Chapter 106 Huo Qichen may not like me

She turned around and leaned on the sofa to look at Huo Qichen. The morning light was just rising, shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto his brows, and his whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. Jian Mo finally understood why it was said that men who worked hard were the most handsome. If Huo Qichen was like this, what about others?

She thought about it but didn't ask.

Mu Yi returned to the secretary's office. Seeing her worried look, several people couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is President Huo angry?"

"I'd rather he lose his temper." Mu Yi forced a smile, "It's okay."

She walked to the tea room to pour some water. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She glanced at the note and immediately picked it up, lowering her voice and scolding, "What on earth do you want to do?"

No one knew what was said on the other end, and Mu Yi became even more furious. "I only asked you to find a way to prevent her from attending the meeting. Who told you to hire someone to hit her with a car? If it weren't for your stupid behavior, nothing would have turned out like this!"

"You still have the nerve to blame me? I only blame myself for giving him a handle. If you hadn't gotten involved with that man, would I still have the chance to threaten you?"

"I can't help you. Mr. Huo has issued a death order. You two are finished." Mu Yi sneered, "Don't call me again."

The other end was hysterical and continued to argue. Mu Yi was so angry that his chest heaved, "Song Ke! Stop being unreasonable. Go ahead and report me. I want to see whether Mr. Huo believes you or me."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone abruptly and saw that the water was overflowing all over the floor. She came to her senses, picked up the cup and turned around. However, at this moment, she saw a figure standing at the door and took a step back in fright.

Jian Mo leaned against the door and shrugged innocently, "Assistant Mu, you poured the water too slowly. I thought I didn't need to bother you, so I came here myself. You won't blame me, will you?"

Mu Yi's face was filled with panic, as if he had seen a ghost, "...you heard it."

Her voice tightened. Jian Mo laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter, but her heart was filled with anger. "I didn't expect that the origin of all this was because of Assistant Mu. He disguised himself so well that there was no flaw at all."

Mu Yi clenched the water cup, his face pale, "No, I just advised Song Ke a few words, I didn't participate in what she did at all."

"I believe it." Jian Mo answered quickly.

"Do you believe it?" Mu Yi broke into disbelief.

"Not only do I believe it, I believe Huo Qichen will believe it too. After all, you really didn't do anything." Jian Mo stepped forward and stood in front of her. "Not only that, you also put a lot of effort into this matter of mine. Even if we know that you are the fuse, he and I have no reason to blame you."

Such understanding made Mu Yi even more flustered. Her breathing quickened. "What do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything." Jian Mo paced slowly around her, "I don't care about this matter, and I won't tell Huo Qichen, but I want to tell you——"

"Now that he and I are married, it's a done deal. You'd better stop struggling. I value my life and don't want to die in vain." She raised her voice and said in a serious tone, "Huo Qichen doesn't like you, and he may not like me either. But before everything is over, don't try to hit on me anymore. Let's all do our jobs. What do you think?"

Mu Yi stared at her cunning face and said through gritted teeth, "I don't believe it. He's such a good person. I don't believe you don't have feelings for him."

Jian Mo paused and smiled, it seemed like that.

"But what's the use? Don't you have any feelings for him? You don't get anything either."

This sentence hit Mu Yi's heart straight. She looked suspicious and thought for a moment, "Really?"

Jian Mo was too lazy to answer, took the cup of water from her hand, and turned to leave.

"Jian Mo!" Mu Yi suddenly called her, his voice coming from behind, "What about him? Has he developed feelings for you?"

Huo Qichen's recent behavior has made her alarmed.

Jian Mo pursed her lips and was silent for dozens of seconds before saying, "I don't know."

She didn't know how the domineering queen tore the villain apart with her bare hands. She only knew that such a warning was enough. Mu Yi had deep feelings for Huo Qi Chen. Even if it meant continuing to work by his side, she would not act on her own and attack herself again.

This life is currently saved by her.

Huo Qi Chen had a meeting in the afternoon and didn't see Jian Mo when he came back. He frowned and walked into the lounge only to find that she had fallen asleep on the sofa, probably because she slept too late last night.

He felt pity for her and took down a thin blanket to cover her. Unexpectedly, she was a light sleeper and woke up as soon as she moved. She opened her mouth, feeling thirsty. "You're back?"

Huo Qichen lowered his eyes, "Why don't you go to bed?"

Jian Mo felt a little embarrassed. "I said I was here to work with you, but it doesn't seem right to sleep here."

He sneered, "You are quite self-aware." He took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.

Jian Mo took it and asked in surprise, "How did you know I was thirsty?"

"My lips are a little dry." He looked at her calmly, and she said "oh", then stretched out his pink tongue to lick her lips. In an instant, the restlessness surged up again, he frowned and looked away.

Jian Mo had enough to drink and asked with a smile: "When are we going home from get off work?"

Huo Qichen smiled lazily, "You're like a primary school student, attending class just to get out of class."

She also laughed, "It was really like this when I was in school. I was the first one to rush out of the classroom at the appointed time. No one could beat me."

Huo Qichen's smile gradually froze. When Xiaoxiao was still around, she was similar to her. She was a poor student and always had to be forced to study. She just wanted to play every day.

He subconsciously asked, "How is studying?"

"I always rank first in the grade, no need to say anything." Jian Mo raised his thumb proudly, feeling very proud.

Huo Qichen pursed his lips to hide the disappointment in his heart. He stood up and said, "Just hold on for another two hours and then I'll be off work."

"Huo Qichen!" Jian Mo suddenly called him. He turned his head and saw the woman suddenly rushing over, holding his face and pressing a light kiss on his lips. She quickly moved away and said, "I'll wait for you."

Huo Qi Chen's breathing was rapid. Although it was just a light kiss, the fear in his heart was overwhelming.

He wiped his lips with his fingertips and laughed in surprise, "How brave you are."

She was elated, pleased that her prank had worked.

In the next few days, Jian Mo no longer followed Huo Qichen to work at Huo's. Firstly, he was too ostentatious, and secondly, it was really boring to work with him, even more boring than modeling.

But no matter how busy Huo Qichen was, he would still go home every night and sleep with her, with his arm always resting under her head, giving her a sense of security. Jian Mo couldn't help but think that if such tenderness disappeared one day, she would be very sad.

When I think of that day coming, the happiness I feel at this moment suddenly disappears, leaving only endless emptiness.

Only then did I realize that extreme wisdom will lead to harm. So this is what it means.
