Chapter 128 Old Friends Reminiscing

This sound.

Very familiar.

Mu Yuan glanced sideways.

In the sunlight, Gu Chenyi's red hair became more dazzling and unruly.

Yet, a sudden joy appeared on that proud and unruly face.

Mu Yuan's plan to enter in a low-key manner failed.

Because Gu Chenyi is also an eye-catching person.

Almost immediately.

More than a dozen eyes fell on her.

Mu Yuan's feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and the fingertips hanging on both sides of her body curled up unconsciously, her almond-shaped eyes were at a loss.

Gu Chenyi ignored the gazes of people around him, his heart only on Mu Yuan.

He couldn't wait to come to her, with a look of amazement: "You look very beautiful in this outfit."

The peripheral vision is everyone's gossipy gaze.

Among them, there is one that is particularly sharp and sinister.

Mu Yuan didn't even go to see it.

I also know who this gaze comes from.

She couldn't ignore Gu Chenyi, so she could only bite the bullet and be distant yet polite: "Hello, Mr. Gu."

Gu Chenyi noticed her restraint, and then glanced at the crowd around him, as well as Huo Min, who stood out from the crowd.

Huo Min glanced at him with a cold and cruel look.

He raised his eyebrows uninhibitedly, with naked provocation in his brown eyes.

Huo Min's chin was slightly raised, his eyes were narrow and sharp, and his brows were raised and lowered, as sharp as ice. If he moved, he would fall down.

He raised his foot and walked towards Mu Yuan with an indifferent expression.

Saw him coming this way.

Mu Yuan's heart was in her throat.

Every cell in my body was tense, nervous and uneasy.

Huo Min has always been suspicious and hostile towards Gu Chenyi.

She didn't know what surprising thing he would do next.

The moment he stopped, she couldn't help but call out his name in a low, warning, yet pleading voice: "Boss Huo."

Huo Min cast his deep black eyes over.

Mu Yuan quickly conveyed the message with her eyes: Don't mess around.

Huo Min pursed his lips tightly and looked at Gu Chenyi indifferently: "Second Master Gu, do you know my researcher Mu Gong?"

He emphasized the word 'my' on purpose.

It is a clear declaration of sovereignty.

However, Gu Chenyi paid more attention to what he was introduced later: researcher.

Disdain was almost written on his face: "Mu Yuan and I are friends."

Huo Min didn't dare to admit his relationship with Mu Yuan, but he dared.

He also thought that Huo Min brought the person to the public.

He was ready to admit that Mu Yuan was his girlfriend.

I didn't expect that he would still be so secretive and do things that are not acceptable in public.

When will Mu Yuan be able to see the true nature of this scumbag?

Huo Min curled his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all: "Really, Mu Gong?"

The word "Mu Gong" was as heavy as a stone, pressing on Mu Yuan's heart.

She had a headache: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for thinking of me as a friend."

Gu Chenyi saw her concerns and hesitated to speak, but in the end he was reluctant to go against her wishes.

She was obviously unwilling to admit that she was familiar with him.

The gazes between Huo Min and Gu Chenyi were filled with colorless and odorless smoke.

Compared to this.

What Mu Yuan cares more about is.

Everyone's eyes gradually turned over here.

Mu Yuan realized that if they continued to block the entrance like this.

It will become the focus of the entire lunch meeting.

She hurriedly said, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Gu, the lunch meeting is about to start, shall we move?"

Her voice successfully interrupted the confrontation between the two people.

Just saw them at the same time.

Raise your arms toward her.

One on the left and one on the right, both waiting for Mu Yuan to hold their arms.

The scene was particularly stalemate and full of conflict.

Seeing this, Gu Chenyi sneered: "I advise Mr. Huo to have less contact with women, especially this kind of physical contact, otherwise your secret girlfriend will be jealous."

His original intention was to stab Huo Min.

Unexpectedly, Huo Min did not back down.

