Chapter 47: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 47: Don’t You Want To?
In the office of Huo Xingjian, she thought it was him returning. In her panic, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. For a brief moment, her mind went blank, unsure of how to explain her ability to walk again.
"Xingjian..."
"It’s me." Huo Xinglang’s gentle voice rang out.
At once, Li Qinxue, like a limp shrimp, collapsed into the chair, her face ashen, her lips faintly purple. Her fear was palpable.
"Ugh…" As Huo Xinglang walked closer, she suddenly threw herself into his arms, clutching his waist, burying her face there, whimpering, "You scared me! I thought he was back."
"He still doesn’t know my legs are better. How could you scare me like that?" She sobbed, lightly hitting his back.
This was truly her way of acting like a spoiled girlfriend.
Huo Xinglang didn’t speak, letting her hold and hit him. He understood that the meeting Huo Xingjian was in wouldn’t end so soon. Today was a high-level company meeting that he was supposed to attend, but since Huo Xingjian had forcefully taken back the project from him, there was no need for him to attend.
It was fortunate that Huo Xingjian had given him this chance.
"Alright, stop crying," he said, gently patting her back to console her. "You’ll end up with swollen eyes if you cry too much."
"Do you still care about whether I look good or not?" Li Qinxue snorted angrily, pulling away from his embrace and pushing him away. "Didn’t you say that between us, we could only be friends? That we could only be in-laws in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xinglang’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Qinxue, don’t you know why I’m doing this?" His tone turned sorrowful as he looked at her, his eyes full of pain. "You think I want this? You know how I feel about you, don’t you?"
"Sending you to someone else is more painful than death. But what can I do? I’m just a nephew who was given charity by the Huo family."
"I have to be grateful. How could I possibly compete with Xingjian for you?"
"I’m just a vice president at Wen’s company. As long as Xingjian is happy, I’m the vice president. If he’s not, I could be kicked out of the company anytime."
"The project I had is already taken away. Wen company belongs to Xingjian, not to our Huo family!"
Li Qinxue looked at him awkwardly, tears welling in her eyes. Her pale face made her look even more fragile and helpless, adding a tragic beauty to her appearance.
"I know your difficulties, I’m just sad," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Why can’t we be together, even though we love each other?"
"Unless the company becomes our Huo family's company, and I take Xingjian’s position." Huo Xinglang gazed at her deeply, his words measured.
He held her face with both hands, and their eyes locked.
Li Qinxue raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, ready to fall. Her gaze was full of pain, creating an image of someone who was both pitiable and beautiful.
"I can help you with something?" She asked softly.
"I don’t need you to do anything for me," Huo Xinglang shook his head. "I just want you to be happy. Forget about me, forget about our past."
"Xingjian is more suitable for you. He will love and take care of you. As for me, I can offer you nothing. You are the best woman in the world, and you deserve the best."
Huo Xinglang understood Li Qinxue very well. The more he said these things, the more she would cling to him.
For the past three years, hadn’t she been slowly getting closer to Huo Xingjian, making him notice her and fall in love with her?
"Okay!" Li Qinxue took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision, her expression pained. "If you think this is the best choice for both of us, I’ll respect it."
"I’ll try to forget you, and listen to you by liking Xingjian."
Huo Xinglang was stunned, his confusion evident.
What did that mean? How was this different from what he had expected?
She was supposed to say, "But I can’t do it. I can’t forget you. I love you so much, so deeply. I’m willing to do anything for you, even get close to Xingjian."
Why did it suddenly turn into her saying she would forget him?
He looked at her in confusion, hoping to find some explanation in her eyes.
But all he saw was pain, pain that seemed forced upon her.
Huo Xinglang sighed deeply, then said in a low voice, "Anyway, be careful. I feel like Xingjian’s attitude towards Shen Cheng is changing."
"It’s not just Xingjian; even Yushu and my second aunt seem to like Shen Cheng more now."
Li Qinxue had sensed this too, and a flash of hatred crossed her eyes. "Who knows what Shen Cheng did to them. If I had known, I should’ve woken up sooner. Now, I’m just passively stuck."
Before her coma, everything had been proceeding according to their plan.
But now... it felt like they were straying from their original course.
"What should we do now?" She looked at Huo Xinglang, her eyes filled with helplessness, "What if... um..."
She didn’t finish her sentence before Huo Xinglang leaned down, cupping her face, and kissed her deeply.
Despite the importance of his goals, Li Qinxue still held some weight in his heart. After all, they were each other's first love, and they had shared so many beautiful memories together.
Their first time, their first kiss, had been with each other.
Hadn’t he decided to do this because he had noticed Huo Xingjian’s feelings for Li Qinxue?
And the most important reason was that he wanted to experience what it felt like to be with the woman he had liked for so long in Xingjian’s office, sitting in his chair.
Yes, he was jealous of Huo Xingjian.
Why was it that, despite being both sons of Huo Yunshan, he had to live in Xingjian’s shadow? Why couldn’t he just openly acknowledge his own identity, why was he always just the nephew, always playing the background to make Huo Xingjian look even more superior?
If that’s the case, then step by step, slowly, he would destroy everything Huo Xingjian had and take it all for himself. He wanted Huo Xingjian to taste what it felt like to have nothing.
"Stop..." Li Qinxue murmured softly.
"Don’t you want to? In Xingjian’s office, in the chair he sat in?" Huo Xinglang whispered in her ear, tempting her.
