Chapter 301 Falling from the Altar

Obviously, Kuang and Wen did not expect that today's conversation would go so smoothly, and both of them were overjoyed after it ended.

Kuang Wenhai looked at the time and took the initiative to invite Huo Jinxi: "It's getting late. Do you want to have lunch together? You seem to be getting busier and busier recently. We haven't had dinner together for a few months, right?"

Huo Jinxi listened and was noncommittal.

Wen Li glanced at Huo Jinxi's expression, quickly laughed, and said to Kuang Wenhai: "Why are you so blind? Qianqian is still in the lounge, he can leave his wife to be with you

Going to eat?”

After hearing this, Kuang Wenhai quickly slapped his forehead, "Look at my brain, I really forgot about this. After all, the relationship between newlyweds is really good!"

Huo Jinxi had obviously exhausted all his patience. Although his expression remained as usual, he was no longer willing to give even one minute to Kuang and Wen. He completely ignored their teasing and quickly asked Zhuang Yan to come in and see him off.

The two left.

When Huo Jinxi walked into the lounge, Mu Qian was sitting on the bedside, watching videos on the tablet he placed beside the bed.

Looking up and seeing him walking in, Mu Qian was slightly surprised, "What's wrong? Has the negotiation collapsed?"

"It's settled." Huo Jinxi replied.

"So fast?" Mu Qian looked at the time in surprise. Only twenty minutes had passed since she came in.

According to Zhuang Yan, they have been arguing about this issue for two days and have never reached a consensus. Is it so efficient in just twenty minutes?

"Don't you want to eat?" Huo Jinxi said.

Mu Qian saw the important part of the video in her hand. After hearing this, she immediately said: "I asked Zhuang Yan to order lunch for you! Let me finish watching this video first! If you are hungry, just eat by yourself first."

Seeing this, Huo Jinxi untied his suit and came forward, sat down beside her, and looked at the tablet in her hand.

It turned out to be a documentary about a serial murder case. Huo Jinxi had no interest in this kind of thing, but he didn't move after sitting down.

Mu Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Aren't you going to eat first?"

Huo Jinxi glanced at her but didn't answer.

With a thought in mind, Mu Qian turned around, leaned into his arms, placed the tablet in a position suitable for both of them to watch, and continued to read.

Huo Jinxi adjusted his posture slightly, stretched out a hand to hold her, and let her continue to look.

A video lasted for more than an hour, and Huo Jinxi let her watch it.

Mu Qian stretched out, then suddenly remembered the time, stretched out her hand and touched his abdomen, "Are you hungry?"

The area under the palm was tight and firm, and felt extremely good. Mu Qian couldn't help but touch it twice more.

Huo Jinxi glanced at her and said, "If you want to stay here, I don't mind."

After hearing this, Mu Qian considered the situation before her and retracted her hand reluctantly.

When the two of them walked out of the lounge, Zhuang Yan was walking in from outside carrying the lunch he ordered for the third time.

The lunches delivered twice before were distributed to other colleagues on the 26th floor before Liang. Fortunately, the time was just right this time.

"Mr. Huo, your lunch."

With Mu Qian here, the atmosphere in the office was obviously much more relaxed, and Zhuang Yan also relaxed a little. While placing lunch on the table in the reception area, he raised his eyebrows and snickered at Mu Qian.

Mu Qian pretended not to notice, sat next to Huo Jinxi, picked up a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth, saying to Huo Jinxi: "You eat, I will eat the fruit, and I will leave after you finish."

As soon as Huo Jinxi saw her appearance, he knew that she must have had lunch, but he did not expose her. He just put the fruit in front of her and took the chopsticks to eat.

The fruit for each person was finished in a short time. Mu Qian was bored and took out a magazine to flip through. Who knew that after flipping through a magazine, when she looked up, she found that Huo Jinxi hadn't finished eating yet.

Mu Qian put down the magazine and got up to go to the bathroom.

As soon as she walked out of the office, Zhuang Yan, who was sitting outside, immediately looked up at her and smiled narrowly, "It's just lunch, do you want to be so obsessed with me?"

"What are you obsessed with?" Mu Qian stepped forward and poked her forehead, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhuang Yan was obviously dissatisfied, "Mr. Huo usually only takes about twenty minutes to have lunch, but today it's been forty minutes and you haven't finished eating yet?"

Mu Qian couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this.

Judging from his usual eating habits, it seems that his eating speed today is indeed too slow.

She suddenly remembered what she said before -

She said, I will leave after you finish eating.

Could it be that Huo Jinxi ate so slowly just because of her words?

"To be honest, I never thought that Mr. Huo would have such a side." Zhuang Yan said, suddenly snickering to himself.

Mu Qian glanced at her, "What does he look like in your eyes?"

Zhuang Yan immediately counted the numbers to her, "Aloof, aloof, indifferent, and aloof from the world. To me, Mr. Huo used to be a man on a pedestal. But since you appeared, he has fallen."

It’s a sacred platform…”

Mu Qian smiled, "He is your boss, you dare to say such things."

"To be honest," Zhuang Yan said, "you are the person closest to him, and you know best how he treats you. Tell yourself, is this true?"

Mu Qian chuckled, then moved slightly closer to her and whispered: "I won't tell you."

Zhuang Yan couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "Show me your life!"

When Mu Qian returned to the office, Huo Jinxi finally finished the meal unavoidably.

Mu Qian happened to bring Zhuang Yan a cup of coffee and put it in front of him, "Your after-dinner coffee."

Huo Jinxi glanced at the cup of coffee, then raised his eyes to look at her, "What are you doing this afternoon?"

"Rest." Mu Qian replied.

"Go home?" Huo Jinxi asked casually.

Mu Qian suddenly shook his head and pointed to his lounge, "I'm going to rest here."

Huo Jinxi's eyes flickered, and after being quiet for a moment, he said, "Just because of that post?"

Mu Qian paused suddenly.

Is it because of that post?

She doesn't know it herself.

But since Huo Jinxi had already found a reason for her, why didn't she accept it?

"Yes." Mu Qian raised her chin slightly and replied, "It's just for that post. If you're not happy with it, then drive me away!"

After saying that, Mu Qian stood up and walked towards the lounge in a swaggering manner.

Huo Jinxi sat for a while, then finally stood up and followed him into the lounge again.