He even raised his eyebrows and smiled casually: "Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master Gu. However, Mr. Mu is very familiar with my girlfriend. My girlfriend won't mind, right, Mr. Mu?"

"Hmm..." Mu Yuan's face turned pale and he felt uneasy.

Gu Chenyi didn’t know.

The girlfriend he mentioned as a gift of a tie was her.

Gu Chenyi didn't expect Huo Min to be so shameless.

Is Mu Yuan very familiar with his girlfriend?

Then he actually played two women at the same time and hurt two women?

Bah, scumbag.

Gu Chenyi, who didn't know the whole story, cursed in his heart as dirty as he could.

But on the surface, he still maintained a calm face: "Mu Yuan and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Please give me some time to catch up with my old friend, Mr. Huo."

Huo Min sneered, his eyes so cold that he didn't even want to be perfunctory. "What a coincidence! Mu Gong has to go out with me for a social event today, so I don't have time to catch up with Second Young Master Gu."

Gu Chenyi's face turned dark.

Huo Min exuded a low pressure aura.

Almost at the same time, they turned their eyes to Mu Yuan.

Just look at her.

Who will be chosen in the end?

Mu Yuan was overwhelmed.

One left and one right.

No one is suitable to choose.

What's more, she doesn't want to choose anyone.

Just say: "I'm going to the bathroom first."

He walked straight across between the two of them and strode inside.

Their arms, raised horizontally, were frozen in mid-air.

The movements are neat, like doormen.

See Mu Yuan leave.

Huo Min put down his hand with an indifferent expression, glanced at Gu Chenyi, sneered with contempt, and walked away.

Gu Chenyi put down his hand unhappily, glared at Huo Min who was acting rashly, raised his foot, and followed him in big strides.

Before the lunch meeting begins.

Everyone takes advantage of the time to socialize and get in touch with the circles they want to join.

Huo Min was the first to bear the brunt.

However, this time, everyone's attention was more focused on Mu Yuan, who was standing next to him and had outstanding temperament and appearance.

Someone asked, "Mr. Huo, who is this beautiful lady?"

Mu Yuan was so nervous that her heart beat faster.

Her slender fingers were stuck in the folds of her skirt and twisted it.

Huo Min had promised her, so he wouldn't go back on his word...

I think so.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Huo Min's thin lips slightly parted, and before he could say anything, she spoke first: "Hello everyone, I'm Mu Yuan, a plant researcher in the laboratory under the Huo Group."

"Botanical researcher? What a rare title."

"Which specific area are you researching?"

"Aren't plants purely cultivated? Do they still need to be studied?"

Mu Yuan has heard these questions many times.

Wan'er explained them one by one and briefly elaborated on the concept, theory and purpose of this job.

Huo Min raised his thin lips slightly, admiring the way she shone brightly and confidently in her professional field.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized: "Oh my god, I always thought plants were just grown by seeds, I didn't know there were so many tricks involved." "So this is how the flower seedling improvement method came about! It's amazing! With one improvement, the survival rate of endangered plants is increased, saving every precious plant in the world. This is very meaningful." "Oh right, I have a camellia at home, but it rarely blooms. I've applied fertilizer, but why are there no buds? You're an expert, can you give me some advice?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan asked a few detailed questions and then made conclusions and suggestions.

Everyone also asked some questions about the problems that occurred with their own plants.

Mu Yuan answered them one by one.

All that has been said is simple and clear.

In an instant, everyone gained a better understanding of this profession.

As a result, the look in his eyes when he looked at Mu Yuan was full of admiration and appreciation.

When I first met her, I thought she was just a pretty face, but I didn't expect she made a living by her own abilities.

People are most surprised when their initial impression is overturned.

After Mu Yuan finished answering, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

Her almond-shaped eyes tilted.

He met Huo Min's black eyes that were as bright as stars.

His handsome eyebrows were tinged with a faint smile, and the bright encouragement and approval in his black eyes went straight into the deepest part of her heart.
