Chapter 22
“Alright, you guys go ahead, I’ll wait for you right here.”
Huo Jinlin holds their bags for them and sits down on a chair in the hospital corridor.
Who would have guessed that when Guo Warm and Lin Still both walked away, not long after Old Qin actually doubled back.
As soon as she sees him come out of the elevator, Huo Jinlin looks a little nervously at the end of the corridor not far away, but fortunately Lin still hasn’t returned yet.
“Didn’t you go back? How come you’re back again.”
His tone has a few hints of scolding, Old Qin is unsure, he glances around and doesn’t see Lin still them.
“They don’t know whose cell phone was left in my car, I sent it back to them.”
Old Qin was holding a cell phone in his hand, it was Guo Nuan’s.
“Leave it here, you can go back.”
Huo Jinlin’s tone is light, which makes Old Qin even more suspicious.
“Mr. Huo, what exactly are you hiding again, and when did you get married, how come I don’t know?”
The two usually get along well in private in addition to their superior/subordinate relationship in the company, and Old Qin even jokes with Huo Jinlin occasionally, but he’s never heard of him getting married.
Huo Jinlin looks a bit unnatural at the question, and doesn’t want to tell Old Qin the truth, so he can only knock him in the dark.
“Anyway, don’t expose yourself, just pretend you don’t know me, and don’t ever mention anything about me.”
Old Qin was puzzled and joked, “Mr. Huo, you …… shouldn’t be cheating on your marriage, right?”
“Screw you,” Huo Jinlin blushed unnaturally and raised his foot to kick him in the leg, coldly saying, “I don’t mind sending you to the company’s newly developed South African project.”
These words scared Old Qin and he waved his hand in a hurry, “No, no, no, I don’t want to go to that shithole of a place, Mr. Huo, don’t worry, I’ll keep this secret for you properly.”
That teasing look is obviously poking fun at him, Huo Jinlin is about to speak, but he catches a sharp glimpse of Lin still and the girls coming back.
Guo Nuan was puzzled, “Huh, Old Qin, didn’t you just leave, why are you back again?”
“Oh, you two don’t know whose cell phone fell in my car, I heard it keep ringing, so I hurriedly sent it back to you, you guys take a quick look, don’t be something important.”
“Sister Nuan, it’s yours.”
“Well, just now get off too anxious, actually did not notice, old Qin, thank you, again trouble you run this trip.”
Guo Nuan picked up the cell phone to see, there are a dozen missed calls on it, surprisingly all of her sister-in-law called, think nothing more than to scold her white-eyed wolf and so on, Guo Nuan do not want to pay attention to, and directly pressed the shutdown button.
Lin still did not move and hooked her lips, just now she was puzzled about the relationship between these two people, at this time, since Lao Qin came back, she decided to find out, to see what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd.
“Huo Jinlin, help Sister Nuan send this checklist to the doctor’s office, and by the way, ask the doctor if there are any precautions to take to see when we can leave.”
Huo Jinlin doesn’t even know her little plan, obediently taking the checklist and heading upstairs.
Seeing his rebellious appearance, Lao Qin suddenly smacks his lips, somewhat unaccustomed to it, usually used to his ferocious appearance as a wolf, for a while not used to his docile appearance as a sheep.
Seeing Old Qin staring at Huo Jinlin all the time, Lin still intuits that there must be clues in it, and she deliberately asks Old Qin in a sideways manner.
“I heard that you guys are from the same company?”
“Ah …… is that so?”
“Then why don’t you guys say hello, we are all coworkers!”
“Uh …… we’re not ……”
Old Qin didn’t understand what Lin still meant, and just when he didn’t know how to answer and almost missed the mark, Huo Jinlin came back in time.
“What are you chatting about, so happy.”
“Nothing,” Lin still deliberately said, “I just heard you say that you are a company, for you to ask, in the future we work together, more to take care of it.”
The old Qin heart a shock, the original just actually in the test himself, fortunately did not reveal, otherwise he was afraid to be Huo Jinlin this big devil sent to South Africa that inch of grass in the place to go.
Witty as he is, Huo Jinlin has long guessed that Lin still deliberately put him aside, he also does not poke holes in it, only faintly said: “The company is so big, it is impossible for everyone to recognize, I do not have much of an impression.”
Seeing that they’re still hiding and refusing to tell the truth, Lin still didn’t continue to press the issue, with this kind of relationship between Huo Jinlin and her, even if Huo Jinlin is intentionally hiding it from her, she’s not in a position to ask more.
“Well, then since we know each other now, we’re all friends.”
“Well,” Huo Jinlin’s tone is light, and turns to ask, “Are you uncomfortable anywhere, just now the doctor heard that you guys were injured in a fight, and asked me to ask you to see if there’s anything else on your body that’s uncomfortable, and if you’ll have internal injuries or something like that.”
“I’m fine, it’s a good thing that Old Qin and the other big brother stepped in in time, and Sister Nuan has been protecting me again.”
“Yo yo yo,” Guo Nuan on the side couldn’t hear it anymore, lightly coughed and teased, “Still, I always feel like you aren’t telling me the truth, this handsome man in your family, isn’t he quite good and devoted to you?”
“Eh…… really isn’t what you think.”
Guo Nuan has never believed that Lin still met Huo Jinlin in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and now that she’s seen how harmonious their relationship is, she naturally disbelieves it even more.
Lin still looked a little embarrassed by her teasing eyes, her face red like a ripe apple.
“Hehehe, shy? You girl, hiding it quite deeply?”
“Not talking to you, let’s go, we’re sending you back, Yi Yi is alone at home, I don’t feel at ease.”
Hearing this, Old Qin glanced at Huo Jinlin and quickly said knowingly, “You guys go first, I’ll just send her back.”
“Eh, that’s fine, then I’ll trouble you, Old Qin” Although she guessed that Huo Jinlin and Old Qin knew each other, and Huo Jinlin hadn’t spoken, so she thought that Old Qin shouldn’t be a bad person, but after all, she had just met him, so Lin was still a bit uneasy, and instructed, “Nuan sister, since that’s the case, send me a message when you get home… .”
“Okay, okay, got it, hurry home!”
All of this was seen by Huo Jinlin, he was touched in his heart, this girl in front of him was sentimental and meticulous, really very special.
In fact, during this period of time together, Huo Jinlin has already developed feelings for Lin still, without realizing it himself.
The two of them were speechless all the way, Lin still thinking about what happened just now, always feeling that Huo Jinlin was hiding something from her, and she felt uneasy.
As soon as she arrives home, she pulls Huo Jinlin to sit down and chat, deliberately saying, “No matter what, couples shouldn’t have too many secrets to hide from each other, I’ll never lie to you, but I also hope you’ll be honest with me.”
