Chapter 98 - ~A Hug~
"But-"
Qiao Xin's words came to a halt when Xiao Long's sturdy arms had already grabbed her very tightly. Qiao Xin's body flexed strongly, her body instantly froze perfectly. How could it not be? Being hugged like this by Xiao Long was beyond her expectation, and more than that, Qiao Xin felt that what she was doing was not a good thing.
While Xiao Long seemed to be speechless, he even felt so calm and comfortable. His heart felt so warm, and he never thought it would be this warm and cozy when he hugged Qiao Xin's tiny body. Yes, the Qiao Xin in his arms was very petite.
"Is this also what the chip in your brain said?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. Xiao Long nodded his head, and then he took another deep breath.
"Did you just know that? Actually, I really hate all this. But my chip has ordered something very strange, the exact opposite of what I wanted."
"Is that possible? So what makes sense in all of that? How come, a chip told you to kiss me, and now hugs me?" Qiao Xin asked stupidly.
Xiao Long looked surprised by Qiao Xin's clever question, then he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Yes, sleeping is a good thing that Xiao Long can do because by sleeping, then Qiao Xin will not ask much anymore.
Qiao Xin looked up, seeing Xiao Long, who didn't answer her question. She seemed to understand now how Xiao Long didn't respond; it turned out that the man was already asleep. Xiao Long's breathing seemed very irregular, precisely the same as his chest, which seemed so calm. Qiao Xin then looked at Xiao Long with her sweet smile, and then she touched Xiao Long's pointed nose. The last few days, why is this man so lovely? Even though Qiao Xin was sure because of the effect of the chip, at least for now, Xiao Long was a pleasant person to her, not constantly cursing her badly and not getting into fights.
"Good evening, Mr. Han," Qiao Xin whispered. Then she settled her sleep by crouching down facing Xiao Long, leaning her face against Xiao Long's chest. Warm and calm, that was how Qiao Xin felt now.
Xiao Long, who seemed to know everything Qiao Xin had done to him, smiled, then he closed his eyes again. Xiao Long is sure that tonight he will sleep very soundly. Even Xiao Long will wake up early. For some reason, he felt so peaceful. All the burdens that were on his shoulders seemed to be lifted.
Xiao Long seemed to be frowning in the morning, even though his shoulders hurt from Qiao Xin sleeping there all night. But apparently, it didn't matter at all to Xiao Long, and the problem now was, where was Qiao Xin? Why wasn't Qiao Xin in her place? When Xiao Long fingered his phone, his eyes bulged perfectly. How not, twenty missed calls from Tao and fifteen messages. Even now, it's 10:00 in the morning. How could he wake up so late like this? Xiao Long had no idea that his dream of sleeping well and waking up late would come true. An extraordinary thing even made Xiao Long could only stare at his phone with his mouth wide open.
"Xiao Long, what are you doing? Were you drunk last night, until the next morning you couldn't even get up?" asked Xiao Chuan, who was already in his grandson's room. Xiao Long quickly went into the bathroom, cleaned himself up then got ready to go to work. Before he even ran out of the room, he went back into the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror as if to make sure he looked perfect now. How could it not be, now? In front of Qiao Xin, he had to be an incredibly ideal figure. Even so perfect, Xiao Long wanted to prove to the world that he was a person that no one could beat. Yes, Xiao Long had to do that because he also didn't want his life to be taken by Xuan Cheng. The most annoying man in Xiao Long's life.
"Grandpa I go first."
"I called Chen to pick you up, now he's outside."
"Okay."
On the other hand, Qiao Xin had already established herself. She entered the company while wearing her wedding ring. Even later, if Mei asked about this ring, Qiao Xin was ready to answer everything correctly and adequately. Yes, all night long, even when she woke up, Qiao Xin had thought all this through. She would no longer hesitate in carrying out her contract marriage with Xiao Long. Even though she was still hiding the status of the man who married her, Qiao Xin's marital relationship matter really wouldn't be in doubt at all.
"Qiao Xin!" shouted Mei, who left for the office this early in the morning. Her best friend seemed to wave her hand high at Qiao Xin, making Qiao Xin seem a little confused. Either way, there must be something strange here, and Qiao Xin is quite curious about what's going on now.
"What's wrong, Mei? Why do you look so panicked? Did something happen?" Qiao Xin asked after she approached her best friend. Even now, she had forgotten about her preparations to explain about her wedding ring.
"Now the production department of Weijing Group will hold meetings and meetings with our business relations regarding material issues, and so on. Incidentally, Mr. Li was also ordered to handle this matter, and Mr. Li invited the two of us to come along," explained Mei. Her breath was panting. Even Mei's pale face looked bright red now.
"Then what's wrong with that, Mei? Haven't we also been to many meetings with the production department?" Qiao Xin then asked.
Mei also seemed to be looking at Qiao Xin with a confused expression on her face, whether to say it or not.
"I want to say something, but I'm afraid you won't be able to hear it."
"What? Tell me, what can't I hear? Even I have heard a lot of bad things during this time, Mei."
"The business partner of the Weijing Group in question is, W Corporation, Jiang Min's company," Mei explained at last.
Qiao Xin seemed to be speechless, meeting Jiang Min under these conditions, and what's worse is that she is in a subsidiary of the Han Corporation. Is that a proper thing? Even Qiao Xin was now at a loss as to what to do.
"Qiao Xin, you really don't need to worry and worry, you don't know that Weijing Group is a company of the Han Corporation. If you really want revenge isn't this a good thing? just tell them, if Mr. Han orders you to be fired from Jiang Min's company simply because Mr. Han wants to make you his employee, that way you will become a respectable woman, and they will regret having humiliated you in public. I'm pretty sure they'll never even have a face again when they see you."
"However, what if Mr. Han comes? Everything will fall apart, and Mr. Han will definitely tell them that I was just boasting, in the end, the one who gets more embarrassed is me, I don't want to be embarrassed anymore. It's enough that I've humiliated myself all this time in front of him, and my dismissal was the last time."
"Then you just want to be quiet, like that, Qiao Xin?" upset Mei. Qiao Xin was silent again, causing Mei to glance over and take a deep breath as she looked at her best friend. "I know now that Mr. Han is not what Mr.Han used to be to you, you can say this, and I'm sure that Mr. Han will also never mind. This is your pride, Qiao Xin."
"You mean?" Qiao Xin asked with a stupid look on her face, and Mei took another deep breath, then she hit Qiao Xin's head.
"I'm sure you know what I mean, and I'm sure one day you'll tell me about what happened between you and Mr. Han."
"Mei …."
"Now the most important thing, it's not a matter of explanation, Mr. Han also doesn't seem to be coming to the Weijing Group today, so I think you are a little arrogant is necessary, let them completely shut their mouths. Is that enough to make you happy to just keep them from moving?" Qiao Xin was silent again, even as if she didn't know what to say now. "Sometimes, we may also seek revenge, not because we are evil or because we will become evil just like them. but because we also have the right to guard our hearts against the pain we feel. Qiao Xin, this is a gamble for yourself, if you keep quiet you will forever be bullied by them, would you like that to happen?"
Qiao Xin seemed to shake her head, and then she smiled faintly at her best friend.
"Well, I will teach Jiang Min a little lesson, so that he no longer judges friendship just because of money, I myself would never want my parents to be forgotten by Jiang Min too, and be hurt by this insult. the company he started with me, instead I was kicked in the company in an unpleasant way, and I will swear I will never forget, much less forgive anything Jiang Min has done to me."
"Now! I totally agree with what you said, Qiao Xin! I will always be by your side to defend and encourage you to make Jiang Min shut his trash mouth!"
