On this day, overtime work on the 26th floor of Huo's Building continued until late at night.
Zhuang Yan sat at his workstation with a look of despair on his face, "I really admire Mr. Huo. He works overtime every day and every night, as if he will never get tired... If this continues, I won't even think about getting married and having children...
…”
Qi Yuan next to him looked anxious.
This feeling of anxiety has continued since watching Mu Qian’s interview video until now – why do I always feel like something is going to happen?
As he was banging his head and thinking hard, the door to the CEO's office suddenly opened and Huo Jinxi walked out.
The two of them immediately cheered up, but Huo Jinxi only said "get off work" and walked to the elevator.
Both of them let out a long sigh of relief. Zhuang Yan looked at Qi Yuan, "Do you think Mr. Huo has seen the interview video?"
"What do you think?" Qi Yuan replied weakly.
Zhuang Yan said: "Mr. Huo is always so enigmatic, how can I tell?"
Qi Yuan sighed.
This interview was obviously caused by that woman Mu Qian deliberately causing trouble. If Huo Jinxi hadn't seen it, wouldn't it have been in vain?
That woman would never do such a fruitless thing!
In fact, Huo Jinxi did see that interview and read it more than once.
The interview video is very popular. He has seen it several times from different channels. People from all walks of life in the comments below are very excited, each for their own reasons.
But in fact, this is just her way of playing hard to get.
He didn't bother to argue with her.
Huo Jinxi got into the car, pressed his forehead, and did not tell him where to go.
Seeing this, the driver took the initiative to report the situation: "The old man was discharged from the hospital today. He did not go to the nursing home anymore. Instead, he returned to his old house. Miss Mu Qian moved back with him."
"Yeah." Huo Jinxi responded lightly.
"Going to the old house?" the driver asked as he slowly drove away from Huo's.
Huo Jinxi was quiet for a moment before he said, "Go back."
After hearing this, the driver knew that he was going back to Jiangnan Mansion, so he didn't ask any more questions.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when he returned to Jiangnan Mansion. Huo Jinxi took a nap in the car for a while. As soon as the car stopped, he opened his eyes and got out of the car with clear eyes.
Back inside, everything was quiet as usual.
Huo Jinxi went upstairs and first went to Huo Qiran's room to take a look.
Huo Qiran had fallen into a deep sleep, with the quilt only covering half of his body.
Huo Jinxi tested his body temperature, covered him with a quilt, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at his sleeping face for a while, then stood up and left.
Returning to his room, Huo Jinxi suddenly noticed something as soon as he walked into the living room.
Although he hadn't been back for two days, he could still easily sense something strange in the air.
Huo Jinxi just pretended to be unaware, took off his clothes and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower and wash himself.
It wasn't until he lay down on the bed and turned off the light that something strange finally happened in the darkness.
After a slight vibration at the end of the bed, there was another person in his bed.
She didn't shy away from him, and gave him direct physical contact from the beginning. It wasn't until he stretched out his hand to take her out of the bed that she laughed out loud and lay on his chest, "Surprise?"
The bedroom was dark, and all the sounds became extremely obvious. However, Huo Jinxi's breathing was inaudible, and even his emotions were undetectable.
When Mu Qian heard that he didn't speak, she stretched out her arms and legs to wrap around him, nuzzling and kissing his chin gently, "What's wrong? Why are you ignoring me?"
"Are you angry with me?" Mu Qian kissed him and said vaguely, "What I said this morning were angry words... Who told you that you just refused to open your mouth to save people?"
As she spoke, she suddenly started laughing again, "Your aftershave smells great, what brand is it?"
In the darkness, Huo Jinxi still seemed unmoved.
Mu Qian was quiet for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Well, it seems you don't like me very much today. I'll go now, good brother -"
She deliberately leaned close to his ear, and the next moment, Huo Jinxi suddenly hugged her waist tightly.
Mu Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he changed her position and was pressed underneath her.
"You don't pay attention to all the nice things people say... I call you brother, but you..." She said coquettishly, "Do you want to sever ties with me, or not..."
"Mu Qian." Huo Jinxi suddenly called her in a low voice, his emotions indistinguishable.
"Huh?" She responded, waiting for him to continue.
However, Huo Jinxi said nothing and directly sealed her lips.
In a dark room, the entanglement has been endless.
…
Mu Qian didn't know when she fell asleep. When she was woken up by the sound of Huo Jinxi getting up, she looked at the time and saw that it was only six o'clock.
In total, he should have only slept for three hours. Mu Qian really didn't know why a person like him had to get up so early. She wanted to let him pester her for a while, but she didn't have the strength, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
After Huo Jinxi changed his clothes and came to the bedside to pick up the watch he took off yesterday, Mu Qian was unconsciously shrinking into the quilt and wrapping herself tightly.
Huo Jinxi looked at her for a moment, and finally reached out to raise the air conditioner a few degrees before turning around and going out.
When he came downstairs, Lin Shu had already prepared breakfast and tablet computer for him.
Huo Jinxi was eating breakfast while watching the news on his tablet. Lin Shu brought him a cup of black coffee and put it in his hand. After a pause, he said, "The window in your room was not closed last night."
This probably meant that last night's news had reached her. Huo Jinxi felt calm and just said, "Did I disturb you?"
"I still say what you want to do, no one can stop you." Lin Shu frowned, "But you have to take care of your mother."
"Don't worry, I know it well." Huo Jinxi replied.
Lin Shu turned around to leave, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help it, and turned around again, "No matter how I look at it, I feel that Mu Qian's girl is not pure in mind. Do you know what she wants to do?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi's eyes condensed for a moment.
It is true that she is not pure-minded.
And what does she want to do?
It's nothing more than getting into a fight with him and trying to compete.
That’s all.
Then why doesn't he give her a chance?
…
A few hours later, Mu Qian got up and met Lin Shu's cold eyes again without any surprise.
Fortunately, she was used to such treatment, so she went to the kitchen to find something to fill her stomach.
Just after taking two bites of bread, a small figure suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen, looking at her quietly.
Mu Qian almost choked, and after counting, it turned out to be the weekend.
Huo Qiran looked at her expectantly. Mu Qian waved for him to come over, then squatted down and looked at him, "I asked you about your mother, and she hasn't disappeared yet."
Huo Qiran looked at her quietly, with undisguised disappointment in his eyes.
"But I will check it for you." Mu Qian touched his head, looked at him, and smiled softly, "Even if your father and I are incompatible with each other in the future, I will still check it for you."
Huo Qiran looked at her half-understanding, his eyes as clear as ever.
Mu Qian suddenly looked away and stopped looking at him.
