naughty little friend

Chapter 4

? 4
Lu Xiaoyan woke up in the morning with birdsong and soft sunshine.

She turned her head and half-opened her eyes to look at the angle of the usual window. She slowly opened her eyes, but she didn't see the window view, but a white wall.

She opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the unfamiliar environment suspiciously. She didn't know where it was, so she pushed the quilt away in fear and sat up abruptly.

The stabbing pain from her right hand made her frown and scream, she turned her head to see the situation clearly.

Qiao Minghuang walked into Lu Xiaoyan's ward with the porridge and soup, and just as he stepped in, he saw her unconscious movements. He rushed forward in panic, put the porridge and soup on the small table next to the bed, and felt sorry for her. He whispered softly: "Don't move around! You idiot, you're bleeding."

Lu Xiaoyan stopped twisting and watched as Qiao Minghuang grabbed her hand nervously, pulled out a few pieces of tissue, carefully stopped the bleeding for her, and helped her adjust the position of the drip.

She kept staring at him, not understanding why he became so gentle, and why she stayed here, she pursed her lips and called him in a low voice: "Mr. Qiao?"

Qiao Minghuang's hand for adjusting the drip suddenly stopped, and the title made him feel heartbroken.

"Why am I sleeping here? Where is this?"

The helplessness in her tone hurt his heart, Emperor Hades lowered his head, and asked her softly: "Don't you remember? Yesterday—"

When he saw the doubt on her face changed to anxiety, he laughed at himself: "You remember, don't you?"

Lu Xiaoyan recalled everything yesterday afternoon, but only up to the scene where she saw Zhao Shizhuo, and forgot everything else.

Qiao Minghuang's outstretched hand stopped in the midst of her question.

"Where's Zhao Shizhuo?"

He breathed out, avoided her expression, and replied lightly: "After he gets off work, he will come to accompany you."

Lu Xiaoyan watched him tidy up his things with his back to her, she lowered her head and let out an "oh".Then, a cup of hot porridge suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she raised her head in confusion.

"Eat some! I asked the doctor, you can have some porridge." Qiao Minghuang kept staring at her expression, and asked her thoughtfully, "Do you want me to feed you?"

Seeing Lu Xiaoyan grabbing him and preparing to feed her, he read a few words to her angrily: "Didn't I ask you not to move around? You have forgotten that you have a drip on your hand, right?" What if it bleeds again?"

He carefully checked the needle hole on her right hand, and when he saw that there was no more bleeding, he let her go, and simply held the cup for her, and let her drink the porridge.

This time she ate obediently, and drank porridge and soup as soon as she got her appetite, completely oblivious to the pity in Qiao Minghuang's eyes.

"Ah - what about the company?" She raised her head anxiously and asked him.

"We won't fall without us for a day or two! Don't worry, let's take care of yourself first! There are still my two older brothers here, so what are you afraid of?"

Hearing that he was so confident, she replied and buried her head in the porridge again. At the end of the drink, Qiao Minghuang still fed her.

The him now is very much like the him in the botanical garden a long time ago, the Qiao Minghuang she longed to see again.

She looked up at the drip bottle, pushed him and said, "The medicine is almost finished! You can ring the bell for the nurse."

"Oh——" Qiao Minghuang sat on the chair next to her bed and refused to move. He glanced at it and said, "It's very simple, I will."

"No more!" Lu Xiaoyan was so frightened that she raised her hand to dodge, but he quickly grabbed her hand and cursed angrily, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Don't move! You little brat deserves a beating!"

Lu Xiaoyan was stunned, she looked at him, while he leaned over and pressed the red button beside her bed.Soon, a young nurse came in. Qiao Minghuang told her that the medicine was gone, and the nurse skillfully removed the needle and the medicine bottle for her.

Qiao Minghuang watched the nurse's movements very carefully, and when she finished pulling out the needle, he rolled his chest and said in a loud voice: "Tsk—it's very simple! I just said I would! You won't believe it."

After the nurse left with a smile, she was still staring at him with her eyes open. He noticed her strangeness and asked her softly, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"You--you just said--that I was--wretched--"

"Hehehe—you are so fussy!" He stood up, not allowing her to argue, and leaned down in front of her eyes and asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Lu Xiaoyan blinked at him, then blushed and nodded. Just as she was about to get out of bed, Qiao Minghuang picked her up. She exclaimed in surprise. He seemed to be holding a baby. He easily carried her into the bathroom.

