Chapter 119 Follow Me Back to the Huo Family
His voice floated in the air, like the cold wind on a winter night, bringing with it a biting chill, mercilessly cutting Qiao Qin's heart.
Qiao Qin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was hoarse and broken, as if she was trying hard to suppress some emotion in her heart.
"Freedom?" Qiao Qin's voice was filled with deep doubt and disbelief. "Will you really give me freedom?"
There was a gleam of distrust in her eyes, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "It's just another exquisite cage. You only know how to force me. Even if you get my body, what does it matter? You will never get my true heart."
Huo Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and this sentence ignited the anger in his heart like a flame.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Qiao Qin's chin tightly, and forced her to look up at him, with indescribable emotions flashing in her deep eyes.
"How dare you--" His voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Netherworld, "Or, who do you like? An Jie Ke or some wild man?"
Qiao Qin tilted her face slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She bit her lower lip tightly, her voice trembling slightly, "No matter what, that person can't be you."
"Ah……"
A cold laugh filled the air. Huo Yan's hand slowly loosened, and his eyes were filled with indescribable gloom and anger. He declared coldly: "I'll give you half an hour to pack your things and then come back with me."
After saying this, without waiting for Qiao Qin to react, he suddenly opened the door and left with a determination that could not be ignored, as if staying for another second would make him lose control.
Huo Yan was afraid that if he continued to stay there, he would not be able to control his emotions and would do something irreparable and extreme to Qiao Qin.
As for her heart?
Huo Yan didn’t care at all. As long as she was by his side, it was enough. Sooner or later, her heart would belong to him and only to him.
......
Time flies.
Qiao Qin once again stepped into the Huo family's magnificent manor. It used to be a prison for her soul. Now that she returned again, she only felt an inexplicable depression in her heart.
Huo Yan's behavior became more unscrupulous. He deprived her of her freedom to communicate, isolated her from the outside world, and even meeting Huo Siqian became a luxury.
In the past, Huo Yan always came back early to spend those long nights with her. However, since the last fierce quarrel, he seemed to have chosen to escape, always busy with the company's affairs, and reluctant to return to this cold villa.
Now, Qiao Qin was the only one left in this huge villa. She sat alone in the empty room, surrounded by silence where she could only hear her own breathing. Loneliness and solitude surged in like a tide, drowning her.
Until the sound of a door opening broke the silence, she stood up quickly, but her eyes froze for a moment - Huo Yan was supported by a young woman and staggered in.
"Mr. Huo, please slow down." The woman's voice was like a spring breeze, soft and a little worried.
Her appearance was like ripples in Qiao Qin's heart, causing mixed feelings.
Huo Yan's cheeks flushed slightly, and his deep eyes were also somewhat hazy and blurred. He was obviously a little tipsy, and his steps were slightly shaky.
The young woman next to him was a new assistant in the company. She was still a stranger to Qiao Qin. However, her bright eyes recognized her identity the moment she saw Qiao Qin.
Fan Yunyun was slightly stunned, then she took the initiative to speak, her voice sweet and sincere: "You are Miss Qiao, right? Mr. Huo was a little drunk tonight, so I sent him back. I hope I didn't disturb you."
There was a hint of caution in her words, fearing that the elegant woman in front of her would misunderstand something. Her clear eyes were free of any distractions, and she was the type of little white rabbit that men love the most.
A complex emotion quietly flashed across the depths of Qiao Qin's eyes.
Once upon a time, Huo Yan had never had a female assistant by his side, let alone anyone who could touch him so closely. However, at this moment, all the rules seemed to have been quietly broken, like an invisible barrier being quietly torn apart.
Perhaps, he had been leaving home early and coming back late these days just for this assistant named Fan Yunyun, Qiao Qin thought silently in his heart.
But what could she say?
At this moment, she was like a bird with broken wings. She even began to hope that Huo Yan could truly fall in love with someone else so that she could be freed as soon as possible and leave the cage that imprisoned her freedom.
Qiao Qin turned her head slightly and glanced at the two people downstairs, with a barely perceptible sadness in her eyes. Then, she turned and walked towards the room, wanting to leave this space for them downstairs.
Just as Miss Qiao was immersed in her own thoughts, unexpectedly, Fan Yunyun's slightly abrupt voice came from behind her, and she gently called her.
"Miss Qiao, I understand that this may not be something I should say, but I really can't help it."
Fan Yunyun's lips trembled slightly, and her voice was firm and helpless. "Boss Huo, he has been in a very low mood recently. The burden of the company has made him breathless. He is so busy every day that he can hardly take a moment's rest. I am really afraid that one day his body will not be able to bear it."
Miss Qiao turned around and met Fan Yunyun's eyes full of worry. Her words were like cold stones, hitting Miss Qiao's heart heavily.
"Excuse me for being blunt, Miss Qiao, but you are really not worthy of being a wife." After Fan Yunyun finished speaking, the air in the living room seemed to freeze.
Miss Qiao's expression changed slightly. Fan Yunyun seemed to realize that her words were too hurtful. Her face turned red and she said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I'm just too excited, but I really hope you can take good care of Mr. Huo."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Yunyun left.
In the huge villa, only Huo Yan and Qiao Qin were left.
She looked at the drunken figure on the sofa, her heart filled with complicated emotions. Logically, she should hate him, but for some reason, when she saw him looking so tired and fragile, her originally cold heart softened a little.
Forget it.
Help him one last time.
Qiao Qin sighed, walked to Huo Yan, helped him up, and walked into the room step by step.
