My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

"lady?"

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Call an ambulance!"

Aunt Song came to deliver dinner. She called out a few times but got no response. Then she saw this scene when she opened the door.

The villa was in chaos.

When Qiao Qin woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling. The electrocardiogram monitor above her head kept beeping.

"Madam, you finally woke up." Aunt Song stayed by the bed all night, and her tiredness could not be concealed between her brows, but she still tried her best to stay awake.

Memories gradually return.

Qiao Qin's face was pale. She subconsciously touched her belly, her hands still shaking.

Aunt Song saw what she was thinking at a glance and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, the child is okay."

Only then did Qiao Qin breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the intense pain, she still felt a little scared.

"The doctor said that you were just frightened, which affected the baby in your belly, so you suddenly fainted from the pain." Aunt Song explained.

Qiao Qin's eyes flickered.

Of course she knew what Aunt Song meant by the shock. Even now, it felt like a needle was buried deep in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel the pain whenever she thought about it.

Suddenly.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and then the door of the ward was pushed open.

Qiao Qin turned around and looked.

What she saw was a familiar face. The deep eyebrows and eyes that she once loved the most had now become a nightmare.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Qin retracted her gaze, her tone somewhat cold.

Huo Shiyan raised his eyebrows: "I can't come?"

Qiao Qin turned her head away. She didn't know how to face the person in front of her.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Huo Shiyan frowned. Qiao Qin's behavior had become very strange since yesterday.

She seemed to be avoiding him.

"The doctor said you were frightened at home?" Huo Shiyan asked.

Qiao Qin lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, hiding the complex emotions within. She still said nothing, and was obviously unwilling to communicate.

After a while.

Huo Shiyan sighed and said seriously, "Let's talk."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Song had already tactfully left the bed.

Huo Shiyan pulled out a chair beside the bed and sat down, resting his hands on his knees and leaning forward slightly. "Tell me, what happened?"

He stared at Qiao Qin, his dark and deep eyes were like a whirlpool, sucking people in and revealing all the secrets.

Qiao Qin dodged her gaze: "No, it's okay."

next second.

The man pinched Qiao Qin's cheek hard and forced her to turn her head and look at him.

"What happened?"

"explain."

The tone was imperative, with a force that brooked no refusal.

A moment of silence.

"I saw it all." Qiao Qin said slowly.

Huo Shiyan frowned: "What did you see?"

Qiao Qin opened her red lips slightly and said word by word: "The file you put in the drawer."

Now that she had already opened her mouth, she decided to go all out and let out all the words that were pent up in her heart.

Qiao Qin took a deep breath and continued, "I met Bai Mengyi the night before yesterday. She said that Zhang Xiaohu was actually your man and that you planned the kidnapping. I didn't believe it until I saw the thick stack of files."

When she spoke the last part, her voice trembled a little.

"You have been investigating me, and you approached me with a purpose from the beginning, right?"

In the room, her questions, word by word, hit the air like drops of blood, causing invisible ripples.

Qiao Qin looked up at the man in front of her, trying to read any expression on that stern face.

however

Qiao Qin was disappointed, and all she got in response was silence.

Huo Shiyan didn't know what to say, because what she said was almost true.

Qiao Qin retracted her gaze, the light in her eyes completely shattered, like dead water without any ripples, she muttered to herself:

"I see."

Her voice was desperate and drifted in the air with the wind.

The atmosphere around was extremely depressing.

Qiao Qin lay on her side, tears falling uncontrollably, soon soaking the entire pillow.

Huo Shiyan's eyes deepened slightly. He stretched out his hand, and just as his fingertips were about to touch her cheek, he was suddenly dodged by her the next second.

"go out!"

Qiao Qin suddenly exploded, pointing at the door and yelling.

Huo Shiyan lowered his head and saw her red and swollen eyes, as well as the deep disappointment and disgust in her eyes.

Outside.

Aunt Song heard the noise inside and hurried over to persuade her, "Madam, calm down. The doctor said that you can't get too excited right now, otherwise you will alarm the baby."

Having said that, she turned and looked at Huo Shiyan again.

"Sir, why don't you go out first?"

......

Huo Shiyan left.

Qiao Qin's face was pale, and she was gasping for breath while holding her chest. Finally, the doctor came and gave her a sedative, and she was able to calm down.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Huo Shiyan never came to the hospital again, and Qiao Qin recovered little by little under Aunt Song's careful care and was soon discharged from the hospital.

Return to the company.