"Ah! It's fine here!" Lu Xiaoyan suddenly called out when she entered the bathroom door.

When she kicked her calf, Qiao Minghuang stopped, staring at Lu Xiaoyan with her little hands around his neck.

She looks so beautiful!The messy and fluffy light brown long hair is almost golden, the rosy white skin can clearly see the capillaries on the face, and the simple green robe she wears in the hospital has a lazy beauty.Only her slight weight made him feel heartbroken and suffocated.

"Let me down!"

She repeated in a low voice, shyly, that she had never been so close to him, he was so strong, yet incredibly gentle, his breath was so fresh and comfortable, it made her heart throb, she was afraid that such a close touch would let him know.

Qiao Minghuang was still holding her, listening to her request, he looked at the toilet in the bathroom, then turned back to look at her, and repeated with some uncertainty: "Here? Can you?"

She looked so weak, and he was afraid that if he let go, she would pass out.

"Okay! I'm not that delicate." She pouted.

He thought that she might not know that he was acting like a baby with him, and he liked this new feeling very much, so he couldn't bear to let her go.

Qiao Minghuang deliberately hugged her tightly, then quickly relaxed, and gently put her down, making her mistakenly think that she was feeling wrong.

As soon as Lu Xiaoyan stood up, Qiao Minghuang said to her: "Okay, just tell me."

As soon as he turned around and stepped out of the bathroom, she closed and locked the door behind him. He shook his head and smiled, knowing that she was shy.

Qiao Minghuang walked back to the bedside to sort things out.He always wondered how she could still smell so good when the medicine smelled so strong in the hospital!

Is it all women, or just her?

Lu Xiaoyan stayed in the bathroom and tidied herself up. She really wanted to take a bath, but she had no choice but to give up when she thought that she didn't have a change of clothes.

She went to the sink, took a towel and washed it briefly with water. She looked up at the mirror and wiped her face. Suddenly, she squinted and looked at herself in the mirror, and then——

The door was opened behind him suddenly, Qiao Minghuang immediately put down the report in his hand, looked back at Lu Xiaoyan, "You—"

"You knew already."

Lu Xiaoyan stood at the door with high steps, her beautiful face was glowing with resentment, and she asked him angrily.

Qiao Minghuang pursed his lips, his expression changed from tenderness to caution and worry, "Yan—"

"You get it, don't you?"

She roared loudly in pain, gasped for breath, frowned, and stared at him closely, already knowing the answer in her heart, her green eyes sparkling.

He thought that she would lose control because of being too excited like yesterday, so Qiao Minghuang rushed towards her.

As soon as she got close to Lu Xiaoyan, she began to cry and pat his outstretched hand, frantically trying to break free from him.

"Xiaoyan! Xiaoyan—listen to me! I—" He kept grabbing her without giving up, but she kept trying to break free from him.

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to— woo—"

He still grabbed her, and Qiao Minghuang held Lu Xiaoyan tightly in his arms. He hugged her tightly with one hand, opened his palm with the other to brush away the hair on her forehead, and softly comforted her: "Shh, darling, you can't get excited. Be darling, take a deep breath, don't cry—"

"You know! You—uh—you know who I am—uh—uh—you—" She hit his chest and shoulders with a fist, unable to break free from his grip, and stamped her feet in his arms get angry.

"Well, I got it, Xiaoyan, I got it. Shhh—don't cry anymore, eh? Be good——" He hugged her even tighter, buried his face in her fragrant hair, and pressed it against her ear whisper softly.

"That's why - your attitude will change, to me -" She closed her tearful green eyes and cried even harder.

He was so gentle and patient with her this morning, all because he knew that she was the girl from ten years ago.Back then, he also treated her so patiently.

It's all fake!

She was the girl back then, but she was also his Lu secretary for the past four years.

How can one person's mentality towards another person completely change in a day.

It's all deceptive!
He suddenly pushed her away, staring at her with sharp and firm eyes in his deep black eyes.

"It's not like that, Yan, I knew it from the beginning."

"At first?" She finally stopped crying and frowned.

"Well, at the beginning." He recalled the beginning and end of that day, with a smile on his handsome face, and he wiped her tears with his fingertips, "I recognized you the day you arrived at the interview venue, you It's the little girl in the botanic garden."

