Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Are You Pregnant, Do You Know?
The next day.
Huo Tingdong, due to his 1 pm flight, didn’t go to the office but first took Lin Qi to Aikang Guobin for a dical examination.
As soon as Lin Qi got out of the car, Huo Tingdong rolled down the window and said to her, “I’ll be out of the country for a week this ti around, call directly if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
Huo Tingdong suddenly asked, “Will you miss when I’m not around?”
Lin Qi pursed her lips, playing coy, “You haven’t even left yet, how would I know if I’m going to miss you?”
Huo Tingdong: “…” What kind of answer is that!
Lin Qi asked, “Do you hope that I’ll miss you?”
Her counter-question suddenly turned the tables, rendering Huo Tingdong silent!
Huo Tingdong didn’t know how to respond.
Lin Qi approached the car window, her hands behind her back, shaking her head as she urged, “Answer ! Do you hope that I’ll miss you?”
Huo Tingdong, perhaps out of shyness, had his handso face slightly tensed up, his thin lips parted but no words ca out.
Seeing the subtle expressions on his face, Lin Qi couldn’t help but find it amusing, “Are you feeling shy?”
Huo Tingdong: “No.”
Lin Qi nodded, “Right, after all, you have a thick skin.”
Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrows, “Did you just say I have a thick skin?”
Lin Qi huffed, “Don’t you think I can tell? You previously claid you were bringing Lili over, giving her a separate room, but actually, you just wanted to share the bed with and used that as an excuse! You took my quilt to your room because you wanted to sleep with ! Now, you’re asking if I will miss you when you’re abroad, you’re obviously hoping that I will, that’s why you asked!”
Huo Tingdong’s complexion fluctuated slightly, “I…”
Lin Qi said, “Never mind then!”
She turned to enter the building.
“Stop!”
Seeing her leaving, Huo Tingdong got a bit anxious, quickly got out of the car.
She had just finished her dical examination and was going to report to the office.
And him, his flight was at 1 pm.
This ti apart ant not seeing each other for a week.
She wouldn’t even give him a tender mont?
Lin Qi paused and turned around.
Huo Tingdong stood by the car door, his handso face slightly uncomfortable, but still instinctively composed, “Co here.”
Lin Qi looked at him, “What is it?”
She took her ti walking up to Huo Tingdong.
Suddenly, the man wrapped one arm around her waist and naturally pulled her into his embrace.
At that mont.
It was bustling with people at the entrance of the dical examination center.
Nurous heads turned back, looking at the affectionate scene between the two.
Lin Qi’s face flushed, “There are so many people at the entrance, what are you doing?”
Huo Tingdong bowed his head and gently kissed her lips, “I will miss you, so you must miss too. If you miss , call .”
Lin Qi said, “Only if I miss you a lot will I call you.”
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “So, will you miss a lot?”
Lin Qi said, “You haven’t left yet, I don’t know if I’ll miss you. Maybe, I’ll miss you the day after you leave, or maybe, I won’t miss you even after seven days.”
Huo Tingdong’s lips curved into a smile, “Oh? What if I don’t return for a month, will you still not miss ?”
Lin Qi said, “You wouldn’t stay away for a month just to make miss you, would you?”
Worried that her teasing might lead him to keep pestering her endlessly, she quickly said, “Alright! I will miss you! Don’t worry!”
She tiptoed and voluntarily kissed his cheek.
Huo Tingdong still held her tightly, “Not enough.”
She then kissed his forehead.
The man continued to hold her dominantly, not letting her go, “Still not enough.”
“Are you done yet?” Lin Qi chided, but still cradled his face and kissed his lips.
She seldom initiated kisses.
Therefore, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity and deepened the kiss by clasping her nape.
He was reserved, rarely showing affection in public places, but the thought of possibly not seeing her for a week made him unwilling to part so easily!
Lin Qi pushed him slightly, “Alright! I need to go in for the dical check-up now, you should leave.”
Huo Tingdong humd in acknowledgnt, finally letting go.
Lin Qi entered the building. Seeing Huo Tingdong getting into the car and leaving after a long while, she then took her dical report to go for the check-up.
New employees at Huace Group underwent many dical tests.
Blood tests, urine tests, ENT examinations, ECGs…
After completing a series of examinations, it was already noon.
Lin Qi had her lunch at the dical center and then went to report to the office.
The results of the dical examination would be available tomorrow and directly mailed to the HR departnt.
In the afternoon, as she had just arrived at Huace Group and clocked in, her supervisor approached her.
“Lin Qi, tomorrow night, our departnt is planning a welco dinner for you! President Qi ntioned that there are a few new employees in the project team, and a private room at ‘Purple Fortune Restaurant’ has been booked for tomorrow night. Rember to attend!”
Lin Qi said, “President Qi is thoughtful.”
The supervisor said, “This afternoon, you still have your regular training class. The trainer said you are doing very well and encouraged you to keep it up!”
Lin Qi nodded.
The following day.
As usual, she arrived at the company on ti, just settling at her desk when the HR assistant suddenly knocked and entered.
“Lin Qi!”
Lin Qi looked in their direction, “What’s up?”
The HR assistant approached and said, “Our manager needs to see you.”
“Oh!”
Lin Qi followed her to the HR office.
As she knocked and entered, the HR manager was holding the freshly received dical report with her na on it.
“Lin Qi, right? Please, have a seat.”
Lin Qi sat down in front of the HR manager.
The manager put down the dical report, cautiously asking, “If I may inquire, what is your relationship with Mr. Huo?”
Lin Qi’s resu, having been directly sent to HR by Huo Tingdong and her assignnt to the project team, also ca directly from the CEO’s office.
Therefore, they naturally suspected so connection between Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong.
Lin Qi said, “There’s no particular relationship!”
In the company, business is strictly professional, and she naturally needed to keep her relationship with Huo Tingdong strictly professional.
The manager looked doubtful: “Initially, your entry into Huace was under Mr. Huo’s directive, otherwise… pardon my frankness, but with your educational background and qualifications, you wouldn’t et Huace’s hiring standards.”
He looked back at Lin Qi’s resu—local resident, divorced—a quite ordinary background. What rits could have possibly justified Mr. Huo personally arranging for her to be parachute-dropped into the project team?
Lin Qi asked, “Manager, is there sothing I’ve done inadequately?”
She suspected soone might have badmouthed her.
Such incidents are common in the workplace.
The manager shook his head, “It’s like this… I see in your resu that you are divorced and currently single, right?”
Lin Qi nodded.
The manager continued, “I just received your dical report… You are pregnant, did you know about this?”
