It was already night, and it was not convenient to do anything. In addition, Rong Heng needed to calm down and recover after being hit, and Mu Qian also needed to think about something, so this night was destined to be a sleepless night.
When Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi returned to Huo's house, Mr. Huo and Huo Qiran had already fallen asleep.
Mu Qian naturally didn't plan to sleep for the time being, so she dove into the study after coming back.
Huo Jinxi had left a lot of business behind him that day, so he finally found some time to do it. However, since the study room was already occupied by Mu Qian, he simply worked in his bedroom.
Who knew that within an hour, Mu Qian suddenly walked into the room.
She first pushed open the door and peeked inside. When she saw Huo Jinxi who was talking on the phone, she hesitated to speak.
It looked like she was here to sleep. Huo Jinxi took away the phone and glanced at her, "What's wrong?"
Mu Qian then came forward and sat directly in his arms, "Are you still dealing with official business?"
"Yeah." Huo Jinxi replied.
Mu Qian looked at his muted phone and saw Qi Yuan's name on the screen.
She couldn't help but pouted, and then said: "Is it a very important official matter? Do you have to finish it tonight?"
Huo Jinxi couldn't help but hear something, and looked at her with a slight smile in his eyes, "What do you want?"
Mu Qian immediately stretched out her hand and pointed at his phone, "I want this person on your phone."
Huo Jinxi had said before that she could ask Qi Yuan for anything. In fact, Qi Yuan was quite reliable. He completed almost everything Mu Qian asked him to do quickly and well.
It can be said that apart from being too honest, Qi Yuan is a very good assistant.
But tonight, she kept calling Qi Yuan, but he was still on the phone for more than half an hour.
Mu Qian naturally thought of Huo Jinxi, and when she came in, she found that he was indeed on the phone with Qi Yuan.
Although her request was somewhat unreasonable, she vaguely felt that Huo Jinxi would agree to it.
"It's getting late." Before Huo Jinxi could speak, Mu Qian said again, "You should go to bed early and deal with these things when you get to the company tomorrow. Don't stay up late. Staying up late makes you age faster."
"Really?" Huo Jinxi's eyebrows moved slightly after hearing this, but he just looked at her quietly.
That means clearly asking, what about you?
"I'm different. As a woman, I'll be back with a tonic." Mu Qian said, "Men can't help but suffer. The body is overdrawn and it can't be replenished no matter what."
She said it so seriously, as if it was the truth. Huo Jinxi knew she was talking nonsense, but he didn't want to refute it.
In just two sentences, Huo Jinxi handed her the phone directly.
Mu Qian happily took it and said, "Qi Yuan, I have something to ask you to help me with, please leave it alone first!"
As she spoke, she turned around and was about to walk out. After taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Huo Jinxi. Then she paused her communication with Qi Yuan and handed him the phone, "Hey
, I’ll call him on my mobile phone later.”
"No need." Huo Jinxi said, "Just take it and talk about it."
Mu Qian couldn't help but paused slightly. "Will you let me use your mobile phone?"
"Any questions?" Huo Jinxi asked.
Mu Qian raised her eyebrows suddenly, "In modern society, things like mobile phones are the most private. If I get your mobile phone, it means I have all your secrets. Are you really going to let me use it?"
Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly for a moment, "Do you think I have any secrets that I'm afraid you will know?"
"If you have another woman's contact information or photos on your phone, or a man's contact information and photos, and I find out, I won't be polite," Mu Qian said.
Huo Jinxi still sat there calmly and said slowly, "I'm very interested to see how you can be so rude."
"Well, since you handed over your phone to me, of course I have to trust you for the time being." After Mu Qian finished speaking, she suddenly ran into his arms again, smiled and kissed him, "Okay, you
Go to bed early and go do my thing."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out the door. Huo Jinxi sat quietly for a moment, then got up, changed his clothes and walked into the bathroom.
After Mu Qian returned to the study, he quickly handed over the work of producing some evidence to Qi Yuan.
The two people discussed the manufacturing methods and contents of these things, and more than an hour passed before they knew it.
Mu Qian was talking about something interesting when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
She thought it was Huo Jinxi, but when she looked up, it was her aunt walking in carrying a porcelain cup.
"You, you've been staying up late lately, how can your body bear it?" Auntie put the soup in front of Mu Qian and said, "After drinking the soup, go to bed early."
Mu Qian immediately thanked her obediently: "Thank you, auntie."
"No need to thank me." Auntie said, "Jin Xi asked me to stew it for you because you didn't eat well tonight. You must drink it."
Mu Qian couldn't help but pause slightly after hearing this.
The meal at Rong Heng's place in the evening was indeed hasty, but she didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, Huo Jinxi noticed it.
"Is he asleep?" Mu Qian asked.
"When you called me just now, you said you were ready to go to bed." Auntie said, "You should also go to bed early and don't stay up too late, do you hear me?"
Mu Qian nodded repeatedly.
After her aunt left, Mu Qian took two symbolic sips of soup and discussed the matter with Qi Yuan again.
She was full of energy, so Qi Yuan naturally didn't dare to feel sleepy. Besides, he had been trained long ago when he was following Huo Jinxi, so it was not a big deal to stay up all night.
Unexpectedly, an hour later, my aunt suddenly opened the door and walked into the study.
Mu Qian was startled, "Auntie, you don't want to sleep?"
"I'll collect the tableware." Auntie said, stepping forward to see how Mu Qian was drinking the soup, and then gave her a slight glare.
Mu Qian stuck out her tongue, but her aunt didn't say much. After packing her things, she muttered: "You won't sleep, and Jin Xi won't sleep either. The two of them will stay up all night..."
Mu Qian couldn't help but raise her eyes, "Huo Jinxi isn't asleep yet?"
"Isn't it?" said the aunt, "the lights are still on in the house."
Huo Jinxi was indeed not asleep yet.
In fact, he had already fallen asleep, but he didn't fall asleep. He simply sat up again and opened the computer to check emails.
This situation is rare.
Although his sleeping condition has never been good, when he is alone, he rarely has this kind of situation where he wants to sleep but cannot fall asleep.
Obviously this is the most relaxing moment for him, but now he always feels that there is something missing.
As for what exactly is missing?
The answer is self-evident.
After browsing a few important emails online, Huo Jinxi took off the computer, got up and went to the bathroom.
When he came out of the bathroom again, he was keenly aware that there seemed to be something different in the room.
Although on the surface, everything was still the same as before, he was sure that there was something different.
Huo Jinxi walked back to the bed and reached into the quilt with a familiar hand.
