433 Something’s Wrong With You
Hearing that, Su Qing nodded and replied, “I understand, Uncle. But I probably won’t have time to come here for the next few months, because I won’t be in B City. When I come back after filming the production team’s scenes, it’ll almost be the holidays in the academy. When that time comes, I’ll have more time and I can come over to play chess with you!”
“The show you’re talking about should be the one Huo Qi invested in last time, right?” Huo Jue asked directly after hearing Su Qing’s explanation.
Su Qing replied, “Yes.”
Huo Jue looked up at his son without batting an eyelid, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
!!
He had long felt that it was strange when Huo Qi told him about the investment in “Nan An” last time. So this was the reason!
Mr. Huo Jue, who saw through it but didn’t say anything, retracted his gaze. After chatting with Su Qing with a gentle smile, he got up and returned to the study. Before he left, he didn’t forget to tell Su Qing to stay for dinner before leaving.
Su Qing certainly couldn’t refuse. After nodding in agreement, she turned around and looked at Huo Qi. She thought for a moment and asked, “Didn’t you say you wanted to rest? Why are you sitting here without moving? If you’re not tired, tell me everything quickly so that I can go home.”
Hearing that, Huo Qi got up and grabbed Su Qing’s hand. He led her out of the living room and into the room on the second floor. As they walked, he didn’t forget to reply with a smile, “Didn’t you just promise Father that you would stay for dinner? It’s still early. Why are you in such a hurry to go home? Coincidentally, I don’t have anything to do today, and you don’t have to go to class. Can’t we stay together for a while? Accompany me for a while, okay?”
Hearing what Huo Qi said, Su Qing let him hold her hand and stepped into the familiar bedroom in front of her.
Huo Qi loosened the tie around his neck and poured a glass of water for Su Qing, indicating that she could sit on the sofa, which was in the balcony. He said in a relaxed and lazy tone, “Do you want to watch a movie? I can look for some recommendations.”
Su Qing looked at Huo Qi’s back and was silent for a while. She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you today? Ever since we were eating, I’ve already felt that something was wrong with you.”
Su Qing said as she looked at Huo Qi with a probing gaze and stopped in her tracks.
Huo Qi stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at Su Qing with a smile. He replied warmly, “Nothing! I just want to stay with you for a while. I can do anything. If you don’t like to watch movies, we can talk!”
“You’re hiding something from me,” Su said calmly, her big eyes full of certainty. She looked at Huo Qi and continued, “Or, you don’t want to tell me about the attack on you yesterday at all. You’ve been avoiding my question. You’re stalling for time!”
Huo Qi sighed imperceptibly. Seeing Su Qing’s shrewd look, he put down the laptop in his hand a bit helplessly and turned around to walk back. He looked at Su Qing gently and said softly, “Didn’t I already explain myself? The situation was too urgent at that time, so I didn’t have time to tell you. I didn’t hide it from you on purpose, nor did I want to avoid you or lie to you! How could I bear to do this to you?”
“Alright, tell me now! I’m listening,” Su Qing said calmly. She crossed her arms and walked past Huo Qi, then sat down on the sofa.
Su Qing seemed to have learned some unique skill of interrogating her boyfriend without being taught. The domineering look on her face made Huo Qi a bit helpless, and he even felt inexplicably guilty!
Huo Qi looked at Su Qing like this and smiled helplessly. He reported sincerely, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. There were only about twenty people on the other side. They should have been following us since a long time ago. Seeing that I don’t have anyone with me, they wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill me directly with this rare opportunity! But the other party was still too weak in the end. As soon as the people who supported me arrived, they spread out everywhere. Our men didn’t know their limits and didn’t even leave anyone alive. They’re all dead! I know you really want to know more about the other party, but everyone is dead now and we haven’t gotten any clues. I was afraid that you would be unhappy and angry with me, so I thought of finding a better opportunity to explain to you.”
