Chapter 164 Huo Yan Come Back
Chapter 164 Huo Yan Come Back
That moment.
The entire building was shaken, the window glass shattered, and the fragments flew like snowflakes, making a sharp sound. Then there were countless screams and cries, the sounds intertwined together, as if to pierce people's eardrums, forming a terrifying movement.
Jia Lulu's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her body couldn't help but tremble, her eyes were full of fear and despair. If Qiao Qin hadn't called her away, she would still be staying in that studio. She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
It was the first time that she was so close to death. Jia Lulu turned to look at Qiao Qin, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Her lips trembled and she wanted to say something, but she found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't utter a word.
next second.
Jia Lulu's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted in horror: "Sister Qiao, the design drafts, all the design drafts are in the studio."
Her voice was tearful and almost desperate. Tears welled up in her eyes and could burst out at any time.
Today is the end of the month. According to the contract, they need to submit both electronic and paper versions of the design to the client. If they exceed the deadline, the studio will face a large amount of compensation. This is still a good result. The most important thing is that they have lost the trust of the client. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a studio that has just started, and it may even be devastating.
Qiao Qin also realized this. She looked up at the office building. The floor that originally belonged to their studio was now covered by fire. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, like a black dragon roaring wantonly. The flames jumped in the windows, like a devil's dance, devouring everything. At the same time, all her hard work, those days and nights of hard work, those carefully drawn designs, were burned to ashes in this ruthless fire.
"No, I need to go back."
Qiao Qin clenched her hands into fists at her sides, her whole body trembling with strength, and her eyes were full of determination and resolve.
She tried her best to stop herself, but impulse overcame reason in the end. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to rescue the design draft, which was her hard work and her dream.
The fire burned not only her design drafts, but also all her hard work over this period of time and her dreams.
Qiao Qin's eyes were slightly red, tears welled up in them, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She wanted to rush in, but Jia Lulu beside her was still rational, and immediately reached out to grab her, shouting desperately.
"Sister Qiao, please don't do that! If the design draft is lost, we can redraw it. The client will definitely understand. At worst, we can start all over again. But if a life is lost, it's really gone."
Jia Lulu's voice was filled with tears, and she held Qiao Qin tightly with both hands, refusing to let go. Her eyes were full of fear and worry, fearing that Qiao Qin would do something impulsive.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qin slumped down on the ground like a deflated ball. She covered her face with her hands, and her tears finally burst like a flood, unable to stop falling. Tears slid down her fingers and dripped onto the ground, like a broken heart.
How could this be?
Low sobs echoed around, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing and sad. Everyone was immersed in fear and despair, unable to extricate themselves. Their eyes were empty and confused, as if they had lost their souls.
at this time.
A shadow suddenly fell in front of Qiao Qin's eyes. She raised her head and saw Huo Yan standing in front of her.
He stood against the light, his tall and slender figure seemed to shine with his own light, like a savior descending from the sky. His face appeared particularly resolute in the intersection of light and shadow, his expression could not be seen on his handsome face, but his firm eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all the darkness.
Huo Yan stretched out his hand towards him. The hand was broad and warm.
Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously put her hand on it.
next second.
She was helped up by the person in front of her, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears, with an unprecedented gentleness and doting tone.
"Don't be sad, I will help you get the design back." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was making an eternal promise.
Every word was like a reassurance pill, instantly calming Qiao Qin's originally panicked heart.
After he finished speaking, Huo Yan turned around and rushed into the building without looking back. His figure seemed so small in the firelight, yet so determined.
Qiao Qin opened her eyes wide, and her face suddenly lost all color, as pale as a piece of paper.
She shouted loudly: "Huo Yan! Don't!"
Qiao Qin's voice was filled with heart-wrenching pain. She stretched her hands forward, trying to grab Huo Yan, but could only grab empty space.
next second.
The man's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Qiao Qin wanted to chase after him, but was held back by Jia Lulu and Assistant Yan. She could only stand there and shout desperately.
"I don't want any design drafts anymore. Come back, come back."
"Huo Yan, are you a fool?"
"Did you hear me? If you don't come back, I'll be angry."
Qiao Qin shouted until her throat became hoarse, and her voice became hoarse and broken, but she did not get any response, and the familiar figure she was expecting did not appear before her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness; tears blurred her vision, making her unable to see clearly what was in front of her.
Qiao Qin was a little irrational just now, but now she is completely sober. The studio can start over, but if she loses her life, she will really lose everything.
There was no way Huo Yan didn't understand this principle, but in order to make her not sad, he rushed into the fire without hesitation like a moth to a flame.
