Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst

The beauty was startled, her face looking not so good. She said, "Sinan, I didn’t mean anything else, just find it strange, didn’t you say that Little Xingxing’s mom had died?"

Huo Sinan’s face changed, looking rather unpleasant.

Little Xingxing’s eyes widened, tears swirling in them but not falling. He cried out in a childish voice, "My mom is not dead, auntie is bad!"

The beauty was very embarrassed, and said to Little Xingxing, "Your dad said it, not me."

Little Xingxing was about to cry, unable to hold back he retorted, "Auntie is bad."

A cold look flashed across Qiao Rui’s eyes. Speaking in front of a three-year-old child saying his mother is dead, her intentions were not kind.

Huo Sinan was also extremely annoyed, his eyebrows tightly furrowed as he barked sternly, "Yu Xin, you can shut up now."

The beauty, named Yu Xin, also happened to be a pampered daughter of a prominent family, naturally could not stand being treated this way.

She was very angry at being scolded by Huo Sinan,

Yu Xin swept a cold glance toward Qiao Rui, her eyes filled with hostility. She didn’t shut up but instead directly asked Qiao Rui, "Are you really Little Xingxing’s mom?"

Qiao Rui was just about to speak.

But it was Huo Sinan who spoke first, saying to Qiao Rui, "Yes, she is my son’s mom, Yu Xin, you can go home now."

Yu Xin was stunned, "Huo Sinan, is she really Little Xingxing’s mom?"

"Yes, you can leave now," Huo Sinan continued to order her away, giving no face at all.

Qiao Rui and Song Muyu were both extremely astounded.

Qiao Rui was speechless at being manipulated by Huo Sinan.

This man was also a domineering and unreasonable person, using others carelessly, especially in such a reputation-related matter.

Although she didn’t mind, she also preferred to keep a low profile and did not want to make enemies.

Qiao Rui wanted to explain, but when Huo Sinan looked at her, his eyes held a hint of apology and pleading.

Qiao Rui paused, swallowing back the explanation that had reached her mouth.

Seeing that she didn’t explain, and was exchanging meaningful glances with Huo Sinan, Yu Xin’s eyes immediately reddened, and she stomped her foot before running out.

It was then that Huo Sinan said to Qiao Rui, "I am sorry, there re reasons behind what happened just now, and I hope you can understand."

"We can’t understand," Song Muyu said solemnly, "You use people like that without considering their feelings at all, it’s too much."

Huo Sinan, seeing how sharp Song Muyu’s words were, knew her typically fiery temper.

Thus, he just gave Song Muyu an apologetic glance and then turned his gaze to Qiao Rui, his eyes filled with guilt, and sincerely apologized, "I’m sorry, Yu Xin is an arranged marriage partner set up by my family, which I have always been ignoring. Today’s incident might mean she won’t bother me anymore."

"There is that possibility, but I’m afraid I will be targeted by Miss Yu," Qiao Rui spoke up.

Huo Sinan was stunned, not expecting Qiao Rui to say that.

He was a bit taken aback, thinking that Qiao Rui was an easygoing girl.

Qiao Rui had seen the complexity in Huo Sinan’s eyes and calmly spoke his thoughts, "Mr. Huo, you think I can be easily talked to because I show pity for Little Xingxing, so you used me without my consent."

Huo Sinan looked at Qiao Rui, a flicker of light passing through his eyes.

The beautiful girl in front of him was indeed a clever and smart woman.

"I’m sorry, that is indeed what I thought," Huo Sinan smiled, revealing a rare embarrassed expression.

"Just this once, and never again," Qiao Rui did not hold onto the matter further.

"Thank you," Huo Sinan immediately smiled, "I haven’t asked for the lady’s name yet."

Qiao Rui said, "Ruirui, the Rui from Rui Qing, that’s my name too."

Huo Sinan was clearly startled.

Qiao Rui did not pay attention to his confusion.

Song Muyu scoffed lightly, "Mr. Huo, you better take your son back, Ruirui and I still have things to do."

Seeing them about to leave, Huo Sinan’s son tightly clenched around Qiao Rui’s neck, not letting her leave.

He was a bit troubled for a moment.

"Alright then, Miss Rui, Miss Song, let me invite you both to a meal. At this rate, my son won’t calm down anytime soon; how about you do me the honor?"

Song Muyu looked at Qiao Rui.

Indeed, Qiao Rui hadn’t eaten yet.

She didn’t stand on ceremony. "Then I’ll trouble Mr. Huo."

"Not at all, not at all." Huo Sinan immediately led them to book another private room for dinner.

Little Xingxing ate a lot of food in front of Qiao Rui, and he was the happiest this afternoon.

However, after dinner, he still clung to Qiao Rui, unwilling to let her leave.

Having no choice, Qiao Rui had to take Little Xingxing back with Huo Sinan.

Song Muyu had no choice but to listen to Qiao Rui.

In the car ride back, Qiao Rui held the child and sat in the back seat.

Before long, Little Xingxing fell asleep, nestled in Qiao Rui’s arms, sleeping especially sweetly.

Looking at the child’s tender, fair face, Qiao Rui’s gaze softened a lot.

Huo Sinan, who was driving at the front, looked at Qiao Rui through the rearview mirror, feeling her gaze was truly gentle, and he momentarily paused before speaking, "Miss Rui, I really appreciate your help today."

"Mr. Huo is too polite, it was just a small effort," Qiao Rui said softly, looking down, not minding at all.

Huo Sinan looked at her again and asked, "I wonder if Miss Rui could leave me a contact number? I might trouble you again in the future."

"Mr. Huo, this may only be a temporary solution," Qiao Rui remained calm.

She was not Little Xingxing’s mother.

The child needed his mother, his biological mother, and she was not that.

Huo Sinan was startled, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes.

He sighed, "I can’t give my son his biological mother."

Qiao Rui softly said, "Mr. Huo is a wise man, you know better than me what kind of life the child needs."

Huo Sinan sighed, "Can’t I really even keep a contact number? Even just as friends."

Qiao Rui lowered her eyes slightly, as if in thought.

After a long while, she finally said, "Okay, that would be alright."

Thus, she reported a string of phone numbers.

Huo Sinan memorized it immediately.

His gaze was deep, through the rearview mirror, his eyes settling on Qiao Rui’s face, his lips tightly pressed, his dark eyes unfathomable.

Upon returning to the Huo family house, Huo Sinan immediately called the nanny to take his son back.

He prepared to drive Qiao Rui back.

But Qiao Rui refused.

She got out of the car on her own, saying, "I still have things to do, Mr. Huo, please go ahead with your commitments."

"I’m not busy." Huo Sinan got out of the car, stood by the side, and said, "Let me drive you."

Qiao Rui’s gaze was indifferent, the intent to refuse clear. "There’s no need, I don’t like being disturbed."

With those words, she turned around and left.

Huo Sinan watched her departing figure, his gaze deep.

He didn’t follow her.

Checking his watch, he realized that he had taken up several hours of her time today, indeed it wouldn’t be right to disturb her further.

This Miss Rui, kind and principled, outwardly gentle, but with a cool demeanor, not so easy to approach, getting her contact information was already quite good.

Huo Sinan took out his mobile phone and entered the number he had just received.

Then, he sent a message: Though I have a child, I am not a tiger, you don’t have to be afraid.

The message was sent, and immediately a reply came back: Who are you?

Huo Sinan frowned: Huo Sinan.

A message came back from the other side: You’re sick.

He immediately made a phone call.

Unexpectedly, it was Song Muyu who answered.

"Mr. Huo, if you are sick, you should seek treatment!"
