It turns out that this is what is called absolute freedom.
Mu Qian looked at Lu Yuchuan in a daze.
Probably Lu Yuchuan was too indulgent towards her, always smiling and looking at her with doting eyes, so much so that she almost forgot his original behavior.
Lu Yuchuan was originally such a person——
You are arrogant and go your own way, how can you be easily controlled by others?
Even if this day does come, he will definitely make a corresponding counterattack and will not sit still and wait for death.
Mu Qian suddenly realized that she was worried that he would be in danger when he went to Huai City and fell into a passive state. Maybe she was wishful thinking and overthinking from beginning to end.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yuchuan couldn't help but laugh, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you believe dad now?"
After a moment of silence, Mu Qian finally nodded slowly, "Okay, I believe you."
Lu Yuchuan tapped her forehead again, "Don't worry and wait until dad comes back."
Mu Qian nodded again.
Seeing her obedient look, Lu Yuchuan seemed to be in a good mood. He didn't urge her to go to bed for a while, but just stretched out his hand and hugged her gently.
The father and daughter sat in silence together for a long time, chatting about various topics, and then went back to their rooms near dawn.
Because of this, it was almost noon when Mu Qian woke up again.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuchuan and Lu Yuan were still at home. When Mu Qian came downstairs, the two of them were in the kitchen, cooking and chatting.
Mu Qian poked her head in from the kitchen door again, sniffed and said, "I think you must be talking bad about me again."
"Yes." Lu Yuan glanced at her, "I was saying that you are scared to death of your husband."
"Tch, I'm not afraid of him, I respect him." Mu Qian swaggered into the kitchen and said, "If you don't give him enough respect, it will be terrible for this kind of man to go crazy."
"Well, how scary is it?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Mu Qian was startled. She turned around and saw Huo Jinxi leaning against the kitchen door.
He looked at her with deep eyebrows. Although he didn't seem to be really angry, the pressure was still there.
"Ah!" Mu Qian was caught speaking ill of people behind their backs, and suddenly jumped behind Lu Yuchuan, "Dad, save me!"
Lu Yuchuan couldn't help laughing and said, "There is nothing my father can do about the water thrown by his married daughter!"
After saying that, he pulled Mu Qian out and gently pushed in the direction where Huo Jinxi was.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand to catch her, held her in his arms, lowered his head and glanced at her.
"Why did you come to pick me up so early?" Mu Qian said coquettishly, "I wanted to rely on my father to cook a few meals for me! I'm really tired of eating the meals prepared by my aunt and nutritionist!"
"Oh." Huo Jinxi responded lightly when he heard this, and then said, "I'm just here to have a meal, not necessarily to pick you up."
When Mu Qian heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. She turned to look at Lu Yuchuan and said unceremoniously: "Dad, I want to eat goose feet with abalone sauce and fish maw tonight!"
Lu Yuchuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Are you trying to test dad?"
"Then it depends on whether you agree or not." Mu Qian snorted, and then said, "Yuanyuan, you also order a dish for him to cook!"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan actually thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Well, then I will eat the Buddha and jump over the wall."
Lu Yuchuan was speechless for a moment and just pointed at the two sisters with a helpless attitude.
There was a moment of laughter in the kitchen.
When it was time to start dinner, Huo Jinxi was chatting with Lu Yuchuan in the kitchen, while Lu Yuan and Mu Qian were responsible for setting the dishes before the meal.
Lu Yuan placed the dishes attentively and meticulously. Because of the designer's professional habits, he seemed to want to place each dish in a symmetrical position, as if he was completing a project.
Mu Qian stared at her movements for a while, then suddenly said: "I will come back often to eat. If you do this every meal, you will be exhausted."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Do you have time?"
"Of course." Mu Qian said, "After all, dad's cooking is delicious... I'm afraid you don't have time."
Lu Yuan was quiet for a moment, then smiled slowly and said, "Of course I have time."
Neither of them said anything else, they just looked at each other and smiled.
In the next few days, Lu Yuan was indeed at home, and Mu Qian also came over to have a meal whenever he had time.
The villa that had been quiet and deserted all year round suddenly felt like home.
It wasn't until Lu Yuchuan was about to leave for Huai City that such a homely life came to an end.
After learning that Lu Yuchuan's trip to Huai City was approved, Rong Heng came to Huo's house immediately.
Mu Qian came back from having dinner with Lu Yuchuan and walked to the door of Huo Jinxi's study. She happened to hear Rong Heng's voice: "...Anyway, I have to go to Huai City this time to see Lu Yuchuan.
Who will Chuan meet, and what will happen between them?"
Mu Qian gently knocked on the door of the study room, pushed the door open and walked in. Leaning against the door, she looked at Rong Heng and said, "If you must go, I can only advise you, it's best to stay away from him?"
Hearing this, Rong Heng couldn't help but be slightly startled, "Which 'him'?"
Mu Qian couldn't help but sigh and said, "That person you want to follow, who else is there?"
Rong Heng frowned and said, "Do you know something?"
Mu Qian shrugged, "I only know that he will never surrender easily and be controlled by others. No matter how powerful that person is or how unattainable he is, he will not take it lightly."
Rong Heng's face couldn't help but condense slightly.
From this point of view, Lu Yuchuan's trip to Huai City will probably have something big happen.
"Then I want to go even more." Rong Heng said.
Mu Qian shrugged. Huo Jinxi didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him. He just said: "Anyway, be careful and put your own safety first in everything."
