Chapter 218 His Engagement Letter to Someone Else
The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the ticking of the clock seemed particularly clear at this moment, as if every second was infinitely stretched.
Qiao Qin sat next to Huo Yan, holding his hand tightly, her eyes full of anxiety and worry. From time to time, she touched Huo Yan's forehead with her hand, feeling the scorching heat, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger.
"Yan, you must get better soon." Qiao Qin murmured softly, with a slight tremor in her voice. Her brows were furrowed, her face was pale, and she was in a state of extreme tension.
Outside the window, the night slowly enveloped the earth. The lights in the room seemed a little dim, giving people a depressing feeling.
Time seemed to be extremely long, and every minute seemed like a century.
Qiao Qin kept praying in her heart, hoping that the doctor would arrive soon. Her hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and her fingers were a little white from the force.
"Ding-dong-"
Finally, the doorbell rang. Qiao Qin felt like she heard the sound of nature. She quickly got up and opened the door.
The private doctor walked in hurriedly, carrying a medical box. He brought professional medical equipment and quickly came to Huo Yan's side.
The doctor's expression was serious and earnest. He first took out a thermometer to measure Huo Yan's temperature, and then used a stethoscope to carefully listen to Huo Yan's heartbeat and breathing. His movements were skillful and professional, and his eyes revealed concentration and calmness.
"Doctor, how is he?" Qiao Qin asked anxiously, her voice full of worry.
The doctor did not answer immediately, but continued to examine Huo Yan's body carefully.
After a while, he raised his head, looked at Qiao Qin and said, "Don't worry, let me first understand his recent symptoms and living conditions."
Qiao Qin quickly told the person in front of him about Huo Yan's recent busy work and tired state. The doctor listened and nodded slightly, then asked some other questions.
Followed by.
He opened the medical box and took out some medicines. "From the current situation, Mr. Huo is weak due to overwork and has a decreased resistance, so he has a fever. I will prescribe some antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs for him. Make sure he takes the medicine on time." The doctor said seriously.
Qiao Qin nodded repeatedly, tears flashing in her eyes, "Thank you, I will definitely take good care of him."
After the private doctor left, Qiao Qin sat next to Huo Yan, gently stroking his cheek, her voice gentle but firm, "Yan, did you hear that? The doctor said you need to rest well, and you must get better soon."
Huo Yanhui held her hand and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry too much."
Qiao Qin looked at his weak appearance, her heart full of pity, and gently wiped his forehead with a wet towel, her movements gentle and delicate.
"You've worked so hard. I can take care of myself. You don't have to work so hard." Qiao Qin said softly, her voice gentle and low, like pleasant music, echoing in Huo Yan's ears. Her eyes were full of heartache, and she hoped Huo Yan could pay more attention to her health.
Huo Yan opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qiao Qin's worried face. A warm feeling surged in his heart. His eyes were filled with love and emotion. Looking at Qiao Qin, he seemed to see the most precious treasure in his life.
"No, Qin'er, I will take good care of you. This is my responsibility." Although Huo Yan's voice was weak, it was full of determination and there was a gleam in his eyes.
Qiao Qin sighed helplessly and said, "Then you should get better soon, otherwise I will be worried."
After a while.
She got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge, then carefully fed it to Huo Yan. The century egg and lean meat porridge exuded a faint aroma, warm and delicious. Qiao Qin's movements were gentle and delicate. She carefully brought the spoon to Huo Yan's mouth and watched him slowly drink a mouthful of porridge.
Huo Yan opened his mouth slightly, drank a mouthful of porridge, and then said softly: "Qin'er, it's great to have you."
Qiao Qin smiled, her cheeks slightly red, and lowered her head embarrassedly.
Two days later, under Qiao Qin's careful care, Huo Yan recovered quickly. His face regained its former radiance, his eyes were full of vitality, and as usual, he sent Qiao Qin to work in high spirits.
The morning sun shone on them. Huo Yan gently opened the car door for Qiao Qin, then helped her get in the car with gentle and considerate movements.
After two days of companionship, their relationship seemed to be getting better and better.
That afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the office windows, onto the ground, forming patches of warm light.
Qiao Qin sat at her desk, tapping the table lightly with the pen in her hand. She looked out the window from time to time, secretly looking forward to the moment when she would get off work.
Her face was filled with a faint happiness because she knew that no matter how busy he was, Huo Yan would always try his best to pick her up after get off work.
However, at this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly. Qiao Qin picked up the phone and saw that it was Huo Yan calling.
