In the quiet bedroom, the two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Mu Qian turned around to leave.
"I'm going to help Qi Ran pack his things." Mu Qian said.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand to hold her, and said slowly: "There are some things I don't have a choice about."
Mu Qian's eyes moved slightly, and the next moment, she smiled slowly, "I know."
As early as when Ye Jinfan took action against him, she had already said that Huo Jinxi had weaknesses all over his body.
How could she not know about the people and things he cared about?
Huo Jinxi's heavy gaze fell on her face and he said nothing.
Mu Qian then raised her face to look at him again, "So, do you want to make any request to me?"
Her expression was always calm. When she said this, there was a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were serious.
After a long time, Huo Jinxi just shook his head slowly.
"You do what you want to do." Huo Jinxi said, "I...do what I should do."
Mu Qian didn't expect him to say that, and was stunned for a moment.
What she wants to do is reveal the truth;
And what he should do is to protect Cheng Manshu.
What he said meant that he would not stop her, but at the same time he would do his best to protect Cheng Manshu.
To a certain extent, they seem to be opposites, but what they want to do does not interfere with each other.
This was the best result that Mu Qian could expect, but she didn't expect that Huo Jinxi would think so.
After a while, Mu Qian spoke again: "Then will you hate me?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi slowly raised his hand and gently touched her face.
Mu Qian's mind was heavy and her eyes were glazed over, showing no emotion.
Huo Jinxi looked at her quietly for a moment, then stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.
"As long as you don't hate me."
He said.
Mu Qian listened, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly chuckled.
"This is nothing like what the Huo Jinxi I know said," she said.
Yes, Huo Jinxi, whom she had known since she came back to Tongcheng, was ruthless and vengeful. How could he be so humble as to say to her, "Just don't hate me."
Mu Qian was still stunned when Huo Jinxi suddenly called her again: "Qian Qian."
She rarely heard him call her that, and she couldn't help but want to turn around and look at him.
Huo Jinxi just pressed the back of her head, preventing her from turning her head.
"sorry."
Huo Jinxi said something in a low voice, then turned his head, kissed her temples gently, and stayed still for a long time.
Mu Qian leaned quietly in his arms and remained motionless for a long time.
…
Early the next morning, Mu Qian took Huo Qiran and boarded a plane to Philadelphia.
At the same time, Huo Jinxi was in the hospital ward, reading documents and having breakfast with Cheng Manshu who woke up.
Lin Shu cooked ginseng porridge from home and came to the hospital. She brought a bowl and a spoon to Cheng Manshu's mouth, but Cheng Manshu still looked dazed and did not open his mouth at all.
Huo Jinxi put down the documents in his hands and stood up, walked to the bedside, took the bowl from Lin Shu's hand, "I'll do it."
Lin Shu handed the bowl to him and couldn't help but feel a little hot when she saw Huo Jinxi sitting down by the bed, filling the porridge, blowing it to cool, and then bringing it to Cheng Manshu's mouth.
"Madam, you see how worried Jin Xi is about you... When has he ever done such a thing? It's not for you..." Lin Shu said, "You can ignore everything, but you can't let him down."
ah……"
But no matter what she said, Cheng Manshu would not open his mouth.
Huo Jinxi's patience was extremely good. Cheng Manshu didn't react anymore, and he didn't show any impatience at all.
Not long after, Qi Yuan knocked on the door and walked into the ward cautiously.
"Mr. Huo, Madam and Qi Ran have already taken off." Qi Yuan whispered, "We will arrive in Philadelphia at about nine o'clock tonight."
Huo Jinxi heard this and just responded lightly.
Lin Shu heard this from the side and couldn't help but frown, and looked at Huo Jinxi with some worry.
After Qi Yuan reported on the work he had just completed, he still did not leave. He just quietly watched Huo Jinxi feed Cheng Manshu and stood still for a moment without moving.
"I have something to say." Huo Jinxi said without looking back.
Qi Yuan paused, then stepped forward and said: "Mr. Kuang and Mr. Wen are dissatisfied with Huo's recent actions and are contacting other shareholders to prepare for a shareholders' meeting...Mr. Huo, can Ye Jinfan hold off for a while?"
Huo Jinxi listened and ignored him.
Qi Yuan naturally knew that this was Huo Jinxi's attitude and did not dare to say anything more. He just said: "I will do as Mr. Huo told me before."
He was about to leave the ward when he suddenly heard Huo Jinxi say: "Tell them, I will bear any consequences. In addition, we will consolidate all the project data of the Lu family and the Ye family in the past ten years, today."
Qi Yuan couldn't help being slightly startled after hearing this.
Huo Jinxi's previous dealings with the Lu family had only selected a few recent key projects of the Lu family to suppress, but now he actually wanted to go back ten years, which shows that he was really preparing to take a harsh blow.
Thinking of Mu Qian and Huo Qiran who had just been sent away by him, Qi Yuan sighed in his heart and hurriedly went to do things.
Seeing Qi Yuan leaving, Lin Shu looked at Huo Jinxi and said, "Mu——"
Probably because she was afraid of irritating Cheng Manshu, Lin Shu paused as soon as she opened her mouth, and then changed her words: "Why did she leave? What did she want to do?"
Huo Jinxi picked up the napkin, gently wiped the corners of Cheng Manshu's mouth, and said slowly: "She is... giving me a chance to breathe."
…
Mu Qian and Huo Qiran arrived in Philadelphia at 9 a.m. local time and stayed in the same house as at the beginning of the year.
Huo Qiran was very excited to return to his old place after half a year. After running up and down, he suddenly remembered something and ran to Mu Qian and took Mu Qian's hand.
Mu Qian glanced at him and chuckled: "Miss your dad?"
Huo Qiran nodded immediately.
For him, the last time he came here was with Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi, but this time without Huo Jinxi, he would inevitably feel that something was missing.
Mu Qian held her chin and looked at him, "But your father won't come over this time, so what should I do? You miss him so quickly, why don't I send you back?"
After hearing this, Huo Qiran immediately shook his head, threw himself into Mu Qian's arms, stretched out his hands and hugged Mu Qian's neck.
Mu Qian couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out her hand and touched his head, and then said: "Go call him."
After hearing this, Huo Qiran immediately stood up, took his tablet, and made a video call to Huo Jinxi.
It took almost only a few seconds for the video to be connected.
On the screen, Huo Jinxi was walking out of the ward. While closing the door, he looked at Huo Qiran and Mu Qian who only showed part of his body on the phone screen, "Are we here?"
He couldn't see Mu Qian, but Mu Qian could see him.
He was standing in the corridor of the ward, with the white light pouring down from his head, making his face slightly pale.
