Chapter 48 Someone Provoked Me
Gu Chenyi just got out of the Ferrari.
Then he heard his father Gu Zhen's roar from inside the villa: "Tell him to come in and see me right away!"
His unruly expression paused for a moment, and he strode inside without any hesitation.
Just as he reached the door, his mother, An Lianhe, rushed over and stopped him. "Xiaoyi, your father heard about you provoking Huo Min at the charity event, and he's furious. You should admit your mistake later and don't confront him!"
Gu Chenyi's expression was filled with sarcasm. "I heard, who's so quick-witted? Big Brother's special assistant? Or Big Brother himself?"
An Lianhe was stunned, then hurriedly explained: "No, it's not what you think."
Gu Chenyi didn't want to listen and took two steps inside.
But he quickly stopped, his lips raised, but his brown eyes were lifeless: "You made me admit my mistakes without asking me the reason. In your eyes, how terrible am I?"
"Xiaoyi, you..." An Lianhe didn't finish her words.
Gu Chenyi has already strode into the main hall.
-
Mu Yuan had no idea what was happening at the charity event.
I heard the door close and unlock.
Mu Yuan put aside the half-read foreign plant research literature and quickly got downstairs and walked out.
Huo Min lowered his head to change his shoes, his right hand naturally supporting the wall, the dark blue tie wrapped around his knuckles hanging down against his slender wrist bones.
Hearing footsteps, he looked sideways.
She had taken a shower and was wearing a beige plush home dress. Her black hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck.
The slender whiteness made Huo Min's black eyes suddenly dim.
Mu Yuan blinked her eyelashes in surprise: "I thought you would come back very late."
"Come back when you're done."
Huo Min's gaze shifted to her bare, jade-like feet with slender and long toes.
He opened the shoe cabinet, hooked her pair of yellow furry shoes with two fingers, and walked over.
"Thank you, I can get it myself." Mu Yuan saw his action and hurried forward to take the shoes.
But Huo Min moved his hand away and avoided her movement.
"?" She was confused.
But he saw his tall figure leaning down, his right knee touching the ground, and his bony hand reaching towards her ankle.
Mu Yuan's pupils trembled, and she stepped back quickly: "You, give me the shoes, I can do it myself."
Huo Min raised his dark eyes, and the depth and mystery in them made her feel confused.
"come over."
Only then did Mu Yuan hear the deep tone in his voice.
I could never tell his mood before, but now.
She was very keen to notice.
He is not very happy.
Seeing that she was not happy, Huo Min did not force her. He just leaned over and placed the furry shoes in front of her feet, saying softly, "The ground is cold, put on your shoes first."
"Thank you. The ground is indeed cold. You should get up quickly." Mu Yuan hesitated for two seconds, then raised his feet and put on the furry shoes.
"Yeah." Huo Min stood up with one hand.
Mu Yuan glanced at the eye-catching tie in his hand.
The plan in my heart was temporarily suppressed.
She pursed her lips again and asked tentatively, "By the way, did the charity party tonight go smoothly?"
Huo Min stared at her with his deep black eyes.
Like a sharp blade, it is so sharp that it is hard to resist.
"It's not going well," he said.
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes froze for a moment, and she became worried unconsciously: "Did something happen?"
Huo Min stared at her without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "Someone provoked me."
Mu Yuan opened her lips slightly, very surprised: "Provoke you? Why?"
He looked her over, making sure she was clueless.
Suppress the anger in your heart.
It was all Gu Chenyi's fault, she was innocent, he thought.
She was just accidentally confused. As long as she is willing to go home, she will have found her way back.
He can let the past go.
"Forget it, it's nothing." He lowered his eyelashes, trying to hide the emotions surging in his eyes.
But he was jealous, extremely jealous, and that jealousy was like a raging fire that was about to consume him.
Whenever he thought of Gu Chenyi's arrogant smile, he couldn't help but recall the intimacy between them, how she went to see him in the rain, how he held her in his arms, and how she lied to him for Gu Chenyi.
He was clearly here first.
Why does Gu Chenyi deserve her love?