"That day—" her puzzled little face was startled, she backed away and said softly, "Then my job——"

"God——" he pulled her back, tapped her pink forehead with his knuckles, and said with a smile, "what are you thinking about with your little head?" He let out a long breath and asked her seriously : "Did you see me there during the interview?"

She shook her head.

"That's right! You have worked with me for four years, um—to be exact, three years, seven months and 20 days. I have very strict requirements for my job!"

"Hmm—" It's more than harsh.

Seeing her dissatisfied eyes, he sighed again and continued: "Okay! I'm a devil at all. For me like this, I can't give a job just because of favors. The candidates who came to join in the fun are just eliminated. They need to pick three candidates first, and then I will make a final decision. Sigh—don’t think about it again, okay? Listen to me, when you are interviewing, I am actually there the whole time , after all, it was my secretary who was chosen."

"Mirror?" she thought suddenly.

He smiled admiringly, "Yes! Smart girl, your answering behavior has always been the highest grade, and your conditions are very good, the school grades of T University are all among the best! So, in the end, the supervisors and I agreed. Agreed, you are the best candidate!"

"I—really—" She was still a little uncertain.

"No!" His eyes became sharp, "Don't you believe my words? Huh?"

Lu Xiaoyan thought about what she knew about his work in the past four years, then she shook her head and said with certainty: "I believe it."

Qiao Minghuang was startled and smiled softly.

"But—why didn't you tell me? If you recognized me from the beginning." She looked at him cautiously.

Does this mean that, in fact, he didn't want to be troubled by favors and refused to recognize her.

A little orphan like her with no family background, how could he notice her and want to recognize her.

Yes!It must be like this, a woman approached him for only one purpose, not herself.

When I studied hard for him, I just wanted to get close to him and tell him thank you.However, she didn't expect that after four years of getting along, her heart for him would change.

He suddenly pushed her away, snorted coldly, and complained with a bit of resentment: "Huh! Whoever is the first to deny whoever is. I don't even think about who it is. On the first day of work, I looked indifferent and business-like. Zhunhala is so serious! Mr. Qiao, Mr. Qiao - screaming." He imitated her tone childishly, and glared at her angrily.

Thinking of their first day at work, he was furious!It's very annoying if you don't make it clear.

Moreover, I don't know where this woman came from, but she completely entered the situation on the first day of work, and she can do everything!If there is something you don't understand, even if you ask him, you will still look cold.

Hmph - just thinking about it makes me angry!
"Then—what else?" She looked at him sadly, "I am going to work, not——you are choosing a secretary, not—"

"What do you choose?" He asked her with narrowed eyes dangerously.

"Huh?" She took a step back in fright, and happened to bump into the wall next to the bathroom.

"Ah what?" He stretched out his hands to the walls on both sides of her shoulders, locked her in the circle he built, lowered his head slightly, turned his face and asked softly: "You said I am not choosing What? Make it clear."

The tone was lazy and provocative, but it made people shiver uncontrollably.

He still has the guts to laugh.

Lu Xiaoyan felt that she was so weak that it made people angry. She reached out her hand to push away his confinement, but she didn't dare to touch it. She clenched her little hand in the air, and said coquettishly, "Ben--it was! Choosing a secretary, and——not choosing a girlfriend or wife! And, and—"

"And what?" The uneasiness in her tone made people angry and pitiful.

"And - I - you, you wouldn't like a small role like me! Why should I go out of my way to seduce you?"

"Heh, I wouldn't say you are a small character!"

"Hmph—compared to your group of girlfriends, I—" She turned her head away from him, and the hurt look in her eyes made him both pleasantly surprised and heartbroken.

He sighed softly, stood up straight and stretched out his hands to turn her face back, forcing her to face his eyes, his fiery and gentle eyes were staring at her tightly without any concealment.The pulp of his thumb gently caressed her cheek.

"If I tell you, Luo Bin and I—you listen to me! If I tell you that nothing happened between me and her, will you trust me? Huh?"

"I—" she couldn't help sobbing, raised her hands to cover her face, and sobbed, "I won't believe it—I won't—"

She has always, always remembered everything that happened in the past four days, especially Luo Bin.

He never brought any female companion into the company, the office was the only place she could get along with him, but he—

Qiao Minghuang closed his reddened eyes, he felt heartbroken that it was broken.

