The moment he heard Mu Qian call out "Dad", Lu Yuchuan was stunned, as if he hadn't come back to his senses.
"Dad." Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly called him in a low voice.
Lu Yuchuan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Mu Qian again, his eyes pleading for confirmation on Mu Qian's face, as if he was just waiting for her to shout again.
Mu Qian met his gaze, but suddenly turned away, as if she wanted to step down from the stage.
However, when she turned around, she found that Lu Yuan was still holding her hand and never let go.
"What are you doing?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask. When she raised her eyes, she met Lu Yuchuan's expectant eyes.
This time, she seemed to have no way to avoid it, but she still just stood quietly, as if she had no intention of shouting again.
However, Lu Yuchuan seemed to have calmed down. After standing quietly for a moment, he took two steps forward, stretched out his hand in front of everyone in the audience, and hugged Lu Yuan and Mu Qian into his arms at the same time.
Seeing this, everyone in the audience was startled at first. The next moment, someone took the lead in applauding, and then the whole audience applauded for a long time.
Mu Qian leaned quietly on Lu Yuchuan's shoulder. She didn't know how to react at the moment, so she couldn't help but turn around and look for Huo Jinxi.
Unexpectedly, she saw Ye Jinfan before Huo Jinxi saw him.
Ye Jinfan stood quietly among the crowd, his eyebrows were deep, his lips were smiling, and he clapped to the rhythm of the crowd. However, in Mu Qian's eyes, his appearance was so hypocritical.
But in terms of hypocrisy, Mu Qian really has never been afraid of anyone.
Thinking of this, Mu Qianyi's legs suddenly became weak.
Lu Yuchuan, who was holding her gently with one hand, immediately noticed her movement and stretched out his hand to protect her, "Are you okay?"
Lu Yuan also quickly supported Mu Qian, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable after standing for a long time?"
"It's okay..." Mu Qian pressed her forehead, "Maybe there are too many people and there is a lack of oxygen."
Her excuse was really lame. After all, this was a reception organized by Lu Yuchuan himself. No matter how many guests there were, the venue was spacious enough. How could there be a lack of oxygen?
However, when she said this, Lu Yuchuan took it seriously and carefully supported her, "Would you like daddy to accompany you out to get some fresh air?"
"No need." Mu Qian said, "You are the host and there are so many guests to greet. Huo Jinxi can just accompany me."
While talking, Lu Yuchuan had already helped Mu Qian to the edge of the stage, and Huo Jinxi was already standing there, looking at Mu Qian with a slight frown.
Mu Qian curled her lips and avoided Huo Jinxi's eyes.
Lu Yuchuan handed Mu Qian into Huo Jinxi's hands, and then warned: "Jin Xi, go out with Qianqian to get some fresh air. If you feel really uncomfortable, go back and rest first. There is no need to stay until the end."
Huo Jinxi nodded, took Mu Qian's hand, and gently buttoned it on her waist. He noticed Mu Qian's body reaction and felt slightly relieved.
Doesn't it look like something is wrong with her in this state? What she did on stage just now was indeed just an act.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes to look at Mu Qian, but saw Mu Qian looking away. He followed her line of sight and saw Ye Jinfan.
Looking at this scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, Ye Jinfan was still smiling, as if like everyone else, he sincerely and sincerely witnessed the deep love between father and daughter.
It's just that everyone knows how sincere and sincere this is.
Huo Jinxi glanced at him solemnly, then quickly looked away, only looking at Mu Qian intently, "How do you feel?"
"It's okay!" The play was over, and Mu Qian immediately showed her ability to adapt, "I'm so strong, how could anything happen? It'll be fine if I do a few somersaults on the spot!"
Hearing her words, Huo Jinxi's face became darker.
Huo Jinnan walked up from the side and laughed out loud when he heard this, "Can you turn over two and show them to me?"
Mu Qian glanced at him and said, "If I listen to you, you will be dead, do you believe it?"
