Chapter 188 Be Intoxicated With
Seeing Xia Luobing fall asleep, Xia Luobing carefully closed the door and went out. She wanted to find Huo Yunqi. It had been so long since she had been intoxicated. There must be a reason why she was suddenly found out.
Thinking of the possibility that she was implicated in the intoxication, Xia Luobing ‘s face was covered in a thick layer of smog. The heavy color made people’s hair clog up.
When she came out in the morning, the sky was full of sunshine. She thought that today would definitely be a fine day, but in the morning, the originally fine weather had already turned into drizzling rain. It was so gloomy that it looked exactly like her mood at this moment.
Just as he left, Xia Luobing was about to open the door when he saw a familiar figure flash past in the corner. He thought for a moment and quickly chased after him.
“Bai Lin!” Xia Luobing stared at the man ten meters away with his back to her. Her speculation was confirmed. She slowly walked towards the man who had stopped. She stopped a meter away from him and said, “Do you feel sorry for her? Why didn’t you go in and see her? Why didn’t you tell her?”
Thinking of how intoxicated she was, Xia Luobing wished she could slap the man in front of her to death, but thinking of how intoxicated she had forced herself to be strong for Huo Yunzhan, she felt like a knife cutting her heart.
Originally, she should have lived a happy life without heart or lungs, but because of her, she had become like this. Her heart ached!
“Why didn’t you say anything? If you really don’t love her, why did you come over to see her?” Xia Luobing asked word by word, her tone filled with pressure.
Bai Lin clenched his hands tightly and his tall body trembled uncontrollably. ” Xia Luobing, you have also been the captain of the Criminal Police Force for so many years. How could you ask such a childish question?”
Dropping these words, Bai Lin walked away without turning back. His tall back grew farther and farther away in the rain and mist.
Xia Luobing stared blankly at the blurry figure and silently turned around to leave.
She called Yunqi Huo in advance. He was in a meeting, and after half an hour, Bai Lin, who had returned to the company first, led her into the office.
“Miss Xia, your coffee.” Bai Lin put the steaming coffee and a plate of pastries on the table and stood silently to the side. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “You won’t tell her.”
The tone of his statement was questionable. After all, Charlotte valued intoxicating this friend very much.
Charlotte stopped on the back of her coffee hand and lowered her head to take a sip. She said indifferently, “You go out.”
Bai Lin was stunned. He frowned and looked at Xia Luobing. He wanted to say something, but his lips moved. Finally, he turned around and left without saying a word.
“Wait a moment!” Xia Luobing put down her coffee cup and looked up at Bai Lin, who had already walked to the office. “I will have the professional conduct of a criminal police officer,” she said in a low voice.
Bai Lin’s fingers on the armrest paused for a moment before pushing the door open. A breeze blew in through the crack and brushed Xia Luobing’s face. It was cold.
Huo Yunqi’s office was very big and simple. This was the most intuitive impression she had of Xia Luobing.
She got up and walked to the desk in the middle. Seeing the photo frame on the table, waves of ripples spread out, easily touching the memories of a long time ago.
In the photo, she was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, sorting out the scriptures. The sofa was covered with messy doc.u.ments. She wore a loose home uniform, had a pen on her ear, and all her hair was clipped behind her head. Only a strand of disobedient hair hung down, splitting her beautiful side face in half.
From the angle of view, this photo should have been taken by Huo Yunqi from the stairs, but when … she couldn’t remember clearly. She always seemed to be sitting on the sofa like this, fiddling with those doc.u.ments. She used to be, and still is, like this.
“Knock!”
Ye Shaochen knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Xia Luobing standing at her desk, she was stunned. He reacted for a while and smiled, “Why are you here?”
Regardless of whether it was five years ago or now, Ye Shaochen boasted that he had witnessed the love and hatred between Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing. Even if he had not been optimistic in the past, he had no choice but to sigh.
The two of them walked very hard. It took a lot of effort to have a good relationship and hurt their lungs.
“Long time no see.” Xia Luobing put the photo alb.u.m back in its original position and looked at Ye Shaochen, “Where’s Yunxi?”
Ye Shaochen placed the doc.u.ments in his hand on Huo Yunqi’s desk. He glanced at the photo that Xia Luobing had just taken in his hand and said leisurely, “He brought this photo from City A and brought it back from abroad. Don’t you think it’s stupid?”
Xia Luobing fell silent and lowered his eyes slightly. His long eyelashes blinked like b.u.t.terfly wings, and a faint shadow fell on his fair face.
“There are a lot of things going on at today’s meeting. I think it will be extended.” Ye Shaochen smiled and said, “You’ll probably have to wait for a while longer. The meeting room is currently in an uproar!”
Xia Luobing raised her head doubtfully and looked at Ye Shaochen in surprise, “What happened?”
She had seen Huo Yunqi convene the board of directors, and although there were sometimes discordant voices, she did not quarrel.
As if seeing Xia Luobing’s doubts, Ye Shaochen tapped on the desk with his finger and put away his smile. “He did a lot for you. If you can be together, you should not let her down.”