Of course she wouldn't believe him. In the past four years, she knew best what he had done. Even if she had any hopes for him, he had already destroyed them personally!
He opened his eyes in pain and took a deep breath.He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, and murmured in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't trust me, forgive me, or hate me for the rest of your life."

The broken pain in his tone surprised her.She raised her head in his arms and met his gaze.After a long time, she replied to him in a low voice: "I won't hate you."

He smiled, and asked her softly again: "But you will never forgive and trust, will you?"

His tone was very affirmative, but she began to be a little self-willed, "What qualifications do I have to-uh--"

"Shut up!" he interrupted her complaint with an angry snarl.

This woman is very stubborn!
He quickly lowered his head, and used the most primitive but most effective way to stop her from uttering irritating words.

As soon as he touched her, she went limp.

She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, staring at his eyes that were completely close, his movements were rough, but with incredible tenderness, as if he was worried that she would be broken and cared for her carefully.

His lips rubbed against hers fiercely, pressed against hers, and ordered in a creaking voice: "Close your eyes."

It felt like—electric shock!
She closed her eyes obediently, his lips kissed her more deeply, he hugged her tightly, and her hands rested on his shoulders helplessly.

"Open it, Yan, open it."

She opened her eyes, her eyebrows frowned, and she responded in a low voice: "It's so annoying! You have to close it, and you have to open it, what do you want?"

He was startled, knowing that she was protesting his request.

He hugged her, shook their bodies from side to side, and laughed loudly.

Instead, she was irritated and beat him hard, "What are you laughing at!"

"Heh—little idiot." His eyes were tender and affectionate, he pressed her lips again, and explained after sucking gently: "I want you to open your mouth to breathe, but close your eyes to enjoy everything."

"Oh!" She obediently closed her eyes and opened her lips to breathe.

He chuckled, before she could protest, he leaned over and grabbed her lips.

She whispered softly, her breath slowly softening.She opened her eyes in the hollow of his neck, "Joe—"

He was faster than her, with his index finger pressed against her lips, and his gentle black eyes contained a silent warning message.

"Can one day, just one day, you forget that I'm the 'Mr. Qiao' you call me? This title is so alienating, so—oh—are you accusing me? Accusing me of belittling you, aren't you?"

She looked into his eyes, there was a cluster of dark sparks in them, she shook her head a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't, I just—I just don't know why you did it? It's—" She stopped talking, looked into his eyes, and said with some hurt: "I'm not the kind—"

"Shh - I know." He hugged her and kept her from talking.He whispered sincerely: "I know, Yan. I have never taken you lightly, and because of this, I dare not blaspheme you, I just - oh - I have done so many things that you don't trust me , how can I say anything? You don't trust me anymore. Then, you just let things happen naturally and follow your heart, okay?"

She didn't quite understand what he said, but she nodded anyway.

He reached out and stroked her face and the corners of her eyes lovingly.

She felt a little dizzy after accepting too many changes from him all at once.There is a feeling, knowing that from now on, her life will be different.

He had never had so much "hope" in his heart.

Hope, she can accept him again.Regardless of her motivation for coming to the company for an interview in the first place, he just wanted to go back to the beginning.

Hope, he can have her this time.

Hope it's not too late.

hope--

"Sigh—it's just a quarrel between the young couple! What's the hurry?"

Just as Qiao Minghuang slowly lowered his head, wanting to take her sweetness again, a crisp voice came from the door in dissatisfaction.

They were startled at the same time, turning their heads to look at the door.

Qiao Ling straightened her stomach, held her belly in one hand, raised her little nose, and snorted contemptuously.Dan Besty stood behind her, holding her hand and smiling faintly.Qiao Mingzheng stood beside Dan, grinning with raised brows.

Huang Xiaoyun was the first to squeeze into the ward, with a bag in her hand, her hands on her hips, her feet on the ground, she stared at them with her big round eyes, and scolded coquettishly, "Go—make me worry so much that I can't sleep all night! What! If you want to make a fuss, pick a good time! I'm taking the final exam! Pig!" The pig was scolding Qiao Minghuang.

Huang Xiaoyun stared at him, walked over angrily, put the bag in her hand on the bed, stared at Qiao Minghuang with a volcanic expression on her face, raised her head and yelled angrily: "Please fight! The teeth are numbered!" No! Tsk—it’s so big that it still makes people anxious, it’s hot enough!"

