Mu Qian looked at Qi Yuan's panicked movements and was almost amused by him.
"Do you need to be so nervous?"
Qi Yuan drove the car seriously. Because Huo Jinxi didn't rest, he naturally couldn't take a good rest. At this moment, he could only stare at the road ahead with extra effort, and listened to what Mu Qian said without turning his head to look at her.
There was a lot of traffic all the way, and it was already past nine o'clock when the two arrived at Huo's. Huo Jinxi and Zhuang Yan had already entered the conference room.
Qi Yuan opened the door of Huo Jinxi's office for Mu Qian, and then said: "Go in and wait for Mr. Huo. He has had a fever for three days in a row, and it has not gone away, and he refuses to take a good rest. If he continues like this, he will collapse.
of."
"Your boss doesn't seem like someone who can be defeated so easily." Mu Qian replied casually.
Qi Yuan was about to turn around and leave. When he heard these words, he couldn't help turning around, holding the door that was slowly closing, and looked at Mu Qian, "Do you know that I have been with Mr. Huo for so long?
, have you ever seen him sick? He seems to be invulnerable to all poisons, but this time after returning from Philadelphia, he became sick. In the past, he did not allow himself to collapse, but now, he no longer struggles to hold on, he is exposed
Weakness, this is just the beginning."
Mu Qian looked at him quietly, blinking her eyes, as if digesting what he said.
"You should know Mr. Huo's temper better than I do." Qi Yuan said, "You know... he is really sad."
After hearing this, Mu Qian just smiled softly.
Qi Yuan turned around and went out, and then she walked towards Huo Jinxi's desk.
There were several documents spread out on the table waiting for his review, as well as a sandwich that had only been bitten into. A cup of black coffee was drunk cleanly, but the glass of water and the medicine next to the water were not touched.
Qi Yuan said that he was really sad.
So what does Qi Yuan think she can do?
She had obviously told him the method the night he came back, to have a good sleep and he would be fine when he woke up.
But he didn't recover, what else could she do?
She was sitting in Huo Jinxi's chair and inadvertently touched the touchpad on the table. The computer screen suddenly lit up. When Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked up, her whole body suddenly froze.
A smiling face appeared on the screen, smiling at her.
She froze there and didn't react for a long time.
Before this, she had not seen a photo of Xiaoxiao for a long, long time, and even when she was dreaming, she could hardly remember what she looked like.
But at this moment, Xiaoxiao was right in front of her, smiling at her like a living person.
But she will never come back.
Mu Qian came to her senses, suddenly pushed the chair away, stood up and walked out.
But just as she walked to the door, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Huo Jinxi walked in, and she ran directly into Huo Jinxi's arms.
Huo Jinxi had been ill for a few days, and he still looked like the calm and steady president of Huo's. However, his brows still inevitably showed signs of fatigue, especially after he walked into the office, he seemed to be a little slumped.
But the moment Mu Qian ran into his arms, he seemed to wake up instantly.
"Why are you here?" he asked her in a low voice.
"I've passed." Mu Qian replied, "Now I'm ready to leave."
She was about to go out around him, but Huo Jinxi didn't let her go.
He squeezed her hand tightly, his palms were hot, and he squeezed her hand with great strength.
Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked at him, "I still have something to do and am in a hurry. I don't have time to tell you anything else-"
"Okay." Huo Jinxi looked at her desolate eyes and spoke slowly, "I don't have time to talk about anything else, so let's talk and laugh."
Mu Qian's body suddenly stiffened, and the next moment, she began to struggle hard, trying to withdraw her hand.
But Huo Jinxi didn't let her wish.
He just looked at her and said slowly: "When Xiaoxiao is three years old, she should have a lot of photos and videos, but I only have two in my hand. Can you... give me a few more?"
"No." Mu Qian refused bluntly, "I don't."
"You have." Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian suddenly fell silent. After a long time, she raised her head again, met Huo Jinxi's gaze, and said slowly: "Huo Jinxi, you can't do this to me."
There was no expression on her face, and there was no fluctuation in her voice. Only her eyes were desolate to the extreme.
Huo Jinxi raised his hand, gently held her face, and said in a low voice: "I'm giving you a chance... to punish me."
She suddenly laughed, and the smile appeared faintly on her face, no longer as bright as before.
"I knew it, I knew it..." she murmured with a slight smile, "I can't tell you, I can't let you know... Once you know it, you will have new ways to torture me... Just like now, right?
wrong?"
"I am her father." Huo Jinxi said, "I should know everything about her from birth to three years old."
"Are you worthy?" When she spoke again, Mu Qian's voice was already trembling slightly, "Have you fulfilled your responsibility as a father for a day? Why do you know everything about her?"
Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly without responding.
"Huo Jinxi, you are not worthy..." Her eyes turned slightly red uncontrollably, she looked at him intently, and spoke word by word, "None of us are worthy... You are not worthy to be her father... I am not worthy to be her either.
's mother..."
"I'm not worthy." Huo Jinxi said, "You are very good..."
Mu Qian bit her lip hard, but her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. After a long time, she spoke: "I'm not good...I haven't done all the things a mother should do...I haven't taken care of her."
She didn't spend time with her well... I thought we would have a lot more time in the future... But she left and she didn't give me a chance... She didn't forgive me..."
She finally cried, and tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably, blurring everything in front of her eyes.
Huo Jinxi held her face and gently wiped her tears with his fingertips, but was quickly wetted by new tears.
He finally gave up, withdrew his hand and hugged her into his arms.
She leaned against his chest and finally cried.
Cold tears soaked through his suit and shirt, penetrating into his heart.
There is no real empathy in the world, but at this moment, he could truly feel how much pain she was feeling.
From an unexpected pregnancy to giving birth to a child, she then studied hard to create the best life for her child. However, before everything she imagined could come true, and before she even had time to spend more time with her child, the child had already left.
She left.
She feels guilty, she blames herself, and she has nowhere to turn.
No one would be in more pain than her, but she endured it forcefully.
She told him to have a good sleep and wake up and everything would be fine.
