Chapter 301 Falling from the Altar
Kuang and Wen obviously did not expect that today's conversation would go so smoothly, and they were both overjoyed after the end.
Kuang Wenhai looked at the time and offered an invitation to Huo Jinxi: "It's getting late, should you have lunch together? You seem to be getting busier and busier lately. We haven't had dinner together for several months, right?"
Huo Jinxi heard this and refused to comment.
Wen Li glanced at Huo Jinxi's expression, then laughed quickly, and said to Kuang Wenhai: "Why are you so unsightly? Qian Qianren is still in the lounge. Can he leave his wife and go to dinner with you?"
After hearing this, Kuang Wenhai slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I really forgot about this. After all, the relationship between newlyweds and couples is really good!"
Huo Jinxi had obviously exhausted all his patience. Although his face was still the same, he was unwilling to leave even a minute for Kuang Wen and the others because he ignored their jokes at all and quickly asked Zhuang Yan to come in and send them away.
When Huo Jinxi walked into the lounge, Mu Qian was sitting on the head of the bed, watching the video with the tablet he placed on the head of the bed.
When he raised his eyes and saw him walking in, Mu Qian was slightly surprised, "What's wrong? Is the conversation broken?"
"There's a deal." Huo Jinxi replied.
"So fast?" Mu Qian looked at the time in surprise. It only took twenty minutes since she came in and now.
According to Zhuang Yan, they have been arguing about this issue for two days and have not reached a consensus. Is it so efficient in just twenty minutes?
"Don't you want to have a meal?" Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian saw the important part of the video in his hand, and immediately said when he heard this: "I asked Zhuang Yan to order lunch for you! Let me finish watching this video first! If you are hungry, eat it yourself."
Seeing this, Huo Jinxi unbuttoned her suit and walked up, sat down beside her, and looked at the tablet in her hand.
It turned out to be a documentary about a serial murder case. Huo Jinxi was not interested in this kind of thing, but he didn't move after sitting down.
Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked at him, "Don't you eat first?"
Huo Jinxi glanced at her without answering.
Mu Qian thought about it, turned her body, leaned into his arms, put the tablet in a position that was suitable for both of them to watch, and continued to look.
Huo Jinxi adjusted his posture slightly, stretched out a hand to hold her, allowing her to continue watching.
Huo Jinxi let her finish watching a video for more than an hour.
Mu Qian stretched her waist, suddenly remembered time, reached out and touched his abdomen, "Are you hungry?"
The part under the palm was tight and sturdy, and the touch was excellent. Mu Qian couldn't help but touch it twice.
Huo Jinxi glanced at her, "If you want to continue staying here, I don't mind."
When Mu Qian heard this, he considered the situation in front of him and withdrew his hand reluctantly.
While the two walked out of the lounge, Zhuang Yan was walking in from outside with the third lunch he called.
The lunch I delivered the first two times was distributed to other colleagues on the 26th floor before it was cold. Fortunately, this time was just right.
"Mr. Huo, your lunch."
With Mu Qian here, the atmosphere in this office was obviously much more relaxed, and Zhuang Yan also relaxed a little. While placing lunch on the table in the reception area, she raised her eyebrows and smirked at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian pretended not to see it, sat next to Huo Jinxi, picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, and said to Huo Jinxi: "You eat, I will eat fruit, I will leave after you finish eating."
When Huo Jinxi saw her appearance, he knew that she must have had lunch, but he did not expose her. He just pushed the fruit in front of her and took the chopsticks to eat.
The fruits served by one person were finished in a short while. Mu Qianbai was bored and took a magazine to search. Who knew that after reading a magazine, he found that Huo Jinxi had not finished eating it yet.
Mu Qian put down the magazine, got up and went to the bathroom.
As soon as she walked out of the office, Zhuang Yan, who was sitting outside, immediately looked up at her and smiled cringely, "Just have lunch, are you going to be so obsessed?"
"What are you obsessed with?" Mu Qian stepped forward and poked her forehead, "What are you thinking in your mind!"
Zhuang Yan was obviously dissatisfied, "Mr. Huo usually only has lunch for about twenty minutes, but it has been forty minutes today, and it hasn't been finished yet?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but frown slightly.
Judging from his usual eating habits, his eating speed seems to be too slow today.
She suddenly remembered what she said before-
She said, I will leave after you finish eating.
Huo Jinxi is not eating so slowly because of her words, right?
"To be honest, I never thought that Mr. Huo would have such a side." Zhuang Yan said, and suddenly laughed at himself.
Mu Qian glanced at her, "What is he like in your eyes?"
Zhuang Yan immediately counted her with his fingers, "Cold, arrogant, indifferent, and uninhabited. Mr. Huo used to be a man on the divine platform to me. But since you appeared, he fell from the divine platform..."
Mu Qian smiled, "He is your boss, you dare to say such words."
"To be honest," said Zhuang Yan, "You are the person closest to him. You know the best of what he is doing to you. You say that yourself, isn't that true?"
Mu Qian chuckled, then leaned closer to her and said in a low voice: "I won't tell you."
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but curl her lips, "Show off her life!"
When Mu Qian returned to the office, Huo Jinxi finally finished the meal without hesitation.
Mu Qian happened to help Zhuang Yan bring a cup of coffee in and put it in front of him, "Your after-dinner coffee."
Huo Jinxi glanced at the cup of coffee, then looked up at her, "What are you doing in the afternoon?"
"Rest." Mu Qian replied.
"Go home?" Huo Jinxi asked casually.
But Mu Qian suddenly shook her head and pointed to his lounge, "I'm going to rest here."
Huo Jinxi's eyes moved faintly, and he was quiet for a moment before saying, "Just for that post?"
Mu Qian suddenly paused.
Is it for that post?
She didn't know it herself.
But since Huo Jinxi has already found a reason for her, why didn’t she accept it?
"Yes." Mu Qian raised her chin slightly and replied, "It's just for that post. If you are not happy, then drive me away!"
After saying that, Mu Qian stood up and walked towards the lounge with a swagger.
