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

She took a deep breath, tried her best to calm the anger in her heart, and decided not to listen to the nonsense of the person in front of her.

"From now on, your work is over." Qiao Qin's voice was cold and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

When Qu Guixin heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Losing this job means losing a stable income. The creditors will come to the door, and the family life will fall into chaos. Moreover, she knew that there would never be another job as easy and well-paid as the Huo family.

"Miss Qiao... No, Madam, I... I know I was wrong." Qu Guixin's voice was trembling, with a hint of tears in her voice, "I was blinded by greed for a moment, and I will never dare to do it again. Please give me a chance, I really need this job."

pity.

Qiao Qin looked at everything with an expressionless face. There must be something hateful about pitiful people, and she would no longer be soft-hearted.

"Chance? You've already used it up." Qiao Qin's voice became even colder. "Remember, this is not a place where you can act wild as you please. Go away. I don't want to see you again."

The sound from upstairs was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the surrounding tranquility and attracting everyone's attention.

The housekeeper stood downstairs, frowning. From those fragmented and intermittent sounds, he quickly pieced together the outline of the whole incident like a detective. His face turned gloomy in an instant. After all, he had personally found Qu Guixin.

He looked up at the building, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, and whispered to himself: "I thought you were a grateful person, and I felt sorry for you, so I wanted to give you a chance so that you could have a place to settle down. I didn't expect that you would be so ungrateful... Are you worthy of Madam's kindness?"

Qiao Qin stood aside, listening to the housekeeper's rebuke, but her heart was calm. She shook her head gently and said calmly: "Forget it, since it has already happened, it is useless to pursue it. Just let her leave."

Her voice was calm and soft, yet it carried an unquestionable firmness.

Qu Guixin has been immersed in tears for a long time, but her crying did not seem to bring any changes, but instead made her feel deeply regretful. She thought silently that if she had been able to abide by the law and work diligently, she might not have ended up like this, at least she would not have been forced to leave the place where she once thought she could settle down.

Qu Guixin slowly raised her head, tears blurred her vision, but she could still see Qiao Qin clearly. At that moment, the jealousy in her heart burned like a blazing flame.

They were both students of A University and came from ordinary family backgrounds. Qu Guixin was even a few years younger than Qiao Qin, and she thought she was as beautiful as her. However, fate was so unfair. Why couldn't she be Mrs. Huo?

Qu Guixin's heart was filled with resentment and anger.

"Looking at your condescending look, do you feel very proud of yourself?"

Seeing that there was little hope left, Qu Guixin finally tore off the veil of disguise, her tone full of jealousy and unwillingness. She said sarcastically, "Don't think I don't know how you married Mr. Huo. I've heard those rumors so many times that my ears are almost callused. We all have the same dream, wanting to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. What's the difference between you and me in essence? It's just that you're a little bit luckier than me."

Qiao Qin was stunned by these words. She didn't expect that Qu Guixin, who usually looked decent, actually had such thoughts in her heart.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurried forward, covered Qu Guixin's mouth with his hands, and whispered: "Madam, please don't bother with her. I will take her away now."

Qu Guixin was dragged away mercilessly, but her sharp words were like a sharp arrow, piercing deeply into Qiao Qin's heart.

indeed so.

She was lucky to meet Huo Yan when her father was critically ill and urgently needed money for surgery, but she was definitely different from Qu Guixin.

Qiao Qin's eyes flickered, and a hint of stubborn pride quietly emerged on her usually gentle and peaceful face, a sharpness she had never shown before.

She has her own principles and bottom line, and will never allow herself to do anything that violates morality and destroys other people's families. If fate had not allowed her to meet Huo Yan, she might have chosen to work like crazy and try her best to earn the money for the life-saving surgery.

The next second, the door behind him opened without warning, making a slight creaking sound, breaking the silence of the night.

Qiao Qin's heart trembled suddenly, she slowly turned around and looked at the figure at the door.

Huo Yan stood there, dressed neatly. His eyes looked particularly deep in the night, as if they could swallow up all the darkness, but his expression was calm and almost indifferent, without any sign of sleepiness.

"Did you hear everything?" Qiao Qin's voice trembled a little. She tried to read Huo Yan's thoughts from his eyes, but there seemed to be a bottomless whirlpool there, preventing her from seeing his true emotions.

Huo Yan didn't say anything, but just quietly stretched out his hands and gently held her in his arms.

His embrace was warm and solid, like a solid fortress, allowing Qiao Qin's panicked heart to gradually find support.

She leaned on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling the warmth coming from his body, and her originally stiff body slowly relaxed in his embrace.

Then, she mustered up her courage, raised her head, looked into his eyes, and asked nervously, "So what do you think?"

Based on what Qu Guixin said just now, do you think she is also a gold-digger who is after money?

Huo Yan nodded slightly, and his fingers gently brushed over a strand of Qiao Qin's hair. The silky touch slipped gently between his fingers, like a breeze on the strings of a guitar.

His eyes were deep, like the stars in the night sky, shining with determination and warmth, and the only thing reflected in them was Qiao Qin's figure.

"I didn't think too much about it. As long as it's you, no matter what you look like, I'm happy."

Huo Yan's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate Qiao Qin's heart.

No matter what purpose Qiao Qin had in approaching him, they have now become indispensable in each other's lives, just like a close couple, supporting each other and moving forward together.

Qiao Qin felt Huo Yan's gentleness and firmness, and the emotion in her heart surged like a tide. She leaned lightly on Huo Yan's shoulder, as if she had found the most solid support.

At this moment, all the troubles and doubts disappeared, leaving only the two of them leaning on each other, quietly flowing in the long river of time.
