Chapter 267: Mr. Qi Running for Love
Shen Hanxing rubbed her fingers, which were pinching the clay, on her apron. The cover of the notebook in front of her had just been branded with the cloud and thunder pattern of the bronze tripod, and the refrigerator magnet in the oven was emitting the burnt aroma of glaze.
There are twelve samples on the workbench, ranging from Tang Sancai dolls to bookmarks with inlaid gold and silver patterns. The most proud one is the set of "Auspicious Beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas" refrigerator magnets. Bai Ze's mane is outlined with gold powder, and Zhulong's pupils are inlaid with tiny pieces of colored glass.
She now considers herself a model worker.
But the customer is still urging for progress.
She is so busy that she is like a spinning top.
"Mr. Shen, an invitation to the International Cultural and Creative Competition!" Intern Xiao Zhou rushed in holding a printed copy of the email, and the glass door hit the wall with a loud noise.
Chen Hanxing's fingertips pressed a shallow pit in the clay. Looking at the gold-plated words "Milan Design Week" in the email, he suddenly remembered watching the cultural and creative exhibition on his computer.
She stared at her computer, sketching 20 bronze artifacts. Qi Moxun, passing by, remarked, "Wearing cultural relics is more lively than displaying them in a glass case."
The phone vibrated in the pocket of her apron. It was a message from Qi Moxun: "I heard you are going to Country M?"
"Yes, leaving next week."
When sending the message, the oven made a "ding" sound as a reminder. Shen Hanxing put on heat-insulating gloves and took out the refrigerator magnet. Zhulong's eyes were flowing orange-red under the light, just like the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window of Qi Moxun's office.
"Okay, I'm going on a business trip, let's go together."
Shen Hanxing stared at the news and was inexplicably in a good mood.
…
After Qi Moxun sent the message, he also asked Lin An to start packing up and go on a business trip to Country M.
Lin An looked puzzled.
"But Mr. Qi, you don't need to go in person for this small project."
Paused.
Lin An suddenly understood.
"I see. You know that Fu Jingheng used some unknown relationship to contact the royal family of Country M."
“Fu’s business is truly surprising this time, as they were able to receive an order from the royal family.
"Alas, I thought the Fu family would be overthrown this time, but I didn't expect them to turn around right away."
Qi Moxun tapped the desktop and said, "You've been very noisy lately."
Lin An: “…”
Just as he was about to say something, Qi Moxun's phone rang.
It’s Qi Zhenting’s call.
Ask him to return to the compound.
In fact, because the houses in the compound are old, many people have moved out.
It can only become a memory.
But asking him to go back now is probably related to Xi Muxuan's matter.
He could have refused.
But if this matter is not properly resolved, it may cause more trouble later.
So, he agreed.
…
When the carved wooden door was pushed open, warm air wrapped in sandalwood hit me in the face.
Xi Muxuan stared at Qi Moxun's shoes at the entrance, and suddenly remembered that on New Year's Eve last year, he was standing at the door like this, brushing the fallen snow off her shoulders and saying, "Run slower, don't fall."
"You're back?" Xi's mother came out from the living room, her eyes glancing at her turtleneck sweater, which she had deliberately pulled tight. "Why are you wearing so little?"
Without waiting for an answer, he pulled her to sit on the sofa. The cherries in the crystal fruit bowl were red as blood, making the red mark on her wrist more obvious.
That was the mark left by Qi Moxu's fingertips when she was packing her luggage this morning and suddenly hugged her from behind and said, "Don't hide from me."
The aroma of borscht wafted through the restaurant, and Qi Moxun walked out from the lounge next door.
Just now, Mr. Xi insisted on playing chess with him.
There were many warnings and warnings in the conversation.
At the critical moment, Qi Zhenting had to take action to stop Mr. Xi.
Only then was he able to come out.
Now, when he saw her, he was slightly startled, his gaze lingering on her neck for a second. Xi Muxuan hurriedly lowered her head to peel the orange, the sour juice seeping into the cracks between her nails. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The sound of the knife and fork hitting the porcelain plate was particularly clear. Xi Muxuan looked up and saw Qi Moxu standing at the kitchen door, pouring milk into a glass.
He changed into a light grey sweater with a slightly lower neckline, revealing a collarbone line that was different from what he remembered.
He had sent three messages before, the last of which was: "I bought new coffee beans, the Yirgacheffe you like."
Xi Muxuan also resisted.
Why is Qi Moxu here?
Didn't let him come back.
She knew that today's incident was deliberately done by her father to save face for her.
After that, I probably never had any contact with Qi Moxun again.
Why is Qi Moxu joining in the fun?
Instead, she became restrained because of this matter.
I couldn't even question Qi Moxun with confidence.
Qi Moxun was not a fool. After seeing the uneasy atmosphere between them, he began to think about changing his strategy.
So during the meal, whenever Mr. Xi mentioned taxes, he would turn the topic to Qi Moxu.
Xi Muxuan was afraid of the consequences and could only grit her teeth and admit that she was the one who started it first.
Old Master Xi snorted coldly.
"It's just a Shen Hanxing, is it worth you making such a fuss?"
"worth."
Qi Moxun didn't give Mr. Xi any face.
"She's my fiancée. My father is planning to arrange a marriage for me. Uncle Xi, do you think it's okay?"
"Besides, she's pregnant with my child."
Mr. Xi was stunned.
If it was just Shen Hanxing, of course it could be handled.
But Shen Hanxing is pregnant?
He really couldn't do it.
In this way, he could only swallow his anger.
Qi Moxun's attitude was firm, forcing Qi Zhenting to express his position. Qi Zhenting had no choice but to compensate the Xi family with some things, and the matter was completely resolved.
At the very least, no one will bother Shen Hanxing anymore.
The wine glass felt hot in her palm, and Xi Muxuan left the table.
In the bathroom, she looked at the red mark on her neck in the mirror and suddenly remembered what Qi Moxu said on WeChat last night: "You always say you like the back of Big Brother, but do you know? Every time you look at him, I'm looking at you."
His fingertips slid across the screen and stopped at the red "Delete" button, but he didn't press it in the end.
This thing is getting worse and worse.
She is even more annoyed!
The next day.
The warning sounds at the security checkpoint came one after another. Shen Hanxing stared at the cultural and creative exhibition stickers on the suitcase when he was suddenly stopped by someone from behind.
Qi Moxun was wearing casual clothes, holding a paper bag with her favorite butterfly cakes in it: "Eat them on the road, don't always drink coffee."
The handle of the paper bag dug into her palm. She looked at the wheat ear pattern on his tie clip and remembered that he once said it was an old item from the Qi family.
"If I take a plane, I'll probably just take a nap and arrive directly."
Shen Hanxing shook his eye mask.
Then he looked at the suitcase Qi Moxun was pulling.
"Boss Qi, how many days will you be away on this business trip?"
"About a week."
Chen Hanxing nodded, "Then my schedule just happens to coincide with yours. I wonder if we have time to go shopping in Country M together."
Qi Moxun looked at her bright smile and suddenly felt that last night's struggle was worth it.
"There's something I want to explain to you."
"What?"
"That engagement..."
