Chapter 38 He stayed here last night?

Han Zhuyi went out.

The room was quiet.

Mu Yuan couldn't withstand Huo Min's fiery gaze.

He avoided her gaze, feeling embarrassed by the stupid action he had just taken on impulse.

After a moment, she couldn't bear it anymore and said tactfully: "You...you should close your eyes and take a nap. You need to rest after having a fever."

"Are you worried about me?" The joy accumulated in Huo Min's eyes shone through the darkness.

Mu Yuan's lips parted, and she gave up struggling: "After all, we are... friends. It's normal to worry about a friend who is sick, right?"

Her explanation seemed to be a bit of a cover-up.

Huo Min's lips curled up.

When Mu Yuan saw him smile, her throat felt hot.

She was clearly telling the truth, but she felt inexplicably ashamed.

"Yeah, normal. Why did you come here suddenly?"

She has been coming to the office more and more frequently recently.

Knowing that being happy about this will ultimately be empty joy.

But Huo Min couldn't help but feel a small fire burning in his heart.

Mu Yuan then remembered the purpose of coming here.

With a helpless expression, he said, "Our lab is having a dinner party tonight and we'd like to invite you to join us."

Huo Min raised his eyebrows: "Why did you invite me?"

Mu Yuan embellished the deputy dean's 'promotion theory' a little: "We, the deputy dean, are very grateful that you are willing to give us the opportunity to prove ourselves in this performance assessment meeting. We are grateful, so we sincerely invite you to join us for the party."

"What about you?"

Mu Yuan blinked her eyelashes quickly: "Of course I am grateful to the group."

"besides?"

In the dim light, the emotions hidden in the sight are surging.

Mu Yuan played dumb: "Also, I want to thank Assistant Han for assisting me with the investigation."

Not hearing the answer he wanted, Huo Min's face darkened: "That's all?"

He looked like an unhappy child who couldn't get the candy.

Mu Yuan was amused by this imagination and stared at him for dozens of seconds.

I couldn't help but: "Puff."

She smiled, her almond-shaped eyes curved like crescent moons, and her coldness melted away by her smile.

Very contagious.

Huo Min couldn't help but laugh muffledly.

An inexplicable yet harmonious smile filled the dim room, and the temperature around it rose as well.

Mu Yuan laughed for a while before she realized Huo Min was looking at her.

The sun came out, and the strong light climbed up to the windowsill, trying to squeeze through the curtains and pour into the room.

The golden light, which even the curtains could not block, illuminated the softness on his handsome face.

Mu Yuan raised the corner of her lips slightly, no longer beating around the bush, and said sincerely: "And thank you for being willing to help me."

She thought of the day when they almost quarreled, and her lips, which had just been raised, turned down a little: "But, you were obviously going to help me, why didn't you tell me, were you teasing me?"

Huo Min stared at her, his eyes dark, and asked, "Then why don't you believe I will help you?"

Is he that ruthless?

When asked suddenly, Mu Yuan was a little stuck for a moment.

His gaze was so fixed that she could not escape.

I said stubbornly, "I have no evidence to incriminate Chen Zhoufeng. You might even suspect that I didn't take good care of the baby and that I said that on purpose to shirk responsibility. So, without clear evidence, rather than saying I don't believe you can help me, the truth is, I don't know how you can help me."

So when he learned how Huo Min dealt with Chen Zhoufeng, he rushed to find him in a hurry and lost his mind.

"You wouldn't." His voice was firm and clear in its magnetic hoarseness. "You are upright. Even if the rare seedlings died because of your own fault, you wouldn't do this."

Mu Yuan curled her fingertips lightly. The feeling of being firmly believed in by others was like a boat paddle creating ripples on the calm water.

Huo Min's eyes were dark, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "So, Mr. Mu, are you satisfied with the way I helped you this time?"

The sound of "Mu Gong" made her feel half numb.

Her eyes flickered as she looked at Huo Min.

"I……"

"Mr. Huo?" A strange voice came from outside.

It wasn't Han Zhu's voice.

Mu Yuan's first reaction was to lift the corner of Huo Min's quilt.

Huo Min raised his brows.

