Huo Jinxi saw her look like that, and finally slowly stretched out his hand and held down the place where she knocked on the ground.
Mu Qian seemed to be gradually soothed by the warmth in his palm, and calmed down, but she still just leaned in his arms.
When Huo Jinxi almost thought she was asleep, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him with burning eyes, "Tell me, why are you indifferent to Ye Jingwei's matter? Or do you hate me at all?
Is this all just to get back at me?"
Huo Jinxi met her gaze, his eyes still deep and calm, without any waves.
Mu Qian suddenly shook her head to herself again, "No, no, you obviously don't hate me, you obviously don't hate me at all..."
She leaned on his shoulder again, looked at his sharp profile, and spoke in a low voice: "Then what do you want..."
While she gently rubbed his neck, she reached out her hand, touched his cuffs, and picked them gently.
This was her usual behavior in the past.
I wanted to ask him for something, but I didn't dare to be too obvious, and I didn't dare to have unnecessary physical contact with him, so I just gently picked at his sleeves like this.
And he always indulged her.
That's why she thought he loved her at that time.
But when I woke up later, I realized that it was just a way for a man to treat a woman he didn't hate. He would watch her trying to please and act coquettishly to him, but he would always sit back and watch, enjoying the process like teasing a cat.
Thinking of this, Mu Qian suddenly chuckled again, with a strong sense of self-deprecation.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand and gently pinched her face, making her straighten up and meet his gaze.
"You don't know what I want?" he said.
Mu Qian looked at him quietly, her eyes obviously blurry, but she tried to see clearly what was in his eyes.
What does he want?
She seemed to not be able to see the look in his eyes, so she could only try to look like she was thinking. After a long time, she suddenly realized what he was saying and said "oh".
Isn't what he wants the same Mu Qian from before? The Mu Qian who was obedient, could be at his mercy, and worshiped him as a god.
"But it's impossible..." Mu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him, "You clearly know it's impossible, why can't you let me go?"
Huo Jinxi looked at her intoxicated face quietly - in fact, he knew very well how drunk and how awake she was.
Even though he knew she was doing it deliberately, he still listened to her words.
Yes, what he wanted was clearly the Mu Qian of the past, but she no longer met his expectations.
And he knew clearly that she could never go back to the way she was before.
He could clearly see her defensiveness and reluctance, her hypocrisy and submissiveness, and her acting out when the situation happened.
But unfortunately, he just didn't want to let her go.
"Forget it..." Mu Qian suddenly leaned into his arms again, "Let's not force each other, just forget it, okay..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually became lower, and then she slowly closed her eyes, as if she was planning to fall asleep.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and looked at her. She seemed to be really asleep. Her breathing was steady and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. She had a very real sleeping look.
I told him forget it under the pretense of being drunk. How much is true and how much is false?
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand and gently brushed her long hair.
never mind?
Once upon a time, didn't he say this to himself?
But now, it doesn't matter.
When Huo Jinxi's fingers caressed her flawless face, the doorbell suddenly rang again.
The difference from before was that this time the doorbell rang very quickly, as if the people outside would not stop until the door opened.
Mu Qian leaned on his shoulder without even frowning, as if she was not affected by the doorbell outside at all.
Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly for a moment, then finally stood up, carried her into the bedroom, and threw her on the bed. Then he turned around and came out, walked to the door and opened the door.
"Mu Qian, are you dead? It took you so long—"
Cen Xuxu stood outside the door, looking at Huo Jinxi behind the door, his mouth turned into an "O" shape, and the rest of the words seemed to disappear in his throat.
After a while, she came back to her senses and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who are you?" Huo Jinxi asked without answering.
Cen Xuxu answered the question inappropriately: "I came to see Mu Qian, where is she? Where is she?"
As she said that, she rushed in the door, looked around the living room, and walked directly into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Mu Qian had already pulled the quilt to cover herself, but Cen Xuxu stepped forward to lift the quilt and began to shake her, "Mu Qian! Mu Qian!"
Mu Qian lay there, motionless.
Cen Xuxu was a little annoyed, lowered his head and shouted: "Are you dead?"
Mu Qian turned over and buried her head in the pillow.
Cen Xuxu was so angry that he pushed her twice more, then stood up and walked out of the bedroom.
Huo Jinxi was standing in the open kitchen. He finally found a cup and poured himself a glass of water. Unexpectedly, Cen Xuxu rushed out of the bedroom, grabbed the glass of water from his hand, and drank it in one gulp.
All.
Huo Jinxi'an looked at her quietly, neither saying anything nor asking.
Cen Xuxu put down the cup and stared at him for a long time before speaking: "Are you the man who has a relationship with Mu Qian?"
Seeing that Huo Jinxi didn't answer, Cen Xuxu said again: "Mu Qian is now dating Su Mubai, the third young master of the Su family. Mrs. Su has even called my grandma. Don't be deceived by Mu Qian!"
"
"Your surname is Cen?" Huo Jinxi then asked.
Cen Xuxu immediately nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, do you know me?"
"I don't know." Huo Jinxi replied.
Cen Xuxu could not help but pout slightly and glared at him, "My name is Cen Xuxu, and my father's name is Cen Bohua."
When she said this, Huo Jinxi immediately understood her identity.
Rong Qingzi married Cen Bowen. Cen Bohua is Cen Bowen's younger brother and the current leader of the Cen family. However, after Cen Bowen died, he left most of his inheritance to Rong Qingzi. The Cen family gradually declined in the hands of Cen Bowen.
.
That's why Mrs. Cen set her sights on Mu Qian and wanted to use Mu Qian to win over the Su family.
The girl in front of her is Mu Qian's nominal cousin.
"What about you? Who are you?" Cen Xuxu looked at him and asked, "What is your relationship with Mu Qian?"
Huo Jinxi still didn't answer her question, but asked: "Is she your cousin?"
"Tch." Cen Xuxu sneered, "She was not born to my uncle, and besides, she has never stayed in our Cen family... Oh, no, she only stayed for a month or two... What kind of cousin is she to me?"
Huo Jinxi heard her words and slowly repeated a few words: "A month or two?"
