Chapter 96 At Least Four Years of Secret Marriage
When Jiang Qin heard Huo Sili say those words, she actually felt that there was something strange about it.
After all, she had been there almost every time the old lady went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic for acupuncture, and each time she felt that the old lady was in a good mood, so she thought that the old lady should not suddenly worry about her and Huo Sili again.
After all, Wang Ma had learned her lesson from the incident of her cutting her wrists, and she probably wouldn't keep telling the old lady about what was happening at Yunhai Hua Mansion.
But when she faced Huo Sili again, seeing his expression, it was clear that he didn't think much of lying in the same bed with her.
Jiang Qin was suddenly confused again.
Remembering her doctor's advice not to overthink during her pregnancy, Jiang Qin simply stopped thinking about it.
After taking a short walk in the rooftop garden, Jiang Qin continued with her overseas apartment rental business. Soon after, she went into the bathroom, showered, and applied skincare products, and then felt sleepy.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and we need to leave at nine o'clock. Jiang Qin set a suitable alarm, turned off her phone, and turned off the lights.
I lay down in the completely dark room, in the cool blankets.
Just as she lay down, Jiang Qin suddenly remembered something—
Yes, it's been a month.
She's about ready to go to the hospital for her first prenatal checkup.
Thinking about this, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel a little troubled again. However, her troubles were quickly overcome by sleepiness, and she fell asleep. Her breathing was even and shallow, and even in the quiet room, it was almost inaudible.
When Horst walked in, it was already half an hour later, and the room was dark.
The floor lamps only turn on automatically when they sense the slightest sound of his movement.
Horst walked quietly to the bedside, lifted a corner of the blanket, sat on the bed, and lay down.
Then, as he pulled the blanket over himself, he successfully fell silent in front of his half-covered body.
When she sleeps in autumn and winter, if she feels cold while sleeping, she will wrap herself up tightly until she is completely curled up.
Huo Sili looked at the person next to him for a while before looking away.
She sat up, tiptoed out of the bed, and carried the bedding back from the second bedroom.
……
The next day, when Jiang Qin was woken up by her alarm clock, she clearly felt heavier than usual.
Whether it was her imagination or not, the bed seemed warmer than usual, so warm that she was reluctant to stick her hands out.
However, she still had to turn off the alarm clock; it was too noisy to keep playing on repeat. Jiang Qin struggled to open her eyes and reached for her phone on the bedside table.
But instead of touching the phone, I suddenly touched another hand.
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes, which had been half-closed, were now fully open.
As if her hand had been burned, Jiang Qin quickly let go and tried to sit up.
An arm coiled around her like a python, gripping her slender waist.
"Don't move, sleep a little longer."
Huo Sili's voice was languid, and his behavior at that moment reminded Jiang Qin of a large feline.
But Huo Sili and that animal—undoubtedly, the animal would make Jiang Qin more patient.
Jiang Qin pushed away Huo Sili's hand that was around her, her voice cold, "Let go."
Perhaps it was just that this young master was being grumpy in the morning.
He didn't utter a sound, nor did he loosen his grip; instead, he went even further, pulling her even closer into his arms.
In bed, Jiang Qin barely suppressed the urge to kick him below the navel.
But probably because of the weather, the bed really does have a magical power. Being wrapped up like this, Jiang Qin, who was not very clear-headed to begin with, started to feel sleepy again.
But Jiang Qin hadn't forgotten that the old lady was also going to the dress shop today.
What's with the two of them lazing in bed here?
"Get up, Horley."
Jiang Qin called out to the person next to her in a less-than-friendly tone, giving them a push with each call.
But Horstley didn't budge an inch; he looked just like a sleeping Maine Coon cat.
Jiang Qin was genuinely afraid that if she fell asleep again, she wouldn't be able to wake up, so she blinked hard.
"Fine, if you won't get up, let go and let me get up."
She knew that Horstley was awake now, but he didn't want to get up.
After all, his hearing was excellent, and his alertness couldn't be lacking either—Hosley's status and position required him to be more perceptive and vigilant than ordinary people.
Otherwise, among his peers nurtured by such excellent educational resources, he would have long since become cannon fodder in the struggle for capital.
But he didn't. On the contrary, he now controls the entire Huo family, and no one dares to contradict him.
Unfortunately, this guy is determined to get back at her today.
He didn't say a word, just held her and continued sleeping.
Jiang Qin was convinced, and having no other choice, she had to resort to her trump card.
A few minutes later, Jiang Qin got up.
Huo Sili sat on the bed, his dark eyes clearly looking at her with disbelief.
Jiang Qin pretended not to see it and went straight to the washroom.
There's no way around it; after all, they've been secretly married for four years, so it's normal for her to know about the CEO's little secret: he has an itchy spot on his lower back.
……
"Madam, sir, the old lady is here!"
As the elevator doors opened, upon hearing Wang Ma's voice, Jiang Qin was immediately relieved that she had taken this into consideration and had waited upstairs for Huo Sili to finish getting ready before coming down.
Otherwise, if I had come down alone just now, the old lady would probably have started to overthink things.
"Grandma," Jiang Qin called out sweetly to Qiu Huilan.
Qiu Huilan smiled and took Jiang Qin's hand, "Alright, Grandma has had breakfast, you two."
Qiu Huilan looked at Huo Sili beside her, took Huo Sili's hand and placed it on Jiang Qin's hand.
"You two have breakfast first, Grandma will watch the news for a while."
Jiang Qin glanced at Huo Sili's hand, which the old lady had handed to her.
The moment he looked up, Horst also happened to be looking over.
“Okay, Grandma, Qinqin and I will have breakfast first.” Huo Sili smiled gently at Qiu Huilan.
Qiu Huilan hummed in agreement, let go of his hand, and walked towards the sofa next to him with a smile.
Huo Sili's hand was still in Jiang Qin's hand. Jiang Qin wanted to shake it off, but thinking that the old lady was there, she let Huo Sili hold it in the end.
Jiang Qin simply didn't understand; a simple handshake would have sufficed, so why...?
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qin asked in a low voice, puzzled, as Huo Sili intertwined his fingers with hers.
Huo Sili pressed his warm palm against hers and said only one sentence, but Jiang Qin instantly didn't want to talk to him anymore.
His voice was quite low, but he whispered in her ear, "We can't do it, not even hold hands?"
