Chapter 161 Who can affect Huo Yan's emotions
Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment. At that moment, her brain seemed to be struck by a sharp lightning and instantly fell into a blank.
She stood there in a daze, like a sculpture that had lost its soul, and was unable to recover from the sudden words.
"What?" She asked subconsciously, with a hint of confusion in her voice.
You know, if Qiao Qin hadn't been well aware of Lin Xingran and Bo Zhili's sweet and happy relationship, she would have almost suspected that her best friend on the other end of the phone had fallen in love with someone else and her mind had undergone a drastic change.
Who would have thought that Lin Xingran was actually trying to set me up with someone!
Her passionate voice continued to come from the receiver, like surging waves, with an irresistible force: "An Yunkai is good-looking, has a good personality, and most importantly, has ability. Xiaoqin, you really can consider it."
"Me?" Qiao Qin's mouth opened slightly, forming a small "O" shape, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Then, her brows were tightly furrowed, like two deep grooves across her fair face.
"You're crazy, they already have daughters."
There was a hint of anger and helplessness in Qiao Qin's tone.
Lin Xingran seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, and explained with a smile: "So that's what you care about. Don't worry, his daughter is actually adopted. A few years ago, an artist that An Yunkai was leading died of a serious mental illness, leaving behind a daughter who was less than one year old. He couldn't bear to see the child being sent to an orphanage, left alone and helpless, so he resolutely decided to adopt the girl."
When Qiao Qin heard this, she never expected the truth of the matter to be like this.
The scene of chatting with An Yunkai just now emerged in her mind. When he mentioned his daughter, his eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if twinkling with bright stars.
The light is soft and warm, as if it can melt people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qin couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
only.
"He is indeed a good man, but we are not suitable." Qiao Qin's tone was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if she had made a firm decision. Her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, as if she was guarding the last line of defense deep in her heart.
However, Lin Xingran did not give up and continued to persuade: "Don't you like having children? I know a few single friends who are all reliable. I can introduce them to you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiao Qin.
Qiao Qin's brows were furrowed, and her voice became deeper, as if carrying a hint of suppressed anger: "Xiao Ran, I know you are worried about me and... Huo Yan getting back together, but please rest assured, I really am not in the mood for a relationship right now. I just want to set up the studio and fulfill my dream."
Her voice trembled slightly, and every word seemed to be taken out from the bottom of her heart, with incomparable firmness and persistence, like a burning flame, hot and bright.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, as if time had stopped at that moment.
The world seemed to have fallen into an abyss of silence, with only Qiao Qin's breathing echoing in her ears.
"I'm sorry, I just..." Lin Xingran opened her mouth slowly, but suddenly stopped in the middle of her words, as if some invisible force had strangled her throat and she could no longer continue.
"Just what?" Qiao Qin asked anxiously, the doubts in her heart grew deeper and deeper, like a tangled mess that she couldn't sort out.
"No, nothing. The doctor is here to examine me. That's all for today. Go to bed early. Good night." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little flustered and hung up in a hurry.
Qiao Qin frowned, her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she felt a little uneasy. That feeling of uneasiness was like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping her heart.
It seemed that Xiao Ran had become a little strange since the thrilling kidnapping, especially when it came to her contact with Huo Yan, she was extremely sensitive and seemed to be particularly disgusted with them having any more contact.
Is it post-traumatic stress?
After all, the root cause of this kidnapping was Huo Yan, and they were all innocent victims implicated.
Qin guessed silently in his heart, trying to find a reasonable explanation for Lin Xingran's abnormal behavior.
Soon, her attention was diverted to Huo Siqian. Thanks to Mr. An's guidance, she seemed to have a better understanding of raising children, and now was the time to put it into practice.
In the living room, Huo Siqian's clear and pleasant laughter rang out from time to time, like a wind chime in the spring breeze, lightly echoing in the air. That laughter was full of childish innocence and purity, as if it could dispel all the haze in the world.
Aunt Song saw this heartwarming scene and smiled as brightly as the sun. That smile was full of relief and joy, and every wrinkle seemed to be telling of her inner satisfaction and joy. But behind that smile, there was still a hint of regret.
If only the gentleman could see it too. At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Aunt Song's eyes. She slapped her head hard and muttered, "I'm really getting old and confused."
She quickly took out her cell phone, took a picture of this extremely warm scene in the living room, and sent it to Huo Yan without hesitation.
at the same time.
Huo Yan was in a meeting in a spacious and solemn conference room. The conference room was huge, but filled with a depressing atmosphere. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and his tightly pursed thin lips were like a closed gate, locking all his emotions firmly in his heart.
Everyone who knows him knows that Mr. Huo is really angry.
The depressing atmosphere made people feel suffocated, as if the air had become heavy and people couldn't breathe smoothly.
Not far away, a customer service manager in a suit with a nervous expression was nodding and bowing continuously.
Beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, like beads from a broken string, and he couldn't stop them. He said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I didn't manage my employees well. I promise there won't be a next time."
Huo Yan had a sullen face and a gaze as sharp as a torch. It seemed that his gaze could penetrate everything, leaving no place for anyone to hide.
He was about to open his mouth to reprimand harshly, but at this moment, a "ding dong" sound suddenly rang in his ears.
The meeting room, which was originally so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Everyone lowered their heads at the same time, like children who had made a mistake, holding their breath unconsciously, trying hard to reduce their presence.
In their hearts, they were complaining madly.
Who the hell doesn’t want to live!
During the meeting, his cell phone was not on silent mode. I wonder if this is the kind of behavior that President Huo hates the most?
The account manager's face was ashen at this moment. He wiped the sweat from his forehead in despair. He could already imagine what kind of storm and severe punishment would be waiting for him. His heart was filled with fear and anxiety, as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, teetering on the edge of collapse.
However, Mr. Huo's rebuke was still not delivered.
A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the account manager. He raised his head cautiously and was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.
Huo Yan, who was in a state of rage just now, now looked like a cat whose fur was smoothed by a gentle hand. His brows relaxed slightly, and the terrifying low pressure in his body had long disappeared.
the most important is!
The man's slightly upturned mouth corners, the tenderness and joy that he inadvertently revealed, made people feel extremely surprised.
Mr. Huo is actually laughing?
The account manager blinked his eyes and took a long time to confirm that he was not mistaken. Mr. Huo was actually smiling.
He couldn't help but wonder, who sent the message to Huo Yan? Who had such a huge magical power that could calm his anger in an instant?
"Well, the meeting is adjourned."
Huo Yan stood up, leaving only these two short words, and then walked out without looking back. His firm steps seemed to carry some kind of eagerness and expectation.
