Chapter 244 Ordinary Couple

Just behind this door, at the back of the surrounded area, Jian Mo was standing there in a daze, holding a cup of hot water in her hand.

She suddenly felt a little bitter, not knowing what to feel. She probably guessed that Huo Qichen went to the small room so as not to disturb her rest.

But now she couldn't even squeeze in.

The servant was carrying the cooked soup and preparing to go to the small room.

Jian Mo was stunned for a moment, then said, "Mom Ju, let me do it."

The servant then realized Jian Mo's presence and smiled awkwardly, "Okay, Madam, you come."

Jian Mo took the hot soup, opened the door and walked in.

The drip was over and Huo Qichen was pulling out the needle. With the wall lamp on, the man looked as gentle as jade. Perhaps because he was sick, he lacked some of his sharpness and aura.

When he saw Jian Mo, the man's first reaction was to frown.

He was so sick that he had forgotten that she was also in Mingyuan. Perhaps he didn't want her to know, perhaps because of the arrogance that all superiors have, he didn't allow himself to show any vulnerability.

Or maybe he was afraid that she would worry.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Huo Qi Chen smiled at himself in his heart. He was actually afraid.

Jian Mo didn't know what he was thinking. She put down the hot soup and looked at him. There was a hint of coquettishness and a hint of resentment in her eyes.

I placed the back of my hand on his forehead to warm it.

Huo Qichen took her hand away, held it in his, and coaxed her, "It's not hot anymore."

His voice was hoarse due to illness, and Jian Mo's heart was suddenly tangled with countless emotions. He only asked: "Why are you sleeping here?"

"You were still sleeping when I came back, and I was afraid to disturb you."

At this moment, the two people in the small room shed the suspicion and defense that had been wrapped around them, and became like a real couple in the ordinary world, getting along calmly and with true feelings.

Huo Qi Chen held her in his arms, sat her on his lap, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and when he smelled the familiar scent, his heart finally settled, as if he had found a home.

Reassure her: "I'm fine, it's just a common cold."

Jian Mo stirred the soup and let it cool down. "Well, Lao Sun told me."

The man buried in her said in a muffled voice: "Are you still angry?"

Jian Mo scooped a spoonful and motioned him to drink. The man smiled like a child, looked at her playfully, and drank it. "Mrs. Huo is the most thoughtful."

When Jian Mo heard this name for the first time, his hands trembled and then he frowned.

"How dare I get angry with Mr. Huo? It's just a child. It's okay if I don't want it."

Huo Qichen grabbed her hand, his eyes serious, "That's not what I meant."

Jian Mo pretended to be indifferent, "It's okay, I know."

She fed him a mouthful and Huo Qichen drank a mouthful, just like a child eating, but with an added warmth.

After drinking, Huo Qi Chen played with her fingers without saying a word, and gradually fell asleep.

Jian Mo changed the subject and talked about what happened last night: "Thank you for helping to find Qingying. She has returned to the Wen family safely."

"She's too impulsive and has a strong temper," Huo Qichen commented. "It's childish to do something that hurts herself for the sake of others."

Jian Mo retorted: "Maybe it's because I'm too sad. There's nothing I can do. Pain transfer method?"

Huo Qi Chen was silent for a while, then found her waist, stroked the thorn tattoo on it, pressed it lightly with his fingers, and she hummed softly.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Jian Mo's dark eyes were extremely deep. At a certain moment, even Huo Qichen, who had seen countless people, didn't know what she was thinking.

At this moment, Old Sun, who was thinking that he should have finished his IV drip, pushed the door open and walked in: "Huo..."

After three seconds, close the door again.

Jian Mo was frightened. Could it be that their posture just now was misunderstood? She quickly pushed the man away, stood up, and said, "Go back to the master bedroom to sleep."

Then he opened the door and fled.

Huo Qichen smiled bitterly, looked at Jian Mo's back, and whispered, "Little girl."

When he came out, Lao Sun pulled him aside and said, "What's the matter? You are still sick. You need to restrain yourself from some things."

Huo Qichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you okay?" Then he patted Lao Sun's shoulder and said, "You just pushed the door in, she's already shy, don't say anything more."

Old Sun rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to be so happy now."

Grandpa actually went to find Jian's father, and the two of them hit it off right away. Jian Mo was very surprised. Huo Qichen happened to be ill and could not handle official business, so the two of them went to Jian's father's residence together.

Jian Mo volunteered to be his driver.

Huo Qichen sat in the passenger seat, smiling somewhat helplessly, "I'm not very reassured."

"I'm the god of cars, what do you think?" Jian Mo was very confident.

"Really? It was him who had a car accident on the road last time and called me for help." He said slowly.

Jian Mo's face turned red, and she wanted to cover his mouth in frustration.

Huo Qi Chen watched her making a fuss with a smile.

Halfway through the drive, he motioned for her to go to the supermarket.

"do what?"

"Buying groceries."

Jian Mo was puzzled.

"I didn't get to eat your cooking last time. Now that we're all here, I'll cook."

Hearing him say this, Jian Mo was flattered, "Oh, who can bear this."

Huo Qichen squeezed her hand and scolded her with a smile: "Don't be so sarcastic."

When she arrived, she happened to meet a familiar figure coming down the corridor. The two passed each other, but Jian Mo didn't pay much attention. After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "...Sister."

Jian Mo's back stiffened, and Huo Qi Chen turned around as well.

It was Jian Zhou. Unlike the skinny look they had last time, he looked much more energetic and was looking at Jian Mo with a complicated expression.

"How do you know this place?" Jian Mo's tone turned cold.

Jian Zhou lowered his head, "My mother told me..." Then he quickly said, "But don't worry, I don't mean to disturb you, it's just that he is also my father..."

Jian Mo couldn't explain how she felt about this non-blood-related brother, seeing him turn over a new leaf.

"Now that you're here, come up."

Huo Qichen was carrying a lot of food in his hands. Jian Zhou wanted to help immediately and called out cautiously, "Brother-in-law..."

They have seen it in heaven and on earth.

Huo Qichen didn't respond, "Come in."

Grandpa was indeed here, sitting on the balcony with Father Jian drinking tea, and his little life was very comfortable.

When Father Jian saw Jian Zhou behind Jian Mo, his expression changed. He walked into the room on crutches and said, "Come with me."

"dad……"

"Come in!"

Grandpa called Huo Qichen over, "Why are you here?"

He was amused. "Why, only you are allowed to come, but not me?"

Grandpa was disgusted, but immediately said, "That's right, that's how a son-in-law should be."

Huo Qichen asked about his health before saying, "Son-in-law, I'm going to cook. You can stay and try it."

Grandpa looked at Jian Mo in disbelief, "Did you teach this kid?"

Jian Mo blushed and pushed the man towards the kitchen, "Grandpa, I'll help him."

The man who believes that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen is very good at doing these things. Jian Mo is guiding him from the side, and the backs of the two of them are very warm and sweet.

This is probably what life is like.