"When it comes to that kind of situation, who will care?" Rong Heng always had no scruples in front of them and said whatever he wanted. Unlike in front of the elders at home, he always had to consider their ability to bear it.
"Don't." Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "If something happened to you, Aunt Rong wouldn't be able to die of grief? I'm so worried about you..."
Hearing her mention Xu Tingrong, Rong Heng's face hardened again, and he became unsightly again.
Mu Qian looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "How have you been on the blind date these days? Is there any girl that I'm compatible with?"
After hearing this, Rong Heng suddenly glared at her.
No one expected that after Xu Tingrong met Mu Qian that day, she went back and thought deeply about it for a day and a night, and then mobilized all her relatives and friends around her to collect information on all the girls of the right age around her, vowing to pull Rong Heng out of the current whirlpool.
Therefore, in the past few days, Rong Heng has started the hellish blind date mode——
As far as Mu Qian knew, in just three days, he had already fallen in love with seven or eight girls.
Rong Heng probably hadn't experienced such liveliness for a long time, so he really had a headache. When Mu Qian asked, he wanted to kill her with flying knives from his eyes.
"I've read all the information about those girls." Mu Qian said, "I think the teacher is pretty good, gentle and virtuous, and she looks like she could live in an IKEA home."
Huo Jinxi said abruptly from behind: "The nurse is not bad either."
"???" Rong Heng looked back at him with a question mark on his face, why are you joining in the fun?
"Don't go against me!" Mu Qian said, "I just like that Chinese teacher, he's bookish!"
Huo Jinxi sat back in his chair and just shrugged when he heard this.
"Aunt Rong also likes that Chinese teacher! Uncle Rong, he seems to like the girl who studies guzheng... But no matter what, the Chinese teacher has the votes of me and Aunt Rong, so he is a sure winner!" Mu Qian looked at Rong with a smile.
Heng, "When will you bring him out for us to see?"
Rong Heng: "..."
Is it appropriate to say these things at this time?
Besides, when he goes on a blind date, how come that whoever these people around him likes is sure to win?
Can it be more ridiculous?
"Anyway, I won't like what you like!" Rong Heng scolded Mu Qian viciously.
Mu Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "That's true. You have always been against me. You have always been like this."
Rong Heng paused for a moment, then turned around and left the next moment.
…
Two days later, Lu Yuchuan set off for Huai City.
Rong Heng had rushed over long ago and made corresponding arrangements.
For Mu Qian now, Huai City is really beyond her reach. She can't go there and she can't control it.
As for what Huo Jinxi did, Mu Qian didn't ask much.
First, Huo Jinxi didn't like her asking these questions;
Secondly, she believed him.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, appeared at Huo's house every day after Lu Yuchuan went to Huaishi.
On the surface she came to see Huo Qiran, but in fact, Mu Qian knew that she was waiting for news from Lu Yuchuan.
Although there are some things she can't do anything about, she still wants to know about things related to Lu Yuchuan's safety as soon as possible.
On Lu Yuan's third night at Huo's house, she and Mu Qian were building Lego with Huo Qiran in the small living room upstairs. Just as she was getting into it, she suddenly heard a cell phone ring.
Several people looked at the direction where the ringing sound came from at the same time and saw Huo Jinxi who happened to be walking upstairs.
As soon as they saw him, Mu Qian and Lu Yuan's eyes instantly froze.
Huo Jinxi looked at the caller ID despite the two people's gazes, and quickly answered the call.
The content of his calls was always simple. Unless he was instructing others to do something, the people next to him had no way of judging what information he was talking about.
The same is true this time.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be talking for a long time, but Huo Jinxi just responded lightly and didn't say much.
Mu Qian couldn't judge any useful information after being around him for so long, let alone Lu Yuan.
Mu Qian was too lazy to think about it and quickly lowered her head to continue looking at Huo Qiran's results. However, Lu Yuan was always paying attention to what was happening on Huo Jinxi's side.
The call only lasted for more than a minute, but Lu Yuan felt as if a long time had passed.
The moment Huo Jinxi hung up the phone, he raised his eyes and looked at them.
"Qi Ran, it's time for great-grandpa to take medicine. You go to great-grandpa's room to stay with him." Huo Jinxi said.
In an instant, Lu Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Mu Qian also slowly raised her head and looked at Huo Jinxi with an almost frozen gaze.
Huo Qiran responded obediently, stood up quickly, and ran into Mr. Huo's room.
Mu Qian bit her lip gently and then said, "What happened?"
"A fight." Huo Jinxi replied.
These four simple words are frightening.
That something like this could happen in a place like Huai City would definitely shock the whole country if it were exposed.
Lu Yuan was originally sitting on the ground, but now he couldn't help but stood up, looked at Huo Jinxi, and asked with some difficulty: "How about dad?"
"He was seriously injured and is being moved to a safe area."
As Huo Jinxi said this, he walked forward, sat down next to Mu Qian, stretched out his hand and held her hand.
Mu Qian's face was solemn, she held him tightly with her backhand and asked in a low voice: "He will be fine, right?"
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand, gently pulled out the long hair from her face, and replied: "As long as he can get through it by himself, I will keep him safe."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly relaxed, and the next moment, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pressed his heart tightly.
Mu Qian looked at her, then at Huo Jinxi, and finally leaned into his arms, holding his hand so hard that it turned white.
"I know that you will never fail to fulfill your promise to me."