Qiao Qin's heart was trembling. At this moment, she could no longer deceive herself or suppress the surging emotions in her heart.
No matter what excessive things Huo Yan had done to her before, his recent actions have proved that he has changed, right?
Qiao Qin stared at the door of the office building. She had never felt that time passed so slowly. Every minute and every second was torture. Her eyes were empty and desperate, as if she had lost her soul. Her body was trembling slightly, as if she was in great pain.
Qiao Qin felt weak all over, and she could only stand with the support of Jia Lulu. At this moment, Assistant Yan's heavy voice rang in her ears.
"In fact, Mr. Huo had already made a will before he came." Assistant Yan's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from a faraway place. Every word was like a heavy bomb, blowing a huge hole in Qiao Qin's heart.
Qiao Qin's heart trembled, and she turned to look at Assistant Yan. He looked very serious, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in his eyes.
"If Mr. Huo gets into trouble, all his assets will belong to his wife." Assistant Yan's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation. His voice trembled in the wind, but was extremely clear.
"Miss Qiao, maybe Mr. Huo did deceive you before, and even hurt you, but later he realized his mistake, and he really fell in love with you." Assistant Yan said word by word. His voice was very light, but it was extremely heavy in Qiao Qin's heart. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.
Huo Yan did not leave the inheritance to his only bloodline, but gave it to her, which shows that in his heart, she is more important than Huo Siqian.
Qiao Qin's mind went blank, and she stood there in a daze, as if she had turned into a sculpture. Suddenly, she tasted a hint of saltiness, and she blinked her eyes, only to find that it was her own tears.
In an instant, the feeling of regret almost overwhelmed her.
There has never been a moment like this when Qiao Qin wanted to turn back time and go back to a few minutes ago, but this was obviously impossible.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded in my ears.
The fire truck is here.
Qiao Qin looked up, and a glimmer of hope rose again in her desperate eyes. She stumbled towards one of the uniformed firefighters and pleaded, "My husband is still in there, please save him." Her voice was filled with pleading and despair, and tears blurred her vision.
"Ma'am, don't worry. We will do our best to save people." The other party comforted her softly and rushed in with a water gun. The fire broke out too suddenly and many people were trapped in the office building.
Dark clouds were hanging overhead, and at some point, a drizzle began to fall from the horizon, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The big raindrops hit the ground, splashing water.
"Sister Qiao, let's go to the side to take shelter from the rain. Mr. Huo will be fine." Jia Lulu pulled Qiao Qin's arm and tried to take her to a place where they could take shelter from the rain.
Qiao Qin shook her head and stood stubbornly at the door, making sure Huo Yan would see her the first thing he saw when he came out. The cold rain hit her body, but she felt nothing, and even prayed for the storm to be stronger. Her hair was soaked and stuck to her face, and her clothes were tightly stuck to her body, making her look disheveled, but her eyes were always firmly looking at the door.
at this time.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the front.
Qiao Qin immediately came to her senses and looked up. A familiar figure came into view. The man's hair was half burnt by the fire, his face was black and white, and his originally white shirt was covered with black ash and even burned in some places. He staggered over.
"Xiao Qin, your design draft." Huo Yan took out a file bag from his arms. He was obviously in a mess, but the file bag was intact, which showed that he had been trying hard to protect it all the way.
In an instant, Qiao Qin's tears fell again, and she choked up and said two words.
"Fool."
next second.
She couldn't bear it any longer and rushed over, hugging the man in front of her tightly.
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment. He could hardly remember the last time Qiao Qin took the initiative to hug him. Then, a strong sense of surprise rose in his heart. He stretched out his hands and hugged Qiao Qin back.
At the entrance of the office building.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, they looked very embarrassed, but they didn't care about the eyes of passers-by. At that moment, it seemed that they only had each other in their world. The rain kept falling, soaking their bodies, but it couldn't burn out the burning emotions in their hearts.
The crowd gradually gathered around, some were sighing, some were moved, and they seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them.
Huo Yan gently patted Qiao Qin's back and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, I'm fine." His voice was a little tired, but full of tenderness.
Qiao Qin sobbed, her voice intermittent: "If something happens to you, what should I do?"
Huo Yan smiled. Even though his face was covered in black and gray, his smile was still bright: "How could I bear to leave you behind?"
At this time, the rain was still falling, but their embrace became tighter and tighter, as if to freeze this moment forever.
After a long time, Qiao Qin let go of Huo Yan. Her eyes were red, but she looked at him without blinking: "Don't take such risks again in the future."
Huo Yan nodded and reached out to wipe away the rain and tears on Qiao Qin's face: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jia Lulu and Assistant Yan stood not far away, looking at them with gratified smiles on their faces.
