Chapter 225 Staring at me all night, what do you mean?
Huo Jinxi came back with Qi Yuan. He was still wearing the black coat he wore when he went out in the morning, which showed that he came back from the company.
These days, he leaves early and comes back late. Mu Qian also had time to ask about his schedule. Seeing him now, she couldn't help but be startled, "It's New Year's Eve, don't you still have a holiday? Qi Yuan, doesn't your family celebrate the Spring Festival?
?”
"Work is important." Qi Yuan replied, turned to look at Huo Jinxi for instructions, and then went upstairs.
Huo Jinxi walked to the sofa, took a look at Mu Qian and Huo Qiran's very casual clothes, and said, "Go up and change."
"Why are you changing clothes?" Mu Qian said, "It's New Year's Eve, where do you want to go?"
Huo Jinxi tilted his head slightly and looked at her, "What do you think?"
On New Year's Eve, which is also the day to have a warm New Year's meal, he didn't answer the question, and the meaning was self-evident.
Mu Qian hugged Huo Qiran and huddled into the sofa, "Stop it, a place like the mansion is not suitable for me and Qi Ran. We can go back to make instant noodles, which is more comfortable than going to the mansion to eat. Right?"
Huo Jinxi didn't say much to her, and just asked: "Grandpa asked you to go, will you go?"
When Mu Qian heard this, he suddenly paused, looked at Huo Qiran, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "Since the supreme ruler has spoken, why don't you have to go?"
After saying that, she pushed Huo Qiran, and the two of them went upstairs one after the other.
Huo Jinxi stood downstairs, watching the two people going upstairs. When he looked back, his eyes darkened.
Mu Qian led Huo Qiran and just went upstairs when she met Qi Yuan who came out of Huo Jinxi's study with some documents.
"Is there really so much to do?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask.
Qi Yuan paused and replied: "It's the Spring Festival in China, but the Christmas holiday abroad has long passed."
"He's not abroad, so how could he be so busy?" Mu Qian responded casually.
"Mr. Huo has decided to go to the United States during the Spring Festival holiday and will leave early this morning." Qi Yuan said, "Madam, you should know about this."
Mu Qian was startled again.
She did know this.
But at that time, Huo Jinxi said that she would take Huo Qiran on a study tour and live with her in Philadelphia for a while.
Later, she accepted the case from Meng Linsheng and canceled Huo Qiran's study tour plan. She originally thought that he had canceled the trip.
"Didn't he change his plan?" Mu Qian asked.
Qi Yuan smiled helplessly and said: "How can such a big thing be changed just by saying it will change?"
After saying that, he added: "I have to rush home for New Year's Eve dinner, so I'll leave first."
Qi Yuan turned around and left. Mu Qian shrugged and walked into Huo Qiran's room to help him choose clothes first.
In fact, Huo Qiran had already made his own decision. When Mu Qian walked into his room, he had already picked out a small suit and was almost dressed.
"Not bad, not bad." Mu Qian stepped forward to help him straighten his collar and comb his hair, "Actually, you really should go back to the mansion today. At least you will be able to get some lucky money with the new year's money."
Huo Qiran pursed his lips, as if he was not very interested in this point.
After Mu Qian helped him clean up, she stared at him for a moment, and suddenly felt doubtful: "Actually, you are so similar to your dad..."
Then Cheng Manshu should like this grandson very much, right?
Is it just because the identity of his biological mother is unknown that he is so unwelcome?
She didn't say the next words. Huo Qiran turned his head to look at her with some confusion. Mu Qian shrugged, touched his head, and chuckled, "As handsome as ever."
Huo Qiran also laughed, looking slightly shy, and then looked behind Mu Qian.
Mu Qian noticed something and turned around, and sure enough, Huo Jinxi was leaning at the door of the room, clearly hearing all her words.
Huo Jinxi was really handsome when he was in his early twenties, but now, after more than ten years of trials and tribulations, he can no longer be described as handsome.
Mu Qian then turned to Huo Qiran and added: "No, you are much more handsome than your dad. You are young after all!"
Huo Jinxi: "..."
It wasn't until the three of them went out and got into the car together that Huo Jinxi said to Mu Qian, "After dinner, I will fly to New York overnight."
"Oh." Mu Qian responded, "Qi Yuan told me."
Huo Jinxi said nothing more.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Huo Qiran for you." Mu Qian said, then stretched out her hand to pinch Huo Qiran's face, and smiled slyly, "Didn't I promise to take you on a short trip before? You are so busy today.
Get some New Year's money, and let's spend whatever you get!"
Huo Qiran was dissatisfied with Mu Qian pinching herself like this, but he couldn't help but be happy when he heard what Mu Qian said. The expression on his face was very complicated and wonderful for a while, and Mu Qian couldn't help pinching again and again.
Huo Jinxi turned to look out the window and ignored them.
When we arrived at the Huo family mansion, there was a scene of lively laughter in the hall. There were more than 20 people from the Huo family, except for Huo Xiaoxiao and some others who were not so well-known, almost everyone was here.
It can be seen that Huo's profits should be good this year, because when Huo Jinxi brought Mu Qian and Huo Qiran into the door, everyone rushed to greet Huo Jinxi, including the four people who had fallen out with Huo Jinxi because Huo Xiaoxiao was sent to Indonesia.
Uncle, he is also smiling all over his face right now.
Seeing this situation, Mu Qian could only sigh, it's great to have money.
Because of Huo Jinxi, everyone was equally favorable to her. When giving red envelopes to Huo Qiran, they did not forget to give one to her as the new daughter-in-law who had just entered the family.
Mu Qian was reluctant to accept the red envelope, and after asking the old man for a big red envelope, she asked about other things, asking the old man: "Where is Huo Jinxi's mother?"
"During this period of time, she has shut herself in her room to recuperate, and has not seen anyone else." Mr. Huo said, "That's good, there will be less fuss, and everyone will be relaxed."
Sure enough, Cheng Manshu didn't show up when it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone didn't seem to care and continued to celebrate the New Year lively as usual.
Mu Qian has not felt such a New Year atmosphere in many years.
Needless to say, when she was in Philadelphia, going back further, the New Year's Eve dinner was equally cold to her in those years when she was at the Huo family.
Because except for Mr. Huo and Huo Bainian, almost no one else would pay attention to her. She would often hide in a corner or go back to her room after a lively meal, and continue to be that inconspicuous person.
Except when I was seventeen.
On New Year's Eve when she was seventeen, she had Huo Jinxi.
Amidst the excitement as always, she felt excited and hopeful, so she did not hide back in her room early, but sat downstairs watching TV.
But she has no memory of what programs were included in the Spring Festival Gala that year.
On the contrary, her eyes and heart were filled with images of him playing poker with his cousins.
Halfway through the game, Huo Jinxi suddenly pushed the cards and said, "It's a bit hot. You guys play while I go up and take a shower."
He got up and went upstairs amidst the dissatisfied voices of everyone. Mu Qian sat downstairs in a daze for a moment, and then got up and went upstairs.
She was originally going to go back to her room, but when she got to the second floor, she couldn't help but walk to the door of his room and raised her hand to knock on the door, but she hesitated again.
When she turned around to leave, the door behind her suddenly opened, and a hand quickly pulled her into the house.
Before she could react, she was already pressed against the back of the door, and in her ears was Huo Jinxi's low, laughing voice: "You've been staring at me all night, what do you mean?"
