Chapter 131 What is there to be ashamed of?
Mu Yuan almost begged Huo Min with her eyes not to do anything rash.
Facing her helpless and pitiful expression.
Huo Min's lips curled up in a playful manner.
He was calm and composed, with no intention of getting up. "I haven't asked yet, how did Second Young Master Gu know our Engineer Mu?"
Both his expression and tone were as natural as if he was just having a normal conversation.
His true intentions were completely unrecognizable.
Only Mu Yuan knew clearly that he was not just asking.
She was on pins and needles.
Even the delicate makeup couldn't hide her paleness.
Gu Chenyi was asked unexpectedly.
Reflexively, he looked at Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan gave him a look.
Gu Chenyi understood: she didn't want Huo Min to know.
So, for once, he suppressed his outspoken nature and asked, "Why does Mr. Huo want to know this?"
Seeing that he didn't answer directly.
Instead, he turned a cautious corner.
Huo Min raised his lips with a chill in his eyes. "I'm not doing anything, just curious. Why can't I tell you?"
Gu Chenyi's face was uninhibited: "The process was too long, I'm too lazy to talk about it. Now that the lunch meeting is over, can I catch up with Mu Yuan?"
Huo Min looked at Mu Yuan nonchalantly.
He took in her stiff reaction.
Pulling his lips, he said quietly, "Unfortunately, Engineer Mu has new research results to report to me, so we have to leave now."
Mu Yuan pursed her lips tightly, saying nothing and could only agree.
Reminisce?
How could Huo Min agree?
After being rejected for the second time, Second Young Master Gu was unhappy and sarcastically said, "It's vacation time now. Mr. Huo, are you forgetful?"
Huo Min glanced at Gu Chenyi and said sarcastically, "After all, he's not the Second Young Master Gu. He's free and easy all day long and doesn't have to worry about whether his career is successful. We, Mu Gong, are working against time on research."
The two eyes met.
An obvious contempt and a clear dissatisfaction.
The smell of gunpowder was strong and the situation was tense.
Sit in the middle.
Mu Yuan, who was the first to feel the two sharp gazes, spoke at the right time: "Mr. Huo, the research results are in the laboratory. Please take some time to go back to the laboratory with me."
Huo Min looked satisfied: "Okay."
She didn't even dare to glance at Gu Chenyi.
I was afraid that Huo Min would suddenly get angry and do something irreparable.
Huo Min is now like a time bomb to her.
It could explode at any time.
She couldn't stay like this any longer, she realized.
Gu Chenyi didn't understand why she was so cold to him today and didn't even look at him.
Is it because he was worried that Huo Min would find out that they were once 'blind dates'?
The moment she stood up.
Unable to withstand the cold violence, Young Master Gu directly grabbed Mu Yuan's wrist.
Force her to stop getting up.
Mu Yuan's breathing stopped.
I had to look at him, my eyes were like knives, I wanted to stab him in the face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I don't think there's anything for us to reminisce about. After all, we're not familiar with each other at all. Please let me go. I have to get back to work."
Gu Chenyi was unwilling.
But Mu Yuan glared at him.
He didn't dare to act rashly.
He knew that if he disobeyed her.
He had to continue to contradict Huo Min.
She will definitely be angry.
After all, she loved Huo Min very much.
I love you so much that I would rather be a lover in the dark than let you go.
Huo Min looked at him and saw that he was reluctant to let go of Mu Yuan.
He chuckled, gave Mu Yuan a meaningful look, and extended his arm very gentlemanly: "Let's go, Mr. Mu?"
Mu Yuan raised her eyes and met his deep and dark eyes.
Her body tensed as she reached out to hold him, and she had to say, "Thank you, Mr. Huo."
Huo Min pursed his lips, his eyes dark and gloomy. "You're welcome, Engineer Mu. I can't wait to see the results of your research."
Mu Yuan pulled the corners of his lips very reluctantly.
He gave a stiff yet polite smile.
She took Huo Min's arm and left the venue.
Gu Chenyi's gaze seemed to have a physical presence, piercing her back.
But Mu Yuan did not stop.
And never looked back.
This way, the situation won't get worse.
Walk to the car.
Han Zhu hurriedly got out of the car, opened the back door, and gestured to them to come in.
Mu Yuan glanced at Huo Min, who was already sitting down with a relaxed posture and a handsome profile.
He whispered to the waiting Han Zhu, "Thank you."
Then she lifted up her skirt and stepped into the car with her slender white ankles and high heels.
The moment the car door closed.
Huo Min grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her into his arms.
"Huo Min!"
In panic, Mu Yuan raised her hand and grabbed the cloth on Huo Min's shoulder to maintain her balance.
At the same time, the shield between the front and rear seats rose.
Sitting on his strong, hot legs.
Face to face with him.
This extremely embarrassing posture made Mu Yuan blush suddenly.
She struggled to get off his lap: "This is a parking lot, people are coming and going! Don't touch me!"
Huo Min held her slender waist tightly, which could be held in one hand, and a faint smile appeared in his dark pupils: "Don't worry, no one outside can see what we are doing."
Mu Yuan's chest heaved slightly with anger: "I just did everything you said, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Huo Min stared at her deeply and smiled coldly: "Was the process of your acquaintance very unbearable?"
Mu Yuan was stunned, her heartbeat quickened, and she spoke cautiously: "What do you mean?"
The delicate skin on her back made him unable to let go.
His rough fingertips only touched a few inches.
Mu Yuan, who had goosebumps, grabbed him with her backhand. She gritted her teeth and said, "Just say what you want to say. Don't touch me."
Look at her tense little face.
Huo Min chuckled in an ambiguous manner, his sharp black eyes staring straight at her, as if trying to find clues from her face.
"Neither you nor he wants to talk about how you met. What's the shame?"
Mu Yuan once again had to admire his sharpness.
He discovered the core problem.
She and Gu Chenyi met through a blind date.
Even if she was a substitute for the blind date.
But Mu Yuan still didn't have confidence in this matter, so he told Huo Min everything.
He refused to divorce.
If I knew she was going on a blind date.
Even if it's just going on behalf of a friend.
But he was noticed by his blind date.
Just thinking about this matter.
Mu Yuan felt guilty.
She tried her best to maintain her composure: "You're overthinking it. What's so shameful about it?"
Huo Min twitched the corner of his lips: "Really? Then tell me how you met."
As soon as he finished speaking, he added with a deep look in his eyes: "Not a single word was missed."
Mu Yuan was having trouble breathing: "Put me down first."
The hand on the lower back clamped even tighter.
She met his dark eyes, as dark as a deep pool, in surprise. She saw his thin lips opening and closing: "Just say it."
He refused to let go.
Mu Yuan can't escape.
Realize this.
Mu Yuan clenched her slender fingers and lowered her eyelashes to hide the panic in her eyes.
His mind was rapidly composing an excuse that would deal with Huo Min without causing any trouble.
She said nothing.
Huo Min didn't urge him either.
However, those dark eyes stared at her without blinking.
Don't give her any chance to escape.
