Chapter 188 - Be Intoxicated With (1/2)
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 documents. 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 documents. 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 album back in its original position and looked at Ye Shaochen, “Where’s Yunxi?”
Ye Shaochen placed the documents 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 butterfly 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.