Xia Luobing’s gaze fell on her fingernails on the table. There were traces of sunlight bouncing on them, shining as if they were embedded with fine diamonds.
“You have something to tell me.” Xia Luobing frowned and looked at Ye Shaochen, “Speak.”
Ye Shaochen was Huo Yunqi’s best friend and Yun Xi’s husband. They were family and friends, and they had supported each other for many years. He was more qualified than anyone else to tell her about Huo Yunqi.
“Do you know what QC stands for?” Ye Shaochen suddenly said with a dumbfounded brow. At first, this company was only started by Huo Yunqi and him for a moment, but he didn’t expect it to become Huo Yunqi’s sole capital in the most difficult times.
Xia Luobing thought for a moment, what QC meant
“Qi, Chen?” Charlotte asked tentatively.
“Yes,” Ye Shaochen nodded. “My status in the Ye Clan is awkward. You know that, and becoming friends with Huo Yunqi is also a mistake.”
He did not expect that after meeting Yunqi Huo, his entire life had undergone tremendous changes. Now that he had a complete family and a satisfactory career, the haze of his youth seemed to have dissipated.
Xia Luobing did not interrupt Ye Shaochen. His intuition told her that he should have a lot to say to her, and what he wanted to say must be about Yunqi Huo.
“QC is developing at a price that you wouldn’t expect.” Ye Shaochen’s eyes lit up. His fingers, which were originally on the desk, unconsciously curled up, as if he was trying his best to control his conscious emotions. But even so, his fingers still trembled slightly. It took him a while to stabilize his emotions and look up at Xia Luobing. “No matter what happens, you have to believe him.”
Xia Luobing stared at Ye Shaochen in disbelief. He had been circling around for so long just to make her believe Huo Yunqi?
Moreover, the last sentence was extremely abrupt.
“You have something to hide from me?” Xia Luobing frowned. At this moment, Yunqi pushed open the door and came in. He saw the two people in the office and was stunned for a moment.
Ye Shaochen shrugged and pointed at the doc.u.ments on the table.
Huo Yunqi remained silent, his eyes burning as he looked at Xia Luobing, “Ice.”
“You’re done with the meeting? I’m here today because …”
“Yunqi Huo, wait for me! Why are you running so fast!” The girl in a fiery red sling dress chased after him tenderly. She stamped her feet angrily when she caught up to the door. Her exquisite facial features were also vivid and beautiful.
Xia Luobing was stunned, and her gaze fell on the girl behind Yunqi. Her arm held Huo Yunqi’s arm, her cheeks flushed like a blooming crabapple blossom, causing her thoughts to ripple uncontrollably.
This girl’s relationship with Huo Yunqi was very special.
When Xia Luobing looked at the girl, the girl was also looking at her. When she saw Xia Luobing, her eyes changed. She rubbed her face against Ho Yunqi’s arm and said coquettishly, “Yunqi, is this your ex-wife?”
Ex-wife?!
The two-word bomb exploded in the office. There were clearly four people standing there, but they could hear each other’s heartbeats in silence.
“Are you Xia Luobing? h.e.l.lo, I’m Ai Wei Wei, Yunqi ‘s fianc é e.” The girl’s fair fingers reached out in front of Charlotte. The red nails were inlaid with red diamonds, so shining that no one could open their eyes.
An ex-wife and a fianc é e now stood opposite each other.
Xia Luobing indifferently said that she knew Ai Wei’s ident.i.ty, but did not shake her hand. She said bluntly, “I’m afraid of breaking my hand.”
She had her own pride, so how could she not see Ai Wei’s intentional provocation?
The scene instantly turned cold. Xia Luobing walked over indifferently. When he pa.s.sed Ye Shaochen, he suddenly smiled and said, “No wonder.”
No wonder Ye Shaochen had said so many inexplicable words to her just now, no wonder he had told her to choose to trust Huo Yunqi at all times.
Ye Shaochen was stunned and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Originally, he hoped that Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi could make up soon, but she never thought that Ai Wei would suddenly appear here.
“Ice!” Huo Yunqi stretched out his hand to pull Charlotte. Just as his finger was about to touch her arm, Charlotte took a step back. His extended finger was stuck in mid-air. The air slid past her fingertips and was cold.
Xia Luobing glanced at Ho Yunqi and turned to leave. When he pa.s.sed Ho Yunqi, he heard him say, “Bing Bing, listen to me.”
But why?
Why would she listen to his explanation?
What position and qualifications does she have to listen to his explanation?
She’s just an ex-wife. She’s just an ex-wife.
She walked out of the office and entered the elevator in a daze. Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, she saw Yunqi’s tightly knitted face through the gap between the doors of the elevator.
He looked at her so sadly that her heart ached.
Now, she believed that she had indeed loved him, because even if she lost her memory now, she still felt very sad in her heart, as if she would die in the next second.
The road was bustling with traffic, and the sound of the car whistle was exceptionally ear-piercing under the white sunlight.
“There’s no need to be sad.” Xia Luobing took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. She pulled the corners of her mouth to squeeze out a smile, but she tried several times and ended in failure.
“Ice!”
