After being quiet for a long time, Mu Qian finally gently withdrew his hand, without saying anything, just saying: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. Qi Ran finally fell asleep, don't wake him up."
He got it."
After saying this, Mu Qian slowly closed her eyes.
Huo Jinxi was still sitting by the bed and looked at Mu Qian and Huo Qiran quietly for a long time before finally getting up and leaving the bedroom.
When he returned to his bedroom, Huo Jinxi did not prepare to wash up and go to bed. He just loosened the collar of his shirt, sat in the chair by the window, and lit a cigarette for himself.
On this day, not only was Huo Qiran frightened by Cheng Manshu, Cheng Manshu was also emotionally disturbed because of seeing Mu Qian and Huo Qiran.
Cheng Manshu's mood has been unstable for a long time, especially after swallowing pills and cutting her wrists twice, her mood has become extremely fragile.
Naturally, Cheng Manshu's friends knew about her situation, especially because of Huo Jinxi's request, they would often meet to accompany her and help her relax.
Cheng Manshu had been depressed in her marriage to Huo Bainian for a long time. Apart from Huo Jinxi, the company of friends could also relieve her.
But no one thought that she would meet Mu Qian and Huo Qiran today.
For Cheng Manshu, Mu Qian's existence reminded her of Rong Qingzi, the woman she had hated for half her life.
No matter how many women there were outside Huo Bainian, none of them could match the status of Rong Qingzi in his heart. He had been thinking about Rong Qingzi his whole life, and until Rong Qingzi died for Mu Huaian, he never got her.
Because of this, Rong Qingzi has an eternal status in Huo Bainian's heart.
Even though Mu Qian is not Rong Qingzi's biological daughter, her existence reminds Cheng Manshu again and again what kind of existence Rong Qingzi is.
Such a Mu Qian was enough to disturb her mood, let alone Huo Qiran.
Cheng Manshu had never liked Huo Qiran. Even if Huo Qiran was Huo Jinxi's biological son and her biological grandson, she still couldn't like him.
There was no other reason. The unknown origin of Huo Qiran made her think only of Huo Bainian's illegitimate children raised outside——
Their origins are unknown, but they all bear the identity of the Huo family's sons, and each one lives more comfortably than the last.
Even if Huo Jinxi is the only legitimate heir to the Huo family, the existence of Huo Jinnan and Huo Jinbei is still a thorn in her heart.
These two thorns pierced deeply into the flesh, and the pain was no less than the pain caused by Rong Qingzi.
Most of the time, she tried to convince herself to forget, but when she saw Mu Qian and Huo Qiran, everything came back to her thoughts, like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, unable to calm down.
When Mu Qian took Huo Qiran to the bathroom, Cheng Manshu's friend also pulled her away at the right time, otherwise, there would be no idea what kind of commotion was going to happen.
Even so, Cheng Manshu lost control after leaving.
When Huo Jinxi got the news and returned to the mansion, Cheng Manshu's room was already in a mess again. If someone at home hadn't been watching, the situation would have been worse.
It is precisely because of this that Huo Jinxi finally returned home after staying in the mansion until this point.
Huo Qiran still had Mu Qian to accompany him, but Cheng Manshu only had him.
For Huo Jinxi, this was a helpless thing, but he also knew clearly that things could not continue like this.
The cigarette in his hand slowly burned out. Huo Jinxi wiped out the cigarette butt and dialed Huo Jinbei's number.
In the early hours of the morning, Huo Jinbei's voice was particularly sober when he answered the phone, "What's the matter?"
"There is a psychologist named Zhou Yan. Is he your senior brother?" Huo Jinxi said, "I hope you can contact him for me."
Zhou Yan, a famous psychologist, has been employed by the government for the past two years and has almost stopped providing private consultations.
Despite this, Huo Jinbei didn't say much and only answered with one word: "Okay."
Huo Jinxi hung up the phone, but couldn't help but light up another cigarette.
Over the years, Cheng Manshu has seen many psychological experts, but because she is extremely resistant to them, nothing has been achieved so far.
Huo Jinxi has a complete list of authoritative psychological experts, and he only hopes that Zhou Yan will be the last one.
…
The next morning, Huo Qiran woke up at the usual time, opened his eyes drowsily, and met Mu Qian's concerned eyes.
Mu Qian touched his little face and whispered: "Are you tired? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want to continue sleeping?"
Huo Qiran had just woken up and seemed confused for a moment before coming back to his senses. After shaking his head, he leaned into Mu Qian's arms.
As soon as Mu Qian took him into her arms, the door was opened, and then Huo Jinxi walked in.
Mu Qian did not look back. Huo Qiran raised his eyes and after seeing Huo Jinxi, his eyes quietly stayed on Huo Jinxi.
Huo Jinxi stepped forward, stretched out his hand and picked him up from the bed, "How are you feeling today?"
When Huo Qiran heard this, he immediately rubbed his face and looked energetic.
Huo Jinxi laughed lightly, and then whispered: "Did you see grandma yesterday?"
Huo Qiran paused for a moment, then nodded cautiously.
"Grandma didn't say anything to you, right?" Huo Jinxi said, "And she didn't scare you on purpose, right?"
Huo Qiran thought for a while and nodded again.
"So, grandma is just a little surprised since she hasn't seen you for a long time." Huo Jinxi said, "There's no need to be afraid, right?"
Huo Qiran puffed up his cheeks, probably thinking that what Huo Jinxi said made sense. After nodding again, he regained his true spirit.
Huo Jinxi then put him down and said, "Go wash your face."
Huo Qiran obeyed and walked into the bathroom obediently.
Seeing that Huo Qiran seemed to have really forgotten the impact of yesterday's incident, Mu Qian relaxed slightly and lifted up the quilt and got out of bed.
Huo Jinxi turned to look at her, paused for a moment and then said: "My mother, I will find a way to solve it, don't worry."
Mu Qian lowered her head to put on her shoes and did not answer.
"Qi Yuan is arranging a trip to Northern Europe. If you have any requirements, tell him yourself," Huo Jinxi said again.
After hearing this, Mu Qian slowly raised her eyes to look at him, "Isn't your mother uncomfortable? Don't you need to accompany her?"
"I promised Qi Ran first," Huo Jinxi said, "I won't let him down."
"Qi Ran is a very sensible child." Mu Qian said, "He will not mess with you just because of your promise. If he can't go, he will be disappointed at most, and it will be over soon."
"I said -" Huo Jinxi repeated word for word, "I will not let Qi Ran down."
Mu Qian raised her eyes and met his heavy gaze. After a long time, she curled her lips slightly and said, "This is your own decision. Don't put the responsibility on me when the time comes. I'm not someone who forces people to abandon their mother."
Vicious wife."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi bent down, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.
