Mu Qian was vaguely aware of Huo Jinxi's emotions, still leaning on the bedside, blinking at him, "Of course it's important, aren't I asking for your opinion?"
"Ask for my opinion?" Huo Jinxi's lips curled up, but with an extremely cold smile, "If I say no, will you consider it?"
Mu Qian stood up and rushed to where he was, "Of course I will!"
What she said was so insincere that she didn't even believe it herself.
Huo Jinxi glanced at her, turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Mu Qian stayed on the bed for a while before Huo Jinxi walked out of the bathroom and opened the closet to change clothes.
"Are you still going out?" Mu Qian asked.
Huo Jinxi stood in front of the closet with his back to her, ignoring her.
The closet is filled with his shirts and suits. Compared with the closets in his other residences, it is really narrow and cramped.
Mu Qian watched Huo Jinxi take out a shirt and put it on himself, then stepped forward to pick out a tie for him and handed it to him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jinxi still didn't even look at it. He reached for another tie and tied it on himself.
Mu Qian sighed, put the tie in his hand back to its original position, and then said: "If I don't tell you, you will definitely be angry. If I tell you, you will be angry too, so what can I do?"
Huo Jinxi tied up his tie and finally turned to look at her again.
"You have to worry about grandpa's health, you have to consider whether Qi Ran will be disappointed, and you have to help Meng Linsheng investigate the case." He said with a cold expression, "There are so many things to worry about, why bother paying attention to what I think?
?”
After saying this, Huo Jinxi picked up his suit jacket, turned around and walked out the door.
Mu Qian fell on his bed, eagerly watching him go out, but her mind was just thinking about what he just said——
Is this angry or jealous?
…
Facts have proved that Huo Jinxi was really angry this time.
Maybe it was because the new year was approaching and he was already busy with work, plus Cheng Manshu's affairs left him too busy to be around, so Mu Qian didn't see him for several days in a row.
Occasionally, I would hear him coming home, but it was usually late at night, she had already gone to bed, and he didn't come to see her, so naturally he couldn't see her.
Huo Qiran also took winter vacation soon.
He was very disappointed that Mu Qian broke her promise and could not accompany him on the study tour, but Mu Qian promised to take him on a short trip, and first took him to an amusement park to show her sincerity, and successfully coaxed Huo Qiran.
After playing in the amusement park for a day, both of them were exhausted. However, Mu Qian made an appointment with Ye Xi for dinner. Seeing that there was no time, she simply took Huo Qiran to the appointment.
When they arrived at the restaurant's private room, Ye Xi had already ordered the food. When she saw Mu Qian walking in with a little boy, Ye Xi was suddenly startled and her eyes fell on Huo Qiran, and she did not look away for a long time.
"Let me introduce you, Huo Qiran." Mu Qian pointed lazily and introduced the two of them to each other, "Aunt Ye Xi."
Huo Qiran nodded slightly towards Ye Xi as a greeting, and Ye Xi smiled reluctantly.
Mu Qian told Huo Qiran to wash his hands. Huo Qiran got up obediently and walked into the bathroom. Only then did Ye Xi speak: "This child... listens to you very much."
"Because I get along well with him." Mu Qian replied.
After hearing this, Ye Xi frowned slightly, paused and then said: "His mother..."
"An unsolved mystery." Mu Qian replied.
"Don't you mind?" Ye Xi glanced in the direction of the bathroom, then looked at Mu Qian, "What if his mother shows up one day?"
Mu Qian shrugged, "Then let's wait until his mother shows up. What do I have to be afraid of?"
Mu Qian took the menu and ordered for Huo Qiran again. Huo Qiran happened to come out of the bathroom. Ye Xi looked at him, then at Mu Qian, and finally said nothing.
"What happened to that person?" After ordering the food, Mu Qiancai asked Ye Xi again.
"It's just... it's still the same as before." Probably because of Huo Qiran, Ye Xi looked a little uncomfortable.
"You have a good hold on him. From what I see, Lu Tang won't give up so easily. He might cause some trouble." Mu Qian said, "I will be busy next time, so I won't be able to take care of you."
Ye Xi frowned again and then said, "What are you busy with?"
"I found a new job and I have a case to investigate." Mu Qian replied.
Ye Xi was a little surprised, "You want to be a reporter again? Does Huo Jinxi agree?"
"Of course he will be unhappy." Mu Qian said, "He doesn't want to see me these days. He hasn't shown up for several days."
"Isn't it? How long has it been since you two began to have conflicts? What will you do in the future?" Ye Xi's eyes were full of worry and she couldn't help but glance at Huo Qiran again.
Mu Qian chuckled lightly, "It's okay, he's acting like a spoiled brat."
"Who?" Ye Xi couldn't help but be surprised, "Huo Jinxi?"
Coquettish? These two words have nothing to do with Huo Jinxi, right?
Mu Qian nodded, "He thinks I don't care about him enough."
"What about actually?" Ye Xi asked.
Mu Qian spread her hands helplessly, "Human energy is limited. With so many people and things around us, it is inevitable that some of it will be unevenly distributed."
"But he is your husband, and you promised that you would live a good life with him."
Mu Qian picked up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "I will coax him well when I find time."
After hearing this, Ye Xi really didn't know how to evaluate it. After being quiet for a while, he said again: "What case do you want to investigate? Is it dangerous?"
"Nothing has been found yet. Who knows?" Mu Qian said, "But dangers are everywhere. If you go out for a walk, you might encounter a psychotic murderer, right?"
Ye Xi looked at her helplessly and had nothing to say.
…
After having dinner with Ye Xi, Mu Qian took Huo Qiran back to her old house and fell asleep. It was not until about two o'clock in the morning that she suddenly woke up from thirst and reluctantly got out of bed to look for water.
There was no light on in the living room, and the newly installed floor lamps on the stairs turned on one after another as she went downstairs. Mu Qian walked briskly to the bottom of the stairs, but at a glance she saw someone sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She was startled and couldn't help complaining: "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Huo Jinxi sat there, a little scarlet slowly burning in his fingers, but he remained motionless, watching her figure coming downstairs.
She was wearing a suspender nightgown. Although it was different from the style she usually wore as a girl, it was both white. In addition to her bare face, in the hazy light and shadow, for a moment, he seemed to see Mu Qian in the past.
But when he came back to his senses, what Fu Chengyu said repeatedly echoed in his mind -
Just don't tie yourself up by using the past. Things in the past are still in the past.
