Mu Qian took a nap, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she found that she was alone in the bed.
The light beside the bed was dimmed, and there was obviously no other person in the room.
Mu Qian touched her phone and looked at the time. It was already half past two in the morning.
At this time, is it possible that Huo Jinxi is busy with work again?
She lay there for a while, but when Huo Jinxi didn't come back, she finally put on her clothes and stood up.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door and walked out, Mu Qian saw her aunt walking into the corridor on the second floor, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand.
As expected, the lights were still on in Huo Jinxi's study.
When the aunt saw Mu Qian, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then she laughed, "What? Jin Xi is not around, so you can't sleep?"
Mu Qian just glanced at the bowl of noodles in her hand, "At this time, he asked you to cook noodles for him? Isn't this a torment?"
"No, no," the aunt said quickly, "I couldn't sleep. When I got up, I happened to see him busy at work. When I asked, I found out that he hadn't eaten anything at night. His stomach was not very good to begin with, so how could he mess around like this?
I went down and cooked a bowl of noodles for him."
After hearing this, Mu Qian softened her expression slightly.
The aunt then handed her the bowl of noodles, "Since you're up, I'll leave it to you. You, watch him finish eating, don't rely on your youth and not cherish your body."
Mu Qian took it, nodded, turned and walked towards Huo Jinxi's study.
As soon as he opened the door, Huo Jinxi was still working at his desk and did not look up when he heard the sound of the door opening.
Mu Qian stepped forward and placed the bowl of noodles in his hand.
Perhaps the atmosphere was wrong, or maybe the aura on her body was too familiar to him, so Huo Jinxi suddenly raised his head and glanced at her.
"Why are you awake?" Huo Jinxi asked.
Mu Qian didn't answer, just stepped forward and took a look at the documents in his hand.
"Are you really so busy?" she said. "Shouldn't these things have been done during the day?"
Huo Jinxi said calmly: "There are some other things that have delayed it."
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but look at him.
In Huo Jinxi's mind, public affairs always come first, and the only people who can affect his official affairs are the Huo family. Neither she nor Huo Qiran had any trouble, and there seemed to be no movement from Cheng Manshu's side——
Mu Qian vaguely realized that he was delayed by something.
But she neither said nor asked, she just glanced at the bowl of noodles in his hand and said, "I want to eat it too."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her, then put down the things in his hands, stood up, and walked out of the study.
After a while, he came back in with a small bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
The bowl of noodles was split into two. Mu Qian wanted to take away half of the soup, but only picked a few noodles, and gave the rest to Huo Jinxi.
In the early morning when everything was quiet, two people who had just experienced an intimate dispute sat huddled in the study room and shared a bowl of hot noodle soup.
Mu Qian slowly finished her few noodles and drank the soup while staring at Huo Jinxi.
"Auntie asked me to watch you finish eating so as not to waste her efforts," Mu Qian said.
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi said nothing and quietly ate the noodles in his bowl.
But maybe Mu Qian was too engrossed in watching him eat noodles, so he turned to look at her anyway, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Mu Qian paused, then slowly shook her head, "No."
"Really not?"
Mu Qian shrugged innocently, "No really, I'm just here to watch you eat noodles."
Huo Jinxi didn't say anything more, turned around and finished his bowl of noodles quietly.
Mu Qian then stood up and put away the dishes while saying: "By the way, I forgot to tell you just now, I met Ye Jinfan today... I think he won't give up on revenge so easily, so,
You have to be careful."
Huo Jinxi heard this and just responded lightly.
Mu Qian simply put away the dishes and was about to go downstairs when Huo Jinxi suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.
"What about Ye Xi?" Huo Jinxi finally asked.
Mu Qian shook her head calmly, "I don't care about her affairs."
"Even if she completely disappears from this world from now on?" Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment, and then continued: "I actually don't believe in fate. I only believe that everyone's path is chosen by themselves. As long as she is not coerced or murdered... I will not express any opinions on the path she chooses.
.”
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just squeezed her hand quietly and said nothing for a while.
She made her position clear and conveyed her bottom line to him.
Apart from this, there is not a single superfluous word.
Huo Jinxi knew that it wasn't that she didn't care, she just didn't want to care.
She put all the decision-making power in his hands because... did she finally begin to trust him completely?
Trust him to consider her, trust him to make the most appropriate decision for her, trust him never to do anything that touches her bottom line.
Huo Jinxi was deep in thought, but Mu Qian suddenly came forward and said, "So, what I'm concerned about now is whether you will accompany Qi Ran to the amusement park tomorrow?"
Huo Jinxi looked at the slightly curved corners of her mouth and simply said, "Would you be disappointed if I didn't go?"
"Do you want to go or not?" Mu Qian was too lazy to argue with him over and over again, so she picked up the empty bowl and walked out of the study.
Huo Jinxi watched her disappear outside the door. After a moment of silence, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
…
The next morning, Mu Qian woke up and she was still alone in the bed.
When she was pulled out of the room by an impatient Huo Qiran, she found that Huo Jinxi was nowhere to be found upstairs or downstairs.
It was obvious that this person had already left the house early in the morning.
Huo Qiran was a little disappointed and his eyelids drooped.
"Don't pout." Mu Qian stretched out two fingers to pinch his mouth, "If he doesn't go, we won't go. We can also have a good time as a family."
Mu Qian quickly packed up and led Huo Qiran out of the house with large and small bags.
Who knew that when I arrived at the amusement park, I saw a deserted scene at the entrance.
"It's over, it's over." Mu Qian quickly looked at Huo Qiran, "Did I remember it wrong? Could it be that today is not Saturday but Friday? Then didn't I take you to skip class?"
Huo Qiran's head was full of black lines and he handed his watch to Mu Qian to look at.
"It's Saturday." Mu Qian said, "It doesn't say it won't accept tourists. Why is there no one?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the manager of the amusement park suddenly came out and greeted Mu Qian very attentively, "Mrs. Huo, Master Huo, our amusement park is ready to receive you. You two can come in at any time."
Mu Qian couldn't help but look at Huo Qiran, "Isn't your dad so crazy? How terrifying would it be to have only the two of us in such a big amusement park?"
"No, no," the manager said quickly, "There are also Master Huo's classmates. Today our playground is only open to Master Huo and your classmates."
Huo Qiran's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
Mu Qian still sighed, her mind filled with the words "heartbroken and crazy".
Then she turned to look at the bodyguards following her, "Well, there are fewer people, so your work will be relatively easier... Hey, where is Wu Hao?"
"Madam, Huo has important clients visiting these days and needs close protection, so Wu Hao has been temporarily transferred there."
When Mu Qian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed uncontrollably.
