At night, Mu Qian took Huo Qiran back to his room, gave him a bath, dried his hair, and put him on the bed. Huo Qiran didn't feel sleepy at all. He just hugged the quilt and looked at her, "Mom..."
"What do you want to do?" Mu Qian knew as soon as she heard that he wanted something, and glanced at him.
Huo Qiran immediately said: "I want to go to bed with grandpa and listen to grandpa telling stories!"
Mu Qian couldn't help but pause slightly while she was arranging his clothes, and then replied: "No."
"Why?" Huo Qiran immediately pouted in disappointment.
Mu Qian said slowly: "I told you, grandpa is not in good health recently, so you can't make him work too hard, so you can't sleep with him either."
After hearing this, Huo Qiran lowered his eyes with some disappointment, but still looked unwilling.
"Lie down and go to sleep." Mu Qian said.
Huo Qiran pulled up the quilt and was about to lie down when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. His eyes immediately opened wide and he looked at the door expectantly.
Hearing the knock on the door, Mu Qian paused again, then walked to the door and opened it.
The person standing outside the door was indeed Lu Yuchuan.
"I heard you guys were still talking. Come and see Qi Ran." Lu Yuchuan smiled and looked into the room. After seeing Huo Qiran, he quickly said, "Qi Ran, do you want to sleep with grandpa tonight?"
"Okay!" Huo Qiran immediately rolled up from the bed. Halfway through, he remembered Mu Qian's words again, stopped and just looked at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian looked at Lu Yuchuan and said, "You are already tired today and your body has not fully recovered. Just take a good rest tonight. You really think you are invincible!"
Lu Yuchuan raised his hand and flicked her forehead, "Maybe I can sleep better with Qi Ran by my side?"
Mu Qian was speechless for a moment, but Lu Yuchuan had already stretched out his hand towards Huo Qiran on the bed, "Qi Ran, come here."
Huo Qiran knew that he had been allowed, and immediately got out of bed and ran to Lu Yuchuan. He was picked up by Lu Yuchuan, said "Good night, mom" to Mu Qian, and followed Lu Yuchuan back to his room.
Gone to the room.
Mu Qian turned back to the bedroom and stood frozen in front of the bed for a long time.
It wasn't until her cell phone suddenly rang that she came back to her senses. She looked around anxiously for her cell phone, and finally dug the phone out from under Huo Qiran's clothes and answered it.
"Still not asleep?" Huo Jinxi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Mu Qian listened to his voice and did not answer.
Huo Jinxi waited for a moment and quickly said, "What's wrong?"
After a while, Mu Qian finally called him in a low voice: "Huo Jinxi..."
Huo Jinxi was quiet for a moment and responded.
Mu Qian lay back on the bed and finally said again: "When will you come back?"
"Do you want me to come back soon, or not?" Huo Jinxi asked.
Mu Qian paused suddenly and didn't answer for a long time.
"Where is Qi Ran?" Huo Jinxi then asked again.
"He went to sleep in his grandpa's room." Mu Qian replied, "He likes this grandpa more and more."
Huo Jinxi listened and said slowly: "That at least shows that Lu Yuchuan really loves him. Children will know who is really good to him."
"Yeah..." Mu Qian breathed out lightly, but her eyes turned red uncontrollably.
Outside the window, the mountains were lying dormant in the night. It was clearly dark, but Mu Qian stared at the window for a long time.
"Huo Jinxi, you'd better come back as soon as possible." After a long time, Mu Qian finally spoke in a low voice and said, "Some things should be settled as soon as possible."
…
The next morning, Lu Yuchuan led Huo Qiran out of bed early and went for a walk around the mountain. When he came back, Mu Qian was sitting on the sofa drinking milk alone.
Lu Yuchuan didn't seem to expect that she would be sitting here so early, "Are you up so early? Are you hungry?"
Mu Qian collapsed on the sofa helplessly, "I'm almost fainting from hunger. Who cares about me?"
Lu Yuchuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, okay, daddy will go cook for you right now."
As Lu Yuchuan said this, he put on his apron and walked into the kitchen.
Mu Qian sent Huo Qiran to play in the yard. After lying down for a while, he got up and walked into the kitchen, taking the initiative to start a fight. "Don't say I have no contribution. I am not someone who only eats and does nothing."
Lu Yuchuan glanced at her and said with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"The air in the mountains is good and the environment is good. Isn't it normal to sleep well?" Mu Qian replied.
Lu Yuchuan asked again: "Aren't you angry with Jin Xi?"
"How can I be such a stingy person?" Mu Qian said, "He explained until midnight last night, so I just believe him for the time being."
Lu Yuchuan listened and said with a smile: "You are still young. It is normal for you to have troubles occasionally. A small fight can actually improve the relationship between husband and wife, so dad is not worried."
"Then what if he really bullies me?" Mu Qian said.
"What do you think?" Lu Yuchuan said slowly, "If he really dares to bully you, first, I will not hand you over to him, and second, I will not let him have a good life."
After hearing this, Mu Qian curled her lips and said, "It's a pity that the time when he bullied me has long passed, and you didn't know where you were at that time!"
As she spoke, she tore off a bean sprout in her hand.
Lu Yuchuan glanced at her actions, turned to look at her, and said, "It's because dad missed you and Yuanyuan's past that he has to protect your future lives. You and Yuanyuan have been living together since childhood.
I'm not happy, but from now on, you have your father's backing, and no matter what happens, your father will support you."
"These words almost make my ears tingle," Mu Qian said.
Lu Yuchuan raised his hand and gently pinched her ear.
Mu Qian added, "But when you say it, it still sounds very nice."
After Lu Yuchuan heard this, he laughed uncontrollably again.
…
A day in the mountains means a thousand years in the world.
Two days passed very quickly. When Lu Yuchuan brought Lu Yuan and Mu Qian back to Tongcheng, a drastic change had already occurred in Huai City.
Earlier that day, Shen Ting, who held a high position, was taken away from his home, his personal freedom was restricted, and he was subject to quarantine and review.
This major incident has not been announced to the outside world. It has only been circulated among insiders for the time being. It is a silent undercurrent that has shattered the tranquility of many people.
And among these people, Lu Yuchuan was obviously not included.
He is an insider and a relevant person, but in this incident, he has absolute confidence that he can escape and protect himself.
First, he himself had already taken relevant actions to ensure that he would not be involved;
Secondly, even if something unexpected happened, he would still have an amnesty order.
That was a preferential treatment that he had never thought of, but it was planned by Mu Qian wholeheartedly for him.
Even though what he believed in most was still the protection he gave himself, whenever he thought of this, he was still filled with joy.
After sending Mu Qian and Huo Qilan back to the Huo family, Lu Yuchuan said to Mu Qian: "Dad may be a little busy during the next period of time, and he may not have time to come and see you again. After this period of time, when he has time,
Let’s go and stay in the mountains for a few more days.”
Mu Qian nodded slightly, looked at him deeply, and simply said: "You have to be careful."
Lu Yuchuan smiled slightly and quickly turned around and left.
Mu Qian stood at the door, watching his car slowly drive away from the Huo family mansion, her eyes never focused.