A sweet feeling surged in her heart and she quickly answered the phone.
"Qin'er, something happened at the company. I can't pick you up. I'll ask the driver to pick you up." Huo Yan's voice was full of apology. There was a hint of fatigue in his tone, but more of it was love for Qiao Qin.
Qiao Qin said gently: "It's okay, just do your thing and don't tire yourself out. Work is important, but your health is also important. I can go back by myself."
Qiao Qin's voice was very gentle. She didn't want Huo Yan to feel guilty for not being able to pick her up from get off work, so she tried to make her tone sound light-hearted and cheerful.
Huo Yan heard the concern in Qiao Qin's words, and his heart warmed. He said, "Qin'er, you are always so considerate. You should also take good care of yourself and the baby. When I am done with this, I will spend more time with you."
Qiao Qin raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Okay, the baby and I are waiting for you. Just work with peace of mind and don't be too anxious."
The two of them spent some time affectionately talking on the phone, expressing their thoughts and concerns for each other.
Huo Yan said: "Qin'er, did you miss me today? I've been thinking about you the whole time."
Qiao Qin blushed and replied, "Of course I miss you. I always feel like something is missing when you're not around."
Huo Yan asked again: "Is the baby well behaved today? Has he been naughty?"
Qiao Qin smiled and said: "The baby is very well behaved. Maybe he knows that his dad is working hard and is very sensible."
These words flowed through each other's hearts like sweet syrup, and they felt deeply happy. Finally, they hung up the phone reluctantly.
Qiao Qin put down her phone and a happy smile appeared on her face. She sorted out the documents on the table and prepared to go home.
At this time, Jia Lulu was also getting ready to get off work. She heard the entire conversation between the two and joked, "Mr. Huo is such a good man. I want to find a husband like him in the future."
Jia Lulu's eyes were full of envy and yearning. She always felt that Qiao Qin was very lucky to meet a man like Huo Yan who was both handsome and gentle and considerate. At the same time, she also longed to find a good man like Huo Yan and have a happy and fulfilling love.
Qiao Qin's eyes sparkled with mischief, and she smiled and said, "I can introduce you to someone."
Qiao Qin knew Jia Lulu was joking, but she couldn't help but want to tease her.
Jia Lulu waved her hands hastily, with a determined expression on her face, "No, no, I still put my career first."
She always put work first and felt that now was not the time to consider relationship issues, so she decisively rejected Qiao Qin's proposal.
Qiao Qin smiled understandingly and also felt that women should have their own careers and pursuits and should not rely solely on men. She walked out of the office with Jia Lulu, chatting as they walked.
"How is your work going lately? Are you busy?" Qiao Qin asked with concern.
Jia Lulu showed a tired expression on her face and sighed, "I'm so busy. There are too many projects recently. The pressure is so great."
She has been very busy recently and has to work overtime until very late every day to complete her work tasks. She feels that she is almost suffocated by the work.
Qiao Qin's eyes were full of concern, and she comforted him, "Don't be too tired, take care of your body, there is always work to be done, and you should relax appropriately."
Jia Lulu nodded and asked with concern: "I will pay attention. How about you, Sister Qiao? You are so tired even when you are pregnant. You should pay more attention to rest."
Qiao Qin smiled, with a happy smile on her face: "I'm fine, Huo Yan takes good care of me, doesn't let me work overtime, and picks me up and drops me off at get off work every day. He is always worried that I'm tired, but I'm also worried that he's tired."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the elevator. The office corridor was exceptionally quiet at this moment, with only their footsteps and soft laughter echoing in the air.
However, when they walked out of the building, a figure suddenly blocked their way.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the figure, as if covering her with a mysterious veil.
She was a beautiful young woman, wearing branded clothing, every detail of which showed luxury and refinement. Her clothes were well-cut and of excellent texture, gleaming slightly under the sunlight. The color combination of her clothes was just right, neither ostentatious nor lacking in nobility, highlighting her elegant temperament.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright and sharp eyes. She stared at Qiao Qin closely, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, mixed with some complex emotions, making it difficult to understand.
"Are you Qiao Qin?" The woman's voice was crisp and cold, like ice in winter, with an air of superiority.
Qiao Qin nodded, a trace of doubt rising in her heart. She didn't understand why this strange woman would block her way, and she didn't understand why she knew her name.
next second.
However, the woman raised her chin slightly, and her voice was full of confidence and pride, as if she was announcing an indisputable fact, "Let me introduce myself. I am Yan Xuexue, Huo Yan's fiancée."
