The bedroom was very quiet, only the small lamp beside the bed was on, and the dim light illuminated the side of Mu Qian's sleeping face.
Looking at the face with bright and dim lines outlined by the halo, Huo Jinxi was in a trance for a moment——
Because he couldn't remember exactly how long it had been since he saw Mu Qian's sleeping face.
Huo Jinxi walked forward slowly and sat down by the bed.
As soon as he sat down, Mu Qian on the bed seemed to feel something, and suddenly moved and opened his eyes.
The moment she saw him, her eyes were still a little blurry. The person behind her gradually woke up, but still stayed on the bed and said lazily: "It's you..."
Her tone was lazy, and there was nothing good or bad about it at first, but Huo Jinxi had been a little moody recently, so he couldn't help but ask, "Am I the one who's disappointed?"
Mu Qian glared at him in confusion, and then said: "I've already guessed why I'm so disappointed."
"Guessed what?"
"Your son," Mu Qian said, "has been acting strangely and suspiciously these past two days. I knew he must have some evil intentions in mind!"
Huo Jinxi listened and said slowly: "Then you won't stop him?"
"How can I have the strength?" Mu Qian got under the quilt, sighed and said, "Huo Jinxi, do you know that it is very tiring to guard a child 24 hours a day. I thought I
I have enough energy, but compared with him, I feel that I am really old and can't beat him..."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes again, as if she could fall asleep again at any time.
Huo Jinxi sat beside the bed and looked at her quietly for a long time.
After a long time, Mu Qian didn't open her eyes, as if she really fell asleep again.
Huo Jinxi sat for a while longer, stretched out his hand to smooth her hair on the pillow, and then stood up and prepared to go out.
However, the moment he stood up, Mu Qian suddenly opened his eyes again.
"Are you leaving?" Mu Qian asked.
Huo Jinxi paused, but did not look back at her. He just said, "What else?"
Mu Qian stared at his back for a while, then suddenly laughed, "You don't want the opportunity your son has worked so hard to create for you?"
Huo Jinxi suddenly looked back at her, his eyes deep and dark.
"Aren't you tired?" He said in a deep voice.
Mu Qian shrank half of her face into the quilt, and sighed softly when she heard this: "When will it matter whether I am tired or not? Who cares about my life and death?"
She rolled her eyes and complained, but the meaning behind her words was extremely ambiguous.
It's not that Huo Jinxi doesn't understand, let alone Liu Xiahui.
He raised his hand, first loosened his tie, and then unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt. Then, he turned around and picked up Mu Qian from the bed.
After leaving Huo Qiran's house and returning to his own room, the door was closed with a bang, blocking out all sounds.
…
Mu Qian could no longer count how many early mornings this was.
In view of their work schedules, most of the time, the two of them meet late at night and happily discuss the art of applause until the early morning.
And if someone is still not satisfied, then this early morning will be long.
But most of the time she met someone who was insatiable.
Especially tonight.
It's different after all.
After learning about Huo Qiran's life experience, some things were different after all.
They were his and hers' flesh and blood, and his blood was flowing through them, as well as hers.
Even at that time, this child was not the fruit of love, but after all, it was a witness to the past between him and her.
Although the past was not pleasant, this testimony is very important.
Huo Qiran's existence is very important.
This realization made Huo Jinxi lose control.
However, Mu Qian was very obedient and cooperative, which directly caused him to lose control again and again.
I don't know how long it took before everything finally ended, but the soft fragrance on Mu Qian's body still made Huo Jinxi unable to let go.
Mu Qian lay obediently in his arms, lazily not wanting to move.
Both of them were quiet, but neither fell asleep.
After a while, Huo Jinxi spoke again: "The origin of Xiaoxiao has been found."
Mu Qian suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him.
"She was born out of wedlock to a young man and woman in Philadelphia's Chinatown. She was originally disliked by both parties, but was later bought by Ye Jinfan with money -"
This truth is nothing new, but extremely cruel.
Mu Qian has seen many dangers in the world, but the only thing she can't accept is the abandonment between parents and children.
How can the love of flesh and blood be easily separated, let alone selling one's own children for money——
"Xiaoxiao..." She murmured in a low voice, finally choked up and whispered, "It's because I didn't take good care of her."
Huo Jinxi slowly lowered his head and gently kissed the tip of her red nose.
"She is happy." Huo Jinxi said, "That's enough."
Mu Qian was silent for a long time, nodded, and then looked at him again: "How are you going to deal with Ye Jinfan?"
Since Huo Qiran's life experience was exposed, the two of them had hardly had the opportunity to be alone together. Mu Qian was focused on Huo Qiran and didn't want to be distracted by other things, so she didn't pay too much attention to his activities during this period.
Even so, she still knew that Ye was in insolvency, and Huo, as Ye's largest creditor, had applied to the court for bankruptcy liquidation of Ye.
This was Huo Jinxi's method to deal with Ye. However, Mu Qian did not believe that he would let Ye Jinfan go.
There were some things that Huo Jinxi originally didn't intend to let her know, but now that she asked about them, Huo Jinxi still answered her.
"Treat others in their own way." Huo Jinxi said with a heavy look.
When Mu Qian heard this, she suddenly noticed something. After taking a look at Huo Jinxi, she didn't ask any more questions. She just responded lightly, closed her eyes, buried herself in his arms and fell asleep.
…
The court issued a bankruptcy ruling for Ye's family very quickly. With Huo's largest creditor taking the lead, it rejected any possibility of reconciliation and reorganization and quickly entered the bankruptcy liquidation stage for Ye's family.
Ye Jinfan did not make any move to resist throughout the whole process.
Huo's attempt to destroy Ye's family was like squeezing an ant to death.
Ye Jinfan clearly knew that in such a situation, all his resistance would be in vain and might even anger Huo Jinxi again.
Who Huo Jinxi is has never been a secret.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess how dangerous Huo Jinxi is at this moment.
Ye Jinfan lived in seclusion and avoided almost all possible conflicts with Huo Jinxi.
But even so, when he returned to the apartment one day, Ye Xi was still missing.
