Chapter 59 President Huo… The ingredient is folic acid, not lutein.
Two words were displayed on Jiang Qin's phone screen as a contact name.
Jiang Qin was obviously too far away to see him at that moment, but she naturally noticed Huo Sili's sudden change in expression and his wary gaze.
That was clearly not the expression he would show when he was in a good mood. Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why was he upset just because her phone was ringing? She quickly walked over, glanced at him, and said, "Give me your phone."
For some reason, Huo Sili was unusually easy to talk to this time. The moment Jiang Qin finished speaking, Huo Sili handed her the phone, but then his lips curled into a slight twitch.
Jiang Qin was puzzled by his behavior and noticed who was displayed on the phone screen.
I was even more confused, but after a short pause, I answered the call anyway.
"Hello? Big brother? Is there something you need?"
The call was from Huo Chishen. Jiang Qin really didn't know what Huo Chishen wanted to talk to her about, but after all, he was Huo Sili's older brother and also the eldest grandson of Old Madam Huo. It would be too impolite for her to just hang up on him.
Therefore, we have no choice but to accept it.
Huo Sili stared at her with his dark eyes. Jiang Qin felt his gaze on her for two seconds and didn't know what to think.
I took off my phone and turned on the speakerphone.
Huo Chishen spoke up at that moment: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if Qinqin has prepared the gift you picked out for Grandma? If not, there's an auction tomorrow night that I'm going to attend."
“There are a lot of items at that auction, but you need an identity to enter. If you’d like, I can take you with me.”
These words made Jiang Qin frown. Although she hadn't met Huo Chishen many times, she had a decent impression of him because he always appeared as a gentle and polite gentleman in front of her and wherever she looked.
However, she had a strange intuition that the auction Huo Chishen mentioned earlier was most likely the one Huo Sili had mentioned before, the one hosted by the Wen family.
This intuition made Jiang Qin even more puzzled and wary.
After all, the elder brother and his wife, though relatives, are still men and women. In public, it's one thing, but in private, they should at least avoid each other, right? Otherwise, wouldn't that just give people something to gossip about?
And if she can understand this, how could Huo Chishen, a young master who grew up in a wealthy family, not understand it?
Just then, a cool gaze fell upon her. Jiang Qin looked up and met Huo Sili's deep eyes.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, looked away, and was about to reply to Huo Chishen's words, intending to ask him if the auction he mentioned was really the one organized by the Wen family, as she thought.
But before he could open his mouth, his chin was suddenly gripped by a long, slender hand.
Jiang Qin was startled and suddenly raised her hand to try to pry it open, but because she was holding her phone in her right hand and her left wrist was injured and had just scabbed over, she didn't dare to use too much force.
Horstley, clearly seizing the opportunity, leaned down and kissed him.
Tweet!
She wasn't the first time he'd kissed her in public, but it was the first time she'd ever been kissed on the phone, especially by someone who knew about their marital relationship.
In an instant, Jiang Qin was completely stunned.
Is now a suitable time for kissing? What's wrong with this person?
Jiang Qin tried to dodge, but she couldn't just throw away her phone while holding it in her hand, and one hand was clearly no match for him.
In her helplessness, she felt a tight grip on her lower back, and he became increasingly audacious in his kisses.
"It's so embarrassing!" Jiang Qin struggled violently, trying to avoid Huo Sili's kiss, and replied to Huo Chishen.
"Brother, no, no need, thank you, I have something to do..."
That's all for now, bye-bye!
Beep, I hurriedly hung up.
The next second after hanging up, she was about to push him away with both hands, but unexpectedly, he snatched the phone away with his large hand first.
Taking advantage of his long arms, he simply put her phone back on the entryway cabinet!
Huo Sili's movements were so fluid that Jiang Qin was stunned.
In that instant of hesitation, she was once again lifted up upright by him using the same technique he used to hold a child!
The series of movements were so fast and fluid that Jiang Qin wondered if Huo Sili had rehearsed them in his mind many times.
Otherwise, how could he manage to keep her in such a passive position every time?
Jiang Qin kicked him angrily, but quickly stopped moving. "Where are you going?!"
"It's getting late, time to take a shower and go to bed."
"I...you, put me down! I'll wash myself!!"
Seeing that Huo Sili was about to carry her into the bathroom, Jiang Qin couldn't help but think of the bad intentions that someone had harbored before.
She could agree before, but now she simply cannot agree.
Putting everything else aside, it's just too dangerous to be completely naked together so late at night!
Besides, he acted like a wolf today!
