It wasn't until Mu Qian left that Qi Yuan came back to his senses. He immediately became anxious and regretted having handed the key to Mu Qian so rashly.
Zhuang Yan couldn't stand his look, so she rolled her eyes and asked him, "What did Mr. Huo tell you when you first came in?"
"He didn't say anything." Qi Yuan replied with a sigh.
"Then we're not married anymore?" Zhuang Yan said, "If Mr. Huo really didn't want to see Miss Mu, with his temper, he would have divorced us long ago. Can't you be smarter?"
Qi Yuan listened and thought carefully for a moment, only to feel that it made some sense.
Just as he was thinking about this, the intercom on Zhuang Yan's desk suddenly rang, and Zhuang Yan quickly connected: "Mr. Huo."
"Ask the Human Resources Department to issue two warning letters." Huo Jinxi's voice without any warmth came from the speaker, "You and Qi Yuan each send one letter."
Zhuang Yan: "..."
Qi Yuan clenched his fist fiercely, wanting to rush forward and strangle her to death!
…
Huo Jinxi's new apartment is located in the most prosperous area of the city, in a quiet location. It has two floors, with high separation and a large area. The huge floor-to-ceiling window is the iconic building of Tongcheng. It looks luxurious no matter how you look at it.
Mu Qian didn't have time to visit, so she hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes, then went out again.
It was almost eleven o'clock when we arrived at the nursing home. When Mr. Huo's secretary Ding Yang saw Mu Qian, he almost screamed out in surprise, "Miss Mu, you are back! The old man talks about you every day!"
"How is grandpa's health lately?" Mu Qian asked as he walked inside.
Ding Yang's face suddenly became serious, "It's not very good. Recently, the old man has not been able to sleep well at night. He sleeps intermittently during the day and is in very low spirits."
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart.
When he walked into Mr. Huo's room, Mr. Huo was still asleep.
Mu Qian suddenly felt very guilty.
When she was with him, Mr. Huo was in a good mood and in good spirits. However, after she left for a few months and came back, Mr. Huo was obviously older again, and his brows were furrowed even when he slept.
appearance.
Mu Qian couldn't help but stop, turned around and wanted to walk out so as not to disturb his rest.
Who knew that Mr. Huo seemed to hear the footsteps and woke up suddenly.
Hearing the noise, Mu Qian quickly turned around, walked to the bed and looked at Mr. Huo with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm back!"
Mr. Huo just woke up and gasped twice with some difficulty. Then he seemed to gradually see her clearly, snorted twice and said: "You stinky girl, you still know how to come back!"
Mu Qian sat down by the bed and lay on Mr. Huo's quilt to act coquettishly, "Grandpa is here in Tongcheng, I will definitely come back!"
Mr. Huo was as childish as ever and just hummed.
Mu Qian stayed with Mr. Huo all day long, and was ready to leave at five o'clock in the afternoon to fulfill her promise to Huo Qiran in the morning - to pick him up from school.
When Mr. Huo heard that she was leaving, he was unhappy at first, but when he heard that she was going to pick up Huo Qiran, he immediately drove her away happily.
Mu Qian received Huo Qiran and went directly back to Huo Jinxi's new apartment.
"Have you been here before?" Mu Qian asked Huo Qiran after entering the door.
Huo Qiran nodded.
"Then why don't you live here?"
Huo Qiran wrote the answer in his notebook: "Grandma Lin doesn't like it here."
Mu Qian thought for a moment and realized that the older generation was relocating and would not move easily to the place they were used to.
"Then do you like it here?" Mu Qian asked again.
Huo Qiran nodded again.
"Then we'll live here from now on, okay?" Mu Qian knelt down and looked at him.
Huo Qiran looked at her, his eyes clearly full of expectation, but also full of uncertainty.
Mu Qian touched his head and said, "I'll live with you."
Huo Qiran's cheeks turned red little by little after hearing this. He stared at Mu Qian for a long time, then nodded quickly, turned around and ran towards the bathroom.
Looking at his back, Mu Qian couldn't help but smile. When she turned around and saw the small notebook he used to write, she couldn't help but sigh.
Probably because he has always used writing to communicate with others, Huo Qiran's handwriting is good, and the number of Chinese characters he masters is far more than other children of the same age - for such a smart child, how can he be so silent in this life?
?
…
At night, when Huo Jinxi returned to the apartment, he opened the door and saw a room full of bright lights.
There was no one downstairs, so Huo Jinxi walked upstairs slowly.
The door of Huo Qiran's room was open, and Mu Qian's voice came from inside. He seemed to be reading a fairy tale.
Huo Jinxi stood in the corridor for a moment and then walked into the room.
Upon seeing him, Huo Qiran immediately glanced at Mu Qian nervously, but Mu Qian just smiled at him.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Huo Jinxi leaned at the door and looked at Huo Qiran with deep eyes.
"Go to sleep right away." Mu Qian answered for him, "Go to sleep after reading this chapter."
Huo Qiran nodded obediently.
Huo Jinxi didn't look at Mu Qian, turned around and walked away.
Mu Qian continued to read to Huo Qiran, took care of him to sleep, and then walked out of the room.
In the small living room on the second floor, Huo Jinxi was sitting on the sofa smoking.
Mu Qian walked over and said naturally: "Are you tired today? Do you want to take a hot bath and I'll put some water in for you?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to press Huo Jinxi's shoulder, but Huo Jinxi grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of her.
"What does this mean?" Huo Jinxi asked with a cold face.
Mu Qian laughed, "Didn't I tell you this morning? I want to marry you and be your good wife! I should serve you!"
As she said this, her free hand wrapped around Huo Jinxi's tie, bit by bit, picking at his tie which was still tightly tied.
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi continued: "How do you plan to retaliate against me this time?"
"Retaliation for what?" Mu Qian replied, "I already told you to let it go! Why are you holding on to the past?"
Huo Jinxi suddenly pulled her into his arms and inserted his other hand directly into her skirt.
Mu Qian dodged twice as if she was ticklish, and then laughed obediently.
"You are really willing to go out of your way for a person who is 'liangqing'." Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian buried herself on his shoulder, panting slightly when she heard the words and said, "It's not because of others, it's because of you."
Huo Jinxi suddenly took back his hand and pinched Mu Qian's face.
Mu Qian met his gaze, her voice soft and sweet: "I didn't know you would be so angry before, but the fact that you are angry means that you care about me, so I should be happy..."
"Mu Qian." Huo Jinxi suddenly called her, and the hand stuck on her chin slightly increased his strength, "Do you know? The other day you told me on the phone to roll as far as you want, and how hard you are, that's how you call me.
I like it."
Mu Qian blinked, "What day? When did I say such a thing?"
Huo Jinxi sneered, opened her door, stood up, went back to his room, and slammed the door.
