Chapter 40 Underground Lover
Although they have only known each other for a short time.
But these four words "carefully consider your words" would never appear in the description of an unruly and free person like Gu Chenyi.
To the extent that Mu Yuan's curiosity was aroused, she wanted to know what he meant.
She put down her knife and fork and examined him: "What did you just say, what did you mean?"
Gu Chenyi regretted it as soon as he mentioned it.
Now he was being stared at without blinking.
Hesitantly, "I've seen you with... Huo Min."
Mu Yuan’s mind buzzed.
He's seen it?!
Seeing her surprised.
This further confirmed Gu Chenyi's suspicions. At the same time, he felt that Mu Yuan was confused. "Huo Min is a good candidate, but he already has a girlfriend. I don't think you need to get involved in this mess."
Mu Yuan's thoughts came to a halt.
There was a lot of doubt on his pure white face: "Stepping into... muddy water?"
Seeing that she was still stunned, Gu Chenyi lost his patience and said, "Huo Min only likes Tang Nana. Although they have been on and off, it may just be a casual affair with you. Don't take it seriously."
It is very normal for Huo Min to be briefly attracted to a beautiful and interesting woman.
After all, he himself was moved.
But he really had a good impression of Mu Yuan and couldn't bear to see her stuck in the quagmire.
Mu Yuan understood his train of thought: "So, you think I'm Huo Min's secret lover?"
Gu Chenyi realized that the topic was too sharp and quickly lowered his voice: "Don't be angry, I'm not belittling you, I just want you to see Huo Min's true nature."
Mu Yuan put her fist against her lips.
Seeing this, Gu Chenyi panicked: "You, are you going to cry?"
Mu Yuan, who was actually trying hard to suppress the curled corners of her mouth, took a deep breath and remained calm: "You are right, I am indeed his secret lover, but to be more precise, I am a gold digger, so I don't expect him to like me."
Gu Chenyi didn't expect her to admit it so frankly.
His face was filled with shock.
Mu Yuan wiped her mouth politely, lowering her eyelashes, as if she was trying to maintain her dignity. "I hope you can help me keep this secret for the sake of our brief contact these days. This meal tonight is my thank you for keeping my secret. Farewell."
As soon as Mu Yuan left the restaurant, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
He will definitely give up this time!
She was startled when she heard him say that he saw her and Huo Min together.
I thought Gu Chenyi knew about their marriage.
I didn’t expect... Life is really like this: things will work out when the time comes.
Anyway, he had already seen her and Huo Min together, so it would be too fake to argue that it was okay, so he simply admitted to being their underground lover.
If the woman you like is another man's secret lover, you have to be very humble.
Gu Chenyi came back to her senses from her shock and ran out of the restaurant, but she was no longer there among the thousands of people.
She obviously wanted to cry, but she was holding it back.
It is impossible to undo what has been done, especially since he has always been free and unrestrained. When has he ever regretted anything he said or did?
But you can see her lowering her brows and trying hard to suppress her sadness as she left.
Gu Chenyi cursed himself in regret: "I really deserve to die."
Huo Group.
“Knock knock.”
Huo Min didn't even raise his head, his attention still focused on the documents in his hand: "Come in."
"Notify the legal department to hold a meeting at 10 am tomorrow." He thought it was Han Zhu, so he lowered his head and gave the order.
Mu Yuan said softly: "Han Zhu is not outside."
Huo Min's hand holding the pen paused, and he suddenly looked up.
The wind must be strong outside, ruffling her black hair a little, and her clear almond-shaped eyes blinked helplessly. Her usually cold face turned into a pitiful softness at this moment.
Her eyes dropped to the document in his hand.
Suddenly, Huo Min felt that the document was prickly.
I knew it from Mu Yuan's expression: "You are really working secretly, are you the king of rolls?"
"I……"
She caught a glimpse of the bowl of porridge on the table that had not been moved, and turned her toes in the opposite direction.
Huo Min's dark eyes suddenly narrowed: "Wait!"
