Chapter 129 A rare harmonious relationship
He was careful with every word he said, fearing that he would touch Qiao Qin's sensitive and fragile heartstrings. He knew the feeling of losing her was like being swallowed by the night, and he never wanted to experience that endless emptiness and despair again.
Qiao Qin nodded gently and uttered a weak "hmm".
Although she and Huo Yan have separated, the child is an inseparable bond between them. She knows that as the baby's father, Huo Yan has the right to visit the child, and she cannot and does not want to deprive him of this right.
So, Qiao Qin slightly turned sideways to make way for Huo Yan to reach the baby's bed. She motioned for him to look at the sleeping Huo Siqian. The little guy's face looked particularly peaceful in the moonlight.
Followed by.
Qiao Qin's gaze then drifted back to the design drawing in her hand and she continued to pick up the pen.
The breeze blew gently, bringing the coolness of the night, while the bright moonlight poured down like a clear spring, covering the entire living room with a hazy silver gauze.
Huo Yan gently rocked Huo Siqian in his arms, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid to disturb the child's dreams.
However, his eyes drifted to Qiao Qin who was not far away from him from time to time. She lowered her head and examined the drawings in her hands with full concentration. The seriousness between her eyebrows was like the brightest star in the night sky, which could not be ignored.
It seemed like they hadn't lived in such harmony for a long time. There were no quarrels, no estrangements, just each other's presence and a touch of warmth.
Huo Yan greedily enjoyed the beauty of this moment, as if time had stopped at this moment. Only the three of them, the quiet night and the soft moonlight, together formed the most beautiful picture.
However, on this seemingly peaceful night, everything seemed to be just a carefully woven illusion.
Qiao Qin suddenly felt a burning gaze, burning her skin like a raging fire. She slowly raised her head and met Huo Yan's gaze unexpectedly.
The deep and complex gaze made her feel inexplicably irritated. She frowned slightly and was about to ask, but she heard Huo Yan speak before her.
"You go and have rest. I'll take care of the children tonight." Huo Yan's voice was low and firm, as if carrying an unquestionable power.
Qiao Qin frowned, still a little hesitant.
Huo Yan smiled helplessly and continued, "Si Qian is my only child, how could I possibly hurt him."
Qiao Qin pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
Designing the Queen's crown, this dazzling work of art, undoubtedly required her to devote a lot of effort and energy. So at this moment, she felt unprecedented fatigue, especially the sore neck and stiff wrists.
After handing the baby to Huo Yan, Qiao Qin returned to her room, washed up briefly, and couldn't wait to lie down on the soft bed. Fatigue surged like a tide, drowning her in a deep dream.
Time passed quickly like running water, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day to submit the drawings.
As usual, Ellison gathered everyone in the conference room of the Royal Hotel.
He looked around with a friendly smile on his face, but his eyes were moving among the crowd, as if looking for a familiar figure.
"Where's Qiao Qin?" He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his voice, "Why hasn't she come yet?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked around, but they still couldn't see Qiao Qin.
Jia Lulu arrived at the box first and explained, "Sister Qiao was delayed because of something. She will be here soon."
In fact, because Huo Siqian was ill, too much time was wasted and Qiao Qin had not yet completed the design drawing. Fortunately, only the final coloring part was left and it would be completed soon.
Ellison didn't think much about it. He nodded gently with a casual smile on his face and said, "In that case, let's chat while waiting for Joe to arrive."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. People were sometimes talking and laughing loudly, and sometimes whispering to each other, as if they were in a sea of joy.
However, this warm atmosphere did not infect Jia Lulu. She did not like this kind of noise very much. After a few drinks, she found an excuse to get up and go to the bathroom.
As Jia Lulu came out of the bathroom, a shadow fell in front of her eyes.
"You've really made it!" Yu Haisheng's voice was cold and sharp. He had a mocking smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a deep chill. "You didn't answer the phone, you didn't reply to messages, and you didn't get any results from the design I asked you to steal. Are you planning to give up your innocence and future?"
His words were like sharp blades, cutting into Jia Lulu's heart again and again, making her face turn pale in an instant.
A brief panic rippled in the depths of Jia Lulu's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. She remembered Mr. Huo's promise to her, and an inexplicable power suddenly surged in her heart, allowing her to regain her composure.
Jia Lulu took a deep breath and her voice was calm and firm.
"Whatever I want to do or say is my own business. I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Yu Haisheng was irritated by her attitude. The muscles on his face twitched slightly and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He stared at Jia Lulu coldly, as if he wanted to penetrate her soul.
"Haha, so naive. Is it worth giving up your innocence and future for a stranger you've only known for a few days?"
However, there was no sign of hesitation on Jia Lulu's face. She looked straight at Yu Haisheng with a determined light in her eyes.
"Yu Haisheng, I really look down on you. If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. You better take care of yourself."
Her words were so powerful that they struck Yu Haisheng's heart.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Lulu took a step without hesitation, lightly passed by Yu Haisheng, and left without looking back.
Yu Haisheng stood there, staring at her departing back. The anger in his heart was as fierce as a storm. His chest heaved violently, as if endless anger was burning in his chest.
"Damn it!"
"You will definitely regret it if you do too much evil!"
Yu Haisheng's expression became extremely ugly, and he spoke with gritted teeth. Soon he returned to the dinner party again. There was no sign of anything unusual on his face, except that he would occasionally glare at Jia Lulu fiercely.
Jia Lulu looked calm and didn't take the other party's threats seriously at all.
at this time.
The door of the box opened again, and Qiao Qin walked out breathlessly, obviously having hurried all the way.
Ellison immediately stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "Joe, you are finally here."
"Sorry, I was delayed by something." Qiao Qin said.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a sarcastic voice was heard.
"How can you be so embarrassed to let so many of us wait for you?"
