Chapter 105 Spend a Night Together
Hearing the noise, she hurried over and asked, "What time is it? It's three in the morning and you're still not home. Where have you been?"
Jian Mo was embarrassed and exchanged glances with Huo Qichen. "I...I went to accompany Achen to do some work."
Aunt Liu was suspicious. "I was so scared. I thought something happened."
"Aunt Liu, you are not in good health. You don't need to wait for us to go home in the future. Go to bed early." Huo Qichen said calmly without explaining too much.
Aunt Liu was relieved to see them, but when the two were about to go upstairs, she grabbed Jian Mo's hand and whispered, "Did you have a fight with Achen?"
Jian Mo felt guilty, "...No."
"Don't lie to me. Ah Chen came back last night, waited for you for a long time but didn't see you, so he drove out again. Tell Aunt Liu the truth, did you have a fight?"
Jian Mo was quite surprised. She didn't expect Huo Qichen to come out to find her on purpose. "Well... I guess so."
Aunt Liu stared at the red on her neck and smiled: "A little quarrel is good for your mood. This just shows that Achen likes you. Go to sleep."
Jian Mo's face turned red. Do you like it? He was quite brave to think for her.
Being in the same room, without the atmosphere of Zhou Liangqi's lounge, Jian Mo became a little restrained. Huo Qichen didn't seem to want to continue, he just lay down beside her and said, "Let's sleep."
Jian Mo couldn't help but think that if she had continued like that, maybe she would really be willing to give it to him. She knew about the relationship between men and women after so many years, and she wasn't that conservative. What's more, Huo Qichen was handsome and had a good figure, so she wouldn't lose out at all.
"Yeah." After Jian Mo responded, she heard the light breathing sound coming from the man beside her.
In the darkness, after a moment, the man's big hand reached under her neck and held her lightly, "Sleep."
Jian Mo smiled silently. Huo Qichen's arms were very soft, more comfortable than a pillow. She turned sideways and said, "Okay, good night, Huo Qichen."
"good evening."
The next morning, Jian Mo thought Huo Qichen had left, but when he opened his eyes, he was shocked to see the man's sleeping face right beside him. He sensed movement and slowly lifted his eyelids. His voice was hoarse, a characteristic of morning wakefulness, and he said, "Wake up."
They were still in the same position as last night. Jian Mo dared to touch his furrowed brow and asked, "Are your hands sore?"
Huo Qichen seemed to have just remembered his hand and tried to move it, raising his brows with a half-smile, "It's numb."
She couldn't help laughing and quickly sat up. "It's still early. Are you having breakfast at home today?"
Huo Qichen stretched his arms while thinking about today's schedule, "Hmm."
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll ask Aunt Liu to prepare it."
"It's up to you. I'm the same as you." Huo Qi Chen stood up and went into the bathroom to wash up, so Jian Mo went downstairs happily, with a smile on her face.
His way of being close to people was strange, but she could understand it.
After breakfast, Huo Qichen put on his coat and prepared to go to Huo's. Jian Mo stood on tiptoe to tie his tie for him and asked flatteringly, "Can I go with you? It's too boring at home."
Huo Qichen narrowed his eyes and glanced at her arm, "When can the plaster be removed?"
She thought for a moment, "One more week."
"I'll go with you then, and visit your father by the way."
If this is possible, it would be the best. Jian Mo jumped up, thinking clearly, "You didn't reject me."
Huo Qi Chen snorted lightly and walked straight out of the villa. It was late autumn, and the leaves of the sycamore trees outside had turned yellow and were connected together in patches. The scenery was beautiful and the air was also very good.
Jian Mo jumped and skipped behind him, full of energy.
Huo Qi Chen was handling official business in the car. She was bored, so she took a selfie with her mobile phone and accidentally let him appear in the photo. The picture was unexpectedly harmonious. She saved it and set it to private.
She followed Huo Qichen into the top floor. The people in the secretary's office were all surprised to see her. She quickly explained, "I'm here to report on my work."
That made sense, and no one thought about it anymore, except Mu Yi. She knew the identities of both of them, and couldn't help but feel sad. Did he have to take his job with him?
She took a deep breath, looked at the woman sitting in the reception area playing with her phone, and walked towards Huo Qichen, "Mr. Huo."
"explain."
Mu Yi hesitated and hesitated.
Huo Qichen quickly understood and glanced at Jian Mo with tenderness in his eyes. "What I can listen to, she can listen to too."
"But Mr. Huo...this is really against the rules."
Mu Yi used to think that in the entire Huo company, she and Huo Qichen were the only ones who had the most common topics. Although they were all work-related, they were at least business secrets. But now, out of nowhere, there was a woman who shared these with her...
Jian Mo noticed that the atmosphere was not right and came to her senses, "How about I go out first..."
Huo Qichen's face looked bad, so Mu Yi had to restrain himself, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "No need."
"Boss Huo, we investigated overnight last night and found out that Manager Li is suspected of accepting bribes over the years. His salary is not high, but his travel and accommodation are all luxurious. He holds the most important position in the Huo family, and he couldn't resist the temptation."
"How much did you get?" Huo Qichen pressed his eyebrows.
"A rough estimate is 30 million."
He sneered: "Thirty million, Zhou Liangqi is really willing to spend money."
Jian Mo listened carefully and interrupted at this time, "Zhou Liangqi should not have been involved in it personally. That day in the hospital, Manager Li said that he only met him once." He must have instructed his men to do it.
Hearing this, Huo Qichen and Mu Yi looked sideways at the same time.
He raised an eyebrow, "You remember it so clearly, are you making excuses for him?"
"What are you talking about? I'm just stating the facts so as not to mislead you." Jian Mo was not afraid at all and said confidently.
Mu Yi didn't expect that Jian Mo was actually related to Zhou Liangqi. She was really capable.
Huo Qichen retracted his gaze and asked, "Is he related to the car accident?"
Mu Yi froze, she gritted her teeth, "...Yes, I found out that he and Song Ke were in a relationship, and she was pregnant."
"Collect the evidence." Huo Qichen's face darkened. "Pack it up and send it to his wife."
"……yes."
Mu Yi paused and continued, "The plan to acquire Wan Jing is already being re-prepared. Should we re-check the background of each person involved?"
"No need, this is already Zhou Liangqi's trump card, he has no backup plan."
"How do you know?"
"Because right now, he is in a state of panic in London." Huo Qi Chen spoke lightly, with a fierce look in his eyes. Killers like to kill people in autumn because the wind is strong and the blood dries quickly.
After reporting on her work, Mu Yi took a deep breath when she passed by Jian Mo. She was really unwilling to accept that both chess pieces were defeated in her hands.
"Miss Jane, what would you like to drink?"
Jian Mo caught a glimpse of the stubbornness on her face. As a woman, she naturally knew what she meant. She said with a hint of amusement, "Thank you, Special Assistant Mu. Water will be fine."
Mu Yi didn't respond and turned away.
Jian Mo tapped his legs with his fingers, recalling the few times he had met her. It seemed that neither of them liked him very much.
