At six in the afternoon, Shi Xingcan laid on her bed with a confused expression. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
Had she fainted in the middle of it? Or was it just an illusion?
The winter sky was very dark. Clear moonlight poured through the gaps between the curtains, and the dim yellow bedside lamp glowed faintly.
Shi Xingcan slightly bent her waist, the soreness made her feel like she was giving up, and she laid back on the bed.
Qin Yanmo was smoking on the balcony. Shi Xingcan took a sip of water that he had poured hot water on to moisten his throat, then shouted: "Yan Mo."
Her voice was already a little hoarse, and Qin Yanmo who was outside the door did not seem to hear her, as she continued to smoke.
Shi Xingcan sighed, dragged his sore body and moved it to the balcony door, then knocked on the glass door.
Hearing the commotion, Qin Yanmo immediately turned around, opening the door and supporting Shi Xingcan with one hand, the other hand quickly closing the glass door, saying: "Why did you get out of bed?"
As Shi Xingcan laid in Yun Che's embrace, she only felt the cold energy from Yun Che's body seep into him, and could not help but shiver. "It's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."
Qin Yanmo extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, placed her back under the blanket, and smiled: "Don't worry, your husband is in good health."
Shi Xingcan said with a red face, then quietly snuggled into the blanket again, and asked: "When are we going back?"
"I called my mom. I'm sleeping here tonight."
"Huh?" Shi Xingcan was obviously not used to it, so she said awkwardly, "I want to take a bath."
"There's a bathroom here. Clothes are ready."
Shi Xingcan blinked her eyes and asked: "When did you prepare it?"
"The time after you fainted."
Just as she said that, Shi Xingcan's face flushed red, in the end, did she faint?
Thinking about the things that happened before he fainted, Shi Xingcan buried his head under the blanket and didn't say another word.
Qin Yanmo chuckled, and patted her butt through the blanket, and laughed: "Do you want a bath?"
A few seconds later, Shi Xingcan raised her head from under the blanket and only revealed a pair of bright eyes.
Qin Yanmo raised his eyebrows, and retorted, "What else?"
Shi Xingcan's face was flushed red as she nodded, crawled out from under the blanket and leaned into Qin Yanmo's embrace.
After putting away the hot water, Qin Yanmo picked her up and bathed in the bathtub that was filled with hot water with her.
The bathtub here was much smaller than the one in the villa. Qin Yanmo being by himself was perfect, and adding the fact that Shi Xingcan was a little crowded, the two of them could only stick together.
Qin Yanmo looked deeply at Shi Xingcan's snow-white, tender skin that was suffused with a faint luster. Mist lingered around her body as her already red face became even more red.
Qin Yanmo splashed some of the water on her body, and some of the water fell onto his collarbone and formed a small puddle, while others fell on his perfectly round shoulders, slid down his chest, and disappeared into the water.
Shi Xingcan had also wet a few strands of hair off her body. Shi Xingcan raised her head and looked at him with doubt.
Qin Yanmo's gaze grew deeper, and suddenly moved closer to her.
Shi Xingcan immediately retreated back, panicking like a pitiful and helpless little rabbit: "Yan, Yan Mo, I really can't go on anymore."
Qin Yanmo chuckled upon hearing that, "Do you really think I don't have any self-control in your heart?"
Shi Xingcan was not sure about his temperament, and did not know what he had been like before.
Qin Yanmo stretched out his long arm, directly pulling her to his side, smiled and kissed her forehead, then gently washed her body.
Shi Xingcan laid on the side of the bathtub as he kneaded with a red face.
After everything had been tidied up, Shi Xingcan fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Qin Yanmo's fingers gently caressed her long hair, which was still exuding a nice fragrance, but the light in his eyes grew increasingly sharp.
He picked up his phone and pressed on the screen. The faint white light made his eyes uncomfortable and on the screen, there was a message from the Zhuo Jun: Su Qing has arrived at City F.
Qin Yanmo snorted, he placed the phone on the bedside and his gaze turned serious.
Maybe the person following Shi Xingcan today was Su Qing, that crazy woman could do anything!
Just as he was about to sleep, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was Qu Zhong.
"What is it?" Qin Yanmo went straight to the point.
Ever since the last time Qu Zhong went to the time home to help him deliver a message, he had made Qu Zhong stay in the Qin family to work.
If Xiao Baozi didn't like Qu Zhong, he would have already kicked the person who didn't have any ability and would only know how to eat and wait for death.
Qu Zhong said with an unprecedented seriousness: "Chairman Qin, I need to tell you something."
"Speak." Qin Yanmo's tone was lazy, and his voice carried a bit of magnetism.
Shi Xingcan seemed to have been woken up, as she snorted and raised her head to look at Qin Yanmo in a daze.
Qin Yanmo pulled up the blanket over her shoulders and consoled her in a low voice, "It's fine, go to sleep."
Hearing that, Qu Zhong's heart felt as if it was being pierced by needles, he laughed bitterly, and said: "Su Qing called me just now."
Qin Yanmo squinted his eyes. The look in his eyes was dangerous, like a wolf in hunting. Calm, indifferent, he waited for the enemy to lower his guard before biting his throat: "Tell them to be more careful."
Qu Zhong took a deep breath and slowly said.
kohlrabi fructus's health had not been very good ever since she was sick last time, and her mind seemed to have become muddled. She would often recognize Qu Zhong as the Crooked Father.
