Strangely enough, when Fu Chengyu said this that day, he just listened to it and didn't take it seriously.
But at this moment, when I saw Mu Qian from the past in a daze, these words suddenly came to my mind completely.
Did he tie himself up with the past?
Huo Jinxi's thoughts were a little vague.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Qian went into the kitchen to pour water, walked out with the water, and then turned on the light in the living room.
The originally dark living room suddenly became bright. Huo Jinxi had been sitting in the darkness for a long time. Now he was obviously not used to the light and couldn't help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Mu Qian was already sitting in front of him, looking at him eagerly.
Huo Jinxi still sat quietly, letting her look at him calmly.
Mu Qian stared at him for a moment and concluded: "You seem to have lost a little weight. Have you been busy recently?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi took a puff of cigarette, then turned his head slightly and looked at her, "What is this?"
"I care."
Mu Qian immediately leaned towards him and caught a glimpse of the cigarette in his hand. After frowning, she reached out to take the half-burned cigarette butt, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and then leaned back into his arms, "I
I haven’t seen you for a few days, shouldn’t I care about you?”
Huo Jinxi must have just returned not long ago. His suit was still neat and tidy, only his tie was slightly loose, and he was awake. It was rare that she came down to look for water today because she was thirsty, otherwise she might not be able to see him.
Mu Qian leaned against his chest with peace of mind, waiting for his response.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then slowly said after a moment: "Do you think we look like a couple?"
"What does it mean to be like a couple? We are already a couple." Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked at him, "Is there any book that stipulates what a couple should be like?"
Hearing her answer, Huo Jinxi actually laughed.
It's true... no one has stipulated what a couple should be like, but people like them are probably rare.
Mu Qian straightened up and looked at him, "After all, you are still angry about my promise to help Meng Linsheng investigate."
"Do you think so?" Huo Jinxi responded lightly, lowered his head and opened the cigarette case again.
Mu Qian stretched out her hand, held down his cigarette case, and looked at him with a rare serious expression, "Even if it's not the case, this incident can still be regarded as a trigger, right?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly shrugged, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, and then continued: "Huo Jinxi, I don't have any ideals or goals. The reason why I am a reporter is just to investigate those incidents.
I think it's interesting, I want to do something like this. If what you want is a wife who can live in an IKEA home, then I really can't do it. You once said that what you were looking forward to was not the Mu Qian you had seven years ago.
Believe it. But now I may not be able to do what you expect. If you regret and be disappointed, it's still too late."
She didn't look at him anymore, just drank water quietly.
Huo Jinxi's eyes fell on her rarely calm profile, and he said slowly: "It's still too late, what do you mean?"
Mu Qian's familiar smile once again appeared on his face, "What do you think?"
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, then Huo Jinxi suddenly reached out his hand and gently pinched her face.
"You think beautifully," he said.
Mu Qian laughed out loud, still looking bright and confident, "I didn't think about it that way, because I know... you can't let it go."
Before she finished speaking, Huo Jinxi lowered his head and sealed her lips.
Mu Qian still held a water glass in her hand, and when he kissed her like this, the water in the quilt suddenly spilled all over her body.
"Ah -" she couldn't help shouting and pushed Huo Jinxi away, "My skirt is even wet!"
Huo Jinxi's eyes fell on the wet part of her skirt. He stretched out his hand and tore the skirt into two halves and peeled it off.
Mu Qian screamed again, but she couldn't stop him at all.
She was pressed against the sofa by him, unable to move.
"Huo Jinxi." Mu Qian suddenly called him again, "I have made it clear to you that I still want to investigate this case."
Huo Jinxi didn't answer any more, but lowered his head and captured her lips.
Mu Qian laughed and made noise, and when she reached out to hug him, she couldn't help but think vaguely——
Last time he said he wanted to change places, and this time he actually changed places.
It's true - Huo Jinxi will do what he says.
…
After this night, Huo Jinxi probably calmed down a bit and acquiesced to Mu Qian to do what she wanted to do, so Mu Qian was really busy in the following time.
Firstly, she has to look for some clues among the information that Wu Xi left behind that seems to have nothing to do with this case. Secondly, she has to attend various large and small banquets.
As the end of the year approaches, major families and companies of all sizes in Tongcheng are having year-end banquets. Because of Huo Jinxi's status as Mrs. Huo Jinxi, Mu Qian has received countless invitations.
Huo Jinxi rarely attended such banquets, but Mu Qian was picky and chose two banquets, both medium and small, to attend.
Because of her status as Mrs. Huo, she naturally became the focus of everyone when she attended such a medium-sized banquet. Many people took the initiative to come forward to get to know her, including Qin Yang of the Qin family.
Qin Yang is young, about 30 years old, of medium build and average appearance.
After the Qin family lost three core members of its power due to accidents, Qin Yang has become the actual leader of the Qin family.
Mu Qian originally thought he would be a thoughtful person, but after getting to know him, she discovered that he was an extremely greasy and flamboyant second generation ancestor.
Among the crowd, he was the one who talked the most and laughed the loudest.
It is really difficult to associate such a person with those accidents.
After meeting twice at other people's banquets, as expected, the Qin family's annual party invitation was handed over to Mu Qian.
Most of these invitations were just a formality and polite. Qin Yang knew in his heart that a family like the Huo family was not something the Qin family could get, but it was not easy for him to become familiar with Mu Qian, so he still had to be polite.
Be careful, what if a miracle happens?
The result was a miracle.
On the day of the Qin family's annual meeting, Mu Qian showed her dignity and dressed up to attend.
Most of the people who have dealings with the Qin family are second- and third-rate small and medium-sized enterprises. The sudden appearance of a person like Mu Qian is already eye-catching, but she has been dressed up carefully, wearing an elegant and delicate black close-fitting evening dress.
A set of diamond jewelry is sparkling, the eyes are moving, the eyes are bright, the teeth are bright, and the smile is infinite.
Qin Yang was naturally flattered by her arrival, but Mu Qian looked calm and calm, "Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, and I happened to receive your post, so come over and play for a while."
"Pengpi shines! Pompon shines!" Qin Yang said repeatedly, welcoming Mu Qian all the way to the entrance.
After entering the venue, Mu Qian immediately became the center of the crowd.
This center originally belonged to Qin Yang, but Qin Yang was always around her, and with the other people who came up to talk and hand out business cards, Mu Qian felt like she was in a market.
Fortunately, she entered with a bodyguard. When there were too many people around, the bodyguard would calmly control the flow of people for her.
"Tsk, tsk, what a big pomp." Someone was talking privately, "Why is she so showy and high-profile at someone else's annual party?"
"She is beautiful, and her husband is Huo Jinxi, so of course she has the capital to be high-profile."
"This kind of woman looks restless at first sight, and I don't like that."
"Pfft!" A man's laughing voice suddenly came in from behind the conversation, "I like it very much."
