After putting down her phone, Mu Qian finally fell asleep for the first time in a while.
I slept in a daze until midnight, when suddenly there was a very light movement in the house.
Mu Qian still lay still without moving or opening her eyes.
Until an all-too-familiar hand gently touched her eyebrows, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she finally opened her eyes.
Huo Jinxi was sitting by the bed and looking at her. She had just returned home and didn't even have time to take off the coat she was wearing. She looked like a travel-stained person.
Mu Qian seemed to be in a dream, until she grabbed his hand and felt the actual warmth of the iron.
"Why are you back at this time?" Mu Qian was a little confused and her voice was lazy and low, "Aren't you coming back tomorrow afternoon?"
Huo Jinxi looked down at her and said slowly, "There will be heavy snow in Tongcheng tomorrow. I was afraid that the plane would not be able to land, so I came back early."
After hearing this, Mu Qian seemed to wake up completely. She lay on the pillow and stared at him quietly for a moment, then stretched out her hand and wrapped it around his waist. She was brought up by him and leaned into his arms.
middle.
"You feel so cold..." Mu Qian said.
Huo Jinxi held her waist with one hand and stroked the back of her head with the other. Hearing this, he gently pressed a kiss on her forehead.
"It's snowing outside," he said.
The first snow this winter came belatedly, covering the whole city silently.
When the snow melts, what comes is new life.
…
Two days later, it’s New Year’s Eve.
Nowadays, when the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, thanks to the snow, there seems to be some New Year atmosphere again.
In addition, Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian have now moved back to the mansion with Mr. Huo. Everyone in the Huo family has their own rooms in the mansion, and the enthusiasm for returning to the mansion is much higher than that of going to the old residence. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, the mansion is early
The place became lively.
Mu Qian was almost asleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the time. She got up decisively and led her son and daughter downstairs to collect the new year's money in advance.
As the two youngest members of the Huo family, the two little guys went for a walk and immediately made a lot of money.
Huo Qiran got the New Year's money and went upstairs to store it in his own little vault. By the way, he also helped his sister build a little vault and put the New Year's money in for her.
Mu Qian hugged Yueyue and sat down in the crowd, teaching her how to call people one by one.
Huo Yunping, Huo Yunqing and others were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting with Mr. Huo, teasing Yueyue happily for a while. Then Huo Yunping asked Mu Qian again: "Is Jin Xi coming back for lunch?"
"Probably not coming back," Mu Qian said, "After all, there was such a big turmoil in the company some time ago, and he has a lot of things to do."
After hearing this, Huo Yunqing couldn't help but said: "I'm not talking about Jin Xi. I know he has his own way of doing business, but this time he is really too risky. How can he bet on such a project? What if it really goes wrong?
Question, what should the Huo family do? What should the Huo family do?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian just laughed and laughed without answering.
It was obvious that Huo Yunqing had always been worried about this incident, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Huo Jinxi, so he took this opportunity to beat the drum in front of her.
Mu Qian sized up the situation and naturally didn't say anything.
"Okay." Huo Yunping seemed to have heard these words many times, and said, "Anyway, the problem has been solved now, and the company's profits will be good this year, so don't hold on to it anymore."
"Of course the benefits will be great if nothing goes wrong." Huo Yunqing said, "But if something happens, can we still sit here and have a family reunion dinner in peace today?"
After saying that, Huo Yunqing looked at Mu Qian again and said, "Qianqian, you are Jin Xi's wife and the person closest to him. You have to persuade him-"
"Little aunt, I never care about the company's affairs." Mu Qian said.
"I know you don't care, but you have to take care of your husband, right?" Huo Yunqing said, "He is now the father of two children, and his style of doing things must change. He can no longer take such radical risks.
The whole family is worried about him, let alone saying it, and it has set a bad example for the children... right, Yueyue?"
Yueyue was sitting on Mr. Huo's lap. When she heard Huo Yunqing cueing herself, she blinked and looked at her, as if she didn't understand.
Seeing that he and the little princess could not reach a consensus on this matter, Huo Yunqing once again turned his attention to Mu Qian and continued to express his opinions.
Her crazy output successfully forced Mu Qian to abandon her two children and escape from the Huo family mansion before lunch.
But today is the New Year's Eve, and it's not easy to find a place to eat or someone to eat with.
There was no other way, so Mrs. Huo had no choice but to turn her attention to Mr. Huo.
Mu Qian called Qi Yuan, asked him where Huo Jinxi would have lunch today, and rushed there decisively.
The lunch that day was arranged by the Tongcheng Chamber of Commerce. It was half business and half party, so Mu Qian felt that it would not be a problem for Huo Jinxi to bring his family.
However, when she went to the club where the group of people were eating, Mu Qian realized her naivety.
Because when she walked into the private room where Huo Jinxi was under the guidance of the waiter, there were seven or eight men inside, and none of them came with their families.
There is no other reason, because there are several famous and glamorous beauties sitting on the dining table. They are all famous female stars and they are very eye-catching.
No wonder there were several waiters at the door just now as if they couldn't help but join in. It turned out to be like this.
When everyone saw Mu Qian suddenly appearing, they all seemed a little startled for a moment. Even Huo Jinxi's eyes seemed to twitch slightly when he saw her.
Ling Xiuwen, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, who was sitting next to Huo Jinxi, quickly laughed and said, "Qianqian, what a coincidence, you are also eating here?"
"No." Mu Qian said, "I know you guys are eating here, so I came over to join in the fun."
"Isn't that just right?" Ling Xiuwen said, "We are discussing the opening of the annual chamber of commerce cultural performance. Come on, come on, come and sit with me and give me some advice."
The seat next to Huo Jinxi happened to be vacant, and Mu Qian was about to walk over, but saw Ling Xiuwen actively moving to the side to make a place for her.
In this way, wouldn't she become the one sitting in the chair?
"Uncle Ling, there is no need for you to give up your seat to me. There are empty seats over there." Mu Qian said as she walked to Huo Jinxi's side.
After seeing this, she realized why Ling Xiuwen wanted to give up his seat to her——
Because there was someone sitting in the seat next to Huo Jinxi.
The bowls and chopsticks have been moved, and there is a faint red lip print on the goblet in front of him.
Mu Qian glanced at the situation there, and before she could ask anything, she suddenly heard movement coming from the direction of the bathroom behind her——
A woman opened the door and walked out. By coincidence, Mu Qian recognized her.