Qiao Qin stood at the door of the office, her hand slightly raised but frozen in mid-air, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in her heart.

She was a little afraid that she would see Huo Shiyan after entering.

At this time, the excited voice of the assistant came from behind.

"Sister Qiao, you're back. Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment, knowing that she could not delay any longer, she pushed forward with force, and the door slowly opened, but there was no one inside.

The assistant followed her gaze and said jokingly, "Sister Qiao is looking for Mr. Huo. He seems to have been on a business trip for several days. Didn't he tell you before?"

People in the company didn't know that problems had arisen between the two, and their memories were still stuck on the day they went to work holding hands.

Qiao Qin hummed, with no expression on her face, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Then change the subject: "Has anything happened in the company recently?"

The assistant's expression suddenly changed and he muttered something.

"A super annoying deputy director came from abroad."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Guangxi walked in with a young woman and introduced, "This is Lin Yue'er. She just returned from studying in Country A. She is currently serving as the deputy director and will be working under you from now on."

As he said this, he turned and looked at Lin Yue'er.

"Follow our sister Qiao carefully and learn from her. Even I envy her design talent."

Lin Yueer smiled and nodded, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She stretched out her hand to Qiao Qin, "I heard Director Lu mention you before. You are younger than I thought. Have you participated in any international design competitions?"

Qiao Qin shook her head.

She married into the Huo family shortly after graduation and came to work at Huo’s Jewelry. She didn’t know much about international design competitions.

“Is that so?” Lin Yue’er deliberately dragged out her tone, as if she was talking to herself: “After all, he is the company’s director and so young. I thought he would at least have won an award.”

Qiao Qin frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Cough cough cough." Lu Guangxi suddenly coughed violently, trying to alert the people around him.

Lin Yue'er finally reacted and covered her mouth to apologize: "I'm sorry, I've been abroad for a long time, so I speak a little bluntly. I hope you don't mind."

Qiao Qin hummed, but didn't take it to heart.

"I see. You can go out and work first."

Night falls quietly.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Qiao Qin was still dealing with the work that had piled up last week when she saw the young assistant running in angrily.

"Sister Qiao, please take care of that newcomer."

The visitor's face was full of anxiety, as if he was about to cry.

Qiao Qin raised her head and put down her pen. "What's going on?"

The young assistant widened his eyes in anger and frowned as if he could pinch a fly to death.

"That Lin Yue'er is saying bad things about you everywhere, and she's even belittling your design. In short, it's really too much. You'll know if you go and listen."

In the tea room.

"Yuer, you are so amazing. How do you know everything?" someone said admiringly.

Another person nodded and said, "As expected of a top student who graduated from a prestigious university, he can point out the problem so quickly."

Lin Yue'er folded her hands across her chest with her chin slightly raised. Although she didn't say anything, her arrogant attitude was already written on her face.

She then commented: "This design is too conservative, without any innovation, and has long been outdated internationally."

Others nodded.

"That's true. I have the impression that only my mother would wear this kind of necklace."

"It was quite amazing when I first saw it, but after hearing what Yue'er said, it is indeed a bit mediocre."

"Why call her Yue'er? You should call her Director Lin."

"Don't yell, I'm just the deputy director." Lin Yue'er corrected, then shook her head: "But her design draft does have problems. She doesn't understand the tastes of young people and can't keep up with the trend. Sooner or later, she will be eliminated."

Everyone was discussing so intensely that they didn't notice two figures appearing at the door.

The young assistant was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes flashed with anger, and he took a step forward to rush out to argue with those people.

Followed by.

"Don't worry about them." Qiao Qin held her hand and lowered her voice.

The assistant was still angry and gritted her teeth and said, "Why? How can they say that about you? It's obvious that the customer group of that design draft is our parents' generation!"

Qiao Qin shook her head and took her out of the tea room.

However, the sounds of laughter and chattering continued to be heard from inside.

"Yuer, don't forget us when you become the director."

"It's not even a scratch yet, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

"It's almost time. I see Sister Qiao's belly is getting bigger. She should be giving birth soon. After she goes on maternity leave, who else can take the position of director except you?"

"Hahahaha, I'm borrowing your good words."

......

Qiao Qin returned to the office with no expression on her face.

Instead, the assistant next to her said angrily, "Sister Qiao, why did you stop me just now? Those people are really too much."

Qiao Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "I remember there is an international design competition next month, right?"

The assistant's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Yes, I didn't help you sign up because you said you didn't want to participate. But the company seems to still have vacancies. Sister Qiao, have you finally decided to take action?"
