Chapter 266: Asking for punishment and meeting in the dark.
However, in a moment, Huang Xiaoxiao regained her usual gentleness, and her watery eyes fell on the handsome Wei Xianglin: "You're here? Please sit down."
When Wei Xianglin heard what Huang Xiaoxiao said, he looked a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, put the fruit basket on the table, greeted his boss Jiang Qianxun first, and then looked at Huang Xiaoxiao.
"How is your wound now? Is it still painful?"
"The wound should be healing well. Thank you for coming to see me... Don't stand, please sit down." She said, pointing to the sofa some distance away from the bed.
Wei Xianglin was an optimistic and talkative person. Seeing that the atmosphere was quite harmonious, he sat down very politely. While watching Jiang Qianxun feed Huang Xiaoxiao soup, he exchanged a few words with the two girls and later talked about the department's recent work.
The three of them stayed together like this for a few minutes, until Jiang Qianxun finished feeding Huang Xiaoxiao the soup in her hand. It seemed that she still had a lot to say.
This seems a little different from Huang Xiaoxiao's usual quiet temperament.
Jiang Qianxun glanced at Huang Xiaoxiao in confusion, then glanced at Wei Xianglin who kept looking at Huang Xiaoxiao from time to time. Thinking that they were in a relationship of pursuer and pursued, she was about to find an excuse to leave.
Unexpectedly, Wei Xianglin spoke first.
"Director An, I came to the hospital this time not only to visit Xiaoxiao, but also to say a few words to her. Could you please step aside for a moment?"
Jiang Qianxun handed the bowl in her hand to driver Nie, and stood up at the same time, smiling calmly: "I was just about to say goodbye, but I didn't expect you to be quicker than me. Then you guys chat slowly, I'll go back to the company first."
After saying that, Jiang Qianxun stood up and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, Huang Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand and said, "Qianxun, stay with me for a while, don't go out yet."
Jiang Qianxun was slightly startled, and her hand retracted as if she had received an electric shock, as if she wanted to pull her hand back: "This is not good, I think Wei Xianglin seems to have something private to tell you."
"There's nothing particularly private. It's the same here." Huang Xiaoxiao's face was full of pleading, like a poor puppy. She didn't even look at Wei Xianglin the whole time.
Seeing this, Wei Xianglin's usually warm expression was tinged with a hint of displeasure, and he looked at Huang Xiaoxiao.
But Huang Xiaoxiao only looked at Jiang Qianxun.
Jiang Qianxun then became embarrassed. She couldn't leave, nor could she stay.
What's more, she was accompanied by driver Nie, bodyguards and others.
The atmosphere fell into dead silence for a moment.
Seeing that no one moved, Wei Xianglin smiled helplessly and simply ignored it. He just spoke out what was in his heart in front of so many people.
"Okay, since you don't care, I'll get straight to the point." Wei Xianglin looked at Huang Xiaoxiao with a wry smile on his face. "Strictly speaking, it's not a particularly private matter. I just have a question for you. You were injured, and your colleagues in the same department called you, and you answered the phone. Why did you treat me like a plague and not answer my calls?"
Huang Xiaoxiao listened without even raising her head. She just held Jiang Qianxun's hand and sat quietly on the bed, like a sculpture.
Wei Xianglin's big eyes, which were always open and happy, gradually became sad when he saw this. He continued, "At first, I thought I wasn't doing a good enough job as a boyfriend, or I did something wrong, so you stayed away from me. I sent you a message, but you didn't even reply. I told you that I was going to the hospital to see you, and you replied that it was not necessary."
"Jin Xiaoan and the others sent a representative to see you last night, so why can't I come? Now I've come despite your request and have talked for more than ten minutes. Apart from looking at me when I first entered the door, you basically treated me as if I didn't exist, as if you were tired of me! That's why I want to ask you why."
At the end of his speech, Wei Xianglin's eyes were filled with sadness as he looked at Huang Xiaoxiao, who seemed still very weak on the hospital bed.
Jiang Qianxun, driver Nie and others also looked at the silent Huang Xiaoxiao calmly.
Perhaps feeling everyone's gaze, Huang Xiaoxiao, who had been silent the whole time, finally let go of Jiang Qianxun's hand and looked up at the handsome man sitting on the sofa.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Mr. Wei, you and I are both adults. I was seriously injured, but I didn't let you come. I thought you should understand what I meant."
Wei Xianglin shook his head, staring at the pretty woman in front of him, even though she was wearing a hospital gown. "I don't understand."
The corners of Huang Xiaoxiao's slightly curved lips turned straight: "It means that we can't have a relationship. I don't have any feelings for you."
After these words were spoken, the light in Wei Xianglin's eyes completely disappeared. He pursed his lips, suddenly stood up, and looked unbelieving.
There was dead silence.
After a while, Wei Xianglin spoke again, his eyes still filled with disbelief: "Xiaoxiao, you clearly said at the beginning that you had a good impression of me. I think you are also very good, with a calm temperament, not utilitarian, and very indifferent. How come you suddenly say that it is not suitable?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Is there something I did wrong? Tell me, I can change it. I don't like to lie and I am brave enough to change. Your parents know this. Can you tell me?"
When saying this, Wei Xianglin's tone was almost pleading, and his eyes were full of love. It was not difficult to see that Wei Xianglin was serious about this relationship.
"No, you're fine!" Huang Xiaoxiao replied.
Wei Xianglin was even more confused: "There is no reason. I know. It's because you don't know me well enough. Otherwise, give me another chance, just once. I will spend more time with you in the future. I am a person..."
"Really!" Huang Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted him: "Mr. Wei, I told you, you are very good, but I just don't have any feelings for you. As for why I don't have any feelings, to be honest, I don't know. Even if you ask me ten thousand times, I can't explain it clearly! Love needs to rely on feelings..."