But it was too late, she had already bent down to open the half-open lid.
The porridge was as full as if it had just been bought.
Mu Yuan just held the lid and looked at him with her back straight.
Eyes meeting.
The air was silent.
For the first time, Huo Min felt what it meant to be nervous and anxious.
In these few short seconds, the explanations that flooded his mind lasted longer than his life.
"You don't like drinking?"
Huo Min looked at her nervously, choosing his words carefully: "It's not that I don't like it."
Her clear almond-shaped eyes pierced into his dark heart: "Then why don't you drink it?"
Huo Min rolled his Adam's apple again and even raised his fingers to unbutton his collar to relieve the heat all over his body.
But in the end, he just moved his fingertips.
He said in a deep voice, giving up his excuses: "I'm drinking now."
Mu Yuan watched him walk over, and before picking up the bowl of red date porridge, he looked up at her cautiously.
She thought it was funny.
She wouldn't hit him for not drinking the porridge, so what was that look?
Before he took his first sip.
Mu Yuan sighed lightly and held his hand.
Beneath the fair and tender skin are big hands with bulging veins.
She pulled him up: "This porridge is cold, why are you still drinking it? You can't drink cold water when you are sick. Let's go, I haven't eaten yet, let's go out to eat."
Huo Min rose up following her force, lowered his eyes, and cast a deep gaze on her slender hand.
Heartbeat accelerates.
He only regained his ability to speak when he was almost in the elevator.
Hoarse voice: "Aren't you going to meet a friend?"
Mu Yuan thought about this and wanted to laugh again.
Perhaps because Huo Min was not someone she was on guard against, she actually smiled: "Yes, I did go to see him, but we probably won't see each other again in the short term."
Huo Min's eyes flickered slightly: "Will never see each other again?"
Mu Yuan smiled: "Yes."
Huo Min pondered her choice of words and wondered: Is this... a breakup?
But she looks happy?
Although I don't know what happened.
But the fact that they no longer met rekindled hope in his heart, which had hit rock bottom.
The night wind is cool.
As the automatic glass door of the group building opened, a cool breeze blew in my face.
Mu Yuan paused and lowered her head to search her bag.
Huo Min: "What are you taking?"
"Scarf." Mu Yuan took out a folded black and white striped cashmere scarf from inside.
Huo Min thought she was cold.
The next second, the scarf was handed over.
He raised his eyes to look at her.
Her eyes narrowed slightly due to the wind, and she said in a clear voice: "Stay with me, this cold wind will make your neck feel cold too. Don't let it blow again and you'll get a fever."
Huo Min stared at her deeply.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Yuan glanced at the scarf and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, the scarf is clean. I washed it and put it in my bag for use."
Huo Min covered himself up.
The distance was instantly shortened.
Mu Yuan's fingertips holding the scarf tightened unconsciously.
Huo Min's pupils were as dark as ground ink, staring at people without blinking.
It's so domineering that it grabs all the other person's attention.
"Help me take care of it." His magnetic voice touched her heart.
As a result, the frequency of her eyelashes blinking increased.
"Oh..." She shook out her scarf and took a step forward.
As she pulled the scarf across the back of his neck.
From a distance, it looked like she had one hand around the back of his neck.
The distance is too close.
She met his deep eyes without realizing it.
It is dark and gloomy, impossible to see through or grasp.
The hidden meaning behind it can make you fall into confusion.
Mu Yuan hurriedly looked away, wrapped her hands around him roughly and wanted to withdraw her hands.
But suddenly he held her wrist tightly.
The whole person was pulled forward and fell into his arms.
Mu Yuan opened her eyes in surprise and met his black pupils that flickered like candlelight.
The fact that she left another man made him eager to make a move.
His deep black eyes fixed on her soft, moist lips: "Tell me, why did you come back to find me?"
When she finished her date, she could have gone home.
Or go to a dinner party at the lab.
But she came.
This time it was proactive.
Huo Min couldn't help but think about it.
