Hearing Huo Jinxi's words, Mu Qian's hand on his arm stiffened involuntarily.
In the past, this kind of situation between the two of them was normal, but after more than a month, it seemed that it suddenly became a little unnatural.
This feeling is probably not only felt by her, but also by Huo Jinxi.
Mu Qian lowered her eyes and said nothing, and Huo Jinxi lowered his head to look at her, waiting for her answer.
Mu Qian paused for a while, then finally raised her eyes to look at him, "Don't you need to go back to the mansion today?"
"No need," he said.
Mu Qian looked at him quietly for a moment, and her eyes suddenly fell on his hair.
Although it was already midnight, his hair was fresh and neat, with well-defined roots, and there was also a vague aroma of ancient medicine that he was not very familiar with.
There was a sudden movement in her heart.
"Did you get a haircut today?" she asked in a low voice.
"Um."
Mu Qian bit her lip gently, tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "Because I'm back?"
"..." After a moment of silence, Huo Jinxi still responded, "Yeah."
Mu Qian lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then said, "Are you happy that I'm back?"
This time, Huo Jinxi did not answer.
Mu Qian lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on his face. She couldn't hear his response for a long time, and finally raised her head to look at him.
Who knew that as soon as she raised her head, Huo Jinxi lowered her head and kissed her.
It was very gentle at first, just tossing and turning.
Mu Qian was successfully seduced by this gentleness and couldn't help but respond to him.
As soon as she responded, everything suddenly came like a sudden storm.
Huo Jinxi pushed her into his arms, turned around and pressed her against the wall. His hot kiss was mixed with heavy breathing, which made it difficult to control her breathing.
Everything was an unbearable weight for her.
Mu Qian was a little stiff at first, but in the end, she was gradually infected by the warmth of his body and melted into one with him without any scruples.
…
When it ended, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. Huo Jinxi held her in his arms and lay in the single bathtub in the bathroom.
Mu Qian seemed to have lost her bones. She had no strength at all in her body. She lay softly in his arms, not even bothering to lift her arms.
Huo Jinxi still circled her, kissed her, and refused to let go easily.
Mu Qianlai rested in his arms for a long time before she finally recovered. She raised her eyes to look at him and said, "How long have you endured this? Do you deserve to be so cruel?"
Huo Jinxi put one hand on the edge of the bathtub and held her slender waist with the other. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her again.
Mu Qian raised her hand to cover his lips, and then said, "I have something to tell you."
Hearing these words, Huo Jinxi's eyes flashed faintly.
Mu Qian could see it clearly.
She thought that Huo Jinxi probably thought she wanted to tell him about Cheng Manshu.
The next moment, Huo Jinxi stood up from the bathtub, took a bath towel, wrapped Mu Qian in it, and carried her to the bed.
While Mu Qian was rolling around on the bed, Huo Jinxi casually wrapped himself in a nightgown and sat on the bed. Then he said, "Tell me."
He looked like he was going to talk to her about something serious.
Mu Qian then wrapped herself in a bathrobe, sat cross-legged, and looked at him seriously, "Next, I will spend at least a week checking some things."
Huo Jinxi's eyes were filled with emotion as he waited for her to continue.
"So, within this week, I don't want a driver or a bodyguard, and you'd better not make any time demands on me." Mu Qian said, "In short, this week, I want absolute freedom."
What she said was obviously different from what Huo Jinxi had imagined, because after hearing it, Huo Jinxi asked, "That's it?"
Hearing his tone, Mu Qian seemed to be interested, so she raised her eyebrows and nodded, "That's it."
"What are you looking for?"
Mu Qian paused and then said: "There is a woman next to Ye Jinfan, and I want to find out the identity of this woman. Before completing this matter, I have no intention of doing anything else."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi calmly uttered two words: "No."
Mu Qian almost jumped up from the bed, "Why not?"
"It won't work without bodyguards," Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian looked at him for a moment and decided to give in, "Okay, then they can still follow me, but I have to drive by myself."
"You can drive by yourself," Huo Jinxi said, "but Wu Hao must be in your car."
Mu Qian really couldn't help but slap her on the bed this time, "I'm driving for errands, and I have to carry him in the car, so don't I become his driver?"
Huo Jinxi leaned on the bedside and said slowly: "Then you can also let him drive."
Mu Qian suddenly gritted her teeth and glared at him.
Huo Jinxi just pretended not to see him and said slowly: "No matter what, Wu Hao must be in your car."
After a while, Mu Qian's attitude softened, "Okay, if he wants to follow the car, he can follow the car, but he can't interfere with any of my decisions."
"Even if he has the power, does he have the ability?" Huo Jinxi asked pointedly.
Mu Qian ran into Huo Jinxi's arms, "What do you mean?"
Huo Jinxi was a little hurt when she hit her ribs, but the next moment, he reached out his hand and hugged Mu Qian into his arms.
This movement was so soft that Mu Qian didn't move for a while, but just leaned against him quietly.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand, gently supported her back, and said in a deep voice: "No one can stop what you want to do, including me, right?"
After Mu Qian listened to his words quietly, she remained silent for a long time. After all, she didn't say anything. She just reached out and pulled the quilt over herself, and muttered two words: "Sleep!"
However, I still couldn't sleep in the end.
As soon as she lay down, Huo Jinxi also touched her body under the quilt.
Not long after, the bath towel she was wrapped in was thrown out of bed.
Later, Huo Jinxi's nightgown was also thrown out of bed.
Mu Qian felt that Huo Jinxi did it on purpose.
He deliberately tormented her like this, making her so exhausted that she couldn't get up the next day and couldn't drive by herself to check what she wanted to check.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start to compete with Huo Jinxi.