"So, let's stop here. Love can't be forced. You also said that in a city like Beijing, most people pursue speed and efficiency. Since I don't have any feelings for you, there is no need for you to waste your time and energy on me and cause trouble to each other!"
Huang Xiaoxiao's attitude was very firm.
Seeing this, Wei Xianglin, no matter how dumb he was, understood that this relationship had to end here. He closed his eyes in despair, and after several seconds, he raised his head. He had concealed most of the sadness in his eyes, and what remained was only confusion.
"Okay, since you've said that, I respect you and that's it. But before I leave, I want to ask you one last question. Do you have someone else in your heart?"
Huang Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Because you're always not right. Usually when I ask you out, you always agree, but you're always absent-minded. The most obvious thing was recently. Oh, two nights before that charity event that made a national sensation, you accompanied me to the concert. During the intermission, you dozed off. I seemed to hear you say someone's name, but I couldn't hear it clearly. Afterwards, I asked you and you said it was just a dream. But I always felt that something was wrong with you, but I couldn't tell what was wrong."
As he spoke, Wei Xianglin stared at Huang Xiaoxiao closely.
After hearing this, Jiang Qianxun immediately thought of the question he had not yet had time to ask, and looked at Huang Xiaoxiao.
Perhaps feeling Jiang Qianxun's gaze, Huang Xiaoxiao also looked at her, but soon she lowered her head again. The atmosphere was quiet for more than ten seconds. Finally, Huang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"I don't have anyone in my heart. If I had someone in my heart, and I were still talking to you, then what kind of person would I be? There's nothing wrong. You're overthinking it. Don't ask me anymore. Let's go. Let's start well and end well. We can be decent to each other and still be colleagues in the future."
When Wei Xianglin saw Huang Xiaoxiao's sincere expression, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly.
"Maybe. I thought you had someone in your heart, but for some reason, you used me as a shield. It seems that I was just being mean."
"Okay. Then I won't ask anymore. I, Wei Xianglin, am not the kind of person who can't let go of something. I can't do anything to pester you. Now that we have made it clear, I will keep a proper distance from you in the future."
After saying that, Wei Xianglin had regained his usual cheerful smile: "Then Miss Huang, you should take good care of your injuries. Director An, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Wei Xianglin nodded to Jiang Qianxun, turned around and left without waiting for her answer.
Jiang Qianxun looked at Wei Xianglin's straight back. Somehow, in her mind, the names of the people Huang Xiaoxiao had called out at the concert and the word "Ming Yu" that Huang Xiaoxiao had shouted a few days ago gradually overlapped.
There is an answer that seems to be on the horizon.
At this moment, she really wanted to ask Huang Xiaoxiao again, just for an answer.
But when she turned around, she saw Huang Xiaoxiao's face was pale, her expression and condition were very bad, and there were wounds on her body. She thought about it and decided not to ask for the time being.
In fact, whether you ask or not, the result will be the same in the matter of Xing Ming Yu.
She would indeed fall into a cycle of insecurity, and she knew that Mr. Xing was very dissatisfied with her. It was also possible that Huang Xiaoxiao really liked Xing Mingyu.
But Xing Mingyu's attitude towards her was very clear. She had a deep feeling for his performance at the charity event, his determination in confronting Old Man Xing, and the sense of security he gave her in private.
Xie Qiong and Madam Xing also supported her very much.
The most important thing is herself. What she said to Qin Chuan that night was all from the heart.
The child's father, there is no reason for her to give up to anyone, she is not a saint...
Her life experiences since childhood also taught her that once she has made up her mind, she must fight for it bravely. If others want it, she must give it to them. Hua Wen would have been taken away by Jiang Wenyuan long ago, and her life would have entered the countdown when she was fourteen years old. She would not be who she is now!
Thinking of this, the haze in Jiang Qianxun's heart began to dissipate gradually. Seeing the soup she brought, Huang Xiaoxiao also drank it. Thinking that she would have to go back to Xing's to work soon, she didn't plan to stay.
So she turned around, said a few words of comfort to Huang Xiaoxiao and left.
"Xiaoxiao, are you still worried about Wei Xianglin?"
Huang Xiaoxiao turned around absentmindedly, smiling reluctantly: "No, I'm fine. I probably sat for too long and the wound hurts a little. I'll be fine after lying down for a while."
"Then I'll call a doctor for you." Jiang Qianxun wanted to go out.
"No, no! The doctor said that it will be a little painful in the first few days, but it will be much better later!" Huang Xiaoxiao held her again.
Jiang Qianxun tilted her head and looked at her: "You don't have the final say on the matter of the wound. I'll call a doctor to come and check it out for you right away. Otherwise, the wound will heal slowly and you'll have to stay in this hospital for a long time. If you lie here every day, you'll definitely get bored after a while."
After saying that, Jiang Qianxun glanced at driver Nie.
Driver Nie received the order and wanted to go out.
"I really can't!" Huang Xiaoxiao wanted to get up again.
Seeing this, Jiang Qianxun turned around and looked at Huang Xiaoxiao in confusion, but she finally obeyed.
"Okay, since you said you don't need it, I won't force you. As for Wei Xianglin's matter, I think he has a good personality and he shouldn't bother you. Just relax and take good care of yourself. I'll arrange for Uncle Jiang to bring your favorite soup later."
Huang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Jiang Qianxun, whose features were gentle and who was obviously much more talkative than half an hour ago. After a moment, she smiled back.
"Okay. Chihiro, you go ahead and get busy then."
Jiang Qianxun bent down to tuck the quilt for Huang Xiaoxiao, then went out with the lunch box and walked towards the exclusive elevator.
