Secretary Jiang throws out the divorce papers, and President Huo loses control with red eyes.

Chapter 15 The Reincarnation of a Vinegar Spirit

Even though her sweet and crisp voice called out "Mommy!" was slightly interrupted, it was still incredibly endearing.

Because the little girl was so adorable, Jiang Qin automatically ignored any potential ambiguity. She couldn't help but bend down to talk to her, but before she could speak, a tall, gentle man strode up in front of her.

"I'm sorry." It was Wen Chen.

"Duoduo, let go of your sister." Wen Chen squatted down and gently hugged the little girl. The little girl clearly didn't want to let go, but he quickly diverted her attention. "Daddy bought you a new fairy tale picture book. Shall we go upstairs to read it?"

The little girl let go, and the man took the opportunity to pick her up and stand up straight, giving Jiang Qin a somewhat apologetic smile.

Jiang Qin smiled back, walked to the sofa and sat down, drinking a glass of water while looking at Huo Sili beside her.

Wen Chen carried Duo Duo over. "The child is fussy, Mr. Huo. Please wait for me. I'll go upstairs and put her to sleep."

Huo Sili nodded slightly. Wen Chen then looked at a slightly older man who looked like a butler and said, "Uncle Wen, please take good care of Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo." After saying that, he carried Duoduo into the elevator.

Jiang Qin, on the other hand, was quite surprised by the title "Mrs. Huo".

In her memory, this seemed to be the first time she had ever heard anyone call her that.

However, perhaps because she no longer loves Horstley as she once did, she no longer feels the same sweetness when she hears this address now as she once did when she longed to hear it.

Instead, a sense of disgust arose – Mrs. Huo, Huo Sili's wife?

Ha, the wife of a cheating scumbag, whoever wants to be her can be her!

Jiang Qin didn't notice that when Wen Chen addressed her as Mrs. Huo, Huo Sili's eyes, which had suddenly darkened when he saw her being hugged by the little girl and called her "Mom," suddenly brightened considerably.

While waiting, Jiang Qin continued to ponder that important matter. Perhaps because she was charmed by the adorable little girl from earlier, Jiang Qin became even more convinced of her own heart and that she really wanted to keep the child.

She knew she had made a choice, but before making a final decision, she planned to take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm.

Jiang Qin checked Huo Sili's and her own work schedules, and then thought about how she didn't know the exact expiration date of the ticket Xie Youan had given her, and that she was going to treat Xie Youan to dinner next Wednesday night.

I've only marked a few free times for now. I'll have to wait until I get back to Yunhai Huafu tonight, find the exhibition tickets, and check the times before I can decide on the specific dates.

Wen Chen spent nearly half an hour coaxing Duo Duo to sleep. When he came down, the man looked apologetic. Huo Sili didn't say anything and got straight to the point.

The terms of the project cooperation between the Huo and Wen families had already been finalized, and Wen Chen and Huo Sili were on good terms, so Jiang Qin was naturally not too worried.

Unexpectedly, the two talked for a full hour, but the contract was still not signed, and there were even signs that the terms would continue to change.

This really surprised Jiang Qin, but since she was right next to her, she could tell that it was Huo Sili who was being aggressive.

Wen Chen's offer was already very good, but for some reason, Huo Sili began to aggressively reduce Wen's benefits from the start of the negotiations. Seeing that Wen Chen's expression was obviously worse than before, Huo Sili's expression remained serious and cold.

Just then, after a verbal exchange, the two stopped and neither spoke.

Jiang Qin got up and poured two cups of hot tea. She placed one cup in front of Wen Chen, politely inviting him to drink some tea to soothe his throat. She picked up the other cup, blew on it gently, and brought it directly to Huo Sili's lips, coaxing him in a soft voice, "Have some?"

The strange, intangible atmosphere that had been solidified in the hall instantly crumbled because of Jiang Qin's actions.

Jiang Qin herself was unaware of it until Huo Sili took the teacup from her hand, his serious expression clearly softened, and he drank the tea.

