do with your relationship, Qinqin, why did you cut your wrists last time? Don't lie in front of Grandma."
How did we end up here?
As for leaving the company, Jiang Qin didn't feel anything special.
You can bring that up.
Feeling somewhat conflicted, she looked at Huo Sili.
When Qiu Huilan saw this, she looked at Huo Sili and her face instantly turned sour.
"Well, you little rascal, I knew it!..."
“Grandma, no.” Jiang Qin interrupted.
Qiu Huilan paused as she was about to pick up a teacup from the coffee table. She looked at Jiang Qin, her expression softening. "What is that? Qinqin, tell Grandma the truth, but don't take his side!"
Jiang Qin paused for a moment, but how could she not help?
Even a healthy young woman would have a heart attack if she heard those words.
Besides, what about the old lady's current health condition?
However, at that moment, Jiang Qin's hand, which was resting on her knee, was covered by a large hand that reached out from beside her.
Jiang Qin was startled and looked at Huo Sili.