Huo Jinnan smiled and said, "I bet you won't let me die."
Mu Qian couldn't help but grit her teeth, but when she saw him reaching out to Lu Yuan again, she couldn't help but said, "Hey, why are you still pestering our Yuan Yuan?"
"Yuan Yuan and I made an appointment to go outside to watch the stars and the moon together, and talk about poetry and philosophy of life." Huo Jinnan said, "You want to take care of this? Go home and raise your baby!"
"You-" Mu Qian was so speechless by him that she could only watch as he took Lu Yuan away.
By the time she came to her senses, Huo Jinnan had already led Lu Yuan to who knows where.
"What's going on?" Mu Qian couldn't help but look at Huo Jinxi, "Why is he pestering Yuanyuan? He's not that-"
When the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered something, and turned around to look for Song Siyao again.
After searching carefully, she discovered that Song Siyao was standing not far away, slightly sideways facing them, quietly listening to the speeches of several business seniors in front of him, and she didn't know if he had seen the previous ones.
situation.
Mu Qian couldn't help but pull Huo Jinxi, "Let's go talk to your junior brother again."
"Yes." Huo Jinxi said, "But not today."
"Why?"
"You have to go home and rest." Huo Jinxi said, holding her hand and walking out.
"Huo Jinxi, I told you I'm fine!" Mu Qian tried to resist as she walked away, but she couldn't be too presumptuous in such a large public place. However, Huo Jinxi didn't care about the opinions of others and pulled her away without any scruples. Therefore,
Mu Qian had no ability to resist.
Mu Qian only felt that she had been wronged. As soon as she got in the car, she lay down on the back seat, looking aggrieved, without saying a word to Huo Jinxi.
However, Huo Jinxi didn't care about her and sat quietly watching the tablet as if nothing happened.
Mu Qian waited for a while and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up and pulled the tablet from Huo Jinxi's hand, glaring at him angrily.
The two stared at each other in silence for a moment, but Huo Jinxi still didn't speak. Mu Qian finally spoke first: "Huo Jinxi, do you think you have a clear conscience for treating me like this? You think now that I have married you, and you don't recognize me."
I’m pregnant with Qi Ran, and I can’t live without you no matter what, so you bully me so unscrupulously, right? You really think I’m easy to bully!”
Huo Jinxi listened to her quietly and then asked calmly, "What's wrong with me?"
Mu Qian stared at him for a while, then sighed quietly, and finally said quietly: "After this pregnancy, I feel that we are not suitable to live together, and we will have to separate sooner or later. This is how easy it is to fall in love.
The days of being in trouble and having to live with daily necessities are really torturous. Sometimes it is better to forget each other than to stay together."
"Are you sure we want to forget each other?" Huo Jinxi said, "Don't you want to know about Song Siyao and Huo Jinnan?"
"Huh?" Mu Qian's expression suddenly changed, and she burst out laughing, "Then let's wait until we forget about each other, how about you talk to them first?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi glanced at her and said calmly: "I really don't have anything to say about them. I only know that all the people who have appeared around Huo Jinnan over the years are women."
Mu Qian immediately took the initiative to get into his arms, leaned against him, and continued to ask: "Woman? Does that mean Song Siyao is unilaterally in love with him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of another possibility, "Or maybe Huo Jinnan didn't want to admit his feelings for Song Siyao, so he deliberately used women to numb and disguise himself?"
Huo Jinxi propped his head quietly and was noncommittal after hearing her analysis.
Mu Qian rubbed his heart again, "Then what disputes did the two of them have in the past?"
"Do you still remember how his life experience was exposed?" Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian nodded immediately and said, "Your mother went to school and met your father to meet Huo Jinnan's teacher——"
"What do you think would happen if someone like my dad went to school to meet the teacher in person?"
Mu Qian suddenly opened her eyes wide, "What happened between the two of them and the teacher knew about it?"
Huo Jinxi nodded and said slowly: "They kissed each other in the basketball gym."
