On the way back to the car, Mu Qian was hugged by Huo Jinxi and listened to his apology and his words that it was his fault.
Recalling when she first returned to Tongcheng last year, the Huo Jinxi she faced at that time was the one who could say such a thing.
But now Huo Jinxi can actually apologize.
Mu Qian didn't know how to react for a moment, so she just shrank in his arms the whole time, letting him kiss her continuously, but she just remained silent.
When the car drove into the Huo family's old house and stopped steadily, Mu Qian suddenly broke away from his arms, opened the door and ran out of the car.
When Huo Jinxi entered the house, Mu Qian was sitting in front of Mr. Huo, raising her wrist to complain to Mr. Huo: "Grandpa, Huo Jinxi abused me at home!"
Huo Jinxi: "..."
Her skin is already fragile and can easily leave marks. He just grabbed her hard for a long time in the car, and some of the marks he left on her hands unexpectedly turned out to be marks of "domestic violence."
Mr. Huo took a closer look at the extremely light mark on her wrist, rolled his eyes, got up and walked upstairs.
"You two are playing tricks, stop using me as a shield!"
"Oh!" Mu Qian was furious, "You bad old man! That's not what you said when you tricked me into marrying me!"
Mr. Huo stopped on the stairs and turned to look at her, "Anyway, you are now a member of the Huo family. What else do I have to worry about?"
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!" Mu Qian said, "No wonder your grandson is so heartless and follows you!"
After hearing this, Mr. Huo turned his head indifferently and went straight upstairs without paying any attention to it.
Mu Qian snorted heavily.
Huo Jinxi then came forward, sat down next to her, picked up her hand and looked at it.
Mu Qian watched his actions coldly without saying a word.
"Does it hurt you?" Huo Jinxi asked.
Mu Qian snorted coldly and did not answer.
Huo Jinxi then turned around and asked his aunt to bring blood-removing ointment, and personally applied it to Mu Qian's barely visible injuries.
Such a scene is really rare. For Huo Jinxi, who has always been aloof and aloof, it can be regarded as a condescension.
However, Mu Qian looked at his actions and just said: "Don't think that tonight's incident will be over."
"I have no intention of escaping from the past." Huo Jinxi continued to focus on her wrist and spoke slowly.
Mu Qian suddenly pulled her hand back.
Huo Jinxi exerted a little force and continued to control her hand in his palm, and then raised his head to look at her.
"I did think of you after meeting her." Huo Jinxi said, "But even without her, sooner or later, you will still come back."
Mu Qian chuckled, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because no one knows me better than me." Huo Jinxi said.
For most people, life is moving forward, and the past will always pass. No matter how much pain and despair they experience, people will always say that hope is ahead.
But for him, hope is in the past.
On the road ahead in life, he cannot look forward to any future. Only by looking back at the past can he see the direction of light.
Meeting Lu Yuan made him look forward to the past.
And even if there is no Lu Yuan, one day, he will pursue his heart and find everything that cannot be left behind.
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment, then suddenly withdrew her hand forcefully and turned to look to the side, "Forget it, blame me for having a popular face. This one looks like me and that one looks like me... Ah, no, you should be thanking me.
Having a public face made Mr. Huo think of me at the critical moment."
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, "What kind of public face are you?"
Mu Qian then looked at him, "If not, how could I make you see my shadow in Su Yu and make you think of me because of Lu Yuan's eyes?"
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he stared at her quietly for a moment, but did not answer her question. Instead, he asked: "Perhaps I also had a popular face for a while?"
Upon hearing this question, Mu Qian's eyes suddenly froze.
Probably because of her change in personality, she didn't always remember the past very clearly, but the question Huo Jinxi asked quickly brought her back to the days when she first arrived in the United States eight years ago.
At that time, Huo Jinxi indeed had a "public face".
Not because of what he looks like, but because...his face appears on everyone's face.
Regardless of whether he looked like him or not, she could always see his face in other people.
It doesn't matter whether you're male or female, or even your race.
When you miss someone to the extreme, everything in the world is him.
Later, when she gradually came to her senses, she looked back at her journey and found it ridiculous.
But she never thought that one day, Huo Jinxi would experience the same state of mind as her.
Mu Qian didn't speak for a while, until Huo Jinxi suddenly picked her up from the sofa.
"Hey!" Mu Qian came back to her senses and still stared at him, "What are you doing?"
Huo Jinxi hugged her and walked directly upstairs. Mu Qian continued: "Huo Jinxi, I'm not in the mood tonight. Do you still want to be strong?"
Huo Jinxi was quiet for a moment, then slowly moved closer to her and said, "I don't have to force myself. I'll use whatever you say."
Mu Qian looked at him quietly. After a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed, her eyes full of slyness, "You said so."
Huo Jinxi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
In fact, Mu Qian had no intention of worrying about these things, but she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But now, since it was him who brought it to her door...she suddenly felt extremely excited.
…
That night, Mu Qian originally planned to sort out all the information on everyone in the Lu family, but when she encountered such a good thing as Huo Jinxi taking the initiative to show her kindness, she temporarily put aside that matter.
After a night of hard work, her skin was as rough as Huo Jinxi's and her flesh was as thick as Huo Jinxi's, and her wrists and ankles were bruised by the ropes she had carefully tied.
This was originally a very pleasant thing, but she was a little slow when untying him in the morning. Before she could escape to the door, he caught her back on the bed.
As a result, she became trapped in a cocoon and was tortured enough.
The direct consequence was that Huo Jinxi was late for work, and she slept until noon before getting up.
After eating something simple, Mu Qian walked into the study room and started sorting out the Lu family's information.
When she met everyone in the Lu family yesterday, except for Lu Yuchuan and Lu Tang, whom she already knew, only Lu Yuan left a deep impression on her, so when she came to sort out Lu Yuan, Mu Qian was particularly concerned.
However, just as she found Lu Yuan's school information, her phone suddenly rang.
Mu Qian answered the phone casually while looking at Lu Yuan's college experience on the computer.
"Is this Mrs. Huo?" A cold female voice that was already familiar to her came from the phone, "I am Lu Yuan."
