Chapter 67 He's back?
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the silent atmosphere.
Huo Min glanced at the screen, and the waves in his dark eyes returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. He said calmly: "Rest assured, I will go back to the group and will not disturb you."
Mu Yuan frowned slightly, feeling annoyed by his self-deprecating smile.
She wanted to answer him.
But I don’t know where to start.
While hesitating, he closed the door gently.
The thick wooden boards blocked all emotions.
Mu Yuan felt that her attention seemed to have drifted away as well, and she felt drowsy and uninterested.
She opened her phone and replied to everyone's messages of concern one by one.
He looked up with a blank look in his eyes.
Inadvertently, I glanced at a thick photo album on the shelf.
Her eyebrows moved slightly, she stood up, sat at the end of the bed holding the photo album and began to flip through it.
There are photos of Huo Min from childhood to adulthood.
A strange feeling arises spontaneously.
It was Huo Min whom she had never met before.
Unlike his current maturity and stability, he looked very immature in the photo album.
She also learned that he had won piano competition awards and basketball awards, and he was so lively when receiving the awards.
She slowly flipped through the pages one by one.
I saw his college graduation photo. He was holding flowers in his left hand, hugging Zhao Keqiong with his right hand, and smiling brightly at the camera.
Full of vigor, young and handsome.
Zhao Keqiong appears in many of the following photos, but not Huo Gang.
Realize this.
Mu Yuan suddenly thought that in this family, not only had she never seen a photo of Huo Gang, she had also never heard the mother and son mention him.
It was as if this person had never existed.
No one even mentioned the anniversary of his death.
This is strange.
Mu Yuan looked through the photo album again, but still couldn't find Huo Gang's photo.
But why?
It’s almost dinner time.
Mu Yuan went downstairs to help.
But Zhao Keqiong pulled him to the tea room to chat.
Mu Yuan was sipping the hot water carefully.
Zhao Keqiong glanced at her flat belly and asked tentatively: "Is your sex life normal recently?"
Mu Yuan was caught off guard and her upper lip was scalded by the hot water.
She hurriedly hid away in embarrassment.
Zhao Keqiong was startled and quickly took out a tissue to help her wipe it: "Ouch! Be careful, let me see if you are burned?"
Mu Yuan felt that it was not her mouth that was burned, but her brain: "Mom, I'm fine."
Zhao Keqiong wiped it, looked at her hesitantly, and said in a very low voice: "Is he..." as if he found it difficult to speak.
She paused, opened her eyes wide, and almost whispered, "Really?"
Mu Yuan: ...
She said as if her mouth was burning: "You should ask him yourself about this matter."
"Hey, don't be embarrassed in front of mom, just say it."
Mu Yuan felt that if she didn't say something, the topic would not be easily over.
He is the one who says there is a problem.
Mu Yuan gritted her teeth and nodded.
"What a sin." Zhao Keqiong put the back of her hand on her forehead, looking as if the sky had fallen.
Seeing that she looked like she couldn't accept it, Mu Yuan wanted to give her a shot of prevention and instill in her the news that she and Huo Min were about to divorce, but she stopped thinking about it.
Forget it, let’s think of other ways to instill it.
She felt that the main reason Huo Min refused to divorce was because of Zhao Keqiong.
Maybe... maybe, he really had feelings for her, so he violated his principles again and again.
But at that time, it was for Zhao Keqiong that he had no other choice but to marry her, a stranger he had met less than three times.
She calmed herself down, sighed softly, and comforted him, "Mom, modern medicine is actually very advanced..."
The words haven't been finished yet.
Zhao Keqiong quickly grasped her wrist, frowning, her face solemn: "Don't be afraid, Yuanyuan. The reason we went to Nantang this time is because I heard there's a miracle doctor there who specializes in treating infertility. Let's go and give it a try!"
Mu Yuan was stunned.
I didn't expect that the location chosen for this vacation had this purpose.
Zhao Keqiong felt a surge of energy at the mention of the miracle doctor, her energy and spirit returning to normal. "Dinner's almost ready. Call Ah Min and ask him to come back for dinner."
Mu Yuan, who couldn't keep up with the speed of the topic change, frowned: "I..." She didn't want to fight.
But I can’t tell the truth.
Zhao Keqiong, who didn't notice anything unusual about her, stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to check on the soup."
She was the only one in the tea room decorated in ancient Chinese style.
Mu Yuan bit her lip and decided to ask Han Zhu.
The call was connected quickly, but there was background noise, obviously someone was in a meeting.
Mu Yuan hurriedly apologized: [Sorry to bother you, I wanted to ask you, does Huo Min have any other work arrangements tonight?]
Han Zhu subconsciously glanced at Huo Min, who was sitting at the main seat at the desk, listening to the report with a dignified air and a cold expression.
He explained everything in detail: [Boss Huo does have a social event tonight…]
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan quickly interrupted: [Okay, that's fine, you can continue with your work.]
The phone just hung up.
Han Zhu held the phone in his hand and looked stiffly at Huo Min, who was completely unaware of the situation.
It's over, he seems to have made a mistake.
As soon as the meeting is over.
Han Zhu immediately went to report what happened.
Huo Min gave him a cold, icy gaze: "Can you help me make decisions now that you're my special assistant?"
Han Zhu smiled wryly: "You're joking."
Huo Min gave him a sharp look and said coldly, "Get lost."
Han Zhu hurriedly said, "Okay." and slipped away without stopping.
As for socializing.
Of course it was cancelled.
If he doesn't even have this little bit of tact, then he's really wasting his time as a special assistant.
Huo Min had just entered the entrance level.
What catches my eye are the flowers on the table.
The flower he gave her is now in a white porcelain pot and is blooming vigorously.
The clear laughter of her and her mother came from the dining room.
Warm yellow lights, the fragrant smell of rice, and blooming flowers, these three things blend together, releasing warmth that spreads throughout the house.
Huo Min's black eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised straight up.
He walked inside.
Zhao Keqiong spotted him first and was surprised: "Oh, didn't you have an appointment tonight? Why are you back?"
"Cancelled." He responded, his deep gaze casting a glance at her slender figure.
Seeing her hurriedly turn her head, her pretty features were filled with surprise, and Huo Min's eyebrows were filled with indelible tenderness.
He walked straight up to her and sat down.
His dark eyes swept over her obviously restrained expression, and he pressed down with his elbow, deliberately dropping the chopsticks on his right hand.
Mu Yuan, who was closer, wanted to pick it up.
But Huo Min was one step faster, he leaned his head towards her.
Mu Yuan quickly moved to the side to make room for him to pick it up.
Under the table, he spoke in a low voice, at a decibel level that only the two of them could hear: "Han Zhu didn't ask me."
Mu Yuan looked stunned.
Didn't ask him?
So, he canceled the social engagement because he knew she had called?
When Mu Yuan thought of this, his heart began to beat fast.
He had already sat up straight, handed the picked up chopsticks to the servant, and took the new chopsticks.
I picked up a piece of soft meat from the fish belly and gave it to her.
His dark eyes met hers inadvertently.
But after only a few seconds, it moved back.
Mu Yuan chewed the sweet fish meat, and a tasteless feeling arose in her heart.
After dinner, Mu Yuan was wiping her mouth gently.
I heard Zhao Keqiong suddenly say, "The quilt in Ah Min's room is probably too thin. I'll ask Auntie to change it for you with a thicker one later. It's getting colder now, so you need to cover yourself with something warmer."
Mu Yuan paused in wiping and her eyes narrowed suddenly.
That’s right.
How could she ignore this important issue!
To the old house.
They can't sleep separately!
