On this day, Mu Qian stayed with Lu Yuan in the hospital until evening as usual.
But when Rong Heng came, she seemed to be redundant again.
So Mu Qian had the guts to reject Rong Heng's "kind intention" of inviting her to have dinner together, and went home to find her son.
She was tired from running around for several days and was exhausted mentally and physically. It wasn't until today that she felt a little relieved. Not long after returning home to stay with Huo Qiran, she felt sleepy first.
After Huo Jinxi's advice, Huo Qiran saw that Mu Qian was sleepy and immediately stopped pestering her and drove her to bed instead.
Mu Qian looked at the time and thought that Huo Jinxi would definitely come back tonight anyway, and she would have to wake up again by then, so she just hugged Huo Qiran and fell asleep in his room first.
She slept comfortably until midnight. When she woke up, she felt that something was not right. She looked at the time and suddenly woke up.
It's already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Huo Jinxi hasn't come back yet?
Huo Qiran had already fallen asleep in her arms. Mu Qian didn't dare to move much. She huddled in the bed and carefully called Huo Jinxi.
I dialed the phone and it rang for a while before I was picked up.
Huo Jinxi seemed to be in a very empty space. Although his voice was soft, it still had a faint reverberation effect.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" When he answered the phone, he didn't have anything to say, he just asked questions.
"What do you think?" Mu Qian rolled her eyes, "I promised to leave early and come back later, why haven't you come back yet?"
Huo Jinxi listened and responded lightly, then said: "Something happened and I can't come back."
When Mu Qian heard this, she almost couldn't help but get up. She looked at Huo Qiran in her arms before she paused and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Huo Jinxi was quiet for a moment and said slowly: "We found out who is behind Lu Yuchuan."
When Mu Qian heard this, her heartbeat seemed to pause for two seconds, and then she said, "Who is it?"
Huo Jinxi whispered two words: "Shen Ting."
Although they had already known in their hearts that the person behind Lu Yuchuan must be a high-ranking person in a certain area, when they heard the name, Mu Qian still paused, and then breathed out,
Said: "It's really a tough guy."
No wonder Huo Jinxi chose such a layout early on. Otherwise, with Shen Ting's status, it would be a fantasy to break through this hard nut.
The only way they can go is to use their own strength to fight as they are now.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Shen Ting has stood at a height that everyone can look up to and cannot be easily shaken, but at such a height, things are also treacherous and undercurrents are surging inside.
Therefore, he is by no means indestructible.
"You must be careful where you are now." Mu Qian was quiet for a long time before adding, "Don't let him notice you."
"Don't worry." Huo Jinxi said lightly, "How can he have the energy to care about anything else now?"
Mu Qian thought of the last fight between Lu Yuchuan and him. For a moment, her heart tightened again, and then she said: "Anyway, you have to be careful. How you went out is how you come back.
If you don't have a hair on your head, you won't even be able to get in!"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi only responded in a low voice and said nothing more.
Mu Qian was lying on the pillow, smelling the milky fragrance of Huo Qiran's body, and listening to Huo Jinxi's breathing on the other end of the phone. Her heart suddenly felt extremely soft.
This man... didn't have to take such a risk.
He was originally at the top of a certain biological chain, a figure who could look down upon everything, but he was willing to give up everything and join such a vortex——
All this is for her.
In the past, she often focused on the things that happened in the past and said that he owed her something, so she had to make up for it and repay it.
But after this time, Mu Qian couldn't help but think that no matter how much he owed her, he should pay it off, and she might even owe some more.
But what does it mean?
Anyway, they still have a lifetime.
"Huo Jinxi." Mu Qian suddenly called him in a low voice.
Huo Jinxi still just responded.
"I miss you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a faint chuckle finally came, "I'll try to get back within two days."
"Two days is so long -" Mu Qian said dissatisfied, "How about I fly over to find you."
Huo Jinxi's voice instantly returned to its light and lazy tone, "You can give it a try."
Mu Qian heard the threat and couldn't help but snorted, and then said: "You go to Huai City to meet so many big people, I want to meet them too, otherwise, from now on, I will be a bumpkin who has never seen the world. You
If you take me out, you will only feel embarrassed."
"I don't mind." Huo Jinxi said lightly.
Does this mean he admits she is a country bumpkin?
Mu Qian couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "Asshole!"
At this moment, a voice came faintly over there, calling Huo Jinxi: "Mr. Huo..."
Huo Jinxi responded, probably in response, and then said to Mu Qian, "I'm going to die."
"Do you have anything else to talk about so late at night?" Mu Qian reluctantly asked, "Who are the big shots here?"
"You will know later." Huo Jinxi replied and was about to hang up the phone.
Mu Qian snorted again and was about to put down the phone when something suddenly flashed in her mind. She grabbed it and called him again: "Huo Jinxi!"
"Um?"
"I think you can meet one more person in Huai City these two days." Mu Qian said in a low voice.
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi was silent for two seconds and didn't ask any questions. He just said, "I have my own arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qian knew that he had something in mind with her, so she couldn't help but chuckled again, and then said: "Then go ahead, I will continue to sleep."
"Good night."
"Good night."
After saying good night to each other, Mu Qian threw away her phone and hugged Huo Qiran into her arms again. She was originally going to close her eyes and fall asleep, but for some reason, she never fell asleep again.
Or maybe she knew why she couldn't sleep, but just didn't want to think about it.