The next second, she nimbly got into the quilt.

The soft body pressed against his side.

Huo Min's spine instantly stiffened, and he felt his body temperature approaching 40 degrees Celsius.

A shadow appeared on the ground. Before the door was pushed open, Huo Min said coldly, "What's going on?"

Outside: "Ah, Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. The problems with the business plan you submitted last night have been revised. I brought it up to report to you."

He ordered in a deep voice, his eyes falling on the small drum group: "Put it on my desk first."

"Okay, then let me know if you have any questions after reading this."

Mu Yuan, who was hiding in the quilt, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the person was about to leave.

She just went in there reflexively.

After all, she was an experimenter, so how could she appear in the president's room?

Run into the room to report work?

No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense, right?

The corners of the quilt tend to lift up.

A hint of sadness flashed across Huo Min's eyes: "Wait."

The corner of the quilt, which had just been raised a few centimeters, was pushed down again.

Huo Min's lips curled up, his deep eyes fixed on the bulge. "Brief description, what's changed?"

The person outside was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon followed suit: "The specific changes have been made..."

Mu Yuan has lived for more than twenty years, following the rules and being serious.

I've never been so sneaky before.

Especially when huddled in a dark, narrow space.

My heart is beating as fast as a thief.

I don’t know how long it took, but the man finally left after finishing his report.

Mu Yuan pulled back the quilt.

Facing the leisurely Huo Min.

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed in annoyance: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Huo Min raised his eyebrows slightly, innocently asking, "Why did I do that on purpose?"

"You knew I was curled up in the quilt, but you still deliberately asked him for so long? I was almost suffocating."

Huo Min leaned against the headboard, his chin slightly raised, his dark eyes fixed on her.

“Isn’t it normal for employees to report to me?”

Mu Yuan opened her lips to retort, but the words got stuck on her lips and she was at a loss for words.

After all, the other party was indeed reporting on his work just now.

"What are you thinking, hiding under the covers."

"I'm not hiding, I'm just avoiding trouble."

Mu Yuan turned over and got out of bed, having just escaped a disaster.

It would not be appropriate for her to hide in his room any longer.

Seeing her about to leave, Huo Min's eyes dimmed: "Where to?"

Mu Yuan turned around and said, "I won't disturb your rest. I'll sit outside. Call me if you have any questions."

"Is there no place to sit here?" Huo Min's voice was deep.

Sitting by his bed? This wasn't at home, this was at work, with people coming and going. How would I explain if I was caught?

"...I'd better sit outside."

Huo Min didn't respond, but just looked at her deeply with his dark eyes.

"Whatever you want." He pulled the quilt and lay down on his side.

It was obviously a normal action, but Mu Yuan inexplicably felt that he was unhappy.

Never mind. It’s normal to feel sick, uncomfortable and unhappy.

Mu Yuan didn't think much about it.

Although she was sitting outside, she would always tiptoe to check on Huo Min's situation.

His breathing was steady and he seemed to be asleep.

Half of his face was buried in the pillow, his usual cold air had faded, his hair hung down in front of his forehead, and he looked harmless.

Mu Yuan tilted her head and looked.

Until he seemed to feel hot and moved.

She woke up with a start.

She actually stared at someone sleeping? That's perverted.

Mu Yuan was confused and hurried out.

Just then, Han Zhu came in with a document.

The two looked at each other, and Mu Yuan mouthed silently: "Falling asleep."

Han Zhu nodded, placed the documents on his desk, and then pointed to the room.

Mu Yuan was puzzled: "?" and followed him in.

But he opened the toilet door and took out his changed clothes from behind it.

Mu Yuan recognized it at a glance; it was the same suit he wore yesterday.

Immediately frowned: "This clothes... why is it here?"

Han Zhu was confused: "This? This is what Mr. Huo changed last night."

"I know he wore this suit yesterday, but he didn't go to..." She paused, puzzled: "He stayed here last night?"

"Yes, Mr. Huo stayed here last night."

Han Zhu leaves.

Mu Yuan cast a look of doubt and confusion on Huo Min's sleeping face.

It's strange that such a big thing happened to Don Nana.

Why doesn't he go and stay here?
