Chapter 717
717 Playing with people’s hearts (1)
Xie tingxi replied with a muffled “mm.”
“Why don’t you let me go?”
“No need,” Xie tingxi hugged her and didn’t let go. &Quot; just sleep like this. &Quot;
&Quot; … &Quot; qu Huaian was silent for a moment before asking softly, ” “Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
“It’s alright.” Xie tingxi replied in a hoarse voice, ” I’m used to it after all. &Quot;
&Quot; why? ” qu Huaian asked.
Xie tingxi lowered his head and looked at her. His deep eyes were burning with a frightening heat. He smiled. &Quot; because I haven’t touched a woman for many years. I usually have to rely on my own willpower to fulfill my physical needs. &Quot;
Qu Huaian blinked and asked again, ” “Why?”
He pinched her ears gently and said in a casual tone, ” “If he can’t even control the most basic physiological needs, then this man is destined to be a failure.”
Qu Huaian hesitated. &Quot; just because of this? ”
“What?” The man’s cold eyebrows raised slightly.
&Quot; not because of Mumu’s mother at all? ” She asked.
How true was he to the woman who had given birth to his child?
Xie tingxi’s eyes flashed with a teasing look. &Quot; are you jealous? ”
Qu Huaian shook his head, ” No. &Quot;
&Quot; she and I were just taking what we each needed. If she was still alive, the position of Mrs. Xie would have been hers, but she’s no longer here. &Quot;
Xie tingxi avoided her gaze and looked at the ceiling. &Quot; don’t expect a man to keep his chastity for a woman who’s no longer around. It doesn’t matter who it is! I don’t want to do it, I just don’t want to waste time on physical pleasure.”
In other words, he was not an amorous person, but he was also not a beast who was addicted to superficial mating activities.
It was realistic and contradictory, but it was more real.
Qu Huaian did not say anything else.
The more she interacted with this man, the more she couldn’t understand him. Was he fickle or heartless?
The conversation had probably diverted Xie tingxi’s attention, and he gradually felt less hot.
Qu Huaian was also tired, and he unknowingly fell asleep in his arms.
On the other hand, Xie tingxi didn’t feel sleepy at all. He looked down at the pretty girl in his arms and seemed to be in deep thought.
He just wanted to play with her and use her to relieve his boredom, but now he felt that he should not have done so.
She was only using Mumu to get close to her and did not do anything wrong. Moreover, Mumu liked her quite a bit.
For the first time, Xie tingxi, who had always played with people’s hearts, didn’t want to play with them.
He didn’t want to waste her infatuation.

The next day, when qu Huai ‘an woke up, Xie tingxi was no longer by his bedside.
After sitting up, she saw the man on the sofa talking on the phone. He seemed to have noticed her gaze, so he said a few simple words and hung up the phone.
“You’re awake.” He stood up and walked towards her. &Quot; do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? ”
“No, I didn’t,”
&Quot; the doctor will come over to check on you later. If there are no problems, you can be discharged. &Quot;
“Alright,” he said. She accepted all the arrangements docilely and was so obedient that it made people love her.
The doctor did a simple check on her and confirmed that there was no major problem. However, the wound on her forehead needed to be changed regularly, and the bone in her arm was a little fractured. She needed to rest well and could not do heavy work or lift heavy objects.
After she was discharged, Xie tingxi didn’t send her to Luo Yun residence. Instead, he brought her to the company.
It was still early, so there weren’t many people around. However, there were two women standing at the door of the office, looking uneasy.
Especially when he saw Xie tingxi and qu Huaian, he felt even more guilty.
Qu Huaian was about to return to his desk when Xie tingxi stopped him. &Quot; come in with me. &Quot;
Qu Huaian did not know why he was called in, so he followed him into the office.
Xie tingxi walked to the leather chair and sat down. He pointed to the sofa opposite him and said, ” you sit there. &Quot;
Qu Huaian walked over and sat down.
&Quot; Good Morning, President Xie. &Quot; Secretary Cao entered the room after knocking on the door.
Xie tingxi nodded. &Quot; go and buy two sets of breakfast and a set of women’s clothes. It’s size S. &Quot;
When Secretary Cao heard the word’s size’, he could not help but glance at qu Huaian, who was sitting on the sofa.
As expected of the future Empress, he had made the right bet.
“Let the two at the door in.”
“Alright,” he said. Not long after Secretary Cao left the office, two women who were standing at the door entered.
“T-President Xie …”
They pushed each other, and no one dared to step forward first.
Xie tingxi looked up at them. &Quot; do you know why I asked you to come? ”
The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit understanding. &Quot; I don’t know. &Quot;
Xie tingxi laughed. &Quot; don’t you know what you did last night? ”
&Quot; director Xie, we really don’t know what you’re talking about. &Quot; The woman with wine-red hair said with an innocent look.
&Quot; my assistant was locked up in the washroom last night. You didn’t do it? ” Xie tingxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and went straight to the point.
“No.” The red-haired woman denied it. &Quot; is assistant qu locked in the bathroom? We didn’t know about this.”
“I don’t know,” The other short-haired woman quickly denied it. &Quot; director Xie, you can’t accuse us wrongly. &Quot;
“I can accuse you, but the surveillance camera in the bathroom won’t.” Xie tingxi said unhurriedly, ” after assistant qu entered the washroom, only you guys went in, and after you guys came out, no one else went in. If it wasn’t you guys, could it be that our company is haunted? ”
“Impossible!” The red-haired woman denied immediately, ” the surveillance camera in front of the washroom is broken. How could it have captured us! &Quot;
Xie tingxi pushed his glasses up and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
&Quot; no one knows that the surveillance camera is broken except for the security room. How did you know? ”
The red-haired woman was a little flustered, but she still pretended to be calm. &Quot; “We … We just happened to overhear the security guards” conversation.”
&Quot; even so, you should have said that you’ve never been there. The surveillance camera couldn’t have captured it, not to mention that the surveillance camera is broken. &Quot;
The light in Xie tingxi’s eyes became colder and colder. &Quot; but you said that the surveillance camera in front of the bathroom is broken. How could it have captured us? ”
It was obvious that they had entered the washroom.
The words that people subconsciously say are the truest and can not be lied to.
&Quot; I … &Quot; the red-haired woman didn’t know how to refute him.
The short-haired woman was so scared that she almost cried.
&Quot; director Xie, you don’t have any evidence to prove that we did it. You can’t just pin the crime on US based on your guesses. &Quot;
The red-haired woman’s mind cleared up slightly. Without any evidence, as long as she refused to admit it, it didn’t matter even if he was the boss of the company!
Xie tingxi didn’t rush to argue with her. Instead, he looked at the short-haired woman. &Quot; you’ve been in the company for five years. In these five years, you’ve used your position to find your boyfriend to work with you. How much Commission and profit have you taken in the process? you can count for yourself how long you can stay in the company. &Quot;