Huang Xiaoyun glared angrily when looking at him, but when she turned to Lu Xiaoyan, her face changed into a squinting smile inconceivably.When she looked back at him, she opened her eyes again.

Lu Xiaoyan backed away in surprise, but Qiao Minghuang held her hand tightly faster than her, and he looked at Huang Xiaoyun with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"How? To fight, is it?"

"Don't dare, little sister-in-law!"

"Hmph—you can't beat me anyway!"

"Yes, I admit my mistake." Qiao Minghuang said with a suppressed smile. He saw Lu Xiaoyan's eyes widen, not believing their conversation, but he gave her a "true" look.

She looked at Huang Xiaoyun's petite body in surprise, she——

Qiao Minghuang thought with a smile, he couldn't beat Huang Xiaoyun, and he didn't dare to beat her.If Xiaoyun hadn't thrown her twin brother Huang Dayun out in front of them, they would never have imagined that she would do it.

"Yun."

Qiao Mingzheng folded his arms and called softly, Huang Xiaoyun immediately walked towards her husband with a bright face like a little sheep, and asked him with a sweet smile, "What's the matter? Husband——"

Qiao Ming was holding her with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Don't scare Secretary Lu."

Qiao Minghuang rolled her eyes unbearably, while Lu Xiaoyan watched Huang Xiaoyun's transformation with even more surprise. The magic power of love flowed between them, which made people enviable.

Qiao Minghuang seemed to know her mood, he bent down, leaned close to her ear and whispered to her: "She is like a soft-legged shrimp in front of my elder brother, pretending to be a little sheep, it's disgusting!"

She was so amused by his deliberate blowing and disgusting words that she shrank her head, giggled, and her hand was held by him all the time.

Qiao Huang laughed happily, like a boy in first love.

Qiao Ling gave her husband, elder brother and Xiaoyun an interesting look, and the four looked at them with strange expressions.

Lu Xiaoyan was the first to notice the strange atmosphere, she blushed and pulled Qiao Minghuang's hand helplessly, Qiao Minghuang looked at the four people who were grinning and snickering at the door.

At this time, there was movement at the door again.

Dan hugged Qiao Ling into the ward, Mingzheng and Xiaoyun stepped aside, and their parents—Qiao Yuzhen and Wang Dixiang walked in together, followed by Qiao Mingwei.

"Oh—it's all right!" Wang Di stepped forward, looked at Lu Xiaoyan with concern and asked.

In her early fifties, Wang Di still looks mature and beautiful.

Lu Xiaoyan nodded and answered her: "Well, madam—"

"Tsk - why are they all here?" Qiao Minghuang raised his brows and hummed in displeasure, his voice was louder than Lu Xiaoyan's.

"What? Can't come!" Huang Xiaoyun asked him fiercely.

Qiao Ling gave him a weird smile, then turned her head to Xiaoyun and said, "Ahh——Xiaoyun, don't argue with me! He's overwhelmed by love now, he's 'scratching the bag, picking the bag'" Only then will you talk nonsense!"

Xiaoyun understood what she meant, so she smiled brightly, and said generously: "Ah—ah, that's right! Everyone has gone through this section! Mutual mutual! Haha——"

Everyone laughed out loud, and Dr. Li happened to walk into the ward with the nurse.

"Mr. Qiao and Sister Qiao are here!" Dr. Li stepped forward to greet her.

After greeting everyone, he asked to clear the room, leaving only the nurse, Lu Xiaoyan and Qiao Minghuang in the ward.

Xiaoyan originally refused to let him stay, but he insisted on not leaving.

He carried her to bed, and after Dr. Li treated her, he said, "Well! The condition seems to be very good. By the way, did the Underworld Emperor tell you?"

"Say—what?" Lu Xiaoyan looked up at Qiao Minghuang in confusion.

With pain and hesitation on his face, "I haven't mentioned it yet."

Lu Xiaoyan looked back and forth at them in fear, and Qiao Minghuang stepped forward to hold her hand to comfort her.

Dr. Li spoke again at this time: "Well, I think it's better to talk about it now!"

Qiao Minghuang took a deep breath, kneeling beside the bed, holding her hand, stroking her hair, and gently told her about receiving psychological counseling.

At first, she resisted angrily, but he has been coaxing patiently.After a long time, she nodded in agreement.

When only the two of them were left in the ward, Qiao Minghuang hugged the weeping Lu Xiaoyan tightly.
