On the other side, Mu Qian left the bedroom and walked directly into Huo Jinxi's study.
Huo Jinxi's video conference was just halfway through, and the other person was chattering. He obviously didn't expect Mu Qian to leave and come back so quickly, and he raised his eyes to look at her.
Mu Qian just smiled at him, walked to the desk, picked up the cup of ginseng tea in his hand and looked at it.
He drank about half of a cup of ginseng tea. Mu Qian smiled and gestured to him to add water, then turned around and walked out the door with the cup in hand.
She went downstairs and returned to the study after a while. She put the teacup filled with water in Huo Jinxi's hand again. She sat down opposite Huo Jinxi, picked up a book on the desk and started reading.
Her attitude seemed like she was going to accompany him to the meeting.
Huo Jinxi raised his eyes and glanced at her again, but continued the meeting unaffected.
After discussing another topic, Huo Jinxi picked up the tea cup at hand, put it to his lips and took a sip.
It was only at this moment that Mu Qian finally raised her eyes from the book and looked at him.
In an instant, the expression on Huo Jinxi's face changed in a very obvious way to Mu Qian. At least, his eyebrows, his eyes, his lips and his Adam's apple all trembled slightly to varying degrees.
The next moment, he raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Mu Qian raised her chin slightly, watching the changes in the expression on his face as if watching a play. He was proud and cunning, and no longer had the gentle and considerate look he had before.
She is not afraid of him.
His meeting is still going on, and the person on the other side of the screen is stating the next topic. At this moment, his face is projected on the big screen in the other party's conference room. If he makes any changes, it will definitely attract attention.
She hadn't made trouble with him like this for a long time, but this time, she just couldn't help it.
However, what she didn't expect was that after a moment of looking at each other, Huo Jinxi endured it, swallowed the saliva, resumed his expressionless look, and continued to face the meeting camera.
Mu Qian narrowed one eye slightly, and then extended her thumb to him.
She squeezed the hottest chili juice in the kitchen and put it into a teacup. Even though she didn't like spicy food, she was able to swallow it without any expression on her face. She really admired it from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that no matter how powerful a person is, they can't escape physiological reactions.
Soon, Mu Qian discovered that even as calm as Huo Jinxi, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Mu Qian was very happy to see this, and she decided to sit here and watch him finish the entire meeting.
More than ten minutes later, another topic was discussed. Mu Qian was waiting for the other party to announce the next topic, but suddenly she heard Huo Jinxi say: "I need to rest for ten minutes."
When he said this, the other party naturally agreed immediately, so the next moment, Huo Jinxi reached out and turned off the camera.
Mu Qian still sat there without moving.
Huo Jinxi raised his hand, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt before looking at her.
Mu Qian also tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "What's wrong? Why do you need to take a break all of a sudden?"
Huo Jinxi didn't say much, and sat quietly in the back of the chair, looking at her silently.
After this simple confrontation, both of them already knew what the other person was thinking.
In the end, Mu Qian laughed, stood up and pushed the cup of ginseng tea with chili juice in front of him, "I made it for you myself, why don't you drink more. Aren't you in a bad mood?
People who are in a bad mood are prone to depression. Eating some spicy food and sweating can help relieve your depressed mood, which is good for you."
"Then you should try it too." Huo Jinxi pushed the quilt towards her with his backhand.
"Why should I try it? I'm not depressed." Mu Qian said.
Huo Jinxi said: "The wedding vows said that we should share weal and woe."
"Ha." Mu Qian sneered and said, "Is it easy to make an oath with a liar?"
Huo Jinxi tilted his head slightly and looked at her, "Am I a liar?"
"Aren't you?" Mu Qian asked.
After another moment of silence, Huo Jinxi suddenly chuckled, and then said, "Even if I am, so what?"
"So what?" Mu Qian stood up suddenly, "You think it's totally fine for you to deceive my feelings, right?"
"If you and grandpa hadn't misunderstood that I was depressed, I wouldn't have known that my wife still had feelings for me." Huo Jinxi said slowly.
Mu Qian put her hands on his desk, "What do you mean?"
"In her heart, it doesn't matter that I'm not as attractive as Lu Yuan. I'm not even as attractive as Ye Jinfan." Huo Jinxi said, "At least when she sees Ye Jinfan, she will instantly cheer up and be full of interest. Go talk to him. I have never experienced such treatment."
When Mu Qian heard this, she couldn't help but be speechless for a moment and just stared at him.
Huo Jinxi still sat calmly in the chair and greeted her gaze calmly.
"Then you just want to quarrel?" Mu Qian finally said.
Before Huo Jinxi could answer, a little head suddenly poked his head in through the half-open door of the room, "Mom, Dad, are you quarreling?"
Huo Jinxi then stood up, walked to the door, and touched Huo Qiran's head, "No. Is my sister asleep?"
"Asleep." Huo Qiran said, "Aunt Yuanyuan's call has been finished, and I'm going to sleep too...Mom, why don't you look at me?"
Mu Qian exhaled slightly, then turned around, walked to the door and touched his head, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early for school tomorrow morning... Stop reading."
"Oh." Huo Qiran responded and glanced at the two of them secretly, "Did you really not quarrel?"
Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi and replied, "We are preparing to quarrel, but we haven't quarreled yet. Do you understand?"
"Is it still noisy?" Huo Qiran asked again.
Huo Jinxi glanced at him and said slowly, "What do you think?"
Huo Qiran felt relieved now, smiled and said: "Good night, dad, good night, mom."
He said good night to the two of them respectively, then turned and walked into his bedroom, closing the door gently.
On this side, Mu Qian also closed the door and turned around to look at Huo Jinxi, "Continue."
"What?"
"Don't you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me? Keep going." Mu Qian said, "If you want to argue, just keep arguing!"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi suddenly raised his hand and loosened his tie.
"What are you doing?" Mu Qian tensed up instantly, "We're not arguing enough, why do you still want to take action? I'm not afraid of your -"
Before he finished speaking, the remaining sounds had disappeared.
Huo Jinxi pressed her against the wall, lowered his head and sealed her lips.
After about a minute, Huo Jinxi let go of her.
Mu Qian coughed instantly, and when she raised her eyes again, she was already filled with tears, "It's so spicy!"
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said slowly: "We share weal and woe. The same goes for spicy food."
