When Mu Qian finally returned to her room to take a shower, Mr. Huo walked into Huo Jinxi's study.
Huo Jinxi had already returned to work and did not put down the documents in his hand when he saw Mr. Huo coming in.
Mr. Huo sat down opposite him and said slowly: "Qianqian...do you forgive me?"
When Huo Jinxi heard this, the pen he was making annotation paused slightly, and finally he replied: "Maybe."
Mr. Huo said again: "What do you mean maybe? It's been like this... why didn't you ask her clearly what she was thinking?"
Huo Jinxi then put down his pen and raised his eyes to look at Mr. Huo, "Grandpa, you should know that there are some things that cannot be settled if you talk too much."
Regarding Mu Qian, Huo Jinxi clearly knows that the past is not easy to let go. Even if the past is completely cleared, for her, now is just the initial stage of starting over.
It was an unexpected surprise that she was willing to take this step.
He didn't want to delve into the deeper reasons.
The days are long, and right now, he can't ask for more from her.
Mr. Huo choked at his words, paused for a moment before sighing again, and said: "How will it develop in the future? You have to give me an answer, right? The wedding is still being prepared, and it will arrive in more than ten days.
The date has passed, whether we should notify all parties to cancel is a big question."
"This is no big deal." Huo Jinxi lowered his head and looked at the document again, "It's just a matter of one sentence."
He had always had his own way of doing things, and he did not care about issues related to human relations and sophistication. Mr. Huo knew his temperament and knew that there would be no result in discussing this matter with him, so he could only sigh slightly.
…
The next morning, as soon as Mu Qian woke up from her sleep, she heard her aunt knocking on her door, "Qian Qian, are you awake?"
Mu Qian sat up and responded vaguely.
"Your mother is here." Auntie said, "Get up quickly and go downstairs for breakfast."
Mu Qian was originally in a daze, but when she heard these words, she suddenly woke up.
Rong Qingzi, who has always been free and easy-going, after being defrauded of all her assets in Philadelphia, returned to Tongcheng with almost nothing, but she was still as happy as ever. Within a few days, she made an appointment with someone to go on a trip. They stayed away for more than ten days, and now she finally
came back.
She stood up slowly, washed briefly and then went downstairs.
Rong Qingzi was sitting at the breakfast table with Mr. Huo. To her surprise, Huo Jinxi, who always went out on time before 7:30, was still there, staring at Huo Qiran as he ate breakfast.
Seeing Mu Qian coming over, Huo Jinxi pulled out the chair next to her for her.
This action was natural, but Rong Qingzi couldn't help but take another look.
Mu Qian sat down next to Huo Jinxi, then looked at Rong Qingzi and smiled slightly, "Mom, are you back?"
"Yeah." Rong Qingzi responded lightly, without any unnecessary words.
In fact, a lot of things happened in the short ten days since she left. For example, it was revealed that Mu Qian gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, and Huo Jinxi confessed her love in public in a handwritten letter. Especially since Mu Qian had given birth to a child and brought the child to the age of three.
She knew nothing about it, but now that she knew it, she didn't seem to have much reaction and didn't even ask.
Mr. Huo obviously didn't want to mention these things in front of Mu Qian anymore, so he didn't say anything and just briefly talked about Rong Qingzi's experiences during her journey.
Mu Qian had no appetite, so she only asked her aunt for two slices of white toast. Huo Jinxi listened and said, "Give her a portion of scrambled eggs with milk and a cup of hot fresh milk."
Mu Qian was dissatisfied with her breakfast arrangement and couldn't help but glare at Huo Jinxi. Her eyes fell on Huo Qiran, and she saw Huo Qiran secretly smile.
Obviously, he was also arranged for breakfast. Now that Mu Qian is treated the same as him, he is very happy.
Mu Qian also glared at Huo Qiran, "You can help me eat half of it later."
Huo Qiran immediately calmed down his face, looked at his nose and heart, and went to eat his own food honestly.
Mu Qian looked away and fell on the coffee in Huo Jinxi's hand. She wanted to drink it for a moment, so she stretched out her hand to get it.
Who knew that Huo Jinxi knocked her hand away, glanced at her and said, "Don't drink coffee on an empty stomach."
Mu Qian woke up and was still angry. She snorted coldly and said, "Older people pay more attention to health."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her and was too lazy to respond.
Rong Qingzi sat aside and watched quietly for a moment before slowly speaking: "How are you preparing for your wedding?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the dining table for a moment.
Rong Qingzi suddenly noticed something and turned to look at Mr. Huo.
After a moment of silence, Mu Qian also raised her head, glanced past Huo Jinxi, and also looked at Mr. Huo, "It should still be in preparation in an orderly manner, right, Grandpa?"
Mr. Huo immediately put down the tableware in his hand and looked at Mu Qian seriously, "Grandpa will arrange it as you say."
"Then I'd better not get married." Mu Qian said.
The disappointment in Mr. Huo's eyes flashed, and he laughed quickly, "Yes, it's too hasty, and some places can't prepare well. A wedding that only comes once in a lifetime, of course, must be perfect. It's okay to wait."
"As for getting married, getting married early and getting married late is a waste of resources, which is not a good thing. I don't recommend it." Mu Qian supported her chin and smiled, "The problem is that no one has ever proposed to me. It's so unclear.
I won't be happy to marry myself off for nothing."
After saying that, she turned to look at Huo Jinxi.
The meaning of this statement is actually quite obvious.
The wedding was already more than half in preparation, and she said she didn't want to waste resources, which meant she had no objection to the wedding being held as scheduled, but she minded not having a proposal ceremony.
After hearing this, Mr. Huo almost laughed out loud with joy, and quickly looked at Huo Jinxi, "Jin Xi!"
Huo Jinxi met Mu Qian Guling's playful gaze, but just said slowly: "Do you care about these formal things?"
"Why don't you care?" Mu Qian replied, "If you don't care, then we can register to get married today. We don't have to do any church ceremony or have a big banquet for guests. Just keep it simple, right?"
"Jin Xi!" Mr. Huo saw this and said quickly, "Qianqian has already expressed her stance, what's the matter with you?"
Of course Huo Jinxi knew that this was Mu Qian's statement, but such a statement was not a reason for people to be overjoyed.
"All it takes is a proposal?" Huo Jinxi finally said.
Mu Qian had already looked away, with a slightly cold expression on her face, "Forget it if you don't want to, who can force me on you!"
When she threw down her napkin, stood up and was about to leave the table, Huo Jinxi suddenly grabbed her hand, turned around and walked out.
