That night, Huo Jinxi and Rong Heng rushed to Huai City together overnight.
Mu Qian received a message from Huo Jinxi in the early morning, telling her that he had arrived safely, but she still couldn't sleep.
After lying quietly for a while, Mu Qian stood up, walked quietly into Huo Qiran's room, and lay down next to her son.
Although Huo Qiran was sleeping soundly, he still felt her breath and faintly shouted: "Mom..."
"Mom is here." Mu Qian responded softly, lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead.
Huo Qiran then turned over towards her, stretched out his arms to hug her, and continued to sleep.
Mu Qian held her head with one hand and put the other hand on his back to caress him gently, but she still stayed awake all night.
The risk factor for Huo Jinxi and Rong Heng's trip to Huai City this time is actually very low. Rong Heng may have to participate in the operation, but Huo Jinxi is almost at the command post and will not be involved in risks at all.
Compared to last time, she could rest assured and didn't have to worry too much about him.
But she still couldn't sleep. Even though her mind was blank, she still couldn't find any sleep.
This situation lasted until the next morning, when Mu Qian couldn't hold back her sleepiness and closed her eyes lightly.
Unexpectedly, not long after she fell asleep, she suddenly woke up for no reason and stared at the ceiling blankly.
Huo Qiran's footsteps suddenly sounded, and then he pushed the door open and ran to her bedside. Seeing Mu Qian wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Mu Qian, "Mom, grandpa is here!"
Mu Qian paused slightly after hearing this, and the next moment, she slowly sat up.
"I know." Mu Qian said, "Mom will go down later. You go to school."
"Grandpa said he sent me to school and asked Mom to sleep a little longer!" Huo Qiran said, "Mom, go to sleep, I'm going out!"
After saying that, Huo Qiran came up to her, kissed her gently, then turned around and ran out.
Mu Qian lay still and watched him leave quietly. After a long time, she slowly stood up.
By the time she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Huo Qiran had already gone out. Mr. Huo was the only one sitting on the sofa downstairs, listening to the show with his eyes slightly closed.
Mu Qian walked forward, sat down next to Mr. Huo, and leaned against him, "Grandpa..."
Mr. Huo glanced at her and patted her head gently.
"I can't sleep." Mu Qian said.
"If you could sleep, it wouldn't be you." Mr. Huo said slowly.
Mu Qian was slightly startled and did not answer.
"It doesn't matter." Mr. Huo didn't say more or ask more questions. He just shook her hand gently and said, "As long as you know that what you are doing is right, that is enough. People sometimes do
Facing such a choice, pain is bound to happen, but the key is to take the right path."
Mu Qian still leaned against him.
"Actually, you already know these principles better than grandpa." Mr. Huo said, "It's just that you are still the little girl that grandpa first met. You are smart, kind, and compassionate. This has never changed."
"No." Mu Qian said in a low voice, "I have changed a long time ago."
Mr. Huo chuckled and said slowly: "No, you didn't. You just learned to pretend."
After hearing this, Mu Qian remained silent for a long time.
By the time Lu Yuchuan left and returned, it was already an hour later.
Mu Qian was having breakfast under the supervision of Mr. Huo. As soon as Lu Yuchuan walked in and saw this situation, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Qi Ran has learned to eat breakfast obediently. Why do you, a mother, have to be watched before you eat properly?" Lu Yuchuan said.
Mu Qian replied: "People like me are born to be rebellious. The older I get, the more rebellious I become -"
"You know how to talk nonsense." Lu Yuchuan responded with a low smile, "It's good to eat."
Mu Qian glanced at him and said, "You came here so early, didn't you want to see me for something?"
"You can talk after breakfast." Lu Yuchuan said, "Is there anything more important than eating well?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian lowered her head and ate quietly.
Seeing this, Mr. Huo said to Lu Yuchuan: "She just eats dishonestly. I just need you to help keep an eye on her. I'll go upstairs and make a phone call first."
Lu Yuchuan immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Huo, please."
Mr. Huo nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.
Mu Qian stared at Mr. Huo's back and stopped moving for a moment.
Lu Yuchuan coughed lowly, knocked on the table, and said, "Don't think that Dad will go easy on you if Mr. Huo is not around. I will only keep an eye on you more closely than him - it's delicious."
After hearing this, Mu Qian stared at him for a moment, then finally lowered her head and stuffed all the food in front of her into her mouth.
Lu Yuchuan then laughed with satisfaction and said, "Isn't this great? You are already a mother of two children. You can't be so willful and do whatever you want..."
Mu Qian held her head up and listened to his teachings, feeling sleepy all the time.
Lu Yuchuan glanced at her again and said slowly, "Are you worried about Jin Xi?"
Mu Qian didn't answer.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to him when he goes to Huai City this time." Lu Yuchuan said, "Everything has been arranged and there won't be any mistakes."
Mu Qian still didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lu Yuchuan stood up, walked to her side, sat down, and turned to look at her, "Are you still angry with dad?"
"Why am I angry with you?" Mu Qian said calmly.
"After all, it was because of Dad that Jin Xi was involved in this incident." Lu Yuchuan said, "You are worried about Jin Xi and you blame Dad. Dad understands."
"There's nothing strange." Mu Qian said, "This is our own choice."
After hearing this, Lu Yuchuan patted her hand gently and said, "If possible, Dad also hopes that you can stay out of the matter completely. After all, Dad himself has ways to deal with it. After all, having eyes and hands to the sky is a double-edged sword. Look,
It’s a good thing to get up, but sometimes you’re in too deep and can’t get out, and you’re not free.”
Mu Qian glanced at him and said, "Are you worried that Huo Jinxi will be like you?"
"He is more capable than dad." Lu Yuchuan said, "After this battle, there will be many people who like him and want to cooperate with him."
"Isn't that good?" Mu Qian said, "At least for now, everything you get is benefits. You have also received a lot of such dividends, so you should support it."
Lu Yuchuan heard this and said sternly: "It's precisely because Dad has been here before that he doesn't want Jin Xi to take the same path!"
Mu Qian slowly stared at him.
"He is not only Huo Jinxi, he is also my daughter's husband, my daughter's lifelong support and support -" Lu Yuchuan said, "He must be outstanding, but more importantly, he must be stable."
