Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 58 - Suspicious Hao Huizhong

"Han Qing Qing, who are you talking with on the phone?"

She stopped talking as fear gripped her heart like a kid caught stealing.

Ever slowly, she turned her head to the side where the owner of the voice was.

Her eyes met with a pair of brown orbs staring intently at her as though his eyes could see into her soul.

"And what document are you taking over?" Hao Huizhong questioned her for the second time.

Like the professional that she was, Han Qing Qing quickly masked her surprise and replaced it with a pleasant smile as she placed her right hand over the mouth piece of the phone she was holding to her left ear.

"Morning sir, I am talking with a client right now. It is a small business deal. So I was going out to lunch to meet the person and possibly talk about how it would benefit our company on a long or short term basis," Han Qing Qing explained.

While she talked, Hao Huizhong watched her carefully, hoping to see if she was lying or did something that gave her away.

Unfortunately, he got nothing from her as she gave no suspicious vibe but behaved normally.

"Hmm, let me see the caller."

Badumm!

When Yin Lifen went, Li Jing was still worried about her friend but she couldn’t call her as she did not want to disturb her driving or anything.

Right now she knew better than anyone that Yin Lifen would want to be alone by her grand mother’s side.

She was left with nothing to do and no one to talk to. She had the option of Luo Jinhai but the last thing she needed now was his protective nature.

Resigning her fate to her situation, she decided she was going to cook or bake something to calm down her nerves.

It was her usual when she felt weighed down by something and had nothing to do.

The best situation would be that option or she would escape to grandma Tang Jaiye’s place if she didn’t want to think too much.

Now, the former won. With her music turned on, she went about her cooking and baking.

She decided to also do this as she would have something to bring the matriarch of Yin family some food and snacks when she goes visiting later in the day.

Back at the company, Hao Huizong still stood his ground to see the caller Han Qing Qing was speaking with.

He had expected to use that as an avenue to get a reaction from and that was what he got, a reaction.

"Pardon?"

"I said I want to see the caller, Han Qing Qing."

"Oh, it is alright." Without a second thought, she removed the phone from her ear and placed the call on hold before bringing it close to where Hao Huizhong stood.

His mood changed and he looked a little bit calm and somewhat agitated at the same time.

His eyes never left hers since he never wanted to miss out on anything but after some seconds passed and her hand began to hurt, she called his attention back to the phone and the caller.

"Sir, here it is as requested."

All these while, Ye Cheng had been quietly listening to the conversation between both parties on the other end and actually behaved like a patient client.

Finally Hao Huizhong lowered his head, letting his gaze drift downwards to her phone.

It was when his eyes landed on the caller I’d of the person that he released a slow breathe he unintentionally held in.

"Mr. Li," he calmly read out before moving his gaze up to lock eyes with Han Qing Qing.

He had suspected her to be talking to someone else and that she was lying but seeing the calmness on her face, he changed his mind.

The next second his lips curved upwards into a small smile and then gave her a nod.

"Good, keep up the good work."

"Thank you sir," Han Qing Qing replied and withdrew her hand.

Without another word, he turned back and headed towards the direction he came.

By the time he got to the exit, he turned back around to look at her.

"Oh and Qing Qing, I was only joking just now. You do not have to be scared."

"I am not scared, sir. What is there to be paranoid of anything when I was doing my job? There was no hidden agenda of any sort if that is what you are thinking, sir."

"Good, good. I was still joking as well. Carry on, you place a client on hold."

"Ah, my apologies sir. Thanks." She gave him her professional smile and removed the call from hold.

Hao Huizhong did the same thing and totally left her alone.

’Finally, he left’. Han Qing Qing thought to herself.

"Hello, Mr. Li. Sorry for the wait sir, please pardon my negligence. I would come prepared so as not to disappoint you," Han Qing Qing said with a louder voice to make sure that anyone who heard would know she was not lying.

"Yes sir. Thank you, very much. See you later."

Just like that, she cut the call and dropped her phone on the table, then continued with what she was doing.

Normally or in reality she was talking what the Ye Cheng but after figuring out something was not right, she quickly saved her boss’s number with the surname of the Lady’s number he used to call her.

After the whole fiasco, Ye Cheng had indeed gotten a new phone and got a new line as well.

From their first call that she noticed he was the one, she did well to not use Mr. Ye Cheng to save it.

’Good thinking Han Qing Qing.’ She mentally praised herself and carried on with her duties.

Ye Cheng who was listening to the whole drama shook his head at what had just happened.

’Hao Huizhong, how could you? Have you gotten so corrupt that your conscience pricks you at every single little thing? Han Qing Qing... That was a close call.’
