Chapter 726
726 It’s good that I have you (1)
After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from the room, so she directly pushed the door open and went in.
What greeted him was the pungent smell of smoke.
The curtains were drawn and the lights were not turned on, so the light in the study room was extremely dark.
Qu Huaian waved his hand to get rid of the pungent smell of smoke. He saw the man sitting on the leather chair, his face calm but ugly. He held the cigarette between his fingers and put it to his mouth from time to time, blowing out thin smoke.
It was hard to hide his dejection.
She walked over and placed the cup in front of him. &Quot; the Butler brewed some tea for you. Drink it to cool down. &Quot;
Xie tingxi didn’t seem to hear it. He picked up the cup, turned around, and smashed it on the glass window.
The glass shattered and the herbal tea splashed all over the floor.
Qu Huai ‘an had long been mentally prepared, but he was still frightened by his sudden ruthlessness.
There was a flash of ridicule in her eyes.
Xie tingxi, it turns out that you can also be angry because of failure, and you can also doubt your own incompetence.
So you’ll have this day too.
Xie tingxi took a deep breath and turned his head to look at her stiff figure. His eyes turned red, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart. He licked his dry lips and apologized in a low voice, ” I’m sorry for scaring you. &Quot;
Qu Huaian shook his head slightly. &Quot; I’m fine. Are you alright? ”
He laughed bitterly. &Quot; the bid has failed. This project has nothing to do with us anymore. &Quot;
In fact, the loss of this project wouldn’t have a big impact on Fu Xie, but it was a personal humiliation for him.
Because he had never failed, whether it was in his relationship or career.
Qu Huaian consoled him, ” there are still many projects. There will be more opportunities in the future. &Quot;
Xie tingxi shook his head. &Quot; you don’t understand. This project is related to the company’s development for the next five years. And we … &Quot;
He suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.
Since he did not say anything, qu Huaian did not probe further. &Quot; I’ll go get you another glass of water. &Quot;
As soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed. The man pulled her back and held her tightly in his arms, leaving no gap, as if he was going to break her bones.
“Don’t go, let me hug you for a while.” The man’s deep voice was hoarse, revealing an unspeakable fatigue.
He was as high-spirited as he was when he went, but now he was as dejected as a dog that had lost its family.
Qu Huaian did not move and obediently allowed him to hug him, but he did not have the slightest bit of sympathy or pity for him.
Because all of this was her doing.
After some time, the sky outside gradually darkened. Qu Huaian finally spoke, ” are you tired? do you want to go back to your room and take a shower? I’ll go down and make you something to eat. &Quot;
Xie tingxi let go of her and looked tired. &Quot; I don’t want to eat anything. I want to take a shower and rest. Can you accompany me? ”
“Alright,” he said. Qu Huaian did not refuse his request.
How could she reject him when she saw how helpless and weak he was?
Xie tingxi went back to his room while qu Huaian went downstairs to the kitchen. With the help of nanny Kang, he made two dishes and a soup and brought them to his room.
The man came out of the bathroom. His hair was wet and had not been wiped, and water was still dripping from the tip of his hair. The belt of his black bathrobe was casually tied, and the collar was open, revealing his strong chest.
“Come and eat something.” Qu Huaian placed the food on the table.
Xie tingxi glanced at it. &Quot; I don’t have an appetite. &Quot;
“Even if you don’t have an appetite, you still have to eat something.” Qu Huaian walked over and took his hand, pulling him to the table.
She stuffed the chopsticks into his hand again and said, ” you eat first. I’ll go get a dry towel to dry your hair. &Quot;
Xie tingxi really didn’t have much of an appetite, but when he saw her walking to the closet, he still symbolically moved his chopsticks.
Qu Huaian took a blue towel and walked over. Standing behind him, he carefully wiped the water from his hair.
The two of them did not speak again, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
When her hair was half-dry, Xie tingxi pulled her hand away. &Quot; you don’t have to dry it. &Quot;
He hugged her. &Quot; lie down with me for a while. &Quot;
Qu Huaian did not refuse and accompanied him to lie down on the large, soft bed.
Xie tingxi lay on the bed and held her tightly with his long arms, as if he was holding the only life-saving piece of driftwood on the sea.
Her thick and curled eyelashes fell, casting an obvious blue shadow under her eyes. The dark circles under her eyes were very heavy.
It was obvious that he had not had a good rest for the past week.
Qu Huaian looked at the man with his eyes wide open. He thought of all the things the man had done, but all he had done was cut his skin and bleed a little. He had not been hurt.
However, it was better than doing nothing and letting him live a smooth life.
His plan had probably succeeded. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Lying on the soft bed, his entire body relaxed, and he unknowingly entered Dreamland.
When she opened her eyes, the sky outside the window was still white, and Xie tingxi was no longer by the bed.
She got out of bed. Without even wearing her shoes, she took two steps and finally saw the man’s tall and lonely figure on the balcony.
He held the cigarette butt between his index finger and puffed, his hair wet from the dew.
His other hand was holding the phone to his ear, as if he was making a call. He said in a low voice, ” &Quot; the bidding price of Honglu is very close to ours this time. This is definitely not a coincidence. We must find out who is behind this! &Quot;
He was going to find that traitor and make him wish he was dead.
Probably sensing someone’s gaze on his back, he turned around and saw qu Huaian standing by the balcony’s glass door. He immediately snuffed out his cigarette and beckoned her over.
Qu Huaian took a few steps closer and heard him say, ” I don’t have much patience. Get it done as soon as possible. &Quot;
After hanging up, qu Huaian happened to walk in front of him. He immediately pulled her into his arms and kissed her fair forehead. &Quot; you’re awake. &Quot;
Qu Huaian nodded lightly, his fingers resting on his arm. &Quot; aren’t you cold? ”
He did not mention a word about the phone call just now.
“I’m not cold,” He lowered his head and rubbed it against her forehead. &Quot; I’m lucky to have you … &Quot;
At this time, her existence brought some comfort to his defeated heart.
Qu Huaian did not reply, but changed the topic, ” “Let’s go in.”
“Alright,” he said. Xie tingxi took her into the house. Probably because he was in a bad mood, he didn’t have any romantic thoughts.
When qu Huaian wanted to return to his room, he did not stop him.
During breakfast, the atmosphere at the dining table was exceptionally quiet and heavy.
Even Xie Yumu, the little devil, didn’t dare to speak. He obediently finished his breakfast and let qu Huai ‘an send him to kindergarten.
“Let the Butler send you there.” Xie tingxi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.
Xie Yumu wanted to resist, but when she met his cold eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
A wise man submits to circumstances. He was only developing slowly for now. When he grew up, he would definitely throw this old man out and live with sister qu.
After Xie Yumu left, Xie tingxi said to qu Huaian, ” change your clothes. I’ll take you out for a while. &Quot;

I’ll see you tomorrow.