Qu Zhong had finally coaxed her onto the bed. Just as he was about to sit on the sofa and watch TV, his phone suddenly rang.
When Qu Zhong first saw that it was an unfamiliar number, he immediately hung up. It must have been a hassle, he had received too many things.
But the person on the other side of the phone was evidently very persevering, Qu Zhong had hung up the phone a few times but still kept on ringing.
He cursed silently at how the sales pitch was getting more and more shameless. He picked up the phone and said angrily, "I'm not going to buy insurance, not buy a house, not buy a car! "Go find someone else!"
On the other side, there was a burst of pretentious laughter. A woman's boastful tone was heard, "Young Master Qu's living is even worse than I imagined."
Qu Zhong snorted, and said: "It's none of your business, if you're free, you should focus on whether your husband is looking for your mistress or not!"
Su Qing said in a cold and furious voice, "Qu Zhong, I'm warning you not to be so shameless! I have yet to settle the score with you about how you killed Meng Xi! "
Qu Zhong's heart jumped, and he anxiously said: "Su Qing!?"
Su Qing said in an extremely low voice, like a female ghost who had just walked out of hell: "I have something that I need you to do.
Qu Zhong had already calmed down by now, and said lightly: "I won't help. What happened in the past is my fault. I can't repay it, and I don't intend to get involved with your matters any longer.
Su Qing did not expect him to say that, and was stunned for a few seconds before reacting: "Don't you want to return to Young Master Qu's life?"
"I don't want to, my mom is already crazy. I have to take care of her, I don't have the strength to fight with you." Qu Zhong replied indifferently.
"Where's Han Yue? That bitch took your last deposit! Furthermore, Qin Yanmo and Shi Xingcan, that dog couple, if not for Shi Xingcan, your family would not have become like this. Back then, Qin Yanmo had even personally locked your mother up in jail! "
Qu Zhong frowned, he felt that Su Qing's cursing voice was incomparably ear-piercing, and he impatiently said: "I already said that I don't want to get involved with your matters!"
"Qu Zhong! Don't think that just because you don't want to get involved that you can escape unscathed. You were the one who caused Shi Mengxi's death and you were the one who caused Shi Jun's death.
"I know, so I want to live well." Qu Zhong's tone was still calm, this was also the reason why he was willing to work at Qin Yanmo's company.
He had done too many bad things already. If it wasn't for the stupid kohlrabi fructus, he would have chosen to continue fighting Qin Yanmo. But the current him couldn't.
The salary Qin Yanmo offered was higher than others, and he had to do fewer things than others, so why did he not stay here?
"What about your child? Don't you miss him at all? "
"Those are Shi Xingcan and Qin Yanmo's children."
When he said these words, Qu Zhong's heart uncontrollably throbbed with pain, but he continued to speak in an exasperated tone, "Bringing a pregnant woman into our family and giving me a green hat for all these years, and making me like a father, you guys are truly ruthless!"
"You!" Su Qing was at a loss for words, but finally said hatefully, "I did not expect you to become like this! "A pile of useless mud!"
"Please, don't help me." Qu Zhong's tone sounded like he was in a bad mood, he immediately hung up the phone in anger.
Qu Zhong was stunned for a few minutes, but he still called Qin Yanmo.
Qin Yanmo muttered to himself while listening to this entire matter, "I understand, I'll tell you what to do tomorrow."
Qu Zhong was startled for a few seconds, he did not think that he had his own matters to attend to. Before he could even say a word of rejection, Qin Yanmo said forcefully: "I have no right to say no."
Qu Zhong laughed bitterly, he really did not.
Qin Yanmo was too lazy to talk with him anymore. After hanging up the phone, he lay down on his soft pillow, his hands tightly wrapped around Shi Xingcan's delicate waist, and closed his eyes.
Early the next morning, Shi Xingcan was still in a half-asleep state.
A crazy dream.
In her dreams, she and Qin Yanmo did all sorts of embarrassing things in the company's resting room, and in the end, she even fainted.
Suddenly trembling, she opened her eyes and realized that it was not a dream, but what had really happened last night.
Looking at Qin Yanmo who was still sleeping beside him, Shi Xingcan slightly twisted his waist. His body still felt a little sore and numb.
She gently pulled his hand away and was about to break free from the man's grasp. Before she could heave a sigh of relief, her wrist was grabbed again and she fell back onto the bed.
Raising his eyes to meet Qin Yanmo's unfathomable eyes, the corner of his lips curled up as he asked: "Where are you going?"
Shi Xingcan looked at the time and said: "It's time for you to work."
Qin Yanmo once again hugged her in his embrace, his chin resting on her head as he smiled and said: "No rush."
Shi Xingcan wriggled her body and said: "You are the boss, you should set an example."
"Zhuo Jun is already very powerful without me taking the lead. Even if I take the lead with a lazy person like Hou Rui, he will still be happy to be late every day."
Thinking about the high-profile Hou Rui and the cold and silent Zhuo Jun, Shi Xingcan could not help but laugh and say: "Where did you get them from?"
Qin Yanmo placed one hand on her waist and the other on her head, smiling as he told her the process of how they met.
Unexpectedly, when Shi Xingcan heard this, she opened her eyes wide and asked: "Your father is still alive?"
Qin Yanmo pinched her small face and changed the topic.
Sensing that she did not want to talk much, Shi Xingcan continued to chat with her.