At the same time, Wen Chen picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and put it back. His gaze fell squarely on Huo Sili, and he said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Children speak without thinking, Mr. Huo, shall we each take a step back?"

"Both of the conditions I just offered will go to the Huo family. Consider this my apology to Mr. and Mrs. Huo for speaking out of turn for my daughter."

Jiang Qin belatedly realized that it was because the little girl had called her "Mom" earlier.

A chill slowly crept into her heart. So, when Huo Sili heard Duo Duo call her that, he immediately thought she and Wen Chen might be having an affair? Or did Huo Sili really hate that she had a child?

Jiang Qin found both possibilities, whether the former or the latter, absurd.

However, after two years of high-intensity, high-profile work experience, Jiang Qin's professional qualities as a president's secretary are also quite good. Although she was already furious inside, she was absolutely flawless on the surface.

It's getting late, it's almost five o'clock.

After signing the contract with the revised terms, Wen Chen invited them to stay for dinner.

Dinner was served at six o'clock. Perhaps fearing that Duoduo might repeat what had just happened when she woke up and came downstairs, Wen Chen personally led them to a suite in the backyard and had a delicate afternoon tea served, inviting them to rest there for a while.

With a smile, Jiang Qin watched Wen Chen and several servants leave. As soon as the door closed, the smile on her face vanished.

Organize the documents in your hands in a businesslike manner, check them carefully, and put them into a kraft paper document bag.

I looked around, found a clean, open, and dry place to put it down temporarily, and took a picture.

As he bent over and stood up straight, he realized that Horstley, who had been sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and taking a nap after entering the room, was gone.

Startled, a shadow suddenly appeared beside her, her heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly turned around, “…”

Jiang Qin was speechless. "Why did you walk so quietly on purpose?"

She had no idea when he had walked up behind her.

Horstley smiled. "How did you know I did it on purpose?"

Jiang Qin met Huo Sili's smile and really didn't know what he was laughing at. Was it fun to scare her?

Jiang Qin didn't have time to pay attention to him. She glanced at him and then looked at the sofa he had just been sitting on. The leather surface looked very comfortable. "Aren't you going to sit here?"

Horstley: "Would you like to sit?"

A strange noise suddenly came from the doorway, followed by the young male voice he had heard earlier exclaiming "Holy crap!"

Jiang Qin looked over, and Huo Sili raised an eyebrow and strode to the door, opening it.

Sheng Zhan and another young man whom Jiang Qin had never met before stood at the door, their expressions awkward and ambiguous.

"Ha, Brother Huo... well! I, I just came to tell you, those things in your car trunk, are they gifts for Brother Wen Chen? I just moved them into his warehouse with a few people from the Wen family!"

Sheng Zhan stepped back as he spoke, "Well, I didn't mean to bother you..."

Sheng Zhan blushed and glanced inside again, "You guys, right?"

Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly and looked back. Jiang Qin's cool and beautiful face calmly avoided his gaze.

Huo Sili turned his head to look at Sheng Zhan, who was a head and a half shorter than him, raised his hand to pat Sheng Zhan's shoulder, and then glanced at Qiu Zichen next to Sheng Zhan, "Don't you have class today? Skipping class again to hang out with him?"

The word "skipping class" was used to control Qiu Zichen, and the young man hurriedly pulled Sheng Zhan away.

"Let's go, let's go. Kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"

"Who the hell are you calling a kid? I'm twenty!" Sheng Zhan turned around, seemingly reluctant to leave.

Huo Sili closed the door, shutting out the two men's loud voices.

Jiang Qin twitched her lips, realizing that the two had probably misunderstood something. She thought to herself that she shouldn't talk too close to the door next time, because walls have ears and doors have ears too.

I walked over to the sofa, intending to sit down and close my eyes to rest for a while.

Before I could even sit down, my phone rang loudly. I pulled it out and froze.

Seeing that she held her phone for several seconds without reacting, Huo Sili raised an eyebrow slightly, but his tone was calm and even.

"Whose phone was that? Why didn't you answer?"