With a bang, the bathroom door closed, and Horstley put her into the bathtub, kneeling down to take off her shoes.
Jiang Qin was completely stunned, not understanding what he was up to.
But the distance and the space were too dangerous, and she was hesitant to move, afraid that the reaction might provoke him.
However, Jiang Qin simply couldn't bear to watch him continue, so she stood up from the bathtub.
He tried to say something to make him give up the idea of taking a bath together.
"If you're in a hurry to take a shower, then you go ahead! I'm going back upstairs!"
As she spoke, she very considerately got out of the bathtub to give him his seat.
Before her feet even touched the ground, an arm was wrapped around her waist.
Jiang Qin's eyes widened as Huo Sili embraced her warmly from behind, his arms around her waist.
"Let's shower together." His deep, magnetic voice fell into her ear, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
Jiang Qin didn't want to, and continued to struggle, refusing: "I don't want to!"
When her struggles were in vain, he wrapped both arms around her, lowered his head and kissed her, from her earlobe to her cheek to the corner of her lips, revealing a rare tenderness in his domineering demeanor, "I won't do anything except take a bath."
Horstley's voice was unusually gentle, sounding like a reassurance.
Jiang Qin didn't believe him. She was about to say something when he turned on the shower, and they were both drenched in warm water!
Jiang Qin was furious. She hated the showerhead above her head the most when she took a shower! He knew that perfectly well!
"Hosley!" she angrily punched him.
He didn't dodge, and now that she was soaked, Jiang Qin didn't dare struggle anymore.
Medication use during pregnancy should be cautious, especially in the first trimester. The weather has recently cooled down, especially at night, and the sudden change in temperature can easily lead to a cold, which is especially true for her in the first trimester.
For the baby's sake, we have to take a bath together.
However, before washing, Jiang Qin angrily stomped on Huo Sili's foot again.
Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly, but made no further move, and even asked considerately, "Do you need the water temperature adjusted?"
……
The next day, when Jiang Qin woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. When she came downstairs, she found that Liu Ma, whom she would usually see every morning, was not there.
After breakfast, Wang Ma came to clear the dishes, and Jiang Qin thought for a moment and asked her about it.
It was then learned that Huo Sili had gone downstairs and scolded Liu Ma late last night. After that, Liu Ma packed her bags and left early this morning. She was transferred back to the old house and would never come to Yunhai Huafu again.
It has to be said that once Aunt Liu's eyes, which belonged to Yuan Lianqing, left, the air inside and outside the house seemed to become freer.
Jiang Qin was in a good mood all day, and perhaps because she was in a good mood, time flew by, and before she knew it, it was evening.
Faced with a table full of delicious food, Jiang Qin, who was hungry, really wanted to pick up her chopsticks, but thinking that someone was coming back soon, it would be impolite to start eating first. She glanced at the time and it was only six o'clock, so she decided to wait.
She planned to get up and eat some snacks that Wang Ma had specially made for her to tide her over.
But no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the black Cullinan appeared outside the door.
Hearing the sound of wheels rolling, Jiang Qin turned around in slight surprise. It was only six o'clock!
Huo Sili strode into the house, washed his hands, and sat down opposite her. When he met her eyes, he raised an eyebrow.
"What? Are you surprised to see me?"
Jiang Qin: "...No, let's eat." She was really hungry.
Huo Sili stopped teasing her. "Okay, let's eat. After we eat, we'll rest and then head to the auction."
The moment he finished speaking, Huo Sili's phone rang several times in succession.
The information about Xie Zhiya that He Xu had previously looked up has been sent over.
Huo Sili put down his chopsticks, picked them up, quickly scanned them, and his gaze stopped on the character for "female" in the gender section.
"..." He glanced at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin was eating and didn't notice him.
Huo Sili replied to He Xu: 【Understood】
Within seconds, Huo Sili's chopsticks appeared on Jiang Qin's plate.
Jiang Qin looked up: "?"
Horstley: "Don't you like this? Eat more."
Jiang Qin glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed something she liked to eat.
Jiang Qin was too hungry. She also had to go to the auction later to bid for a birthday gift for the old lady. She didn't say what she wanted to say, "I want to eat, I can pick it up myself," and just hummed in agreement.
However, just then, Horst's phone vibrated again, and a message came in.
The man pressed the shutter button and swept it over, his dark eyes suddenly turning deep.
[Mr. Huo, the results for the pills you had the research institute check this morning are in. The active ingredient is folic acid, not lutein.]