Qiao Qin and Jia Lulu were both stunned. Jia Lulu opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of shock. Her eyes moved back and forth between Qiao Qin and Yan Xuexue, as if confirming this shocking news.
Qiao Qin also widened her eyes, with disbelief written all over her face.
"Impossible, I've never heard of Yan having a fiancée." Qiao Qin's voice trembled slightly, and her first reaction was denial.
Yan Xuexue looked at Qiao Qin with a hint of provocation in her eyes, and her gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Qiao Qin.
She raised her chin slightly, with a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth, as if she was sure of victory. "My grandfather was kind to Mr. Huo, and we were engaged since childhood, but later, our family went abroad and gradually lost contact. If you don't believe me, I have proof here."
As she spoke, Yan Xuexue elegantly took out a yellowed piece of paper from her exquisite handbag.
The paper looked particularly old in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the traces of time were clearly visible. Although the handwriting on the paper was a little blurry, it was still recognizable as an engagement letter.
Qiao Qin's eyes fell on those three words, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart as if she was struck by lightning. Her eyes widened instantly, her eyes were full of shock and pain, her hands were clenched tightly together, her nails dug deep into her palms, but she seemed to feel no pain, trying to keep herself calm.
"Ms. Yan, I didn't know you were engaged to Huo Yan, but now he and I already have a family and a child." Qiao Qin's voice trembled slightly, but was full of determination. Tears flashed in her eyes, and she still looked at Yan Xuexue stubbornly.
Yan Xuexue sneered, and her laughter was like an ice cone, piercing Qiao Qin's heart.
"It's okay. I don't mind. As a man, every man has a few lovers outside, especially someone of Brother Huo's status."
Her eyes were full of contempt and disdain, as if Qiao Qin was just an insignificant existence.
Jia Lulu couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up to protect Qiao Qin, with anger burning in her eyes.
"Don't go too far! Sister Qiao and Mr. Huo are very happy now. What right do you have to destroy them?" Jia Lulu's voice was loud and firm, and her body leaned forward slightly, as if she was ready to fight for Qiao Qin at any time.
Yan Xuexue looked at Jia Lulu with contempt, as if she was looking at an ant, and said in a cold and arrogant voice, "This is a matter between us. It has nothing to do with you."
Qiao Qin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and looked at Yan Xuexue with firm eyes, as if a flame was burning in them.
"I won't leave Huo Yan. I love him and he loves me too. Our family is built by our joint efforts. I won't give up easily." Qiao Qin's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of determination. Her eyes were as firm as a rock. She raised her chin slightly, and the sunlight sprinkled on her delicate little face, adding a touch of determination to her.
Yan Xuexue looked at Qiao Qin's determined eyes and was slightly startled. The determination in the other's eyes surprised her, but soon, she returned to her arrogant look, narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, which was full of disdain and contempt.
"Humph, do you think you can keep him? Brother Huo has always been filial. Our family has done a favor to his grandfather and him. In order to repay the favor, he must marry me."
Yan Xuexue's voice was cold and sharp, stabbing at Qiao Qin like a sharp blade. Every word seemed to carry a bone-chilling chill that made people shudder.
Her eyes flashed with confidence and pride, as if she had already won.
Qiao Qin bit her lips tightly, her lips turning slightly pale: "I believe Huo Yan, the relationship between us is not something you can easily destroy."
Although her voice was not loud, it was full of power and her eyes flashed with determination, which showed her trust in Huo Yan.
Jia Lulu stood aside, her face flushed with anger, her eyes burning with rage, her hands on her hips, her body leaning forward slightly, like an angry little lion.
"Why are you so unreasonable? Sister Qiao and Mr. Huo are so in love, why do you want to interfere?"
Yan Xuexue ignored Jia Lulu and just stared at Qiao Qin, her eyes full of hostility and provocation, as if she was declaring war on Qiao Qin.
"Just wait and see, I will definitely make Brother Huo come back to me." After saying that, she turned around and walked away in her high heels. The sound of her high heels echoed in the silent air, as if it was a threat. Qiao Qin and Jia Lulu were left standing there with mixed feelings.
Qiao Qin frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety and confusion.
Jia Lulu looked at Qiao Qin's worried expression, feeling distressed, and said softly, "Sister Qiao, ignore her. Mr. Huo will definitely not leave you."
Qiao Qin forced a smile, but she couldn't calm down.
