Mu Qian really didn't know that Rong Heng was still here.
In the afternoon, Rong Heng took the USB flash drive and discussed something with Huo Jinxi. Seeing that it was time for dinner, he stayed for dinner.
Mu Qian knew that he must be in a bad mood at the moment and didn't like her very much, so she rarely provoked him and went upstairs after eating.
Rong Heng was obviously in a bad mood at the dinner table. Mu Qian originally thought that he would leave after eating, but she didn't expect that he was still in Huo Jinxi's study.
At this moment, Rong Heng was staring at the mobile phone in Mu Qian's hand, his thin lips pursed slightly.
Mu Qian was about to say something when Huo Qiran opened the door behind her and said happily: "Has Aunt Yuanyuan's phone finally gone through?"
Mu Qian looked at Huo Qiran, then at Rong Heng, who looked tense, and finally nodded, "Yes, I understand."
After saying that, she handed the phone in her hand to Huo Qiran.
Huo Qiran took the phone, put it to her ear, and immediately shouted happily: "Aunt Yuanyuan!"
Not sure what Lu Yuan said on the other end of the phone, Huo Qiran burst out laughing.
Mu Qian leaned against the door frame and watched Huo Qiran making a phone call. At the same time, the corner of her eye never left Rong Heng for a moment.
From beginning to end, Rong Heng's eyes stayed wherever the phone was.
Mu Qian finally couldn't help turning her head to look at him, and then sighed slightly.
This was the first time she saw such a childish look on Rong Heng's face, a look of eagerness, as if a child was anxious and aggrieved when he saw the candy in front of him but couldn't reach it.
Even Mu Qian couldn't bear to see it.
Huo Qiran seemed to be aware of Rong Heng's burning gaze, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Heng, what's wrong?"
This sound seemed to suddenly break the deadlock, and finally brought Rong Heng back to his senses.
When Huo Qiran spoke, he did not cover his cell phone deliberately. In other words, the person on the other end of the phone must have heard it.
I wonder if she knows he is on the other end of the phone, would she have anything to say to him?
Rong Heng still stared at the phone in Huo Qiran's hand, as if he wanted to clearly see the person on the other end of the phone through the phone.
Then, he saw Huo Qiran's listening expression, as if the person on the other end of the phone had indeed spoken.
Rong Heng's eyes suddenly focused.
Then, I heard Huo Qiran say: "Yes, Uncle Heng came to play and had dinner with us."
Rong Heng's body moved uncontrollably, and he was almost about to step forward and snatch the phone from Huo Qiran's hand, but he heard Huo Qiran say: "A gift? Aunt Yuanyuan, I will be happy no matter what you give me!"
Rong Heng suddenly froze.
Obviously, after Huo Qiran mentioned him, Lu Yuan quickly changed the topic.
She is really... unusually rational and calm.
Rong Heng couldn't help but clenched one of his hands into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
Mu Qian was frightened by his actions. She quickly walked to Rong Heng, lowered her voice and said, "Don't be impulsive. No matter what, my son is innocent."
Rong Heng's eyes still fell on Huo Qiran.
Huo Qiran finally noticed something unusual again and looked at Rong Heng with a confused expression: "?"
Rong Heng stood frozen for a long time, and finally spoke in a hoarse voice, his voice almost condensed, "It's nothing, ask your aunt for me."
After saying this, he suddenly turned around, walked to the stairs without looking back, walked downstairs quickly, and left.
Before Huo Qiran came back to her senses, the other person had disappeared. After a while, Huo Qiran said to the phone again: "Aunt Yuanyuan, Uncle Heng said hello to you."
"Yes." Lu Yuan responded softly and said, "I received it."
As a bystander, Mu Qian saw this situation. After being silent for a long time, he didn't know whether to let out the breath that was stuck in his heart.
…
After Rong Heng left the Huo family, he originally wanted to return to his work.
However, he drove absentmindedly all the way, and when the car stopped, he found that he was downstairs of Lu Yuan's studio.
At this moment, the lights were actually on in Lu Yuan's studio!
Rong Heng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't even have time to turn off the car, so he jumped out of the car and went upstairs with three steps at a time.
He walked to the door and knocked on the door without stopping.
About ten seconds later, the door finally opened, but what emerged from the crack in the door was a round, unfamiliar face, looking at him with vigilance, "Who are you looking for?"
Rong Heng suddenly felt a lump in his throat. After a moment, he finally said, "I'm looking for Lu Yuan."
"Oh, Miss Lu is not here." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door completely, "She went to Thailand."
"What are you going to do?" Rong Heng couldn't help but ask.
"Collecting style."
"When are you coming back?"
"Not sure." The assistant looked at him, "Who are you? What's wrong?"
Rong Heng paused again.
Who is he? What's wrong with him?
He didn't know who he was in Lu Yuan's mind, and he didn't know why he came here even though he knew she wasn't here.
After a while, he finally spoke again: "I accidentally broke the door of your studio before. I heard that it has not been completely repaired. I came to take a look."
"Ah." The assistant looked like he suddenly understood, "That's right. After the lock was replaced, it seems to be a little weird. It takes a lot more effort to open and close the door than before. Can you help check it? But we don't have the tools here.
Box, let me borrow one from next door!"
As the assistant said this, he walked out of the door and came back soon carrying a toolbox.
Rong Heng had already taken off his coat, wearing only a white shirt, and checked the newly replaced door lock.
After getting the tools, he directly removed the newly replaced door lock, then measured it several times before reinstalling the door lock bit by bit.
These things didn't take much effort at first, but he was not familiar with this kind of work, so it was inevitable that he would do it slower.
About an hour later, the door lock was finally reinstalled, and when opening and closing the door again, it had returned to its previous smoothness.
"Oh, it's finally done." The assistant was overjoyed, "It's been really hard for me to open and close the door these past two days. Thank you."
Rong Heng lowered his head to organize the tool box. Hearing this, he just responded lightly, "I should do it."
The assistant stood next to him, stared at him again and again, and finally couldn't help but said: "Are you... Miss Lu's boyfriend?"
After hearing these words, Rong Heng still did not raise his head, and after a while he replied: "No."
"Ah?" The assistant was a little annoyed that his guess was wrong, but he couldn't help asking, "Then what's your relationship?"
Rong Heng finally packed the toolbox and stood up slowly, but his eyelashes were still lowered.