Why should he be out?
Mu Yuan looked at his clenched jaw and forbearing expression, and felt that he had encountered some difficult problem.
After all, she had never seen him in such a complicated state of emotions.
She pondered and whispered, "Huo Min, if you're willing, or if I can help, you can tell me the problem you're having, and I'll do my best to help you."
Huo Min stared at her dimly.
In this turbulent world, she is like a green bamboo, standing tall and resilient, growing out of the ground in his heart, standing tall, and like a sweet spring, flowing through his tortuous heart.
After a long while, he raised the corner of his lips and comforted: "I'm fine, you should rest early."
Mu Yuan's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.
She stared at his heavy back as he walked into the bathroom, lost in thought.
When Huo Min came out of the shower, the air was filled with sweetness.
He raised an eyebrow and walked towards the kitchen.
Mu Yuan had her apron tightly tied around her slender waist as she stirred something in front of the gas stove.
"What are you cooking?"
Mu Yuan, who was concentrating on her work, quickly turned around and said, "I made some sugar water. Let's drink some together."
Huo Min's brows suddenly turned serious: "You didn't have dinner?"
Mu Yuan smiled and said, "I have eaten it. This is a midnight snack."
Huo Min's expression was cold and serious as he walked into the kitchen and handed the bowl to her.
"Thank you." Mu Yuan took the bowl and glanced at him quietly. His hair was hanging down, just reaching his eyelashes. He looked less cold and hard than before the bath, and more peaceful.
All in all, I feel like I'm in a better mood than before I took a shower.
Only then did she calm down a little, turned off the fire, and poured the mung bean soup in the pot into the bowl handed to her by Huo Min.
The mung bean soup was steaming hot and steam was rising up.
Mu Yuan stirred it and cooled it manually, her eyes fixed on Huo Min's face with his dark eyes lowered.
She thought about it and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I just saw a joke."
Huo Min raised his eyes: "What's the joke?"
She pursed her lips, as if trying to suppress a smile. "Do you know why sheep can't sleep after being shorn?"
Huo Min looked at her face, which was brightened by her smile, and followed up on her question: "Why?"
Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed, revealing the answer: "Because it can't sleep! Haha."
Huo Min raised his brows slightly.
Mu Yuan wanted to laugh, but when she saw that he didn't move, she scratched her face awkwardly: "Not funny? Then I'll change it."
"Do you know how the police get rid of enemy spies?"
Her expression was mysterious, tempting him to follow her thoughts and ask curiously: "Set a trap?"
Mu Yuan waved her hand: "Wrong!"
Her little face was filled with a little pride of knowing the answer, which made his heart flutter.
"The answer is... eye drops!"
Huo Min was stunned for a moment before realizing that this eyeliner was not that eyeliner.
When Mu Yuan saw his rare slow reaction, she couldn't help but say, "Haha, you didn't expect that!"
She smiled so brightly.
The corners of his mouth curled up in response, "Don't you like reading literature? When would you read this kind of nonsense?"
Mu Yuan's eyes were as clear as a lake, and she spoke meaningfully: "You need to read literature, read jokes, and eat sweets. You can't always be under high pressure. You need to relax."
Huo Min's heart was in turmoil, but he could not find a harbor to anchor, so he could only let the thunder and lightning of emotions rage on.
His thin lips seemed to weigh a thousand pounds: "Today I..."
"Zizi." Mu Yuan's cell phone on the desk suddenly vibrated, interrupting him.
Huo Min's brows knitted instantly.
Who would call her at this time?
Mu Yuan quickly picked up her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. She answered the call with confusion: [Hello, how are you?]
On the other end of the line, a strange female voice drowned out the clamor of music: [Hello, this is KA1 Bar. Young Master Gu is drunk and has called out your number, asking you to come pick him up.]
Mu Yuan was stunned.
Huo Min, who was sitting next to him, heard the words "Second Young Master Gu" and the gentle look in his eyes was instantly shrouded in gloom.
He suddenly clenched the hand holding the ceramic spoon, as if he wanted to crush it.
