After Rong Heng and Lu Yuan flew to Paris together, ordinary life became a bit difficult for Mu Qian.
No matter how much she had nothing to do, Lu Yuan would always come over to see the child every day and talk to her, which would not make her feel depressed.
Now that Lu Yuan is gone, although he can make video calls every day, after all, he is thousands of miles apart and there is no one around him, which always makes Mu Qian feel even more empty.
A few days later, Rong Heng returned to Tongcheng and quickly tasted the same emptiness as Mu Qian.
In the past, no matter how busy he was at work, there was always hope. As long as one day, half a day or even only two hours, he could find time to see her. Even if it was just to hold her for a while, he would feel comfortable.
But now, no matter how much free time she has, all she can wait for is a phone call - she has to wait until she has time to call him.
For a moment, both Mu Qian and Rong Heng felt that their vitality was severely damaged.
Therefore, when He Jingchen arranged for a dinner party, the two of them arrived immediately.
Rong Heng was the first to arrive.
When he came, even He Jingchen hadn't arrived yet, but the red wine had been opened in advance. Rong Heng sat down and drank while waiting.
Mu Qian was the second to arrive.
When she saw Rong Heng when she entered the door, she was stunned for a moment, then walked to him and said, "Am I right? You're actually here too, or are you the first one here?"
"I get off work early today, can't I?" Rong Heng replied dully.
Mu Qian shrugged and said: "Of course. I understand you. It's hard to get off the morning shift and there's no one to make an appointment with to meet and hug you. It's quite depressing!"
"Then what's going on with you?" Rong Heng glanced at her, "He Jingchen invited his second brother to come, why are you here?"
Mu Qian laughed suddenly and said, "Huo Jinxi wants to take care of the children at home. I can just attend this kind of event on his behalf."
Rong Heng rolled his eyes, and Mu Qian also rolled his eyes. One continued to drink, while the other flipped through the menu to find something he could drink.
When He Jingchen and Fu Chengyu walked in together, they were more surprised than anything else when they saw these two people.
Fu Chengyu patted Rong Heng on the shoulder, sat down next to him, and said, "It's not like you to come here so early."
He Jingchen looked at Mu Qian, "Why are you here? Where is Huo Er?"
"He is nursing the baby at home, and I will go to war on his behalf!" Mu Qian said, pressing her heart.
He Jingchen sighed helplessly: "I have something to discuss with him, can you do it for me?"
"Of course." Mu Qian said, "Tell me, what's the matter? I have the final say in our family, and he has to listen to me."
He Jingchen held his head and looked at her for a while, then said: "Okay, then you can give me a hint. In the European market later, should I buy short or sell short?"
Mu Qian looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled "Hehe" and said, "Short sale."
He Jingchen nodded, then raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What's the basis?"
Mu Qian touched her chin, opened her mouth, and said, "Hey, where's the soup I ordered? Why hasn't it been served yet? I'll go check it out -"
Fu Chengyu couldn't help laughing, while He Jingchen could only shake his head and sigh.
Today's dinner was originally set up for Huo Jinxi, who had been missing out on the dragon recently, but who knew he didn't come, so the original half-public and half-private dinner was completely reduced to a gossiping round.
While drinking, He Jingchen was being teased by Mu Qian, telling him all his emotional experiences. Just when he was about to expose even the most unspeakable things, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Huo Jinxi was accompanied by the manager.
Came in.
"Holy shit." When He Jingchen saw Huo Jinxi, he came back to his senses instantly. He remembered that he had almost told Mu Qian about his first night, and he suddenly felt ashamed. He quickly stood up and walked to Huo Jinxi, "How are you, kid?"
You have such a big air that you are willing to show your face!"
Huo Jinxi just glanced at him, and then looked at Mu Qian, who was sitting peacefully on the dining table.
Mu Qian was also looking at him, "If you're not at home to take care of your children, why did you come out?"
The next moment, Mu Qian saw the confinement nanny behind him holding the child.
Mu Qian quickly stood up, walked forward, stretched out her hand to hug the sleeping child in the confinement sister-in-law's arms, "Bring her out too... Fortunately, no one smokes in this private room today."
As Mu Qian spoke, she carried Yueyue to the sofa far away from the dining table and sat down to rest.
He Jingchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Let me ask, did you do something to your wife?"
"Huh?" Huo Jinxi glanced at him.
"The state she is in today is completely abnormal." He Jingchen said, "After the child was born, did you only focus on the child and neglected your wife? Look at how suffocated she is, as if she hasn't spoken to anyone in months."
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he actually glanced in the direction of Mu Qian, then looked away, and glanced at He Jingchen again, "Put away those unfounded speculations of yours."
"There's no basis for it! It's clearly justified!" He Jingchen said to the other two people at the table, "Do you think so? Really?"
Huo Jinxi ignored him, and the other two people ignored him. Soon, the topic at the dinner table changed from family love affairs to finance-related matters, and the normal rhythm was restored.
At the end of the meal and when we were leaving——
Fu Chengyu, who came here specifically to enjoy the meal, was satisfied. He Jingchen, who received the reminder from Huo Jinxi, was satisfied. Rong Heng, who received a call from Lu Yuan during the meal, was satisfied. Huo Jinxi, who took his daughter into his arms again, was equally satisfied.
In comparison, Mu Qian was following Huo Jinxi with empty hands, and it seemed that something was really missing from her body.
Huo Jinxi hugged Yueyue and walked two steps ahead, then suddenly turned back to look at her.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qian looked at him suspiciously.
Huo Jinxi watched her quietly for a moment, and then said, "Come up."
Mu Qian followed his words and walked to him, but saw Huo Jinxi handing Yueyue into Yuesao's hands. Then, he stretched out his hand and held her hand.
Mu Qian looked at his solemn action and suddenly pursed her lips, "Did you finally remember me?"
Huo Jinxi looked at her like that and suddenly lowered his head, pretending to kiss her.
Mu Qian actually just stood there without any reaction. Even when he was closest, she just stared at him calmly.
Huo Jinxi couldn't help but frown, and the next moment, he pressed his lips to hers.
At this moment, two emotionless claps suddenly came from somewhere behind him, accompanied by a joking and laughing voice: "Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are indeed a truly loving couple. They are really enviable."
…”
Hearing this voice, Mu Qian suddenly became energetic. After kissing Huo Jinxi back, she immediately pushed him away and looked at the speaker.
