Chapter 73 Tie

Jian Mo was self-aware and knew that the reason he was angry was because of the face that was similar to the one in the photo, not just because of her.

Huo Qichen let go, "I didn't marry you for your face."

His ambiguous answer made Jian Mo laugh softly, mocking her own presumptuousness. She pointed to the bowl and said, "Aren't you going to eat the meat?"

"You are so anxious for me to eat it, have you poisoned it?" Huo Qichen unbuttoned his cuffs.

"...If I had this ability, I would have quit long ago."

Huo Qichen glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "He was quite courageous in Heaven and Earth. He poured a whole bag of sleeping pills into the wine. What a ruthless move."

Jian Mo was surprised, "How did you know?" She did put drugs in the wine, so she was so anxious to get Master Li to drink, but she didn't expect to be interrupted repeatedly.

This could actually be discovered, it seems Liang Qiu's abilities are more than just repairing computers.

Huo Qi Chen didn't answer her.

"I have no choice. This is the only way I can think of." Jian Mo was afraid that he would be angry, so she said thoughtfully.

"Being my wife, Huo Qichen, having courage is not a bad thing." Huo Qichen suppressed his emotions, "Just don't go to such occasions in the future, you can't be sure."

In his more than 20 years of life, he had only been there once and nearly lost his life. How could Jian Mo dare to go again?

All his emotions are now indifferent. The furious look on his face that night has disappeared. She still misses him quite a bit. Huo Qichen is more like a human being when he expresses his emotions.

"My injury has healed, but the scar hasn't healed yet. Can't I go to work yet?" One day less of work means one less penny earned. Jian Mo calculated this very clearly.

"No. You'll be too conspicuous with that scar, and people will identify you with it."

Jian Mo was unaware of Huo Qichen's current reputation in the industry and was quite dissatisfied. "Now that's great, not only has my credit been taken away, but my salary has also been cut in half. It's as if I didn't get the bonus at all. My work was in vain."

Huo Qichen lowered his eyes and saw her lying on the table playing with her chopsticks. He suddenly asked, "Would you like some ice cream?"

Jian Mo was confused by the question, "What?"

Huo Qi Chen asked Ju Ma to take out the ice cream from the refrigerator. The latter asked how much, and he said two boxes.

Jian Mo stood up straight, her face full of vigilance: "What are you doing? You said it was for me."

Two boxes of ice cream were placed on the table. Huo Qichen smiled and said, "I won't fight with you for it. I'll give it to you."

"...Didn't you say this was a reward for my progress at work? But I haven't made any progress."

"Yeah, a reward." Seeing that she didn't move, Huo Qichen raised his hand to open the lid, scooped a mouthful with a spoon, and brought it to her mouth. "No matter what people in the company think of you, Jingfeng's order was negotiated by you. The bonus is the biggest proof, so how can you say there is no progress?"

He still remembered these things. Jian Mo was a little surprised. She opened her mouth timidly. The ice cream was so cold that it made her teeth ache. "I thought you didn't express your opinion at that time, which meant you agreed."

It was precisely because of his attitude at that time that she has been brooding over it till now, as if gaining his approval was the so-called success.

Huo Qi Chen let go only after he saw that she had held it firmly.

"What's the reason for the other box?" Expensive food always tastes different, and Jian Mo felt very satisfied after eating it.

"Compensation." Huo Qichen said lightly, taking out a cigarette case, pausing for a moment before smoking, and playing with it in his hand. "Li Qianjing is a well-known local tyrant in Haicheng. You dared to go to the meeting alone, which is brave and resourceful. It's a pity that your face was scratched. So this is compensation."

Jian Mo almost gritted her teeth. How could she hear sarcasm in these words?

"I really want to thank Mr. Huo."

Huo Qi Chen walked upstairs lazily, holding the cigarette box.

After the person disappeared from sight, Jian Mo told Ju Ma to put the other box of ice cream back. She couldn't finish so much, so she wanted to save it for the next time Huo Qi Chen suffered a loss so that she could eat it and vent her anger!

But it was really sweet. Jian Mo immediately forgot her previous worries. It turned out that people really can't stand hardship.

On days when she didn't have to go to work, Jian Mo would sleep until she woke up naturally. She was injured, so the servants didn't dare to call her even if she slept until the afternoon.

Jian Mo ate too much ice cream last night and went to the bathroom all night. She didn't sleep well at all. She barely caught up on some sleep during the day, but when she woke up she found it was already evening. She stretched her waist and went downstairs, and was shocked to see Huo Qichen sitting on the sofa, wearing black-framed glasses, working on his computer.

Jian Mo's movements came to a sudden halt. She glanced at the time and asked the servant in a low voice, "Did the master get off work or didn't leave at all?"

Huo Qichen doesn't usually come back so early.

"Mr. didn't go out today."

Jian Mo felt guilty, as if she was living under someone else's roof. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go back to her room and stay there. Just as she took a step, she was stopped by a male voice behind her, "Jian Mo."

She couldn't walk anymore, so she turned back and asked, "What are you doing?"

Huo Qichen had no expression on his face. "Pack up and come with me later."

Jian Mo was hesitant to go out with him, "The scar on my face hasn't healed completely yet." Going out would embarrass him.

"It's okay." Huo Qi Chen closed the computer and put it aside.

"So how would you like me to look?"

"As long as I can see people."

There were no requirements at all. Jian Mo understood that it seemed that the activities after going out would not be too important.

She went back to her room and changed into a simple dress for commuting. After living here for so long, she had unknowingly accumulated more clothes in her closet, and this room was no longer unfamiliar.

When Jian Mo came out, Huo Qichen had already changed into a suit. He picked up a tie with his hands. The servant understood and was about to help him tie it. She paused and said, "Let me do it."

Huo Qi Chen glanced sideways, somewhat surprised.

Jian Mo took the tie from the servant, stood on tiptoe and wrapped it around his neck. She smiled and said, "As a wife, is there anything wrong with tying a tie for your husband?"

The scent of a woman sprayed on Huo Qichen's neck, but he still let her move without saying a word.

Jian Mo's technique was deft, touching his Adam's apple intentionally or unintentionally, watching it slide up and down, it was extremely sexy. As she watched, the only trace of timidity she had disappeared, replaced by a desire for him.

"Huo Qichen, you are so beautiful."

He lowered his eyes and stared at the bow tie she had tied. "Did you put on perfume?"

"Hmm, it smells like white tea. Does it smell good?" Jian Mo became more and more demanding.

She looked very charming when she smiled deliberately, and under the light, she didn't actually look like Xiaoxiao from this angle.

"It smells good. Don't spray it next time." Huo Qi Chen took a step back, distanced himself from her, and prepared to go out.

Jian Mo was furious and quickly followed, "I didn't tie it properly, wait a minute!"

Unexpectedly, Huo Qichen's movements were even faster. He slightly turned to the side, grabbed her fair and slender wrist, and suddenly moved closer, staring down at her condescendingly, their breaths intertwined.

"Jian Mo, what on earth do you want to do?"

Jian Mo was suppressed by his aura and finally forced a smile: "Test whether I can seduce Mr. Huo."
