Entering September, the hot weather turned slightly cooler. As a pregnant woman who exercised a lot, Mu Qian entered a comfortable season, but Huo Jinxi returned to being as busy as before.
Mu Qian could often see Huo Jinxi from newspapers, magazines, and financial news, but the time to see him at home was very rare——
Most of the time, when she woke up, she happened to hear the sound of his return. When he lay down on the bed after taking a bath, she snuggled into his arms and fell asleep again. When she woke up in the morning, he was often already up and out.
.
The couple who obviously lived in the same room felt like they were in a long-distance relationship. Mu Qian was very dissatisfied with this, so she spent an afternoon personally cooking a pot of soup that Huo Jinxi had been craving for a long time, and stepped into Huo's house.
Go to the headquarters to find him.
Who would have thought that just after reaching the twenty-sixth floor, the elevator door opened, and they saw Huo Jinxi, Qi Yuan, Zhuang Yan and their group standing outside the elevator.
Seeing her suddenly, Huo Jinxi's eyebrows moved slightly and he stretched out his hand towards her, "Why did you come up all of a sudden?"
Mu Qian glanced at the snicker on Zhuang Yan's face, put the soup pot behind her, snorted slightly and said, "I'm passing by while shopping. I'm tired. Come up and sit down. Where are you going?"
"Tongcheng Chamber of Commerce Dinner." Qi Yuan replied, "In the south of the city."
"Oh." Mu Qian responded, took two steps back slightly, and leaned against the elevator wall, "Since you all have to go out, I won't bother to go in. I'm going home."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her, walked into the elevator, and stood beside her.
The other people entered the elevator and stood in front of them consciously, with their backs to the two of them, looking at their eyes, nose, nose and heart, silently.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand slightly and reached the soup pot that Mu Qian had hidden behind him, and whispered: "What is this?"
Mu Qian snorted slightly again and did not answer.
The elevator quickly went down to the underground parking lot, and the driver was already waiting at the elevator entrance.
Qi Yuan and Zhuang Yan both took the initiative to sit in the car behind them, while Mu Qian was pulled into his car by Huo Jinxi.
"Why did you pull me into the car?" Mu Qian said, "The way I'm dressed today, I can't go to the chamber of commerce to save face for you."
"Who says it can't be done?" Huo Jinxi asked.
"It just can't be done anyway," Mu Qian said. "At the Chamber of Commerce dinner, there are so many people wearing fragrant clothes and beautiful people. I don't want to go out to meet people without a face. If a reporter takes a photo, they might be picky and sarcastic about me!"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand to brush her hair. Looking at her fair and soft face, he chuckled and said, "When did my Mrs. Huo become so cautious?"
"Then what can be done?" Mu Qian said, "Having children is a hurdle for women. It is a torture in all aspects. In the end, men still have no conscience!"
Huo Jinxi heard this and said slowly: "What kind of soup can that heartless man have?"
Mu Qian bit her lip suddenly, and after looking at him for a moment, she finally took out the soup pot behind her, "Squid soup nourishes blood and Qi. I learned it from my aunt."
At this point, she paused and then added: "But it's the first time after all, so I still lack some experience..."
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he raised his eyes to look at her, and then opened the soup kettle.
There was a pot of cuttlefish soup that was fairly clear in color and smelled normal. Huo Jinxi looked at Mu Qian again before picking up the spoon.
Mu Qian looked at him expectantly. After Huo Jinxi took a bite, he was silent for a moment and gave a two-word evaluation: "Salty."
"Is it still salty?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask, "I've obviously added boiled water -"
Huo Jinxi's forehead jumped uncontrollably, and he said word by word: "Plain water?"
Mu Qian laughed guiltily, "Auntie walked away when I turned off the fire. I can't eat these things casually, so I didn't taste them. I vaguely realized that the salt might be a little too much, so I added some boiled water to dilute it.
After a while...is it still salty? Let me give it a try."
Huo Jinxi poured the soup back into the pot, fastened the lid, and then asked her, "Are you sure you want to taste it?"
Mu Qian curled her lips and said: "This is my first time making this kind of soup. Cuttlefish is not easy to handle and I have no experience...next time, next time!"
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he coughed twice, and then said calmly: "How about... forget it."
"What the hell?" Mu Qian said, "I'm not the kind of person who gives up halfway. I will definitely continue to work hard!"
After saying that, she made a gesture of encouragement. Who knew that just halfway through the gesture, the expression on her face suddenly changed, "Ahhhhh..."
Huo Jinxi was too familiar with her state, so he quickly took off her shoes, lifted her legs, and supported her calves.
About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the hotel where the dinner was held. After pulling over, the driver quickly got out of the car but made no move to open the door.
Qi Yuan got off the car behind him and glanced at the driver, "What's going on?"
The driver whispered something back, and Qi Yuan immediately stopped talking and stood waiting silently.
Not long after, a silver sports car drove over and slowly stopped beside Qi Yuan.
Then, He Jingchen poked his head out of the sports car and looked at Qi Yuan, who was standing blankly on the roadside, "Why are you standing here? Where is your boss?"
Qi Yuan came to his senses and said quickly: "Mr. Huo is in the car. He will go in later."
"Everyone is here, what's the ink in the car?" He Jingchen said as he got out of the car, "Let him get out of the car, and I'll go in with him."
Seeing this, Qi quickly stepped forward to stop He Jingchen and whispered: "Mrs. Huo is here too."
The expression on He Jingchen's face instantly became very exciting, "What are these two people doing hiding in a car in broad daylight?"
He looked like he was watching a good show, and regardless of Qi Yuan's various attempts to stop him, he opened the car door in a daze, stepped forward and pulled the car door sharply.
As soon as the car door opened, He Jingchen was stunned for a moment.
Mu Qian leisurely sat leaning against the car door on the other side, watching a video on her mobile phone, and her two feet were resting on Huo Jinxi's lap. Huo Jinxi was holding one of them in his hand, slowly
And gently massaged her calves.
Seeing this scene, He Jingchen felt as if he was struck by lightning. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and his voice changed when he opened his mouth: "Huo Jinxi, what are you doing?"
Huo Jinxi slowly raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes cold.
"What a swan!" He Jingchen seemed unable to accept the scene he saw, and was so anxious that he didn't know where to move his hands and feet, "Are you still the Huo Er I know?"
"Do you care?" Mu Qian picked up the waist pillow and threw it at him, "Who taught you to open other people's car doors so casually?"
"I'm here to remind you with good intentions. There are reporters nearby and the sky is dark. Don't do anything that is immoral. Who knows?" He Jingchen looked at Huo Jinxi with sorrow in his eyes, "You might as well do something that is immoral."
