When Meng Xunqian rushed back, he had just gotten out of the car when he saw Ji Huaishen coming out of the house.

What's this man doing here?

Meng Xunqian glanced around; the city was brightly lit, and luxury cars were leaving one after another.

He couldn't help but frown. Was Ji Huaishen here to help?

Ji Huaishen naturally saw Meng Xunqian as well. He was in a good mood today, so even though he had encountered his so-called love rival, his expression remained normal.

When Uncle Yuan saw Meng Xunqian return, he quickly went to greet him.

"Young Master, you're finally back."

"If Mr. Ji hadn't arrived in time today, our young lady would have definitely suffered a lot more."

Upon hearing what Uncle Yuan said, Meng Xunqian couldn't help but look at Ji Huaishen across from him again.

His expression darkened, and he approached Ji Huaishen: "Thank you."

Ji Huaishen's lips curled up, and surprisingly, his smile was somewhat arrogant.

"No need to be so polite, it's just my duty."

Ji Huaishen's wife is naturally someone he should protect himself.

It was indeed his duty.

Upon hearing his reply, Meng Xunqian clenched his hands at his sides, then relaxed them.

He nodded meaningfully to Ji Huaishen and then quickly went into the house.

Ji Huaishen's lips curved slightly. He didn't care about Meng Xunqian's attitude and was too lazy to pay attention to it.

He got into the car and left.

Shang Qi noticed that Ji Huaishen, who was sitting in the back seat, seemed to be in a very good mood. The smile on his face hadn't disappeared since he got into the car.

What exactly happened between you and Miss Mu in the room just now, sir?

Is it something to make you so happy, sir?

This was the first time he had ever seen his husband smile so happily.

Like a...

Like an idiot.

Shang Qi quickly dismissed any words that might damage his image as a gentleman and said in a formulaic manner, "Sir, Guan Hongzhi's people have already drafted a cooperation plan and would like to ask when you have time. Guan Hongzhi would like to discuss the cooperation with you in person."

Ji Huaishen rested one hand on the car window, propping up his cheek, and looked out of the car.

A fleeting glimpse of the night scene unfolds before my eyes, with the little Christmas lights hanging on the trees twinkling.

The dim light shone on his handsome, angular face, making him indescribably dashing and alluring.

He scoffed lightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"Let's schedule it for next week."

He needs to have a go at Guan Hongzhi, that old fox.

He has an inextricable connection to the CASO mole incident.

When Meng Xunqian arrived at Mu Xiaocheng's room, Mu Xiaocheng was curled up on the bed playing on her phone.

Her little mouth was curved, as if she was in a good mood.

Meng Xunqian's gaze fell on her legs, where her knees were wrapped in white gauze, indicating that Ji Huaishen had already treated them.

Immediately, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But there's nothing you can do; you have to hold it in even if you're uncomfortable.

When Mu Xiaocheng saw Meng Xunqian return, she immediately put down her phone and reached out to him: "Spicy crayfish."

Meng Xunqian was stunned.

When Uncle Yuan called him, he was on the operating table. After the surgery, he rushed back immediately.

Because I was worried about her, I put everything else out of my mind.

She wanted crayfish...

"Chengcheng, I'm sorry..."

Before Meng Xunqian could finish speaking, Uncle Yuan's voice rang out from the doorway.

"Miss, Mr. Ji has asked someone to buy you a late-night snack, saying that you were injured earlier and need to replenish your energy."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xunqian couldn't help but look at Uncle Yuan with a cold, warning gaze.

Uncle Yuan gave him an awkward yet polite smile, then said to Mu Xiaocheng, "These are all your favorites, and there's even milk tea. I'll go get it for you."

Mu Xiaocheng was delighted to hear that there would be a late-night snack.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huaishen had considered everything quite thoroughly.
