Looking at the surprised woman in front of him, Huo Jinxi nodded lightly, "Hello."
The little girl's mother came back to her senses and smiled quickly: "Hey, this...is Mr. Huo, right? I'm from the yard next door. I made some pancakes this morning and sent some to Qi Ran and Qi Ran's mother.
.”
While she was saying this, Mu Qian came out from behind Huo Jinxi and took the things in her hand with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Su."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mrs. Su replied while looking at Huo Jinxi, "It's been a long time since you moved here, but today you are meeting Mr. Huo!"
Mu Qian looked back and responded with a faint smile: "That's right, he's too busy."
"It's better to be busy." Mrs. Su said, "Mr. Huo seems to be a person who does big things, so he must be busy!"
Mu Qian still had a lot of things to pack and had no time to greet her. He just said, "Thank you for the pancakes. I will take Qi Ran to your house later."
"Okay, okay, you eat slowly." Mrs. Su said, turned and left.
Just after taking a few steps, she suddenly couldn't help but look back.
Mu Qian had already entered the house with pancakes. Huo Jinxi looked outside inadvertently and met her eyes again.
Mrs. Su smiled quickly and left in a hurry.
Huo Jinxi withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian grabbed a piece of pancake and put it in her mouth. She raised her head to meet his gaze and suddenly smiled, "What's wrong?"
Huo Jinxi gestured in the direction where Mrs. Su left.
"Hey, you threw me and Qi Ran here and didn't show up. Of course the neighbors here thought Qi Ran and I were special!" Mu Qian replied nonchalantly, "I've heard several versions myself.
, but what everyone believes the most is that I am the mistress you kept outside. As for Qi Ran, some say she was born by me, and some say she was born by you. In short, the plot of the story is exciting!"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly, "Then you still like it here?"
"You don't understand this." Mu Qian said, "Gossip is also a part of this kind of life. Without this part, it will lack the flavor!"
Huo Jinxi didn't ask any more questions, and turned around and ordered people to go to the shopping mall outside to purchase gifts.
After buying the gifts, Mu Qian's luggage was almost packed, and she was about to take Huo Qiran to go door to door to say goodbye, but she saw Huo Jinxi had changed his clothes, and while adjusting his shirt collar, he said, "I'll go with you."
Mu Qian glanced at him and did not refuse.
Among the several courtyards in this alley, only Lao Wang and his wife had seen Huo Jinxi. To others, he was a legendary figure. Naturally, everyone was curious when he appeared. Therefore, Huo Jinxi's
Everywhere I go, everyone is very welcoming.
Huo Jinxi was as cold and calm as ever. Although he was polite, he was also distant and distant.
But this sense of alienation completely disappeared when facing Mu Qian——
Mu Qian introduced him to a neighbor, and he obediently extended his hand to shake;
Mu Qian asked him to take the gift, and he took the gift obediently;
He even met some neighbors who needed to change light bulbs and repair water pipes. Mu Qian asked him to help, so he rolled up his sleeves and helped.
After walking around, everyone got to know Huo Jinxi, and they obviously had a new understanding of the relationship between the two.
But Huo Jinxi was obviously not satisfied with this.
When he and Mu Qian returned to the house, a pile of red candies suddenly appeared in the house, along with some red gift boxes containing the candies. On the gift boxes, there was an exquisite and eye-catching Homu Marriage print!
Soon these candies were packed into gift boxes, and everyone in the alley, and even people passing by in the alley, had a box in their hands.
The people under him, while handing out gift boxes, also explained to others: "Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo held a wedding earlier. They didn't know you at that time, but they also hope that everyone can share the joy."
After making this solemn statement, Mu Qian's identity as Mrs. Huo was finally confirmed and justified.
When the family of three was preparing to leave, people from every yard came to see them off.
Mu Qian knew that most people were still coming for Huo Jinxi, so she took the initiative to give up the C position and prepared for Huo Jinxi to make a shining debut.
Unexpectedly, this C position was snatched away by Huo Qiran——
When he said goodbye to his little friends, a group of little guys chatted non-stop, especially the three little girls, who were holding Huo Qiran's hand with tears in their eyes and looking reluctant to leave, which was totally stealing the show.
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi, "It's a good thing he can't speak yet. If he could speak, he might be able to attract bees and butterflies. What a good son you gave birth to!"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just replied lightly: "He was not like this when he followed me."
Mu Qian: "..."
…
The plane back to Tongcheng took off at noon, which was the time for Huo Qiran to take a nap. Mu Qian only slept for a short time last night, so she took Huo Qiran to sleep in the suite.
When I woke up again, the plane had already started to descend.
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Qiran who was still sleeping soundly, got up and walked out.
In the cabin, Qi Yuan and several other accompanying people were sitting quietly in the back row, while Huo Jinxi was sitting alone in the front, flipping through documents carefully.
As soon as Mu Qian walked over, Huo Jinxi noticed it. After looking up at her, he pulled her to sit in his arms.
The next few people consciously looked at their eyes, nose and heart, pretending they didn't see it.
"Are you asleep?" Huo Jinxi glanced at her confused eyes and asked.
"Of course." Mu Qian said, "As long as I want to sleep, there will be no time when I can't fall asleep."
Huo Jinxi put down the documents in his hand and stretched out his hand to tidy up her hair.
Her condition was much better than he imagined, she was awake enough, calm enough, and rational enough.
While Mu Qian leaned on him and quietly looked at the clouds outside the window, Qi Yuan answered a satellite phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yuan walked up to Huo Jinxi and whispered: "Mr. Huo, I just got the news that Lu has contacted the official department privately and is willing to give 30% of the profits to take over this infrastructure project. Both parties
The intention to cooperate has basically been finalized.”
Before Huo Jinxi could say anything, Mu Qian had already asked: "With so much profit, is there still money to be made?"
Qi Yuan shrugged.
Mu Qian suddenly turned to look at Huo Jinxi, "Did he deliberately do these little tricks while you were away?"
"It doesn't matter," Huo Jinxi said, "If he wants it, just take it."
Qi Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it and turned back to his seat.
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment and then said again: "Huo Jinxi, no wonder you don't trust people so much now. This human heart... is really unfathomable."
