Mu Qian had never been able to figure out Huo Jinxi's temperament, and such uncertainty was normal for her, so she didn't care and just played with her phone leisurely with her head down.
Qi Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was far less calm than her.
For Qi Yuan, Huo Jinxi's temperament is very elusive. For work, Huo Jinxi spends 80% of his energy, is shrewd, diligent, and demanding; for his family, Huo Jinxi cares just enough and does not interfere too much.
Nor will I sit idly by and ignore it.
Therefore, as Huo Jinxi's assistant, Qi Yuan only needs to handle two types of affairs - one is official affairs, and the other is occasional matters related to the Huo family.
But since Mu Qian appeared, Qi Yuan had a third kind of affairs to deal with, but this third kind of affairs was very difficult. Even Huo Jinxi, who never showed his calmness easily, would frequently be under pressure because of it.
The driver was driving intently, Qi Yuan was on pins and needles, and the atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly quiet.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. Qi Yuan took out his cell phone, looked at it, and answered the call in a low voice: "Hello..."
Mu Qian sat in the back, listening to his extremely low voice, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, raised her foot and kicked the back of the chair, "Do you need to be so quiet? Are you afraid that someone will eat you?"
"
Qi Yuan was miserable and quickly hung up the phone.
Mu Qian seemed to have lost her patience and looked up at the driver, "Stop the car."
The driver didn't know why. Seeing that Huo Jinxi didn't react, he slowly pulled over and stopped the car.
Mu Qian then looked at Qi Yuan again and said with a smile: "Sitting here is so depressing that I can't even breathe. Get out of the car and I'll ask you to take a taxi."
Qi Yuan could only laugh and said, "Miss Mu, it's so late, so don't bother going back and forth. We're almost home."
"I'm doing this for your own good, but you don't appreciate it." Mu Qian sighed.
Huo Jinxi's eyes were deep and dark, and he only said in a deep voice: "Drive."
The driver nodded and was about to start when Mu Qian said again: "Don't drive, I want to get off."
Huo Jinxi turned to look at her.
Mu Qian smiled at him, got out of the car with her handbag, and closed the door with her backhand.
The driver couldn't make up his mind for a moment and stopped there.
Qi Yuan was stunned for a while and then said: "Mr. Huo, it's so late and Miss Mu is alone..."
"Drive." Huo Jinxi ordered expressionlessly.
The car started quickly, leaving Mu Qian standing alone on the side of the road.
Although Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi seemed to be at odds with each other, Qi Yuan naturally understood the reason why it was difficult for him to carry out his work recently, so he quickly said again: "How about I get out of the car and go accompany Miss Mu."
"Let her go." Huo Jinxi said.
The car was quiet again, but the air pressure seemed to be lower than before.
…
Mu Qian got out of the car alone and stood relaxedly on the side of the road where cars were passing by. She was flexing her stiff neck when suddenly a commercial car stopped beside her.
The car window lowered and Mu Qian saw Shi Rou sitting in the car.
Shi Rou looked at her with a smile, "Didn't you leave with Mr. Huo first? Why are you standing on the roadside now?"
Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and smiled, "His and I have different destinations, so we got off the bus halfway!"
"Then where are you going?" Shi Rou smiled in an extremely approachable manner, "I'll see you off."
"No need." Mu Qian said, "I want to go to the bar to have a drink. It's not appropriate for you, a big star, to go to a place like that."
After hearing this, Shi Rou looked Mu Qian up and down, "You're dressed like this and you're going alone?"
"Is there a problem?"
Shi Rou pondered for a moment, "There are everyone in the bar, and you are dressed so conspicuously, so you still have to protect yourself."
Mu Qian shrugged, "Don't worry, I experienced this kind of situation many times when I was abroad."
After hearing this, Shi Rou nodded, "Okay then, if you need anything, you can call me!"
Mu Qian gestured "OK" to her, smiled and watched her car leave.
…
Half an hour later, Mu Qian arrived at the busiest bar street in the city.
Just as Shi Rou said, she was dressed too conspicuously, and as soon as she got out of the car, she had already met a man who wanted to buy her a drink.
Mu Qian declined, and when she walked into a bar alone, she was followed by three or five men.
The bar became more and more lively as the night went on. Mu Qian sat next to the bar and dismissed the waves of men who came up to chat with her, focusing on drinking and chatting with the bartender.
Unknowingly, it was late at night. Mu Qian drank half the wine. Seeing that the people who came up to chat with her were getting more and more troublesome, she simply paid the bill and got up to leave.
The night was blurry, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. After leaving the door, Mu Qian leaned against a lamppost at the door and let the night breeze sober her up.
A man passing by saw her and walked up to chat with her. Mu Qian just raised her eyes and smiled at him, waving her hand to send him away.
The man was obviously ready to pick up some bargains. When he saw Mu Qian's eyes, he knew that Mu Qian was still conscious, so he turned and left.
Mu Qian watched him go away, turned her head, and suddenly faced a beam of snow-white car lights.
Accompanied by the gradual exclamations around her, the headlights rushed straight towards her——
Mu Qian stared at the two lights and took a step back slowly.
At this moment, someone next to her suddenly threw her down and rolled to the ground——
boom!
With a loud noise, the car hit a lamppost, then rushed onto the sidewalk and hit the street wall hard.
While everyone around was shocked, a young man with yellow hair in the car pushed open the driver's door, got out of the car, turned around and ran away.
When Mu Qian got up from the ground, she only saw a figure from behind.
"The car crashed, why did that person run away?" someone nearby was talking.
"It was probably a drunk driver! Maybe a drug driver!"
"Look at how he looks like he can afford to drive such a car. It's probably stolen..."
At this moment, a black Lincoln stopped on the side of the road, and then Mu Qian saw Lin Su.
Lin Suxian also saw her and ran straight to her as soon as he got off the car.
"Are you okay?" Lin Su held Mu Qian's arm, checked her exposed skin, and found a scratch on her arm.
Mu Qian seemed to have not recovered yet, and shook her head, "It's okay, this car suddenly rushed over..."
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the man standing next to her, "Thanks to this gentleman for saving me. What's your name, sir?"
The tall, dark man beside him smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Wu, Wu Hao."
"Mr. Wu Hao, thank you so much." Mu Qian breathed out, "otherwise I might have died under the wheels of this car."
"It takes a little effort." Wu Hao said, looked at the car next to him, and said, "The owner of this car just ran away. I think it's better to call the police first."
