Mu Qian sat in this restaurant until it closed and didn't eat much. After leaving, she stopped by a nearby supper restaurant and ate a pot of seafood porridge before driving home.
It was already late at night when I returned to the old house. Only the floor lamp was left in the house, and it seemed that everyone who should sleep had already gone to bed.
Mu Qian changed her shoes at the entrance. As soon as she walked into the living room, she suddenly saw someone sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was so frightened that she almost threw away her handbag.
Huo Jinxi was sitting on the sofa facing the door, with his long legs crossed and a calm posture. It was obviously a very normal posture, but under such a lighting environment, the expression on his face was a little blurry.
Even though Mu Qian couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, she could basically feel the heavy air pressure in the living room.
It was obvious that this person was sitting here so late just to wait for her.
Mu Qian threw her handbag casually, then walked forward, sat directly on Huo Jinxi's lap, and leaned into his arms.
"Huo Jinxi, I'm so miserable..." She stretched out her hands to hug Huo Jinxi's neck, and leaned her head weakly on his shoulder, "I was let go! I thought the other person just had a better personality, and maybe he was too
I wanted to see my sincerity, so I stupidly sat there until closing time! I didn’t even eat anything to wait for him! I waited for him for four hours like a fool! I’m so angry..."
Huo Jinxi'an sat quietly. In such an intimate gesture, he didn't even stretch out his hand to help Mu Qian. He only said two words lightly: "Really?"
Mu Qian whined for a while, as if remembering something, she turned her head slightly and glanced at him, "Are you angry with me?"
Huo Jinxi's face was stern, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
"I know I let you go, but I didn't want to!" Mu Qian continued to act coquettishly, "God knows how much I want to go to the concert with you, but it's all because of that painter! It's so disrespectful!"
Huo Jinxi still ignored her. Mu Qian stared at him for a while, leaned into his chest again, and at the same time raised her hand to touch the buttons of his shirt, "Will the concert sound good?"
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and his eyes fell on her hands.
While Mu Qian was asking him questions, the hand on his chest had already unbuttoned his buttons.
She flicked the collar of his shirt slightly, then moved closer and sniffed gently.
There was only the smell of his usual cologne, a very light, calm and refreshing aroma.
Mu Qian paused, then suddenly took his hand again, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it.
Hmm, it also smells very clean.
Mu Qian suddenly laughed softly, raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Didn't you say...you had a relationship with that Miss Su? Why did you go to her concert and not reminisce about the past?"
"Is it enough to just reminisce about the past?" Huo Jinxi finally spoke again, his eyes falling heavily on her face, "Aren't you looking forward to something else?"
Mu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him seriously.
Huo Jinxi's expression remained unchanged.
As soon as she came back, she acted coquettishly and tried to please her. After many actions, his attitude showed no sign of softening. It was obvious that this time, he was really angry when she asked him to attend the concert alone.
"What can I expect?" Mu Qian said, "After all, the person that Miss Su sincerely wanted to invite was not me, and the person that others wanted to see was not me. The person who covered me with quilts and chatted all night long was not me, and I was not the one who spent money to give people away.
I’m not the one who went abroad——”
After what she said, Huo Jinxi finally reacted.
After Mu Qian finished speaking, she was about to get up from his lap, but Huo Jinxi hooked her waist to prevent her from moving.
Mu Qian struggled for a moment but couldn't break free.
"What you said is true and I won't refute it." Huo Jinxi said, "Where did you hear this from when we covered ourselves with quilts and chatted all night long?"
Mu Qian sneered, "Oh? Isn't it a fact that we just chat under the quilt? What is the fact? What did you do under the quilt?"
As soon as these words came out, the unreasonable meaning was very obvious.
Even the critic and the person being criticized are invisibly switching between her words.
How could Huo Jinxi not notice it?
He didn't want to get into more trouble with this issue, so he turned away and said nothing.
Mu Qian bit her lip, glanced at Huo Jinxi again, and continued: "You don't know how much you like tonight's arrangement. Who are you pretending to be angry with me here?"
She is used to acting, and even if there are some things that both of them know well, she will only face them in the way she is used to.
Huo Jinxi had always just watched with cold eyes and not cooperated with her much, but now he suddenly said: "That's enough."
Mu Qian stared at him with aggrieved eyes.
"I've given you enough freedom to do what you want to do. If you want to use me to achieve any purpose, tell me frankly, and I may not cooperate." Huo Jinxi said, "Next time, I won't be able to use such means.
Use it on your body."
The grievance in Mu Qian's eyes suddenly disappeared and she returned to her normal appearance.
"You're right, I'm just using you." Mu Qian said, "But it's also because you're easy to take advantage of."
Huo Jinxi's eyes became darker and the expression on his face became lighter, which was a sign of real anger.
Mu Qian continued: "After all, that night, just a quick glance at someone on the street could make you completely lose control in bed..."
At this point, she suddenly sneered, "Why don't I use such useful people and things?"
After saying this, Mu Qian suddenly pushed him away, got up and went upstairs.
This time, Huo Jinxi didn't stop her.
He was still sitting there quietly, thinking about what Mu Qian had just said.
She said that just one glance at Su Yu on the street made him lose control in bed.
This sentence is obviously filled with emotion, but it is hard to tell whether the emotion is true or false.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead.
That night, the two of them slept in their own rooms, and there was no interaction between them before and after falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Mu Qian got up early, and when she went downstairs, Huo Jinxi and Huo Qiran were already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
Huo Jinxi only looked at her once, and then looked down at the tablet in his hand.
Mu Qian didn't look at him, walked over and sat down next to Huo Qiran, only stretched out her hand and touched Huo Qiran's head, "Good morning."
Huo Qiran smiled at Mu Qian and picked up the cup in front of him to drink milk. He was only halfway through drinking the milk when he suddenly seemed to sense something. He looked at Mu Qian and then at Huo Jinxi.
From eyes to body to language, the two people had no communication at all.
Without saying a word, Mu Qian cut the fried eggs brought by her aunt into pieces as if they were corpses.
Huo Qiran completely forgot to drink milk and looked at Mu Qian's movements with fear.
She moved too hard and cut the plate squeaking loudly. Huo Jinxi heard the noise and finally looked up at her again.
