"Ah?" Tong Qiao didn't understand, "What's wrong with me?"
"Why are you adding fuel to the fire if you don't persuade me?"
"I..." Tong Qiao was speechless for a moment, "Daughter-in-law, can you please be reasonable? I am here for you, unconditionally."
Shu Xin also knew that she had gone too far, but she was so conflicted now. She was very angry, but she also hoped that Tong Qiao would put in a good word for Huo Yanqing, saying that he did this because he cared about her, and that he was doing it entirely because of jealousy.
But if Tong Qiao really said that, she would definitely be even more angry, feeling that even Tong Qiao couldn't understand her.
Shu Xin lowered his head, feeling like a ball of cotton had been stuffed into his heart. He was so congested, so uncomfortable, and so depressed that it was difficult to relieve himself. "I don't want to be reasonable."
"..." Tong Qiao nodded, "Okay, you are a pregnant woman and you have the power. So tell me, what do you want?"
Shu Xin looked at Tong Qiao with a troubled expression, "I just feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. How about Qiao'er, can you take me back to Fancheng? Maybe I can't see him, and I won't be so upset."
"You feel even more upset when you can't see him."
Shu Xin, "..." Can't you be so direct? Huo Yanqing had been really having a bad time in the capital these days. She had no appetite for food, couldn't sleep, and felt like she had lost her soul.
It's just that she never admitted that she was so spineless and didn't want to admit that she couldn't live without him.
"I'll give him an ideological education class and let him admit his mistakes to you. Then you'll be fine." Tong Qiao said and was about to get up.
Shu Xin pulled Tong Qiao and said, "No, don't go. I want him to admit his mistake."
Tong Qiao, "..."
"How about you take me out for a walk?"
"Okay." Tong Qiao went back to the room and took a long windbreaker and handed it to Shu Xin, "Put it on."
Shu Xin frowned, "I'm not cold."
"It's cold outside at night. You are pregnant, so you should keep warm."
Shu Xin felt warm in her heart and put her clothes on her arms, "I'll wear them when I go out."
The two of them went downstairs. Shu Xin caught a glimpse of Tang Qingya on the other side of the sofa, turning her head and smiling and talking to Huo Yanqing. Huo Yanqing's face was invisible to Shu Xin. She didn't know what his expression was. All she could see was the back of his neatly trimmed head.
Not long after Shu Xin and Tong Qiao went out, Huo Yan stood up and walked towards the door.
Tang Qingya asked: "Yanqing, do you want to go out so late?"
"Buy cigarettes." Huo Yan said without looking back.
Shu Xin and Tong Qiao were shopping outside. Tong Qiao wouldn't let her eat anything, saying that the food outside was unhygienic. Shu Xin was bored shopping and came back soon.
When she was approaching the villa, Shu Xin saw Huo Yanqing standing under the street lamp.
White light poured down from above his head, creating a small figure on the ground. He put one hand in his pocket, lowered his head and didn't know what he was looking at. Sparks flickered between his fingers.
Is he smoking
Didn’t you quit smoking
Shu Xin saw him raise his head and quickly looked away before he could look over.
Tong Qiao came close to Shu Xin's ear and whispered, "Would you like to say a few words to him?"
"Don't tell me." Shu Xin quickened her pace, and when she walked past Huo Yanqing, she didn't look away as if she hadn't seen him.
He hadn't taken a few steps away when his wrist was held by someone. It was a familiar temperature and a familiar touch. Without turning her head, Shu Xin knew that it was Huo Yanqing who was holding her.
Shu Xin didn't look back and turned her wrist, trying to take her hand out.
Huo Yanqing's deep voice sounded from behind, "Xin'er, I want to hug you."
