Chapter 248 Uninvited Guests
Jian Mo wanted to lower her legs, but was caught by his large hand halfway through. It seemed to be a business matter, so he didn't avoid her, letting her eavesdrop, occasionally responding with a few words, being frugal with words.
Jian Mo looked at the man beside her. He had a jade-like face and his every move showed his good manners.
She only felt her heart palpitations, and suddenly a bold idea popped up in her mind. Her heart began to beat violently. She took a deep breath, pushed forward with all her strength, leaned forward, put her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips!
"Bang", something seemed to explode in the air, and the man froze slightly.
He was still holding up his phone in one hand, and a familiar female voice came from it. After not hearing Huo Qichen's voice for a long time, he became anxious, "Hello? Hello? Mr. Huo? Are you okay?"
He held her tightly in his arms, his movements so heavy that it seemed as if he wanted to merge her into his bones and blood.
"Mr. Huo? Are you still there? Is the signal bad?"
Jian Mo listened and finally couldn't help laughing.
Feeling her inattention, Huo Qichen moved away slightly, his lips slightly red, and said to the other end of the phone: "I'll deal with this matter later."
After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and threw it aside.
Looking at her, her grape-like eyes seemed to be soaked in water and sparkling.
He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her again.
An unknown amount of time passed before Jian Mo collapsed into his arms. She heard his slightly hoarse and charming voice, "No progress."
Jian Mo panted, "No one practices this with me. If I improve, won't you kill me?"
Huo Qichen's mouth curled up, his good mood came quickly. He straightened up, picked her up a little, and sat her on his lap, "Drink."
"It's work-related. I only drank a little... half a cup..."
"Whiskey, at least a full glass." Huo Qichen said with a forced smile, "Are you so skilled at lying?"
Jian Mo abruptly changed the subject: "It suddenly occurred to me, do you have any hot springs here?"
Huo Qichen reluctantly stood up and carried her to the hot spring in the back. She was still looking around with her eyes rolling, "Corruption, too corrupt."
Huo Qichen scratched her nose and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." She was tickled by him and shrank back to hide.
Being caught by him, she exhaled rapidly, "Then stay here."
Secretary Zhao's voice came from outside, "Mr. Huo, it's time for us to leave."
Huo Qichen didn't rush to get up. He selected some medicine bags on the counter, all of which were beneficial to women. After checking carefully, he threw them into the hot spring pool one by one. After doing this, he did not forget to remind him: "Wait for me here, let's go home together."
Jian Mo nodded obediently, "Okay."
The hot spring was indeed comfortable. She took off her coat and sat in the pool. She heard the noise outside disappear and the pool returned to silence.
Perhaps because it was too warm, she felt a little drowsy. She lay on the shore and dozed off for a while. She was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She frowned. Is Huo Qichen back again?
There were light footsteps outside.
Jian Mo subconsciously shouted: "Huo Qichen, is that you?"
The footsteps outside stopped, seemed to turn a corner, and slowly walked towards here.
No one responded. Jian Mo's heart was beating anxiously. She covered her chest and looked towards the door, only to see a familiar figure.
She frowned, incredulous. "Why is it you?"
Jian Mo looked up along the pair of high heels. The person was wearing a beige long trench coat. Even looking up, she could tell that the person had outstanding looks and a good figure.
"Jian Mo, we meet again."
It was Wen Yuan.
Without any cover, Jian Mo's aura weakened. She looked away and asked, "How did you get in?"
Wen Yuan squatted down slowly, looking at her at eye level, her eyes scrutinizing her. "What do you think? Since Big Brother Huo is taking me with him today, I can go wherever I want."
Huo Qichen hadn't mentioned Wen Yuan just now, so Jian Mo was suspicious. "You're lying. You came here on your own."
The firmness in his tone surprised Wen Yuan for a moment. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that Miss Jian and her husband are now truly on equal terms and trust each other to the utmost."
The playful tone in his voice made Jian Mo feel guilty. She was soaking in the warm water, but she felt cold all over. "No, I'm just guessing."
"Guess?" Wen Yuan suddenly slapped the water with her hand, sending a huge splash that soaked the corners of her clothes. Jian Mo was forced to close her eyes. "I think you're quite good at sneaking around. I never thought you could actually consolidate your position. You were just lying to me before, weren't you?"
Her direct anger made Jian Mo realize that she was a woman who could not control her temper, otherwise she would not have forced Huo Qichen into the hotel room and punished him by sending him abroad for four years.
Jian Mo wiped the water droplets off her face with the back of her hand. All the panic disappeared. She smiled and said, "Hasn't Miss Wen been leading me to misunderstand Huo Qichen?"
"What do you mean?"
"We once stayed at a hotel owned by the Wen family. I saw a strand of hair belonging to Miss Wen among my belongings." Jian Mo's eyes were fixed on her hair. "It seems that Miss Wen still has the idea of replacing me."
Mentioning that day, Wen Yuan once again thought of Huo Qichen's humiliation of her. She sneered, "I did meet Huo Qichen that day, in the room you lived in. This is a fact."
"The truth." Jian Mo nodded, "I'm still willing to believe Huo Qichen."
Wen Yuan's anger grew even more intense, but soon, she nodded in sudden realization, "Yes, given your family background and education, it would be impossible for you to have the life you have now."
"Opening a studio, living in a luxury suite, frequenting high-end establishments, becoming Mrs. Huo, and even having your father recover—all of these were pipe dreams for you before! But now you have it all, soaring to the top, you're definitely clinging to it. You're so scheming!"
She said it very confidently.
Jian Mo listened and couldn't even refute, because she was right. These external things were given to her by Huo Qi Chen after she became Mrs. Huo.
"Miss Wen, you are right." Jian Mo smiled. "I have to admit that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Once you have obtained it, you will not let it go easily."
"Jian Mo! You are shameless!" Wen Yuan took a deep breath and stood up straight. It seemed that with her upbringing, she could not accept such an answer.
"Miss Wen promised me the same life, but I think about it. No matter what, what you give me is not as much as what Mrs. Huo gets." Jian Mo simply gave up and faced her anger head-on. "Everyone says I look like Wen Mo, so of course I have to use this advantage to the fullest."
