Chapter 14 We're Not Divorced Yet
The tall, strong man bent down, one hand firmly gripping her waist to hold her still, the other hand pinching her cheek, forcing her to open her mouth, forcefully deepening the kiss, and in an instant, their breaths mingled.
Normally, Jiang Qin was no match for him, let alone now, she was too afraid to move too much.
Because their bodies were so familiar with each other, despite her strong inner resistance, Jiang Qin was pathetic. Before long, she found her legs going weak. She hated herself for this, but when she tried to push again, she had no strength left.
The kiss lasted for quite a while before stopping. Huo Sili looked at Jiang Qin, who was weak from his kiss, and released his hand from pinching her cheek.
Her skin was delicate, and two distinct pink marks remained on her fair cheeks.
Jiang Qin adjusted her breathing, gave a cold glance, took out a powder compact and pressed it onto her face. Looking at the small mirror that came with the compact, she found that her eyes were very red. She composed herself and suppressed the bitterness and anger in her heart.
Suddenly, a warning sound came from beside me.
"We are not divorced yet."
"He's the one who accused me first," Jiang Qin sneered, but she had neither the energy nor the inclination to argue with him.
She was still thinking about the baby in her belly.
Should we abort it, or keep it?
The birth of a new life truly requires careful consideration, and Jiang Qin hadn't come to a conclusion when the car was parked at the entrance of the restaurant.
However, she had already clearly listed in her mind the possible situations she would face after making the corresponding choice.
And I know that she actually prefers to keep the child.
The reason was simple: she was too lonely. After her grandmother passed away, she no longer had any real family in the world.
When her grandmother was seriously ill, she repeatedly told her to live well. Compared to death, Jiang Qin did want to live. However, sometimes, like when she saw Su Lejia off last night, she would suddenly fall into a great loneliness.
Standing by the roadside, the world seemed so vast, with so many people. The houses with their lights on looked so warm, but none of that mattered to her.
And now, this child who suddenly appeared has the closest blood relationship with her in the world.
It was like a precious gift that fate had given her, and she found it hard not to keep it.
In particular, she knew clearly that if the child was born safely, she had the ability and financial resources to raise the child to adulthood, and she would love the child dearly.
As for the absence of the child's father, she has the looks and the ability to earn money. If she really wants to find one, she has no problem with that. Nowadays, society is more tolerant, and it is not uncommon for people to remarry without the father and keep the child.
"Secretary Jiang, Secretary Jiang?"
At the large round table, Jiang Qin was suddenly brought back to her senses and turned to smile at one of Chairman Wang's female subordinates beside her.
"Excuse me, I was lost in thought for a moment. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, I just wanted to ask you to hand me that tissue box." The female subordinate pointed to Jiang Qin's left.
Jiang Qin looked over, picked it up and handed it to the other person, then lowered her eyes to continue eating the food she had previously picked up from her bowl.
She lowered her head, her eyebrows slightly raised; she had clearly only picked up a piece of boneless fish.
But now, there's a piece of her favorite stir-fried lettuce in her bowl, which she doesn't know when it happened.
Jiang Qin paused slightly in her chopsticks and glanced to her left. Huo Sili was chatting amicably with Chairman Wang.
In these kinds of situations, the focus is on socializing, not actually on eating. If the lazy Susan is to be moved, you have to wait for your boss to do it.
She looked away and returned her gaze to her bowl. She didn't want to eat what he had picked out for her, but the dishes on the turntable directly opposite her were all things she didn't like. The only dish she could somewhat accept was the boneless fish in her bowl.
Therefore, these few slices of lettuce are, at this moment, no less important than a spring of sweet water in the desert.
Enough. People are annoying, but wasting food is shameful. Why should we suffer for them?
It would normally be lunchtime by this time, and Jiang Qin was indeed hungry. After finishing the fish, she also ate the lettuce.
It was already 2 PM when we said goodbye to Chairman Wang, and the car headed straight to the next business meeting.
The location is rather remote, situated in the western suburbs of Kyoto, and is a private estate.
However, this client was acquainted with Huo Sili, and they were of similar age. They had been cooperating with the Huo family for several years. He was from the Wen family, a prominent family in Kyoto, and his given name was Chen. The client and Huo Sili had a fairly close relationship; Jiang Qin had met Wen Chen before.
Wen Chen was considered one of the more amiable people in her social class, so she wasn't as nervous as she had been in the morning.
Jiang Qin set an alarm on the way, relaxed and leaned back in her seat to take a nap. When she woke up, she looked at the scenery outside the car window, touched up her makeup, and checked the documents she needed to see and sign later. They were almost at their destination.
The car drove directly into the manor and parked in the open-air parking lot outside the main villa building. As soon as Jiang Qin got out of the car, she heard a young male voice.
"Why is she here too?" The voice was clearly displeased. Jiang Qin looked over and met a face that she didn't know very well.
She thought for a moment before remembering that it was Sheng Zhan, the young master of the Sheng family in Kyoto. From the moment they first met, he seemed to dislike her. Jiang Qin had learned about him before and discovered that he had a nickname: "The Mischievous Little Devil of Beijing Circles".
In short, his powerful family background and being pampered from a young age fostered his arrogant and domineering nature.
However, this man was quite different from the other young masters in his arrogance; Sheng Zhan was Huo Sili's "fanboy".
This is something Jiang Qin discovered earlier—Sheng Zhan has little patience for others, but he is incredibly patient with Huo Sili, and he doesn't even mind if Huo Sili doesn't give him a friendly look.
Just then, Sheng Zhan walked over with a smile, "Brother Huo, you're here! Brother Wen Chen asked me to pick you up while he was putting his daughter to sleep, come in quickly!"
"You've come at the right time," said Horstley. "I'm a little thirsty. Let's go inside first. There are some things in the trunk, could you help me unload them?"
Without even asking what he was moving, Sheng Zhan immediately agreed. But when he happily opened the trunk, he was dumbfounded.
"These...all of these, I'm supposed to move them all? Brother Huo, are you...?"
Is that giving him too much credit?
When Sheng Zhan turned around, Huo Sili had already entered the house, while Jiang Qin was still standing beside him. Sheng Zhan glanced at Jiang Qin, then looked away expressionlessly, gritted his teeth, and began to move the things in the trunk like a strongman.
Glancing at Sheng Zhan's submissive demeanor, and then looking ahead, Jiang Qin carried the documents into the house.
Just as she was about to step into the hall, cute, chattering footsteps sounded, and a delicate little girl rushed up in front of Jiang Qin and hugged her legs tightly.
Jiang Qin was startled and immediately dared not move. Looking down, she saw the little girl holding her looking up at her with her head tilted back. Her dark, grape-like eyes were still a little blurry, and her sweet, childlike voice called out, "Mommy, Mommy~"
